  • Free Upgrade on New iMac?

    Hi,
    I purchased a new iMac in July am supposed to get a free upgrade to Snow Leopard. I signed up
    to be notified and have yet to receive anything from Apple. Anyone know anything about this?
    thanks

    Lightscrib3,
    You must apply for and purchase a Snow Leopard upgrade via the Up-To-Date program. This isn't completely free; you must pay $9.95 for product/shipping.
    How you apply depends on how you purchased your eligible Mac. If you bought online, apply here. If you purchased at an Apple Store or authorized reseller, look here.

  • Help, please! Any advice on how I link my new iMac and my new itunes software with existing external harddrive containing my entire itunes library?

    Help, please! Any advice on how I link my new iMac and my new itunes software with existing external harddrive containing my entire itunes library?

    Hello!
    It should be a matter of
    Quiting iTunes first if it's running
    Connecting your external harddrive to your Mac, use the Finder to browse to it
    Find your iTunes folder on the ext HDD and double-click on iTunes Library.itl
    If you have any trouble with this, please let us know.

  • Is a new iMac meant to come with Lion? I had to pay to download and upgrade my machine

    Is a new iMac meant to come with Lion? I had to pay to download and upgrade my machine

    Most new ones now have Lion pre-installed. Some models still in inventory before Lion was released still have Snow Leopard pre-installed. If you wanted Lion then you needed to purchase and download it from the App Store unless you applied for the free Lion redemption code. Since you may have purchased an older model that was on sale and did not get Lion pre-installed you had to purchase Lion separately. The Lion Up-To-Date offer expired some time ago, but you are free to take the matter up with the vendor.

  • How to upgrade RAM in iMac 2013 models

    how to upgrade RAM in iMac 2013 models. I know one can ask for RMm upgrade while buying iMAC from online store. Is it advisable to upgrade the RAM by self or from some professional?

    Even if you do get the 27",  RAM installation is a PTA to install.  Prior to setting up your computer on your desk, you must lay it it face down on a soft area (couch).  Then you have to maneuver your hand & fingers either around or under the pedal to pop open the RAM door.  When putting the RAM into the slots you need to use all of your God given muscles to get them in there.  Otherwise, while you are seating one RAM, the one next to it will pop right on out. 
    When you hear the "snap," the RAM is seated properly and it's neighbor(s) will not pop out.

  • How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.

    How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.
    Could it be a borked cable ? I just bought it new from the store today, i have updated both imac and macbook pro to latest thunderbolt firmware and updates. Both 10.7.3.
    MacBook Pro:
      Vendor Name:    Apple, Inc.
      Device Name:    MacBook Pro
      UID:    0x0001000A17016E60
      Firmware Version:    22,1
      Port:
      Status:    No devices connected
      Link Status:    7
      Port Micro Firmware Version:    FFFF.FF.FF

    You are correct, here is what Apple Says:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3775
    I was able to find these instructions, however they referr to 2009-2011 27" iMacs. I think it's the same, if it's not then contact Apple directly for instructions. If either of the machines is less than 90 days old or covered by AppleCare then call AppleCare tomorrow for help, they should be able to easily answer this for you. You will find the number in your manual or you can use the AppleCare Contact Info link.
    Your iMac should automatically recognize the presence of a digital video signal at the Mini DisplayPort and enter Target Display Mode.
    If your iMac does not automatically enter Target Display Mode, press command + F2 to manually enter Target Display Mode.

  • My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my iMac without installing Lion first?

    My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my new iMac? I only want to transfer photos and my music, currently on my PC (and on my iPod Touch & iPad).
    Can anyone give me a list of steps to follow or let me know if Migration Assistant is available prior to Lion for PC to Mac?
    Thank you so so so much!
    -SweetDee

    SweetDee,
    I'd be VERY surprised if your machine was not shipping with Lion installed. However even if it doesn't when you initally install Lion it will launch into Setup Assistant, if you follow the prompts it will ask if you are migrating from another machine. You can use Pondini's Lion Setup Assistant tips for help, look for the section(s) on MS Windows migration. Also I would strongly recommend bookmarking and studying the following sites:
    Switch 101
    Mac 101
    Find Out How Video tutorials
    In closing remember you have 90 days of free telephone support with AppleCare. If you run into trouble they will be happy to assist or if you have an Apple Store in your area you can book an appointment with a Genius and they can usually help you out.

  • How to upgrade from os x 10.6.8 to Lion os 10.7.2

    How to upgrade from os x 10.6.8 to Lion os 10.7.2?

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
    Unless you previously got an installer for Mac OS X 10.7 through 10.7.2, you can only upgrade to a newer version.

  • My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

    My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

    I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited.  In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items.  I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible.  I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected.  Hope this helps!

  • How to upgrade old version of MacPro 1.1 with Lion 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion? There is some way by inserting 64 bit instead od 32bits. Reply to Stefan Erix

    How to upgrade old version of MacPro 1.1 with Lion 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion? There is some way by inserting 64 bit instead od 32bits. Reply how to do it to Stefan Erix, Uppsala, Sweden
    <Email Edited by Host>

    If you are a developer, or have a similar personality, there is an aftermarket EFI-64 "work-alike" program you can load into memory instead of 64-bit firmware. It is too complicated for regular folks.
    You must already have upgraded your Memory and your graphics card to use this solution, and your Mac will not operate quite normally. Any problems with it are unsupported.

  • If I wanted to upgrade my new iMac in the future, how would I go about it?

    I have no desire to void the 3 year Applecare plan I paid for.
    I just bought the new iMac 2011, I would like to upgrade the RAM, the HDD and add an SSD in the future, without doubt. Does this mean that, in order to do so, and remain within warranty, I am going to have to bring my iMac to an Apple Store, buy the parts directly from them, and pay for labour?
    Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Greetings,
    Memory you can upgrade yourself.  It is covered in the manual for your computer: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_mid2011_ug.pdf
    --This is the only customer installable part.
    The hard drive is another matter.  iMacs are HIGHLY compact desktop computers.  Gaining access to the hard drive requires removing the LCD and the glass that covers it.  While one could do this in theory, and perhaps not damage any components in the process (which is what voids the warranty), I wouldn't risk it.
    Apple Retail stores do not in general offer after market upgrades.  You could contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider to see if they do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
    Personally, I'd buy a computer with an HD that meets my needs and use external drives as needed as they are very reasonably priced these days.  Its not like you're gonna be carrying the iMac around .  Or maybe you are?  27" portable?
    Once the 3 years are up (if you keep the computer that long) you can start cracking it open if you like.  Though frankly there may something even better out by then.  Having the AppleCare ups the re-sale value so you could sell the old system online and buy something new.
    Hope that helps!

  • Can't install CS3 Upgrade on NEW iMac 24". An Imac DVD drive issue?

    My CS3 Design Premium Upgrade CD fails to install Photoshop on my BRAND NEW iMac yet it is able to install everything else on the CS3 disc. I just bought this iMac yesterday and CS2/CS3 Upgrade are the FIRST things I installed (besides updates) when I turned it on. I'm still using 10.4.10.
    I searched through the Adobe forums and the internet as to how others with the same issue have dealt with the problem, but it seems the most common reason is that people had installed Photoshop CS3 beta previously as well as older Flash/Acrobat plug-ins conflicting with the installation process. Further, these causes seem to be effecting Windows users.
    So a few hours ago I tried to COPY the upgrade CD contents to my hard disk, I get the message:
    "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'AdobePhotoshop 10en_US.dmg' could not be read or written. (Error code -36)."
    This procedure of copying to the disk (and the resulting error message) is SPECIFICALLY addressed in the Adobe support pages TechNotes:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401429&sliceId=2
    The page says that it may be a drive issue that is causing the problem. Of the 7 possible solutions given on the page, I've narrowed it down to only 1 option left (but I can't try it since I don't have another Mac!):
    "*Solution 4*: Copy the software to the hard drive of a different computer.
    *If the software copies successfully, the model of DVD drive on your original computer might not be able to read the DVD. Contact the DVD drive or computer manufacturer for any updates that might be available.*"
    But what's funny (or annoying rather) is, I had a 20" Alum 2.4 iMac earlier this year (returned because of screen problem), and the CS3 upgrade installed without any problems on it!..??? And according to the iMac specs, the 20" and 24" models both have the same DVD drive make right?
    Any ideas??? Are there other 24" iMac users who are experiencing similar problems? If not, then I guess I may have to return yet another iMac...which I'm reluctant to do since this screen is PERFECT! I'm scared to get another iMac with the dreaded screen gradient issue.

    I just solved the problem.
    I tried copying the DVD files to the hard disk about 7-8 more times. The last try SUCCESSFULLY copied to the disk and I was able to install Photoshop CS3.
    Yay.
