Brand New iMac 24" 2.8 GHz Intel 2 Core Extreme 500 GB Hard Drive Issues
Had a 2 week old iMac 20" 2.4 GHz 320 GB hard drive that I purchased from the Apple Store online on 12/09/07. Got delivered to me on 12/13/07. After 7 calls (on 7 different days) to Apple Care Support, my iMac could not get onto the internet network in my apartment.
Had Apple swap my unit and I got the top of the line model out there now, the iMac 24" 2.8 GHz Intel 2 Core Duo Extreme with 500 GB hard drive. Still, can't connect to the internet.
I've got Time Warner Cable as my internet service provider (High Speed Internet Access). I'm using a brand new Airport Extreme as my base station in the living room, and a brand new (all exchanged through AppleCare) Airport Express which I'm using to extend the network as a bridge.
My new iMac is in the study den in my apartment, and my MacBook Pro gets signal from anywhere in the apartment, but when I use the iMac, and click on my secure network using the WPA2 passcode that I set up, the iMac tries to connect, and says "Connection Time Out" and then "Connection Fail."
I've read posts throughout these forums saying that there are issues with the new aluminum iMacs that came out.
I'm running Leopard 10.5.1 on both machines right now, and even with the swap from the 20" to the 24", I still have the same problems.
Gonna have to make another angry call to AppleCare Support tonight to see if I can get this thing resolved.
Anyone else have any other suggestions to getting this fixed for my iMac?
What about using a different router besides the Apple Extreme or Airport Express? Any ideas?
Thanks
ok try this with your MAC BOOK PRO
Go to your system preferences go to the apple icon and then hit system preferences. From section where it says Internet & Network, there you should see an icon folder that says Sharing, In tiger its like that I don´t know how it is in Leopard, but if it is the same we are in luck. Ok Go to sharing and in sharing go to airport option in airport option make a 128 bit wep key and make a sick *** long password hit ok. Now go check the box that says Airport and then hit the start button to start using your MAC BOOK PRO as a router. Now go to your sick *** I wish I had your 24 inch Imac and here I am stuck with my old Imac early intel, and hit the airport extreme icon oh by the way you should also enable your MAC BOOK PRO airport extreme which now it is a WIFI Router trasmitter I Hope I was of any help

brand new iMac 23.GHz Intel Core i5. Mounts external drive for time machine, then dismounts after backup is complete.
The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -
My 2007 iMac is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I must upgrade from OS10.5.8 to at least 10.7. I know I must go to 10.6.8 on the way. Two questions: 1. As a bright but ignorant person, what problems will I encounter in upgrading? 2. Should I go to 10.7 or all the way to Mavericks?
Thanks for your reply--makes me not want to get involved with Mavericks, and I appreciate the heads-up. What I hadn't thought about is that by upgrading my OS I would also have to upgrade from my Adobe CS1. Since I'm retired from my art career, I'm reluctant to spend the dough on new CS; but I still like using PhotoShop and InDesign (and obviously don't care that they are outmoded). But I'll bet any newer Mac OS won't run my old software.

What version of osx would give an Imac 24'' 2.3 ghz intel core 2 Duo, with 4gb of DDR2 SDRAM, the best performance? To do illustration and design jobs.
Would the more recents os versions increase the overall performance? Is it worth it?Hello!
Snow Leopard is what i am currently using. But i guess it does need some clean up and maybe a clean install to see if it gets faster.
I believe 4gb is the limit for this model, although i've seen some with 6gb…
Thank you for the help -
HT203296 No solution listed for 27" iMac running 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
I have a 27" iMac, Mid 2011.
Model Identifier iMac12,2
The processor is a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5.
I am running OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50)
Boot ROM Version is IM121.0047.B1F
SMC Version (system) is 1.72f2
I have installed Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac Build 7.0.15055 (Revision 740667; March 5, 2012)
I have created a virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 r2 Enterprise with SP1.
I am attempting to enable Hyper-V on this server.
When I attempt to do so, the Add Roles Wizard in Server Manager returns the following error:
Hyper-V cannot be installed
The processor on this computer is not compatible with Hyper-V. To install this role, the processor must have a supported version of hardware -assisted virtualization, and that feature must be turned on in the BIOS.
Parallels take on the issue is summed up on this thread:
http://forum.parallels.com/thread3273.html
Apple has the following information:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2744
I have just gotten off the phone with a senior tech support representative from Apple. He is elevating my support request to an engineer, who hopefully will not tell me that this is a Parallels issue, and Apple doesn't provide support for Parallels. I should receive a response in four business days.
I figure it's one of three things...V
VT-X support is disabled on this machine. (Solution, Apple releases an EFI that enables it.)
VT-X support is enabled on this machine, but Parallels thinks it is not. (Solution, switch to Virtualbox?)
VT-X support is enabled on this machine, but the virtual machine is emuilating a processor that does not support it (Solution, read the fabulous manual)
I'd love to hear from anyone who may have a solution to this. If I get more information, I will update this post.
P.S. - Why isn't there an option for Mac OS X v10.7.3 Lion in the "You Must Choose a Community" pulldown menu for this form?
I have run sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features from terminal, and I see that my processor supports VT-X. Yet, my virtual server says my processor doesn't support it. Help?No solution - but I have the same problem. Using iMac 27 inch 3.1 Ghz Lion 10.7.3 Parallels Desktop 7. All software updates are current.
Also checked with run sysctl command and have VT-X supported.
Within the windows environment I have software that checks for periodic errors. It now shows a bios error "Consider upgrading your bios". This message does not show on the actual WIN PC. Both environments are identical, as I just migrated and have not made any changes to either the PC or the VM.
Hope the additional info helps. -
Lion is installed and all software updates are applied. The following error report has been sent to Apple.

My new iMac will not allow me to daisy chain my external hard drives - what can I do?!
I just purchased the new late 2013 iMac 27" and all is wonderful except it will NOT allow me to daisy chain my external hard drives which is a HUGE problem because I'm a professional photographer & I won't be able to access my images unless I can sort this out. I know I can purchase a new giant hard drive but i'd prefer not to because I have about 12 TB of data which will be expensive & time consuming to transfer & I'd also prefer not to have that much info tied into one device. Ultimately I will need to get a Drive with multiple bays but I'd really like a short term solution that works for the drives I currently have. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!!
Why can't you daisy chain your drives. If it's because the iMac only has a Thunderbolt port and you have Firewire drivers purchase the Thunderport to Firewire adaptor from Apple: Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)

worst $30 i ever spent. period.
Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I've never participated in a forum before; so, please let me know if I'm going about it wrong.
My question is this: Can a Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive that was previously used on a PC be set up for use on my Mac Pro? I'm preparing to upgrade the Mac to the most recent software version and it was suggested I back everything up first.
I reformatted the hard drive so it is currently empty. There are icons on my Mac desktop for One Touch 4 and Maxtor Manager but other than that nothing appears to be working. There are no drives showing in the Maxtor Manager so I suspect that's where I need to start. However, I don't know enough about what I'm doing to move ahead on my own and I don't want to screw anything up. If anyone knows the steps I should take next, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you.I am embarrassed how simple that was. I did warn you that I'm technologically challenged; I'm pretty sure that proved it.
The external hard drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The link you provided indicates the external drive will work with Time Machine. I've never worked with Time Machine and don't know what my next step should be. Would you please walk me through it?
Your help is greatly appreciated. From the points you have accumulated, I can tell you have helped many others and I thank you for your generosity. -
Numbers running very slow on Yosemite, new 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 Fusion Drive
When I initially start working in Numbers, it runs very smoothly, but after a minute or two, it drags like crazy. Even just to highlight a cell takes 5 seconds or more. It's really terrible. I've done permissions and disk repair. Any advice as to why this is happening and how to correct it? I have a nearly brand-new Mac desktop, 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 drive...almost a terrabyte of free space.
I did just update the Numbers software...still have the problem. However, I noticed that when I "Save" the work, it goes back to running quickly. This lasts about 2 minutes, then slow city again.

System overload imac 3.4 ghz intel core i7
Hey, for some reason I get that **** System overload -10011, though i have a brand new imac 27" 3,4 ghz quad core i7 and 16 gig ram.
I use mostly DSP for effects, and I use a Virus Ti2. The CPU meter is only on 1 core and its spiked all the way up.
If i bump the process buffer range to medium, it all works good, except that my Virus wants to go on small.
I know there are several threads about the system overload. Just couldnt find how to set it all up so it works good on all cores, to benefit from the quad core.
Can anyone be so kind and help me?
Just ignore if you say "use search", i did. Havent seen many threads on the new imac i7Hi
These any help?

Greetings to all from Chicago!
Just purchased a brand new IMAC (27 inch, 2.93GHZ QUAD-CORE INTELCORE I7, 8GB 1333MHZ DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB, ATI RADEON HD 5750 1GB GDDR5).
Previously had 24 Inch MAC (plastic on the back which is the point of my comparison. It still stand right next to the new one so I can compare.
The new Machine gets so hot that you can burn your hand. I am only running Logic Pro and Internet (same as on the old Machine). Measured via ISTAT PRO, the machine boots at at 25-28 Celsius (CPU temperature), then quickly warms up to 45-50 Celsius. It maxes out at 65-70 Celsius and stays there, NO MATTER which programs are ran. At that point, you can't even touch the top of the computer.
By contrast, my old IMAC 24 inch, stays cool, noiseless and never goes beyond 40-45 Celsius, when the same apps (Logic + intenet) run.
What should I do? Are all new IMACS like this? Is this because of the aluminum back? Shall I return it and wait for next year's model? Exchange? Repair? ( I have Apple Care). Here is how Apple advertised the new IMACS:
Cool, quiet components
"The widescreen iMac display allows more room to separate the two hottest components, the CPU and the GPU. This keeps things cool inside the iMac enclosure. Apple engineers also implemented an intelligent control system that monitors temperatures and delivers just the right amount of airflow to critical components. And the three fans inside iMac have been tuned to be ultraquiet. The result of all this tinkering with heat and sound? A system that operates at 18 decibels when idle — so quiet, you hardly know it’s on.*
Well, the reality is that it is a lot nosier and heats up a lot more than the predecessor, unless I have a defected unit.
Thanks in advance for all the input and recommendations
Cheers,the components of the imac ARE cool & quiet, compared to other components. but don't make the mistake to think this means the imac is cool: it's an all-in-one-design, which just means it will get pretty hot, that's only natural. still, compared to normal computer components, the imac hardware is pretty cool, but that doesn't mean the case has to be cool. mine can get pretty hot too. I don't burn my hands, but it's painful to keep the hand on it.
as for the temperatures: 40-50 degrees celsius are normal for the CPU temp, everything above seems unnormal to me when your computer is idleling. what you didn't mention was your air temperature. are you dealing with hot weather currently?
anyway, also make sure in activity monitor no process is running wild and uses CPU. remember that the i7 has 8 cores, so 12% CPU usage actually means that one core runs at full speed!
besides that, if you have normal weather and no process runs wild and your CPU temp still goes over 50 degrees, I would call apple and they will likely exchange your imac -
Final cut studio 2 on new imac 24'' 2.8 GHz
Hi,
I am, in the near future, starting wedding videography and my idea is to purchase Final Cut Studio 2 and the new imac 24" 2.8GHz with 4gb RAM and the 1TB hard drive.
My question is this, will this computer be powerful enough for me to run the Final Cut Studio "smoothly" while editing HD quality video?
My business will be based on this so i want to be sure!!!
Thanks in advance!I am, in the near future, < </div>
How do you communicate with us then?
Do not start your business based on a computer and a piece of software. Research the business first, then decide what you will need and then figure out a way to finance it. When you get down to starting your event photography business, the computer is going to be the smallest captial investment you make; do not scrimp on it.
The iMac will only satisfy your needs for a few months but it will do the job. You must also have printers, scanners, backup routines and external drives. Umm, insurance.

Can I Upgrade my computer to Lion. I have a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor. My computer is 6 years old. Right now I have Snow Leopard.
I have an old iMac about that age that I upgraded to Lion to test my 3rd party applications for compatibility. It upgraded quite simply. Please backup or save all your info/etc to an external CD/DVD/Hard drive, then try to run the installer. The Lion installer will analize your Mac for compatibility before it does anything, and will alert you to it's decisision. My 17" iMac is also 2 GHZ Intel core duo. Surprisingly for many of the things I use it for it works as good as my multi thousand dollar MacPro workstation. Best of luck. But Lion isn't compatible with many third party applications and drivers for printers; scanners; etc.

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?
From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck

Building an "infinite" UIView.
I'm reasonably new to the IOS world, so be gentle. I want to make a UIView with shapes on it. I am adding subviews and these are responsible for the shapes - all very well and good. There can be a LOT of shapes, so imagine a very wide panoramic view,
