Where can I buy a new iMac with Snow Leopard on it?

Hi Folks,
If I go to the Apple Online Store I can only purchase imacs with Lion on it.  My software does not run on Lion.  Where can I purchase a brand new iMac with Snow Leopard on it?

It is a little late in the game to find one at Apple, much less one from an Apple Reseller like Fry's or Best Buy. For example, late last year I found a new 2010 Mac Mini that was still on Snow Leopard at the Sacramento Fry's, but it was there last one.
Actually your best bet at this point in time, is to buy used from a private party or "yuck" reconditioned from a second hand reseller.

  • Where can I buy a 27" iMac with Snow Leopard?

    Does anyone know? I can't afford a new computer AND to upgrade all the programs I have that could run on Rosetta.
    Thanks...

    This one came out in May 2011, which in theory should be able to run SL: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC813LL/A
    This one from July 2010 comes with SL: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC509LL/A
    Let the forum veterans chime in if the first one has been EFI-upgraded too fat to run SL again.

  • Can I buy a new computer with Snow Leopard?

    I tried Lion but I was very disappointed. Since I am planning to buy a new computer I would like to know if I can have Snow Leopard on it. On the Store I see "Lion included" everywhere and no option to have the previous OS version.

    Thanks a lot Thomas. That's unbelievable and it is really disappointing.
    To answer your question what I did not like was:
    - not to be able to customize the interface (e.g. up/down buttons in finder scroll bars, uncustomizable finder's side bar)
    - useless new features (e.g., launchpad - I do not need to use my laptop/desktop as if it were an iPad)
    - loss of programs (e.g, front row)
    - mission control is beautiful, but expose was helpful and I need the latter
    - versions and automatic save are not needed to me but I did not find a way to disable them. It looks they make my system slower
    - my macbook became generally slower, but I could cook eggs on it. Unfortunately I need a fast laptop and not a stove
    I hoped I could downgrade the OS, but it is not the case, so this time I am going to buy a Linux box. Hopefully next OS will be better.

  • Can I use icloud on imac with snow leopard OS10.6.8

    Err Can I use icloud with iMac OS snow leopard 10.6.8 ?

    This page explains what you can do on Snow Leopard with an existing iCloud account.
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    You cannot create an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
    In addition to SoHo Organizer, Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts between a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart(click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at $20 per month. I haven't tried this.

  • Buying a new computer with Snow Leopard    Thoughts/Advice/ Recommendations

    Hey all, right now I'm on my old 2003 G4 1.07GHz white 12" iBook, 256 MB, using Safari 3.0.4
    I am SERIOUSLY thinking about purchasing a new computer, and am thinking a brand new white Mac 13" I Book with:
    2.13GHz / 250GB Serial ATA HardDrive
    4GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x2GB
    I have not EVER used Leopard, or Snow Leopard.I use my computer for a very wide variety of uses.Lots and lots of things.
    Here are my questions that I prefer to be answered please by MAC people who seriously consider themselves knowledgeable experts.
    1. Do you think I'm buying too much memory or "too much" hard drive ? Or not enough ? What do you think of the configuration ?
    2. Would you tell me to wait until next year and see what Apple comes up with ? I hear talk of flash drives and other things.My current computer runs fine and is great, just seems a bit out of date nowadays and getting seriously older.I could wait if I thought the wait was worth it.I mean, we're nearing 2010.
    3. Any advice and recommendations about Snow Leopard for me ? I do NOT wanna screw up a brand new computer within the first week or two.
    Thanks in advance to all who answer.

    No iBook is 2.13 Ghz, nor are any 13". Apple replaced the iBook line with the MacBook and MacBook Pro lineup. The 13" white MacBook and the 13" Aluminum MacBook Pro are the current new models.
    1. Do you think I'm buying too much memory or "too much" hard drive ? Or not enough ? What do you think of the configuration ?
    You can never have too much memory, albeit after awhile some machines can only address so much.
    2. Would you tell me to wait until next year and see what Apple comes up with ? I hear talk of flash drives and other things.My current computer runs fine and is great, just seems a bit out of date nowadays and getting seriously older.I could wait if I thought the wait was worth it.I mean, we're nearing 2010.
    Flash drives are already optional in MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
    Talk of other things, you should read this tip:

    3. Any advice and recommendations about Snow Leopard for me ? I do NOT wanna screw up a brand new computer within the first week or two.

    Intel Macs have no Classic.
    Snow Leopard may have difficulty with old Carbon applications, though works fine with Appleworks. Read these links to make sure you are able to migrate to Snow Leopard:

    http://www.macintouch.com/specialreports/snowleopard/slcompat.html
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    If you aren't, a used or refurbished Mac* might be best, or upgrading your existing iBook to 640MB of RAM, if nothing but slowness is plaguing it:
    http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
    Getting a larger capacity parallel ATA 2.5" 9.5mm hard drive may help too.

  • Buying a new mac with snow leopard vs. lion?

    I've been saving up to buy a Macbook pro for sometime, to make the PC to Mac switch, and after the announcement of lion I've been considering waiting to buy a new Macbook until lion comes out. I'm not entirely sure about this decision though because of new OS bugs and the like so I was wondering if anyone had any advice on waiting until lion comes out to buy a Macbook or just buying now while snow leopard is still out and wait to update to lion in the future.

    As Paul indicated, there's no sense in waiting. Lion, while announced, still has not received a release date. In addition the current architecture (Sandy Bridge) is the latest and greatest. Intel and Apple are always working on new stuff, so even if you wait for Lion there's a new machine being assembled in China the day you purchase the "latest and greatest."
    Another thing to consider is compatibility. With any new major release there's going to be problems/issues and existing software compatibility issues. As a "switcher" you'll also need to purchase new software, as just about all of your existing PC software will not be compatible with OS X (Snow Leopard or Lion for that matter).
    Personally, I don't think there's any compelling reason to wait. Apple does not always release new hardware with a new OS.

  • New Imac with Snow leopard

    Small question. I want order new Imac on friday.Will Snow Leopard be preinstalled on it or will it come with normal Leopard + Snow Leopard install disk. Its will not make a difference to me but i relly would like to know.I cant sleep at night thinking about this.Thanks

    I just found this on Apple website. Its a answer to my own question __*How to get Mac OS X*__
    __*Snow Leopard.*__

    When it’s released, every new Mac computer will come with Mac OS X Snow Leopard already installed. You won’t need to do anything http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/specs.html

  • Can I buy a new iMac with mini display connection instead of thunderbolt?

    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro which I would like to connect to use the display & am aware that a 2009 MacBook will not connect to a Thunderbolt Display. My husband has a new MacBook Air which has thunderbolt, but I think he can get a thunderbolt to mini display connector for him to use.

    I want to be able to connect my 2009 MacBook Pro to the display on the iMac. The reason I asked about the display is because I know thunderbolt is not compatible with a 2009 MacBook Pro.
    From reading other posts I understand that the Cinema Display connections are compatible but not the Thunderbolt Display connection.
    I am presuming that the display that comes with the iMac is the same as the Thunderbolt Display which can be purchased separately, but maybe I am wrong?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

    where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

    Depends on the original drive. According to OWC, at least last time I checked some months ago, any current WD drive they sell (up to 2 TB?) will be able to be swapped directly. I am unable to confirm this personally. But, even so, that was a while back. You should check with them again on this. As for Seagates, that might not be so simple.
    This is the original article on this from them.
    http://blog.macsales.com/2751-proprietary-cable-can-put-the-brakes-on-upgrading- late-09-imacs
    If you find a drive that OWC sells and is certain will swap in directly, you can see if newegg.com has it for less.
    This one that OWC sells will swap in directly, according to them.

    Although the card is still under warranty, but the Hungarian dealer guarantees the absence of a sticker, he can not receive and send the MSI Central service!? My client is still the original box it preserved and of course those are on the sticker, but it does not accept?! :( What can do? The fan fell apart the bearing section! Stuck on you can not because it is a plastic bushing is molded / manufactured!
    If need the picture i able to send it so please somebody able to help me?
    Here is the card data from the orig. box:
    912-V214-005
    R5770-PMD1G

    Thx for the support!
    Bye,

    You dont have to do anything. I gave you a potential suggestion to one solution.
    Contact MSI technical and ask them. If the card is under guarantee, they may ask you to send it in and you will probably get a refurbished card.
    Your choice to weigh up the costs of sending the card in for repair, buying a new card or considering an aftermarket cooler.

  • Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook

    Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook

    Depending on the build year model configuration
    (reference serial number lookup online) you may
    have a MacBook w/ built-in battery, or maybe not.
    If yours does not have a user-accessible battery
    you may want to look into iFixit.com guides to see
    what they suggest for your specific MacBook.
    And then consider if you are up to the DIY steps
    with ability to do the complete service yourself,
    or if not, then contact a qualified certified service
    center to inquire their estimate for part + labor.
    However if your computer does have an easily
    replaced battery with external access where
    you are essentially looking at the battery, that
    is just a matter of identifying the correct Mac
    to get a matching part from reputable reseller.
    You could probably get a replacement battery
    from Apple, if the computer isn't really old...
    Or you could look online at places such as
    OWC where they offer a few batteries. Just
    be sure to avoid the low-end no-name clones
    from auction sites or cheap copy imports.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I LEFT MY IPOD5G TOUCH without charging for days and now when iput it to charge it doesnt what should i do buy a new battery or is it dead ? where can i buy a new batttery

    i left my ipod 5g touch without charging for days and now when i put it in the charger it doesnt charge does it need a new battery or dead ?? where can i buy a new battery in egypt?

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                                     
    and maybe:
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD.  The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases.  I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive.  We have a new 3 TB time Capsule.  Any ideas?

    Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD.  The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases.  I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive.  We have a new 3 TB time Capsule.  I tried excluding different parts of the software from the back-up but it didn't make any difference.  I even tried exluding "invisible items" to no avail.  Any ideas?

    When you setup the wireless and ethernet in the computer.. ipv6 will be on automatic.. this is wrong for the latest TC firmware and airport utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    Go to the wireless and ethernet setup in preferences and change ipv6 to link local.
    Once you do the big backup by ethernet the wireless will function fine for incremental.. it is obviously not estimating the size correctly..
    A full back-up on the iMac would be about 650 GB.  The partial updates that I have been trying start out at 115MB and keep growing indefinitely.  The original back-up never finished nor have any of the follow-up attempts.
    The first estimate should be the full backup but it will keep growing as the backup advances.. I would also delete any inprogress files to make sure it is not messing up .. delete even a sparsebundle if there is one for the imac on the TC and start afresh once you have ethernet connection.
    See A10 here.
    Pondini may have some other clues there to give you an idea of why the backup is slow or not finishing.. there is a lot of issues with TM when it decides not to work.
