If you take a look now, it has stretched even further out to 1-2 weeks!

Interestingly, if you option the i5 up to the i7, it goes back to 7-10 days. Now that is strange!

Does that mean my order will be delayed? It was ordered when it said 7-10 days. Now that it has gone to 1-2 weeks, can I expect my order time as promised?
 
Worth the wait

Got my i7 on wednesday hadn't really had much time to play with it till this weekend but thought id post something for you guys still waiting.

Happy as can be, not one problem with it (no screen, HD, flash, etc) it super quick and looks amazing. Definitely worth the wait.

If this black friday sale affects the promised timeframes that the retail channels receive their allocations i am going to ramp up my "communications" with DJs.

It is profoundly insane that customers who purchased though retail stores have had to wait this long allready, if Apple can't fulfill their promise to deliver the retail channel allocations knowing that the sale will increase online orders they are showing a pathetic disregard for their resellers, and customers.

Hopefully the increased delivery times seen on the online store (1-2 weeks) instead of 3-5 days is so that they can still run our orders through and everything will be good. Ill try to confirm this on monday unless someone has time to do it today?
 
Actually I just searched the forums, and found this http://blog.boastr.net/. It is called Better Touch Tool. It puts the middle click option back onto the magic mouse, and lets you ramp up the tracking.

The iMac is much much better to use, now that I have installed this. I would suggest all of you who have one on order, download this ready for when it arrives. (And no, I don't get a kickback! Anyway it is free.)

looks good! thanks mate ill bookmark that for when i finally get my imac - which still hasnt changed its "recovery underway" status :mad:
 
Geez how long is been like that now? Hope it get delivered soon

woke up and found this!!!!!

teaches me a lesson about preordering..
Over the years I have made a number of pre-orders on the release of a new products from Apple. It is certainly a novices mistake not to order direct from Apple Online for pre-orders as they have ALWAYS fulfilled these orders before those from resellers. In saying that, from what I have previously seen, the delay for resellers hadn't been more then a week, not a month which we are seeing at the moment.

I must admit, however, this is the first time that my pre-order with Apple Online will be delivered AFTER orders placed post shipping. I think something definitely went wrong with Apple's ordering system on this occasion. :rolleyes:

My order is currently sitting in Hong Kong with an ETA of 03/12/09.

Guilty as charged, your honour! This is the first time i have bought a new mac, maybe i should have researched it more, or not put so much faith in Apple :)

Ohh well, it will turn up one day and make it all worth while. Thanks for the info, its reassuring to hear that this is an extraordinary situation and not normal :)
 
just joined you guys in the epic wait, ordered an i7.

i'm a little late to the party but i'm sure i'll still miss sleep for weeks

Hopefully yours rocks up super fast and has no problems at all, it would be great to hear from someone who gets theirs with no dramas!

Keep us in the loop how your shipping goes as you find out :)

Wow! Mine is in Sydney as well!

29 Nov 2009 13:31:23 Sydney Shipment In Transit.

It has to travel to Melbourne then out to country Vic, but I couldn't see any reason why I will not get it by Wednesday (even Tuesday if things go well). :)
 
Get mine today - Mac1

Hi All, I get mine today from a Mac1 store. Ordered last Thursday get today. Can't wait. Signing off till I get it, then will post from it. :):D:):D:)

Update on mine - now over a week and flicker free :)

Same - mine is flicker free. Huge, beautiful, and QUIET. Much quieter than the Mac Pro it replaced (speaking of which, anyone interested in a used Mac Pro?). Oh, and it runs cool! That Mac Pro was a little heater, making my little home office quite warm. I'm staying a lot cooler now with the iMac on my desk!

And, I love the magic mouse :) Can't wait until it supports more gestures. Seems wrong that it doesn't support pinch to zoom in iPhoto. I hope they add at least that!
 
Well they got today to get yours shipped Dronus, and then they are in breach. In breach of exactly what I am not sure, but I think it friggin sucks hard.
