I just bought a imac g4 and i didnt come with anything except the electric cable, do i need anything else. how do i hook it up.

help i need to know how to get this thing up and running, at least see if it works

Press power button & see what it does. Power cord is the only required cord.
Any two button usb mouse will work. Any usb keyboard will work. alt key is the option key. windows key is the command key. Apple keyboard will be easier to use.

The last 24" was a 2009 model and they started in 2006, so which one is yours?
Here is a list of all 24" models:

All of them had a built in Superdrive. It could be dirt (easy fix) or a malfunctioning mechanism (happened on mine) - in that case, it would have to be replaced and you may be better off getting an external drive (less expensive).
And, you said it has 10.8.5 installed? Did the seller give you the original install DVDs? You will need those sooner or later.

I just bought an iMac. It was to come with pages, numbers, and the presentation software (like power point). I can't find these programs.

Have you checked your Purchase and Updates at the app store? You will usually need to accept them and then download/install. If that does not work, you can follow these instructions:

I just bought an IMac today and found on "about this IMac" that it is of late 2013, does anyone knows if 2013 refers to the release or production year, Thanks

I just bought an IMac today and found on "about this IMac" that it is of late 2013.
1. Does anyone knows if 2013 refers to the release or production year?
2. I use an enclosed HD from my old IMac for the set up, upon completion, only my documents and calendar are transferred, emails, Imessages, stickies, notes, music and photos are not. From what I understand EVERYTHING can be transferred, am I right? If I am right, can I re do the set up process again ? And how?
Thanks

On Q2, simply connect the EHD to the new machine and you can drag and drop. If the EHD is a backup HD (Time Machine or a Clone) then you can use Migration Assistant to migrate the data over. Also open the Mac App Store and update the new iMac, 10.1.1 is out of date now. Update it to 10.10.3 and install any other recommended updates. You should check for updates at least once a month and install all recommended updates.

This is a user to user forum. You have to wait for someone to reply to you. Please be patient.
Are you from the US? Do you have a US account? You can try to log into the Japanese store, but you might not be able to. Go into Settings>iTunes & App Stores, Click on your Apple ID, and change locations.

So I just bought an iPhone 5s and Touch ID was working fine until the software update is that a bug ? Because I don't think my home button broke

Have not heard of that but here is what I would do - test after each step to see if the problem is solved
1. Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
2. If that does not work - back up to iTunes and restore to factory settings
3. Check to see if the problem is resolved before restoring from backup

I have just bought an iPad mini and can't seem to transfer one of my apps of my iPhone 5. How do I do this?

I have just bought an iPad mini and can't seem to transfer one of my apps of my iPhone 5. How do I do this?

first time you connect it to the computer you sync the iphone with it should ask if you want to setup the ipad as a new device or restore it with a backup of another ios device
if you say yes the content of tne iphone will be put on the ipad
if you later one wish to do the same thing one can restore it by navigating to the ipad in itunes on the computer and choose to restore it there to the backup of the iphone
if you don't want to restore then you can just mark the apps in itunes you wish to sync to the ipad
if you don't sync with a computer then you can't be charged for an app more then once it's tied to your appleID and any attempt to buy it again will result in a free download
one can also access apps tied to the ios device under purchasees in the app store app

Just bought a Bluetooth headset second hand it comes with a transmitter that plugs into the iPhone but as my phone is a 5 will the Lightning to 30 pin adaptor work?

II've just bought a second hand Bluetooth headset which comes with a separate transmitter that plugs into the base of the phone. However it has a 30 pin connection and as my iphone is 5 I need an adaptor,
MY question is, will the Lightning to 30 pin Apple adaptor (£25.00), do the trick?

Hi biggles83,
Your iPhone 5 has Bluetooth available without using an external transmitter - see its specifications page -
iPhone 5 - Technical Specifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP655
So you can set up the headset using the methods described on this page -

I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.
