Where can I get a iMac 27" box?

I need a box to bring my baby back from the apple store (smokey screen replacement) and eventually to ship it. We threw ours out in a genius move to save space in our already cramped basement, so no longer have it. If and when i sell my machine, i need a box so wanted to start the search now. I've already checked ebay and none are for sale there. I've also posted to Craigslist in Philly and no one responded, so i'm asking here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The Apple Store is one source. If that fails, you can go to one of the national packing and shipping franchise stores. They can probably help you with the right box and packing materials. If you're going to ship it anywhere, I'd suggest talking to the Apple Store people; they might have some insight. When you finally do ship it, I'd also suggest using a national packing and shipping franchise store to do the whole job and to make sure that it's insured for as much as possible. I really would hesitate to even try to pack the thing myself.

  • Where can I get an iMac G3 Restore Disk?

    I have an iMac G3 with Mac OS 9.1. Where can I get restore disks for it?

    Try contacting Apple support. You may be asked for the computer's serial number, and there will likely be a charge for the disks.

  • Where can I get a new hard drive for my intel imac?  **** thing dumped, less than 3 years old.

    This is my first mac and the **** hard drive crashed in only 2+ years and of course the waranty is expired.  Can I replace the hard drive with any 3.5" replacement or do I need something special.  And if I do where can I get it?  I didn't see anything specifically for an intel imac at apple store.  I don't want to pay apple to install it, already spent enough money on this disappointing purchase.

    any 3.5" Sata drive will do.  I recommend http://www.macsales.com/, or http://www.newegg.com/

    Presumably the mains cable, which you can get from an Apple Store.

  • Can I run Mac Os 10.4 on my iMac G4 Dome? Where can I get install disks?

    I have an iMac G4 that currently has Mac OS10.3.9 installed.  I am unable to connect to the internet using my Airport Extreme even though there is an Airport card installed..  Can I install Mac OS 10.4 and if so where can I get installation CD's/DVD's for PPC G4? 

    Check in the Airport forums here:
    AirPort
    There may be a way to change security settings on the AEBS to accomodate the older OS.
    As for OS versions, any iMac G4 can run OS 10.4.11, and those with a 1ghz or faster processor can run OS 10.5.8. However, demand has pushed prices of legitimate retail install packages for older Mac OS versions sky-high---often more than the computer is worth used---and has also attracted the attention of scam artists. There are NO downloadable versions of the Mac OS since 7.5. Any offered are scams and piracy.
    You cannot use the gray system install/restore disks that came with another Mac model. A retail disk is black witha  big X and will NOT say "Up to Date" on it.
    Another caution: Some older G4 iMacs shipped with CD drives, not DVDs, and most Tiger retail disks out there are DVDs. Make sure your computer can use a DVD system disk before your order.

  • Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    You should look for an Epson Stylus Color 740 or the higher-end 900 or 980, which are about 12 years old now.  All have USB connectivity, and while the 900/980 is a better/faster printer, it's harder to find the ink tanks for it at the usual office supply stores.  Ink tanks for the 740 series seem to be more readily available, without a special order.  There were Mac versions of these printers (the 740i and 900i), with blue/ice housings that were color-keyed to match the fruit-colored "blueberry" iMac and Blue & White G3 mini-tower.  There was no Epson printer that was color-keyed to the original Bondi Blue iMacs.

    Call Apple to purchase replacement discs or order a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple's Online Store. Follow these instructions:
    Drive Preparation and Install Snow Leopard
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. When completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Once you boot from Snow Leopard you should open Software Update and install all the available updates required. After you complete this and restart the computer open the App Store application in the Dock or Applications folder.
    8. Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password. Purchase and download Lion.
    9. After Lion's installer downloads, install Lion.

  • Where can I get leopard for my imac G5?

    I would like to use Time Capsule for my G5, but was told I have to upgrade to Leopard. Where can I get one that is tailored for the imac? Apple Store doesn't sell it.

    Contrary to most opinions, you can get it from Apple Store's *phone sales*, 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753), for $129 USD. Alternatively, Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.

  • Where can I get a roller mouse for a "sunflower" iMac?

    Where can I get a roller mouse for a "sunflower" iMac?

    I believe that by the time the "Flower Power" and "Blue Dalmation" G3 models were released, the Apple Pro (optical) mouse was included, instead of the round (roller ball) mouse that shipped with earlier models.  The Pro mouse was seriously flawed by its flimsy cable and lack of a strain relief, to minimize stress on the cable from repetitious flexing where it exits the mouse.  Unless you're attempting to restore it to its original configuration, I would suggest buying a third-party USB mouse with a better cable design.

  • TS3649 my mac (2012) did not come with idvd.where can i get this program for download?

    My iMac os lion 10.7.2 (2012) did not come with idvd program. Where can I get this program for download?

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - a free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    • Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • What are the coupons for?? and where can I get cheaper .Mac membership

    What are those coupons that came with the mechine for??
    Not for .Mac??
    where can I get cheaper ones.(I live in Canada)
    Thanks

    They are used for the rare promotion or upgrade offers.
    The only time I've ever seen a use for them is when you purchase a computer with a previous version of the Mac OS when a newer version is already available.
    You can submit one of the coupons with the upgrade form to obtain the new version at a reduced price.
    That's about the only benefit I've ever seen for them.
    Apple calls this program something like "Mac OS Up To Date" (something along those lines).
    To illustrate, say you purchased an iMac right after OS 10.4 came out, and discovered that the iMac was packaged-up prior to OS 10.4 being available (like it sat on a shelf for a while). So, you've got OS 10.3 installed on it.
    Now, you purchased a new computer, obviously you want the latest OS to go with it.
    So, because you purchased a new machine with an old OS, you can use the OS Up To Date program to order upgrade disks to OS 10.4 for only $20 or $30 instead of the $129 everyone else pays.
    It's not really a fair deal for a person who just purchased a new computer. But, it's better than getting stuck with paying $129.
    So, you would fill out the upgrade form, and submit your coupon with it.
    The same thing applies to if you purchased the system after the new version of iLife was available. You might be able to get the new version of iLife at a reduced price.
    Apple usually runs this program for about 90 days after a new software version is available.
    They used to work it the other way:
    When I purchased my PowerMac G3 266-DT, they had a program that allowed you to upgrade to the new version of the Mac OS for $19 or $29 (can't remember for sure the $ amount) if it was released within 90 days of you purchasing your computer.
    I took advantage of that, and got a reduced-price upgrade to OS 8.5 from OS 8.1.
    That method makes more sense to me than the current method.
    It makes sense to get a reduced price on updates that arrive up to 90-days from your date of purchase.
    But, it is not such a good deal to have to pay for updates that were already available at the time of purchase and should have been included with your new computer. After-all, it's not your fault that the computer sat on the shelf too long.
    But, that's how it works now. The coupons basically get you a discount on software updates that were shipping on new systems when you purchased your new computer that had been boxed-up before the new software was released.
    As for cheaper .Mac prices, the only options I know of are:
    1) You get a $30 discount on it when you purchase a new Mac. So, when you setup the Mac, you are usually presented with an option to sign-up for .Mac with a discount.
    2) Amazon sometimes runs a special on it.
    3) You might be able to get a .Mac retail box from someone who purchased it and then changed their mind. But, don't buy a box that has been registered already.
    Be very careful buying products like .Mac second-hand. There is no way to know that they have not already used the registration code until after you receive it and try to register it yourself.
    Hope this helps to answer your question.

  • Where can I get Oracle 8i 8.1.5 for Linux (RH 6.0) On CD?

    I'm stuck in a 28.8 baud neighborhood. Most of my connections
    are 14.4 but at night - sometimes - I can get 28.8. There is no
    Cable Modem support (Not available), not DSL (maybe by Q1 2999),
    and ISDN is foolishly priced ($1800.00 to start and $300.00 per
    month.) I have a smalll 100/T Base network with Win95, WinNT
    4.0 (Server and Client) and Red Hat 6.0 Linux. I'd really like
    to get Oracle 8i 8.1.5 Server for the Linux box and access it
    via my NT Client. But, as I mentioned above, downloading is
    very impracticle. It would take +100 hours and we have
    power/phone outages almost every day. Where can I get this
    stuff on a CD?

    On the oracle store (oraclestore.oracle.com->database->media)
    you can order a trial copy for $40 ($39.95). Allow me to ask you
    where do you live? I wouldn't like to move into your
    neighbourhood.
