About My 2009 24inch Apple Widescreen iMac Computer & the Future of Mac Games?

I see that there are Some Mac Games that do not meet My System Requirements for My iMac Computer, I Can name 2 that I Really like that i would love to play
Formula 1 2012
Batman Arkham City
& there is another Racing Car Game that is suppose to be out in Februrary of this year & it was suppose to late last year it was suppose to come out tt's Called
Real Racing 3
So i am hoping that game meets My System Requirements but maybe it won't? but it looks like it will but i don't know for sure? & i wanted to know if anyone knows all about the Future of Mac Games, are they taking Mac Games to a whole other level like to a point I Won't be able to play no more Mac Video Games on this iMac Computer? since there coming out with the New iMac Computers?
I Have Real Racing 2 for My iMac Computer & I Have Real Racing 2 for My Apple iPhone but in Real Racing 3 they took up more Graphic's it looks like, I Want to get Real Racing 3 for My Apple iPhone
& also for My Apple iMac Computer if the Graphic's Card meet My System Requirements?
so does anyone have information on if there gonna be creating better games that don't meet My System Requirements? What's Weired if i can Play a YouTube Video then My iMac Computer should be able to play Mac Games but it not gonna work like that for some reason so what's next?
Maybe Apple wants us to go out & buy a New Apple iMac Computer every Year?
I Heard that Apple is coming up with a Game Console it's called Apple iPlay I Was Searching Google & found something, I Hope they come out with that cause i'll be buying it.

nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

Which is faster at rendering and compressing hd video... the new iMacs or the 8 core Mac Pro

the new iMacs or the 8 core Mac Pro

the 5770 is listed as 2010 only as well. The "anomolies" are with HDCP copy protected content:
Mac Pro: Using ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card with Mac Pro released before 2010
This may be the same story.

If I wanted to upgrade my new iMac in the future, how would I go about it?

I have no desire to void the 3 year Applecare plan I paid for.
I just bought the new iMac 2011, I would like to upgrade the RAM, the HDD and add an SSD in the future, without doubt. Does this mean that, in order to do so, and remain within warranty, I am going to have to bring my iMac to an Apple Store, buy the parts directly from them, and pay for labour?
Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks.

Greetings,
Memory you can upgrade yourself. It is covered in the manual for your computer: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_mid2011_ug.pdf
--This is the only customer installable part.
The hard drive is another matter. iMacs are HIGHLY compact desktop computers. Gaining access to the hard drive requires removing the LCD and the glass that covers it. While one could do this in theory, and perhaps not damage any components in the process (which is what voids the warranty), I wouldn't risk it.
Apple Retail stores do not in general offer after market upgrades. You could contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider to see if they do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
Personally, I'd buy a computer with an HD that meets my needs and use external drives as needed as they are very reasonably priced these days. Its not like you're gonna be carrying the iMac around . Or maybe you are? 27" portable?
Once the 3 years are up (if you keep the computer that long) you can start cracking it open if you like. Though frankly there may something even better out by then. Having the AppleCare ups the re-sale value so you could sell the old system online and buy something new.
Hope that helps!

Will the 1299 Imac with the cheapest things Run games without lag?

I am wondering if the cheapest Imac with the cheapest things on the setup will run computer games such as minecraft without lag?

Will be using it just to soley play video games. Also any rumors on when the new imac could come out soonest/ latest date
Yes it will play games just fine. Per the Terms of Use we cannot discuss future products on this forum.
You would only need antivirus software if you run MS Windows and only for the Windows partition. Because there are no viruses for OS X it's unnecessary for OS X. The good news is even if your MS Windows partition becomes totally diseased this will in no way affect OS X.
I would recommend looking through:

Hi Jules,
Maybe you should try Skype too... I was looking for exact the same as you, video and audio chats with friends and family and did some looking around... and I did try a few other alternatives - but ended up choosing Skype for MacOS.
Skype for MacOS provides you with all you need, chat, a great file transfer, video, audio... but also the ability to call regular phones and send SMS messages to cellphones... and it works!! with no firewall issues or bugs... only downside is that you will have to ask you MSN / Windows Live Messenger friends to use Skype instead of MSN when you want to do Video or Audio. You might even get them to use Skype as there primary IM client, which I have succeeded with a lot of my friends - which non of us have regretted.

How do I log use two apple ID's on the same I mac with two user accounts

I cant seem to find a thread to answer this question.
I have have one I mac, both my wife and I have a user account each, we both have our own apple ID's is there away they can be used at the same time?
As so far I can't find a way of doing this. It seems one user account can only use its apple ID for a period of 90days, If I need to use the other apple ID I have to wait.. as I get this messsage
"You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 61 days. "
Is there a way around this?

Oh...How about one APPLE account, but two different users on the computer- one being administrator, and allow admin privileges if you want, or one be admin, the other a user.
Or- what you can do, is have the second apple account, but only log in to it without involving the computer.
Or break down and get a second computer. On hers, you be guest user and on yours she be guest- then if one breaks, you can still each use in turn.
Or alternately, go to applestore or contact apple to ask...

Use install CD 1 to Repair Disk.
THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
1.Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2.Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3.Click the First Aid tab.
4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
7.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
8.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
9.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
10.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.

About USB Port Hubs for My Apple iMac Computer?

I Need to know what kind of USB Port Hub I Need for My 2009 24inch Apple Widescreen iMac computer do i need a USB Hub 2.0 or 3.0? i need to get a USB Hub so what kind of USB Port Hub i need?

A parallel query, if you please: I have several USB devices hooked to my iMAC (Late 2012 running OS X Mavericks) How do I determine if any of them are USB3? I think my 1TB HDD (not from Apple store) MAY be USB 3 but I'm nor sure. Does it have to be plugged into the Left-most USB recepticle? I am told that DVD/CD burners are NEVER USB 3 because rhey are limited by the maximum rototional speed and servo mechanics.
Thanks, Sam Levine

Information About My iMac Computer??

Add External eSATA Port
am i'm allowed to use an External eSata Drive for My iMac Computer? cause i need more Storage but my Memory is in good Standards & where can I Get an External eSata Drive from? I Went to OWC.com & I Contacted them on Twitter & they told me that I Can use there iMac Turnkey Service and add more than one drive :-)
so can I Really use an External eSata Drive or port or whatever it's called on my iMac Computer, I Told them i had an 2009 24inch Apple iMac Computer & i told them i don't know how to install Hard Drives cause i never done it before so i'm a little scared to do it? so i had to ask this question??
or what kind of Hard Drive I Can put in My 2009 24inch iMac Computer, i'm looking for a 2TB Drive? & will The Apple Store install it for me?

The Apple store won't install it, but an authorized service provider will. That is if you want to replace the internal hard drive you have now. The only other way (and only on some models) would be that they take out the Super Drive and put another hard drive in there. Not worth it with the age of your computer, Byron.
Much better (and cheaper): get another external hard drive and park all your movies, etc. there and get them off your internal drive. Here are some good ones from OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/EliteALmini/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
You can't use an eSata drive because your Mac doesn't have an eSata port and, again, considering the age of your machine, it is not worth adding that expense. Firewire 800 will work just fine.
And PLEASE - do not even think about taking apart your iMac - only people who are used to this kind of stuff should do it. There are many many parts inside to remove. Here are some photos:

Can a 5.1 PC speaker system be hooked up to a 2009 iMac computer?

Can an older 5.1 Suround sound speaker system from a Windows XP based computer be hooked up and operate through a 2009/2010 Intel based iMac computer?

Hello joebono,
I'm not sure which logitech system you have so I don't know what your setup is. I know on my computer my Logitech 5.1 sound system is USB.
With that being said there is not enough ports on the computer to connect all the cables to the computer to make a standard 5.1 surround system work. What you need is a speaker system where everything connects to the sub woofer and then you connect the woofer to the computer.
Alternatively like I mentioned on my own personal system is you have a speaker system powered through USB.
This thread also discusses the issue you are experiencing.

Dropped macbook on the floor, concerns about the future applecare coverage

My friend just dropped his macbook on the floor. There are now two obvious dents around the corner of the notebook. It works fine now. I'm just wondering that if apple support will refuse to provide apple care service for the future possible hardware malfunctions, which might not result from this accident.
Thanks.

I'm sure a certain amount of subjectivity will enter into any decision they make, such that they can either reasonably exclude or otherwise include the accidental drop resulting in damage having played a role in some future failure.
As such, I don't think the drop will necessarily result in automatic exclusion from coverage, but it may, if such a failure could reasonably been caused by this physical damage incident.
