Hi anteros27
Take your time and follow the instructions in the User's Guide, there you will find information for Setting up your iMac, Keeping Your Software Up to Date and much much more.
Here's the User's Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMacEarly2008UG.pdf
then tons of info at Mac 101: http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
about Software Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
That should keep you busy studying up until your new iMac arrives. Enjoy!

  • I have a 2002 imac, how do i update the software?

    i have a 2002 imac, how do i update the software? i have the original software and it wont let me update itunes! help!!

    Apple seldom leaves of old versions of iTunes compatible with a 12-year old computer on the web site. What OSX version is currently on the iMac?
    If you need a newer version of itunes to support an iPad, iPod, or iPhone, your computer is too old. Full support for Apple iDevices requires Mac OS 10.6.8; a 2002 iMac is limited to no higher than 10.4.11, or maybe 10.5.8 with a hack. Still, not enough for working with current mobile devices.

    It can depend on which software you need to download.  If you originally purchased the siftware by download, then look in your Adobe account online to see if there are links to download it again.
    Alternatively, you can check the following page to see of your software is included in the available downloads:

    Had to buy a new computer, how do I transfer all data from my iphone4 to new computer?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

    Please dont tell me to call Apple as i dont have the time, sounds stupid but if you knew me you would understand. So I forgot/was never asked security questions. I put £15 on my ipod yesterday and was asked for security answers I dont know the answers! So, I have been told to make a new Apple ID i have heard I wont lose my Apps But will i lose my £15
    PLEASE HELP thanks in advance

    If you did not use any of the newly redeemd gift card you may be able to get that transferred to the new account but you have to contact Apple.
    Why not try recovering your old account?

  • Getting a new computer,, how do i transfer all my library AND apps?

    is this an easy task?? i know how to copy my library to an external hard drive? but does this copy include all my apps? and how do i transfer from the ext hd to the new computer?
    can someone post a link to instructions??
    thanks

    This iLounge article has the best instructions I've seen
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/
    The apple instructions are very poorly written. They only provide links to other articles and it's difficult to piece it all together, get the big picture, since apple does not explain why they're telling you to do this or that.

  • I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures.  How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old?  Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?.

    I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures.  How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old?  Will getting a new iMac solve this problem? 
    I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem.  Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos?  Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

    The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
    iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.

  • Have a canon dc310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's?Camcorder unable to connect to computer. Will a mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with a mac?

    I have a Canon DC310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's and doesn't have the ability to connect to a computer.  How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's?  Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device?  Which device works well with the Mac?  Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac?  Thanks!!

    No DV port in camcorder.  Just a yellow AV port/hole.  I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's.  Can I use this with a Mac?  Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac?  Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way?  Thanks again!

  • How to get the new camera raw 7.2 update?

    most of our company computers are offline.
    so how do we get the new camera raw 7.2 update?
    until now they were always released as manual downloads.... now i have to read this from adobes blog:
    Camera Raw 7.2 – Please use the update mechanism in Photoshop CS6
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/
    does that mean there will be no manual update anymore or is it not up yet?

    Thanks for the link, Anthony, and yes, I have already seen that.  But I don't need the description or justification to know that it represents a step backward in image quality.  Admittedly a small one, but a step nonetheless.
    Let me be direct:  The color-fringing that occurs on edges that concerns me is not addressed by the new implementation.  Specifically, the colored remnants from de-Bayering (what some call de-mosaicing) are what bother me.
    My point is that the old simple Defringe setting, set to All Edges, worked very nicely to fight this common aberration.  There's a thread around here somewhere in which I visually demonstrated the differences.
    Here are the important points:
    The new Defringe feature, even thyough it has more controls, simply CANNOT be configured to remove those same de-Bayering colored remnants as effectively as the old, simple Defringe: All Edges setting did.  Thus the new implementation is not a superset of the functionality of the old.
    When one tries to configure the new implementation to reduce de-Bayering color remnants - even with minimal settings - the negative side effects of the new method are much greater and more visible, making it unacceptable to be made a default setting.
    It's worth pointing out that the old Defringe feature isn't available even under the PV2010 setting. The way the new Defringe feature was implemented represents a departure from Adobe's philosophy of maintaining compatibility with old settings.
    It shouldn't have been strictly necessary to remove the old Defringe feature as it was implemented to add the new implementation, which addresses an entirely different (though nearby) set of aberrations.  If necessary to avoid confusion or coding difficulties  it COULD have been renamed, though internally it could still work the same.  Or it could have been made an either/or setting.  Personally I think it would be nicest to be able to combine the two - old and new Defringe features - as needed. 
    As it is, for the above reasons - and the fact that the newest versions run slower - I've dropped back to using Camera Raw 7.0, which is an acceptable workaround for me for now as I still use a camera that version understands.  But of course that's not a viable long-term strategy.  If Adobe doesn't see fit to restore this feature I've only put off the inevitable image quality degradation until Camera Raw 8 and Photoshop CS7.

    Just bought a new imac and tried to download all my music from my iPod but it only allow me to download purchased items and not the rest of stuff stored on a previous pc itunes folder. How do I get round this ?

    The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

    Without knowing what you have tried please open System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing and select File Sharing. If you still have trouble you can call AppleCare in the morning when they re-open. You have 90 days of telephone support if you haven't already bought AppleCare.
