MY SERIAL NUMBER IS NOT RECOGNIZED BY APPLE. SO I CAN NOT GET A FREE COPY OF LION.

I bought this macbook on my apple id and ON the 6th of june. And the serial number is 100% correct. I guess I will get an illegal copy of lion then. Good job jobs. Well done. You have just lost a loyal customer!!!!

Why is anyone even supporting this company anymore. **** this

Did you even try calling AppleCare before you decided to go postal?
 
I'm peeved.

Tried to do a qualifying up to date, and it doesn't recognise my serial no.

Despite me purchasing this new MBP on the 6th June 2011, as shown on my invoice.
Tried the secondary method, and it won't accept the serial no, went to applecare and that is recognised, with the correct purchase date.

I'm sorry Apple **** U

same here, although i was 1st july. on the phone to apple as i speak. will update you if i find out anything

Edit: just got off the phone and he told me, he and his senior adviser have both tried with different serial numbers and neither have worked. he said it seems apple didn't expect the rush that lion has caused.
(they need only have looked here!) so yeh it's just a bit over run at the mo

Downloading in Sydney, Australia

Logged out of App Store, then rebooted.
Logged back into the App store.
Reverified my credit card (twice).
Hit "Buy" and finally, it's coming down.

I'm off to bed. Will install it at work tomorrow.
 
Whoever gets Lion downloaded first, please can they confirm that making a bootable disc still works?
 
The quicker i reply, the quicker new posts come in my Inbox... lol


Well... least that'll kill SOME time anyway.
