I want to buy a 21.5" new imac shortly. Will I be able to have a free update of the operating system to OS 10.9 when it arrives later this month?

Unfortunately there is no one here that can give you an answer; we are just users like yourself.
But based on past experience it has been known for free upgrades to be offered ... but not before the new OS is formally announced.   There have been several references of late to the imminent launch of Mavericks.  I think you can do no more than wait for the announcement.

  • I just purchased a new iMac. Will mountain lion be offered as a free update?

    I purchased a new iMac on Monday. Will the new OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) be offered as a free update for people who just purchased a new Mac?

    Almost certainly not, since Moutain Lion won't make an appearance until this summer (at least 4 months off) and Apple historically has offered free OS updates to purchasers of new Macs within 1 month of a new major OS release.
    Don't worry about it, though. The upgrade to Mountain Lion through the Mac App Store will most likely be a simply $30, which is very small for a full OS version bump.

    I want to buy my 2 children a iPad each, will they be able to share apps, music etc if they both have different accounts?

    Only if you have one iTunes account on one computer and then they sync their iPad to that same computer. Make sure that each iPad is named different. And then each can share the same apps or not share as they wish.

    After using "migration assistant" from my old iMac to my new iMac, some tools stick while using Photoshop CS 6 Extended. My current operation system is 10.10 Yosemite. I was wondering if UN installing then RE installing CS 6 might solve the problem. If this is recommended, I would need complete instructions on doing this. I have there serial number for the product.

    using migration assistant is problematic.
    at this point yes, you should uninstall everything migrated, clean and then reinstall properly using the installation files.

  • If I buy a new MacBook Pro, will I be able to download Numbers free on my existing iMac?

    I'm thinking about purchasing a new Macbook Pro Retina and I've heard that Numbers, Pages and Keynote are included free on new machines. I just wanted to know if this in the process would allow me to download those same applications on my iMac free of charge.

    Yes, once you have downloaded the iWorks apps on your new Mac they will be in your Purchases list and available to download on any other Mac that you own or have in your control.

  • I want to erase everything on the hard drive and have snow leopard which is the operating system now left

    i just brought a laptop on ebay with snow leopard on it and alot of programs i dont want. i want to erase everthing and end up with the snow leopard amd i can buy ilife which i want.

    Erase and Install Snow Leopard
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting is complete quit DU and complete the Snow Leopard installation.

  • I recently upgraded my old powerbook to an iMac.  I've dumped the files of my backup drive into the new iMac. Is there a way to have access to all the files (new and old computers) when logged on as the same user vs. logging in and out to access each?

    I am new to posting to this support community but have often referred to it for answers.  So thank you all who've contributed; you've been a great help!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

    Hi, I want to buy Adobe Connect for 25 and maybe more attendees by one host (teacher), but I cant find the price of this set up?
    Can anybody help me pls?

    Hm, it seems the new website has obscured the option for purchasing the smaller monthly accounts. You can purchase it here. Adobe Connect | Meetings.
    If you need more than the 25 per meeting limit, you can reach out to a reseller of your choice that covers your area, Adobe Connect | Strategic Partners.

  • I have zero out all data on my imac, as i brought it second hand and the disk the guy supplied dont seem capatable with my imac to install the operating system again so it is frozen at the grey start up screen. show i buy a new snow leopard disc fromapple

    i have zero out all data on my imac, as i brought it second hand and the disk the guy supplied dont seem capatable with my imac to install the operating system again so it is frozen at the grey start up screen. should i buy a new snow leopard disc from apple and install that as my new operating system. please help as had the computer a month now and still cant use it yet.

    You can call AppleCare and request a replacement set of the original DVD's that shipped with the computer for a nominal charge. You will need the serial number (look on the bottom of the stand) and a credit card. Click the AppleCare Contact Info link. Without knowing which iMac you have it's very difficult to say if a new SL disc would work or not.

  • I own a copy of Aperture. my hard drive crashed and i want to load aperture onto my new imac. how do i do it?

    I own a copy of Aperture. my hard drive crashed and I want to reoad aperture onto my new imac. how do i do it?

    Depends on how you bought Aperture to begin with..
    If you bought it from the Mac App Store simply log in to the MAS using the same Apple ID you used to buy it and download it
    If you bought Aperture on DVD you will need to install from the DVD using the serial number you received with the DVD package.
    If you bought Aperture through a digital download prior to the MAS, say a trial version you upgraded, things get a bit more complicated. You will need to install from the original DMG package file you downloaded and use the serial number Apple set you went you purchased it.

  • I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

    Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone.
    The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
    Any guidance? Thanks.

    The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.
