Does the current Mac Pro come with OS X Lion?

I want to buy a Mac Pro and was wondering if it has OS X 10.7, aka Lion installed already.

They were initially selling new, old stock with 10.6.8 installed and a free upgrade (based on serial number or invoice number) to Lion via download.
In the extremely unlikely event that you buy a Mac that was in a box at the local store before the July release date of Lion, you will get a free downlaod of Lion, just as before. You may want to perform that at the store, where they will show you how to download from their Server, much faster than at home.
By now, all the old stock should have been sold and every Mac you buy (including refurbished from the online store) should have Lion pre-installed, but NO DVD in the box. To recover/re-Install, you need Broadband Internet or take it back to the Store and use their Internet.

  • 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.

  • Does the new MacBook Pro come with a disk drive

    Hi
    Does the 13" retina display MacBook pros come fitted with a disc drive ??
    Thanks

    No, it does not. However, when you are customizing the MacBook Pro with Retina display on the Apple Online Store, it gives you the option to purchase an external disc drive, AKA the Apple Super Drive. If you are purchasing from an Apple Retail Store, they sell these there, too, so just ask.
    I hope I answered your question.

  • Does the newest macbook pro come with iDVD?

    i made a video of my summer vacation and tried to finalise it with iDVD but i was unable to find it. Is that normal or is it supposed to come with it? And when i tried to finalise it and export it to iDVD it said it was possible but it couldn't find it.

    No, iDVD and iWeb are no longer included with new Macs. They are  only available on the stand-alone iLife installer DVD now. I think the change occurred when Lion was released.

  • Does the new mac pro support the Apple cinema display

    Does the new mac pro support the Apple cinema display

    There is no 2007 23" Cinema Display
    There is a 2002 23" display that has the Apple ADC connector
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg
    There is also the 2004 23" display with a DVI connector.
    For the latter you just need a mini display port to DVI connector that plugs into the Thunderbolt port
    For the former you need that connector plu an DVI to ADC connector

    Does the new MBP not come with any cd's (startup discs, etc).  It does have Lion installed

    Yes.  New school does not need them. There is a Recovery partition build into the new Lion OS that takes the place of DVD's.

    The basic charge is US$949 starting from the 2.8 Quad.
    • to move up to the 3.33 hex add US$550 to the base price for a total of about US$1500.

  • Can you dual boot Windows XP on the current Mac Pro?

    I'm currently interested in purchasing a new Mac Pro but want to dual boot Windows XP to play older games. Is this possible with the current Mac Pro's software and hardware?

    The current version of OS X only allows bootcamp to be used with Windows 7 and above.  You would have to have a version of Snowleopard to install XP in bootcamp.
    You "could" use a 3rd party program like VMWare Fusion, or Parallels desktop to install an XP virtual machine.  There was also a free Virtual Machine program for Mac, but the name escapes me.
