Calibrating Imac 24 with Gretagmacbeth and Hummmmm

I have heard some issues with Monitor hum with the new imac 24 when decreasing monitor brightness. I was wondering if anyone has used a monitor calibrator such as the Gretagmacbeth i1 display calibrator and experienced any monitor hum. I’m wondering if the hum happens only when the brightness control slider is used. Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi John
I'm currently awaiting the arrival of our 24" iMac which will join our G5 Dual 2.0 machine in the studio. I've just finished calibrating and profiling a colleagues 24" iMac with the Gretag i1 Pro and ColorEyes Display software.
I turned the brightness all the way down with the keyboard and then profiled it to 65k Gamma 2.2 and a luminance of 120cd/m2. This give a match to our 23" HD Cinema Display (first version - not alloy). The results were really impressive.
If you'd like to have a copy of the profile and the profile validation data that shows just how good this screen can perform with correct profiling email me and I'll forward them on to you.
Regards

I just purchased an IMac with lion and I tryed to install an old math program that is for winmac running systems. When I try to boot the cd it comes up with a notepad window with a bunch of weird symbols and codes but the program will not start up.

I just purchase my first IMac with lion and I was trying to install a math program I bought 6 years ago. When I went to boot it off the disk while following the program instructions a window popped up with a note pad format with symbols and codes but the program would not download or open. How do I get this program to work? It is a mac compatible program by the way.

Your Mac probably does not know with which application to open the file and is opening a file with a text editor that really needs to be opened by the application itself. Try starting the application first, then use the File > open command to open the file.
As varjak paw comments, there isn't a "winmac" so that's not telling us anything.
Note that it is possible that software purchased 6 years ago may no longer run on your computer. Once we know what it is we can help more.

I can't see my tools such as eraser or lasso on the pixel sizes in editor. I am on a IMAC with Mavericks and of course, 12.1. I can't work without getting to my tools at the bottom.

I can't see or get to my tools such as eraser's size or lasso's pixels or brushes in Editor. I am Victoria <removed> on an IMAC with Mavericks and 12.1 in Photoshop. My email is< removed > and I live in CT so just in case you have any helpful advice. My cell. phone is < removed >.
Personal info removed.

With the image displayed on the screen, the pixels are 1944 by 2592. By going to the units & rulers, the pixels were 300 by 72 screen with rules as inches, type as pt. and print & photo were listed as inches.
I did try the system preferences display but it didn't give me pixels. Unless you mean going under the Apple which didn't give me pixels under Display.
Thanks.

IMac with bootcamp and parallel boots into windows 7 but won't boot intoxc lion.

IMac with bootcamp and parallel boots into windows 7 but won't boot into Mac OS lion?

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion. Actually that was not the problem, because I had the Mcintosh drive set as my boot drive. The answer was that my Lion Os got somehow corrupted and I had to reinstalll Lion. This was all after I discussed the situation with the Apple Support people.

IMac with SSD and Hard drive very slow startup time

I have a new mid 2011 iMac with a 250gb SSD drive and a 2TB drive. All are from Apple as BTO options. When I first used the iMac my typical startup time from the hardware check chime to desktop was typically 12 seconds. Something, somehow has been changed because now it takes over one minute to boot up from the SSD. After the chime I hear the fans running and also the 2tb drive. After about 20 seconds I hear the hard drive spin down and then after another 20 seconds it starts up again. Once it starts up the boot up sequences contiunes and returns to the desktop. After this the iMac perfprms as normal. I have tried running disk utility from the recovery partition. I have also reinstalled Lion as well from the recovery partition and neither of these change the outcome.
When I first got the iMac I used time machine to restore from a previous machine into the 2tb partition and then went into advanced options in System preferences>Users&Groups to point to my home folder on the 2Tb drive rather than the default one on the SSD. That was working fine until I discovered software problems with both Preview and Textedit where they would not start up with this arangement. I then repointed my home folder to the default one on the SSD which cured this issue with these programmes leaving my data remaining on the 2Tb drive. Since doing this I have had the one minute boot up problem.
Can anyone offer any advice as to how I may overcome this problem and get my iMac back to starting up in twelve seconds from the SSD as it did before. Any help would be appreciated on this topic.
Thanks.

Where do you maintain your Home folder - on the SSD or on the HDD?
If you want to do a clean install (from scratch) then do the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Before you go to the extreme of the above would you do this:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Just in case your system slowness is due to something eating up CPU time. Oh, and if your system is brand new check the upper right corner of the menubar for a "dot" inside the Spotlight glass. This means Spotlight is indexing the drive. Until it finishes your system will be quite sluggish.

Refurbished iMac with OSx and the screen jumps/flickers about every 10 - 15 seconds. Suggestions? It often seems fine on start up .

I recently got a refurbed iMac with OSx adn the screen jumps/flicks every 10-15 seconcds. suggestions?

If you purchased it from Apple, you are covered by the warranty - take advantage of it and call them as that appears to be a graphics issue.

Older iMac with slowness and choppy graphics

Hello
I have a 2.1 GHz PowerPC G5 iMac with 1GB DDR2 SD RAM, and 10.4.11 loaded on it (well it's actually my aunt's)
here's some more specs, ATI RADEON X600 XT, VRAM 128 mo
basically applications load really slow, Safari is also slow (though it got a little better after clearing the cache and all the saved data like cookies), video is choppy across all platforms (quicktime, youtube, etc) and when using Skype (which is nearly unusuable due to choppiness) suddenly the whole system goes to sleep, in the middle of my conversations with family in europe!
what can I do to remedy this?
(1) install the latest OS? (will a seven year old iMac be able to handle it?
(2) add some RAM?
(3) update the graphics card? (see followup question to 1)
(4) drop to my knees and say a prayer?
Thanks
JC

Rund Disk Utility to verify/repair your drive(s). Boot from your installer DVD to repair the boot drive.
Try doing smc and pram reset.
Boot in safe mode. Then reboot normally.
See if any of these things improve your performance.

Trying to connect iBook with iMac with Airport and Ethernet

I have just purchased a wireless router, and all works fine connecting to the internet from the iBook (with Airport) and via an ethernet cable on the iMac.
To share files from the iMac on the iBook I have no problems when the two computers are connected with the Ethernet cable either directly or through the router. However, when I try to connect to the iMac from the iBook using Airport (iMac still connected with cable to router), although the iMac icon shows, when I press 'connect' I get the message "no response from the server. Please try again".
What else do I need to do / what settings on which computer do I need to alter? All advice gratefully received! iMac 9.2.2 / iBook G4 OS 10.3.9 Mac OS 9.2.x
iMac / iBook Mac OS 9.2.x

Jaelke, Welcome to the discussion area!
More than likely your wireless router isn't bridging AppleTalk from the wireless network to the wireless network.
From your iBook, try typing in the IP address of the iMac when attempting to connect to the iMac.

IMac with 9iDB and JDeveloper9i

All.
It's time to throw out the nasty old computer and buy a nice new shiny one. I'm looking at a 17" iMac with 512Mb installed.
Am I going to be able to run JDeveloper9i on a Mac of this size? What do I lose out on?
How much more memory would I need to 'find' before I could run 9iDB (slowly) as well? Don't need the clever bits, just enough to keep BC4J happy.
All thoughts appreciated.
Rick

You should be able to run both jdeveloper and db in machine
with 512 MB memory. You should get reasonable response from
db and jdeveloper.

I am unable to receive videos or other graphic intensive downloads. I have an iMac with Lion and the latest updates.

I have an iMac with updated Lion OS. Until today I have never had difficulty receiving videos or other intensive graphic downlods. Now, for some unknown reason, I am unable to receive a BMW ebrochure or a see a video from a newsletter site.

How do you "receiving videos or other intensive graphic downloads": in Mail or does you browser not display it?

Is it possible for two people to use one iMac with iPhone and iPad separate iTunes and iCloud acc?

Apologies if this is a very obvious question. I have one iMac that my husband and I use, he has an iPhone that he syncs with the iMac via iTunes for app such as docs to go. I recently purchased an iPad, I want to also sync with the iMac. Is it possible to use two iTunes and two iCloud acc to one iMac? We would like to pick and choose what we sync as we keep separate docs etc on the iMac, can this be done?

Yes. Just set up your own account in System Preferences > Accounts (User &groups in Mountain Lion). You'll have your own seperate everything including mail.

Time Machine backup/restore on iMac with SSD and HD...

Time Machine backs up the SSD and HD on my iMac into one "sparse bundle" for the computer. I need some direction on how to get to the HD backup in order to restore individual files and folders.
PLEASE do not give an answer like "Just enter Time Machine and click Restore." I have been trying to get this to work for hours - if it was so easy, I would not be asking. (I don't mean to sound rude so please don't be offended.)
Thanks for any help.

Sorry, Bob, I see that I didn't say at the beginning of this discussion, but the SSD has all my applications and OS X system. The purpose for the SSD is to run the system and apps faster, while having all files/documents on the slower and larger HD.
So my home folder (my UserName) in the left panel is on the SSD. I have no problem accessing the SSD backups in Time Machine.
When I choose the MacHD in Time Machine, I cannot select a date from the timeline of backups on the far right because all the backups are grayed out (not available). Choosing the SSD gives no access to the files from the separate HD.
I also have a MacBook Pro. It is backed up to the same Time Capsule using Time Machine and has its own separate "sparse bundle." But the iMac puts both of its separate drives into the same sparse bundle. I asked the Apple Support person I spoke with the other day whether I should have separated them before doing the backup, but he said no - it is backed up correctly.
Does anybody out there know if Apple has any specific support articles about using the two separate drives on one computer, whether for backup and restore or for any other purposes?

Screen print imac with bootcamp and windows 7 64 bit

I have a new 27" Imac i7. I have boot camp installed and windows 7 64 bit. I have auto-cad installed for college. There are several assignments that require a screen print to turn in. I have not been able to figure this out. I have been using the snipping tool, but in certain instances i need a menu drop down included in the screen print. With the snipping tool the menu goes away. I have looked for some ways to do a screen print while in windows, and have been unsuccessful. I have a wireless apple keyboard, the shorter one. The F keys are enabled to be used as the real F keys without using the fn key on the windows side. So when i hit F10 for example it is the real F10 function. Does anyone have any ideas?

I can get those keys to work if i make the keyboard use the shortcut keys that are listed on the top. For example, if i want to use the f10-f12 keys to control the volume without having to hit the fn key. If i set the keyboard up that way that key combo will work. But if i set up the keyboard to use the f keys really be f keys without hitting the fn key, it will not work. Would you know how to get it like that? I have tried just leaving the fn key out of that combo and it will not work.
