I hope this is ok to post in here, because unfortunately i'm short of the post count required for the marketplace. I was wondering where would be a good place to advertise a late-2007 alu iMac? I'm trying to avoid eBay at the moment because i'll end up losing a fair amount of money in eBay and then Paypal fees. Also, is �650 an ok asking price? It's a 20" 2.0GHz C2D, 250GB HDD, 3G RAM.
View 6 RepliesI have an old, old 10Gig iBook - the very first one that came out in white, I think I bought it 2001 - that has been working great until the power cord broke a few months ago. I just bought a new Macbook to replace it, and I'm wondering what I should do with the old one? The only problem is that I have no power cord so I can't go in and wipe the harddrive, and I would really like all my stuff erased before I give it away. Is there any thing worth any money on that old machine?

I was wondering if selling parts of the iMac, like the Magic mouse or the wireless keyboard would void the warranty?
Alright, so I have the new i5 MBP.. Now I am debating if I should use it as my main machine.. I have a 24in Dell LCD I can hook up to it...
It is faster then my current iMac ( early 2008, 2.8Ghz 4GB of Ram 320G HD)..
So I am not to sure what to do..
What would you do?
I'm stuck trying to think if I should keep my iMac G5 and save up for a MacBook or sellthe G5 to purchase a new MacBook? The iMac is the 2.1GHz PPC model with iSight. I'm thinking I could at least get a grand off of it and then from there save up the extra hundred to at least afford a refurb.
So if you guys can help me decide on what you think I should do. I just need some opinions.
This is my first post on the forums so im sorry if I have put it in the wrong place.
I am going to be selling a faulty 17" iMac. However Im not sure wether to sell it as a complete machine or in bits. What do you think is the best way to make a bit of extra cash?
Does Apple sell the bluetooth wireless keyboard with the number pad and arrows? Its something that I overlooked when looking into buying a mac. I want the aluminum wireless keyboard, but I hate not having the number pad and arrows. I couldn't find one anywhere.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an iMac PowerPC G4 (Mac OS X 10.2.8, yea I know) and I want to sell it but I know I won't get very much for it since it's so old. Do you guys have any guesses to how much I can get for it and how I should go about doing that? Is it even worth it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOkay, I'm still within' my first month of mac ownership, and one of my few disappointments has been iPhoto. I used to use my digital camera's included software(ACDSee) for all my photo editing needs, but the software wasn't mac compatible.
I have found iPhoto to be completely useless for anything other than basic photo storage. All I'm looking to do is resize photos(by pixel) for message board avatars or uploading. Also to resize photos(by inch or mm) for printing. iPhoto to my knowledge doesn't let me do either of these in any sort of simple manner.
So what I'm looking for is a basic photo editor for my mac. I've read about iView and Aperture, but both of these seem like extreme overkill in both features and price for what I want to do with my photos.
So what are my options at a reasonable price? Reasonable being anywhere from free-$70 or so.
I was just looking at the battery info for my PB which is about 1.5 years old. It says that my cycle count is 59. I was wondering how many cycles the average battery will do with a reasonable charge time? My absolute max capacity is 4400. I found the information with the following command:
ioreg -l -w 0 | grep IOBatteryInfo
I need a new printer ASAP, but "She Who Must Be Obeyed" (the wife) says I can't spend more than 150 EURO / 175 USD / 100 Sterling.
Can anyone recommend a decent USB colour printer that will cope with simple print jobs (e.g. letters) within this price range? I don't need to print off high quality photos.
Is there much difference between my current 24" iMac and the top of the range Mac Mini?
iMac specs

I don't really need much power and I don't do any gaming so would there be much difference in speed between the two machines?
I'm really interested in MB Air but it's little bit expensive toy for me. Do you think there are any chances for a price cut (after releasing the second generation)?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been lurking on these forums for a few weeks now as it's time for me to come back to Mac. I've been a PC gamer for a long time, but used a Mac when I was a journalist. I want to start writing again and was considering a netbook, then realized the Mac is what I want again.
Question: I have researched several forums, rumours and checked the 'don't buy now' page for buying recommendations. However, my real question is regarding typical pricing when the "new hotness" is released. Is it typical for the price of the new models to be higher than the current pricing? If I go out and buy a MacBook Pro next week, I don't mind if it turns out that I could have saved a hundred bucks or two when they start clearing out the "old" models in refurbs, but I don't want it to end up that I could have waited a week and paid the same price for a lot more....................
Im looking forward to buying the MacBook air soon. But I need some help from you guys! I'm going for the 13" model but is it worth upgrading to 256GB and i7?I'm probably going to be surfing the web (about 6 hours/day), a little but of music, maybe 200 photos, and some apps

I shudder to think that we might be getting a bargain from apple, is that possible, or is this ssd: SuperTalent 60GB SSD (Microsata II, 1.8'')
FUD60GK18H
Which costs around 900 euros mind you not dollars, with less than half the capacity, is so much better in terms of performance than the one in the air? Also what's with the specification of a 1.8 ssd drive, are they produced in the same volumes as 2.5" ones? Are they aimed at air type products, i.e. thin and light but come at a premium price?
Did anyone notice they raised the price of these? when i bought my laptop april they were 19.99 now there 29.99... what the hell is wrong with apple?

I'm selling my PowerMac, which was upgraded with an aftermarket CPU. I've decided to reinstall the original CPU and sell the PowerMac and upgrade separately.
I noticed that Apple didn't use thermal paste between the CPU and heat sink, and I was wondering if I should do the same or go and buy a tube of Arctic Silver.

My friend purchased a used Macbook and needed to reinstall Leopard on it (to remove the previous owner's junk), so he borrowed my install DVDs. Alas, the first DVD got stuck in the combo drive, so he had to send it in (under Future Shop's Product Replacement Plan, not under AppleCare, but FS sent it to Apple for repair). When he got it back, many weeks later, the DVD didn't work and could not be booted from. Will Apple give me a replacement? Does it matter which one of us calls? I'm thinking they might want the serial number to find the incident information, and since it's his Mac that was sent in, that he should call.
will they let me purchase a replacement OEM DVD (with iLife and everything that came with my Macbook)? Anyone know how much?
however does anyone know of any sites that sell Apple t-shirts (like the ones Apple Store staff wear)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAmazon's second generation of its Kindle ebook reader takes cues from Apple in hopes to make the new product the "iPod of books." Here's a graphical tour of how close Amazon comes to replicating the iPod experience. A much smaller box Compared to the giant box that the original Kindle came in, the Kindle 2 ships in a tiny package the size of a textbook. To slim down, Amazon dropped the large hard-bound book volume case it shipped with the original model.
The smaller packaging will also save Amazon money in materials and shipping. The company already streamlines the ordering process to associate the unit's serial number with an Amazon user account so that the device is ready to go as soon as it is received. It's in the company's interests to push its readers to adopt the Kindle because sending digital books to their Kindle incurs none of the warehousing and shipping of heavy books. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said that Kindle e-books now make up 10 percent of the online retailer's total book sales for the books that are available in kindle format (statement clarified - ed)......................
