OS X Mountain Lion Free Upgrade Form Goes Live For Eligible Buyers
As per Apples promise of delivering a free Mountain Lion upgrade to customers whove bought a Mac on or after June 11th, a web form has gone live on Apples site that asks for purchase details and delivers a redeem code upon approval.
Apple calls it the "OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date Program."
From Apples site:
Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 11, 2012 and the date when Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from the date Mountain Lion becomes available to make their Up-To-Date request.Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac after Mountain Lion becomes available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from the date they purchase their Mac to make their Up-To-Date request.
The form asks for the date and place of purchase, personal details of the buyer, and serial number of the Mac.
According to MacRumors, who gave the whole process a try, the redeem code is sent via email, in a password protected PDF, the password for which is sent in another email. The code can then be entered on the Mac App Store, once Mountain Lion goes live. (For the entire text of the email, head over to MacRumors.)
Wed advise you to wait for the release, and only then fill in the form at this link.
Although the release date for Mountain Lion isnt announced yet, its widely anticipated that the OS would go live on the Mac App Store a day after Apples earnings call, which is scheduled for Tuesday. OS X Lion release followed the same pattern.
That makes Wednesday, the 25th, a very likely date for release.
Mountain Lion would be available for $19.99

HOW TO The Complete Idiots Guide To Downgrading From iOS 5 To 4 X
Well you had to do it didn’t you. You just had to taste that forbidden fruit… and now you have been cast from the garden, and are sitting in the dark… alone… with a pretty black brick that used to be your beloved iPhone. Attempts to roll back have left you frustrated and your soul seeks guidance… Not to fret! We are here to help bring you back from the abyss!
Before we get started, here is a few items you will need to acquire…Now that we are all Squared away there, you will need to download the following items before you can proceed.
- Some ice for your head, to sooth it from all the pounding against the desk
- A cold drink (this may take a min)
Ok that was fun. Now what? The rest of this walk threw assumes you have at least a somewhat higher IQ then that bricked iPhone your holding. If not, stop here and check craig’s list, perhaps someone there can help you.
- The IPSW of choice (I would recommend 4.3.3 as it is jailbreakable and still being signed by apple. I can’t think of any logical reason why you would want to roll back further… But, your are not the logical type now are you (as proved by your updating to a buggy beta without any means of correcting your own mistake! What were you thinking!). Just make sure you have your SHSH stored with Cydia if you choose to go older then 4.3.3) this can be found up there in the corner under the downloads link. Just find your device and go.
- TinyUmbrella. This can be found at http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/ . Just download the version that will work for your system. I’m assuming your on a Mac, so this guide will be based on that system. Otherwise it’s similar, so follow along anyway.
- iTunes 10.5 beta. You should have this already as you needed it to install 5.0beta, but just google it, if for some reason you don’t already have it. (I can’t link that here, sorry folks)
If you are wanting to roll back to 4.3.3 (which should be most of you who are not drooling on themselves), follow these easy steps
- Open iTunes
- Plug in your device
- Enter DFU mode
Steps to enter DFU mode:
- Turn device off
- Hold power button for 3 seconds
- Without releasing power button, hold down home button for 10 seconds
- Release power button, but continue to hold the home button until iTunes recognizes your iPhone in recovery mode. If you did it right, it should just have a black screen with no connect to iTunes logo.
5. Hold down the option key and click the restore button in iTunes6. ```wse to wherever you have your IPSW saved and select it.
7. iTunes will give you some gibberish about wiping out all your data… I know you might not be able to read it, just click the flashing ok button.
8. Sit back and do whatever it is you do while your computer is working (just try not to drool on the keyboard.)
9. If you are using an iPhone 4, you should be done. If not, you have received some sort of error more then likely. This is normal. Open TinyUmbrella and click the exit from restore button.10. YOUR DONE!!! Be sure to put your helmet back on before you go outside
NOTE: if you have changed your host file for cydia, you have to change it back to use this guide. TinyUmbrella will do this for you in the advanced tab.
