  • Dead pixels on late 2012 27-inch iMac

    i've been using the default configured starry Galaxy desktop wallpaper since i bought my iMac 27-inch late 2012 and today i noticed a small light spot near one of the small stars on the left side of my screen, it is mostly noticeable standing up and looking down at it when windows are open on that side, i.e. safari, finder windows, and on lighter solid-color backgrounds. it looks like dead pixels as opposed to dirt to me, but i dunno.

    If you have had this new iMac for longer than 14 days, you can no longer return it for a replacement.
    You might be able to get a new, replacement LCD panel installed under AppleCare, if this bothers you or you are just going to have to live with it.
    There is a certain amount of dead pixels that determines if the LCD is good or defective.
    Every LCD panel is prone to dead pixels. The pixel can be stuck "on" (white) or stuck "off" (black).
    If this is the only pixel that you found that is dead, then it maybe considered OK and not defective.
    If you had the LCD replaced, there is no guarantee you wouldn't get a replacement LCD with another or a few stuck pixels.
    In the near future or before your free year of AppleCare expires, I would strongly consider budgeting, purchasing and registering with Apple for the 3-year extended AppleCare warranty plan. You will need it.

  • Can I use my Mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro to drive two displays?

    I have a Mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro (NOT Retina - I wanted the optical drive...) connected to a 27" Thunderbolt Display. If I get a MiniDisplay Port <-> MiniDisplay Port Cable (and connect it between the Thunderbolt Port on the Thunderbolt Display, and the MiniDisplay Port on the iMac), will the MacBook Pro also be able to drive my 27" Mid 2010 iMac as an external Monitor?
    If not, will the iMac be able to drive the Thunderbolt display?
    I'm trying to get to documents side by side on the 27" monitor so I can move data between them - Word/Word, Word/Excel, etc.,
    It would be nice to know the answer before I go to the store and drop the $ on the cable...
    Many thanks,
    Chris

    After lots of reading, it seems it is possible (thanks for the link, OGELTHORPE), but I haven't been able to figure out the right cable configuration.
    Confirmed my MacBook Pro (mid 2012) supports two Thunderbolt Displays
    Confirmed my iMac (mid 2010) supports Target Display Mode
    Confirmed this is possible based on the below...
    6. Can I use an Apple Thunderbolt Display and an iMac in Target Display Mode to act as two additional displays for my Thunderbolt-equipped Mac?
    Yes. If your Thunderbolt-equipped Mac supports two Thunderbolt displays this is possible. Your Thunderbolt-equipped Mac will need to be connected to your Apple Thunderbolt display and the iMac will need to be connected to the Thunderbolt port of the Apple Thunderbolt display. Not all iMacs support Target Display Mode. See Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for more information. Once connected, place the iMac into Target Display Mode to enable it as the second external display.
    Notes:
    Make sure the Thunderbolt Display is connected to your Thunderbolt-equipped Mac and is being recognized and used by the Thunderbolt-equipped Mac before connecting the iMac to the Thunderbolt display.
    If the iMac is placed in the Thunderbolt chain before the Apple Thunderbolt Display, the Thunderbolt display will work as an external display for the iMac and it will stay active as an external display for the iMac, but it will not function with the main Thunderbolt-equipped Mac using the iMac's display.
    To use an iMac in Target Display Mode when connected to an Apple Thunderbolt Display, the iMac must be Thunderbolt-enabled, and a Thunderbolt cable must be used (not a mini-DP cable).
    The bulletpoint that worries me is the last one. I have tried with both a mini display port cable AND a thunderbolt cable, but the last bulletpoint seems to suggest that this is not possible if the iMac is NOT a Thunderbolt enabled iMac (which mine isn't). It does however say elsewhere that my iMac acting in TDM mode acts as a Thunderbolt Display, so it's all a bit confusing!!! It seems that my MacBook Pro can't drive both displays; so now I'm trying to figure out how to get the iMac to treat my Thunderbolt display as a second monitor.
    Fingers crossed...

  • Best LED TV  to be used as monitor for Mac Mini (Late 2012 model)

    Hi All,
    I am having a mac mini (late 2012 model). Now, I am planning to buy a HD LED Tv from my home. So I would like to know which one will be best suited to be used as a monitor for mac mini so that I can buy a TV which will be used as both TV and Monitor
    --jR

    You'll want something that's 1080p. Best to have one with HDMI input, too. Other than that, let price and warranty be your guide.

  • Do the Mac minis support using AirPlay and all of its functions?   I thought I saw a comment yesterday that suggested the Mac mini (particularly the late 2012 models) does not support AirPlay.  Thank you.

  • Can Internet Explorer (IE) be downloaded to and used on the late 2008 model of iMac running OS X 1.9.5?

    Can Internet Explorer (IE) be downloaded to and used on the late 2008 model of iMac running OS X 1.9.5? If yes, where can it be downloaded from?

    Only if you run Windows. IE does not work on a Mac without Windows.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing.

    I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing. I have absolutely no clue what to do here. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    - Currently if I boot it up there is a flashing folder icon with a question mark in it. I am assuming this means there is no OS because I wiped the SSD and tried to reinstall Mountain Lion
    - When I hold Command+R, it prompts me to Choose Network... the problem with this is the wifi constantly is disconnecting. The Retina 2012 does not have an ethernet port so i have considered buying the attachment then returning when done.
    Once again Thank you in advance.
    Best.

    There is nothing to do if you don't have a reliable Internet connection unless you have a copy of the Mountain Lion installer application from when you first installed it.
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?

    Hi All,
    Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?
    Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva

    Hi All,
    Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?
    Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva
    As Per BOL
    We strongly recommend that the witness reside on a separate computer from the partners. Database mirroring partners are supported only by SQL Server 2005 Standard and later versions and by SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and later versions.
    Witnesses, in contrast, are also supported by SQL Server 2005 Workgroup and later versions and by SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and later versions. Except during an upgrade from an earlier version of SQL Server, the server instances in a
    mirroring session must all be running the same version of SQL Server. For example, a SQL Server 2005 witness is supported when you are upgrading from a SQL Server 2005 mirroring configuration but cannot be added to an existing or new SQL Server 2008 or later
    mirroring configuration.
    A witness can run on any reliable computer system that supports any of these editions of SQL Server. However, we recommend that every server instance that is used as a witness correspond to the minimum configuration that is required for the SQL Server Standard
    version that you are running. For more information about these requirements

  • Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the license ?

    Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection license ?
    I want to protect my Azure RemoteApp against the malware.
    System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection installed Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host".
    Now, I try to build Azure RemoteApp template by using the  Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" .
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata

    Hi Yoshihiro,
    Unless and until Microsoft modifies the license terms for System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection and/or modifies the Online Services Terms (OST) and/or other document explicitly saying that use is included with the Azure RemoteApp (ARA) monthly
    fee I recommend you assume as that it is
    not included and license it separately for ARA if that is even possible, which is a separate question.
    For licensing it is best to be cautious and make decisions based on the official documents that are available that govern use of the software and services involved.  At this moment I'm not able to find a Microsoft document that grants use of System
    Center 2012 Endpoint Protection with Azure RemoteApp.
    When I first used the gallery template and noticed that Endpoint Protection was installed within it I had the same question as you.  I will update this thread if/when I obtain more information.

  • Will windows 8 work on a late 2009 27 inch iMac

    I have a late 2009 27 inch iMac,  3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM
    I recently upgraded to Yosemite, 10.10.2
    I have previously run Windows XP in Bootcamp
    I need to upgrade my Windows because my banking software upgrade no longer works with XP
    The questions:
    Am I limited to which Windows I can get, 7.8. 8.1?  Will any of these work?
    A few weeks ago I used a link I came across while browsing the Apple support page on this topic, it analyzed my machine and recommended that I get Windows 7, 32 bit
    But I see that the new Bootcamp 5.1 will only run 64 Bit
    So which Windows should I buy,?   7,8,8.1?   and 32 or 64 Bit?
    And what Windows drivers might I have on my machine with Yosemite or be able to upgrade to?
    Windows is not cheap, so I do not want to buy something that will not work

    Windows 8 will not work on your iMac. Please refer to the Boot Camp system requirements, System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support, to see which Windows will work with Boot Camp and your computer. With respect to drivers, Boot Camp Assistant will provide a link to download the correct drivers.
    Alternatively, instead of using Boot Camp, you can use a virtual machine such as Parallels or Fusion to install any version of Windows on your computer. Virtual hardware and drivers are used if using a virtual machine.

  • I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.Anyone know how to cure this problem please??

    I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.
    I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.
    Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.
    The only way it will restart is to pull the mains lead out of the imac, put it back and try until it will start.
    This only happened after reinstalling.  Only Apple OS was on the imac and so it must be an issue with the software I believe.....
    Anyone know how to cure this problem please?
    Thanks
    paul

    This isn't a fix, more a workaround I used when I had wake from sleep problems that lasted from some point in 10.6.x, through 10.7 and into 10.8 (got fixed for me in 10.8.2). It seems to be connected with Bluetooth failing to wake up properly:
    System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.

  • How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    Do you own a copy of Aperture, perhaps bought for another Mac?
    If you have not bought Aperture, you need to buy it from the AppStore.
    But if you own Aperture and have it bought from the AppStore on another Mac, sign into theAppStore on your new iMac with the same AppleID you used to buy Aperure on your other Mac.  Then look at the "Purchased" tab of he AppStore. It show Aperture, with the "Install" button to the right. Simply press the "Install" button and download it to your new iMac.  Or if you have bought Aperture on a CD/DVD, run the installer from the CD/DVD on your new mac and immediately run software update to upgrade the Aperture 3. version to version that will run with Mavericks.
