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 MBP not come with any cd's?

    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.

  • Does the new iPod 5 come with 6.1,3

    Does the new iPod Touch (5) come with Coverlfow?
    version 7 or with 6.13 I don't wan't to lose my Coverflow
    Very simple question!
    Thanks for all of your responses!

    Thanks for your both of you responses from both Niel & Mende1
    I have a 4th gen and am turning it in to Square Trade one of the best warranties in the business 3 years!
    I never updated to that crappy 11 version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro
    But let me tell you Square Trade will replace the whole **** thing with a refund
    I'm currently on Cover Flow 10,7 on the Mac
    Mac is the top of the line a (June 2012)  2.7 I7 quad core, with 512 solid state drive and anti-glare sreen (Non- Retina Model)
    I didn't dig when Apple removed the DVD/CD player so I says a definitely NO!, and proceeded to go along with the very top spec. (non-retina) very expensive even thought it was not the Retina model.
    So No!  I don't have have the Retina Model but I do have the very highest spec. md 2012 model.
    Hesitated updating to iTunes 11 and glad I never had to pull out my hair by downgrading like the rest of these guys
    So I'm experiencing some defects on my iPod Touch it's almost 3 years old and have the Square Trade warranty a lot better then Apple's and just wanted to know if the new iPod Toucn 5 came with Cover Flow on it because I won't update to that new crap. That's exactly what we want 10.7 Cover Flow. Never Update from 10.7
                                                                 Thanks from both of you guys, your great & really nice guys\
                                                                                                                         Thanks Very Much!

  • Does the new magic trackpad comes with the Force Touch

    Hi
    I want buy a new magic trackpad and I wonder does it come with the new "Force Touch" that has been recently introduced to a new MacBook? 
    Thanks
    Save13

    According to the article, there is no stand-alone trackpad with that new feature available at this time:
    It makes some sense to imagine Apple will introduce support for Force Touch inside future versions of its $69 Magic Trackpad at some point. It is also likely Force Touch will be rolled out in future iOS devices.
    And, according to the store page, they are still selling the regular trackpad (no mention of a new one):

  • 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 new ios 6 come with siri for the iphone 4?

    Ok so i just downloaded the new ios 6. I like it but was hoping it to have siri. I have an iphone 4 and have been searching in settings for the siri. Is it just that the Iphone 4 does not have a fast enough processor as the iphone 4s?

    Norman, I just updated my software on what I thought was my iPad2 and Siri is there & works.  Is this possible? I purchased this last November (weekend AFTER Black Friday) and I did replace it about 4 months ago when the screen cracked (thank God for the accidental coverage plan).  Is it possible they replaced it with the IPad3??  I'm curious now.  How can I tell if it's a 2 or 3?  I'm getting the upgrade to iPhone 5 next month.  The iPhone 4 goes to the hubster.. hehehe

  • Does the new iPod nano come with any games?

    My iPod Gen 4 has Solitaire and a couple of other games on it.  Are there any games on the new release?

    You do know the 6th Generation Nano also did not have a video camera, calendars, contacts, alarms and a mic?
    Sales of the 5th generation were not close to previous versions and with the release of the iPod Touch Apple took the Nano in a different direction making it smaller and lighter and more in the Shuffle family.
    You can record voice memos using a headset with a microphone.
    Hold onto your 5th generation and when the battery dies hope that Apple is till replacing them. It is so difficult to change the battery in the 5th Generation that 3rd party sites won't even attempt it. They will sell you the battery but it is a ***** to replace it yourself. I sold my 5th when the 6th came out as I never used the video, or the voice recorder or contacts, calendars, etc. I do miss the alarms.

    Does anyone know if the new ipod nano comes with a camera?

    The newest nano is the 7th generation. It does not have a camera. The 8th generation is the next one, for Apple to release whenever they want. We do not know when or what it will have.

    NicholasLiban -
       When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process.  This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition.  The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

  • Does the Apple Hardware test come with Snow Leopard?

    Does the Apple Hardware test come with my iMac 27" i7?
    If so, how is this activated and is it used as a periodic test or only when a problem develops?
    Thanks

    The Hardware Test will be on the Install DVD(s) that comes with your iMac. With the correct DVD inserted, (re)start the iMac while pressing & holding the "D" key to start into the HT. Run it anytime you want to check the hardware.

  • Does all new macbook air come with OS X Mountain Lion?

    does all new macbook air come with OS X Mountain Lion? if so, where can i find it? cause if i'm right, i remember saw a mountain lion logo on someones desktop. also, if i have it on my mac, why do I find it in the apple store saying that I need to purchase it for $19.99?

    All new MacBooks Air come with OS X Mountain Lion, as it's the only supported version in Mid 2013 MacBooks Air. Mid 2012 MacBooks Air come with Lion or Mountain Lion, depending on when they were manufactured.

    The Mid 2013 MacBook Air uses a special OS X Mountain Lion version which is different than the version available at the Mac App Store. That's the reason why you see the price at the Mac App Store, but you already have Mountain Lion. If you try to purchase Mountain Lion, the App Store will tell you that it's not compatible with your MacBook Air. To reinstall Mac OS X, you have to use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
