24"imac duo core

I bought an imac almost a year ago. well it was nice worked well.. one thing the basee kinda rocked. so i thought nothing of it.one day i get home and my imac is laying on the floor screen shattered lcd shattered,glass everywhere, I am disabled and cant afford to pay all at one to get a new screen, what do i do?i have bad medical credit so a card is out?lemme know what ya think?I am on Social security and I'm 32

The base rocked? It should have been on a stable source of some sort like a desk?
You might be able to get some advice from a nearby Apple Macintosh User Group. Here's a link to the locations:http://www.apple.com/usergroups/find/
Are you near any of these locations? http://appleusergroups.com/locator/find/locate.cgi?zipcode=93230&Submit=Search zip code 93230 ??
Mac User Groups are awesome for getting help. If I can think of any other sources I'll post back.

Sleep problem with iMac Duo Core

I purchased this 20" iMac Duo Core five days ago. Whenever the iMac enter sleep mode with pulsating indicator light below the screen, waking up the iMac always cause complete reboot of iMac. Is this a known issue with 20" iMac Core Duo or there is some problems in configuration under System Preferences ? The SMC firmware was updated from version 1.1f2 to 1.1f5 for installing Windows XP through Boot Camp Assistant in a NTFS disk partition.

Thank you for the useful lead. The problem has been resolved by executing System Management Controller (SMC) reset procedure outlined in support site. Further monitoring on behaviour of the SMC is required. Hopefully this power management problem is not as big as with first generation iMac G5 I used to own. No idea whether latest SMC firmware update released by Apple resolve this problem though I have applied the update for Windows installation through Boot Camp.

New iMac Duo Core or Newest G5 any better on Video?

Think about buying the new G5 Duo Core processor over the current G5, I have a older G5 17" and want a new 20" to use as a music movie server in a Home Theater. I didn't see any screen issues with my model G5 that I just sold to my sister and I was in a local Apple Store and the G5 I saw, screen looked pretty **** good, no flicker or grain to the picture. In no hurry right now and I can wait awhile considering I just purchased there new MacPro Powerbook. Burning my CD using Apple Lossless, but that is for another discussion. Thanks...

Doctor: Thanks for the input, much appreciated! Going to wait a little while till they take care of a couple of bugs that I don't want to deal with. Front Row glitch in Front Row and a few other Apps. I will wait a few months and then buy one. Besides I just bought a new Macbook Pro.
Thanks again.

Synchronizing Iphoto Libraries between Powerbook and Imac Duo Core....

I'm sure there must be a simple answer to this, but I have a Powerbook Laptop I've used for the past year as a primary computer, but recently added a Imac as my main computer at home and using my laptop more for travel / work. I'm trying to figure out how to "synchronize" all my Iphoto files (images) and also Itunes libraries. Not trying to do anything illegal (photo/music) wise....just not have to have two different photo/music groups on each computer. I was able to load the library from the laptop when I first got the IMAC....but if I add any photos on my laptop or purchase any music..... just haven't figured out how to easily sync them between the two computers. I'm sure there are others much wiser than myself who have figured this out and I ask for your words of wisdom to help an "apple newbie" overcome this minor hurdle. Thanks in advance!!

Bill:
You can't "synchronize" libraries because that only syncs files, not the contents of files. Doing so will corrupt both libraries.
The only way at present to make two libraries the same is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. It will let you merge libraries while preserving keywords, comments, albums, rolls, etc. The developer's site explains it.

Starp up problems -Imac Duo Core

Imac DuoCore 1.83
Upgraded to Leopard several months ago without problems.
Two days ago the following started:
1. Starts up-no chime
2. Apple logo is seen (grey)
3. light blue screen with progress wheel-not the pinwheel)
4. screen dims a bit, progress wheel dissappears then comes back and it does
the same thing.
I ran the Disk First Aide frim the CD, performed verify and repair disc.
Came back with repaired completed.
Restarted...but the problem persists.
Ran the CD a few times with the same result.
Any ideas???
Thanks in Advance
RL Mora
PS
There is nothing else attached and or installed hardware wise

Try running the hardware diagnostics:
How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours. If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
Some "common" error indicators:
SNS - sensor error
MEM - memory error
HDD - hard disk drive error
MOT - fan error

IMac Duo-CORE and virus'?

I just picked up a new iMac the other day and as much as I would love to stick with just Apple software, classes will have me needing to use Window's also.
Does simply owning this machine make me more prone to virus' because it is Window's compatible?
Does using Window's open me up to a host of virus' found in everyday life for PC's?
More than likely, my PC partition will be kept from internet use and use more for using products needed for class like: JCreator, Photoshop, SolidWorks, etc.
Thanks ahead of time.

Hello,
Just being compatible with Windows doesn't mean that you'll automatically get a virus.
But, you do need to understand that when you are running Windows that there is absolutely no difference between your computer and any other PC running Windows.
So, your machine is just as likely to get a Windows virus as it would be if you were running Windows on any other computer.
Just keeping your machine off the network does not mean that it cannot get a virus. When my wife was in college the first time, she brought home viruses a couple of times just from using her disks on the college computers.
So, if you do your homework on your machine, then take that work to a PC for work or to turn it in, and then you bring it back to your computer, you very well could get a virus if the other computer had a virus on it.
Basically, any time you share files with another computer, you risk getting viruses from that computer (if it has one).
So, you should still observe all the same precautions you would if you were using any other PC. That means an anti-virus program, a good firewall if it will be on the network, and any other precautions that would apply to any other PC running Windows.
When you use Windows on your Mac, there is absolutely nothing different about the Mac. For all intents and purposes, it is a PC.
With Mac's running on Intel processors now, the only thing that really distinguishes them now is their appearance and the fact that they will also run Mac OS X.
But, other than that, you will find that they are just as much a PC as any other PC. They just look different and will also run Mac OS X.
Now, Windows cannot read a Mac OS volume without special software. So, unless you have a program installed that enables Windows to read your OS X partition, then Mac OS X will remain unaffected by any Windows virus you get.
I hope this helps.

Loss of internet connection from windows side of imac duo core

I have cable modem as internet hookup. When I am in Mac I have no problems, but every time I either change to the Windows side, or the computer is turned off or goes off, when Windows comes up, I can't access the internet.
I have gone into control panel and it states that the cable modem is unplugged or not connected. I then have to literally unplug the cable from the computer, wait a few seconds and then plug it back in.
This has been going on several months and started after I had a cable issue at the house and the cable guys came out and fixed it. they changed some things on my computer.
I think something on the MAC side was actually changed and that is impacting the windows side.
Prior to that I could access the internet from either side w/no problem.
Now, even if I unplug the cable and then plug it in, the computer is not recognizing that the cable is plugged in. As you can see, I am still having NO problem w/the MAC side.
Any ideas what command or default setting might have been changed to impact the Windows side in this fashion. thanks

what is the firmware version on the router?? try reducing MTU to 1452...let me know if you have any issues will get back to you.
thanks

How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices? Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices? Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

How do I upgrade OS X 10.5.8 on my iMac with Intel duo core processor

I have an iMac 24" with 2,16 Ghz Intel Core Duo processor and 2Gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM running on OS X 10.5.8 to Lion?
I know I have to upgrade first to snowleopard???
If so SnowLeopard is not available in the iCentres etc.
What to do??
Brgds,
Nils

Your iMac is a Core 2 Duo not a Core Duo according to this http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.16-24-inch-sp ecs.html
Which is good since the specifications for OSX Lion require a Core 2 Duo as minimum processor:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
The road to OSX Lion requires you to have OSX Snow Leopard before which can be bought from Apples Online Store http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA but is not avaiable as a download.
After installation of OSX Snow Leopard and installation of neccessary updates to it you can then use the Mac App Store to buy OSX Lion and install it.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
For OSX Lion an upgrade of your RAM to 4GB might be advisable.

Imac 17" core duo 1.83ghz broken display how to connect external display?

Hi there! I have a 2006 Imac 17" core duo and the screen broke by accident. The repair costs are extremely high and thus I was thinking about buying an external display and hooking it up to the imac. Firstly, would such a thing be possible, and if indeed possible how would one go about setting it up?

20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Display problems.

It was hard trying to sum up my problem for the thread title... so let me try and describe what I am experiencing a bit more clearly.
I have recently acquired a 20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo,2 GHz(aluminum body black plastic back)-with display issues...
The problem is basically that there appears to be no happy middle ground in regards to contrast- it is either WAY too white or WAY too black... I would have to say it is more of an issue with CONTRAST than brightness, it appears that nothing I can do in calibrating the screen really matters.
I have calibrated displays before and never had this sort of issue. It is pretty bad (for example): a royal blue appears as black or gray mac highlight color choice appears as black.... white and medium grays appear indistinguishable.
all this in addition to the fact that there appears to be a gradient to the screen when you display a solid color neutral back ground, not too mention that it is VERY hard to look at this screen for very long and for what I do( 3D model making and texture creation) the display is pretty useless.
I have read about similar issues with this model's screen at other sites, but most of the threads ended without being resolved and were more than a year old.
This machine belonged to my in-laws and according to them, it always looked this way and when they took to back to the Apple store few weeks after purchasing it( brand new), they were told there was "nothing wrong with the display, it's supposed to look that way"... the machine was hardly used(just for iChating with our infant daughters), so I don't really think it is an issue with age or anything.
Now here is the really weird part:
I just upgraded the OS from 10.4 to 10.5 and when the machine first displayed the default 10.5 background(the Nebula one... blueish-pink with stars)... as it was going though the start up IT LOOKED RIGHT.
Once everything was done and all my icons appeared- Boom! Back to ugly.
I have noticed the same thing occur if I shut down the machine.
Startup screen, the default (nebula)background(my choice of background) comes up... it looks fine, the icons start to show up... everything still looks good and then when everything is done... BAM! UGLY!
I'm not sure what to make of this... any suggestions
One last thing- I am VERY familiar with the default background for OS 10.5, I have used it on my iMac G5 for over 2 years. When I say the displayed "looked right" I mean, it looked like what I was used to and how it appears on other machines.
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

mcgyver,
If start up and shut down look correct then something is set or corrupt in the user options. To test this, add a new user and signon as them.
Regards
Edit: I don't use 10.5.8 anymore so the following suggestions are for 10.6.5.
The things that may affect your display are:
System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing Tab. Display: Make sure Enhance contrast slider is set to normal. Use grayscale is unchecked.
System Preferences > Displays > Color tab > Display profile set to display or iMac. Whatever the default is on your system.

PowerMac G5 vs iMac Intel Core Duo

Hello, I currently have a PowerMac G5 Dual Core and am thinking of getting another computer. I have a question. In terms of performance, what is faster, the G5 (Dual) on the PowerMac or the Intel Core Duo on the iMac (running at the same speed).
And at the bottomline, what would be the machine that I want for gaming, publishing, and video editing? The PowerMac G5 (Dual) or the iMac with Intel.
Thanks for the assistance!! Have a good one.
P.S. Are there any plans of releasing a PowerMac with an Intel processor.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

(Oh...right...sorry for mentioning that) Thanks for hte response!
Anyways, I just want a computer that will not be outdated for a while. I don't want to purchase the G5, and then months down the road, not see the G5 in production anymore.
One thing about the iMac I'm not too fond of is the lack of upgradibility (or so it seems so). Due to it's size, it would be very difficult for someone to upgrade it's internal components.
I will be purchasing either today evening of tommorow, and I want to know what will be my best choice for the future, the iMac Intel Core Duo or the PowerMac G5.
I always thought of the PowerMac G5 as a beast, and I still do, but some of the latest reviews and benchmark tests I have seen have said that the iMac (with Intel Core Duo) has performed very close to the PowerMac.

Imac 17" core 2 duo 1.83Ghz motherboard upgrade

My imac 17" core 2 duo 1.83Ghz motherboard happened video problem, I am going to buy a 17" core 2 duo 2Ghz motherboard from ebay to upgrade/replace the bad motherboard.

Anybody can give me advice?
Thanks

Hi kersa0608
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First off, buying a used or reconditioned logic board off e-bay sounds very risky.
Second there is no guaranty that it will even fit or work in that educational 17" model, besides the Graphic's Chip, the Optical Drives and Airport cards just to mention two biggies are also different.
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP28
Lastly I'm not sure how much that Logic Board is going to cost you, but if anything else doesn't fit or something happens to another component it could end up costing you more to patch up that 5 year old 17" iMac than the price of a new or refurbished 21.5".

Importing FCE to FCP and G5 iMac to Duo Core iMac issues

I mainly film & edit weddings, but work on a number of other things as well. Someone told me to try hitting escape when I get the error message window, which worked good enough on a few of the projects, but not on most. Have been using FCP 5.1.4 for about a year now and opened plenty of my old FCE 3.0 files without trouble. Switched from an iMac G5 without a Duo Core to a new one (iMac 7.1) with a Duo core in Jan, and now having all kinds of problems opening old FCE and sometimes even FCP projects started before I got the Duo Core.
There's a project I created abt 8 mos ago in FCP 5.1.4 I'm trying to open and touch up a bit in the same version of FCP, but the cursor goes into a multi-color spin and essentially freezes up. I've also tried to open the capture scratch files from this project in a new Final Cut project, but they won't open and I get this message: "File error: 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown." Finally, try to open the capture scratch files in Quicktime, but get this message: "an invalid public atom movie was found in the movie". This makes me wonder if the captured video files might have gotten corrupted...any idea how or what to do now?
Looks like my current system has an ATI Radeon HD2600 card. I'm not super technical when it comes to most of this. Any ideas why it won't open or what I can do to get it to work around these issues? Having to re-load footage and start completely over on these sure would be a huge pain. Please say NO
Any thoughts are appreciated and welcomed.
