I just checked mine and it has not changed. I'm happy for you guys, but I am so frustrated. They should be shipping these in order. I have the same system: 3.06 ghz, 4gb, 4850, 1 TB. Seriously... Grrr... Arg....
 
My status just changed on my 24" 4850 order.

Went from:

Not Yet Shipped
Ships: April 27
Delivers: April 28

to

Not Yet Shipped
Ships: 4 - 6 business days
Delivers: Apr 23 - Apr 27


But with the lock up reports...is this good?

It is 8:30 AM in China where these are built. Evidently they are updating orders this morning (tomorrow morning my time).

Apple took me that mine was not being assembled in China but in California. So China may not have anything to do with this. Lets hope the lock ups are a thing of the past. Now things are starting to move Finally!!! :D
 
When my Status Changed from:

Not Yet Shipped
Ships May 4th
Delivers May 5th

To:

Ships in 4-6 Business Days
Delivers April 23-April 27

I have num keyboard and Bento2 preinstalled so it may slow it down somewhat but maybe not. Woo- Hoo soon we will get our iMacs!!

Those of you whose status has not changed yet, keep checking throughout the night, they might change tonight. Are we pumped? or What? :D
 
I made the assumption that they were assembled in China. The Minis are.

That may be true for the Mini's but for the iMac's Apple did tell me that they are assembled and shipped from California as far as the iMacs are concerned. Lets hope she knew what she was talking about. I have nothing against the Chinese, I married one, :D, but I would rather California put mine together.
No offense China.
 
mine got changed to the 4-6 days as well...kind of annoying though if you think about it, because all of a sudden we have this estimate time that is the same amount around that the store has been the past 2 weeks for new orders...so people just ordered last week and have the same wait time as us...pretty wonderful
 
mine has changed now too to 4-6 days.

just to for the people that dont want to go back, i ordered:

3.06 with 4850 and num keyboard on 3/29 and im in california.
 
Mine also changed to 4-6 days but I'm not sure if I want it now that we see all these people with freeze ups with this card.
 
Mine is still Not Yet Shipped (ordered 3/16) and status hasn't changed, but it does ship april 20th :D

Guess I'll be checking all night, i'm pumped! A little worried about the freezing though, but I'm betting that I'll get a good one :eek:
 
Don't sweat the shipping time fellas. It's probably going to lock up on you once it does arrive. With any luck, perhaps Apple will have a fix out before your machine arrives...

The irony of it all: those that had their shipping delayed may end up being better off in the end!

If I missed anyone let us know post your name to the list or start another one. The above people are still waiting for their iMacs and to my knowledge are located in the USA. If you are not located in the USA your name was not put on this list. Reason: I think there is more delay in the USA than anywhere else.

PLEASE STATE YOUR LOCATION WHEN WANTING TO BE ADDED TO THIS LIST SO I KNOW YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE USA. REMEMBER I AM ONLY ADDING iMac's THAT ARE IN USA AT THIS TIME. THANKS!

Lets hope that they do not lock up and that 10.5.7 will be released in the meantime and maybe fix some of these problems. We don't need anymore of them going back to Apple after we just get our hands on them. Bryan could be right, the delay could work out to our benefit and they may have a fix for us so they don't lock up from day 1. ;)
 
First mac after years of pc. Ordered 3.06 w/ 4850 on April 3rd. Original ship date of May 8 and delivery of May 15th to CO, USA. Called apple two days ago and got delivery bumped to two-day. Now shows shipping in 4-6 days with delivery between Apr 23-27. Hope this is true.

It appears that Apple is trying to do a Mast Delivery during the April 23-April 27th time frame. If this is true? Can Apple do it all in that time period? That later orderers did not have to go through the waiting time some of us had to endure. I am not too bad but some of you waited more than 45 days.
 
Hey just confirming iMac with 4850 arrived yesterday. I placed my order march 3 and i live in the US.
