As I said, I don't use Time Machine, so it'd be best to wait for an "expert" answer, but, with my very limited knowledge, I'd say: probably not - so, for now, I'd suggest you read up on Time Machine:

And, you might be attracting more knowledgeable answers if you were to post this question in the Time Machine Forum (part of the Snow Leopard forums).

Are Apple going to release a new iMac in 2012?

I've seen posts and heard about the fact Apple may be releasing a new iMac (Ivy Bridge/Anti-reflective display etc) this year (september/october). Is this true? I want to get one but should I wait to see if a new one comes out?

Nobody will know until they actually announce one.

New iMac 2012 & Mini DisplayPort to DVI-Adapter

Will this adapter work with the new iMac 2012 (27-inch)?
(I´m not sure because there are only thunderbolt ports on the picture and no Mini DisplayPort)
Thank you!
bye

Hello,
A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.
If you plan to do other things with your Thunderbolt connector and don't want it wasted on a monitor, you can also choose an HDMI --> DVI adapter, which for your purposes will be functionally equivalent.
You can even use both at the same time.

Cant update apps on my new imac 2012

have just received my new imac 2012 from apple store but cant update apps. keep getting message " To update this app. sign into the account you used to purchase it". These are preinstalled apps (pages, numbers, iphoto). have spoken to numerous people at apple support but no one can give me answer. this is totally ridiculous. Will I be obliged to return my imac to apple store because no one at apple can help me?

You need to associate the computer with an Apple ID in the App Store.
It's been a while since I had a new system but from memory all I had to do was to sign into the App Store with the Apple ID I wanted associate with the system, this ID will be needed for all future updates for all the pre-installed software. Once you sign in with the ID go to the Purchases page I believe that is where you will link the system and ID.

IR port in the new iMac (2012 late)

I cannot use my remoter on the new iMac (2012 late). Is the IR sensor missing?

If you own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, look at this!
Rowmote Pro

I've seen the Satechi Remote! It's great and it will remote control an iDevice over Bluetooth, too!
This alternative is cheaper if you use WiFi
Good Luck!

Connecting older 23" Display to 2008 iMac 27"

What adaptors do I need to attach a 2002 23" Apple Cinema Display M8536 to an iMac11,1 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7 and will the ATI Radeon HD 4850 support both 2560x1440 on the iMac and the lower resolution of the 23" Apple display simultaneously?

Hello, sadly not without an expensive DVI to ADC converter...

Cheaper ADC to DVI converter won't work.
Then you need an MDP to DVI adapter...

Connecting a serial wacom tablet to the new iMac

Hello,
At home I have an old PC (please don't laugh, I use a Mac at work) and I hope to change this to the new iMac very soon. I have a A4 wacom tablet connected to the PC via the serial port. Is it possible to get an adapter (serial to USB) that will work on the iMac so that I can use the tablet and not have to shell out another X anount of money for a new one??
Thanks in advance.

Want to connect my old Laserwriter Plus to my new iMac

My old LW+ has been connected to my equally old Quadra 700 and Performa 6116 via the old appletalk protocol. Since i rarely play with those anymore, I wanted to hook up the printer (which still prints beautifully) to the new iMac. Trouble is, I have no idea if technology exists to go from the appletalk technology (or even the old serial port) to, say, usb...or maybe even ethernet, and if 10.4.10 will even recognize the old beast. Any suggestions?

If you're willing to turn on one of the old computers as print server, and it's hooked up to ethernet, install Appletalk Bridge on the old server, and your printer should show up in Printer Setup on OS X.
Asante and Farallon made ethernet-localtalk bridge devices that are now available on eBay. My Farallon one doesn't work with my 100baseT network, so I can't really recommend that approach.

Connecting U-verse digital cable box to new iMac

I was wondering if there was a simple solution to hooking up my digital cable box from U-verse to my new iMac so I could watch TV on it when it is not being used as a computer. Note that I do not care about recording TV onto my hard drive etc., just want the output of the cable box to show up on the iMac screen so I can get rid of the TV in the office? I see the Elgato EyeTV but that seems like overkill, is there a cable plus software solution I can get?

There used to be a lot of posts looking for remote codes that worked for the s-10 remote. The new s-20 is supposed to be more friendly to sound systems. You might call in & ask for one.

I just bought a new iMac and am ready to purchase Logic Pro X, but I have a Presonus Fire Studio Project with a firewire 400 as my connection. Will this work with my new iMac? I purchased the Presonus around 2007.

I just bought a new iMac 10.9 and am wanting to purchase Logic Pro X. My question is I have a 2007 Presonus Fire Studio Project 8 channel input box that hooks up with firewire 400 I believe, will this work with Logic ProX on my new iMac?

You will need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter... may also need a Firewire 800 to 400 connector/adapter.
Also need to make sure Presonus has Maverick drivers for the FSP.
