Closed Circuit TV into my iMac G5 (UK)

I would like to put connect a video signal from a CCTV to my G5 iMac in UK. I guess it needs some hardware to connect to the Firewire or USB port. I can find some products but they all seem to do more than I want ie are TVs as well is there any low cost alternative? I can get cheap software to do the monitoring etc. If I have to have an all singing dancing variety what would be best bearing in mind i'm in the UK?

Sorry this is in wrong forum I'll start again :oops:

Since upgrading to OSX 10.6.8, I am unable to use scp on a remote machine to copy files into my iMac.

Any suggestions?
However, I can use scp to copy files out from my iMac (10.6.8) .
I can ssh into the iMac OK.
I created a .profile in my iMac home directory with the single line "export TERM=xterm-color".
This makes a difference to how scp behaves when attempting to copy into the iMac, but it still fails.
Thanks in advance for any help. Peter R

TS4002 All the email I had imported into my iMac (over 75) and were listed under ON MY MAC have disappeared. how can I get them back?

All the email (over 75) I had imported into my iMac from my PC and which were stored under ON MY MAC in mail have disappeared. They were there for a year. The number 75 appears behind the word "import" but there is nothing there. How can I find them?

I found them!!!! I closed out Mail and started it up again and there they were....wierd!!!!

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing, and I can't figure out why, nor how to stop this behavior. When I click in the upper right corner of my screen where it says "Finder", it shows the Finder as the only application running, and yet SOMETHING must be causing the CD to play. If it is an Extension that is being loaded, is it possible to terminate the Extensions one by one without restarting the computer to see which one is playing the CD?
Is the OS9.1 operating system supposed to automatically play audio CD's when they are inserted into the iMac? Or could it be an Extension that is doing it?And if so, why is no means provided to actually CONTROL the playing of the CD (such as a control panel with PLAY, STOP, SKIP, etc. buttons)?
On a PC, I can press Control/Alt/Delete to bring up the "Task List" that will show me ALL applications and processes currently running, and then terminate apps and processes one by one without having to restart the computer to see which one is playing the CD. Is there an equivalent way to display this information on an iMac that will show me which application or process or extension might be causing the audio CD to play, and allow me to terminate them one by one without restarting the computer until I can see which one is the "problem"?
Jerry

Hi, Jerry -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Finder uses QuickTime in the background to do that, hence no specific app is shown in the Application menu (the far right item in the main menu bar) in addition to Finder.
To unset automatic playing of CDs (and DVDs) -
Open the QuickTime Settings control panel (Apple menu > Control Panels > QuickTime Settings).
In that control panel, select AutoPlay from the pulldown menu in the control panel. Uncheck both the items shown in the new window. Close the control panel.
No restart should be needed in order to make the change effective.
Doing this will also guard against the (now ancient) AutoPlay virus, which could still be lurking somewhere on the net.

"Itunes can not connect to this Ipod. An unknown error occurred." I get this message when I plug my Ipod touch into my Imac. I have restored the Ipod and have the latest Itunes. I have tried different cables and a macbook.

I have an Ipod touch 8GB, an Imac and an apple laptop. I have had this Ipod for years and it has been synced at different times to my Imac and laptop. Recently the battery ran way down on my Ipod. I plugged it into my Imac. After it charge I had to restore it. After I restored it Itunes couldn't connect to it because, "An unknown error occurred". I tried to connect it to Itunes on my laptop and got the same error message. I have tried different USB cables. Since Itunes won't connect, I can't do another restore. I don't know what do try from here.
Some additional info that might be related to this. Just before this Ipod problem came up I crashed my hard disk on the Imac. I had to erase it and reload all my stuff (I was able to copy the contents to a hard drive connected to my laptop using the firewire - I couldn't use time machine because of the crashed HD.) My Imac has been restored to the latest Itunes - I am running OSX 10.6.8.

Thanks for the help Ricky.
I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

Can i plug an usb drive into a iMac and access it with a Macbook pro?

I have an iMac that is less than 3 months old and my wife now has a two week old Macbook Pro.
IMac:
21.5" screen
3.1 quad core i7
16 GB Ram
1 TB Fusion drive
Macbook Pro:
13" screen
3.0 dual core i7
8 GB ram
512 GB Flash storage
Both have Mountain Lion.
Both are running iOS 6.1.2
I would like to attach an external USB hard drive to the iMac and allow the Macbook Pro to be able to have full access to just the external USB hard drive. Either it can't be done or I am just not getting the Sharing settings set correctly. I played around with sharing last night on both machines. When I would plug in a FAT 32 thumb drive into either machine and find it, I would add it to he shared folder but it would only allow me and "Everyone" to have access. I could not change "Everyone" to "No Access" because "Everyone" was greyed out or add my wife. I can access the Macbook Pro as Mark with the iMac but I can only access the iMac from the Macbook Pro as a "Guest".
I am using a Netgear WNR3500L router. I currently have the USB hard drive connected to the router via the Readyshare USB port but it is formatted as NTFS for Windows shared files. This router does not recognize HFS+ formatted hard drives in the USB port. When I move it to the iMac, I will back it up and then reformat it as HFS+. Since the router is about a year old and working fine, I would buy an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule if that is my only choice.
I don't normally turn off the iMac.
I would not want to allow access to any other device.
Since I am very new at Mac's, I would appreciate any help that any of you can offer me.

Topher Kessler,
Thanks for commenting to me.
My thumb drive is formatted as Fat 32 so your first paragraph explains what I am seeing.
You are correct that my existing router does not support HFS+. It is visible from my MAC and some file are read only.
The drive that I will be wanting to attach to the iMac would be formatted as HFS+ so it would not be accessible from my router.
So, if I setup sharing (If it is possible) and thern plugged in a USB 3.0 hard drive into my iMac, would it be accessible to my Macbook Pro? If it would not be, it looks like an Airport Extreme or a Time Capsule are my only options?
I see that a Netgear 4500 is Time Machine compatible. Any idea what that means? When I read pages 80 through 82, it appears to me that you format your drive to HFS+ and then eventually plug it into the router usb.

Installed airport card into my imac G4 flat panel and now it work

I purchased an airport card from Mac-pro as Apple does not sell them anymore. I installed it into my IMAC G4 flat panel as per the instructions. Now, when I turn on the computer the power light comes on, and the screen is black and it really isn't making any noise, as though it is not starting up. It was working just fine before I installed this card!!!! can anyone help??!?!?!?!?

The following Apple article provides the details of
installing an AirPort card in the Flat Panel iMac
G4s. You may want to double-check it to see if you
might have missed something in the the installation
process.
I installed the card properly, as per the instructions you forwarded to me. I did have some trouble getting the card to completly fit into place, one side seemed to go in easier than the other, but it did go in. Is there anyway to get this machine up and running again?

Hi!
I have a WD my book external hard drive plugged into my imac and I want to share it over my network with my apple tv. I went into system preferences > sharing, checked "file sharing" and added my external hard drive to the shared folder. So now it is listed in "shared folders" but under "users" everything is grayed out (it says "read and write" for "everyone" - but "read and write" is grayed out, and it doesn't let me add or subtract users). Now I can access all of the folders I shared from my imac except for the externalhard drive. What's going on?

Hi RRFS!,thanks for help.I forgot to tell that hard drive has 2 partitions 1:format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that works properly,2:format:MS-DOS (FAT32) and when i "get info" for both :first has shering & permitions:You can read and write - with name and privilege, second has shaing & prermissions:You can read and write- without name and privilege

I made a Blurb book through Lightroom 5, on another computer, backed it up on an external hard drive and tried to import it into my imac. I got the picture files, but could not get the book I had worked on. How do I find my book?

I made a 'Blurb' book using Lightroom on a computer that was not mine. I backed up the book on an external hard drive and then tried to import the book into my imac. I wasn't able to retrieve my book. The photos I used for the book project are there, but the 45 page book I made is not there.
What do I need to do?

You would need to go to the computer containing the book.
Select the saved book in the Collection panel.
Go to Grid View [ G ] and select all the images [Cmd/Ctrl][A]
File>Export as Catalog and store on media you can use to transfer
Bring this catalog onto your computer
File>Import from another catalog and bring the transitory catalog into your master catalog.
It should bring the images, your collections (including your book) and other settings into your own catalog.

Video into my IMac G5

I have an IMac G5/10.4x. I am using IMovie HD. The equipment is being used in a church to record worship services for output to DVD and the web. We are going to be using a P/T/Z camera that has the ability to output the video signal through both composite (RCA) and S-Video (4 pin). What is the best way to get this video signal into my IMac G5? PLease keep in mind that I need to ultimatly get the footage into IMove to prepare for the web and DVD outputs.

It makes me sad to correct you, Sue, but:
Hi Mark,
if your camera "just" offers analog output (RCA/s-video) you urgently need a analogue-digital converter, which is able to offer a "dv signal" on a firewire connection...
the Apple store has something to offer, as an example from Canopus
====
apologize, Sue, but no dv-out mentioned in O.P. :-/

App update on 4S frozen in "download now" mode. The screen will not respond to touch, anywhere. Rest of iPhone working AOK. I plugged into my iMac and opened ITunes

While playing Book Worm, a message appeared that there are updates for the iPhone (at no cost!). There was no indication on the App icon of an update. I proceeded, entered my password and the "Download Now, iBooks will now begin to download" appeared with the OK box. Tapping same has done nothing (this started yesterday). Now the App icon indicates 1 update. I plugged the iPhone into my iMac, opening both the App store and ITunes -- nothing. So my App application is frozen and I'm out of ideas. I need help, please.

Thanks, but frozen screen negates this. The download was not at my request, but at an iPhone update & giving me the opportunity to download 4 apps at no cost.
Per a suggestion elsewhere here, I powered off, i.e., holding power & home buttons simultaneously, got the Apple logo, entered the App store and the freeze was gone, and the offered downloads nowhere to be found on my phone. Well, at least App store is available again.

I have a large classical music collection. As I uploaded into the IMAC needless duplication occurred in the genre classifications. Some compositions are separated by movement and placed in "LP-Classical" genre, but in duplicated genres. How combine thos

Question: I have a large classical music collection which I have uploaded into my IMAC computer. In the process many of the compositions were placed in needlessly duplicated genre categories ( a sonata turns in three SEPARATE "LP-Classical" categories, all 3 movements separated into different "LP-Classical" categories, one atop the other. How does one eliminate the foolish duplication and recombine the three movements into one composition? I am Desperate.
Normal editing techniques do not work for this problem! Thank you/

I tried that to be honest. The best thing is, the albums I want to delete aren't even on my iMac!!!!! So not even there to deselect?? Not a clue?

IMac will not load internnet sites despite it having all green lights on the Network Diagnostics screen. In other words there is a valid internet signal going into the iMac, but the machine will not load sites. Help? iOS 10.9.5

iMac will not load internet sites, despite having all green lights (strong WiFi signal etc) on the Network Diagnostics screen. in other words there is a strong
internet wifi signal going into the iMac but the machine does not connect to the internet. I OS 10.9.5. Other devices work fine with the same internet signal.

iOS 10.9.5 does not exist.
iOS refers to the operating system on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch.
10.9.5 was never a version of a Classic operating system.
10.9.5 was a version of Mac OS X, and is 13 years newer than Classic.
Here are reasons for WiFi signal to fail even when they appear to be strong:
Most common Wifi issues
Your Mac may be too close to your WiFi router, in which case, it might be better to connect to it via an ethernet cable if it can't be moved.

Can I plug a Roland Mini Cube into my Imac G5?

I usually play everything by hookin' my LP to a M-Audio AUDIO BUDDY (pre-amp) then outta that into my Imac G5 - I use Amplitube and Guitar Rig software within LOGIC EXPRESS... I have a couple of old amps that suck - was thinking of purchasing a Roland Mini Cube this weekend - can I plug the output (headphone out) into the pre-amp and then into my G5? Wanna use Logic Express as my base - I can mic it I know but can I go direct? Will it burn out my sound chip in my Imac?

Why don't you plug your guitar directly into the Audio Buddy and then use Amplitube and Guitar Rig to obtain the sound you want?
cheers
