Refurbished macbook- will it ship with leopard?

hi all just bought a refurbished macbook (black) 2.16ghz, 160gb , 2gb ram from apple online store in ireland. question is will it ship with leopard?? the item description did not state anything bout the OS. however on ONE of the other refurbished models on the website they state that all refurbished macs ship with leopard.i checked terms and conditions of refurbished models and they say it will ship with whatever OS was native to that model when it came out. (i think in my case it is tiger.. correct me of im wrong). WHAT OS IM I GONNA GET TOMORROW!!! i kinda want leopard and im a student so cant afford to shell out eur114 (student discount)
many thanks in advance!

Yes, it most likely will. Apple refurbished products are great deals. Leopard requires iLife as well, and if you write much iWork`08 is great word processor.

No; iOS 7 is for iOS devices, not Macs.

Will it ship with leopard

guyz...
i've ordered a MAC today...will it ship with the leopard preloaded?

Yes, it should if you bought it direct from Apple. I bought a Mac Pro with Mac OS X Leopard Server about three weeks ago, and it came with Tiger Server preinstalled but included Leopard discs if I wished to upgrade it.

Refurbished MacBook Air from Apple with Leopard - Where's AppleWorks?

I bought a refurbished MacBook Air last month from the Apple Store with Leopard installed. However, I don't see AppleWorks as one of the applications. I know this came with our iMac but do I have to purchase it for the MacBook?

HI,
AppleWorks no longer comes pre-installed with the Mac OS X.

Are refurbs now shipping with Leopard installed?

I sent my brother a refurb iMac for the holidays. He hasn't set it up yet (they did the free overnight shipping, I didn't even expect him to get it yet!) but he said the box, which appeared slightly damaged in transit (one side was opened), only came with the 2 start up disks- no Leopard upgrade disk.
Does anyone know if the refurbs are now shipping with Leopard preinstalled? I ordered this on 12/18, so it's what I'm thinking- otherwise, I'm concerned that the disk may have either fallen out/been taken out. . .
Thanks. (no, he hasn't turned it on yet- I asked him to, but I think he's afraid of it, and is waiting for Tuesday when folks will be able to help him get it set up!)

I had a refurb mini delivered a month ago and it included the "upgrade" Leopard DVD

HT201257 Hi -- I have a late 2011 13" macbook pro that shipped with and runs Lion. Unfortunately, I do not have the install disks with me. Holding down D key does nothing. What can I do?

How can I run the hardware test on a macbook pro that SHIPPED with lion (never had an earlier OS) without access to the install disks? I am away from them and home for several months. Holding down the D key does nothing.

Press "Option" and "D" key together.
"Restart your computer, holding down the “D” key while the computer restarts.After your computer restarts, you should see the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen. If you don’t, Apple Hardware Test may not be available on your computer. You may be able to start Apple Hardware Test from the Internet. Reconnect your computer to the network, and then restart your computer while holding down both the Option and “D” keys."

Is it possible to use a Magsafe L-connector on my late 2008 Macbook which was shipped with Magsafe T-konnector?

Is it possible to use a Magsafe L-connector on my late 2008 Macbook which was shipped with Magsafe T-konnector? I can't see that Apple Store sells Magsafe T...

yes, it is perfectly safe, it can be used without any issues.

Will icloud work with Leopard 10.5?

Will iCloud work with Leopard 10.5 running on a mini?

Hi there, depends what you want. Lon/10.7.x is neeeded for full support on the Mac.
You can view everything in any Broweser, but you can't Sync anything other than setting up an iCloud IMAP account...

From here on out, unless you're dependent on the latest iDevices I'd look elsewhere for solutions, understandably Apple is looking out for Apple, but what I don't understand is how long they can ignore user's needs.

If I buy a new iPad4 from the apple online store will it ship with ios6?

If I buy a new iPad4 from the apple online store will it ship with ios6?
I let a so called "friend" borrow my iPad and the **** went an updated the OS to ios7.
Dispite restoring from a backup on my computer ios7 remains, rendering it usless for work.
If I buy a new iPad from the Apple Online Store will it certainly ship with ios6?
No guesses please.
Many thanks.

I don't believe there is any correlation between the serial number and the version of iOS, but the sales person may be able to tell you when the unit was received into their stock. If it was before September 18th, it certainly should have iOS 6.

When will new Macs (MacBook Pros) be shipped with Lion?

When will newly ordered Macs be shipped with Lion pre-installed?

ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition will not work with leopard

When I installed a new ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition, 256MB; my Dual 2 GHz G5 (June 2004) will not allow me to drive my Apple Cinema Display while running under leopard, (neither 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 with Leopard Graphics Update).
The mac starts up as usual and gets to the white screen with Apple logo -then the progress ring eventually stalls. The mouse pointer becomes visible and can be moved freely around this screen.
I can connect from other macs on the network and navigate files, but screen sharing results in an all black window.
The Radeon 9600 works fine if I start up the mac with the Tiger installation disk.
I have tried every suggestion that I could find on these boards and elsewhere: zapped the pram, reset the SMU, installed older ATI Drivers, etc...
Of course the G5 is far out of warranty. I've been running Leopard since the day it shipped - so that's out of warranty now, and there is little help to be found on the ATI/AMD website. I'm afraid I'll have to return the card before Apple releases another graphics update.
The stock graphics card that came with this mac is the nVIDIA 64MB GeForce FX 5200 - but it's having trouble keeping up with Leopard's demands - my isight barely works, most special effects in iChat and PhotoBooth are unusable, and of course I'm not given the option to use a transparent menu bar,
I am really good at swapping video cards in the G5 now - but I'm so frustrated.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
thanks

Will iMac ship with Lion if I order it today?

There's no "Ships with Lion" on the iMac and MacBook Pro page. Only MacBook Air and Mac mini do, so I wondered if I place an order for a new iMac today, will I get Lion pre-installed?

Yes if you buy directly from Apple. Worst case, you will get a free redeem code.

Will not install with Leopard

I just migrated from an older iMac G4 to a newer iMac 2GHz
Intel Core Duo. To my chagrin I then discovered that Director MX
2004 would not work on an Intel machine. So... I upgraded to
Director 11. After all the hassle of proving (once again) that I am
an academic, I received the confirmation and link so that I could
download and install the new version. Alas...! When I run the
installer, it says: "This software cannot be installed because the
file system of the OS volume is not supported." WHAT? Director 11
won't install on Mac OS 10.5.2 (Leopard), but it will on Win-doze
Vista???
HELP! I need Director! It is the prime piece of software that
I use to create programs for my classes!

SujaiS: I found the problem! My hard disk was formatted
"journaled (case-sensitive)". After searching through lots of
discussions and support files, I learned that apparently several
Adobe applications will not run with that format.
I therefore had to boot from my Leopard install disk, erase
and reformat the hard disk as only "journaled' (NOT
"case-sensitive"), reinstall Leopard, then restore the contents of
the hard drive from my Time Machine backup. I have since managed to
install Director 11 just fine. It has shown some odd bugs, however.
For example, a cast member with text (using an embedded font) now
shows an exclamation mark on a following line... but there IS no
exclamation mark to delete, let alone a following line! Weird! I
tried changing to another embedded font, and the program crashed.
Hmmmm.
At any rate, I would suggest that Adobe needs to specify for
Director 11, under Mac system requirements, that "case-sensitive"
formatted hard disks will NOT work. That is a simple warning to
include. Adobe is obviously aware of that incompatibility, since it
mentions it under forums and technical issues for other programs.
Shouldn't they list that system requirement from the get-go?
Thanks for your suggestions!

Will Time Machine with Leopard Sync With New Hard Drive and Snow Leopard?

My computer is a 20" iMac that I bought in late 2008. The hard drive had trouble so Apple repaired with disk utility. Week later, more trouble so they did full hard drive erase. Data was backed up on Time Machine, 500GB also bought in 2008. After full hard drive erase, and reinstall of basic software, upon reboot, computer would power on then immediately off. It doesn't get past white screen. They advised a new hard drive install is needed.
A computer friend can install a hard drive just fine for me. However, I do not have the Leopard install disc. He could do it with Snow Leopard but I am scared. I'm afraid because my Time Machine last backup was with Leopard, not snow Leopard. I do not have my application discs with me, they are in storage in another state. Thus, if upon adding replacing hard drive and installing Snow Leopard my computer won't be able to sync FILES and APPLICATIONS from Time Machine because its on Leopard I will have a problem.
How can I either 1)Get a Leopard install disc and do that with the new hard drive install OR 2)make sure that a Snow Leopard install with new hard drive won't prevent my Time Machine from being able to install the saved FILES and APPLICATIONS if I don't have original APPLICATION (ie Aperture, Photoshop) with me? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
That Mac should have come with Leopard. If so, call AppleCare. They'll send you replacement discs for a nominal fee.
Once this is sorted out, make a 8-10 GB partition on an external HD or your internal HD, and use the Restore tab of Disk Utility to copy the Install disc to that partition. Then you can boot and run from it instead of the physical disc. It will boot and run much faster, too.
He could do it with Snow Leopard but I am scared.
If he does, and doesn't provide a retail Snow Leopard disc, you must buy one ($29). It's a violation of the license to share software, and you'll need a SL disc to do things like restore a Snow Leopard backup, or the Snow Leopard Apple apps, or repair the internal HD.
Your best bet is to stay with Leopard, at least until you have access to your 3rd-party software discs.
What you can do, however, is borrow his Snow Leopard Install disc (assuming it's a white Retail disc, not a gray one that came with his Mac), and use it to do a full system restore from your backups. That's not a violation of the license, since you don't install or use OSX from that disc; you just use the Installer utility on it to restore the Leopard OSX and all your data from your backups.
See #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum), for details.
