Brand new iMac kills home network

I have a home wi-fi network with a BT Voyager 2100 router and several PCs and laptops. All works fine. So today - I power up my brand new iMac and the home network stops. IE and Firefox on the PCs give "unable to find xxxx" error messages. I have tried the iMac with both wireless and ethernet connections to my router - same result. Safari on the iMac simply does nothing, blank screen. To get my internet back I have to power off the iMac and then re-start the router several times. Eventually all is well again. How do I get my iMac to work with a BT Voyager 2100 router?

update to my post - an old iMac G4 works just fine. So I guess that basic connectivity between iMac technology and my router is OK... so why does a brand new iMac give problems ?

  • Vmware fusion 5.0.2 cannot connect to network on my brand new iMac '27 late 2012

    Dear friends,
    I have tried to install Windows 8 (x64bit) Pro., Windows XP, and CentOS 6.0 using vmware fusion 5.0.2 over my brand new iMac '27 late 2012. However, neither one can connect to the Internet. There was no problem with the same installation on my iMac 2011.
    The network board recognized by Windows 8 is Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection.
    In the folder of vmware fusion's setting files on Mac OS, I found a file called Windows 8 x64.vmx, and
    there is a line as follows.
    ethernet0.virtualDev ="e1000e"
    Any friend has the same problem or can give me some hints?
    Thanks a lot!

  • I'm trying to transfer data (docs, emails) from G4 iMac running os 10.3.9 to brand new iMac on 10.8.1  I'm stuck, any help greatly appreciated.  (Ethernet or wifi networking are both options if I can figure out how to get the machines to communicate.)

    I have the old machine backed up onto an external firewire disk but can't hook that up to the new imac as I'm waiting for delivery of a firewire 400/800 adaptor - therefore starting the old machine up as a slave is also subject to the same delay.
    I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
    I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
    All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
    Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
    At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine.  By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
    Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.
    - or use Migration Assistant but in my experience, Migration Assistant isn't very reliable and fails to migrate large amounts of stuff.

    I need to change the home folder name. I just bought this mac today and my cousin put his name in because he had to back up his phone while we were still at the store so he could get a new phone and now my brand new imac says his name in the home folder. This is very frustrating. I would not have let him put his name in there if I didn't think you could change it. Someone please help!

    Delete his user account and create your own, using your name.

  • Brand new IMac can't connect to Internet while using Vista Ultimate

    The subject is pretty much it, but basically.  We just bought a brand new IMac and I happened to have an old copy of Windows Vista Ultimate lying around and wanted to partition some hard drive space for gaming.  During the installation a message popped up that said Lion only supports Windows 7.  I went through with the installation and after Windows started I loaded in my old Snow Leopard CD.  I installed the drivers and went through the set up.  Everything seemed fine, but I am unable to connect to the Internet.  I plugged my desktop in via Ethernet to my router but still no Internet.  In my device manager there are many devices, including network controller, that have yellow exclamations next to them but I don't know how to update them or where to get the drivers.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I would be happy to take any steps to relay more information.  Thank you!

    New motherboard. So unless you can find, and want to mess around, which is why the pdf guide and all the faqs tell you what and how to install, and that only 7 is supported.
    Vista SP1 is no longer supported even by MS.
    You have Sandy Bridge based system with Thunderbolt, hence it needed new device drivers.
    Windows 7 64-bit SP1 Home Premium System Builder is $95

  • My brand new iMac keeps dropping wifi connections

    At least 2-3 times daily my brand new Imac drops the connection to my home network- I have tried to reboot my airport extreme- my ipad and iphone and nest thermostat do not have these issues of dropped connections.  As soon as I click the pale wireless signal at the top of the imac, it finds my home network and joins again, but it is a drag to have to redo this every time I want to stream music around the house or check my mail. Any Ideas?  All of my updates are current.  Thanks

    This has helped some although, unfortunately, not everybody:

    I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
    In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one.

  • Brand new iMac freezes constantly! Updates aren't helping!

    Hello everyone,
    This past Sunday I bought a brand new iMac intel Core 2 Duo with a 250 GB HDD and 1 GB of RAM. At home I set it up with my SAMSUNG 1080p 22" monitor, Apple bluetooth Keyboard and mightymouse, and a Western Digital 350 GB HDD hooked up via USB. I was excited to finally jump on the intel-based Mac bandwagon, as well as experience dual monitors for the first time.
    That was Sunday. Tuesday evening I was watching "Rome" on itunes on my Samsung monitor while surfing the web with Omniweb on the iMac monitor. All of sudden, everything locked up. I was able to move my cursor, but nothing responeded to my clicking. I hard booted the system and loaded everything I had going again, and sure enough, it locked up a few moments later. I ran system update, updated everything, then restarted. Time went by and although not immediatly, later that night it froze up on me again.
    Fast forward to last nite, and the freezing reached and all time high. 5 times. Each time was when I had a browser open in my iMac window and I had Quicktime playing in my Samsung monitor. I was watching a sports program, with the player fit to the screen.
    I have read many posts about intel iMacs freezing late last year, but there was a firmware update that evidently fixed that. I have this update installed, and I have had no luck. I have even contacted Apple Care via phone where I got instructed to unplug everything, plug it back in, start in safe mode, and delete cache. That didn't help me out at all. Am I right insuspecting I have a faulty Video card? I just ordered 4GB of RAM, could this be a RAM issue?

    When diagnostics are run on a freezing computer and nothing shows, I'll put the program into a testing loop because this means one of two things: the issue is heat related so running the diagnostics several more times will bring on the heat so that the issue shows up or the installed RAM is marginal, just flaky enough to show up now and again but not so far off that a run through of the memory test catches it on the first run.
    As I said in my original post, memory is always a suspect in a freezing or kernel panicking computer. And it does tend to top my list. But from what you describe I'm not quite willing to say, "Why don't you just wait until the RAM upgrade arrives?"

  • Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce

    Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

    If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
    Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

  • My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work.  Once another app is opened, it will not close either.  Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

    My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work.  Once another app is opened, it will not close either.  Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas?  If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,,  Thanks!

    For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
    For other Disk repair remedies see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
    Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

  • Brand New iMac and Linksys WAG54G v2 - WEP but not WPA

    Hi All
    I have a brand new iMac and a Linksys WAG54G v2 wireless network hub;
    I have set up the network with no encryption and everything works
    I have set up the network with WEP encryption and everything works
    I have set up the network with WPA encryption and everything works (PCs and printers) except my new iMac.
    Occasionally it works (1 in 50) but mostly it fails with the message "There was an error joining the AirPort network "<name of SSID>".
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot/fix this?
    Thanks

    I'm guessing my failures might be due to one of two problems; inability to find the router or connection timeouts; does anyone know how to monitor/snoop this connection and/or fix this problem?

  • Brand New iMac 24" internal or external hard drive upgrade to 1TB?

    I just purchased a brand new iMac 24" MB325LL with a 320GB hard drive. I currently have 432GB of data on my PC and I would like to upgrade the hard drive to 1TB. I have 2 options and I need your advice:
    Option #1 » Cost:CDN*$255*
    Buy a Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB from DirectCanada.com for CDN$155 (tax+shipping included). Get it installed by a certified Apple technician for CDN$100 in Toronto. I doubt I can get it installed for a lower fee.
    Option #2 » Cost:CDN*$317*
    Buy a LaCie D2 1TB external hard drive with Firewire 800 for CDN$317 (tax+shipping included) either from a U.S. retailer (e.g. iUnitek) or a Canadian one. Prices at Canadian online retailers start from CDN$266 + CDN$37 (13% tax) + CDN$18 (shipping) = CDN$321, which is just CDN$4 more than in the States, taking into account the exchange rate.
    So, there you. From the financial point of view, the incentive is to get an internal hard drive, which I don't mind at all. I'd like to install Vista on a 30-40GB partition, if that makes a difference. If I were to get an external hard drive, I would keep all of my data (e.g. music, movies, documents, music, etc) on it and reserve the internal 320GB hard drive for system files and OS.
    What would justify paying a premium for an external hard drive other than portability? If I were to get one, I would need to be able to access it not only from my iMac's Vista partition, but also from my HP Vista laptop. Same applies to the internal hard drive. If I were to get a Samsung F1, I would still need to access my mac files from Vista's partition (when I boot into Vista) as well as from my HP Vista laptop (over wi-fi). FYI: I have no use for Time Machine, since I've never deleted a file which I needed to recover..well, maybe once or twice. What I DO need is a utility to synchronize files across machines. Hence, I will need some kind of program to automatically sync my iMac files with my HP laptop files. Currently, I utilize SyncBackSE to sync files between my HP laptop and my PC over Wi-Fi every morning at 6am. Works like a charm.
    That's my dilemma in a nutshell. Any comments, suggestions and words of wisdom are welcome.
    P.S. I'm also planning on upgrading RAM to 4GB. Newegg.ca is running a promotion (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227251): $72 CDN minus $20 USD mail-in rebate. It's not related to my question in any way, but some Canadians might find this info relevant.

    Well, I don't have the budget for both and as I've already pointed out, Time Machine does not address my needs. It's a great backup solution, but what I need is a synchronization solution. I need to have the same versions of basic files, such as music, photos, documents, and other miscellaneous stuff on my iMac and my HP Vista laptop. Even if I were to get a MacBook in the future, I would still need the same set-up. That way, if something happens to either my iMac or my MacBook, I would always be able to simply copy-paste files from one machine to another. That's, sort of, my version of a perfect backup solution...unless, there's an option to load up files from a Time Machine backup onto a separate one (e.g. MacBook). In the end, Time Machine only partially addresses my need in keeping 2 machines backed up in a sense that it only backs up one of them. My solution kills 2 birds with one stone. I would have 2 syncronized computers (e.g. iMac + HP Laptop, iMac + MacBook) AND both computers would serve as mutual backup sources, since whatever happens to one of them, I would always be able to copy data from the other.
    The problem arises when I factor in the sheer number of gigabytes required on the portable computer to mirror everything from the iMac, whether be it a Windows laptop or a MacBook. I would always have more data on my iMac than the available space on a smaller hard drive. I now have 432GB of stuff and I can presume that this number will only grow. Hence, at any given time I would be able to synchronize only the most essential files to the laptop. Ideally, I would need a NAS which would collect = synchronize data from both machines. That way, whenever files get modified, changes would automatically be transferred to the NAS and routed further down the chain to the iMac. It would work both ways, obviously. In that scenario, I don't need to worry about any of the computers, since whichever one fails on me, I would always have a copy of the entire collection of files. Now, that I doubt Time Machine can accomplish.

  • Brand new iMac, kernel panics

    I've got a brand new iMac, which frequently crashes, and blames the kernel_task, coreaudiod, FileStatsAgent, PluginProcess or Rome Total War.
    I've included the most recent kernel panic.
    I've run the dianostics, which came back clea, no issues ( Does this mean I'm out of the woods regarding hardware issues? ).
    Any help appreciated.

    Did this happen before 10.9.2? I have been having issues since 10.9.2 on my Early 2011 MBP and was able to definitively narrow it down to apple's graphics driver logic. 
    How did I come to this conclusion?
    - Boot from my carbon copy cloner bootable backup and open an app that requires the discrete GPU (photoshop), gfxCardStatus indicates discrete GPU activated. Result: No problem
    - Boot OS X without any startup items (If you have a problem with the automatic resume launching a discrete GPU requiring app before you get to quit .....hold SHIFT immediately after you start logging in)
    - Open the same app under 10.9.2. Result : Screen flashes, gfxCardStatus indicates discrete active, OS X logs me out.
    - Install standalone 10.9.2 package. Repeat steps. Result: SAME
    - Create new account (in case it has to do with something I am not seeing). Repeat steps. Result: immediate logout (no extensions active etc on the new account)
    So now i have a ton of kernel panics and crash reports from the window server from repeatedly testing different variations of my hypothesis. Conclusion: issue with automatic graphics swicthing.
    So what I'm saying is it is possible that you do not have a hardware problem, but was just unlucky enough to get an iMac /w 10.9.2 on it. If that's the case then I would just recommend holding off for a lil 'till a fix is released.

  • Brand new iMac loosing Airport! Very dissapointed!!!

    Hi,
    I have a brand new iMac 21.5". The first time I used it, it said there was no Airport installed. I phoned apple support and they told me to flash the pram. After that it found the Airport card.
    Now it has lost it again and flashing the pram does nothing. This is very dissappointng - its BRAND NEW I haven't changed anything. Looks like I might have to return it....
    Thanks for any help.

    I'm so sorry. It's rare that one needs to send a Mac in for replacement but it can happen. The posts you see here in the AD forums are but 1% of the total Mac sold so please don't get the wrong impression. It's better to send it back now instead of trouble shooting and getting more upset. The Airport card may not have been installed correctly or it's defective. One way or another you'll have a new iMac soon.
    *"I spent hours setting up the computer when it first arrived and now I'll have to do that all again. "*
    It shouldn't take hours to setup an iMac. Did you check the System Profiler to see if it recognizes the Airport card?
    If not and if you haven't already boxed the iMac up, click the Apple Menu then click: About This Mac then click the "More Info" button. That will launch the System Profiler for you. Under Network on the left, click Airport. See if any information shows up on the right.
