Hmmmm...maybe mine will be "Prepared for Shipment" at some point in time during the evening yet. I ordered mine the same day, and its only about 8:32 Central Time, so possibly it could go "Prepared for Shipment" soon....
Got a tip for us?

I ordered mine 10pm Pacific on the 13th and mine still says nothing at all. Please just let it be prepared tonight. Lol. The suspense is killing me. To make matters worse I've got all my old gaming PC parts for sale on eBay right now and those auctions are ending tomorrow. I'm addicted to checking the status on everything constantly. I think I've gone crazy

I think i've gone crazier then you. Not only am I constantly checking my status, my e-mails, I am also watching YouTube videos of people unpacking their new Aluminum iMac Computers. LOL it's the only thing that is really subsiding these feelings of anxiety.
How in gods name did I end up in this MESS along with the rest of you!! I can't wait any longer!

Nothing worse than seeing no little red marker on my apple mail or iphone AND no change on the web status. Ugh. I loathe everybody else who's received theirs or has one on the way.

hahaha I agree. It is just about 11:30 AM in China right now. There is potential that it it may ship during their work day.
FedEX is really bad at updating their shipping status. (Yeah.. I am just now realizing this)
I recently checked my status, no update. Then just now I checked again. Somehow, magically, I have been updated with things that happened over 10 hours ago. Hm.. Maybe I'll get my new Mac today?! Doubt it. I can't wait though!

Why are so many posters around here so condescending? I am not "knew to Mac" at all.

For any Australian readers out there, I received my new iMac this morning. From clearing customs in Sydney yesterday evening, it was delivered to country Victoria this morning. It arrived one day prior to Apple's original estimate. Thanks Apple and TNT!
Now if I could just get a chance to use the thing, it is still transferring my files from my old iMac G5....

Off topic
LOL... so true. I have a friend who used Mac before I did, he always tells me "once you know Apple better" ...sheesh. And he thought the leaked keyboard pics were fake, said keyboard was too ugly to be made by Apple. After Steve Job's conference, same friend started telling me why the flat keyboard was so brilliant...
Hey, it's perfectly normal... I was doing the same!
Quick update after using the new iMac:
- The glossy screen does create some issues, depending on what you are looking at. In a lit room, watching dark scenes in a movie makes you see your reflection instead. Even now in the daytime, with the daylight coming through the window 3 metres behind me, I can clearly see reflections. However, whether the reflections bother you, it's really a personal issue. It only bothers me when the reflection is forcing me to change position in order to read or see something more clearly, such as when editing photos. I've had to reposition the screen (push a bit to the left or right) SEVERAL times already to avoid the reflecting glare, again depending on which part of the screen I was looking at.
- The keyboard is really low, you can't prop it any higher (no flip out tabs under keyboard). I personally don't like it, feels like I have to force my hands closer to the table and it's tiring. BTW by default the F1-F12 keys are configured with brightness, volume, etc - but you can change that in the settings to have your regular function keys.
- The bluetooth mouse is okay. The only thing is the 24" screen is so large, takes a while to move the mouse side to side
and I have it on the fastest speed.- Speakers as usual are good for in-built speakers. They are definitely better than any cheap speakers. (I use large Sony speakers on my other machine though, which are obviously better)
- The iMac itself can actually tilt quite a lot! I can tilt it up to a point where the screen is facing me correctly while I am standing up.
- Currently with the basic 1G of RAM, no problems using the iMac. Of course I haven't started anything too intensive yet, but it's good to know that start times are fast, etc. My iMac has the 2,8Ghz cpu btw.
- The slot loading Superdrive feels a bit different than the previous iMac, seems like you really have to push the CD all the way in, it doesn't really grab it that much. First time I put a CD in, I thought the mechanism was broken, lol. I can't remember it was already like that in the previous iMac (used it last year, so been a while)
Ugh. Mine STILL is showing no new status. This is getting really depressing. Maybe I'll call my Apple store today to see if they have any. If it hasn't shipped is it possible to cancel the online order? If it does ship, can I return it to an Apple store if I end up buying one locally? The only reason I ordered online is because they didn't have any in the store on Monday.
stay on topic, stop complaining, good Lord people
Oh good God. Why are you so easily offended, and think everything is about you. I'm the one who posted that about the wireless keyboard. Have you ever given a thought to the fact that maybe I wasn't writing it specifically to you?! I'm new to this forum (yesterday actually) and I had read dozens of the posts in this topic talking abuot "why this" "why that" about the keyboard.
I thought I was just "helping" by giving the answer I did. If it wasn't any help to you I'm sorry. I don't know your life story nor did you bother to share it with me, so grow up, you're the one on the high horse!!!!
Just a reminder (not to be condescending) but there are plenty of forums I visit where I come across info that isn't any use to me. But I don't waste other poeples time saying.
have a good day

I was wondering the same thing...also...if you purchase an iMac from a local retail Apple store and, say there's a problem and it needs to be exchanged, do you have to go back to the Apple store (closest is 2.5 hours from here) or can you go through online support and send it in for an exchange and/or repair?
Ordered mine 8/16 (yesterday) and, of course, it's still in the "not yet shipped" phase-supposed to ship out by August 23-27. They have them in at the local AIS computer store here and they said that they were supposed to get the 2.8 model in this week (which is what I have on order). They already have the 24" 2.4 ghz...sooooo tempting. But they have zero returns policy if there's a problem and you need to do an exchange it's between you and Apple and there's a 15% re-stocking fee if you want to return it. And I was buying through Apple to take advantage of the $100.00 off printer promotion-still, instant gratification factor is strong. If they get the 2.8 in today it'll be a true test of willpower (and logic).
Update (10:10am):
"Shipped": Friday(aug 17) 8:15am eastern
and
Canon printer arrived this morning from California
note: FedEx shows it's status as "Package data transmitted". As others have mentioned FedEx has a pretty major delay in their information for tracking.
I'll post more updates as it progresses.
Update (11am):
tracking shows package received but...
something else refers to "received after FedEx cutoff". looks like it won't ship out of China on their Friday.
Hmm, but if you purchased at the Apple store it seems like there shouldn't be a restocking fee, right?
*Edit* Nevermind, just talked to apple store people and they said things that aren't small like cables, etc. Larger purchases would have to be shipped back to Apple.
Ugh, mine is listed as "In Transit," but still in Shanghai. What, is it seeing the sights before it leaves?? It was picked up over 24 hours ago. Delivery estimate changed from the 20th to the 21st.
Same here. I called FedEX though and they looked up my tracking information and told me it's awaiting customs in Alaska. So they online stuff is just delayed. Also, FedEX by default is moving all orders back one day as a buffer because of some Volcano that could potentially delay flights.
So after calling Apple again, about my iMac, I got in the know on things. It is confirmed that my iMac is somewhere "Over Seas" AKA China. Now the waiting game begins.
