Do iMacs come with multiple or single users

I am going to buy a mac soon and I am going to be the only person using it. Do iMacs come with single or multiple users software?
Thanks, Eva

The default configuration for a new Mac is a single user configuration. If you migrate user accounts from a different machine, you will have multiple users on that computer when you first log in. You can also create additional accounts from the Accounts pane of System Preferences. In any case, there are several system-level accounts and groups, which will not be visible on the login screen or in System Preferences.

  • Does the new 2011 iMac come with a osx lion preinstalled or a osx lion USB drive

    Does the new 2011 iMac come with a osx lion preinstalled or a osx lion USB drive

    I just bought the 17" MacBookPro the other day with Lion preinstalled and wanted to install Lion on my iMac. It makes sense that I should be able to upgrade for free you spend all this money on Apple products, give us apple supporters a break. Maybe this is something that Apple overlooked and in the future there will be a fix.
    I read up on forums and I finally called AppleCare they said that I should be able to install Lion on 5 other computers but only if purchased in the store, this doesn't make any sense. I feel like I already purchased a copy and that copy should be able to be installed on another computer. It should be as simple as logging in app store with the same apple ID and it be there to install on my iMac. If apple is trying to make everything user friendly, device syncying and convenient well it's not; this is just something they think of. I refuse to pay $30 for another copy. Fix this issue APPPLE!!!
    Because if those who bought computers in July that didn't have Lion preinstalled can obtain a free copy to install in 5 computers. I should be able to do the same with the Lion that I bought preinstalled it's just make sense to me.

  • Do iMacs come with built-in microphones?

    I have what may very well be a dumb question so apologies in advance. Do iMacs come with built-in microphones? I have a 21.5"-inch flat-screen iMac running OS 10.7.5. I recently downloaded Skype and have my very first video call scheduled for next week. If iMacs do come with a built-in microphone, what -- if anything -- do you have to do to activate it? If not, any suggestions as to what the best external micophones are? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Thomas, no dumb queatios here!
    If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...

    Hardware Overview:

    Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1

    The new iMacs will only work with Snow Leopard, and only the release on the DVD supplied with the computer (the Snow Leopard upgrade disks won't work). The problem is that they require new drivers.

  • Imacs come with a weaker graphics processor than specified by apple

    Recently I bought an 24inch 2.8Ghz Imac which really works fine, but i discovered something rather strange when running some benchmark programs in windows XP. Apple advertises that the new 24inch Imacs come with ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO graphics card, however benchmark software programs like 3dMark06 and Sisoftware Sandra recognise the video card as a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600XT; which is a notebook video card and thus weaker in performance.
    The video card in the new imacs really are the weakest components, but now apple delivers an even weaker notebook videocard set while selling it as being a desktop videocard. I think it is hard to believe that they mistakenly put a wrong videochipset only in my imac so I was wondering if more people have noticed this and if yes, what action can we take??

    Hi,
    What model does System Profiler claim the graphics card is?
    however benchmark software programs like 3dMark06 and Sisoftware Sandra recognise the video card as a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600XT
    How up to date are those benchmarking tools? If they're older than the graphics card in question, maybe they default to the closest they can find.
    If it really is the wrong chipset, contact Apple directly via the Apple Store telephone number.

  • Do the new iMacs come with 3rd Gen Intel chips?

    Do the new iMacs come with 3rd Gen Intel chips?

    So, the answer is No.  If they were 3rd Gen the series would start with a 3XXX.

  • Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

    Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

    It's $80.00. You can buy other externals for less, I think, but only the Apple one will work with Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows and any other applications that will only work with an "internal" optical drive.
    If this isn't important for you, then explore less expensive alternatives. Check out OWC for example.

  • Do any imacs come with a touch screen if not whats the best touch  screen for a 2012 13inch macbook air

    Do any imacs come with a touch screen if not whats the best touch  screen for a 2012 13inch macbook air?
    Thx

    No they don't.
    Apple's position is that touchscreens are for tablets and phones (in Apple's case the iPad and iPhone) and that OSX does not need a touchscreen - the trackpad and/or mouse is more flexible.
    That may change in future but no one here knows.
    In answer to your second question, there is NO touch screen available for the MacBook Air (2012 or any other vintage), nor for the MacBook Pro.  If you must have a touchscreen, consider an iPad with a stand and a wireless keyboard.  Alternatively, a Windows 8.1 laptop or desktop???

  • Do new imacs come with digital videocam software?

    Hello,
    I know someone who's sick and tired with his Win XP machine. He has a digital video camera which he wants to burn onto DVD, but he has a lot of problems. Mind you, he doesn't know much about computers, and perhaps a bit more experience would help. Anyway, he's lost patience, and I suggested that he looked into getting a Mac, because they are known for their user-friendliness.
    He's already spent 500 dollars in software for getting the movie from Digi Video Cam to DVD via computer, so it makes him weak to think that he has to invest again in software.
    My question is: If he buys an iMac, does it come with software for him to edit and burn to DVD?
    P.S. We are also looking at a Mac mini. Does the mini come with software necessary to edit and burn a digital movie file from video camera to dvd?

    If you have XP installation disk with SP2, you can get Bootcamp free which will allow you to insall and run windows, then your investment in Windows software will not have been wasted. However, I am using the iMovie that came with the computer and it works just fine.

  • Does my iMac come with antivirus? What's best antivirus to get? Where to find?

    Does my iMac — purchased within the last two months with Version 10.7.3 — come with antivirus? I can't find it on my system. If not, what's the best antivirus to get? Where do I find it?

    It's integratedd into OS X. You don't need any anti-virus software. See:
    Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan and Virus Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip.
    To check for the trojan: Anti Flashback Trojan 2.0.4.
    A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. Or the preferred method is to use Apple's protection tool: Flashback Malware Removal Tool 1.0.
    Or, open Software Update. If you do not have the Apple protection software installed it will download and install it via Software Update. If no update appears that means you either already have it installed or it isn't needed for your system. The software is only available for Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion versions of OS X.
    Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
    For general anti-virus protection I only recommend using ClamXav.
