Simunlockediphone, welcome and apologies for the sarcasism above. Re: the mac.com account that you speak of above. I see that Apple is new to you. There is no shame in this. As an FYI, a .MAC account is an account that literally 10000s of people have and it's quite common. See the Apple Website for additional details if interest persists.

Re: how Apple will get the software. They will get it via different means. Who know, perhaps they already have a copy of it already? On ne sait jamais.
