All Intel iMac are running 10.4.4 out of the box, right?

I got my iMac about a couple weeks ago. Since the Intel iMac was released on the same day that the 10.4.4 update came out, I assume all the new Intel iMacs already have that update installed. Am I correct in assuming that?

Hi Mr. Large
Click on the apple in your menu bar and then click on "About This Mac". This will tell you what version of Mac OS X you are running. If you want to find out more about your Mac's hardware and software you can click on "More Info…". This will open the utility System Profiler (this is to be found in your Utilities folder). It's worth browsing this to see what you have got.

  • When I purchase a Car GPS are these units ready to go out of the box (once charged)?

    I would like to know when I purchase a car GPS system (Garmin or Tomtom) if they are ready to be used out of the box, once they are charged ?
    Or do they require any additional programming, map installations or logins?

    Hi Eveready,
    Yes, it's pretty much ready to go. Plug it into the cigarette lighter. I would recommend that you update the maps as soon after purchase as possible, while it's still free from whichever brand you bought. 
    Good luck and you won't get lost ever again!

  • I just upgraded to Mavericks and now my Intel iMac is running more slowly. There have been no other changes. What's up with this???

    I just upgraded to Mavericks and now my Intel iMac is running more slowly. There have been no other changes. What's up with this???

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
    The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There wiil be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
    When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

  • IPhoto Tray not available on an Intel iMac 24" running OS 10.5.1

    I have two computers in house. One is a PPC iMac 17" running OS 10.5.1 and iPhoto 5.0.4. With this computer I can print a 4 x 6 photo on an HP Photosmart C6180 all in one printer using iPhoto.
    My other computer is an Intel iMac 24" running OS 10.5.1 and iPhoto 7.1.1. On this computer I cannot print a 4 x 6 photo on the same printer. The reason I cannot is that Paper Tray selection option does not function on this computer. One is supposed to click on the box showing "iPhoto" and select the option " Paper Type/Quality" Which should then reveal the options of "MainTray" and "Photo Tray.
    Clicking on "Paper Type?Quality" does make the Option appear, the selection box remains on iPhoto.
    This problem can only be solved either by Apple or HP. I have e-mailed HP numerous time but only after extensive investigations on my part have I finally really understood the problem.

    Had you done a search in this forum for either "Paper Tray" or "HP Photoshmart"? This has been discussed many times previously and there may have been a solution that someone has come across.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    all my pdf are printing mirror image since i started the subscription for adobe

    Hi pintu777,
    I see that you just got an ExportPDF subscription. That shouldn't have any affect on the way that your PDF files are printing. Has anything else changed on your system? What are you printing to and from (Reader or Acrobat)? Do other types of files print mirrored as well?
    I look forward to  hearing back from you with a few more details. We'll get this sorted out.

  • Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not  all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?

    Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not  all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?

    I have done a little experimenting: 1-close all open windows (I found that I had to do this step in order to keep Safari from hanging-will be explained later). 2: Remove all data in Prefs. 3: Immediately close the prefs window (no window should be open at this point) and quit Safari. Try to complete step 3 fast as possible; I have it down to a few seconds. The reason I urge you to close all windows is that Safari hangs until forced to quit upon immediately quitting after removing cookies. I think the auto page reload in Lion is the cause of these hiccups but I can't be sure about that. The hasty quit I found is crucial to success. Don't know why that is but it could prevent the data from re-populating. A quick flush, if you will.  Hit me back if you need any of my suggestions clarified; a bit wordy, I know

  • Metagen is skipped sometimes complaining because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files

    Hi,
    In one of my dll (VS2010), the process Skipping target "MetaGen" because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files.
    it is at  random.  I have checked the time stamps of the dll and metagen.write.1.tlog both having the time stamp on the failed build.  But all files in release folder did not have the same time.  They are one hour earlier than the dll
    and the  metagen.write.1.tlog.
    On the good build  it said the input file is is newer than output file ".\Release\\metagen.write.1.tlog" and allfiles in the release folder have same time stamp.
    Any clue to solve this ?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Based on your post, I am not very clear about your issue. I feel your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
     Could you please provide us more information so that we resolve your issue better?
    What type of project are you working with? C++ MFC project?
    How was the
    metagen.write.1.tlog file generated in your project?
    What error messages did you get?
    What is the 'input file'?
    If possible, please provide us a sample project to reproduce your issue.

  • I plug my 1 month old iPad mini retina into a uk plug socket using the out of the box charger, it charged from 0-27% in 3 hours and now refuses to charge at all. Any ideas are more than welcome!!!

    I plugged my iPad Mini Retina in to charge this morning in a UK plug socket using the official out of the box charger.
    It charged from 0-27% in roughly 3 hours.
    I have come home to find it is not charging at all, when turned off when I plug the powered cable in it does turn on as if it is receiving power but it does not charge.
    It is 1 month old and hasn't experienced heavy usage as such.

  • My usb ports are not reading anything in plug in. new out of the box iMac

    i just took my mac out of the box and the usb ports don't seem to be working. i plugged in a gopro and an external hard drive. neither will show up anywhere.
    there is power going to them. what might be wrong?

    Worth a shot. Whats the harm.
    I'd not recommend it on a brand new Mac. That should be considered DOA. See this caution in this article:
    an SMC reset should only be attempted  after all other standard troubleshooting has been performed.

  • Out of the box initial setup locked up - how to re-run it?

    Unboxed our iMac 27" yesterday and as it was going through the first time setup, when it asked to take a picture to associate it with the user account I created, both buttons were grey-ed out and couldn't take a picture either.  I let the computer sit for a good 15 minutes in case it might recover, but it didn't.  I held the power button in long enough for it to power off and to my suprise, the setup didn't pick up where it left off or resume.
    Since I had already created a user, I could log in and it seems that all is well.  Should I bother attempting to re-run setup - I've seen some posts on how to boot into another mode and delete a file to get it to think it's new out of the box again.
    What steps were missed?  Was it almost complete?

    I'd call AppleCare (# in manual) and let them walk you through it. It's free and they are very friendly and courteous.

  • Which Linux Distro Works Out of the Box With the iMac late 2009 (11,1)?

    Hi. I use all 3 OSes because the other two OSes have tool and games that are not yet in OS X; best of both worlds. Win 8 on Bootcamp is nice for games and utilities but I'm installing Linux too on a separate external drive. I've tried a lot of Linux distros but they all have the bug that prevents ths iMac 4850 mobility GPU to work (you need a second monitor to solve it which I don't have the space for and I only use Linux every so often) but have you tried a Linux distro Live CD/DVD that works flawless on this Mac without editing commands in Linux's GRUB console on Linux bootup?
    If there's no distro that works out of the box, what's the closest distro that may only need a few adjustments on its boot menu (GUI preferably not console commands).
    But if there's a distro, what's the distro name and exact version (link to download it too if it's alright with you)?
    Thank you in advance.
    God bless.

    Hi, and thanks for you interest. The problems is that whether I'm using iMovie or FCE I get to a stage where the thumbnail image is present but if you try to play, import or any other action in either app it closes down and a message comes up " The Application Final Cut Express/iMovie quit unexpectedly - Mac OS X and other application are not affected" then asks if I wish to relaunch. I then hit the report to Apple button and afterwards relaunch. I was recommended to use Voltaic which I have tried, it worked but is to much mucking about for something that should work out of the box.
    This problem happens on both the iMAC and the MacBook so quite sure it's not a OS software issue. All software update are up to date also.
    Any ideas?

  • Restore iMac to "out of the box"

    I have replaced my iMac desktop. New one is up and running.
    I would now like to restore my old one to "out of the box" condition to give to my aunt.
    I tried Command R on start up and after the system was reinstalled, have found that my information is still on there.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you

    Follow these instructions:
    What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
    In addition to the above:
    If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    "Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
    System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
    Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
    Then:
    Start your Mac with its original System Installation DVD (if your Mac shipped with one) or OS X Recovery (if it didn’t).
    Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
    Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    Remove any partitions you may have created.
    Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
    Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
    The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take. The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
    When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
    Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu. Do not create any user accounts.
    When it finishes, shut down the computer.
    If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD and install the bundled apps.
    Applicable to selling outside your family or others close to you: Don't forget to include any DVDs that came with your iMac, your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it.
    Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
    Once no longer in your possesion, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.

    Use the CQWP when you have a limited amount of content, your query is simple, and you don’t expect your content to grow much in the future.
    Use the CSWP in all other scenarios when you want to show content that is based on a query.
    The table below gives a comparison of the two Web Parts:
