Use the serial number at http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html and you will get build information down to the week, plus exact model designation.
Also, if you have Temperature Monitor installed, you can use its "Show System Window (cmd-4)" to get build information.

How old is my Mac mini and can i run mountain Loin

I have a mac mini Intel core 2 duo, 1.83 GHz, 2 GB SDRam running Mac OSX 10.6.8. Several of my software apps states its 64 Bit Intel. Can I run Mountian Lion? I have no idea how old my mini is or how to find out. I really just want to use the icloud. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.

It would appear you have a Mid-2007 model. You can run Lion but not Mountain Lion. iCloud works with Lion 10.7.2 or later.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

How old is this Mac Pro???

I am in the process of purchasing an 8 core Mac Pro 2.93Ghz. The seller states the superdrive is x 16 NOT 18 so is this a particularly early model please. I am sorry but I don't have an item reference number. The remainder of the description is:-
Apple Mac Pro 8 Core 2 X 2.93 quad Intel Xeon 640GB 6GB.
Some advice welcome before I part with a substantial sum of money! Thank you.

18x SuperDrive with double-layer support (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW

Easy enough to add or swap for 3rd party.

A PowerPC G4 or G5 can't be upgraded past 10.5.8. If you're trying to install an application and not a newer Mac OS X version, check its system requirements and use the original disk or download.

Sounds to me like you may have gotten a machine with hardware issues, but it's hard to say. It will shut down if it gets too hot, but that's not a normal occurrence. I have never seen a MacBook Pro shut down due to heat, even after lengthy 3D gaming sessions where the fans are running fast and the bottom of the machine is unpleasant to touch.
First thing I would try to do is reset the SMC. If that doesn't help, erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch, which you should always do with a used machine anyway.
If a fresh system doesn't help, you'll need to get it checked out by Apple.
Edit: Oh, and sig is absolutely right... please don't post in all caps! It's very irritating.

You can write to Apple with the serial number and they can tell you exactly when your MacPro (as opposed to Mac Book Pro) was manufactured.
And in the Apple menu > about this Mac > more info > there should be sufficient detail to narrow it down.

How to reinstall Photoshop Elements from old Pc into Mac?

How do I reintall Photoshop Elements Windows version into my new Mac. PC was stolen.

I looked at it, Barbara, but you can't download 9 without the discs. I
originally downloaded it online and Adobe now tells me it only has 10 to
download.

Did you not look at the link in the thread in my last post, Lorna?
When you buy software it's your responsibility to keep the media against
future reinstallations, whether you purchase via download or on disc. If
you registered your software, for PSE 9 you may still find a download
link in your adobe store account, if you purchased PSE that way, also.

How to updgrade from Mac OS 10.3.9 to 10.4 or 10.5?

Hi, how do i upgrade from Mac OS 10.3.9 to 10.4 or 10.5? (except buying the software) do i have to achieve all my files before? is there any risks of loosing data? would i require to also buy a new Iwork office? or the 2007 version is still applicable?
Thanks for your help and reply

aline_b1,
I'm presuming that you mean iWork 06 when referring to the 2007 version. It will work perfectly with OSX 10.4 (it has OSX 10.3.9 or OSX 10.4.3 as a minimum requirement). There are free updates from Apple for each of Keynote v3 and Pages v2, you may have these already.
It's always a good idea to backup you data whether you're upgrading or not. Something as simple as a USB memory stick will work, if you make the effort to compress the data - using the right-click "Create Archive" in the OSX Finder will be quick and easy. It'll also protect any files left over from OS9 (resource forks - if you don't know what these are, don't worry, you don't need to, compression will make sure that they are safe). Leave the original documents in place, the backup should only be needed if everything goes wrong.
You may also want to check the compatibility of all the applications you normally use with the new OS. Many of the Apple produced applications will come with new versions in the new OS. But others, like Firefox will have newer versions available if you want them.
If you want to list the programs (with version numbers) that you normally use, some here can help with compatability, and what the new versions are. You may however consider this to be revealing too much of your identity.
I'm planning a similar upgrade at the moment, Tiger is already installed (it has been since I bought it from new) on a 2nd drive, and I check the compatibility of all my applications in Tiger (it's a long list) before I will finally make the switch permanent. Some applications will continue to work, some will work with free patches, some will require new versions - of which some will be free and some will cost money.
I've also got to make sure that all my old documents (used Mac since 1985) are still usable with the applications available under the new OS. You may be more fortunate.

how can i tell how old my mac book pro is?

To find out what Mac model you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page. If you're doing this to determine if it's compatible with Mavericks, the simplest way is probably to try downloading it; the Mac App Store will check.

How do i identify how old my imac is?

how old is my iMac? Can I use an external monitor to extend the desktop?

1. Append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page. Also see #2.
2. If the 10.6.8 in your information is correct, you're on an Intel iMac, which can use an extended desktop.
