IMac Why does iMac show mid 2011 when purchased mid 2012?

Just checked about my mac and surprised to find its stating mid 2011 when it was purchased from UK Apple store July 2012. 
Could anyone explain why this would be?  Thank you

I had a similar situation with Bluewater, Kent.   Apple do not clear old stock on the basis of OS upgrades and I, too, had to accept Tiger upgraded to Leopard.  But like yours, mine has been an excellent machine.   I suppose it doesn't matter too much until you get a major system change and the machine is unable to accept it.

    Why does message show as sent when the user is offline??
    After merging my Facebook and msn, I've been told by my Skype contacts, that whenever I'm offline, and they message me, it shows that I got the message. Just like I'm online.
    This is also happening to my other friends who have merged their accounts ;(....!!!!
    Please help, please! ;(...!!! I'm not hacked, I know, but it's happening even with other people who have merged the ACC....

  • HT204150 Why does iCal show incorrect age when displaying birthdays derived from Addressbook

    Why does iCal display incorrect ages derived from AddressBook entered birthdays?

    Hi PeterWCM, for what it's worth, the Apple help desk in Oz reckons we've uncovered a tech glitch in the software and that they replicated the described faults! But it only happens between specific dates (sometime in early Nov 1974, and runs through to today!)i.e; dates before Nov '74 aren't affected and some dates since!
    We "trouble shooted" by inserting (made-up) dates in Addressbook and then watching when iCal updated. By a process of trila and error we nailed down the start of the problem to 2nd Nov '74!
    Anyhow, they seemed to think there would be a "patch" issued in Jan...?
    It MAY still be linked to timezone probs...not really sure!
    Please let me know if you find a solution?
    Cheers!

  • Why does my iPhone 5 crash when purchasing a game in the app store?

    Hi everyone,
    I have an iPhone 5 model A1429 with 16GB  with iOS version 7.1.2 (11D257).
    I am trying to install the game Lies of Astaroth (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id586902335)
    But after pressing Install and entering my iTunes password, my iPhone 'crashes' (the screen kinda goes green) and restarts.
    I have tried 3 times and the same thing happens.
    Did anyone else have this issue?
    Best;
    Leon

    Does this happen with any other application you try to download from the App store?  If you haven't tested that, pick another app to download and see what happens.
    If the other app downloads fine, then it's not your device, it's the other app.
    Alternate method of installing an app is to download it on your computer via iTunes Store, and then sync to over to your device.

  • Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend  file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
    Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

  • Why does imac G5 eject leopard install disk

    Why does imac G5 eject leopard install disk?  I'm trying to help my father get online to read the newspaper using an iMac G5 1.8 GHz 17".  I've installed a new hard drive and reinstalled software and rus software updates until I've reached 10.4.11 and the lovely "your software is up to date" message.  When I put in the Leopard 10.5.1 Install DVD, it auto ejects within 15 seconds and never gets mounted and never shows on desktop.  When I place the same DVD in my Intel MacBook Pro running 10.6.8, the disk mounts and the install window opens as usual.  Any suggestions on what i'm missing here? thanks

    All I want is all my contacts on my phone and the same on my iMac, but no, that's too much to ask, instead I get everything doubled up on the phone and everything doubled up (triple in some cases) on the iMac, why does it do this? and more importantly how can I stop it? Thanks

    Look under system preferences on the mac at what is be controlled?  Look at Mail, Contacts, Calendars.  How many accounts are managing contacts?  Just the cloud? the cloud and gmail? or cloud, gmail, yahoo, and exchange?  If you have more than one contact account, then you will have different contact lists, if John Smith shows up in more than one of your contact lists, you will have multiple entries.
    Pick a contact list that is your master, (I use iCloud), only turn on contact syncing for it.  The same for your phone.  Spend some time on the iCloud webset (www.icloud.com) and work on your contact list there.  Clean it up, remove duplicates, etc...Changes will auto sync back to all your devices.  Life gets much simplier.
    Just remember, if you sync different contacts lists and a large number of people appear in your different lists, then they will appear as duplicates.

  • When I choose external editor in iPhoto on my iMac it does not recognize Aperture. When I do the same on my laptop it works? Any ideas?

    When I choose external editor in iPhoto on my iMac it does not recognize Aperture. When I do the same on my laptop it works? Any ideas?

    No idea, but Aperture is not an external editor. Like iPhoto, Aperture is a Photo Manager. It's a database. There is no way to round trip a shot from iPhoto to Aperture and back again like you can with Photshop or an image editor.
    Given that Aperture does pretty much everything that iPhoto does - and a whole lot more -  it begs the question: why not just use it to manage your photos?

  • Why when i buy books on my ipad, when i log onto the store it does not show that i have purchased them?

    Why when i buy books on my ipad, when i log onto the store it does not show that i have purchased them?
    how many books and songs were therefore lost when i had to wipe my ipad?
    this is SHOCKING from Apple... this is not in my domain of settings!!!

    In the iBooks application on the Mac, there is a checkbox to sync highlights and notes across devices. 
    I don't see a similar setting in the iBooks app on my iPad.  It may require iBooks on the Mac as a mediator.
    Also:
    Can I highlight text and make notes?
    Yes, iBooks includes built-in Highlight and Note features. Highlight any word or passage of text within a book. You can also create a Note from your highlighted selection. Review your Highlights and Notes by tapping the Table of Contents button and then tapping Bookmarks. Highlights and Notes appear in their own section under Bookmarks.
