Just finished the update process. I'm currently speaking this using dictation, I'm absolutely loving it. I think the update is really worth the price of £13.99.
 
Hi Forum

First time poster and proud owner of a Mac mini (3 months). Download went fine but I can not upgrade due to a missing USB (4GB?) stick for a clean install. Can somebody please post which version of python got shipped with ML? Thank you in advance and greetings from Russia.
 
I want Lion so bad, I might just install the GM if it's the same version...

Also I was talking to an Apple guy, he said emails only take 24hours not 72... things are looking slightly up? If anyone from the UK gets there email be sure to post it here! :)

Second that. Called Apple Care Sweden and after 18 minutes talking to the rep she confirmed that an email should come within 24h...
Now the waiting game begins for real

This is ridiculous!!! "Only 24 Hours for an email"?
Why is this necessary? The OS is priced at £13. You can buy higher value stuff on iTunes with just your Apple ID.
Why are we having to jump through all these loops even if the d*** system was set up/worked properly. This is not doing Apple's reputation any good, especially combined with the mess-ups when originally ordering.:mad:

I agree, but Apple are never prepared for any launch, that being software or products... just wait a few days they'll sort it out ;)

That's why i just wasted my possible free download and parted with my £13 or so which is the equivalent of my average daily supermarket shopping basket as i can't be having this nonsense for the sake of a (reasonably priced) OS update.
 
Yeah i "ordered" mine key at 14.50 and then i went to work around 50mins after.. Then i come home 19.35 and no key was in my mailbox DAMN Apple!

So i called to Apple/AppleCare and ask why it has not come yet and she sent the email one more time and if it's not there tomorrow morning then i should call one more time then we should solve the problem together..
 
Thanks!

Hope yours hurries through, just tried it and it fails saying not a valid code.

Not a problem, will contact apple as could be overloaded servers or the previously mentioned code issue.

Whatever happens, it all works out well in the end. :)

EDIT TO ADD:

Was a problem with my eyes, now with glasses on to triple check it works now I can read better, my fault for rushing.

Absolutely agree that making us jump through hoops in order to get our upgrade redemption code is very "un-Apple" like.

This should have been done a few days in advance of the release.
 
Yeah!

Very pleased as to how well it works.

Commmon Appple!!!
I called the Apple support and they said it might take up to 72 hrs! WTH! Why???

Because they're busy with everyone else.
 
So much for using my work's awesome bandwidth to download ML... no redemption code email here (yet).

WTG Apple at delivery! :mad:
 
You cheeky get ;)

I'm in Cardiff with a 100mb connection!

Cardiff and Wales are not synonymous with one another though! ;)

It was brought to my attention a couple of weeks back that much of Wales was still in the process of having Infinity rolled out across the board.
