Anyone that ordered an iMac G5 on August 31 want to call Apple and ask them about shipping status?


I just called apple and rep. told me same information as online "Oct 1", no other information. I do have options of bluetooth keyboard, 250 gb, and airport.

A little off topic...Macboudille are saying that the iMac G5 will run better with two ram sticks of the same size. Surely this machine isn't capable of dual channel???

Yes it does IF you have two sticks of the same spec. Several threads about this, and it's in the developer's note.
 
I guess we'll find out soon if you're right, Ev, but now I doubt you a bit. Sorry. Its just that everything you post sound counterintuitive to what is thought.

For example.....Apple dead pixel policy below. Doesn't seem possible that so many customer service reps would have gotten this wrong. They don't take back products with 1 dead pixel. Its basically an industry standard rule, although retailers may take them back. Apple doesn't.

Not making this stuff up

As Im sure you can see by the shipping confirmation that has only been edited to protect what I would deem somewhat sensitive information, I am not making this up. At the stores they seem to be much more lenient and believe me I know about apple's pixel policy. When something is built to order the policy is followed to a T. However, stock machines are easily replacable so why not keep the customer happy? I think that makes sense and that is why my newly SHIPPED iMac is bone stock.

Congrats ! I believed you. Pls post some pics. If you need some free webspace you can find it anywhere. E.g yahoo or spymac or whatever.

Thanks

Agreed!

Please take some pics of the back panel and internals. I'd love to know how the foot is removed for the VESA attachment and where the bluetooth module is supposed to be connected.
 
Oh nice. :)

Yeah, take some pictures, especially of the ports and such. It seems that despite all the pictures, we have only seen very few angles of the iMac. Most pictures are taken from the exact same angles. :eek:
 
I believe you BigEvan23, have no real reason to doubt your purchase. But, I would also enjoy seeing some pictures of your new iMac
 
Jealous, kinda....

That 20 inch screen will be amazing. :D

Pity it doesn't come with an upgradeable or better graphics card, but whatever suits you, man. ;)

i think I'll just sit tight with what I have for a while...

This thread means nothing w/o pics.

Why do you say this? He will post pics when he gets it, he was just saying that it was shipped. So yes, this thread means everything without pics and will become only cooler when he adds them after he receives his iMac. Good grief...
 
Maybe he shouldn't get everyone's hope up high in the 1st place. He shouldn't have made this thread until he got the iMac and have taken pics to show his fellow MacRumorers. I just don't like how people claim they have something but don't show any proof of the actual product. But that's just me. At least the OP here showed the packing slip. There's this guy on another forum talking about having the new Sony Qualia 010 in his possession, but after 400+ posts, he still fails to post a single picture of the subject in discussion, claiming he doesn't have a digicam and has to wait for his friend who has one to come over. Uh... right. You just paid $3000+ on a pair of custom Sony flagship headphones and you don't have a single digicam?

Anyway, looking forward to the pics of the G5 iMac.
 
Nice!!! THanks for the pictures. I cant wait until mine ships.

What was your estimate ship date? I have a Oct 1 ship date.
 
I love how you can be guaranteed an action sequence of photos whenever new products are released...the slow undressing of an iMac G5, face it this is just geek porn! :D

Who cares! It's the pics that matter.

I know, I was just saying due to the fact that a lot of you were asking when he got it, etc.
