Anyone bought a imac in UK with Tiger and ordered Leopard disk for £5.95

Im looking at buying a iMac, I can get 10% discount from Comet and so am thinking of going there.
However there iMacs come with Tiger on, but I belive that if you buy an iMac after 27th Oct (ie now) then for £5.95 you can get Leopard sent to you from Apple?
1) Has anyone done this?
2) How long did the disk take to arrive?
3) Do you still get iLife 08 with Tiger bought formthe shop?
4) Did everything go smooth on the upgrade?

Ian, 
Will is correct that neither Tiger or Leopard included iLife however Panther did include iMovie and iPhoto.
the loc-man,
Each new Mac will have an software bundle on one or more discs that will include both a copy of OS X and iLife etc. This is where the confusion comes in when the bundle is on a single disc.
Although I did order an iMac on 10 Oct and ordered a UTD copy of Leopard for £5.95 on 25 Oct I couldn't answer your question as I haven't used the disc preferring instead to use the separate Retail disc I had for the Powerbook. (So I do have two licenses but only used one disc )
cheers

  • IMac (Original shipped with Tiger) and Front Row

    Quick question
    If i have an iMac, the first one that was shipped with Tiger back in June 2005 and i purchase the Apple Remote, will it be compatible with my computer and will it come with Front Row, or is it exclusively only for iMac's shipping with the Remote and iPods with a Universal Dock?

    Is your profile correct? Is there a reason you're still running Mac OS X 10.4.6? I think you'll need to make sure your iLife applications and iTunes are up-to-date as well as Mac OS X for everything to work correctly together. Mac OS X can be updated to 10.4.11, iTunes can be updated to 7.6.1 and QuickTime can be updated to 7.4.5 all for free. Which version of iLife do you have? '06 or '08? You'll need to make sure you have the most recent versions of iPhoto as well...

    Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and  TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

    Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
    Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
    But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
    Hmm, ideas anyone?

    You can go strait to SL, all you need is a retail SL DVD available from Apple for $20. The US online store has them at:

    Before you go through that trouble open About this Mac > More Info... > System Report > Audio and see if the system actually knows it has a microphone.  Then you can look into Applications > Utilities >  Audio MIDI Setup and see if the microphone is there, select it and make sure the sliders are set to full. Then in System Preferences look for Sound > Input and make sure it shows up there and the sliders are at least half way up. If none of that works do a
    SMC RESET

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
    then go through the process of looking for the microphone again as the reset may reenable the mic.

  • I bought my imac in 2009 with Leopard software, I want to upgrade to OS X Lion, do I have to purchase Snow Leopard first?

    I bought my iMac in 2009 with Leopard software, I want to upgrade to OS x Lion, do I have to purchase and install OS x Snow Leopard first?

    You will need Snow Leopard to install Lion unless you buy it on the USB drive from the Apple Store. You may wish to think about buying a Snow Leopard disc in case you wish, like some others, to return to Snow Leopard if Lion is not suitable for you. I personally saw the advantage of paying for SL and downloading Lion which was about the same cost as just buying the Lion USB installer.
    Good Luck

  • AI have an iPad and iPhone but am stuck with Tiger and Leopard. Will I stir be able to get my email on my PowerBook if I after I upgrade to iCloud?  I don't have the cash to upgrade the mac right now.

    I have an iPad and iPhone but am stuck with Tiger and Leopard on my old powerbook G4.  Will I still be able to get my email on my PowerBook after I upgrade to iCloud?  I don't have the cash to upgrade the mac right now.  Just wondering what my email options are.  Thank You.

    You will be able to get your mail on the PowerBook. The calendars (iCal) will not sync; any events added to iPad and/or iPhone will not sync with the Mac but will sync with each other (that is: the mobile devices which are on iCloud). My  MacBook Pro (Lion) and iPad2 (iOS5) sync fine; I still get my Mail on iBook G4, MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and iMac (Snow Leopard).

  • My 1st iMac, need help with the upgrade to Leopard CPU Drop-In DVD

    Hello all, my 1st post as a new Apple switcher!
    I just received my new iMac 24" today, and I am not sure about the upgrade to Leopard. (Came pre-installed with Tiger, and came with a Leopard CPU Drop-In DVD). I have read about a few issues with the upgrade / re-install process to Leopard, stemming from the rumor that the Leopard CPU Drop-In DVD is not a full version, but an upgrade only.
    First of all, obviously I am supposed to put in the "Drop-In DVD" and let it rip, but there are several options to pick from. One of them is upgrade, and another is to erase the hard drive and perform a clean install.
    My questions are:
    If I perform the erase and install, I have heard that iLife 08 will not be installed. If so, where / how do I reinstall that and any other apps that are left out?
    Secondly, in the future, if I need to re-install again, will this "Drop-In DVD" work because Tiger has been removed from the hard drive? Will I just pop in my Tiger disks like the old Windows stuff required?
    I plan on just doing the upgrade, but I would like to know what to do in the future if I have to do an erase / install.
    Thank you, and the iMac 24" is gorgeous!

    Hey, I know what you mean.
    I upgraded to Leopard after buying my first mac with Tiger.
    I rang customer service and asked how do I install iLife 08 if I do a clean instal,l as when i upgraded my Safari would not play flash, quicktime or open certain websites. Also I had a very long load up period with Blue Screen which bothered me a lot. (I know I am fussy)
    Anyway my brother suggested I use Pacifist to get the .pkg files from the Tiger boot disk. He took control of my machine as he has Leopard and did this for me remotely as I am not a wizard like him.
    By the way that is a great feature of Leopard.
    Anyway this worked for me, only iMovie would not start properly but when I download the updates to iLife 08 they all work perfectly now. Saved my 79 euro as well instead of having to buy again as I think iLife should be supplied on a separate disk, (bad form apple) as they know for many a clean install is likely if they experience serious issues upgrading.
    Anyway pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/ is worth a try if you can't afford to fork out for iLife again like me.
    Just make sure you select all the iLife .pkg files and composer files. when it installs if the files are already there just click leave alone and it will install only what it needs. Then run the updates if you have any issues opening any of the programs such as imovie and this should replace any missing files.
    I have open and run all the iLife programs and so far so good.

  • Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?

    Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?
    I have been trying to install Photoshop CS6 & CC and Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac Pro (late 2013). I keep getting a 'configuration' error message and wondered if the problem was wide spread.
    TIA,

    Thanks, Martin.
    Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.
    Thanks again,

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

    I need to have endnotes at the end with sections and numbering beginning again for each section. I also need to be able to write Chapter #s above each section of endnotes. How do I do this, please?

    I have precisely the same problem and am wondering if anyone has found a workaround for what seems to be a bug or an unattended issue in Pages. Hopefully the next update (whenever it arrives, I hope it arrives soon) will take care of this.

    If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS?

    Right. But as I understand it, the aGPS is a function that speeds location using cell signals, but isn't necessary for the GPS signal. I can buy a plugin device that is a real GPS that I can use with my iPad mini. However, I would need an app for maps. I was wondering if anyone had used one of these.
