Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Mountain Lion code already used ?

Try to use my redeem code from the encrypted PDF. Get the message "Die code is al gebruikt. Elke code mag slechts eenmaal worden gebruikt". Or in English: "This code has already been used.".


What is wrong here? I obviously never used the code before. Has the system already been hacker or something?

Same problem for me. Opened a ticket via the website and Apple told me that I'd be receiving a working code within 24-48 hours. 24 have passed, I couldn't resist and replied like this:


"Hello,

I know that only 24 hours have passed, but, seriously, it's pretty clear that it's an AppStore bug so just tell me if it's gonna be fixed soon or if I have to pay the 19,99$ and download Mountain Lion as if I wasn't eligible for the free upgrade.

Thanks."

I just got this....


Hi Jan,


I do hope that you are enjoying your day so far, even amongst what is going on.


Please also forgive me for any confusion that this has caused. What has happened here, is that when you had contacted us, Apple was not completely aware of some of our customers not receiving valid codes to redeem this. We are currently investigating this now and I will contact you again once we have more information.


While I do realize that I had asked you to wait up to 48 hours, you will need to now wait until we find a resolution for this. I assure you though, that we are working hard towards this and I will continue to keep you in the loop of things.


Take care.


Sincerely,


Shandi

Also just got my code. Downloading as I speak.


Just to keep you guys posted about what I did:

- Called yesterday to Dutch applecare

Got a response that they din't really know whats going on. ETA of max. 72 hours.


- Today I mailed applecare

Got a response, that they also did not really know what was going on and could not give me any ETA.


- Got a new PDF mail and a password for the PDF mail, just about an hour ago.
