Bluetooth headphones and the (Intel) iMac

I want to buy a set of Bluetooth wireless headphones to use with my iMac (Intel) which is running OS X Lion as well as with my iPod Touch and iPad. The iMac supports Apple's wireless Bluetooth keyboard and Trackpad. Will it also support Bluetooth headphones?
Any recommendations for those headphones?
Many thanks!

I would like to connect both my iphone and ipod to my bluetooth headphones at the same time. Is there anything that I can buy to accomplish this

I am trying to connect both my ipod touch 5h gen and also my iphone 5c to my bluetooth headphones at the same time. I have been told because of the way the operating system works this is not possible. I used to be able to do this on my old non apple handset.
The reason I would like to do this is because when I am listening to my ipod and have my phone in my pocket it is not connected to bluetooth and I am missing important phone calls some of which are business calls.
Is there any type of device that i can get from apple to allow this to work.
Regards

The iOS implementation of the Bluetooth Protocol does not permit use of a Bluetooth device with more than one source at a time.

What is the difference between the Intel HD Graphics 5000 and the Intel Iris Pro Graphics in the current iMacs

What is the difference between the Intel HD Graphics 5000 and the Intel Iris Pro Graphics in the current iMacs?

I am assuming you are talking about PPC Macs? Those haven't been manufactured or sold in years (since early 2006 I believe) when Apple started using Intel processors. There are still some apps which run on PPC code only which makes them incompatible with the last three Mac operating systems.
There are different Applecare products depending on which Mac product you buy, although the coverage is about the same (except for iOS devices).

What usb keyboards are compatible with the Intel iMac

Please can someone tell me what USB Apple Keybouards are compatable with the intel Imac
howard

Some PC keyboards may not work with the Mac. Especially, specialty gaming keyboards will not work with Macs and OS X. Some PC keyboards are designed to specifically work with newer versions of Windows at that's it!
They may not even work as a basic keyboard, but not entirely sure.
I know for a fact specialty gaming keyboards do not work at all on a Mac because there have been posts here from gamers who tried to use special gaming keyboards and mice and they would not function on a Mac.
If you know anyone with a Mac, ask them if they have a spare Mac keyboard you can try before buying.
Good Luck!

Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD and Soundtrack Pro 1.0.2 and new Intel iMac

I have the both FCP and Soundtrack Pro versions listed above. I'm thinking about picking up a new Intel iMac. Will I have to pay $199 or $99 to upgrade to FCP Studio. I just purchased Soundtrack Pro recently, if I could upgrade for just $99 and get Shake and iDVD that would be a deal...probably still a deal for $199.
I also use CS2, seems Adobe is a little confusing to me. Will I have to pay to get CS2 native for the Intel iMac? Any idea on cost and timeliness.
Separately, how will FCP run on a 20" Intel iMac once upgraded to Universal version, which I'll have to do, since it won't run under Rosetta? I currently only do Mini DV but should I plan on getting the extra video memory now, planning on eventually going into the HD video realm?
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments...thinking about getting the Intel iMac via CompUSA with their interest free deals tomorrow.

well, same situation here, I was about to order a Macbook Pro but then decided to saty with our beloved G platform. the reason is that it will take some time for our Pro Apps to become fully /natively compatible with Intel and I just can't wait that much.
as for your question about using an iMac with FCP, the answer would be a;
"Yes" if you're going to work with DV only footage (using an external HD for your captured media is a must). and a
"No" if you plan to work with HD material in the future. there you've got no choice but a PowerMac G5 with a fast Graphic Card and a special SD/HD card or box to capture the footage.
résumé: if you're a serious FCP user, go for something expandible, go for a Powermac.

How Do The Intel iMacs Handle HandBrake?

I've currently got a G4 1.33ghz Powerbook, and while I love it, it doesn't seem to have the power I need for harder stuff, like running HandBrake. I've been thinking of getting an iMac because a newer desktop ought to be a lot faster than what I have now. And I know that a new Universal version of HandBrake has just come out, so no more Rosetta.
My question is: how much of a performance increase would I see moving up from my Powerbook to a new Intel iMac when using HandBrake? Would it be a substantial one?
And anyone who has an Intel iMac and has/had an older G4 Powerbook, I'd love to hear your comments on the difference of perfomance.
1.33 GHz 12" PowerBook G4 1.25GB ram "ANTIGEN" | iPod Photo 60 GB "ENZYME" Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I have no expeience with PPC macs as the intel iMac is my first Apple.
I must say the whole process of ripping DVDs with Handbrake is much easier. No more multi-step processes and much faster. My "old" PC was a 3G P4 with 1G RAM and it was not as fast as the iMac.
I have already ripped all my daughters movies onto the machine and can call them up at will with front row. Given she changes her mind every half an hour this is a God send

Do these programs run on the Intel Imacs

I wanna get the intel imacs, but i just wanna know if these programs will work on them.
-Photoshop cs2 or the entire creative suite
-Dreamweaver
-Micorsoft office suite
-Flash 8
-Firefox

There's a special Flash plug-in supplied with the Intel-Macs because the distribution version of Flash is not Intel-Mac compatible. The other programs will all run via Rosetta. There is a universal-binary version of Firefox (it's not the standard Firefox distribution, rather a Deer Park variant.)
Read my user tip on migrating:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
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 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
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. These versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel-Macs. 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 only current choice is USB Overdrive. 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 (does not work), TechTool Pro (does not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Should I Updrade to the Intel iMac?

My dad is thinking about upgrading to an Intel iMac. All he'll use it for is word processing and e-mail. From those that have one, how good are they? Any problems? Also, my dad did all his writing in Appleworks 6. Is That installed on the Intel iMac?

Actually, AppleWorks isn't a universal binary, and although it runs okay for me, it's awaful slow. Instead of purchasing it for $79, you could just get iWork '06 for $20 more. Pages, although the interface is different from AppleWorks's, is a good word processor, and doesn't take too long to get used to.
Or, as an alternative, you could use TextEdit. Not really.....

What spec PC's are the intel imacs equal to?

Ive looked all over online for some sort of comparison table but cant find anything...
Just wondering what sort of PC spec the intel imacs are equivelent to?

There is no chart to look at anymore as they use the same CPUs now. A Core Duo T2300 is a Core Duo T2300 processor, no matter what OS it is running.
Match the CPU in the two systems you are comparing and you will have a basic idea of, well nothing since they would be essentially the same computer.
Tiger is the difference now, and it is a huge difference.

Can I use PowerPC Apps on the Intel iMac?

Hi guys!
The reason I am entering the same question on both the G5 and the Intel forum is because many of you may have moved from PowerPC to Intel and have had the same question...
Will my PowerPC Apps work in the Intel system?
I've been able to install both my Photoshop CS and Flash 8 on my new Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. They are working ok but when I open "Activity Monitor" and check the memory usage I see most of the processes are showing as Intel but the Photoshop and Flash are showing as PowerPC type.
I also note that 1GB ram is almost taken, even though I only opened the programs, didn't even open a file.
Is it ok to keep running these Apps even though they are PowerPC Apps?
Would they harm the system?
Is there a workaround, a fix from Adobe, or will I have to buy the newest Photoshop and Flash? As Photoshop CS and Flash 8 are perfect for me... no need to buy the newest version regarding functionalities.
Thanks for any idea!

A great response from another Mac user at the Intel forum:
**Kenichi Watanabe**
*When you run PowerPC apps on an Intel Mac, a translator called Rosetta is used by the system. This will use more RAM and those apps will not run as fast as their equivalent Universal apps. However, unless your G5 was a Power Mac dual or quad core, an Intel iMac running a PowerPC app (using Rosetta) may be as fast or faster than the G5 running the same app natively.*
*Will my PowerPC Apps work in the Intel system?*
*So the answer is YES, most (but not all) PowerPC apps will run on Intel Macs using Rosetta. Increasing your iMac's RAM will improve performance (but that's always true).*
*Would they harm the system?*
*NO. Rosetta is a built-in part of the system. Sort of like Classic, but better integrated and more seamless.*
*Adobe was late in making their apps Universal, but I believe they have completed the transition. The upgrades are not free, unfortunately. If your current versions run fast enough on your Intel iMac, you should keep using them.*
Again...
*Thanks both Kenichi and Miriam!*

A few Questions about the intel iMac

Hello,
I have just ordered the 1.83ghz 17" intel imac.
I have bought the imac to replace my PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8 as its getting tired and falling apart now (nearly 3 years old) no apple care on it
I Have upgraded it with 2gb Ram.
My question is, i use the desktop mac i have for music using Logic Pro 7 and GarageBand, i have found GarageBand to be slow on my PowerMac G5 would the intel IMac be man/women (not trying to be sexest) for the job?
ie would it be the same power / more powerful than my G5?
Thanks for any advice.
Stuart
Ps Sorry if this has been asked about 1000 times, i did do a search and couldn't find the answers i was looking for, but if there is a thread about it please could you be kind enough to reply with the link.

Out of my personal experience, In School I use the Dual 2.0 GHZ G5 with 1GB of ram and I am using at home the 17inch 1.83 Intel iMac with 1GB or ram as well and seeing a big render difference with the iMac compared to the Dual G5. The only thing that ***** but will be solved soon is using non-universal software yet. Rosetta works and you get the job done but you dont see a speed difference using the power PC apps. Anything Universal is really really fast and I am satisfied with the increase of performance.

How stable is Firefox 3 on the intel iMac ?

OK, the new iMac has arrived to replace the G4 that died !
My wife likes Firefox as a browser rather than Safari but how stable is Firefox 3 on the intel iMac, as my older macbook did not like it and I reverted back to Firefox 2 ?
Cheers

There are no issues whatsoever with Firefox on the new Intel iMac. I have had mine about a year without one issue... in fact... I have had Safari freeze up twice and never any issue with Firefox. That was one of the first apps I loaded when I got mine.
Enjoy!!!
Cheers,

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
Then
Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
Both machines should now have the same library
Disconnect H the ethernet cable
Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
Do the same on the other machine.
Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases
Setting up home sharing

Can you use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad 4?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I can use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad?
It is so my children can watch a film or listen to music together.
Thanks

No

Providing Audio spatialization with headphones and the JMF

Hi everybody,
For an audio conference system build with the JMF, I am required to enhance the system by providing audio spatialization from each incoming audio stream received from a remote user.
The aim is to duplicate each incoming audio stream into 2 audio streams where I will apply a digital filter for the spatialization. Then one audio signal should be output to the left ear of an headphones and the other audio signal should be output to the right ear of the headphones.
I think that JMF does not enable to do that but instead it might be possible to do that with the the Java3D API...
Please do answer if you have any idea as I am completely stuck.
Thanks.

hi were u able to find answer to your problem..
could you help me.
am doing the exact thing..
the only difference is am doing it over a network.
