A large box was delivered just after 12 today, containing a Shiny Purple iMac and its assorted bits. No receipt or delivery note, no install disks nuffin!
Connected it all up, plugged in my Time Machine backup using a USB-C adaptor & copied everything across.
Good news: All hardware seems to work, external drives, trackpad, SD card reader, printer & Apple DVD SuperDuperdrive (has to be connected directly, not via a hub)
I had to install up to date versions of few things such as Garmin Basecamp & VLC. The Retroactive hack worked to bring Aperture back to life, though it had lost my library(now found).
Bad news. A lot of my saved passwords are missing from Safari. Unless I can work out where they are I'm going to have a bit of resetting to do.
I had Rosetta Stone language software installed which is 32 bit so now no longer works. I shall have to see if there are any workarounds.
Fonts seem rather small .
I've let it go to "sleep", come back & the keyboard & trackpad have been unresponsive
The purple isn't too offensive. I actually wish they'd kept the metallic purple from the back on the "chin" instead of the faded lilac they've used.
