yep yep..
the website did say "We'll email you" well,, where is it ?
I bet Apple will get more complains more complains if these codes can only be used one, because several network connection/interruptions can result....
If you cannot resume from another mac, then what?
nice.
They lied/forgot.
I'd hold off on the nay-saying until their site comes back online.
Spam folder ? Usually iTunes promo ends up in there but my legit developer email dont. Google likes to punch Apple in the kidneys like that.
Perhaps they didn't get anywhere near 1 million signups? If you signed up previously, I wouldn't worry about it. You don't even need the email if you previously signed up, just log in and you can get your code.
do you suspect that icloud drive will be accessible from icloud.com? so far it is not on beta.icloud.com but i consider that a necessity.
It has been less than 2 hours since they released the beta.
Wouldn't it make more sense that they're waiting for the "first batch" of testers to download the beta then email everyone else who don't keep up with the news as frequently to prevent their servers from overloading?
It is for me. I can even get to the page where it gives me my redemption code.
Yes people are stupid. I'm installing it on a partition of my main machine because I don't own multiplical macs.
Ok guys,
I got the code already redeemed error. Signed up after WWDC. etc etc
I finally am downloading Yosemite. How?
Easy.
Scroll down to the end of the page. Click Leave Program. Leave.
Go to the beta program page. Click sign up. Enter your ID again.
It will give you a new code. Copy and paste it manually into the AppStore.
It will accept and start downloading.
Oh, also, it will give you the "We'll be back page" again and again. Just hit reload when that happens.
Apple. It Just Works.

Feeling the love.....
I guess I also did not read the instructions correctly..need to go to apple beta website and sign in....now downloading
Hope it was better then the developers previews since they
messed up my checksum and disk labeling on my fusion drive even though I installed on an external HD?????
Oh, bummer.

I never got an email and upon signing into the site had the download link show right away rather than the sign up button a friend had. If you have already signed up then you should have a place.
I find it funny you say you're annoyed before you knew if you had missed up. Do you often get annoyed before things happen?
Nope. no where to be found...
I call a 'Apple decided to change their minds' on this one.
I created a new Apple ID, joined the program again, got my code and redeemed it against my normal ID. Downloading now.
Interesting. I'm at work so I haven't gone past the part where it tells me my code.
