I just got one of the new iMacs today and when I ordered it last week I got a link to that online tiger seminar. When i click to play the seminar in safari it says I need quicktime 7 and tiger, which I clearly have since this is a brand new machine. What's going on? Has anyone else had this?
 
are you sure tiger is pre-installed? sorry if this sounds like a dumb question!
I know with some Macs they are sending the Discs out afterwards.
Apple Menu>About this Mac's the fastest way!

yes, extremely sure. I just fired off an email to support, hopefully they can solve it.
 
I got that too, all you have to do is click it, and when it says you need QT 7, close it and close the other QuickTime window that appears automatically (but don't quit QuickTime) then click the play link again. It will work then. No idea why it happens like that, but there you go. The video is actually pretty nice.

Hmmm, that didn't work either, oh well. I'll see what they say when they email me back.
