why did this not come with ilife loaded? apple says it is standard in every iMac.

I did not get a disk with the mac because there is no drive built into the newer imacs. I transferred everything from my old imac so ilife must have transferred to the new imac i.e. I do not know if it was already loaded or transferred.

Mine came with all the programs already installed. It's possible that you'll have to download much of the plugins and extras to have full functionality however (I had to download a separate package for Garage Band). There shouldn't be a fee.

I think Apple announced that "deal" on iLife just after I purchased this. BTW...I'm not sure that the "deal" is free. I just looked at apple.com and it looks like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are $20 each...not expensive, but not free. So not sure about that announcement. Doesn't seem to be in effect currently.

I bought a 27" model in late December with the issue. I returned it to the Apple Store in Seattle and requested a replaecement, but also requested to test it in the store before hauling the beast home. iMac no. 2 was also afflicted. They pulled a third one from the stock room; same issue. All three were also different production batches (week 42, 45 and 49 machines). I requested a full refund, which was granted. I'm now waiting until the next iMac revision (presumably next fall) before giving the iMac another chance.

I don't know, but it's probably because it's a pre-Mountain Lion release. No worries - Apple provides a free upgrade to the new OS!

For those of you with a Mac, the newest version of Apple's iLife '08 includes iMovie which will work great with this camera in HD and is made to be very simple to work with even though that means losing some of the more professional techniques. Apple also has Final Cut Express though if you want more features but for the majority of basic consumers, you'll love iMovie. If you have a Mac, you may already have it. All of iLife comes free with a Mac, although you can purchase it separately if you needed to. http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/

Check your iMacs model specs and compare the part numbers. Every iMac has different specs

I have tried contacting Amazon to find out when the iMacs with Leopard be available and no one seems to know... does anyone know when it will be?

It appears that way came packaged new. My first Mac and the best computer I have ever had!

Yes. Bear in mind that the pre-2010 iMac models do not have an add-on option if I recall correctly, meaning that you will have to completely replace your previous HDD (or SSD if you had previously replaced it).

Actually, up until a couple of days ago on Apples iMac 20" Customize your Mac page, it said in the learn more link under RAM to 'choose the 1x1GB stick if you plan on upgrading later' or something like that. I emailed them... in a hopeless attempt to get them to actually add the option but all they did was removed that part in the learn more section :(

First, they are CDs and secondly, your iMac DOES have a DVD/CD drive. Unless, of course, it predates DVDs and then OS X 10 probably will not run on your device either.

ive only had one imac it was the one I bought like this and I have no idea what is inside or anything about it I am sorry but I am sure it depends on model and other hardware inside it but you can look at the specs in the imac and find that information . I wish I could help you more

Apple does not advertise model numbers for many of their products. They use dates. The old version here is the "Late 2012 Model of 27" iMac"

No, it doesn't. It won't work with any iMac that was originally built with an internal CD/DVD drive. Per Apple.

You may need to format it, first. On Mac OS X, run Disk Utility. If it does not show up in Disk Utility, something is wrong.

J.M., I have researched this and have no answer for you. I, too, own one of these and love it. It is beautiful and, as another MAC owner stated, am thinking of ordering another as backup. Wish to have been of more help. Enjoy, Robert

My Imac is an older version too and I bought this hard drive and I love it. I have no problems with it at all. It is top of the line I think. I highly recommend it!

Thank you for the update. Major bummer - Apple seems to be screwing Amazon and the other retailers by holding out inventory of the new iMacs from them. I don't want to wait another month + either, so I'll probably get one from the Apple store too, and suffer the $150 tax hit. Booooo to Apple on this one.
