I ordered my Imac yesterday...
and today i checked my order status and it says it has shipped.
so just wondering how long it will take???
Shorter than you expect, longer than you'd like
Last Wednesday afternoon one of my colleagues ordered a new iMac & iPod. The iPod arrived Friday morning and the computer arrived Friday afternoon. Ironically, one of my students placed an order at about the same time and her iPod arrived Friday but the computer arrived Tuesday morning.

how can I use microsoft word, power point and those apps in my new iMac ? i bought this iMac yesterday so am new on tho and i would like to know
If you absolutely must have the Microsoft applications, you can purchase and download them from http://microsoft.com/mac.
Free software suites LibreOffice and OpenOffice offer similar functionality (word processing and spreadsheets).
Or you could do worse than look at Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote, which should already be installed in your Mac and can export to Microsoft formats if need be.

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?
You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.

How to deal with a 100 Store Error:
Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here;
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:
~/Library/Preferences/
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
com.apple.storeagent.pllist
Now here:
~/Library/Cookies
Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store. -
I just got a new iMac yesterday. I connected my Itouch and it would appear I have lost all my songs! Can anyone help? This is my first Mac and I am very intimidated by it.I
How did you get your songs onto your iPod Touch?
If purchase directly from iTunes you can download them again.
If your iPod is synced to iTunes on a Windows PC, then, sync your iPod to that computer.
If this is your first Mac, are you migrating from a Windows PC?

Can no longer order an iMac with wireless KB and mouse?
Hi,
I just figure out that when someone try to order the iMac, the only keyboard choice is wired. I think this disapear at the same time the wireless mighty mouse arrived.
Am I wrong?
ThanksHi,
I had this problem. The stores had them in a package with the wirelesss
keyboard and mouse but they were not available on-line. I had to order on-line to get some upgrades but could not have the wireless package...Catch 22.
So when I called in my order I complained that I could not effectively get what I wanted and without much pressure I was offered a discount if I bought the wireless keyboard and mouse as extra. They knocked off £50 sterling (I'm in the UK) from the total cost. So, for about £40 more (which was the extra cost of the wireless pack in the store) I got what I wanted. With the added bonus of having a spare wired mouse and keyboard which are currently still all wrapped up in their box.
I only placed my order on the 17th and receieved it last Friday so it should be a current deal. I hope it is not too late to help you out.
Cheers.

I retorde my imac yesterday and bluetooth is not available anymore, any advice?
I restored my Imac yesterday and now can't use bluetooth anymore...it isn't not available and disappeared from menu prefrencessystem. Any advice?
You don't have an iMac PPC if it is running 10.9.1. PPC refers to PowerPC, which was the CPU architecture for pre-2006 Macs.
To re-enable Bluetooth preference, it is in Hard drive -> System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Prefpanes -> Bluetooth.prefpane. Double click it, and it should appear in your System Preferences.
The Bluetooth administrative utility is also found in Applications -> Utilities, and that may need to be run. -
I have an iPhone in my name and my wife has an iPad in her name. We have just ordered an iMac and wondered which account we should use to get the best out of all the devices? Can we use both accounts in iCloud?
Yes you can. However, it is better to use one person's account most of the time for purchases in the Mac App Store and iTunes since you can share purchases, such as songs, among various devices using the SAME account. You Cannot share purchases among different accounts, though. So make one of your accounts the main "purchasing" account so you can share purchases.
Hope this helps -
As it says I ordered my ipad yesterday and got accepted for credit through barclays I have read and digitally signed my agreement but haven't heard any more from Apple about the order being processed. Just looking to see how long it took with other people ?
I ordered a refurbished iPad 4 a few weeks ago and I did not get the email shipping notice until the next day, ie. about 24 hours after placing the order. I received it 7 days exactly from the day I ordered it.

I just bought an iMac yesterday. I'm trying to transfer my iTunes purchases
I haven't had a Mac since I was about 6 years old. I just bought a Mac yesterday because our PC bit the dust and I needed something quickly for an art project that is due next week. I want to upload my music to the computer, and I'm having a problem.
I deauthorized all 5 of the other computers that my iTunes account was set up on, and most of my iTunes purchases were transferred. However, all of my most recent purchases begin to upload, but then this box pops that says: "Attempting to copy to the disk 'Macintosh HD' failed. An unknown error occurred (-39)."
Like I said, I'm still not entirely comfortable with my new Mac, it was just out of the box yesterday and I don't understand how everything work with it. So what exactly does this message mean, and how can I get my music on the iMac computer?unfortunately from the UK you can not call Apple support
Last time I was there, UK still had telephones. Has there been been some sort of event that has rendered telephones obsolete?

I want to buy an iMac as a Christmas gift this year and wondered if it may be possible to specifically order one with Snow Leopard? By then I imagine all machines available for sale are likely to have Lion pre-loaded, hence my question.
If I could buy one now, I would, as there are many around still with Snow Leopard - but sadly I can't manage it just at the moment.
Thanks
RossThanks folks, I realise this is just a user forum of course, I was just wondering if anyone had previous experience with buying a Mac with an older system on it at a time of changeover like this. A friend has just bought a new one from an Apple store this week with Snow Leopard on it - not surprising given the newness of Lion, but I was curious to know if anyone had experience with being given a choice during a system upgrade.
And who knows...maybe Apple do look in at the forums to see what people are asking????
Thanks

Just ordered new iMac do I still need a modem/router for Internet access
Just converted to apple,ordered a new IMAC but little confused on Internet access.
does the extreme still need a modem/router,just a little confused after reading all the comments about poor connections etc.
Old windows soldier sorry if a little vague .The AirPort Extreme is a router, but it is not a modem. You still need your existing cable or DSL modem. That device is usually supplied by your ISP and may or may not include the functions of a router.

I ordered a new slim-edged iMac 27" on Dec 11, 2012. Recently it's still in process; however, today I just realized Apple Store has charged the amount on my credit card already. Does it mean my order will be shipped in next 2 business days? Thank you...
It's up to you. I would give it a couple of days to see if you get a "Shipment Notification" email
You should of seen the forum for the new iPod touch it was literally 100's of pages long -
Ordered a T440p yesterday - still no invoice?
Hi all,
yesterday, I ordered a T440p through the lenovo.de website. Since a company will pay for the laptp, I need an official invoice from Lenovo for the company so they can start the payment-process.
My order is listed on www.findmyorder.com after I login, but there's no official invoice-download. The website says (my translation): "You can download your invoice as a pdf-document - with an official electronic signature - in a few hours."
I ordered more than 24 hours ago - and there's still no invoice-download How long will it take to generate the invoice?
Thanks in advance!
ArcxHi,
I have exactly the same problem. My employer also wants to see the invoice first.
Given that your question is a while back, how long did you wait for it?
