Where to buy used/refurbished Power Mac G5

Im looking to but a used/refurbished Power Mac G5. Does anybody have any advice of where I can get one?

Hi there, I bought one here in Sptember of 2009, quite happy with it, looked like it was a brand new Quad G5...

Some reviews about the place scared me, but after reading reviews, I think the negativeness was unwarranted.
If I had any money, I'd buy this one myself...

Refurbished iBook G4

I am trying to buy an Apple iBook for my son for Xmas. His brother just got a brand new one for his birthday and the other son is very sad. But buying a whole new one seems excessive. On the other hand, buying something "refurbished" strikes me as risky. I did find an iBook Notebook 12" M9623LL/A (1.2 GHz PowerPC G4, 256MB RAM, 30GB Hard Drive, Combo Drive, Built-in AirPort Extreme) from Amazon. I totally understand the need for having your own laptop but my husband, not an apple guy, does not. Does anyone have any educated or experienced thoughts on buying refurbished when the warranty cannot be covered by buying the 3 yr apple plan coverage? Is it penny-wise and pound foolish? I have looked on-line everywhere for pricing. Thanks.

If you buy a refurbished iBook from Apple you can buy the AppleCare plan also. The Apple store special deals web page states:
For extended coverage, you have the option of purchasing the AppleCare Protection Plan with your Apple Certified Refurbished product. For your convenience, we have placed the appropriate AppleCare Protection Plan at the bottom of each Apple Certified Refurbished product collection.

Where can i buy a refurbished iphone

Where can i buy a refurbished iphone ? Does apple sell them?

No idea but these are the precautions you should take if you find one
When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account. Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
Turn the device on and slide to unlock. If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased.
Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
Begin the device setup process.
After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to icloud.com/find.
Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account. You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.

Where can you buy a cheap ibook

Hey I was just wandering where I could buy a cheap ibook. I would like a G4 just because it is the newest one.

I have a nice iBook G4 1.33 12" with some accessories,
which I may be convinced to part with for about $1200.
And that's because I don't really want to sell it. The unit
just came out of three year AppleCare; no issues. Low
run time, two batteries; original OS X 10.4.(11) & it works
very well. Looks almost like new; been stored in a case.
In fact, the price has just gone up: $1500.
Second thought, it isn't for sale for under $5,000!
For some ideas on factory configurations for most things
Apple, see http://mactracker.ca for a downloadable database.
And for some ideas on repaired and guaranteed Macs, see
LowEndMac.com; and wegenermedia.com. They aren't junk
and don't compare in price with the millions of WinTel PCs.
Good luck & happy computing!

AC Power Adapter issue with new (refurbished) ibook...

I just got my refurbished ibook today and went to plug it in and test it, and then wanted to charge the battery on it. At first I thought it wasn't doing anything when I went to turn it on (it made the starting sound but the power button didn't turn on or anything), but then after trying a couple times, I noticed that the black screen had a faint image of an apple on it. I had the screen too far to the front for me to see it clearly (as it's an lcd screen) and later when setting my preferences, I had noticed the brightness was just too dim which I adjusted...
So the power button never did glow when it was turned on (at least I didn't notice it after I got it booted up). My adapter's plug fits loosely in the socket on the laptop but still glows green, but all the time... Isn't it supposed to glow orange when charging??? Well I was setting up everything and did my power management settings as well, and as I have it set up to show me my battery level on the desktop, I was noticing that it was depleting (at what I would guess is a normal pace for my current settings), it started off around 83% and had gone down to 58% or so after about 1 and a half hours with highest settings basically. But my power adapter was plugged in the whole time... Shouldn't it be using my AC power and not the battery's?
So I turned it off and now it is sitting there (hopefully charging), but that little green light on the adapter where it plugs into the laptop is just that, still green...
Does all this mean that there is a problem with the power adapter and its ability to actually charge my laptop? I got this refurbished (from TigrfDirect) with a 1 year warranty (from Apple) so this should be covered, but as I just received the thing today, I really don't want to have to deal with a messed up AC Adapter...
Also, I haven't even yet checked the battery itself to see what # it is and if it is one of the ones that is part of the recall or not... I would hate to have to do that and not have a working AC Adapter, though of course if the adapter is't working, I can't charge the thing anyways, so I guess I would have to wait another few weeks with dealing with Apple and the warranty issues anyways.
I looked in the help section and the only suggestion they had for if your battery doesn't charge is to take it out and put it back in and then attach the adapter again. I guess I could do that at the same time I check on the battery's recall status, I just hate opening my computer up as soon as I get it. Also the battery cover is not totally flush with the rest of the case, one corner sticks up a bit, and I think it was a replaced item as it doesn't have the little LED lights that the computer says should be there to tell me how much the battery is charged (unless this is UNDER the cover for some reason, but the cover is bright white compared to the rest of the ibook coloring, so it seems as it was just a basic replacement cover used)...
Ok, so thanks for any input you might have. I will let people know in a couple hours if the ibook has actually charged at all during that time or not...

So I did the reset button thing and it didn't do anything at all... If I plug in the power adapter without the battery the laptop will not turn on at all, so I am guessing that it definitely is the adapter and will have to contact Apple to somehow get a new one. Oh great, tomorrow's Friday and isn't this a holiday weekend? Which means it will probably take even longer to get them to send me a replacement adapter... You think that buying a refurbished mac would mean that they would have tested out all the parts/components first before reselling it...
And so while I was at it, I checked on my battery's model # and serial # and it is one of the ones on the recall list. I think I was right that it had been replaced (now that I know that the battery is part of the back cover) which would probably explain the recall battery as this is one of the older ibooks and should have been one of the lucky ones made before the ones on the list... I did get to see the lights (only 3 though) flash solid green for about 3 seconds when replacing the battery back into the laptop.
One good thing did come out of this... As I was taking the keyboard out to find the computers serial # (I already filled out my form for the new battery), I was surprised to see an Airport card. Not that it would have surprised me too much in the first place except that it wasn't listed in the details/parts list when I bought the laptop. It was also listed that my laptop had a 10GB hard drive (while the picture on the website showed a 30GB one). The box it came in said 30GB as well, but I just dismissed that. I had went to see how much space I had left on the HD to see that it had 13.99GB and this is after any formatting, and the install of OS 10.2.8 including OS 9.2.2... So a few added bonuses to help make up for the fact that it is NOT is as good shape as I was expecting (or should be to even be sold as a refurb IMO), and the fact that the AC adapter is completely faulty.
I just hope that I can get a new AC Adapter soon, so that I can at least be able use my laptop with some kind of power until the new replacement battery shows up. This must be some kind of terrible joke. I get the laptop to be able to use it for a few hours and then have it be without ANY kind of power for posibly up to 2 months? I seem to have the worst luck with Macs, which makes it strange as I have never had any problems with all the PC's I have ever used (and I started using computers when I was 4) but I have now had an imac die (possibly the HD), an Apple studio monitor start flashing on the screen possibly due to connector problems, and now this (and all within 2 months). I am almost ready to just give up, but I have spent too much time and money on all this mac stuff (and all for my obsession with OS X) to do it just yet.
So please tell me macs aren't always this horrible, or else I will have to make up my own commercials where PCs are better because at least they turn on and boot up for more than 1 week (I think I had the imac working for about 5 days total before it would boot with errors).
Or some kind soul could also mail me a working AC Adapter that would work with my ibook (if you happen to have a spare), so I could get to do more on it other than changing it's settings... I now only have 40% battery life left. I don't think I should even turn it on again as the boot up alone would drain away too much precious juice...

If I buy a refurbished MBPr, will I be able to transfer my video software to it from my old MB?

I'm looking to buy a refurbished 2012/2013 Macbook Pro Retina and then to transfer my Adobe Production Suite (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, After Effects, etc.) and an old Microsoft Office Suite from my 2008 Macbook onto it. Is this going to be possible if I take both into an Apple store? I have no idea where my original download discs went to, so that is not an option.
Other details that may not pertain: I don't really want to attempt it at home. I'm going to have to update my Adobe Suite after it's been transferred; I own the CS5.5 suite which looks a little blurry on the retina display, so I'll upgrade to CS6. Maybe I won't need to transfer it if they can virtually transfer the update onto my new computer? (And I know what some of you are thinking...No I don't want to switch to creative cloud). I don't really mind if Office is a bit blurry, I rarely use it, but like it better than Pages or Open Office.
Thanks!

Is this going to be possible if I take both into an Apple store?
Call the AS & ask them. I would think you need proof that you are the rightful owner of the apps.
I have no idea where my original download discs went to
If you still have your receipts as confirmation of purchase and/or written down the serial #'s & kept them in a safe place, you need to contact Microsoft. Perhaps they will send you new discs.

Buying a refurbished mac.

I'm going to start with an apology if this is in the wrong place, I'm new to the forums and just finding my way about. Please feel free to shout at me or move this post to a more suitable place.
Anyhow, hi there everybody, I'm a (shudder) PC user at the moment, finally sick of Bill Gates and all his crap, and looking to make the switch to a Mac.
It's that time again where I need a new computer, and have a limited budget of £500 to spend.
I am an arts student, so will mainly use my computer for running programs such as Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, image and video editing programs.
So I asked around a bit a few people are telling me that you can pick up some pretty sweet deals through buying a refurbished Mac.
So my question is what's the best way to go about finding a good deal on a refurb mac. I am looking for an iMac, basically the best and most recent I can get for around £500. I've had a brief look on the web but can't find much. So any tips on hothouses for refurb macs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much everyone!

Hi hamkins -
I'm afraid 500 quid isn't going to get you too far on the Apple Refurb Store, take a look at the link below and you'll see what I mean -
http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/9604042/wo/hHLlJdww28Fj3NSBn AW1JZNEMOk/3.0.0.26.9.5.7.1.2.1.1
As you can see there's very little in your price bracket. Which leaves you with a couple of options. Try somehow to get some more cash together. Or try your hand somewhere else like eBay. If you do try somewhere else then try to make sure you get an Intel-based machine not a G5.
If you're a student you may be able to get some discount, I'm not sure though, you'd need to check with Apple.

Hi Joseph,
No, Apple doesn't have a buy back/trade in policy. eBay is probably your best bet.

Advice on where to buy a vzw iPhone 4s without contract

I would like an iPhone 4s without extending my contract or paying full price. I have Verizon. Is there any recommendations on where to buy used or refurbished phone 4s.

Meg makes a very good point, not to be ignored just to save some $$. If the phone cannot have been legally off-contract for at least another year, you must be absolutely sure that some provider somewhere will activate it.
Else you have a $450 (assuming you can find that price) paperweight.

Where can I find free iBooks Author templates?

Where can I find free iBooks Author templates? I'm trying to create a storybook for kids, is there a listing of such?
Thanks!

When I used the link and clicked on Free there was nothing showing except the loading spinner ....which never ended. Reloaded and tried the Photography link which was OK...
Just tried today and the site is fully functional dont know if it was my machine or what!
I did not try anything free, I get wary of new sites being advertised in targetted forums and such and wanting email address's.
I make my own template, $20 for one template seems expensive to me there are apps in the store offering templates far less expensive, as do Jumsoft and I have no connection with them other buying their set when iBA first came out.
"Templates for iBooks Author" is a free app offerring 10 templates free! their next version offers 20 I think for $10
I think my next project should be a website offering templates a $3 each ! So far I have created 150....
Edit: Anybosy wanting to learn more about creating or modifying template should really check out KT's tips and information on this link given above and repeated here...

Choice of keyboard layout buying a refurbished Macbook Air or Pro?

Do I have a choice of a certain keyboard layout when I buy a refurbished Macbook Air or Pro?
I like to buy a Macbook Air or Pro in the Swiss Apple Online Store.
There seems to be no information at all which kind of keyboard layout (e.g. US QWERTY or German QWERTZ) is built in.
Thanks.
Timo

No further configurations are allowed. You would have to find one with the keyboard you want already present on the mac. I'm not sure where you can find info on how the keyboards in the refurb store are configured. I would assume QWERTY unless otherwise specified (at least in the U.S. Apple refurb store).

I purchased a refurbished iBook G4-Version 10.4.11 and everytime that I try to purchase anything on iTunes or change something in my account, I click "done" and it says that I have timed out. What could be causing this?

I purchased a refurbished iBook G4-Version 10.4.11 and everytime that I try to purchase anything on iTunes or change something in my account, I click "done" and it says that I have timed out, when I'm on there for less than a minute. Hence, none of my purchases have gone through.What could be causing this?

You need to use a newer Mac OS X version. A G4 can be upgraded to 10.5.8(if desired, buy a retail DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay), but you'll likely find it more cost-effective to buy a secondhand Intel Mac.

Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store. If you want to buy something, you will have to contact stores in your country directly yourself to ask.

Any suggestions what tablet model to buy and where to buy it?

Any suggestions what tablet model to buy and where to buy it? What about buying it on EBAY? Do you know any reliable dealers? I don’t have too much money to spend. Even refurbished one will do. Many thanks to every one.

eBay is certainly an option. If you have a newer computer, especially one running Vista, avoid one that has a serial port, as I mentioned in the other thread. Go with USB.
If you decide to go with a new tablet, there is a range of choices. The most basic is the plain 'Bamboo' model, which has no bundled software to speak of, for about $70. There're a couple of slightly higher level 'Bamboo' tablets, the 'Craft' and the 'Fun' which have software bundled that you likely won't need if you have Photoshop already, for under $100.
The next level is the 'Inuous 4'. These are available in several different sizes. The small one, with a drawing area of about 4x6 inces, goes for around $200. I just bought one of these the other day for my notebook computer. I bought mine at Staples, because they had the bst price in my area. The difference between the 'Bamboo' and the 'Intuous' is the Intuous has finer control over stylus pressure and position.
If you've just won the Lottery, there's the 'Cintiq', which is similar to the Intious, but has a built-in LCD Video screen.
Look ar Wacom's Web site at http://www.wacom.com/index2.php for more information. The choice of tablet area is a personal preference.
