Has anyone that posted to this thread noticed if mountain lion fixes the problem?
Oh man, I saw an email from Apple and had my hopes up on the confirmation email for the free copy of Mountain Lion only to see it was a discussion reply email. Hopes dashed just as quickly as they were raised! lol
When I get Mountain Lion and play with it I'll post my results and see if the issue continues.

Jul 25, 2012 10:55 AMby jps24,Did you sign up at http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ to get the update cause I did that this morning and got a response email before i even left the page

Jul 25, 2012 11:00 AMby Scyanide,Yeah, I did. To make sure it all went through I tried a second time an hour later and it is saying my S/N is already being used so I assumed it was from the first time I submitted from this morning. I'm reading that some people are getting theirs within 10 minutes while others, like me, it has been over 4 hours now and still no email.
Figured if I don't see anything by the time I get home from work I'll give Apple Support a call and see what is up. I'm pretty sure I'll get the "it could take up to 72 hours to process" line.

Out of curosity, this goes out to those that already got their email, when did you purchase your new hardware? I was starting to form a small theory that maybe they quickly process everyone's claims that are after a certain date up to today but for people, like me, who purchased on June 11th they are looking at closer to make sure. Tinfoil hat theory, I know, but still curious on how certain people get theirs so quickly while others do not.

Jul 25, 2012 6:27 PMby qwertme,After installing Mountain Lion I am still having issues. It doesn't have the visual glitches anymore but when it comes back from sleep the screen is blank. I close the lid and when I open it again it reboots....
I am using the "More space" scaled option, my MBPr is attached to a Thunderbolt display with Ethernet.. So far I have noticed that it always happens when I am running VirtualBox.
I am going to be using the "Never Sleep" technique mentioned above until this gets properly resolved.

Jul 26, 2012 7:02 AMby jps24,thanks for the feedback cause i have a replacement coming for this problem but i am not sure if i should take it cause the visual glitches are the only problem i am having and if its software i dont want to get another that wont fix the problem and could have more issues. Anyone else still having the problem or did it fix yours?

Jul 26, 2012 7:07 AMby n8rand,Hi jps24 - I would just hold on to your machine. I had my machine swapped out, and it did not resolve the issue. It's definitely a software issue from my perspective. I provided the support advisor with feedback relaying my experience with the swapped out machine. Hopefully we'll see an update soon that fixes the issue.
