From: Michael Neuhaus on 17 Mar 2010 22:18 I'm trying to help my 83 year old father. He's having trouble reading the setup booklet that came with the 27" 3.06 model. Does anyone know of an online pdf or some tech site that might have something we can download? I'm a windows tech but know nothing about Macs. Many thanks in advance.

He should be able to plug in the keyboard, plug the machine into the wall, and just follow instructions to set it up. If he has ethernet nearby, he may want to plug in the ethernet too.

We don't have the machine in it's final spot so were waiting a few days to do internet, email, and data transfer. It said wireless somewhere and I thought it might connect to the wireless router in his room but also saw that the mouse and keyboard are wireless so I wasn't sure if the iMac was, similar to laptops. I have the flu and he just got over it so it's a little hard to concentrate. I'll suggest he delay this a few days except for reading the manuals. I got the impression the email and internet could be done later. The machine seems stuck on Danish and nothing will make it scroll. I'm sure the manual has the answer. thank you all again. After seeing so many people fight in these newsgroups, it's nice the Mac people are helpful as I was told.

I'm sorry, I should have said he turned it on and it was stuck on Danish and the kb and mouse wouldn't make it change. We turned it off and it went to English and we'll finish tomorrow. I didn't know he hadn't turned it off to try again. Thank you all for your help. |
