Aperture on the new Imac doesn't run !!!!
I just got my new intel Imac, gess what Aperture doesn't run on it !! After installation i got following message :
Your computer does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Aperture.
What do you need more to run it ???
Cazn anyone help me ??
Are you saying the installer won't work on an Intel system? The notice on the update says it will be available via software update. For this to work, I have to install it first before it can be updated.
Aperture is a free update to UB when they are
available
even if you try a Manual install it WILL NOT WORK
it is NOT compiled for the intel processor and
Rosetta only emulates for simple programs
IT WILL NOT WORK
wait untill the new update is out feb/march ish

Will I be able to keep my old imac info if I upgrade to the new imac? I run 10.5.8
I want to buy one of the new iMacs but want to keep my old software/files from my old iMac which currently runs 10.5.8.
Is this possible? My Mac is quite old as i purchased it in 2004.
ThanksA Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
4. Contextual Menu Items
5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
6. Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and
registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your
desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Need Step-by-Step Instructions for Moving Aperture Library to New iMac
I've been using Aperture on an old MacBook Pro and am totally out of memory on it (I have less than 4GB free out of 465 GB). I'm needing to move my Aperture library over to a newly purchased iMac.
I have already installed Aperture on the new iMac and have updated the version to 3.5.1. Aperture on my old MacBook Pro is version 3.4.5. Will this difference in versions be a problem as I move the library over?
On the MacBook Pro, I use a referenced library, housing all of my masters on an external drive. I had to do this because of insufficient memory/storage capacity.
I do not have any vaults.
While I had been backing up to an old TimeMachine, I ran into problems with it a few months back (would spin and spin and spin and never complete a backup) and stopped attempting to back up to it. We have purchased a new TimeMachine for use with the new iMac, but have not had our AV guys out to the house to connect it to an otherwise overly complicated whole-house AV system. So, I'm afraid TimeMachine is not the useful mechanism in transferring the library to the new computer.
The thunderbolt connection evidently will not work with the old MacBook Pro, so this isn't the transfer mechanism either.
Please tell me in very simple steps how to move my library over to the new computer. Please! I have read through the Aperture users manual and do not see this topic addressed directly, though it is vaguely mentioned within the discussion on vaults. I have searched this community and do not find a simple enough explanation.
Do I need to run out and get another external drive and set up a vault to do the transfer? But, would that even work with the referenced library? There is no way I can convert to a managed library on the MacBook Pro, as I am out of space.
Please help! I have tons of photo projects that I was wanting to complete for the holidays gift-giving, but I'm at a standstill until I can get up and running on the new computer.
Many thanks for your feedbackIf you cannot connect the old mac via thunderbolt or firewire in target mode, an external drive - large enough to hold the library plus some additional free space - would really be the best option for the transfer. I would not use the network to copy a referenced library. You do not need to create a vault.
Connect the drive to the old Mac.
Make sure the external drive is formatted for Mac - MacOS X Extended (Journaled).
Set the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" flag on the external drive.
Copy the Aperture library over to the external drive by dragging it in the Finder.
Now double-click it to open it in Aperture.
To move all references images to the external drive select all images in Aperture in the Photos view and use the command "File > Relocate Originals" and select a folder on your external drive as the destination.
Once the library and the referenced files are safely on your external drive, I'd run a "Repair" using the First Aid Tools: See this Manual page: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Test the library on the new drive and check, if everything transferred safely.
Now dismount the drive and connect it to your new mac.
Copy the library to your new Mac by dragging it in the Finder from the drive to a folder on your new mac.
Now double-click it to open it in Aperture. Aperture will now upgrade it to version 3.5.
Use the command "File > Relocate Originals" to move the originals where you want them.

Can I run Snow Leopard on the new iMac
Apple is warrantying me a new iMac because I have had many problems with my current machine. It's a late 2008 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 Ghz machine that I have been running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on. I have a lot of software that runs on Snow Leopard.
They will be replacing it with a new 21.5 inch iMac running Mountain Lion which will be released in the next week or two. My plan was to partition the hard drive, keep part of it for my current Snow Leopard and gradually migrate over to Mountian Lion.
Alas, they have told me that the new machines will not run Snow Leopard at all so partitioning is out of the question but that I can set up a "Virtual Computer" that will allow me to run Snow Leopard within the Mountain Lion Structure. This will allow me to still use my older software in a setup not unlike the Classic system that the early OSX used. The tech told me I would have to get some 3rd party software to do this but was not much more helpful.
Im looking for some specific info on what I need to do to keep my Snow Leopard viable on my new machine while I gradually migrate over to Mountain Lion.
thanks,
RobHere is a post that I assembled for a similar question:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopar - not available on the newest iMac;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion - not available on the newest iMac;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions, or find alternative software that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:
[click on image to enlarge]
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.
And according to the author, it's not forbidden by the client EULA. Can't say for sure if the same method will work for Mountain Lion, though. He may have updated it here or on MacRumors, but I'm not aware of an update, or whether one is needed.
I do not give legal advice on MacRumors, I do contend that it is a common Urban Myth that the Snow Leopard EULA forbids its virtualization. Further, in the more than one year that I have been offfering my Snow Leopard into Parallels solution, NO ONE has met my challenge during this period of time to show me one, official written statement by Apple that would support the conclusion that Snow Leopard's EULA forbids its virtualization.
The method does work for Mountain Lion, with the proviso of the NOTE above about currently having to do STEP ONE on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac. -

i just purchased the new iMac and it doesn't have a cd drive, how do i install cs6
can someone please tell me how to install cs6
I have the disk but no drive oopsI had the same situation. I have an external disk burner which also acts as a CD/DVD/BlueRay Drive/burner.
Having access to an external drive will solve the problem. As long as it has a USB cable you should be able
to plug it into your iMac, spot the disk icon on your desktop and insert the installer disks and load the software.
Hope that helps. -
will microsoft office for mac 2004 transfer from my emac running 10.4.11 to the new iMac running mountain lion using migration assistant?
Microsoft Office 2004 will not work on any Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion. You will need to upgrade to Office 2011, buy the less expensive iWork apps from the App Store or use a free office clone like OpenOffice or NeoOffice.

I am about to buy the new iMac, but do I have to buy all the software I have in my old one, like Aperture, pages, etc.?
No, you don't. If you got it from the Mac App Store, log into it with the same Apple ID and redownload it for free. If you got it from CDs or DVDs, reinstall it from those; having the DVD version of a program does not get you a free download of it from the Mac App Store.

Will the new iMac run Motion 3?
I can't really afford to go to the Mac Pro. I am looking at the new iMac (24 inch, 2.8 processor model), and wondering if it will run Motion 3? I know it won't be ideal, but still I hope that it will suffice for a high-end amateur user.
I currently run Motion 2 on a Macbook, which is obviously not ideal, but at least somewhat works.No, except by running it through Mac OS X Server 10.6 in emulation.

DVD Studio Pro no longer works with the new iMac. Solutions?
Disc installations in general don't exist anymore and DVD Studio Pro is no longer supported in the new iMac that we have at our office. I used to have Roxio's Toast Titanium as a backup burner, but even that is not supported past mac OS 10.7. Final Cut X has the option to export straight to DVD but the menu options it gives you is so basic it doesn't even look professional. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they are using now to burn a professional looking DVD. Many thanks

mlaughbaum,
It seems as though you and I are on the same page struggling. Were you able to find any alternatives to DVDSP or any way to continue using it?
On-Site Video
I'm considering myself lucky... Though I was unable to install either DVDSP and FCP v.6 on my new iMac, they are both still working on my older iMac even though it too is running ML. I believe this is because I upgraded to ML from Leopard with both already installed.
My only suggestion would be to install Leopard (or the OS on which they were working for you), install FCP, DVDSP and compressor, and then upgrade to ML. Seems like a silly solution but I have a feeling it would work. I'm not doing it because it's working on the iMac that's closest to my DVD duplicator. That said, if I had to, I believe that's what I'd try.
Really infuriates me. My business depends on DVD sales and there really isn't another cost effective DVD authoring solution for the mac out there.
I do wish you the best of luck and would love to hear if you come up with a better solution. -
Is the new iMac faster than my PowerMac G5 dual 2Ghz?
I have a PowerMac G5, Dual 2Ghz (first generation model)
2.5GB Ram, and a ATI 9800 Pro 256mb Graphics Card.
Looking at the SPEC ratings on the Apple page, the new iMac (2.0Ghz model) scored...
SPECint_rate2000 = 32.6
SPECfp_rate2000 = 27.1
And according to http://www.apple.com/lae/g5/ the dual 2Ghz scored...
SPECint_rate2000 = 15.7
SPECfp_rate2000 = 17.2
Doesn't this mean is roughly twice as fast? Does SPEC just measure the processor or the whole system?
And how does my ATI Radoen 9800 Pro 256MB compare to the ATI Radeon X1600 256MB?
Thanks!I agree. Specs are great and certainly are helpful in comparing the new MacBook to the new iMac as they are quite similar. What's really interesting is how PowerPC coded apps will compare to their universal binary equivalents on the new machines. I for one am curious to see how the universal binary of FCP Studio runs on the new iMac vs today's PowerMac. While people have been using FCP tools on G5 iMacs and G4 PowerBooks, performance isn't nearly as good as the same app on a Dual or Quad G5 PowerMac. It could usher in a whole new segment of Pro tools users who can get good performance from a less expensive option like the new iMac.

Will the new iMac support FCStudio2?
This may be a dumb question, but I did a search on the forums, and they talked about only G4s and G5s.
The Apple web site confuses me; it says "An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card" is needed, but the iMac has an "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory."
Does that mean FCStudio2 can be installed only on a G5, where you can install different graphics cards?Hi, I have had pretty good experiences using the new iMac (2.4GHZ, 20" screen, 2GB memory, ATI 256MB videocard) with FCStudio2. Below details my experience.
Final Cut Pro: works great, everything is pretty smooth and it hasn't failed me yet (most likely you will be limited to working with DV footage however, as you can't add a standalone capture card for HD).
DVD Studio Pro: works great with no problems
Compressor: when I am doing large batch exports, it is noticeably slower than my tower (to the extent that I just do them overnight).
Motion: works fine if you work with files with a small duration; doesn't run as smooth as my tower
Soundtrack Pro: works great
Color: I've been tinkering with this program. Seems to run fine, but I am no expert in it.
Hope this helps!

Reason and Protools with the new iMac 24"
I have an old iMac PowerPC G4 and i am running Reason 3.0 on it.
It doesn't run smoothly at all, it's very slow and it takes ages to play a song, very frustrating.
I was thinking of buying the new iMac 24".
Does anyone know if there is any problems running those programs on the system?
ThanksHi there - I'm in a similar situation, it has driven me to start looking into a hardware upgrade, I went to the Reason web site and there seems to be an upgrade to download, but have not heard any good or bad reports. I'm still not sure whether or not to go for the new 24" iMac or an entry-level Mac Pro - but when I decide and get a new machine I'll be sorting out Reason and can let you know.

Hey guys,
(sorry if this has been asked 1000 times before, i went back pretty far and didnt see an answer)
First time poster here. For starters, I'm a game designer and digital artist whose fed up with PCs. I know macs aren't necessarily made for gaming, and that a gaming PC would cost a bit less, but I've had way to many problems with my last PC rigs crashing, melting, and frying. No fun.
Anyways, Im considering buying the i5 or i7 27" quad-core w/ the 1GB ATI card iMac. I currently have a MacBook Pro sporting an nvidia 9600M GT w/ 256 mb dedicated ram. Up until now, I've been able to handle most games on high or medium settings using Bootcamp with Windows 7, so I've been very pleased with how well this little guy has done, which does give me hope with the iMac. As a benchmark for all you gamers out there, I can run StarCraft II on medium @ 1440x900 without worry.
So this brings me to now: is a new iMac going to run my games well? I'm mostly an MMO gamer, with a few RTS's mixed in for funzies. I'll be first in line for the Old Republic, and will be playing the **** out of FFXIV. I've heard polar opposites of "omg, it'll run ffxiv no problem" and "**** no, that iMac won't run sh*t." I will be playing with Windows 7 for most all of my games, which usually seems to run better than games installed on OSX, anyways.
So what are y'alls experiences with the new iMac and games? The guy at Bestbuy said everything will run beautifully, but he doesn't work for apple and could just be trying the make the sale. And unfortunately, the guy at the apple store didn't seem to know much about the iMac he tried to sell me (lol). I guess my biggest worry is the GPU, as I'm not familiar with ATI cards.
So now its your turn! What do you think? And would you go with the i5 or i7?
Thanks a ton,
-mutedPlatypusHi,
I have recently purchased a 27" i5 iMac with a ATI 5750. The only game I have played on this so far is StarCraft 2, but I have been running this in Max resolution with all graphics settings on Ultra, and it runs absolutely beautifully.
If you google you will find many many websites complaining of StarCraft 2 frying their graphics card, but i've found this iMac doesn't break a sweat. No fans kicking in, and iMac has stayed cool after a few hours of gaming.
I would definitely recommend this new series of iMacs for gaming now they have finally put some decent current gen gfx cards in.
