Can the new maxed out 5k iMac connect up to 2 apple thunderbolt displays?

Is that possible?  Will there be any lags or overheat or any potential problems?

Sure it can. On overheating no one can answer because they simply haven't gotten into the field yet. Look in the help forums in a couple of months to see if you find overheating issues, but remember these forums are like visiting a hospital. You can't get an accurate representation of the whole populations health by what is happening in a hospital.

  • Imac 27 inch with additional Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)

    Hi there,
    Recently I bought a 27 inch iMac. I want to connect my Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch) as a second screen.
    The iMac has 2 thunderbolt ports. Attaching the Thunderbolt Display has no effect, the screen keeps black.
    If I attach my Macbook Air it directly shows a second screen for my Air (so the screen is fine).
    How can I enable the second screen for my iMac ?
    Love to here.

    Try Command + F2
    You should be able to make it work from there

  • There is no display on Apple Thunderbolt display, when Daisy chain connect with six LaCie Little Big Disks.

    Hi, Everyone,
    I have aquestion with Thunderbolt daisy chan.
    I have six LaCie Little Big Disks and Apple Thunderbolt Display to make daisy chan and I got a problem.
    I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront, and Apple Thunderbolt Display does not show anything.
    If I plac the dell u2711 (DP1.1) Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront , dell u2711(DP1.1) displays.
    If I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of  the chain,and five LaCie Little Big Disks infront. Apple Thunderbolt Displays well.
    Is it because the hardware limitation that Thunderbolt daisy chan can only have maximum 6 Thunderbolt deivce?
    Apple Thunderbolt Display Should be DP1.2, why it doesn’t display?
    My workstation running Windows 7x64 or Windows8.1x64
    Thanks ,Myron

    if you reduce the number of disks to 5 and the display works, I think we'll have your answer.

  • Which 3rd party ram can I buy to max out my imac 2.93ghz i7 without the imac shutting down?

    Which 3rd party ram can I buy to max out my imac 2.93ghz i7 without the imac shutting down? I know and apple knows that there is an issue with this but, I'm wondering if there is anyone here that has solved this issue. Apple wants waaaaay too much for 16 gigs of memory.

    There was an issue with mid/late 2010 iMacs mostly, as evidenced in one of the threads:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2588800
    However, I'm not aware of any current or remaining problems. I have a mid 2010 iMac and solved the problem by sticking with a total of 12 GB RAM (4 GB OEM original and 2 x 4 GB added from OWC). So, if you're not sure, contact OWC - they were actively working on the problem last year and if you buy 16 GB from them and they don't work, you can easily return it. Or, be super safe, and stick with a total of 12 GB - I'm finding that 12 is really quite enough even though I do a fair amount of photo, graphics, and video editing.

  • Give it to me straight -- Can the new Quad Core iMac run Maya well?

    Hey all, I've been hunting around the interwebs for reviews of the new 27 inch quad core machine and I'm having a heck of a time tracking down specifics regarding iMacs and their ability to run Maya, After Effects, other adobe programs, etc.
    I'm a student right now, going on four years. I own a small graphic design/animation business and I'm afraid my poor little Macbook Pro is going to keel over on me any day now. I've noticed a drop in performance in the last six months, especially with Maya and After Effects. So I've been evaluating options, and I know it has to run OSX. Windows has only given me headaches in regards to Maya work. In short, it's gonna be a Mac.
    I've priced out a Mac Pro, and I'd rather not spend 3 grand on a machine that doesn't have a monitor, and may have properties that I'm paying for that I don't necessarily need: monstrous expandability, server capabilities, a big-stinking CPU footprint. But the mantra I always hear is "Only pro models can run Maya". So I reluctantly began putting away money for a new Mac Pro, uncertain if I'd be able to afford the software to go with it. Then I read this article:
    http://gizmodo.com/5411073/why-its-gotten-straight-stupid-to-buy-a-mac-pro
    In my mind, this article couldn't be more perfect for my position. It's telling me, "These high end iMacs are almost as powerful as the Mac Pro you can't afford. You can save a thousand bucks off the base computer. It comes with a monitor that you don't have to pay for. " But unfortunately the one question I need answered, that I'm having a heckuva time tracking down is "Can the stinking thing run Maya or can't it?" And if it can, will it be crippled?
    So, please, anyone out there, can the new monster iMac run Maya, and if it can, does it suck at it?

    No, there's no way to talk to Apple technical support via email, and they probably could not or would not be able to answer any questions about performance with third-party products. I doubt that more than a handful of Apple employees, sales rep or tech, would have access to any benchmark data on Maya with any model of Mac, and those Apple people would probably be those working with the Pro VAR channel or directly with large production companies.
    I just got off the phone with an Apple sales associate who emphatically confirmed that the i7 iMac can run "all that Adobe stuff", but she'd never heard of Maya.... fun....
    Not terribly surprising; Maya is pretty specialized and the Apple Store phone reps are generalists working mostly with consumers. Most people running Maya would be working with an Apple VAR or would otherwise have access to specialists. You might try talking to an Apple Pro Video/Film VAR - there are a number around the country though none in Salt Lake, apparently - or asking in the Autodesk forums:
    http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/
    If you search for "iMac", you'll find some comments, though none I can find yet regarding performance with the new iMac models. But if you post asking if anyone has experience with Maya on the i7, you might get useful responses.
    Regards.
    P.S.
    And on top of that I can't buy a 27 inch display separately
    Well, you can, and they're not terribly expensive; under $400.00. But that might be more than your budget could accept, which may be what you meant. I'd elect a smaller primary monitor and go with two displays in any case, even with an iMac. I find it much better for workflow to have a monitor for the primary canvas and a separate one for tool palettes, etc.

  • Can the new 2014 Mini (with Yosemite) be connected to three monitors?

    Can the new Mac Mini drive 3 monitors simultaneously from the two mini displayports and the HDMI port?  When reading the specs I remember reading that it could drive 2 monitors via the mini displayports.  I'm wondering if it can also drive a third monitor thru the HDMI port at the same time.

    No, natively the Min can't drive three monitor.
    For a third monitot you need an addition adopter like:

  • With all the games coming out for iMacs what Gaming Pad or Jotstick works with the Imac

    With all the games coming out for iMacs what Gaming Pad or Jotstick works with the Imac

    Now the bad news. In my "Print to Video" pop up, if
    I select "Color Bars" , "Black", or any other option
    and take out my bars and tone and slug from the
    timeline, the print to video does not print anything
    to tape except for a nice nothing blue. I don't
    even get my actual timeline video printed to tape.
    Jerry,
    You are a genius! Man do I feel silly. So just for the benefit of others who might read this post, I did exactly as you said, and of course when I restarted FCP, I had to identify my Firewire NTSC setting for the drive. This time, instead of leaving my tapedrive offline, I left it on and immediately saw on my drive monitor the video coming off of my timeline.
    Every thing works perfect. I now have a clean timeline with just the content I'm working on and don't have to worry about bars, slugs, post black. Just a few checkboxes and I'm ready to send my tapes off. Really nice feature.
    Thanks!

  • Access model for smart tabs: Can the new tab have a different ACL?

    Access model for smart tabs: Can the new tab have a different access control list then the sources it draws from?
    Scenario: Some lecture content is in a private course viewable to course members only and some is put on a public page viewable to all. Can the content on the smart tab viewable to the public have different permissions?
    Scenario: Public site starts with small number of courses, say 16, located in 4 sections on the main welcome tab. Administrators have edit only rights to the Welcome page and grant editing rights to each of the course pages to others. A few months later the site has more content and decides to change the four sections on the Welcome page to four section pages with courses attached to it. The new pages would have new editors for them. Can the course pages originally located on the main welcome page be restricted to no viewers and smart tabs put in new courses connected to the new section tabs? The thought here is to avoid rebuilding the site as the architecture changes.
    All comments appreciated!

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • What will happen if I pull the new pages out of my applic folder and try to use the 09 pages?

    I'm tired of fighting the new (less functional) Pages.  I created a 16 page newsletter in the 09Pages version but when I opened it today it had been transferred into the newer version and It had lost a bunch of data I had designed into it.  I had gotten instruction from an Apple support person on how to tell it to open in the old version so I quit the new version and opened the old one but it's not working according to her directive.  It keeps telling me I have to download a newer version to open it.  What would happen if I pull the new version out of the applications folder .... will that disable it temporarily and allow me to use only the old version?

    Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
    If you want to keep Pages 5 there are a couple of methods to make Pages 4.3 the default. Just make sure you've reverted or converted any files to iWork '09 format first. If you don't want to keep Pages 5 you can delete it.
    Method 1:
    This was first posted by another user in this forum. I can't remember who or when. It has been "fine-tuned" by Peter Breis & I added a note for what works for me.
    1. Move any new iWork apps in another clearly labelled folder. I created a new folder in Applications & named it iWork 13.
    2. Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy > drag the above folder into the list
    3. Move the new iWork folder into the trash (temporarily)
    4. Select any Pages file in Finder > Menu > Info (cmd+i) > Open with: > Pages '09 > Change all
    5. Retrieve the new iWork folder from the trash (right-click > Put back)
    Pages 5 should no longer appear as a default App, and you won't have to keep a copy in a separate drive or dmg.
    Important: Make a note of where and how Pages was installed for the next App Store update and temporarily move it back there before putting it away again in the folder concealed from Spotlight.
    Method 2:
    This is the one I used based on several posts here shortly after Pages 5 was released. I now use method 1 because I find it easier to apply updates when Apple releases them.
    1. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications."
    2. I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3.
    I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.

  • What third party RAM is equal to "1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x8GB" for the NEW, 27" 2014 4K iMAC and is it advisable to buy instead of the Apple upgraded RAM?

    What third party RAM is as good as the "1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x8GB" upgrade that Apple offers for the NEW, 27" 2014 5K iMAC Retina?
    And is it advisable to buy instead of the Apple upgraded RAM? (my understanding is that third party RAM is not as costly).

    go with one of the quality sources for ram OWC and Crucial are very well thought of
    your options with the 5K  when you buy it are
    8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
    16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x8GB [Add $200.00]
    32GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x8GB [Add $600.00]
    you might  want to go with the 16GB option when you buy if you know you might want to go to 32GB some day as that will get you to 32zb at the lowest cost. or you can start with the 8 and add 8GB sticks as you need them but if you are not happy stopping at 20GB you will end up with a pair of 4GB sticks to try to sell on ebay... or if you are lazy like me you get a couple of extra xmas tree ornaments.. i have 35 years of ram methods on my tree now dating back to the extra ram for my Apple ][ extra 8k and not a few obsolete processor ornaments too... dress em up with glitter so they sparkle
