Imac 2007 and bluetooth setup

Hi,
I just bought a pre-owned imac 2007. The computer is rebooted/re-installed and I am now sitting with the welcome screen before me. Is there a way to pair the bluetooth keyboard and mouse at this stage or do I need a USD set to finalize the setup?
Thanks,
Emil

OS X Mavericks has got the same requirements as Mountain Lion. Just open System Information or System Profiler app (in /Applications/Utilities) and check your model identifier. If it's iMac7,1 or a higher number, your computer is compatible.
We don't know anything more about OS X Mavericks, so you will have to wait until the final version is released to know if your computer will work properly. Note that this version includes a huge number of performance improvements and a better memory management, apart from OpenGL 4 compatibility and more. See > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview

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.

Imac 2007 and Windows 8

Hello
I have an IMac mid 2007. I have installed Windows 7 via bootcamp. The Mac OS is Mountain Lion. I then upgraded the windows to Windows 8. Everything worked fine at first but now the Boot Camp panel stoped working. I cannot download the latest boot camp because it is for later Imacs. The only version I can get is 4.0. Has anyone expirenced this? The only other issue I can find is that the Bluetooth keyboard states that it is offline.

Any word on an answer for this? Windows 8 is happily running on my 2007 iMac (the MacOS is Mountain Lion). Come on, Apple, it probably wouldn't take that much more effort to add the needed software support. I see no reason to junk an otherwise perfectly operating iMac.

IMac G4 and Bluetooth

Is the iMac G4 compatible with a Logitech Cordless NB Mouse (Apple)?
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Logitech-Cordless-NB-Mouse-Apple/15085068

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Most iMac G4s didn't have Bluetooth built-in, you can check in  > About This Mac > More Info... > Bluetooth.
If it isn't built in then almost any cheap USB Bluetooth dongle (about $10 - here's one) will add Bluetooth to your Mac (no extra drivers needed). Personally I prefer none-Bluetooth wireless mice, you have to use a different USB dongle but the speed of response (particularly waking from sleeping) is far better in my experience.
I recently went for a MS Wireless Optical 2000 Mouse for £4, I see Walmart do the same mouse for $16 with a keyboard:

Is anyone else having frequent crashing with iphoto 11 while editing photos? We have 2 imacs (2007) and 1 Macbook pro (2010) and all three exhibit the same spinning rainbow wheel and crash after 3-7 edits.

all macs are running 10.6.7
all have 4gb ram
I saw some posts about the early intel nvidia issues, but the fix mentioned was 10.6.7 which we already have.
same library worked perfectly before iphoto 11.

I have OsX 10.6.8, and imac 2007-08, and enough disk space to download yosemite but still Apple tells something is wrong and generates a list of maybes but not a specific reason. Any ides as to how to pin point the problem of the upgrade?

Want to upgrade from 10.6.8 to yosemite and I have a imac 2007, and enough disk space. but when trying to download, I get a "I can't" due to a list of possible issues, but how to isolate the problem?
Thanks,

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.
If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again. You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, I recommend you to reset the SMC, just in case it's a settings problem > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If it doesn't work, and as an external display doesn't work, I suspect that the graphic card is damaged. In this case, there's not too much you can do, apart from taking the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller and get the computer repaired. Note that the whole logic board has to be replaced because the graphic card is soldered, so it will be an expensive repair. You should consider the option of get a new PC or Mac

I have a rather old iMac 20" (mid 2007) and I want to upgrade the Hard drive. How do I change it? How do I transfer all my applications? May I just copy the old hd into the new one? Thanks.

I have a rather old iMac 20" (mid 2007) and I want to upgrade the Hard drive. How do I change it? How do I transfer all my applications? May I just copy the old hd into the new one? Thanks.

There are many online tutorials on how to change out the HD on a mid 2007 iMac. One of the originals is from 2007 and is Upgrade your iMac 20" or iMac 24" aluminum (mid 2007) to 1TB Hard Drive and 4 GB RAM - DIY Guide. As far as migrating your system Apple helps out with that in Setup Assistant which automatically starts when you turn on a new Mac for the first time. After you have installed the new HD you will have to format the new HD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then you will have to install OS X. The first time you turn it on Setup Assistant will start. Follow the directions and you will be fine. In order to restore your information you will need to backup what is on the current internal HD first. I'd recommend using Time Machine (Assuming you are using Leopard or later) AND also creating a bootable clone using either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
Please complete your profile so at the very least we know what version of OS X your machine has installed.

We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac. Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices. Have already tried restarting everything. Any other suggestions?

Apple Aluminium Wireless Keyboard - Bluetooth setup sees the keyboard but then green light flashes and it won't pair

I am desperately hoping someone can help me out here...
I have a 1st generation aluminium Apple Wireless Keyboard — the one that needs three batteries, as opposed to two — and it refuses to pair with any of my three Macs.
I was originally using it — for a few years — on an old G4 Mac Mini running Tiger then later on, Leopard.
I recently sold the Mini but in the days leading up to the sale some strange things were happening with the keyboard ...the number '7' key became non-responsive 90% of the time and the Keyboard Viewer app showed it as being constantly pressed down. Every other key was working 100% ok.
Fast forward a few days after the sale of my Mini: Now when I try to connect the keyboard to any of my other Macs, the Bluetooth Setup sees the keyboard no problem at all but when I click 'Continue' to go the the pairing stage, the process just keeps failing!
Whenever I turn my keyboard on I get the expected solid green light for two or three seconds, but after that the keyboard's green light keeps repeatedly blinking until I turn the keyboard off again.
I did notice that the Bluetooth Setup will only ever see the keyboard in those first few seconds when the light is a solid green ...if I wait until the lights starts blinking and then start up the Bluetooth Setup, it does not see the keyboard at all.
If anyone can shed any light on this, I would be enternally grateful!!!! ...especially as I was recently made redundant — that's 'Laid-off' for any Americans reading this! — and I would rather not have to buy yet another expensive Apple keyboard when I'm jobless and really should not have to!!!
I read about a lot of people who's Macs sinply don't see their keyboard, but it's extra frustrating for me as my Macs do see the keyboard but won't bloody well pair with it!
Thanks again to anyone taking the time to read this!

The keyboard and mouse should have come from the factory already paired to the Mac. But if it didn't see this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809

Is iCloud as good to back up files when an iMac 2007 model does not have an external hard drive is this enough to find files and apps at another time

I have given my iMac 2007 model running mountain lion OSX 10.8.3 to a friend and she doesn't have an external hard drive to back up would using iCloud be as good to back up files pictures etc and can I find them again if lost please.

These are the iCloud storage options: http://www.apple.com/icloud/includes/lightbox-storage.html
Also bear in mind that:
1. restoring data over icloud takes time
2. iCloud is not designed as a replacement to Time Machine.
