Determining when my iMac was purchased

Is there a way, (maybe using the serial number) to determine when my iMac was purchased? I do not have any receipts or personal information to use. Thanks!

Hey Frank,
Run your serial # here:
http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
That will tell you the date and place of manufacture.
To know the purchase date you'd have to have Apple (genius) run your serial # They keep records on the date of purchase and original purchaser.
If you're not the original purchaser you might need to know who that was. I ran into this when getting a purchased eMac repaired under the extended warranty. They needed to know who I purchased it from and I didn't exactly remember but close enough to get the repair done. There were also records of all work done on the machine.

  • 3 kernel messages in a week - all 3 when the iMac was idle

    In the last week I had 3 kernel messages:
    All after the iMac was idle for a long time. In the first two times it was "sleeping", and in the third time just the display was asleep (I canceled the computer sleep to test it...)
    In all three times, the screen was asleep and the iMac didn't respond to the keyboard/mouse. I had to manually shut it down and then restart it. When it came back up, there was a "your computer had a problem" kernel message, with a report to Apple option.
    During the week, I was working with the iMac every day for about 10 hours straight, without any problem... in all 3 cases, the problem occured when the iMac was idle for a long time.
    I suspect that its related to a waking up of "something", although I put "never" under "computer sleep" and the "put the had disks to sleep when possible" box is unchecked...
    I tested the RAM with both Rember and the AHT and all was ok. AHT didn't find any problem.

    Any ideas of what might be causing this? Do you thing it's hardware related although it only happens when the iMac is idle and didn't happen during work time (again, 10 hours straight, daily)?
    Thank you!

    Thank you both.

  • Determine when a database was backed up without using MSDB tables?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if there was another method to determine when a database was last backed up without using the backup history tables in msdb? whether using DBCC DBINFO, DBCC PAGE on a specific database page...etc.
    Also, when restoring a database, is there a trace flag you can use to force restore details to be written to the error log?
    John M. Couch

    The backup success message is written to the log, but the question is whether you can get restore information outside of successful restore messages to the log. i.e. backup file header information
    And on a server I just restored a database too, if its not the source server, there will be no backup information in MSDB for the database or log file. Is there something internal to the database that would have that information?
    John M. Couch
    if you restore the database -- your msdb database has restore tables, that will tell you where you got the backup from etc..
    select * from msdb.dbo.restorehistory 
    if the backup is from another server, use linked server in the msdb fr backup tables(not restore tables)
    refer https://sqlwhisper.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/database-restore-report/
    also, AFAIK,i do not think backup information is stored in the database, i would be curious know
    as well.

  • Purchasing FCP upgrade in US when FCP 5 was purchased in Hong Kong

    This may be a dumb question, but I have a friend that wants to buy me an upgrade to Final Cut Pro Studio (I currently have Final Cut Pro 5) in the US. I purchased my copy of FCP in Hong Kong. Will there be any problems with my friend purchasing FCP Studio for me in the US and giving it to me when he visits (I don't live in the US)?

    Hi wokboy, I see you just registered here today, so welcome to the Discussions.
    Are you referring to Apple's current offer to upgrade (in your case) FCP5 to Final Cut Studio for $99? If that's the case, then you'll first need to send your FCP install disk to your friend, and he will have to send it on with payment and the upgrade form to Apple.
    More info here:http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
    If you use the standard US English version, I don't think it would be a problem.

  • How do I determine when my Mac was built?

    I am trying to upgrade my older iMac to OSX 10.7
    It appears that's as far as I can go with this older Mac. I bought the 'key' to upgrade (I got a pdf plus password)
    but the link they gave doesn't seem to work although the password was accepted; the place they told me to go on the website
    in the App store doesn't appear (i.e. neither "quick links" nor 'redeem', which they tell me will be shown
    so I am stumped. Can anyone who has done it point me in the right direction? You can see I am not tecchie so it's
    probably straightforward, but oh, so frustrating that I've wasted all morning looking and not finding. Argh!

    Just in case, make sure your Mac meets v10.7 Lion's requirements >  System requirements for OS X Lion
    Your Mac must be:  Intel Core 2 Duo
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    Open the App Store then select Categories from the menu top of the App Store window.
    You should see a box on the right that says: Quick Links
    You can click Redeem there.

  • I recently updated to Mavericks.  I can't update iPhoto.  It states that I need the original apple ID when the computer was purchased?

    I can't update iPhoto or iMovie after upgrading to Mavericks.  It stated that the Apple ID and password were not the same that were used to purchase the software?

    The Andyman,
    are you the original purchaser of your MacBook Pro? Have you associated your MacBook Pro with the same Apple ID which you’d used to purchase iPhoto and iMovie?

  • My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio books it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something . What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

    My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio book it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something ? What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

    Yes. Other things have synced including books, but I don't know how these happened. According to the 'audible' instructions it should happen automatically, but it doesn't.

  • HT2452 My iMac was stolen the receipt doesn't have the serial number but I did register the computer when I purchased it how do I get the serial number

    My iMac was stolen the receipt doesn't have the serial number but I did register the computer so Aplle must have a record of it. How do I get it.

    Go to the Apple website and your support profile. It should list that iMac and the serial number for it. You'll need your Apple ID and password for that Apple ID.

  • HT4414 When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message:  "We could not complete your purchase.  The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."  I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion?

    When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message:  "We could not complete your purchase.  The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
    I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion.   I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Hope it helps.

    i have an imac g4 purchased Dec 2003 runnung OS 10.5.8.  It runs fine with airport off, but when I turn airport on it freezes with the black page,  "restart by holding power key . . ."  I swapped the airport extreme card with the one in my ibook G4 (purchased same date and running same OS).  No change in operation.
    I am running wifi from verizon.  Recently changed from mifi2200 to jetpak 4620 in a 3G location.  Ibook running fine, desktop freezes.  If I can boot desktop in safe mode and get airport turned off in time. then I can reboot regularly and imac runs flawlessly with no wireless.Have run disk utilities and TechTool Pro rebuild etc, but nothing has worked.  How do I fine the culprit?

    the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
    That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
    We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
    I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
    After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
    Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
    Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
    After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
    Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
    I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
    Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
    This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
    In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
    Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......
