What iMac do I have?
The config is closest to a g3 but the question is which one.. It has a green case, and processor speed is 350 and has 512 RAM. It has 9.2 OS installed but it came with 9.0 CD's. And there is slot for CD and no tray. The info I googled indicates no green machine with the description so what gives? It has no safari, and MS IE seems to crash at every other website (entire machine hangs except for mouse) - is this even a valid clue? Hope the font is big enough - I couldnt figure out how to increase it
Perhaps the processor board was swapped.
but this seems another possibility...
"The first round of slot-loading iMacs came in the same "fruity flavors" as their predecessors. Later iMacs went with a different color scheme, so if you see a slot-loading iMac in blueberry, strawberry, lime, tangerine, or grape, you know it's from the first generation" from

OK here are some more comparison charts:

The 350s don't have FireWire. The 400s and above all do. I have regularly swapped 400 boards and down converters into working 350 boxes.
Here in Chicago I can get working 400-500s for $25-$40 and 600-700s for $60-$75. This is at garage sales and on Craigs.

How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now and I only purchased my new iMac in December 2012
Thanks....Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords. Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up. That will give you the ID no. and password.

I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac. I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported. the file is in the iphoto library folder" also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6'sSince the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message. If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it. -
I need to reinstall the system software on my older iMac. I have lost the system disks, though... so now what? It had 10.4. We moved, and I have looked everywhere. Am I doomed to find a way to buy it? Can taking it into the Apple Store fix it? Will it be expensive THERE? I've already saved all of the files I want off of it.... I just need it to work now.
You've lost me on why you need to reinstall Tiger, when you already have all the files you wanted (which means Tiger worked perfectly fine). If you want to upgrade to Leopard, that's a different issue: your Mac needs to meet the minimum system requirements for that, which you can easily determine.
If you just want to get a replacement set of Tiger install discs, you can try calling AppleCare and see if they're able to send you a replacement set, and if not, you'll have to buy a new set yourself. You can get them on eBay, Craigslist, and HardCore Mac (http://store.yahoo.com/hardcoremac/), although they sell it for ridiculous prices.

Lost my hard drive and also an Ipad, but have 7 k photos on a Touch that I need to load on fixed IMAC with a new hard drive, how do I do it. (There were more photos than the 7k, but they were saved on other drives, thank goodness). 7K pohotos on the Touch are no where else, must be saved! Just never went from a Touch to iMac. I have the cable hooked up and then what, I don't want to mess up,my last chance to save 7k pics! New Aperture and IPhoto on IMAC with no other photos loaded on the new hard drive yet.
I'd ask in the iTouch forum where there are more iTouch users there than here and they should know how to off load the photos. It might take a 3rd party app.

How can I see what version IOS I have on IMac
I'm new to Apple I have an IMAC and not sure where to see what version IOS I have.
1. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.
2. Macs run Mac OS X, not iOS.

I have a new iMac. I have set up a user page for myself, for my wife and an administrator page. My question is my wife needs files from my user page transferred to her page. What's the easiest way?
I've done this by dragging files from my user page to her drop box. In Finder, drag the required files and hover over the hard disc icon in the navigation bar on the left. As you hover, it will open another finder window showing the contents. Work your way down these windows into <Her username | Public | Dropbox>. Drop the files into the dropbox. She can then retrieve them from her user page.
Good luck,

I have bought a photoshop elements and have installed it on my MacBookPro. I have just bought an iMac and what to install on this computer as well. The iMac does not have a disc drive. I have copied the file onto a remote hard drive and tried to install but it thinks I have a pirate copy. What can I do?

What is the latest software version for my iMac? I have version OS X version 10.7.5
What is the latest software version for my iMac? I have version OS X 10.7.5
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have OS X Lion. OS X Mountain Lion is compatible with Mid 2007 (iMac7,1 or newer) iMacs, so to check that you have a compatible Mac, press , hold the Option (Alt) key and open System Information. Then, check Model Identifier. Also, the App Store will tell you if your iMac is supported when you try to purchase OS X Mountain Lion, so you can skip this step.
While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
When the download finishes, the OS X Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps. You will be running OS X 10.8.4 -
my imac will not connect to wifi what so ever. i have tried 3 different routers and all my other apple devices work fine. when i take it to the genius bar it seems to work with apples instore wifi. thus leading the "geniuses" to say nothing is wrong.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Was watching a movie with AirPlay mirroring on atv from iMac. Got a Skype call. Could not hear caller until I unplugged atv. Turned off AirPlay on both atv and iMac. Could not hear Skype caller until I turned off atv. What else could I have done?
I checked and found that the router did not have the latest firmware. It does now. The issue is still there. I did a little research and found that the model number of my Apple TV (MC572LL/A) shows that it is a 2G version which uses the A4 chip. The latest version uses the A5 chip and is 1080 capable. Both are supposed to be capable of using type "N" routers. I don't think that should be an issue but I wonder if later updates may have introduced some issues in the 2G version.
I am going to try changing the "N" channel also- just to see if that makes any difference. The istumbler app does not show any "N" networks in my area so it is defaulting to 149. I will note that even 1 foot away from the router I only get 75-85% for signal. I would expect it to be 100% since it is so close. I am also seeing noise go up from typically 13% to 21% when it is on channel 3 and that close. I will play change locations and channels and see if there is any improvement. -
What is the difference between mouton lion, lion, snow leopard? I have an iPad, iPhone and iMac but I have no idea what you would use these for?
Probably. Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before installing it.

My iMac will not turn on, the screen stays black, makes a whistling sound 3 short, 3 long, 3 short, well maintained while keeping on, what solution do you have?
For some reason its firmware seems to have been corrupted. Read:

I have had Aperture since version 1.0 and bought every upgrade. Now I want to transfer the software to my new iMac but I have to enter the original Serial number that I cannot locate. Any ideas what I can do, please?
The original serial number should be in the box with the installer disk.
If you cannot locate the serial number, contact Apple for a replacement serial number. You will need to provide a proof of purchase.
See: Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers
Regards
Léonie
P.S. The menu command "Aperture > About Aperture" will show you your Aperture 3 serial number on your old mac, but not the previous serial numbers.
