I am about to buy the new iMac, but do I have to buy all the software I have in my old one, like Aperture, pages, etc.?

No, you don't. If you got it from the Mac App Store, log into it with the same Apple ID and redownload it for free. If you got it from CDs or DVDs, reinstall it from those; having the DVD version of a program does not get you a free download of it from the Mac App Store.

New to the iMac and apple

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you aren't going to use your Mac for anything special (Final Cut, Aperture, Photoshop, games...), you don't need that graphic card and you will save money.
Also, as it looks like you are going to buy the 27-inch iMac, I recommend you to buy the Mac with 8 GB of memory, and then, buy the memory that your iMac needs in OWC or Crucial (the iMac supports 32 GB of RAM) > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L
Doing this, you will save a lot of money. Also, it won't void the warranty of the Mac. If you need help installing the RAM, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5540

Glenn,
I tried upgrading to leopard, even bought the software and brought it home but it wouldn't let me. So i went back to apple, gave them the specifications of the machine and been told my machine is simply too old for leopard. This is incredible to me because it really isn't THAT old (i think just a little over 6 years maybe) and yet i'm left out on the curb when it comes to using newer apple products. I understand technology moves on but the mindset that i am supposed to dump a perfectly working machine after a couple of years or face not being able to use any other apple product is counter to what thought apple was about.

The new iMac I don't see a CD rom. Does it have one

No It does not have a CD drive. you will need to get a Superdrive or something like an external DVD drive

I uploaded the latest X Yosemite and fond that Aperture did not work. Then I started the new Picture but are not able to upload all my pictures (app half of them) have anybody had the same issue? and can potentially advise me on how to fix it?

Thanls Ernie. I found the solution. My problem was previous to 10.10.3. It looks like the installation of final cut and uninstallation of fcp delte a plugins that was needed for Aperture. I recover from time machine my plugins in Library/frameworks/plugin.manager.framework and now Aperture works ! Ouf....

I am trying to load my library on the new computer but it will not let me import. the shared library disappears when i shut the original computer off.

I am trying to load my library on the new computer but it will not let me import. when i shut off the old computer the shared library disappears.

Yeah... that's exactly the way it is supposed to work. Sharing the library does not move it anywhere.
To move the library to the new computer, copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

I moved my Aperture educator's version onto my new iMac but now I cannot open my photos. Do I have to buy the latest version again?

OSX version 10.9.4
Aperture version academic 2.1.4

Aperture 2 is not supported on OS X 10.9, in fact it has not been supported since 10.6. While some of the functions might work overall it will not run sufficient;ly well to use and corrupting your library is a real possibility.
So yes you will need to upgrade to the latest version of Aperture by buying it in the Mac App Store. Keep in mind that Apple has announced that Aperture is being discontinued. It will work with the new OS coming out in the fall but will be replaced by the new Photos app now being developed.

Thinking of buying a new imac, but....

Hi peeps,
I've got a bit of a predicament on my hands. I've made a decision that I'm going to by a new imac because I need it for uni and stuff. But I start in September and need it before then for obvious reasons, the other problem is that Leopard is scheduled for October if I'm not mistaken.
A mate told me that I could buy an imac something like 3 months before hand and get the upgrade for leopard free? I just want to confirm that because that would solve it! The only problem with buying like that, they could postpone it more.
But anyways, can anybody confirm that?
Cheers,
Will.

Will..first...Welcome to Apple Discussions..
No one here can answer that since we are all just end users without special knowledge of Apple's plans...
Besides it would be speculation and the 'Terms of Use' that we all had to agree to to post here would be violated

Migrating user data to new iMac, but need to maintain some information on the new computer.

Hi,
I'd appreciate some advice on setting up a new, actually used, iMac. I purchased a year-old iMac from a guy who left several apps and some music on the drive. Should I just use the Migration Assistant as I ordinarily would, or do I need to take some action to ensure that the info on this new computer is maintained? If used normally, will the Migration Asst. integrate the music the seller left for me into my iTune library, will it keep those files discrete from the files already in my library, or is it possible that it will toss them out?
Thanks,
spreldog

I HIGHLY recommend you format the drive and reinstall the OS before you enter ANY of your info on it.
Then use Migration Assistant to get your info from your old computer to new computer.

Whenever my new iMac updates or is shutdown, I lose all the Bookmarks that I've created in Safari are gone. Anyone know how to prevent this?

Several times now I have created a Bookmark list in Safari but everytime the iMac updates the software, or I shut the computer down, I lose all the Bookmarks. Only the pre-installed Bookmarks remain. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening?

Try resetting PRAM.

I just got a new iMac. I set it up and all of my contacts have disappeared. They have disappeared on my iPhone and my mac book air as well. How do I get them back?

All contacts have disapppeared from my iPhone, my mac book air and my new iMac. How do I get back. I assume it has something to with iCloud. Thank you.

Use your computer's backup to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link, or do the same with both computers networked in some fashion, which shouldn't be hard to do if both computers are connected to the same wireless network.

Every iPad ever made does have WiFi. Yours does too.
If your cellular carrier allows it, you could use your iPhone as a hotspot. That would generate a WiFi signal your iPad could use.

Contact the develpers of that app, which is not an Apple product for support. You can find the developer contact info in the description of that app in the App Store or Google it.

HT1296 i want to sync my ipod with the new itunes but i cant unlock my passcode without the screen turning on, what to do?

recently my ipod touch 2nd generation screen hasnt been turning on at all,i've tried the home screen button and power button but even that doesnt work,... i have updated my itunes to the newest version but i cannot sync it without unlocking my passcode how can i go into recovery mode or simply back up my ipod if there is no way to unlock it?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
