Who else is pulling an all nighter tonight?

Nope, I've been trying since it actually went live on the store with the banner etc.

Yeah same, I bet this will carry on until like tomorrow for us. This is really annoying, I've been refreshing and clicking since 12:30 GMT!

 

[NotYoMac]

[SOLLERBOY]

Just tried on my MBP as well and that is kicking up the same error.

Same. Been about an hour now, I've been checking every 5-10 mins. Still nothing.

On a slightly unrelated note, my Messages app has morphed back into iChat on my Mac.

Just got a redeem code after registering with apple only moments ago now it's only the waiting game. I am excited on the reviews except gizmodo so much bias. One more thing I still can't see myself going back to windows on a mac after that freeze on stage on the surface, I got to give Microsoft credit for braving it out.

I feel a repetitive strain injury coming on. Thanks Apple!

Just tried again and it took ages and looked like it was doing something but came up with the error again. Surely the world's most valuable company doesn't take an hour and a half to roll out it's latest OS?

I guess good things come to those that wait, but this ain't no kitty kat it's a mountain lion and it's unleashing it's havoc on the global populas can you feel it's bite!

Lion is no longer in the U.S. App Store anymore. Doesn't that seem strange that apple would remove it?

There must be a shortage of Mountain Lions in the UK. None want to come near my MBP.

My redemption has been accepted now this lion is resting soundly in bed, purring blissfully. However I will unleash my terror on both my iMac and Mac pro retina tommorow.

Installer says less than a minute remaining.

EDIT: Finished and rebooted. Seems exactly like Lion haha.

The new safari is freaking great. Very fast!

Anyone else planning to test Internet Recovery with a blank HDD/SSD to see if it stuffs Mountain Lion or just old Lion on?
