why a surprise, it was scheduled to be delivered Monday, but it came yesterday,
it has El Capitan v-10.11 some things are the same some things are very different, i hope you folks don't mind helping me get accustomed to this new computer, it has the magic keyboard and mouse. does anyone have the same or similar computer?

i lost the passwords to several of my favorite sites, can i retrieve them from the old one if yes, how?

thank you!

Yes... boot to the old Mac then open the Keychain application and in the search box at the top start typing the site name to find the Keychain entry for that site. Once you find the entry, double click on it to open the entry. Check the box at the lower right to see the password. Once you click that box you will be prompted for your login password to display the password.

i also found out last night that the keyboard/mouse charging cable will also charge my :apple: iPhone 5S
 
Congrats on your new iMac! It's always fun to get a new Apple toy. :)

Yes, the lightning cable pretty much charges everything. You will also find that the mouse only takes a few minutes to grab a pretty sizeable charge to last you the whole day.

Have fun!
 
thank you all for the congrats..., i love it but it seems to be a whole new learning experience.

NOW! how do i set up my email?

when i went thru the initial start up there was tag that said something about importing from the old computer, i chose to do it later due to possibly importing a virus so i could install my anti virus first, now i can not find the option to download now..,help!!!

The two ports on the back are thunderbolt ports - external displays, drives, docks. They can handle input and output.
