Hi Henry,

There is know exact way to find out when you iMac was "built" but you can find out the year it was released and the version it is running.

1. Go to the  logo in the top left corner of your iMac

2.Select About this Mac

3.Click More Info...

4. You will see 4 tabs "Overview,Displays,Storage,Memory" Make sure that you are on Overview

5. It will look like this you will see below iMac it will sa the model of you iMac

Depending on the OS you are running, you can find it in About this Mac (Apple menu), More Info...

On newer OS’s it will be right on the Overview, or on older OS’s you will be taken to System Information (or System Profiler).

The model identifier can be found in the Hardware Overview.

You can cross check the model number or identifier here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1758?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

You can enter your Mac's serial number on this site and it tells you the week of manufacture.
