Apple TV + iMac

Hey everyone,
I have a quick question.... So I have an iMac with an Airport Extreme network card that supports "N." I also have an Apple TV. My network itself, however, only supports "G." Will my ATV & iMac communicate (sync) directly or will they attempt to connect over my wireless network? Basically I am asking if I have to upgrade my network to "N" to see the full capabilities of the ATV or if I have already experienced it. Because it is SLOW!
Thank you!

1) you absolutely cannot connect the AppleTV directly to the iMac.. you need a router between them.
2) the AppleTV and the iMac absolutely need an "N" router to communicate at "N" speed
3) if you want "N" speed between your iMac and appleTV you need to go out and by an N router
4) your AppleTV doesn't need an internet connection to sync with the iMac, but it needs an internet connection do many functions.. iTunes store purchase and rentals driectly on the AppleTV, direct access to podcasts on the AppleTV, youTube, Flkr, movie trailer etc.

  • I have a Airport Time Capsule 2T, I would like to know if it is possible to backup all my apple divides (iMac, iPhone and iPad)?

    I have a Airport Time Capsule 2T, I would like to know if it is possible to backup all my apple divides (iMac, iPhone and iPad)?

    The iMac can back up to the Time Capsule, but iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to either iTunes on your Mac....or....to iCloud.
    If the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your Mac, then when the iMac backs up the iOS backups are sent to the Time Capsule as well.  So, the iPhone and iPad back up indirectly to the Time Capsule.
    The iPhone and iPad cannot back up directly to the Time Capsule.
    For more information on iOS backups, see this Apple support document:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

    My back up is no longer working.  The errors that come up are "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/apple’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use."  Does anyone know what this means?

    It means that there are bugs in the operating system.
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten

    I'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

    Since I updated to iOS5, I now have two (2) different Apple IDs. The first is my original Apple ID (iMac); the second is my primary email address (iPad & iPod). How can I standardize on just one ID?

    No.
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • I live in India, I recently bought a new iMac ( 21.5 Inch, Late 2013 ) but I cannot find it on Apple's iMac Identifying webpage?

    Here in India, and here when someone decides to buy a new Apple product ( Mac Series ) our dreams are partially killed by the folks at Apple India, Why you ask? Well we don't get to build our own computer! Yes, they have ( Apple India ) preconfigured a set of iMac's and we have to choose from those and those only, there is no " official " way to upgrade your iMac's Internals. (https://www.apple.com/in/imac/specs/ )
    Now to my Question : Part ONE
    Since my iMac HDD at purchase which was officially upgradable ( 1TB 5400RPM ) is too slow for Video Editing, and I want to upgrade to a Samsung 850 Pro series SSD, so I had contacted OWC to help me out, but they said that they couldn't find my iMac's model number anywhere so it got me to wonder what is happening...!
    I conacted OWC to help me upgrade my Late 2013 21.5 Inch iMac 's RAM from 8GB to its maximum capacity that is 16GB, and to upgrade the 1TB HDD to a 1TB SSD, but they said that my iMac was no where to be found so I opened this page up and I was not able to find it also...( How to identify iMac models ) which got me worrying to the authenticity of the product.
    Part TWO :
    Is it safe to get an SSD upgrade and RAM upgrade as I saw the video for a 21.5 Inch iMac upgrade as it has to be opened up 100% till its last screw so was just wondering .
    My iMac details :
    Name : iMac14, 3 ( Late 2013, 21.5 Inch )
    Processor :
    2.9GHz
    quad-core Intel Core i5 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB L3 cache
    NO Option for Core i7 was available.
    RAM : 8GB (two 4GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 memory ( No 16GB Option was available through Apple! Not even for the 27 Inch Version! )
    GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
    HDD : 1TB HDD at 5400 RPM ( ABSOLUTELY No Option was given for Flash Storage or SSD or Fusion Drive )
    OSX Version : OSX Mavericks 10.9.5
    A BIG THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, and apologies for the enormous description of my issue!

    Your post was updated after mine was in transit...
    Prior to first edit, that did not mention Thunderbolt.
    By that time, I'd already posted once and then
    had more info from a second browser window
    that I had double-checked, & added a few words.
    Nothing was missed, and my reply was not in
    any way related to your comment. I said SSD
    and Thunderbolt. Interchangeable w/ iMac HDD
    at a later time, thus use clone or separate full
    installation for that purpose. Bootable copy, etc.
    Be that as it may, I am aware of the specs for the iMac 21.5"
    models and you can also see them at everymac.com as well
    as in the download database from http://mactracker.ca are
    both adequate to compare specs. Also, the macsales.com
    OWC site tells quite a bit.
    The idea to use SSD and not HDD in the external could
    suffice to avoid opening the iMac altogether if the result
    was faster than unavailable? internal 7200 RPM upgrade.
    The data rate via enclosure and Thunderbolt would likely
    be a little slow using an SSD, but a running OS X can be
    used from an external, as suggested. Note the data rate
    that is published to be sure to get the best match SSD
    for later installation inside the iMac 21.5.
    I was not advocating a 7200-RPM spin rate HDD, instead
    the idea was to compare the SSD in an external via
    Thunderbolt, since it would barely be acceptable compared
    to the internal data bus speed rate the internal HDD has
    available to it...
    To buy an external enclosure suitable for the SSD and set it
    up as an alternative to the 5400-RPM internal 1TB, then at
    a later time (pending location of pro service tech) swap it
    into the computer; then internal 1TB could be installed in an
    enclosure. That is, if both are compatible/interchangable &
    can be used inside the iMac as well as an enclosure.
    OWC has some fine examples of SSDs, as well as enclosures.
    Some of their instruction videos are plausible, if you have the
    model in question, and the model identification is correct to spec.
    Besides, the 27-inch iMac Late-2013 sports a 7200-RPM HDD.
    And up to 3TB capacity, and 1TB Flash. 32GB RAM, etc.
    Anyway, I am not quibbling about semantics here.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Exactly how do I go from 10.6.1 to Mountain Lion on an Apple replaced iMac hard drive please?

    I am having the hard drive (from the recall) on my 2009 intel iMac in an hour in my home via Apple. I have 2 seperate backups on two different external drives. Both have Mountain Lion which I purchased when it came out. Apple specifies the tech will only put the install dvd that came with the iMac in 2009 which has 10.6.1. so will i have to update to 10.6.8 (can I even do this?) which is a Mountain Lion requirement and then firewire transfer from my backup drive? I'm looking (gratefully) for the exact steps. Thanks. dennis

    The easiest way to accomplish this, assuming your hard drive is working and it's being replaced as a precaution, is to make a complete bootable clone of the internal hard drive to one of your external drives using a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. Then once the drive has been replaced, just boot your system from the clone and clone it back to the internal drive.
    Regards.

  • Can Apple replace iMac 24" drive with a solid state drive?

    Can Apple replace my early 2009 iMac 24" drive with a solid state drive?

    An Apple Store will most likely refer you to a local Apple Authorized Service Provider for that type of work.
    Go to > Support > Find an AASP > click the Service Box > enter your Zip code and call some of those AASP's to see which one's do that type of upgrade.

  • Original SSD kit for apple iMac 27 2011 or OWC SSD Apple 27" iMac 2011 Modell

    is it better to use Origina SSD kit Cable for Upgrade the 27 2011 iMac with a samsung pro SSD? or i can use OWC cable. is there a differece ?  the Origina SSD from apple is 2.5 tims more Expensive then the OWC cable.

    Difficult to say without seing the machine.   It sounds as if you installed the SSD drive yourself.  If that is the case you may have voided the guarantee and Apple Care extended warranty.
    If Apple installed the drive, all should be well.   Apple hardware and work usually carries a 12 month guarantee.
