I want to buy new iMac, but need to sell old one.
About following the info.
How much can sell and where is good for sell?
Processor 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7
Total Number of Cores: 4
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
1TB harddisk
Warranty to 02/Aug/2013
Thank you for your help.

When you sell your iMac, please remember that if you bought Mountain Lion upgrade at the app store, the license is not transferable and you need to erase the drive and reinstall the original system (which was most likely Snow Leopard?). If you don't do that, the buyer can never reinstall Mountain Lion because the license is tied to your Apple ID forever.

Want to buy new IMac but which one?

Hi guys,
Firstly I want to say that I do not own a Mac yet but am looking to buy one, I have very limited experience with them and am not sure where to start I also only use computers for general stuff like internet browsing watching a movie or 2 and sometimes editing videos, I don't play any games either. I am also not really up with the ins and outs of computers so bear with me.
I'm looking at getting an IMac 2.66 or 2.8GHz but I have a few questions.
Would you suggest that I buy the 2.66 as it looks like the same unit except for the processor speed and save some money for some more memory? Just on that I would probably buy the memory seperate and not get it upgraded when buying the IMac right? Because of the cost I could get it much cheaper elsewhere yes?!
A question about internet & Broadband use, I live in Darwin Australia and am using Bigpond Broadband ADSL 20000/512kbps I am not sure what I need to do to hook up an IMac, do I just use a ethernet cable as per PC do I need any other hardware for either model 2.66 or 2.8GHz?
I guess that's it for now, I hope you can help me, I'm sure you can.
Anything else you can tell me will be helpful as I'm keen to get one and get started.
Thanks

Hi BB4L -
I'm from the UK so not sure if I can help re the broadband question but I'll try my best. I use the 20inch 2.66GHz iMac at work and whilst the screen isn't amazing, it's a great, fast machine and would suit your needs perfectly.
You're right, you'd notice hardly any benefit between the 2.66 and 2.8 machines. They have the same HD, RAM and graphics card. You'd be better off spending the extra cash on maxing out your RAM to 4GB - this will give you a more significant speed increase. And don't use Apple to upgrade your RAM, buy it from somewhere cheaper and install it yourself - it's extremely simple. The instructions are [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1760]. A good choice of RAM is [here|http://www.crucial.com> although I'm not sure whether there's an Australian outlet. I just found [this|http://www.buymac.com.au/store/computer-addons/mac-memory-upgrades/imac/i mac-intel-core2duo-penryn] site but obviously have never used them so couldn't say if they're good or not.
In terms of broadband, if you already have a modem/router box which came with your broadband then you can hook it up with an ethernet cable or connect wirelessly if the box is a wireless modem/router.
Hope this helps.

I want to buy an imac but do I have to buy a mac pro or is everything bult into the imac?

I want to buy an imac but do I have to buy a mac pro or is everything built into the imac?

The MacPro is a tower aimed at professional users. The display is sold separately. The iMac is an all-in-one aimed at consumers (and, well professionals, actually). The computer is built into the same housing that holds the display, optical drive and hard drive. It includes a keyboard and mouse (or trackpad).

How can tell the script I want to save unsaved files but not replace the old one?

Hi everyone
I got this script
var docs = app.documents;
for (var i = docs.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    if (docs[i].saved == false) {
        docs[i].save(new File(“~/Desktop/Document.indd”));
        docs[i].close();
    else {
        docs[i].close(SaveOptions.YES);
close and save files
but if I have two or more files, I want to save files like Doc1, Doc2...
the new file will never replace the old one
Can some one tell me how can I do that?
Thanks
Regard
Teetan

Hi,
Change the 4th line like below:
        docs[i].save(new File("~/Desktop/Doc" + (i+1) + ".indd"));

In 2008, 2009, 2010, I bought numerous seasons of a lot of TV seasons. I backed them up on a WD Passport, then bought a new iMac and had my old one totally cleaned and re-installed the OS. Is there a way to recoup these purchases! I probably have close to $3000 invested in these.

Thank you!
I can't tell you how terrified I was when deleting the superfluous account...but it went just swimmingly!

External Drive (OWC AL PRO) won't mount on on new iMac but mounts on my old macs HELP!

I have an OWP Mecury Elite AL PRO 4 TB external hard drive that mounts up on my friend's iMac (running snow leopard) and on my friend's macbook pro using firewire 800...
I just purchased a new iMac that came shipped with Lion. It will not mount up using firewire 800. My iMac doesn't have firewire 400 ports so I am unable to test it that way. Any suggestions? I called OWC and they had no solutions for me....

You've probably already tried this but have you checked this box in Finder Prefs?

Unable to install new version of app without deleting old one first

When I get a new version of an app from my developers (with ad-hoc provisioning), if I just drag it to iTunes and then try to sync with my phone, the app does not make it over. Itunes/iphone dont realize that the new version needs to be installed. I am forced to delete the app from the phone first, and THEN doing the sync. This works, but of course this method loses all the the app data each time.
Is it possible to upgrade an iphone app in-place while preserving the old data? If so, how?
Also, I find that I have to delete the app from itunes as well before dragging the new version in . Otherwise the old version gets installed again on the phone.
Thanks in advance
Jay

This may be something unique with the ad-hoc provisioning used by your developers since the same is not required when installing an app update via the iTunes app store.

I have a new pc but have dupliates on old one, is there a way when i install itunes again to only have one track

hello, i have a new windows pc, and on my old itunes i have alot of dupilates. Is it possible for itunes to put just one track rather than having o go through my libery as i have 90000 songs ?
Thank you
chilledphil

Are these songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? If there are iTunes purchases, delete them from your main iTunes library and redownload them again at no cost via iCloud.

Migrating user data to new iMac, but need to maintain some information on the new computer.

Hi,
I'd appreciate some advice on setting up a new, actually used, iMac. I purchased a year-old iMac from a guy who left several apps and some music on the drive. Should I just use the Migration Assistant as I ordinarily would, or do I need to take some action to ensure that the info on this new computer is maintained? If used normally, will the Migration Asst. integrate the music the seller left for me into my iTune library, will it keep those files discrete from the files already in my library, or is it possible that it will toss them out?
Thanks,
spreldog

I HIGHLY recommend you format the drive and reinstall the OS before you enter ANY of your info on it.
Then use Migration Assistant to get your info from your old computer to new computer.

How do you create a new iMovie but not erase the old one?

I've been working on this iMovie for fun and I got an assignment to make a movie, but I don't want to delete my old movie. What do I do?

You don't have to remove your project. Just make a new project. They'll both be stored in the iMovie Ptojects folder and can both be accessed from the project library in iMovie. Perhaps you mean something else and I'm not understanding the question.

I was looking through itunes help and saw where you could create a new library. I did so, but cannot find my old one. Where is it? How do I get it back?

I was looking through itunes Help and asw where you could create a new a new library. I did but cannot see or find my old library.
All my music is missing. Where is it? How do I get it back?

Generally your library will be in your music folder in an iTunes folder, more specifically a library.itl file. If it isn't there then for some reason it has disappeared and can be restored from the backup you make of your computer.

PS CS6 will not open new files, but will re-open old ones

For no apparent reason, and all of a sudden, PS CS6 on this PC will not open any previously unopened psd files. It will open them if I've opened them before. Running win7, have all the latest drivers, versions, etc, including the latest video drivers. Same files will open on my laptop with CS6 no problem. Also files open in CS5 no problem. I did the ctrl+shift+alt deal to reset PS, no help. Any ideas other than reinstall the suite? Is there a way to just reinstall PS?
Thanks,
Ray

The system info follows. The only change I've made was switching the gpu mode from "advanced" to "normal". It functions this way, but not when set to advanced.

Considering buying New Imac

Considering buying New Imac but have some applications I won't be able to use. Want to know how easy is it to use boot camp and partion drive to use windows 7. Has anyone done this and how easy is it to do? One other question. With lion coming soon will boot camp be part of it?

Lion will be out next month.
Boot camp is as simple as running the bootcamp config program that will partiion the drive and reboot. At that point you will install windows. It is a very easy process.
Lion will also have bootcamp.

Thinking of buying a new imac, but....

Hi peeps,
I've got a bit of a predicament on my hands. I've made a decision that I'm going to by a new imac because I need it for uni and stuff. But I start in September and need it before then for obvious reasons, the other problem is that Leopard is scheduled for October if I'm not mistaken.
A mate told me that I could buy an imac something like 3 months before hand and get the upgrade for leopard free? I just want to confirm that because that would solve it! The only problem with buying like that, they could postpone it more.
But anyways, can anybody confirm that?
Cheers,
Will.

Will..first...Welcome to Apple Discussions..
No one here can answer that since we are all just end users without special knowledge of Apple's plans...
Besides it would be speculation and the 'Terms of Use' that we all had to agree to to post here would be violated

Ok, so i bought a imac 27 about 4 months ago, and now they release a new one! ****... So my question is, should I sell this one (which by the way is the i5 2.8 with 1 gb 5750 and 4gb ram) and buy the new imac 27 i5,or keep the one i have and buy more ram

I mostly use my computer for photoshop cs5 and illustrator cs5 for graphics out put as well as surfing the web and music.
Please give me you thoughts on what I should do!! Thanks lot!

The new iMac is about 25% or so faster than your current iMac(comparable model would be the 3.1ghz version). There are a couple of things that you will benefit from such as the dual Thunderbolt/Mini Display ports/ which may help with multitasking. The video card in the new iMac again the comparable model being the 3.1ghz is a lotttttttt better than the current one that you have. So thinking of the long run those few things may be beneficial for you to upgrade(but it depends on what is important to you).
I had the 2.93ghz i7 version that I just bought in March this year and I turned around and sold it about a week before the new iMac's were announced. I got about $1600 for it, yeah I took a loss but to me it was worth it because my new iMac performs that much better. Now keep in mind I went from i7 to i7...3.4ghz i7 with the 2gb video card. Now I have dual thuderbolt/mini display ports. I have noticed significant gains in my video editing and also in my gaming. So to me it was definitely worth the upgrade!
One last thing, I would not have sold my 2.93 i7 and then bought the 3.1ghz i5, the big reason is because HT(hyper threading), it's only on the i7 model(3.4ghz)... If you take a look at some of the bench marks on engadget, maclife, macrumors, macworld, ****Barefeats.com(they really get into benchmarking)*** you will see charts that will help you make a better decision.
In closing I would say look into it, if you can get a good price out of your current iMac to put toward a new iMac then do it. Like others have mentioned to you, tech changes and Apple will change the tech in these machines next year or do a speed bump later this year or so. One last thing if you go from the 2.8 i5 up to the 3.4 i7, you would definitely see the difference (HT is a must especially for programs that utilize it. You can go to my youtube channel(mob1278) and take a look at my geekbench results.... my 2.93 i7 scored around 10500-11000(8gb ram)...my 3.4 i7 scores from 12700-13000 with 4gb ram....so yeah as you can see big difference. Basically the 3.4 i7 would perform similar or just under a 2.4ghz 8core 2010 Mac Pro which runs you about $3500 with no monitor.... it's your money spend it how you want....and Lion is only going to push it even more when it is released!

In Hongkong. I want to buy new iMac, But need to sell old one first. Where is good for sell??
