Version of OSX Shipping With New MacBooks?

Is 10.4.9 or 10.4.10 shipping with new MacBooks? Preferably, I'm looking for an answer from someone who has recently purchased a new MB.
Thanks.

There was a topic about this just four days ago:

Apple rarely updates the build that is installed at the factory unless new hardware requires the update. The current MacBooks should be shipping with 10.4.9.

Yes, I too had this problem.
I was issued an update from Apple for a new version software as well as a new version of Lightrooom and now it shows up on the desktop and in finder as it should.
MacBook Pro Retina running 10.8.2 (12C54)
Lightroom running 4.1

Hold down command-R to boot into recovery mode and then install the OS. You need an Internet connection.

Graphite Airport with new MacBooks and MacBook Pros

We have a mobile lab that is using some old dual USB iBooks with a graphite airport base station. The iBooks are connecting to the base station without a problem and getting on the internet. In the next room over, a teacher with a MacBook is trying to get online with the same base station. The MacBook can see the Airport, but it will not receive an IP via DHCP. I've taken my own MacBook Pro over to the base station as well and the airport icon blinks on and off for my own machine.
Is this a compatibility issue with the Intel based laptops with airport extreme trying to connect to an old graphite base station?

If you believe the problem might be in the network settings, I am happy to let you compare yours to my working ones.
When the MacBook is connected to the Graphite base station's network:
System Preferences > Network > Show: AirPort > TCP/IP
. Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
. IP Address: 10.0.1.x (provided by the base station as DHCP server)
. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (provided by the base station as DHCP server)
. Router: 10.0.1.1 (provided by the base station as DHCP server)
. DHCP Client ID: (blank)
. DNS Servers: (blank)
. IPv6 Address: (string of hexadecimals)(self-assigned by MacBook)
System Preferences > Network > Show: AirPort > TCP/IP > Configure IPv6
. Configure IPv6: Automatically
. IPv6 Address: (string of hexadecimals)(assigned by MacBook)
. Router: (blank)
System Preferences > Network > Show: AirPort > PPPoE
. (everything unchecked)
System Preferences > Network > Show: AirPort > Proxies
. Configure Proxies: Manually
. Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) checked
. (everything else unchecked)
System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations
. AirPort is third on the list and checked.
. (FireWire and Ethernet are the first two.)
. (I currently have no FireWire or Ethernet connection.)
System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Status
. "AirPort is connected to the network (name). You are connected to the Internet via Airport."
In AirPort Admin Utility, version 4.2:
(Select base station) > Configure > Network
. Distribute IP Addresses (checked)
. AirPort client computers: Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT) (selected)
. (everything else unselected)
Please note that the AirPort Utility that comes with new MacBooks cannot configure a Graphite base station.
I can't think of anything else that would be relevant to whether the base station supplies an IP address to a wirelessly connected MacBook, but you are welcome to ask about other settings.
If the problem with the MacBook Pro is in the network settings and not a result of interference, the only thing I can think of is a possible DHCP conflict. Please make sure "Enable AirPort to Ethernet bridging" is turned off in AirPort Admin Utility.

When did your neighbour have access to your new Mac, did you lend it to him?

Facebook problems with new macbook pro.

Facebook problems with new macbook pro. I can't publish photo albums to timeline. I can't share items onto timeline. Photos I'm tagged in don't appear on my timeline. Any help?

Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

Does iworks come with new Macbook Pro? Which version?

I purchased my Macbook Pro last week and it is already asking me to update my iWork to '09. Can not find it on the website what came with the purchase. Please help! Is this right that it doesn't come with the latest version?

If it shipped with the computer and you need to ask, it's a trial version.

Shipping times New Macbook Pro With Retina Display

My question is that I placed an order for a new macbook pro on July 19th when it stated that there is still a 3 to 4 week shipping wait but I checked this morning and it has improved to 1 to 2 weeks my question is does this mean my mac could be shipped earlier or will i have to wait the full 3 to 4 weeks?
Thanks

I initially had a 3 day wait, which blew out to 3-4 weeks, and has now reduced to 2-3 weeks, all in the space of 1 actual day. From my conversations with Apple customer support, I get the impression that nobody you'll speak to will have any idea of when the item will actually be shipped, until it actually IS shipped. As frustrating as it is, I don't mind waiting a month for something that will last me 4-5 years.

Problem installing Mac OSX on my new MacBook hard drive...

Hi,
i am beside myself again...(i just visited my local Genius bar this afternoon). Any help would be most appreciated! :o)
i purchased a 2.5 inch SATA Fujitsu 120GB laptop hard drive for my new MacBook. Followed the awesome* instructions on "how to replace/upgrade hard drive", and took out the original Toshiba HD. What the instructions* failed to mention was that i would eventually need to use a Torx screwdriver (star-shaped) to remove the caddy/carriage from the Toshiba HD. Got that the next day and replaced the Toshiba 80GB with my new 120GB Fujitsu drive..., it slipped into place nicely but i did notice that the Toshiba had four short wires protruding out to the right of the contacts, which my new Fujitsu didn't have... hmmmm...?!
anyways, tried to install Mac OSX on the new drive, booted up with the install disc... went thru' chosing the language (English), agreed to the second step... but when it came time to install, there was NO icon at all in the box where i am asked where i want to install it!!!
so i go to disk utilities, and see that my Fujitsu HD is indeed recognized, but none of the buttons in first aid are active... so i can't check it.
i figured that had to do with the four little wires, so i replaced the original Toshiba and made a reservation with Genius Bar to ask for assistance.
this afternoon, i explained my problem and was told the four wires have NOTHING to do with it... Lawrence (the genius) told me to (actually, first he said Apple does not recommend my doing this... and that i should go to a 3rd party computer store such as Dino to get help!) go back to disk utilities and partition, then erase this drive and then i will see the icon for this drive in the install box.
Well i did everything i was told to do and... still, there is no icon for my Fujitsu HD! :o(
I was able to partition, after which there was a disc0 under the Fujitsu drive on the left side of the disk utilities. When i go to system profiler, and click on ATA... it too shows the Fujitsu drive... but i cannot install because there is NOTHING to click on at the installation step! the "continue" button is not active and only the "back" button is actively mocking me!!!
i know many of you have successfully upgraded your hard drive... what am i doing wrong? Would a different brand work better? I know Seagate is quite popular, and OWC sells a Western Digital version as well as a Hitachi... do those four little wires make a difference? Would the Seagate come with those wires???
i am going crazy... thanks, and sorry for the long post, just wanted to let you know what i've done!
blue skies,
ps. please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you think that would be better! :o)

Hi,
...after getting back from school, my MacBook was STILL in the process of verifying and "supposedly" repairing... since i was gone for over 10 hours, i finally assumed the drive was either defective or just incompatible, and quit disk utility.
...this morning i went out and bought a new Seagate 120GB SATA (they didn't have 160GB SATA drives, only 160GB ultra-ATA drives) 2.5 inch HD. This one DID have those four wires to the right of the contacts... (i don't know how important they are), and after changing and exchanging the Toshiba/Fujitsu HDs, it was a breeze putting in the new Seagate drive.
Erased > patritioned > and sure enough, the icon showed up and the biggest smile showed up on my face as i finished installing! :o)
I contacted the original seller of my fujitsu hd (it was a 2.5 inch, 120GB, serial ATA notebook drive) and he was kind enough to say "just pack it up and send it back for a refund!" (minus shipping and re-stocking fees of course! :o)
Just wanted to mention that, the fujitsu hd WAS recognized by disk-utility and at the bottom left of the window it said that the fujitsu was "GUID partitioned"..., so i am still scratching my head as to why it didn't work?!
I want to thank everyone that offered advice, it was helpful and i feel more comfortable with my MacBook after this trying and very frustrating episode! :o)
blue skies,

No software shipped with new MBA!?

Hi, I just recieved my new Macbook Air. There is no software (OSX/iLife) in the box (it is installed though).
Is there no software to be shipped with the MBA anymore? My dad does have a thumb that came with his slightly older MBA.
What if i need to reinstall?

The MBA I received at Christmas did not include any software on disc either, although it is all installed on the drive. That's the new way Apple is distributing software these days.
As for reinstalls, the new MBA allows you to work with Lion Recovery, the new way to reinstall.

What CDs ship with a macbook?

My daughter got a new Macbook the other day. It shipped with Ilife08. When she tried to use Garage Band, We got an error that ther were no instruemts. The message said to download from a CD or through the Web. There are no downloads on the web, and the only CDs she got were two markded OSX. Does Ilife normally ship CD's with a new machine?

If you insert Disk 1 and open it, it should have a folder that says Install Bundled Software Only. Use that.

IPod Classic 5th generation will not sync with new MacBook

I have had a 5th generation iPod classic that I have been super happy with. I have used it with several PC laptops. Because I have gone through so many PC's, I decdied this year to get a new MacBook Pro. Since my old PC was dying it took forever to get all my music and videos transferred to my new MacBook. Anyhow, I have had no luck syncing my iPod with my new MacBook. I have read several other posts (but mostly older like 2007-2010) that others have had similar problems. Here is a quick list of what I have done/what has happened:
Initially, I would get one of two messages:
'The ipod '(My Name) ipod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-124)'
- 'The ipod '(My Name) ipod' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found.'
Two times it told me I needed to use a USB 2.0 port (but I have a new MacBook and was using the newer 3.0 port). I haven't seen that message since.
It actually "transferred" over 4500 of my 7000 items (I have a ton of music that I use for my job) and then just stopped. When it was disconnected only about 200 songs were actually on my iPod.
I've restored it several times.
Seems to "freeze" on random songs or videos and will not continue to sync, even theough the iPod says it's syncing. Then iTunes freezes. I have to "force quit." Sometimes (but not all the time) if I try to re-open iTunes, I get a message that says iTunes is locked.
I thought maybe my cable was bad (it was the original that came with the iPod). I actually spent $20 and got a new one. No luck.
With the new cord iTunes now gets frozen on the 3rd or 4th song it is trying to transfer. Once I disconnect the iPod (I have to disconnect with ejecting because iTunes is frozen and it also freezes up Finder to eject) my iPod makes an awful click sound and I have to start it by toggling and then holding the play/pause button.
I have tried enabling disk, manually controlling music, etc. but nothing helps.
I am sick about it because I rely on my iPod a lot for my job-- and I can't afford a new one since I just bought a MacBook. I think it has something to do with the fact that I got this new MacBook. My old PC was getting so sensitive that I didn't download the latest version of iTunes (but I still had the second latest version).
Any help is appreciated.

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!
