Finding which model mac you have

I am fairly new to macs but I have worked in retail sales for about nine years. Why is Apple so cryptic about which model mac you have. We us Mactracker, but that is still not the easiest. The customer has to remember when he bought it, what it looks like, ect.
Why is there not an easy way to lookup which one you have, like something simple such as a unique model number. I am trying to lookup this PowerMac G5, but I have no clue when it was bought. All I know is it is a dual processor PowerPC 2ghz but the closest I can find is a 1.8 Ghz version and it mentions nothing about dual processor.

PowerMac 7,1

PowerMac 2.0DP came out in Sept-Oct 2003 with 8 DIMM slots.
In 2004 the 1.8DP was speed-bumped up to 2.0DP with 4 DIMMs
The 1.8SP wasn't well received, everyone wanted and waited for dual, and the only dual in Late 2003 was the 2.0DP, but the yield wasn't as high. Me? I thought they should all be duals, and follow the POWER4 and come out with 1.4DP - 1.6DP - 1.8DP if that was what the chip yield dictated.

How to find which model of iPhone 5 I am using? and is that GSM or CDMA?

How to find which model of iPhone 5 I am using? A1428 or A1429 ? Is there any short code you can dial in and check the model number ?
And which is GSM or CDMA out of this model.

If you purchased the phone in the US with an AT&T contract then you have the locked CDMA A1428 version of the iPhone 5.
At the moment and if the contract is a new contact, then you won't be able to get the phone unlocked at the moment and no, you won't be able to use it in your home country. You will also have LTE 4G compatibility issues too and your phone will only work on 3G and also you need to remember that iPhones are only covered by country specific warranty, so it is only covered in the US, so if you go home and then have a problem with your phone, you will have to come back to the US to get it repaired.
You need to approach AT&T about whether they will unlock your phone for you as they are the ONLY ones that can do it, but the answer to your question is no and if you had wanted to use your phone at home, then you should not have purchased it in the US. The best that you can hope for at the moment is to use it on international/roaming.
If you purchased your phone in the US, then it will be a CDMA phone. You don't have a GSM phone, but GSM phones are unlocked anyway and these are the ones that are selling in Canada and the UK.
If you have your phone on an AT&T contract then ultimately, AT&T are the only ones who can help you with any questions regarding unlocking and they are the only ones who can unlock it for you, noone else.

Where can I find which credit card I have on file for iTunes?

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to see your payment info by going into the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) menu option and logging into it. If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup.

I'm an architect looking forward to purchasing a new Mac. Which model do you recommend and why?

I currently own a MacBook Pro 13 inch model (late-2011)
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
I'm an architecture student in my last semester, looking forward to buying a desktop Mac (for current and future use as a professional).
Sadly, for us architects we are limited with some mayor Architecture Programs such as 3Ds Max & Revit (both of which I use frecuently and have to use in a PC )
I have tried runing them in Parallels (in my MacBook Pro), but the result is slow and sluggish... so I plan on purchasing a new desktop computer as I believe these have more capacity to run this programs.
I would like to avoid using Boot Camp (hate having to restart the computer frequently) so if a Mac with be it Parallels/VMWare Fusion/CrossOver can do the job EFFICENTLY I would be happy.
So, which Mac model do you recommend for this case?
I'm undecided and would like some advice from you guys.
I'm not so limited on budget, but of course low cost would be appreciated.
If you could give some specific specs as RAM, Processor model, etc. that would help me more.
Im guessing the Power Mac is the best one...but just checking other opinions and answers.
THANKS!

Why not if you are going to run Windows pick up a PC with what you need?
The new mac pro 2013 won't be out for couple months and figure more time for software, even Fusion etc to catch up.
A VM is never going to be the same as running directly on the hardware natively.
The new Mac Pro though should be able to handle what you throw at it but even support for Windows could take time.
And looking at a new Mac operating system 10.9 Maverick. Windows 8.1 in same time frame.
If you do use a VM, install Windows natively to begin with and then attach the VM to point to it. There are times you need or want to run or apply updates natively.
The Mac has never had support for multiple high end graphic cards, no support for SLI and CrossFire-X, no 8-pin power connectors, if your software needs.
Mac Pro 2013 product page - new design and up to 12-cores and FirePro (2) GPU if you want to burn a pile of $$s.

Which model do I have?

I hear about the Pismo, Lombard, Wallstreet models of the Powerbook G3. Now all I need to know is which model mine is...
Here are the specs.
Powerbook G3 firewire
400 MHZ 1 MB Cache 10 G hd CD/DVD
192 MB Memory - yes it was upgraded
Airport
I want to upgrade the HD to at least 40 G preferably 60G and add memory to make it 512 MB
Any suggestions on which Hd to get.
I know it runs OS 10.3 because I have loaded that on it.. but it is just a little slow.
Various MACS, G3 through iMac G59 (and some 5500's) Mac OS X (10.3.9) Also systems 9.1, 9.2 and 10.2 Learning windows...

Welcome!
You have a great machine!
Pismos are wonderful pieces of hardware.
(Pismos are the only G3 powerbooks with firewire; last, and best, of the G3 powerbooks; also known as 2000 Powerbooks, for the year they were created in)
I would recommend an IBM/Hitachi Travelstar HD.
I am using a 7200 RPM 60GB, purchased from ZIpZoomFly for about $150 several months ago. Works great. Upgrading the HD made a huge difference in performance (already had 1 GB RAM).
Your 192 RAM is very minimal. You should buy a single 512MB module and replace the smaller of your two existing modules (you've probably got a 64 and 128, so you would end up with 640MB which should be plenty).
Here are some links to help you find RAM and hard drives.

Just purchased a 15" Macbook Retina Which model do I have?

Hello everyone,
Today I was lucky enough to purchase an open box 15" Macbook Pro Retina from Best Buys for $1200 (With some store manager employ discounts ) and I wanted to know which model I have. For example from the first day they released the 15" Retina how many models or changes did this product have? Now I compared it to the tech specs on Apple.com and I'm just confused with the graphics details. Here are some pictures of the details of my Macbook:
The current one that's for sale on Apple.com has a :
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
All help well be greatly aprecateted. By the way this thing is just amazing and I'm coming from a 2010 early model 13" Macbook Pro. WOW!!!

Finding out a password you have forgotten

I click on the Forgot Password? on the sign in screen(www.eprintcenter.com). I box pops up that allows me to enter my email address for the account. When I click on OK, another pop up box that says "enter the email of your account". It does not recognize my email account. If I try to set up a new account with this email, it says it already exits. How do I find out what my password is?

The issue you're experiencing is most likely due to an old Snapfish account registered under your email address. ePrintCenter and Snapfish account information is stored in the same place and I've seen this conflict before. You will need to go to http://www.snapfish.com/snapfish/welcome, click the "Sign In" in the top right hand corner of the page and then click the "forgot password" link and enter the email address that is causing your problems, you should receive an email from Snapfish that will let you create a new password there. Once you've created a new password for Snapfish, try to Sign In on ePrintCenter (http://www.eprintcenter.com/) using your email address and the new password you created for Snapfish.
Let me know if you have any further issues. Thanks
If I have SOLVED your issue, please feel free to provide KUDOS and make sure you mark this thread as SOLUTION PROVIDED!
