What is considered old version and "new" I'm trying to buy Apple iMac MD093LL/A (OLD VERSION) yet its newer than other versions. Which one is right?

I would get the latest version that you can get. It probably not wort the hassle for the few dollars difference between the ʻOld Version" and newer versions. Any way, itʻs an excellent product and has saved my sanity several times and actually saved me money on repairs, without any hassles.

Taylor: One last comment, click on the link below, it will take you to the Amazon page where they are selling the "old version" of the Mac you referenced. Scroll to the middle of the page and you will see a link to the "new version" of the same Mac. I'll leave it to you to make a side by side comparison of the tech specs, software, enhancements. Interesting, Amazon does not list a price of the new Mac. Apple iMac MD093LL/A 21.5-Inch Desktop (OLD VERSION) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Best bet is to contact Apple directly. The "old" version is still being sold, overall has great reviews. See link below. If there is a new version it becomes a cost/benefit decision, i.e. are the new enhancements: 1. Relevant to how you plan to use your Mac? 2. How much more money is a "new" version? If the enhancements are not relevant to you and the new version costs more, you would be better off with the old version. If the price is the same old vs. new buy new. Compared to a Windows PC similarly configured, Windows has the edge on price. Let us know what you learn. Good luck. http://topbestcomputers.com/apple-imac-md093lla-21-5-inch-desktop-computer-review/ Best bet is to contact Apple directly. The "old" version is still being sold, overall has great reviews.

If your getting an apple imac go to apple, you may even get a student discount which saved me $50 on it. But the great thing is I bought it on 2 weeks before the new one come out on May 3rd. Apple exchanged it for the exact same price evne thought I was outside the returns period by a few days. Best part of buying it from Apple they walk you thru the complete set up

This says it is previously installed with OSX Snow leopard, Apple said since it was a 10.7 version it was OSX lion - how can you tell?

Upon purchasing my computer, the specs show "Mac OS X v10.5.6" as my OS. So, I am wondering if there is some information that is screwed up. All I know is my computer came with Snow Leopard on it, and I upgraded it to Mavericks. Let me find the seller of my Mac. I will forward that information to you. They may be able to help you better than I.Upon searching for the seller of my computer, I didn't seem to locate anything other than their name: The Mac Toy Store. I am pretty sure you can Google the name and find their contact information. They were super helpful throughout my purchase. Good luck!!!

Agreed. I'm wanting to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard and then possibly Lion. Purchasing both Snow Leopard and Lion from the Apple site/Mac App Store is cheaper than buying Snow Leopard here. And Mac Store has free shipping on Snow Leopard at the moment. Together, both purchases are about $60, excluding any taxes. I'm sticking with Apple too. EmmKays

The drive works well on my system, an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mountain Lion). I did a quick online search and found users reporting no problems using OS 10.5 (Leopard) and several versions in between. Check your OS and search for the drive and your specific OS

I WAS USING 10.3 on my white macbook 5.2 and I wanted to upgrade to 10.8 and I had to upgrade to 10.6 before it would let me upgrade to 10.8. I went on amazon and found a used 10.6 which was about 1/3 of the price of 10.6 new. then I went to apple apps store and bought and downed loaded 10.8 and everything was fine.

An old version can be a model made 3 or 4 years ago. My suggestion is buy newest version on apple products

760 is the newer version. I didn't even know you could install graphics cards on iMacs. You might able to on the older mac pros.

Hi! It means there is a more recent edition available, but this one is still fully functional. This one is the 7.0 upgrade which was first available in 2002. The platforms it called for when originally produced were Windows NT / 98 / 2000 / Me / XP / 95. I believe it's the last one they made before it became the CD versions. I don't know a lot more about it than that unfortunately. The copy I am offering is brand new - still shrinkwrapped. I hope this answers your questions.

new version: faster processor better power management (longer battery). Nothing that my wife noticed to be honest. For more details just type into your search engine "Mac Air old vs new" and you will get several more professional comparisons

Your MBA is the same as mine and this AppleCare worked fine for me. The 'old version' refers to the AppleCare package itself, I believe. Anyway, they email you a scan of the box and a legitimate receipt, both of which are necessary to validate your AppleCare with Apple and prove that you bought it from a legit dealer, if you need to use it. The email confirmation of the order indicates that it was 'shipped' and I mistakenly thought something was going to be mailed. The email scan and receipt is all you will receive and actually need. I consider my transaction to have been a good deal.

but is this (or other dig cameras) compatible w/older Macs, like the antiquated imac OS 8.5 that I own??? I've gotten conflicting answers to that question from local computer and/or camera salespeople. The camera salespeople say yes, no problem w/your old mac - just download via cable to usb after installing driver on cd. the mac specialist salesguy claimed my imac was too old a system for digital camera compatiblity. but then he was trying to sell me a new Macbook. So - what's the truth? Thanks for any response!

This worked fine with my Apple MacBook Pro MD101LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (which is the version that first came out in mid-2012) When I went to the Apple store the other day, there was nothing listed as the "newest version" (and it wasn't printed on the box I received from Amazon.) Perhaps this is a designation Amazon has to note as a reseller.

Apple support would be a better source of information about what systems will work on which machine This is not the current operating system for most apple computers Check apple support about upgrading

The Apple Website says as of 6pm today all new Imac's are preinstalled with Leopard. I wonder when Amazon will start doing the same.
