Where do I buy old iMacs like the iMac G3 for example?

I wanted to buy an iMac G3 because I want to use that old machine for gaming and web-surfing and use my Mac mini G4 exclusively for animation.
Please I beg of you do not suggest eBay!
I considered Frys Electronics but I doubt they sell used computers and I don't know of any in the State of Texas.

Hey Cheerle,
Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Here's a site that compares all the iMacs that were made. I would only consider a slot loader for what you are doing for it. I would try to at least get a 400 MHz up to a 700 which would be ideal.
A lot of school districts are cycling out their iMac G3s. Also a lot of graphics design studios and companies that used them for production. If you're close to a large town you can also check in thrift stores and also garage and yard sales.
If there's a Craig's list in your area also another great source. I search iMacs in the computer ssection and pick the oldest posts and offer them what I think it's worth.
I pick up iMacs here in Chicago for $25-$35 for 400 slots up to $60 for a 700 slot.

  • Is there something, like the SD card for example, that you can remove from your phone and leave somewhere so that when people are using Find My Friends, they think you're somewhere else?

    It's unavoidable - but I don't like being tracked. Is there a way to make everyone think I'm somewhere when I'm not?

    Delete the Find My Friends app. Don't give anyone your Apple ID password as if they had that, they could use Find My iPhone to track your phone. Don't let social media services (twitter, Facebook, Instagram) have access to your location services.
    If you are on an cell phone account that is controlled by someone else (e.g. parents) note that they may be able to avail themselves of carrier services to track your phone. In order to avoid being tracked that way, you would, as Bonanaza888 noted, you'ld need to put your phone in Airplane mode or turn it off.

  • Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro?

    Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro? There are used batteries on ebay that don't appear genuine. There are some third-party knock offs. The apple store seems to believe they can replace it, but I have to make a reservation at the silly Genius Bar just to have them tell me how much it's gonna cost, not to mention then likely wait for them to order the battery and install it. I'm perfectly capable of installing it myself. I just need to know where I can order it?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Yeah, that's what I've finally decided. I was kidna super frustrated because the first apple store I called wouldn't even tell me a price or tell me if they could replace the battery without a Genius Bar appointment, and as I would have to take off work and drive acros town--and I don't have a car so I'd have to borrow one--that was pretty annoying. That call left me pricing linux laptops. I called another store to see if I'd have better luck, and the initial answer was the same, but the girl relented under some trying-to-be-nice-but-clearly-annoyed pressure, and she gave me the answers I needed: yes, they should have the battery in stock and it should be a same-day replacement that should cost $179.
    It just *****, really, because there's so much about Apple that I used to love, and I'm watching it kinda melt away under their success in the mobile market. As a professional user, there's less and less reason to stick with them. Instead of being the best they can be, I feel like they're just trying to be flashier and just a little better than the other mediocre computer companies. Ugh. Anyway, now I'm ranting.

    Hi,
    The right part number for the hard drive kit is 681976-001. The support website for the laptop is on HP Sweden so run the part number on google.co.uk (or your Swedish). I have found the cheapest on us amazon for $38 or £42.

  • I have an Imac in my bedroom and apple tv hooked to my big screen in my living room. When I select mirror Imac on the Imac to view on the big screen in living room, can I get a wireless keyboard and track pad to control Imac from living room?

    I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

  • I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, when I want to know how much memory can not store in the same way in either computer.

    I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, the way to see how much memory I have in my iMac is diferent than MacBookPro. And where I can see the memory of the disc I've got in my iMac? Than you very much.

    If you want everything the same on both computers you need to be running the same OS X version. You can't because your iMac is a PPC machine, not Intel.
    But to see information about your hard drive is the same for both. Simply select the drive icon on the Desktop. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Disk information is in the upper panel.

  • Hello, where can I buy a apple uk ac adapter? For my iphone 5s.

    Hello, where can I buy a apple uk ac adapter? For my iphone 5s.

    While in CA, the easiest thing to get would be the pin adapter to convert the US pins to fit the UK socket at any hardware store. The iPhone power adapter can handle the voltage difference without any problems.
    This is what I carry with me when I travel overseas.

  • I have a lap top and desk top MAC.. Can i buy aperture 3 at the ap storeonce for both?

    I have a lap top and desk top MAC.. Can i buy aperture 3 at the ap storeonce for both?

    There's two ways to buy Aperture.  Either buy the retail version that comes in a box, or buy it from the App Store. The license terms are not the same. 
    If you buy the "box" version then the terms are as Emily posted above (you can install it on one desktop and one laptop as long you own both computers and only use one at a time.)
    If you buy it via the App Store then the terms are different:
    MAC APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
    Except as otherwise set forth herein,
    You may download and use an application from the Mac App Store (“Mac App Store Product”) for personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded products running Mac OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control.
    (ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download a Mac App Store Product for use either (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Computer that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use a Mac App Store Product on both the employee’s desktop Mac Computer and laptop Mac Computer, or multiple students may serially use the Product on a single Mac Computer located at a resource center or library.
    (from http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#APPS)
    If you are a private user (not a business or school) then the license applies more like a "family pack" license... as long as it's your computer, you can install and use it.  You can even run more than one copy at the same time. 

  • I do NOT like the new update for iphone (7.1). Is there a way to go back?

    I do NOT like the new update for iphone (7.1). Is there a way to go back? Every time I see a change, I think the old version is better. Especially the phone and caps. Is it possible?

    Sorry... Apple does not support the Downgrading of iOS.

  • I just bought a iTunes card and its not accepting it.  It already sent it to the support team and they said they were going to get back to my within 24 hours and i am trying to buy a program in the app store for work.  How can I expedite this process?

    Has it been 24 hours?
    I take it this was a gift card.  iTunes Store:  Invalid, Inactive, or Illegible codes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292 - gift cards
    I don't know if this provides an alternative means: https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column
    If you are really desperate you could buy the app yourself, then request reimbursement.

  • I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (to be played by iTunes). Bit didn't fixe the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, please help!

    I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (it is played perfectly on the other PC (Windows 7- pc) by the newly downloaded and installed iTunes, version 10.6.1.7). But I didn’t fix the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use (or import) your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, short: how to migrate the meta data from one pc to an other pc?
    It's a pity that it seems not to be possible to import on the new pc e.g. the ratings!!!
    I don't want to start again with rating my (beautiful classical) music!
    Thanks, from Amsterdam, NL

    Did you do the move via Home Sharing, astro?
    If so, perhaps try the instructions from the following post:

    Can time capsule back up an external hard drive attached to my imac and the iMac internal Harddrive

    In addition to Kappy's comments, the external drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in order for Time Machine to be able to back it up.
