22 inch LaCie Blue II to new iMac - possible?

I have a new 21" iMac and an old 22 inch LaCie Blue II computer Monitor that I'd like to add as a second monitor because I like the tonal quality for print - is it possible? Will I be able to span or is the old LaCie to slow? Thanks

  • Resolution Problems with 30-inch Apple Display and my new iMac

    I'm not very good at computers, so I could use some help. I just bought a new iMac 24-inch, 3.06 Duo and I have an Apple 30-inch display I had connected to my MacBook Pro. Now I can't get a resolution better than 1280x800 and the cinema screen flickers a bit. I bought a mini-DVI to Dvi Adaptor. What else am I doing wrong? The display is enormous on the cinema display and I need to use that for my photography. Help anyone, please?

    i'm not sure if you area sking this... but it seems like the info about the iMac is not to do with the problem, but your problem is with the 30 inch screen and the macbookPro?
    If you are asking about a macbookPro plugging into the 30 inch screen, these should be able to run full resolution from what i remember,
    you need to check that you are NOT trying to run mirrored desktop as this will limit the resolution to the maximum possible of the smaller display (your macbookpro) which will mean you can only go up to 1280x800 but if you uncheck the 'mirror display' option you should be able to set independent settings for each screen.

  • Snow Leopard on new iMac possible?

    Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on an iMac to be purchased this week.
    I know the official word is no but Leopard runs on my iMac late 2009 which came with SL although one has to double boot.
    I envision a partition with Lion and one with Snow Leopard.
    TIA
    Lewis

    I think so.  If you use Disk Utility to create a new partition on the iMac in Lion then you should be able to restart the iMac, boot from the Snow Leopard installation disk and install Snow Leopard onto the new partition.  Certainly a new iMac should be perfectly capable of running any version of OS X from 10.4 onwards.

  • Adding 30-inch Cinema display to a new iMac. Not getting full resolution.

    I have just bought a new 27-inch quad core imac i5 and have added my old 30-inch cinema display (five years old) as a second monitor but the resolution is poor - 1280 x 800 compared to 2560 x 1440. How do I improve the resolution as it's almost not worth having?

    You need to use a dual-link DVI adaptor to get a higher resolution from that display.

  • New iMac 27" and cannot get it to mount a new LaCie thunderbolt drive. Any suggestions?

    My new iMac 27" finally arrived and seemed to be working fine,until today when I received, from Apple Store, a LaCie d2, 3TB drive. Connected the Thunderbolt cables and powered it up. Rapidly flashing blue light on the drive but it does not mount on the desktop and does not show in the system report. Could be a bad drive or.........
    All help appreciated.

    Can you see the drive in the System Report or Disk Utility?
    One thing I read was that you need to do is to shut down, and unplug everything, your iMac, the Thunderbolt drive, everything. Then reconnect, and start up the iMac. Seems to cure everything.
    If not, return the drive to the Apple store, and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't fix it, then return the iMac within the 14 day no questions asked return period and get a new one. You'll have to move fast.

  • How can i view and upload photos from an older version of iPhoto which are on an external hard drive to my new iMac?  i currently have copied the application version 9.4.2. on my lacie backup and want to view and upload this to my new iPhoto version 9.5.1

    our old iMac died suddenly, but i had backed up the iPhoto application to a lacie external hard drive.   however, when i try to open it in my new iMac which is installed with version 9.5.1 and is upgraded to maverick, it comes up with “cannot be opened, to open you must upgrade to latest version” and then makes you press the quit button.
    the iPhoto version on the external hard drive is iPhoto 9.4.2 which i upgraded on 29/11/12 onto our old iMac (early 2007 version)
    my new iMac is running on version OSX 10.9.1
    i have looked at buying  iphoto library manager and have emailed them about whether this would work, but any advice would be gratefully received as i cannot be the only person that has had this problem but i cannot find any answers that work.
    thanks
    Julie

    YOu can rebuild with Library Manager and this does not require a purchase:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Brand new iMac 27" i3 is flashing blue screen

    My brand new Imac (one-day old) is acting very odd as it slowly flashes a pulsating light blue screen when I try to access Apple Menu (restart/sleep/shutdown) features. No matter what I do it will not turn off. I have since had to do a hard shutdown but now it stops at an error screen upon start-up that tells me to restart!
    I am Mac savvy and this has never happened to me. Prior to this happening, I called Apple Tech Support because I could not use their Mac Migration feature to move my info off of a G4 running 10.4.11. Tech support could not help either as wireless, ethernet and direct Firewire attempts yielded no Migration results. I finally had to pull the hard drive out of the G4 and hooked it up to the new iMac. Everything seemed to transfer except when it was done the contents of what I just copied thru Migration was nowhere to be found. That is when I started experiencing the slow-flash blue screen phenom and is where I am stuck today.
    I am ready to take this thing back. In all my years I have never had a problem like this with an Apple product. Any help or insight will be appreciated.

    ONE
    Paul has given you good advice in that I would reinstall the OS from the supplied disks to get your computer working properly.
    TWO
    Then re-install your old programs (only those you really need since they are likely PowerPC, not “universal” Intel programs) from their original disks.
    THREE
    If you have the user data from the old drive backed up, then hopefully you can restore your user data to the new drive or buy an enclosure and access the old data as needed (which is what I did when originally migrating from a Power Mac G5 to the iMac (late 2009).
    Alternatively, if step ONE is problematic and your machine is defective, you can likely return it to Apple within 14 days (or whatever the law is in your country) for a replacement or refund and purchase a new iMac just released today.  Steps TWO and THREE still apply in this case.

  • Using new iMAC 27 inch as a monitor for Macbook Pro/Air

    Can the new iMac 27 inch be used as a monitor?  If so, while it's being used as a monitor connected to a macbook pro/air, will the iMac USB ports work and the camera for facetime?  Planning on using the laptop in clamshell mode and stored away.

    The new 27-inch iMac can be used as an external display for other Macs with Thunderbolt (Early 2011 and newer MacBooks Pro, and Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
    As far as I know, you can't use the camera (I may be wrong), but you can use the USB ports only for the iMac, not for the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. If you want both features, you have to buy the LED Cinema Display or the Thunderbolt Display

  • I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac.  I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom.  I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac.  I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

    If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

  • LaCie d2 195 GB USB hard drive and new iMac

    Has anybody had a problem with a LaCie d2 drive that is connected via USB instead of FireWire? I have both types of external hard drives; the FireWire connected LaCie has worked flawlessly, as has a Seagate 300GB FireWire drive. But my poor little LaCie 195 GB USB hard drive bit the dust when I tried to copy my iPhoto library from it to the hard drive of my new iMac Intel Core. The entire Mac froze up, even though there was disk activity on the LaCie. After waiting for 25 minutes for the Mac to unfreeze, I finally manually powered down the system. Unfortunately this corrupted my LaCie disk, and it could not be repaired using Disk Utility. Even when I tried to repartition the drive, Disk Utility simply hung to the point where I had to do a Force Quit to get out of it.
    I forgot to mention that I was connecting the LaCie through a powered USB 2.0 hub - that could be a source of the problem, but it worked flawlessly in my iMac G5. I did reconnect it directly to a USB port on the iMac, but still could not get Disk Utility to repartition the drive.
    Luckily I had a secondary backup of my photo and music files, or I'd really be crying right now.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    My Firewire connected LaCie Bigdrive started disconnecting spontaneously with a complaint from the iMac that it was disconnected improperly.
    Finally it did so once more and has not mounted via FW since. However, USB does mount it but big files take all day to transfer.
    I took out the Maxator from the LaCie drive and put it in a FW/USB caddy, ok for a while then the same story. USB only mounting.

    Tried new cable. repaired boot drive disc, repaired permissions, ran DiscWarrior over it, repaired permisssions, ran downloaded 10.4.5 combo, ran DiscWarrior over it and finally repaired permissions again.
    No Joy.
    i would most appreciate useful suggestions.

  • Migrating from old G4 15-inch Flat Panel to new iMac 24-inch 2.16GHz

    Just purchased a refurbed 24" iMac with 2.16GHz core duo from Apple. Currently work on 15-inch flat panel 800MHz PowerPC G4 iMac using 10.2.8. Main applications are Photoshop v.7.0.1, Final Draft 6, and Office v.10.1.8. All important data is archived on three external OWC Mercury firewire drives. What is the most efficient, least problematic way to migrate? Or am I better off avoiding migration, installing latest Intel-friendly Photoshop, Office, and Final Draft software, and dragging select image files, and documents from external drives to new desktop? Also, how can I easily transfer my old iTunes/iPhoto/iMovie libraries over to new iMac from external drives without doing a migration? Thanks!

    May I recommend familiarizing yourself with Kappy's migrating advice;

    PS - the 24" iMac Intel is a Core 2 Duo.

  • Brand new iMac 24 inch does not start

    I went to best buy and bought the 24 inch 2.66 GHz iMac. We loved it when the apple guy gave us a demo. I brought the brand new iMac home and set it up. Pushed the power button - IMac does not power on. Tried diff options like changing plug socket, extension cord, removed and replaced power supply from back of iMac, but didnt work.
    After an hour, I took the thing back to Best buy and they replaced it with a new one. Now this new one started right away and we really love this computer. Browed until late night, put it on sleep before going to sleep. Woke up in the morning, checked email and did some more browsing before I put it back to sleep and went to take a shower. After I come back and try to turn it ON, it wont turn ON. No matter what I did except this time I did not remove the power supply from the back of the Mac.
    I called in for apple support as I was extremely concerned. The support guy asked me to hold the power button for 5 secs and try to power it back again. Nothing, didnt work. Next he asked me to remove all connections as well as the power supply from the back of the Mac and then turn it on. Lo and behold, came back up.
    I asked the support guy as to what the heck is the problem and if this type problem has been reported earlier - he said he cannot comment on that. I really like this computer, but I am concerned as to its reliability. Anyone had similar problems? What was the problem and what did you do?

    What the guy did was have you reset the SMC, the System Management Controller. It controls things like startups, shutdowns and sleeping.
    Is the iMac plugged directly into a three prong wall outlet or are you using an extension cord or a cheat adapter? If you are using an extension cord, then it needs to be a proper three pronged utility cord and not a simple cord with a cheat adapter.

  • Can blue-ray disks be played on the new iMac?

    If I buy disks in blue ray format, can they be played on the new iMac?

    I don't believe the internal DVD drive that comes with the iMac is capable of playing a Blu-Ray disc, period, Windows or otherwise. It would require an external Blu-Ray drive AND Windows. Not exactly cost effective when a stand alone player costs about $100 these days.
