Can my iMac do lightscribe?

Can the optical drive in my iMac create Lightscribe discs or do indeed to buy a dedicated drive like the one Lacie makes for $99?

Lightscribe-cpable optical drives were never used by Apple.
In no Mac.
There are external drives capable of Lightscribe avaiable.

Can my iMac burn Lightscribe labels

Can my iMac burn Lightscribe labels on the lightscribe dvds ????

With appropriate software, yes, presuming of course you have a Lightscribe drive. The vendor of your drive should have provided software, but if not,. Lightscribe has it here:

though I don't know if it's compatible with Lion.

HT204053 can a imac support mutilple iclouds i.e. can ecah family member have ther own cloud

Can an IMAC support multiple iclouds, i.e. can each family member have their own cloud

You can do this, but each family member will need a separate email address in order to set up an iCloud account; and each will need their own user account on the Mac in order to keep the iCloud accounts separate.

Can an iMac serve as a wireless access point server?

I have a current iMac with standard built in wireless capability but I'm on the net with wires (RJ45 twisted pair ethernet CAT5 cables). Can my iMac serve as a wireless access point for a new device in the house (Nintendo Wii)? Is there a setting I can turn on, or software that can be downloaded to have the iMac act as a server instead of just a client on a wireless network? I know that it's best to have dedicated hardware do this, but I'm looking for a software solution to use while I decide what to buy.
Currently I have a DSL connection and a star style home network. The DSL modem has an ethernet cable to a hub, and our 2 macs connect with wires to the hub. (I have an older DSL modem that has no wireless capability, I know that upgrading the DSL connection involves a new modem that includes wireless, but the phone company makes no guarantees about supporting Macs, so I have to do some research first.)

If your iMac connects to internet from ethernet cable, you can use airport to share the connection wirelessly by creating a network from airport, then go to system preference > sharing > internet and enable internet sharing. But if you already have a wireless router, Mac should be compatible, there is nothing inherently different between iMac's airport and PC's wireless card.
For Wii, I have no experience myself but there are plenty of posts on this forum, like this one: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4528652&#4528652

Can an iMac 10.6.7 snow leopard with wired MOUSE be upgraded to LION OX?

Hi can you help, Can my iMac OS X 10.6.7 that uses a wired mouse be upgraded to Lion OX if so how could I zoom the screen with my fingers as I dont have a magic mouse or magic pad? Also can my iMac work okay if I got rid of the mouse for the pad. I bought the iMac just 2 mnths before the new ones came out pity but love it anyway as I have had 3 windows PCs and 2 laptops but nne of them are as good as the Apple iMac.

As long as your iMac meets the system requirements, you can buy Lion - having a wired mouse has nothing to do with the operating system; it just will not allow you to use any gestures. But I can't see why you just couldn't use it as you always have. And, as long as your iMac supports bluetooth, I'm sure you can buy a trackpad if you like - then you'd be able to use gestures.

How much hard drive RPM can this iMac handle?

Hello!
In my office there's an *iMac Indigo G3 @ 400Mhz* (serial number RN03820ZJV8) and I need to replace its hard drive with a new one with more capacity.
Am being offered hard drives with different RPMs (5,400, 7,600, etc.) but I need to know how much can this IMac model handle, I don't want to over-heat it.
However, I couldn't find that specific data on apple's web site...
So as an alternative way of knowing this I thought that it would be a good idea to know the RPM of the current hard drive as it has worked well for several years:
"*Fujitsu MPG3204AH E:*", capacity of 19.09GB (serial number: VL00T1A09W09).
But I haven't been able to find that info either!
Anyone out there who can answer:
1.- What's the maximum amount of RPM this specific iMac model can handle without overheating?
And/or:
2.- What's the RPM for that specific hard drive?
Best!
Danny

Several years ago, there were concerns about the faster 7,200 RPM drives causing heat issues in the convection-cooled, slot-loading iMacs. In actuality, the hard drives manufactured today run more smoothly, cooler, and quieter than the first generation of 7,200 RPM drives. You won't have any problems installing a 7,200 RPM drive. The onboard IDE controller can only recognize a maximum formatted drive capacity of 128 GBs, so a 120 GB drive is ideal, but hard to find now. A 160 GB drive is usually the smallest drive stocked by many retailers today, but it would only be recognized as 128 GBs after formatting. As for the Fujitsu MPG3204AH-E drive, the "AH" in the model number indicates a 7,200 RPM drive, whereas earlier drives with "AT" in the model number were 5,400 RPM drives.

HT4621 can the imac 27" mid 2011 take this ram "Corsair 8GB DDR31600MHz" ? will the imac under clock it to the 1333mhz ?

can the imac 27" mid 2011 take this ram "Corsair 8GB DDR31600MHz" ? will the imac under clock it to the 1333mhz ?

As the others have said, this is a really chancey thing to do...there have been several users on here during the past few weeks with questions about using out-of-spec ram...most had trouble with it. Macs will sometimes accept higher spec memory, sometimes they will not. Corsair has been getting some very good comments lately but that is from those using in-spec memory.
Best solution is the correct memory. And as noonday recommended, Crucial and OWC are very good and stock the correct ram.

Can the iMac G5 supports TWO USB 7-port Hubs??

Hi all, call me greedy but belive it or not, I am running out of USB ports!!
I have a Belkin 7-port USB 2.0 Powered Hub (with 2 ports pointing upbright) which serves me very well, but I am running out of ports, now that I am considering getting the new iPod nano.
Anyway, there are 3 ports behind the screen, now I have my Mighty Mouse, the Hub's USB cable and a HK Soundsticks attached.
I am thinking of getting another similar 7-port Hub, they are actually stackable, but of course I won't use all 7 ports fully on the 2nd new one.
Can the iMac supports and substain 2 USB hubs?? I have actually never seen anyone with more than 1 hub??
Thanks and cheers

I have two USB hubs attached to my iMac G5 - they are both self-powered (their own power supply); one is a USB 2 with 6 ports and a multi card reader built in and the other my old USB 1 with 4 ports. They are plugged into the rear of my iMac along with the printer. Everything else, including keyboard and mouse, are plugged into the hubs and I am using a total of 8 ports - and everything works. I don't know if that would change if they weren't self powered.
Hope this helps.

Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?

I have a core duo 2GHz iMac intel. Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?

Do you mean will your iMac work with a router that supports dual band? If this is correct, the answer is yes. If that isn't what you intended please look at the system specification for your machine. You can find that by clicking Support - Tech Specs

Can my iMac be set to type with French characters?

Hello all! Can my iMac be set to type with French characters? If so, what is the path? And, is there a keyboard overlay to see where the French language characters are located on the keyboard? Thanks!

Hey Steve,
Thanks again for the thoughts... Unfortunately, the only characters that I can use keyboard shortcuts for French are the é, ç and the á (it's better than nothing).
Outside of that, I have to switch keyboard layouts. I know of the accent grave ( `e ) that's nextdoor to the number one key... But it don't work... my translator thinks it's a typo... because it takes up a whole characters worth of space instead of sharing the space with the actual letter (vowel), like the other accents.
So I need keyboard shortcuts for:
ê Ê Ë ë è È
Ô ô Ö ö
à À Û û
I use these letters just enough to make switching keyboards back and forth a little irksome. Since the two keyboards have pretty distinctively different layouts and then we have the position of the A and M keys and.. well... see where this could lead??? LOL
Thanks...
I appreciate your thoughts, as always...

Can an iMac G4 be upgraded to an Intel processor?

I was wondering can an iMac G4 be upgraded to an Intel processor? This stems from the whole PPC no longer being supported by Adobe Flash etc.

No.
Kappy: That's replacing the computer, not upgrading it.

Can this iMac be saved?

I have a 12 year old Imac - Rev B. - System 9.2... 4 Gigs Hard Drive... 168 RAM...This computer has worked very well... never a problem until now.
I am a teacher. I was using this computer in my classroom. It was able to surf the web... most of web pages displayed correctly. I just wanted an alternative to the crappy Dells the school district sticks in every other teachers' classrooms.
The problem... today it won't start up... no chime.. no lights... nothing... dead... it's plugged in, connected correctly... I press the power button... nothing...
Is there anything I can try before sending it to the big network in the sky? The Rev B iMacs are a bear to take apart, could a dead battery cause this? Can this Imac be saved? Any help would be great appreciated.

Here is a picture of the battery that you need.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item-specials/Newer%20Technology/BAA36VPRAM/
All the tray loading iMac g3's, models a-d, are constructed the same.
While this article deals with adding memory, you should see the pram battery on the logic board when you get to step 17.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43012
You should skip steps 17 to 20. Look for the pram battery instead.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43013
Here is a good disassembly page for the tray loader:

I second the motion for an iMac g3 600 or 700. These machines do not run video like youTube that well, if at all.

Can the iMac be used as a high def tv with a cable service

Can an iMac be used as a HD tv? I was curious as to if I could use it for both home entertainment and personal and professional computer needs.

Do a bit of research and asking around on AVS fourms. If you use the Elgato products (which are great!) you can use your iMac as an HDTV but it is limited compared to a dedicated settop device. For instance you will not have on demand and the such.
Now if you want to I think you can input the HDMI out from a setup box to the minidisplay port. You will have to find another solution for sound. Those with more experience can chime in.
