Alex

I'm going to call Apple Customer service tomorrow, I think this is a bad/defective superdrive. Hopefully I can get it replaced under warranty, and have the work done here in town, I would hate to send it away, this is my main unit for my small business.... I think I am just talking to myself at this point....

  • New IMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 will not burn to CDR media

    I have a new IMac IMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 that will not burn to CDR media. When I insert a blank CDR it immediately opens DiskUtility. But I can't burn to the CD; it does not recogize the disk. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to diagnose if my CD burner is defective and was shipped to me defective. I didnt discover this problem until after I had the computer for, say, a month and then found I could not burn to my supply [of some 80+] blank CDRs.

  • How do I mirror my 24"iMac 2.8GHz Intel core 2 duo to my Apple TV? I am running Mountain Lion and My iMac is an early 2008 model. Thanks

    I purchased Apple TV yesterday strictly to mirror my desktop to my TV. Now I find out my desktop is not supported? How can I mirror my iMac to my Apple TV? I am running Mountain Lion and the iMac is a 2.8 GHz with intel core 2 duo from early 2008.
    Thanks for your help!

    You cannot officially do this Apple's way as they do not support your computer for Airplay.
    There is a software solution called Airparrot that you may want to demo:

    Some people are pleased with it othes not so much.

  • OS X Lion, Slowing down an iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    My iMac may not be the fastest machine out there, but it is fast enough to run Lion.  Yet it seems that it is requiring a significant amount of resources, more than it really should. 
    Switching users, Running Office 2011, Photoshop CS4, and various other programs seems to choke after opening up.  I have enough ram, I am going to be upgrading my computer to a new one soon, but I still would like to know why this is happening?
    Is there a way to do a clean install of Lion? Perhaps this may fix a few issues, but either way I need some help I think.

    Switching users, Running Office 2011, Photoshop CS4, and various other programs seems to choke after opening up.
    Both Photoshop and the Office applications are RAM hungry applications but my experience with a Core 2 Duo computer with 4GB is that it is up to the challenge of running any two of them plus one or two smaller applications. For example, late last week I was working on a project with Filemaker Pro, Photoshop, RapidWeaver, and Word running. I didn't notice that my computer was any slower with Lion than it was with Snow Leopard. Now I'll admit, I upgraded my MBP to 8GB two days ago and there's a noticeable difference. Prior to the upgrade I found that Aperture and Photoshop running together was fine but I really couldn't add anything else to the mix without switching between two programs becoming noticably slow. But I never saw Lion 'choke'.
    So what I'm saying is depending on how you use your computer, RAM (and avaiilable drive space) play a large roll in how fast Lion feels. I think 4GB is plenty for many people but some will definitely benefit from 8GB. And if you don't have 10-15GB of free hard drive space, this could be another factor.

  • I have: iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core i3, 4GB RAM, OS 10.7.5.  It seems that a few times a day, the internet turns off and I need to turn OFF and then ON. There has also been about 3x in a week where everything freezes and I have to power down.  What can I do?

    What can I do to find out what's wrong with my iMac?
    Internet keeps shutting down. I have to turn OFF and then ON. Sometimes, I'm just browsing the web, sometimes on Facebook and lately it happens when I'm on Dropbox uploading.
    A few times while editing photos on Lightroom or Photoshop the computer will freeze and I can't do anything but power off ..
    What can I do to see what's wrong with my iMac?
    Thanks so much!

    Hi! Thanks for the reply..
    No, I do not get any prompt whatsoever.. I can move the mouse but cannot click on anything.. Just frozen screen, can't close a window, can't click on apple symbol on top to try to force quit an app.. 

  • IWeb 2.0.1 vs 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme iMac

    I'm attempting to run iWeb 2.0.1 on a new 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme iMac.
    It crashes at startup, always, but oddly.
    It opens and partially operates, but won't display the iWeb window. The menus are operational, but of course mostly dimmed since there's no object there to receive the commands. (For example, all File > New choices are dimmed.)
    This is clean machine - no previous iWeb sites to convert.
    In fact, iWeb doesn't create a ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites or domain.sites2 file when it opens.
    Creating one on another system, transferring it, adjusting permissions, and opening it locked iWeb up entirely.
    Creating a new user account and opening iWeb in it has no effect. Nor does logging on as root.
    Deleting the entire iLife '08 suite, reinstalling from scratch, running Software Update, and then opening iWeb produces the same result. All the other iLife apps run fine.
    Is anyone else able to get iWeb 2.0.1 to run on an Intel Core 2 Extreme system? It's DOA so far as I can tell.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    I've run out of espresso, and ideas.
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    I was unable to launch iWeb 2.0 at first, but it turned out to be corrupted font caches. You can use the free Font Nuke program to delete your font caches (a harmless process):
    <http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21536>
    It's worth a try. Corrupt font caches can cause all sorts of inexplicable system problems.

  • IMac 24" - 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or Extreme? Confused

    Hey there, sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I recently bought the top model iMac 24", which is advertised as coming with a 2.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Extreme processor. However, when I got to 'About My Mac' it say it's a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Am I being stupid, or is this not right? Thanks

    The Intel iMacs (and Mac Mini) have always used laptop processors: Initially the Core Duo - Yonah, then the Core 2 Duo - Merom and now the Core 2 Extreme - *Merom Extreme*. 
    Apple doesn't use any of the faster, cheaper, desktop Intel processors (like the desktop Core 2 Duo which is called Conroe ). The Mac Pros use the workstation/server processors Woodcrest or Clovertown.
    <hr width="200">
    Guilty Party,
    My Core 2 Extreme 2.8GHz reads Core 2 Duo too. Now I accept that these are both basically the same processor but I rather think OS X should report the processor fully so have left feedback to Apple to request the change.
    cheers

  • HT201364 I'm currently running OS-10.6.8 on my IMAC with an Intel Core 2 duo and would like to update to at lease 10.7

    I'm currently running OS-10.6.8 on my IMAC with an Intel Core 2 duo and would like to update to at lease 10.7. Can this be done and if so how?

    Only if you cannot upgrade to Mavericks.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Is RAM and OS for iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo upgradeable?

    Can the RAM and OS for a iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM, 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, MAC OS X 10.6.8 be upgraded?  Looking to upgrade to 4 GB RAM and OS X 10.8.  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course you can upgrade RAM. You have a Late 2006 iMac, which supports 4 GB of RAM. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_2006
    This Mac can't be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion because OS X Mountain Lion needs a Mid 2007 or newer iMac. Instead, you can upgrade to OS X Lion by calling Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

    What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

    As your Mac should run Snow Leopard provided it has at least 1GB memory, that would be a good deal easier and very much cheaper than trying to find a 10.5 install disc.
    Snow Leopard costs $30 approx from the online Apple store (£26 if you're in UK)
    You'll need to update Tiger to 10.4.11 with the combo installer first (unless you're just erasing the disc and starting fresh) You can then update SL from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with its combo installer.
    For comparison, 10.5 Leopard is currently running about $130 from Apple (if still available) and more on Amazon etc.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion.  However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine

    I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion.  However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine than using Snow Leopard?

    Which iMac?  Which Macbook?   Both have had several model
    itertations, even within the framework of a Core2Duo processor.
    With that said, I have an early 2009 iMac 24", with 2.66 GHz
    Core2Duo with 8 gig of RAM, and in my opinion, seems to be running
    smoother and faster with Lion.

  • IMac (3.4gHz Intel Core i7) shuts down when sleeps, then won't restart

    Just bought a brand new 27" iMac (3.4gHz Intel Core i7) which shuts down when sleeps, then won't restart (ie completely dead).
    In order to restart, I have to unplug the power cord from the computer, hold power key down for 10secs, replug in and it then starts up. I returned to the store and they spent a couple days letting it go to sleep etc and overnight and for them it was fine. Woke up no problems. They returned it to me yesterday.
    So I set it all up again, left it overnight and this morning it was dead again. So now it leaves me to wonder if it's something I have plugged into it.
    I have a new Seagate 3TB external hard drive hooked up using USB3.0. This is plugged directly into the back of the computer.
    I also have a powered USB hub plugged into the computer which has regular USB stuff such as printer, graphics tablet and another external hard drive (this one is older LaCie 500gb, and have put it into a new USB 3.0 case as well for the arrival of the new iMac (this had an old firewire hard drive case). However this hard drive is switched off at the case and is not being used.
    I believe it could possibly be the Seagate 3TB disk causing this problem, but it works fine during the day while I am using the computer, it's just when I either leave it at lunch time to go to a meeting or walk etc or overnight that I come back and it has shut down....leaving me to believe that it's due to the computer going to sleep.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem with a Seagate drive? Today I'm conducting an experiment and heading off for lunch with both hard drives unhooked. If I come back and the computer wakes up from a click of the mouse or keyboard as it should, I will plug in one hard drive at a time and re-test. I will leave the Seagate for last, as I don't think it is the old LaCie disk (which is off).
    For reference sake, I also have a NAS running off my network through Airport Extreme etc and have my old iMac hooked up to the network too, but don't believe this is the problem.
    Initially I did put in some after market RAM (another 8GB) and though that might be the problem, but I removed and it still reacted the same way (plus store I bought it from again booted up fine and woke up fine at their shop after I had taken RAM out too).
    Will keep this post updated with my next test (letting computer sleep without either hard drive in), but keen to hear if anyone has had any similar experiences with Seagate disks/cases and the new iMacs.
    Cheers,
    Kristin

    Hey kristinandmike,
    I had a similar problem shortly after I bought my 27" iMac. Here is an excerpt from my discussion:
    "As BDAqua suggested, I started the process of elimination by shutting down the externals and just leaving up one of the USB drives and using the computer until time to shut it off. After eliminating 2 of the 3 drives I figured it had to be the last one. That drive is a Seagate GoFlex Desk version that allows different bases with differing connectivity. I had previously used FW800 to connect but had switched to USB3 on the new computer. I went ahead and got a Thunderbolt to FW adaptor cable and switched this drive back to Firewire rather than USB3. So far so good."
    For some reason the Seagate I was using didn't agree with the USB3 on the Mac.

    Your Mac is definitely one of the supported models? http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/
    If so, what happens when you try to download? Is it a case of nothing happens? If so, take a look at the suggestions under 'Stalled Download' in this link:
    http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
    Also, some usrs have found that logging out of the Mac App Store and then back in again and starting over has kick-started the download. It seems that the 5+gb download can take a long time to give any feedback as to what's happening.
