Should my IMac have come with backup software CDs?

I took delivery of my I-Mac last week and, although there is a lot to learn, I love it. I just realised that it never came with any backup CDs. Should I have received these?

No. The quote below from http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/imac shows what it should come with.

What’s in the box
iMac

A micro USB? Is this something I can get at any electronics store or should have come with the Apple TV?

Yes, you can find it at any electronics store or online. You may even have one lying around as many devices use it.

You will need Snow Leopard to install Lion unless you buy it on the USB drive from the Apple Store. You may wish to think about buying a Snow Leopard disc in case you wish, like some others, to return to Snow Leopard if Lion is not suitable for you. I personally saw the advantage of paying for SL and downloading Lion which was about the same cost as just buying the Lion USB installer.
Good Luck

Do the iMac's come with a bundled package of software?

If I bought 26 computers for a lab would I need to buy 26 microsoft office packages all separately? Do the computers come with security software?

You would need twenty-six licenses for Microsoft Office, yes. You would need to talk to Microsoft about any sort of volume or site license. To see what comes bundled with an iMac, look here:
http://www.apple.com/imac/built-in-apps/
Most people feel that security software is not necessary on a Mac, but in a lab you might want to run it since a Mac could be used to forward Windows malware. VirusBarrier Express, free from the App Store, appears to be a good option, from testing reports I've seen (thanks to Thomas Reed for the information),
If you are going to also be running Windows on your systems, either via BootCamp, Parallels Workstation or another solution, then that copy of Windows is subject to all the myriad exploits common to the Windows world, so you need to take full precautions, including running both antivirus and antispyware software.

Audition CC not showing up ANY VSTs.. even the ones that come with the Software.

Trying to use Audition to it's "fullest" and NOTHING is showing up in the Audio Plug-In Manager, VST or VST 3 fly out panels. I've scanned several folders with no success. I've also tried various suggestions, like installing jbridge, etc. and others mentioned online but nothing has worked. Any feedback on this? Thanks!

If you have this file:
"C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\7.0\AudioPluginManagerSettings.xml "
Can you please send a copy of it to [email protected]?
Secondly, can you post a screenshot of what your audio plug-in manager window looks like. I'd like to see the folders you're scanning.
Thirdly, what happens when you try add an effect that comes with the software:
a) Effects > Amplitude and Compression > Amplify...
b) Effects > Amplitude and Compression > DeEsser...

I disagree with that. If you are behind a router there is no need for a computer firewall. All they seem to do is make it harder to network the computer with others. There is a reason it is turned off by default, IE it is not needed. But it is there for the paranoid among us.

Will a new iPhone 4 come with new software installed?

I just ordered a new iPhone 4. Not a 4S. Will it come with updated software? Or will I have to update it myself?

Yes... it will come with either 5.01 or 5.1 installed... most likely 5.1 as it's been out for several weeks.
Apple does not have huge warehouses of merchandise just sitting around, it's likely the new iPhone 4 you just purchased came off of a cargo ship or out of a cargo plane within the last month directly from the factory.

Does an IMAC desktop come with wi fi router built in or do I need to purchase and connect one?

Does an IMAC desktop come with wi fi router built in or should this be purchased separately? My brother recently bought a new IPAD mini and we don't know how to connect it to wi fi. He has a fairly new IMAC desktop.

No. It comes with a Wi-Fi card for connecting to a router. First, you need Internet service in your household either from cable or DSL. The provider installs a modem or a modem/router. In the case of the former you need to provide the router. In the case of the latter you do not. But a router is needed to create a wireless network in your home.

Something called "television fanatic plugin" which seems to have come with the Safari upgrade is preventing me from opening Safari. Help

Something called "television fanatic plugin" which seems to have come with the upgrade to Safari 5.1 is preventing me from opening Safari. I cannot find it on my computer. What do I have to do to eliminate it and be able to open Safari?

If the software doesn't have an uninstall feature, quit Safari and try manually removing the third-party add-on files. These files are usually installed in one or more of the following locations:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library.

Didn't AppleCare used to come with diagnostic software?

I believe AppleCare used to to come with diagnostic software. I believe it was TechTools by MicroMat, am I correct? Why did they stop including it?
Is it good software and worth buying & having a copy?

Is TechTool Pro worth the extra cost?
Here's the macupdate.com download page for TextTool Pro as well as DiskWarrior and Drive Genius:
TechTool Pro
DiskWarrior
Drive Genius
I'm giving you those links because macupdate shows reviews from users of this stuff. Of these three (and apparently all the same price) I would recommend DW ofer TTP. I'm "neutral" on DG. But read the reviews for yourself. Another place for reviews is to check Amazon.
I view these utiilities as file system utilities more or less in the same category as Disk Utility. The Apple Hardware Test can be used, as its title suggests, for attempting to validate your hardware (e.g., ram).

How do I get DVD for the Windows 7 that should have come with my new laptop please

This is my first message here so please bear with me. I have just bought a new Lenovo Essentials B570 laptop which has come with Windows 7 pre-installed. Previously I used to buy Dell laptops which used to come with OS Re-installation DVDs which check to see if they are being installed on the hardware it was bought for but would allow us to install the OS on a new hard disk if the original one crashed. Now Lenovo seems to be using a very complicated method to allow buyer's to re-install the OS - they are expected to retain the same hard disk - but what happens is the hard disk crashes and one wants to install the OS along with all the drivers? The Dell DVD allows me to do precisely that. Can I create a similar disk to install the OS on a new hard disk as and when I want/need it please? I have created two sets of DVDs using the OKR software - one set using the 'system presently on disk' and another set for 'resetting to factory defaults' - but from what I have read on these forums these OKR disks would not work if I put a completely new hard disk. So at least if I can get hold of the correct version of the Windows DVD - as I have paid for the license I would be very grateful. Thank you.
Solved!

Thanks for the quick reply.
But to me this looks more like a OKR solution and I have already created these Factory Reset discs.
Will these discs work if I have installed a completely new hard disk in the dive? Because that is what I would need to do in the rare event that I have a complete hard disk failure.
What is confusing is the fact that on these forums, I find many messages which indicate that the OKR solution would work only with the original hard disk and it would not work with a completely new hard disk and also that the OKR itself would not be able to change partitions on the hard disk - even when it is the original hard disk. To me this means any disks that are created using the OKR would be useless when the original hard disk has undergone severe change or a completely new hard disk is in its place. Correct me if I am wrong. (In fact I am hoping that I am wrong in that assumption.)
My laptop has a 750GB hard disk and it has Windows 7, 64bit. I actually want to make this into a dual boot machine with KUbuntu. What is stopping me attempting that is the fact that C drive has bigger partition and D drive is a smaller partition (too small in fact - 30GB these days is practically nothing) and I learn that any modifications I do to drive partitions would render the OKR non functional.
I can live without this simplistic one key rescue operation if I have recourse to the Windows 7 DVD and that is why I asked the question.

No. You don't need it. But if you did you could use the freeware ClamXav 2.2.1.
