Can the 21.5 inch imac run the new final cut
I am going to be selling my g5 and using part of that money to purchase a 21.5 inchimac, my question is can the new imac run final cut and all its components with no problem. Does it really make a difference which version (graphics card) I get with the imac....and would I be better going with a macbook pro....and if I did get the macbook pro would it have to be the biggest one. thanks
Go to Apple's Website, look at the specs for the iMac. Then go to the Final Cut Studio page on their site, and look at the system requirements. If they meet, then yes. If not, then no.

I have a mid 2011 27 inch iMac and a late 2012 mac mini. I am using the 27 inch iMac as the display for the mac mini with a thunderbolt cable. I was trying to use bootcamp on the mini but after I started downloading windows I can't get it to display on the iMac.
Hi there,
The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

Can the 21.5-inch iMac height be reduced to 44.4cm by tilting screen?
Can the 21.5-inch iMac height be reduced to 44.4cm by tilting screen backwards? The spec. height is 45.0cm, my desk opening is 44.5cm...
You might want to go for a Configure to Order version that has a Vesa Mount on the back and then use a short wall or desk mounting arm.

I want to buy a new mac. Would a 21.5 inch Imac run Aperture 3 with 4GB or ram until I can upgrade to 8GB? And would the stock 512mb video card be fine.
davidfromdartmouth wrote:Would a 21.5 inch Imac run Aperture 3 with 4GB or ram until I can upgrade to 8GB?
Specifically, after you buy a Mac test for RAM needs by calculating page outs as described below. The good news is that RAM is cheap enough that every Aperture user who can should upgrade to at least 8 GB RAM.
And would the stock 512mb video card be fine.
All 2011 Macs will "run" Aperture, but lesser CPUs and/or lesser GPUs will provide lesser performance. What "fine" is depends on your workflow and how demanding you are. There are some folks here happy with the power of the box you suggest.
GENERIC UPGRADE ADVICE
Apologies in advance to those for whom this info is redundant.
Some general guidelines for operation of heavy graphics applications (specifically Aperture):
• Only the strongest Macs will provide the strongest operation. Owners of weaker boxes (CPU, GPU, i/o, RAM) or older boxes will experience lesser performance.
• There is a huge difference in hardware needs among workflows. A heavy pro workflow will only work best on a top well-equipped modern box.
• As RAM prices continually fall RAM needs will continually grow. This has been true since the beginning of computing.
OS X has enabled Photoshop, for instance, to take advantage of at least 32 GB RAM for many years even though 32-bit operation limited direct RAM access to ~3 GB RAM.
• All computers/OSs/workflows are different. Each individual user needs to carefully evaluate (meaning see what the early adopters report) workflow and hardware operation BEFORE upgrading any application or OS.
• Hardware upgrades should be planned for always-increasing future OS/application demands, not just for today. After all, a computer purchased today is used for the next 3 years, not last year.
• SSDs rock. All users, all apps will benefit from using a solid state drive as the boot/apps drive. Strongly recommended. RAM-challenged setups will additionally benefit from 10x faster page outs.
• All users should regularly evaluate their workflows by checking the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a work session; then rechecking after working. If the page outs number increased significantly during operation the workflow is RAM-starved and steps should be taken, such as increasing RAM or restarting and running only one app at a time - - or switching from 64-bit operation to 32-bit operation. [Note: this is a manual calculation of any change in page outs. Ignore the cute pie charts, page ins, etc.]

I add my comcast email to the mail on a iMac running Maverick. It downloads all my emails from there. How do i get my email to delete of the the server
Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts, click the '+' button below the list of accounts and insert the settings, username and password as instructed. Some account types can be set up automatically as soon as Mail knows the emails address (because the server settings are built in), in other cases you will have to get them from your ISP.

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane... Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
Thanks so much!!I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.

II recently purchased this 21.5 inch iMac in the month of February. The woman that helped me through the process of purchasing this told me that it comes with the latest Mountain Lion. which it did, but i cant write a review in the app store! Help...
You want to write a review about Mountain Lion? I'm not sure that you can write about the OS at the app store - it's not an app. Or are you talking about the online Apple store? If you want to send feedback to Apple, you could use this:

I'd like to know how can i connect my old iMac tiger with new one iMac lion. I wanna use the old one for external disk to collect files from there to new one.
Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:
iTunes 10: Sync to your iPod

I have a Toshiba external hard drive that i used with MacBook. I now have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5. It does not register that the Toshiba hard drive is plugged in, yet if I plug it into an iMac running the same OS it does work.
I don't know the answer to your problem, but until you resolve it do not upgrade OS X.
I would suggest you try a reinstall:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing 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.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- 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. -
I recently signed up for iTunes Match. It works well on my iPad2 but not my iPhone 4S. A while ago my music did show up on my phone but much of it was grayed out. Now I don't see anything on my iPhone. I've tried everything I can think of. I'm running the latest operating system and software

Good day!
I have this problem: when i press "Alt" my imac runs the command "duplicate" or "copy". It interferes with work, how to fix it?
Thank you.Hi, thank you!
For example when I work in Nuke, and press "option" (for navigation), after I will release the "option", selected node will be duplicated.
The same issue, but with copying happens when I'm working in blender and hold the "option" to navigate - I see the message "copied selected objects to buffer".
Maybe it's some additions to the finder, which I could set a long time ago? In any case, how to fix it?
Thanks in advance! -

The iMac is very long (1 Minute) waiting during the programmoperation. I have run the diagnosesoftware and reinstalled lion on my system. It is always the same result. Sometimes the System runs very prober and than he fails very often.
The iMac is very long (1 Minute) waiting during the programmoperation.
You are referrring to how long it takes to startup your Mac?
If so, open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
And remove any apps in HD > Library > Startupitems
Make sure there's at least 15% free space on the startup disk.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac then click More Info then select the Storage tab from the menu.
If you have anti virus software installed, disable or uninstall the software to see if that makes a difference.
