Applicatons with the New Intel Imac

I want to purchase a new intel based imac, but I am curious if Yahoo Messenger will work with rosetta. Any help appreciated.
imac intel   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

According to the postings on Imac (early 2006) the results are varied. Some users are experiencing software and performance problems some aren't. Check out the early 2006 forum and read some of the postings-the results so far are mixed. I ,for one, am glad I have a rev. b G5 since it appears some teething problems are cropping up on the Mactels just like they did on the rev. a Imacs. I wouldn't consider one until the universal binary written software hits the market and Apple does an upgrade/revision on the machine just like on the original Imac G5's.

  • Apple aware of video problem in the new Intel iMacs

    Macworld Daily News
    Thursday - February 09, 2006
    Apple investigates Intel iMac Front Row problems
    By Macworld staff
    Apple has confirmed it is aware of, and investigating, reports of video problems in the new Intel iMacs.
    Recent reports claimed that some users had experienced random horizontal lines and other video playback problems when playing video in Front Row.
    "Apple is aware of this issue and is looking into it," the company said in an email to a web-based pressure group that has been gathering information on the problem. "If a customer has any technical issues, they should contact AppleCare."
    The problem is allegedly software-based.

    "Sure, I'd be more understanding had it been an issue that required a very special set of conditions to trigger"
    Apparently it does as this issue is not affecting all users.
    "As I was told, affected owners would not be proactively notified"
    Where you you prefer them to use their limited resources, trying to figure out who MAY be affected and sending them some sort of detailed action plan, or spending the resources determining the cause of the issue and developing a solution that can be distributed to the ones who need it not only now, but those that may discover the issue next week?
    I can understand that you are frustrated, and don't blame you for feeling that way, but this is an all new piece of technology and bugs are going to come up that were missed in testing. No company can afford to test at a 100% level. To do so would drive the costs so high as to make it impossible to sell the product, especially to the market the iMac is aimed at. Apple has a pretty darned good track record of resolving issues quickly when they appear. Until they do you only have a few choices. Use the workaround until the solution appears, waste time complaining about it, or sell the iMac and purchase a different product. That's really about all you can do!
    It was good of you to spend your valuable time, and yes it is valuable, trying to help the engineers or service reps solve the issue. That they spent that much time with you should show their commitment to solving this issue.
    Be patient, give them a chance, they have not had long to try and figure this out.

  • Should I exchange my I Book G4 for the New Intel IMAC

    I just bought an G4 i book on 12-31 and maybe i should have waited untill after the conference to get a mac computer, but i really wanted the G4, and i been wanting to switch from PC to mac for a while, I guess i just chose the wrong time. I am not sure what to do now, should i take back my ibook and get an imac? I feel really dumb about getting the G4, even though it is great. I know they are going to come out with an intel one this year. Can anyone help me out and let me know what i should do? Any advice would be great. Thanks

    Hi Daniel,
    To your response about the programs not being able to work with the new Intels is true for the most part.Apple Developer Connection for a long time has had links on how to change program's code into Universal Binary. Many companies have switched their programs over to Universal Binary. Microsoft Office is available to work on the PowerMac. The PowerMac also works with FileMaker Pro and Quicken. I don't use MS Office or anything made by MS because I have iWorks '05, which is even better. It is fully compatible will MS Office.
    I am getting a PowerMac solely because I need a faster and more powerful machine. I have 8000 photos (2000 on iBook 6000 on iMac) and I can't fit and edit them all at the same time. I need the portability and the power to run the "pro" applications.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon
    PS I wouldn't say upgrade it to an Intel Mac unless you need to. The new Intel computers come with MS Office Test Drive, so I am guessing it works

  • Performance issue with brand new intel iMac extreme

    I am at a loss to explain a problem I've been having and I thought I might put it out to you guys.
    In September I purchased a macbook Pro (2.4 ghz, 4 GB RAM) to use in video editing with Final Cut Pro, and for the most part I've been thrilled. I use 1TB LaCie external drives connected via FW800, and perform Multiclip editing with 4-5 video streams at a time and only on occasion have dropped frames during the editing process.
    In December I determined that I needed to have an additional system, and thought a 2.8Ghz Intel iMac extreme would be an excellent choice, since for the same price I could get a little more power in the processor, more hard drive space and a bigger screen to work on. When we picked up the new system in the store (The Grove Apple Store in LA), we had them upgrade the memory to 4GB.
    Since day one we have had performance issues, including problems playing streaming and DVD video, severe delays mounting and unmounting drives (firewire and USB) and application images, and freezing while doing even simple tasks like printing or checking email. These problems occur even while there are no external drives are connected. I have none of these issues with the Macbook Pro, which has virtually an identical set of programs installed, and both running the same version of Leopard.
    I already took the original iMac back to the store, and they exchanged it, but did not have 4GB sets of RAM in stock so they took the RAM from the original machine and put it in the new one. They said if I continued to have problems then it was most likely the RAM and I should come back when they got more in stock. I DID have the same problems with the new machine, and took it back to the Apple Store and they swapped the memory. It seemed to improve the issue, but now I'm seeing the same severe performance issues again.
    All tech support can do is tell me to do a PRAM reset, which seems to improve things very temporarily (but that may be my imagination) or have me restart, which at least has the ability to make the printing of documents capable.
    What I'm wondering is if it is likely that the RAM is the issue and I just got another bad batch, or if the iMac has some weird glitch that isn't present in the macbook Pro...?? Or could I have possibly gotten 2 bad systems in a row? It's extremely frustrating, and I KNOW it shouldn't be this way! It's so bad I get better performance out of my single-core G5 tower! How do I get a good working system that operates like it should? Am I better off getting another Macbook Pro? I'd rather not for several reasons...
    I have xbench on both the MBP and the iMac and can provide test numbers if they'll help, as well as any other info.
    Thank you so much for reading my novella of a post and also for any insight you have!
    Best,
    Travis

    Hi!
    I got the same problem with my MacBook when it still was new in may 2006. It was supposed to be one of the faster Laptops around but it was soooo slow it drove me nuts. I can only advise to have a look if there is something hugging up your RAM and run some tests using these programs on your machine:
    Xbench:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10081
    MenuMeters:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10451
    If they show any unusual results you might have your problem...
    As to my problem with the MacBook: I did a complete re-install (writing the harddisk over with zeroes) and suddenly everything was just fine. (But be sure to back all your files before that, I learned this one the hard way.) I know it is just a standard answer, but it worked out for me this time...
    Hope this helps in some ways.
    Cheers,
    Rene

  • Will my printer and scanner work with the new intel mac?

    My first post.. so I hope i am in the right place! (was in wrong place last attempt!)
    I want to buy the new intel...but I would like to know for sure if it will work with my scanner and printer.
    Printer is Epson Stylus Photo 2100 and the scanner is Microtek ScanMaker 4900.
    I have emailed both Epson and Microtek... phoned Epson.. and I still do not know the answer.
    The responses were
    "At this point in time with have been given no information on whether our printer drivers will work or not....".
    "Yes it will work with OSX 10.4"
    "As you know this new intel chip has just hit the market. This particular configuration is in the alpha stage of testing. As of now there has not been any reports or customer correspondence of any concerns."
    I have been scanning these posts and it seems that only the operating system is relevant? If anyone could help I would appreciate it. I am finally able to replace my old, old, well loved G4 but am worried I will make the wrong decision.

    Thanks all for the helpful comments. I am getting closer to going out and buying the intel. As for the Canon printer... its not really an option for me, since the Epson cost me more than the computer will! But I will keep it in mind for the future. And do you think this applies to digital cameras as well Tomzo? I have been considering buying my first digital.. and thought the pentax might be best, since it apparently can use the lenses from my film camera.
    Thanks again all..I will keep checking the apple site list and the web sites as suggested by you.

  • Is iDVD included with the new Lion iMacs?

    Macrumors just posted this on the front page, and I want to make sure iDVD is included with the new iMacs (that come with Lion pre-installed).
    from Macrumors front page:
    "Apple is in the process of phasing out iWeb and iDVD and does not offer them for download via the Mac App Store or include them on the new MacBook Air and Mac mini."
    And I notice on Apple's iMac page, they don't mention iDVD:
    http://www.apple.com/imac/software.html#ilife

    I was looking at this thread yesterday because I also use iDVD extensively and decided to do some searching on the Apple website. It appears they're wanting to concentrate on iMovie (new "movie trailers" feature plus new themes) and FCP X which hasn't proven to be a big hit so far. And, since they've built in "share" to pretty much everywhere (Facebook, etc, etc) from both iPhoto and iMovie, I guess they think it's time to ditch iDVD.
    May I suggest that anyone using iDV D send some feedback about keeping it:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
    As for saving on a DVD, I don't believe that has anything to do with it; I believe it is Apple's idea to move us away from physical media and become MAS and "iCloud dependent". No install media, no external backups - only digital downloads and iCloud storage/backup. I'll stick with my LaCie's and SL if necessary (fortunately I have a fully functioning SL clone).

  • Does itunes work with  the new intel core duo processor?

    i want to go buy a new laptop and the one I have in mind has the new intel core duo T2300 or the T2400 processor. Can i still download itunes onto this computer? Does it meet the requirments becuase the download page says you need a pentium or BETTER? The new macs are putting them in their computers, but will the windows and intel duo be able to support the itunes application?

    are you asking if it is compatible meaning will it
    install/run or are you asking if flash is
    optimized to take advantage of this particular setup?

  • Will my Apple VESA mount work with the new 27" iMac?

    Hi
    I have an alu iMac 24", model: iMac7,1
    I have the Apple VESA mount kit for it.
    I have just ordered the new 27" iMac and I'm wondering if I can use the same VESA mount for the 27" when it arrives?
    Thanks
    /Martin

    Thanks for the reply.
    I'm not sure.
    Is that the VESA mount that they have always had on the Apple Store for the 24" and now they have just added the 27" in the text, or is it a whole new VESA mount (which then is backwards compatible with the 24")?
    I tried looking for an Apple support email address to ask this, but that seems hard to find.

  • Need to use my FCP 5 fast. Will it likely not work on the new Intel iMac?

    Hi,
    I purchased a standalone version of FCP 5 about 6 months ago. I am thinking about getting a new Intel-based iMac, and I need to use the program fast (so I can't wait for Apple to send me that 5.1 upgrade). How likely is it that FCP 5 will still run on the new iMac?
    Thanks!

    It does work, although "not supported" i.e. if you have problems with it it's not Apple's problem.
    As stated in numerous threads posted in this forum, hit the Escape key when you get the error message upon opening the App.
    Not believeing everything you read on the Apple site but believing what's written here is kind of a hypocritical statement isn't it? Believe me = Bwa Ha Ha Ha! (pun intended, Studio x)
    And FWIW I think you'll go far in life! And that means a lot coming from me.
    Welcome to the discussions!

  • Can the new intel iMacs run Classic?

    Hi just wondering if anyone knows if you can run Classic on intel
    Intel iMac 17" 1 Gig of Ram 1.83 ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The inability to (easily?) run Classic was a big and unexpected issue for me, when I upgraded from my PowerPC 7500 running OS 8.6 to an Intel iMac. Frustratingly, the iMac had lots of software and lots of Help suggestions about how to migrate from OS 8 or 9 to OS 10... but none of it was useful on an Intel machine.
    After a fair amount of work and some third-party shareware, got it all to work. Moving (exporting then importing) Quicken records was the most difficult task. The most persistent problem is the absence of extension or type/creator information on the files I've moved, which renders them invisible to Spotlight.

  • How do I perform a 'hard refresh' on the new Intel iMac?

    I'm trying to see my own favicon I use with my website. From the Turning Gate Forum I get the advise to perform a hard refresh: SHIFT-CMD-R.
    Nothing happens! Is this the right key-combination?

    I've never heard of a hard refresh but I would try clearing your cache (Safari - Reset Safari, or Firefox - History - Clear; make sure you select Favicons if you see that option), and restarting your browser.

  • ISight, iMovieHD and new intel iMac

    It looks like apple fixed the problem with using the internal iSight with iMovie HD with the new intel iMac. The user's manual details the steps required to record with the iSight directly into iMovieHD. Finally
    Glor

    Don't know if you could do this before, but remember that the new iMacs come with the new version of iLife (06). So it is probably more to do with that, than the computer.

  • New intel iMac 20" problems...please advise.

    I just purchased my first Mac last week. It is a 20" Intel iMac Core Duo with 2 gigs of RAM (apple RAM installed on site). After a day of use I began to have random kernel panics. Later, my system would shut down after two hours of use. I reset the SMC and that did the trick for 3 days. Now the top of the unit near the camera is getting hot and when I boot up from a shut down, the system does not boot to the desktop... it boots right into sleep mode, then takes about 15 to 20 minutes to wake from sleep mode where it goes into a couple of restatrs. Over the phone assistance has not been able to diagnose the problem and hardware tests all indicate that there are no problems. Furthermore, my work hours make it realy difficult for me to schedule time with a genius. I switched from a pc to a mac because I was tired of the problems with my pcs, but I am having far more trouble with my mac.

    I will call apple when I get home. I have apple care for three years. The tech support has been good, but they are worried about the heat eminating from the area by the camera. Sadly, all the techs at my local apple store tell me that they are unfamiliar with the new intel iMac core duo and don't know what else to do. To top it all off, there was a popping sound from my mac and the the sound went out. I toggled the volume on the keyboard and the sound came back. I was told over the phone that I have to make an appointment with a genius to look at my system, but that they would only replace it if necessary. Sadly, my work schedule does not permit this. I wish I could just walk in and get the blasted thing replaced.

  • Has anyone used the new 5K imac with AE CC and is it a big improvment speed wise or not?

    I am thinking about getting the 5K imac with the i7 4.4 GHz quad-core and AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5, but my big concern is that the video card is not Nvidia and does not use cuda core.
    I currently have a late 2012 imac with the 3.4 Intel Core i7 and a Nvidia GeFroce GTX 680MX 2048 MB and sometimes it is very slow when working with a lot of effects or layers.
    1. If you have any experience with the 5K imac, please let me know how you like it?
    2. Was Apple going to the AMD video card a good or bad thing?
    3. Do you think I would benefit any speed gain with the new 5K imac and by what percentage.

    The AMD video card is not a good hardware selection with the current media content creation software. Open CL is still lagging behind CUDA in performance and the CPU's did not change with the new Imac. So basically it's a new Imac with a updated video card and 5K screen. Not something I would suggest for Adobe if you already have an Nvidia solution.
