Does a new iMac come with anything like Appleworks?

The last time I purchased a Mac was 6-7 years ago - an iBook - and it came with Appleworks included. I'm planning to purchase a 21.5" iMac and it doesn't seem like anything like Appleworks is included. Am I correct to assume that I must purchase iWork or Office separately?
Thanks...

The old copy of Appleworks that you have will, indeed, work with Snow Leopard 10.6.2 I have a copy of it which dates from 2004 on my machine and it works quite well under Rosetta. I have it updated to the last available update, 6.2.9, which you can download from here if you need it:

Since you already have that copy of Appleworks left over from your old machine, and you are used to using it, you could give it a try after updating it if it needs it. You can then compare using it with Kenichi's suggestions and go with the best choice.

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.

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.

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.

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 intel based imac come with adobe flash player?

I am a new imac user. I have just purchased an intel based imac with Safari. Every time I try to watch videos on the internet or watch live tv it's telling me I need adobe flash player but then I read all these things telling me about the danger of downloading it.

Download it from the actual Adobe site, then you will be fine. Just type in safari http://www.adobe.com/ and follow the link to 'Flash Player'

Does the newer Macmini come with iDVD?

I bought the new Mac mini with Yosemite and couldnt find iDVD®
Did Apple not include it on the new machines?

iDVD has been discontinued for over 2 years now. If you have a need to create video DVDs you'll need to purchase an external optical drive (see OWC.com) and get iDVD.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Does a new MBP come with iLife?

Does a new Macbook pro come with iLife? I'm specifically looking for iPhoto and Garage Band. I just ordered it today. Do I have to add it on or does it come with it? I got iWorks preinstalled.

Yes, the full iLife '09 suite (iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, and Garage Band) is preloaded, and also on Install DVD 2 that will come with the MBP.

Will my new iMac come with Leopard or Tiger?

Hi,
I'm going to Uni on Monday and want to finally purchase my Mac now that Leopard has been released.
My question is: If I order my new Mac on Monday, will it come with Leopard or Tiger?
In the online store it still states that it will come with Tiger, but maybe this has just not been updated?
If people don't know the answer, would you happen to know an Apple contact email address or telephone number I can call (in the UK) to check prior to ordering?

Are you sure you want to get a Mac with Leopard preloaded?
It may actually not be compatible with some of the software you depend on, and will have no chance of being so (unless the product is updated) because Macs historically have only been able to use the operating system they ship with and newer operating systems, and we are still learning which products need updates for Leopard.
The online store has a phone number in the upper left hand corner:

Do new Imacs come with Microsoft Excel and Word for Mac installed?

Or do I have to order it in the options when I go to get a new Imac? I use Excel and Word spreadsheets. Thanks.

No.
You would have to purchase these separately through either the Mac App Store, Microsoft or through a third party software sales vendor.
OR you can purchase through the Mac App Store iWork suite of apps that includes Pages (word processor/page layout app) Numbers ( spreadsheet app) and Keynote ( slide and audio/video presentation software).

Does The 20" iMac come with a 5.1 sound card?

The question is pretty self-explanatory. It doesn't specify in the specifications section.

I posted this in another thread;
This is what the audio port can do; The headphone/line output jack accommodates digital optical audio out, analog audio output with a 24-bit, 44.1-192 kHz D/A converter, digital audio output up to 24-bit stereo and 44.1-192 kHz sampling rate and supporting encoded digital audio output (AC3 and DTS). For analog headphone/line out a standard audio cable with 3.5mm metal plug should be used. For digital audio, a standard toslink cable with a toslink mini-plug adapter can be used.
Anything beyond that needed by your external audio equipment would need to be supplemented with additional equipment like a Firewire or USB external soundcard.

Do New iMacs Come With A Separate iLife DVD ?

Is the iLife suite "hidden" in the general Software Restore DVDs or does it come on its own DVD, the same as if you buy it separately ?
Ian.

Hi Ian,
Is the iLife suite "hidden" in the general Software Restore DVDs...
Yes, it is. Installation of the iLife suite of applications is done by inserting the "Install Disk 1" DVD and double clicking on the "Install Bundled Software Only" installer package.
