Can you run cable TV thru an iMac?

I have a PC that has Windows Media Center.  Works GREAT.  Cable comes right up, and recording is a snap.
So.
If I get a new iMac, or say a MacBook Pro----
can I run cable thru it and use it as a TV?  Like the PC?
Please say yes.

Yes.
Well I should say you can do it but you need a converter such as ElGato's EyeTV.
Best of luck.

  • Can you run Photoshop CS4 on an iMac?

        One TechNote I was just pointed to says you need a PowerPC G5 with multicore Intel Processor.
    HUH?! I've always owned iMacs and run a graphic design business with them. I have a brand new 24" iMac with memory upgrades and a top graphics card, but I am having major issues with saving files. (files truncated when trying to reopen).
    Any advice?
    Apple thinks it should work, but Adobe?

    Those are good ideas, but I have not been saving over a network. I save everything directly to my harddrive.
    Also, I did do numerous troubleshooting with an apple technician, trying to find out if there was an error in the hard disk. But since then the computer the problem first showed up on was stolen and I have replaced it with another brand new iMac that is having the same problems!!  I recreated this one from the Time Machine backup of the other one, so perhaps I just carried over the problem. I think the next step is to reinstall the software.
    Thanks for trying. Any other ideas? I'll let you know if reinstalling helps.

  • Can you run iphone apps on your iMac?

    Is there anyway to run apps from my iPhone, on my iMac? Especially games and such, (Clash of Clans).

    No, there isn't as they are two different operating systems. You'd have to purchase the Mac OS equivalent of such an app (if there is one).

  • Can one run Microsoft publisher on a imac without using a virtual software?

    Can one run Microsoft publisher on a imac without using a virtual software?

    You would have to use Bootcamp to install a full copy of Windows to run Publisher, or virtual software.  There's no other way.  Microssoft's native code is not compatible with Apple's OSX code.
    Hope this helps

  • Can you run Adobe Photoshop CS version 8 on Yosemite?

    Can you run Adobe Photoshop CS version 8 on Yosemite?

    Well if you want permanent license Adobe software, here is the price list for the CS6 catalog .  Creative Suite 6
    Just know that with the exception of Adobe Camera Raw updates, CS6 will have maintenance updates, but not the features of CC 2014.
    The rental model called Creative Cloud means you will have the software installed on your Mac and you can work with your files as before, it's just that activation depends on a $50 monthly fee. Upgrades are piped in at no further cost, and you have the freedom to switch platforms and interface languages. You activate on up to two computers, PC, Mac or mixed. 20 GB online storage for collaboration, and you can also store and sync your settings and custom presets. Typekit if you'd like to try new and difference fonts.
    Look at it this way, it's not a big deal if you are in business. You rent many things and this is probably not your largest monthly expense.

  • Can you run Embedded PL/SQL Gateway and Oracle HTTP Server at the same time

    Hi,
    I know this will sound a bit odd but their is a business case for asking this. Can you run APEX via the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway and the Oracle HTTP Server at the same time? Would their be any security/stability/etc issues I'd need to worry about? I know that I'll need to run them on different ports.
    Thank you,

    I think I've done this in the past. Theres no technical reason why you can't do this as far as I know.
    I can't remember if I used different ports or same port.

  • Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?

    Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?   In particular a .8BF plugin like PTFilters.8BF  or Super Cubic.

    If you also have a Photoshop version of the Photoshop application, the answer is of course YES.
    Otherwise, the answer is no,
    If you have the CC subscription, then of course you can install a Photoshop Windows version and run your plug-in.  That'll be separate from your Photoshop Mac install..

  • What kinds of cpu can you put in a 2007 modal imac to bring it to its maxwhat

    What kinds of cpu can you put in a 2007 modal imac to bring it to its max
    Thanks

    While it CAN be done I don't know if you'll see enough bang for your buck to make it worthwhile. IMO you'll get a better return by installing an SSD and maxing out the ram. That said I don't have any idea which cpu you could swap for.

    Can you run labview on Windows Tablet PC Edition?...or does LabVIEW executable and Run-time engine operate with this OS?

    LabVIEW 7.x will run without any problems on a Windows Tablet PC with SP1. There have been documented issues with Windows XP SP2 and LabVIEW subsequently not exiting properly--LabVIEW's window closes but somehow it is still present in the task manager.
    Hope this helps.
