    I have an old iMac and am thinking of getting an iMac intel. Do I need a different type of usb and firewire cords to work with the new one?

    What type of Firewire cable do you have?
    If our not sure then first look up your computer with the serial number here,
    http://support.apple.com/specs/
    Then take a look at the specs for the new iMac here and see if you have compatible cable,

  • New iMacs and second display

    I'm looking at getting a new 20" iMac and looking at both versions. My main concern is that I already have an older Apple 20" cinema display (the kind with 2 plastic legs) that I want to hook up as a second, extended desktop monitor.
    The first iMac has an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB memory. Can this run a second 20" display or will there be significant slowdown?
    The more expensive iMac has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory. Clearly this is better with more memory but will there be a huge difference that I would notice in every day use, enough to warrant the extra cost?
    I don't do any videos or 3d rendering, I work in Photoshop and Illustrator a lot on 2d graphics, sometimes pretty large but hardly ever over 200 MB.

    I have the 24" imac intel duo 2.4, tried running my apple ADC 15" via the ADC to DVI converter that I used to use on my G5. The converter is more or less a power supply but it requires that you plug into a computer USB (not on a hub, even a powered one) port. This started making the imac act wierd and during a disk verification, it came up with several USBF errors, locked up a few times with the spinning beach ball. I disconnected the display and usb plug and everything works just fine. I also have a ADC 20" cinema that has superb color and is the closest thing to the press we print on. Even tho I try to do things by the numbers, it's nice to have a calibrated screen and the new imacs (even with custom profile) is still off. I'm sad that I won't be able to have the extended desktop until i either buy a dvi version or a new 20 from apple ($500 refurb). Anyone have any experience using the converter successfully?

  • I have a Thunderbolt iMac 27" with a Thunderbolt Display attached.  I would like to use the iMac and Thunderbolt display in Target Display Mode for my new Thunderbolt MacBook Pro.  So far, it seems I can only use the iMac screen itself.  How do I do this?

    When I press the Command + F2, the iMac screen becomes a secondary for the MacBook Pro, and the Thunderbolt Display becomes the primary screen for the iMac.  I was hoping that both screens would become secondaries for the MacBook Pro.  Does anyone know how I should proceed?  I have tried to connect the Thunderbolt display directly to the MacBook Pro, and the iMac to the Thunderbolt Display via the separate Thunderbolt cable, but there was no difference.  And since the MacBook Pro only has the one Thunderbolt port, I'm not sure how to proceed.

    Yes, eww, the language definitely states two thunderbolt displays, but I can understand the confusion and was siding with how they could make the mistake to think it would work like they want it to. My appologies for not being clear on that point, but I think you make it clear that the language in the ad says nothing about an imac.
    Having said that all the language about TB would suggest that this would be possible. http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt/
    High performance on display.
    Thunderbolt I/O technology provides native support for the Apple Thunderbolt Display and Mini DisplayPort displays. It also supports DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, and VGA displays through the use of existing adapters. So you can connect your Apple LED Cinema Display or other display, along with multiple high-speed devices, all from a single port.

  • DVI KVM switch to use with iMac and Cinema Display

    I currently have a 20" iMac that I use with a 20" Cinema Display. I'd like to share the Cinema display between the iMac and a Dell computer. Assuming this can be done, are there any recommendations for a DVI-KVM switch? Most important is no loss in video quality when the Cinema display is used with the iMac. The Dell is seldom used and even a straight DVI switch without mouse and keyboard sharing would be OK.
     20" Intel iMac + Cinema Display + Sony HDR-HC7 HD camera   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   All tools, no talent!

    I am also trying to link a Mac Mini and a HP PC with an nVidia FX5500 graphics card via a KVM switch. The mini works fine but the PC does not sync up and the screen is blank and the little white light on the lower right is blinking.
    Any news on your question would be appreciated

  • Is imac and cinema display the same quality monitor?

    I'm looking to buy an imac but am really concerned about color quality. I currently have a cinema display and looking at this as a second computer. I've read some posts that suggest that the display technology in the imac is different than the quality of the display of the cinema displays. Yet from looking at the tech specs they appear pretty identical other than the glossy cover. Is this true?

    The 24" iMac should have the same image quality as a Cinema Display. The 20" iMac uses an inferior display.

  • G5 iMac and 20" Display

    The Apple Store states that the minimum spec required to run an ACD is an intel iMac. I "only" have a G5 iMac, will I be able to hook up a 20" ACD to extend my desktop?
    Cheers

    You can't connect the 20" ACD to a G5 iMac because the G5 iMac only supports VGA external displays. You need DVI for the Apple 20". If you get a non-Apple display with a VGA port, there is a patch that may allow you to use extended desktop. Heed the warnings.

  • IMac and Cinema Display cable winders

    Does anyone know where you can get those cool little flat squareish cable winders that you can stick onto the back of iMac's and Cinema displays.
    They look sort of like this sketch

  • I have upgraded my iMac and now photos from before 2010 won't open?

    I have bought a new iMac and have transferred my photos using an external HD. I copied the photo library and it updated it. All the thumbnails appear but when I select an image it just shows a warning triangle (although the thumbnails are available along the bottom). I have gone back to my old iMac and tried the rebuild options and have tried those on the new one too but to no avail. I can't seem to find the originals on either computer. The is a folder called Data and there are .jpg files in there but they are all very small e.g. 44kb.
    I am very confused and also nervous that I have lost thousands of precious moments! Please help if possible.

    That triangle appears when iPhoto has broken the file path or link to the orignal image file.
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do I remove my AddressBook folder from dropbox on my old imac and transfer it to my new imac with lion so I can use iCloud?

    How do I remove my Address Book folder from dropbox on my old Imac and move it to my new mac so I can use icloud

    Is there a reason that you don't want to use Migration Assistant to automatically transfer all your user files from one Mac to the other?
    If you absolutely want to do it manually, copy the contents of the user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder from the old Mac to the new. Use Dropbox or a flash drive or whatever you prefer, but it must end up in the same location you copied it from. You must hold down the Option key and click the Go menu in Finder to see the Library folder, or use Go - Go to Folder and type in "~/Library".

  • I have a new MBAir 2013 13", and I had a MBPro 2010 13". I've installed iPhoto 9.4.3 but now iPhoto says my library (stored on an external HDD) cannot be read until I update the software because it's made with an updated iPhoto... but it IS updated!

    As the tile says, I've recently bought a MBAir 2013 13". When I installed and updated iPhoto, I wanted to use my library, stored on an external hdd, which I used until the day before on my old MBPro 2010 13", without any problems. Now iPhoto says that this library cannot be opened by my iPhoto but it has to be opened with an updated iPhoto... but I had iPhoto 9.4.3 on my MBPro and I have iPhoto 9.4.3 on my MBAir! What can I do? Thanks a lot (sorry for my english, I'm Italian)

    It's mac os format
    BTW I solved my issue! I repaired my library with the last option... and I did not lost anything thanks anyway!

  • Bootcamp and Windows XP on Mid 2010 Imac 21.5"

    I updated my mid 2010 21.5" imac from to 10.9.2 over the years.  I originally used bootcamp to install Windows XP.  The version of bootcamp in 10.9.2 no longer supports Windows XP.  How do I get the old version of bootcamp back from my install disc?  I bought Windows 8, only to find out my Imac will not support it.  I really do not want to have to buy a 3rd version of Windows (Windows 7).
    Thank You
    Dale

    Bob is right, if you want both OSX and boot camp, you can't have it both ways meaning you can't keep upgrading to the newest OSX (Mavericks 10.9.2) if it no longer supports XP in boot camp. Pick the one that's most important and go from there so if you really really need XP, then you'll have to live with 'freezing' your machine on the lastest OSX version that supports XP in boot camp.

  • Which imacs and apple displays connect to late 2008 aluminum macbook 13 inch for use as external display?

    I have a late 2008 13 inch aluminum macbook and want to purchase an iMac computer or apple display to use as an external display for it while I'm at my desk.
    I can afford up to $700 for sure, maybe up to $1000 and would like one that has built in camera and audio if possible.
    I'd like to know what my options are as it seems not all are compatible.
    I'll mostly be doing web browsing and photo editing in Aperture.
    Also wondering if it's possible to sync 2 computers so that when you make changes on one it reflects the changes in the other. Like you can with certain apps like Evernote.
    Thank you for your help!

    Yes he is right, Snow Leopard is your first step.  Once you have that you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion if memory serves me correct.  Some people were saying that Lion was a little sluggish with the aluminum MacBook but that Mountain Lion was great.  Personally I had Lion on it also and didn't think it ran badly.  10.6 was still with Rosetta (the program that ran power pc apps) but this is dropped on 10.7 and up.  Up until just the other day I still had the stock 2 gb of ram.  The firmware update happens with Snow Leopard and up so it should come up as a software update.  If not, it can be done manually as well.  The ram I purchased was 60 bucks for the 8 gb.  For Lion and Mountain Lion I have to agree with the above reply, that it would run alot better with at least 4 gb.  If you run that many apps at once then you are going to want as much ram as you can get.  If you add a solid state drive you will be amazed at the difference it will make too.
