Does new iMac have fan? Is it noisy?

Does the new iMac have a cooling fan? Is it noisy?
Thanks,
Edward.

It certainly does. IIRC, there is a cooling fan for the processor (there must be one nowadays), one for the optical drive and one for the hard drive, plus maybe one for the graphics card (I'm not sure about this one). I get this info from the disassembly photos of the new iMac.
I don't have an aluminum iMac, but if you search the forum you'll see that most people say it's quiet, maybe even more than the previous Intel iMac (which was reportedly much quieter than the G5 iMac).

The new iMacs do not have a CD/DVD unit. You would need an external unit.

How can I tell what video card and how much video memory does my iMac have?

How or where can I find out: which video card does my iMac have and how much video memory does it have? I've tried looking in System profiler, but I did not see it there. Thank you.

Once you open System Profiler there should be a line called "memory" which is the RAM (vs. hard drive size which is not what is called memory), e.g., Memory: 1.5 GB
For video click on the line Graphics/Displays and look at the chipset line, e.g., Chipset Model: GeForce2 TwinView
Kappy's instructions are handy for checking the original configuration of your computer, but that may have been changed at some time, especially if you bought it secondhand.

Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN besides from the built-in mic?

Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN aside from the built-in mic?
Also, are any special cables needed?
Thanks,
John

Hi
You should be able to check by going to about this mac from the Apple menu. Then click the more info button and then the system report button. Next, click on audio tab to the left. If you don't have an entry for built in input then you probably don't have line-in in your mac. As already mentioned though you should be able to defiantly find out with the model and year.
Hope this helps

Does the new iMac have a built in super drive

Does the new iMac come with a DVD drive

Forget the Apple external optical drive.
It is the same one they used to install in iMacs.
It is still a cheap unit, not great on longevity, prone to premature failure and it is waay overpriced!

What kind of Intel chips does new MBP have?

...or even an iMac for that matter.
I tried to look at Intel website to try to identify both the codename and the processor type.
For example the best MBP processor you can get is the 2.8 GHz one and that might be either the Penryn 2.8 GHZ with L2 cache of 6144KB or the Merom one with the same frequency but with L2 cache of 4096 KB.
Also If that is the case both of the procs are rated Intel Core 2 Extreme (one is X7900 and the other is X9000). So if that's the case can we assume that the new MBPs can be fitted with intel core 2 extreme mobile procs?
Also the same story applies to the new iMac Intel 3.06 GHz...what kind of processor is that? best guess is that it is an E8400?
Thanks.

Hi Andrei,
Stefan...you're implying that the iMac uses a notebook proc? And yes i couldn't find the 3.06 GHz proc anywhere on Intel's website.
Follow the link I provided to the X9100.
The Intel iMacs were always based on Notebook technology ever since they came out.
Only exception is the usage of a 3.5" harddisk.
Mainly because of the integrated design of the iMacs and the need to have a decent cooling of the CPU and GPU made it a neccessity for Apple.
Andrei
PS: Come to think of it, i think it's the PC side of me still talking and asking useless question like what core 2 duo quad extreme blah blah proc does it have... Still new to Mac world.
No need for explanations of your intentions to ask.
This is the place to ask and as you can see you usually get answers.
Stefan

New iMac, have several questions

Community,
First of all I'm not sure if this is the right community to post to. My questions seem to span several forum categories. If there is a better general forum for my questions, please let me know.
I just got a new iMac, (21.5 inch late 2013), with a 1T fusion drive and pre-loaded with Yosemite (version 10.10.1). My "old" iMac is a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo vintage 2006 model with 3G RAM and running Leopard and Snow Leopard. I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of my new iMac and Yosemite and I have some questions. Keep in mind that I'm an old dog trying to learn some new tricks, so please be patient.
1. I think I may already have the answer on this one (via the FAQ I read about Fusion Drives) but I'll ask anyway just to be sure I understand. On my previous macs, I've always partitioned my hard drive into 3 or 4 partitions and I would like to do the same with my new iMac. I tried following the Disk Utility Help but I'm running into a problem. Apparently I can only partition my fusion drive into two partitions. If I try to further partition either of those partitions I find I can only merge the existing two partitions back together. According to the Disk Utility help file, I should be able to create as many partitions as I want. So which is correct, the FAQ, (only two partition on a Fusion Drive), or the Disk Utility help, (as many partitions as I want)? And if I can have more than two partitions, how do I do that?
2. Related to question 1, I also have an external hard drive (plain vanilla iOmega type) that is connected to my old iMac via USB cable. I use it for backup storage. Will there be any problem using that drive with my new iMac?
3. One of my partitions is for Windows. I know OS X has Boot Camp but my understanding is that a user must restart when switching between OS X and Windows. Is that still true for Yosemite? If so, I'll stick with Parallels.
4. Related to question 3, the help link for setting up Boot Camp indicates I need a 64 bit version of Windows 7. I have a 32 bit version. Is that an issue (keep in mind, I'll likely be using Parallels)?
5. More on Windows. I see there is an option to format a Windows partition as MS-DOS FAT. On my old iMac my Windows partition was formatted as normal Mac OS Extended (journaled) and that works fine. Is there a reason I should format the Windows partition on my new iMac as MS-DOS FAT?
6. I miss seeing the hard drive icons on my desktop, everything seems to be in the dock. Is there a way to show my hard drive icon and any other partitions on my desktop?
7. Of course my biggest job will be to transfer data from my old iMac to the new one. The Firewire port on my old iMac is dead (zapped by lightning a few years ago). What is the best way to transfer data between the two computers? Note, I see a warning in the Disk Utility help file that "to prevent loss of data on your Fusion Drive don't connect it to a mac that's using a version of OS X older than 10.8.5". Is that warning relevant to transferring my data since my old iMac has
10.5.8 and 10.6.8?
That's my first barrage of newbie questions. There will likely be more.
John

Niel,
Thanks for the quick reply. I understand 1, 2 and 3. I'll check with the Parallels people to get full resolution on items 4 & 5. It's a shame about the restart requirement for Boot Camp.
Item 6 is a "duh". If I'd looked further I could have answered my own question.
For item 7 I didn't get a definitive answer to my question about the relevancy of the warning. Is there an issue? For the answer you did provide are you saying i should dump everything from my old iMac onto my external hard drive and then move that external drive to the new iMac and load it? With regard to using a network approach, all I have is airport to my DSL router from my old iMac and then either Firewire or airport from the router to my new iMac. How would I use that setup? I have no other local or remote "network".
John

Does the iMac have the ability to view a second video input?

Basically can a VGA input show on an iMac? I have a desktop that I'd still need for certain work related software packages. I'd rather not have a a second monitor on my desk.
Thanks.

I make videos for professional presentations with the iMac 20", 1 Gb memory. Works great. I sync music to the videos in Logic Express. I also have made a lot of home videos which I have burned to dvds.
As for the workflow you mention, there is no need to export to dvd-format. You can just burn you iMovie project as files on a dvd, which will give the convenience of storing on dvd without compression. This is how I make my iMovie backups.
The new iMac has 512Mb RAM soldered in, and only one memory slot. Although an additional 1Gb RAM would be sufficient, I would order 2Gb. Otherwise you will have to remove the 1Gb when upgrading to 2Gb. Unfortunately, the extra RAM is expensive, so you might want to add 3rd party ram afterwards.
Also, for video work, I would choose the largest disc. But of course, by burning your projects to dvd, you can manage with the default disc.
All the neccesary software is included. You can create the movies in iMove, add music from iTunes, create your own music in GarageBand, create DVDs in iDVD (including a lot of cool menu templates).
If you later want to advance to more complex applications, the iMac will be able to run them as well.
If you want to record voice-over and music, you will need a microphone and a sound-interface.
Good luck!

New iMacs have no disc drive, will I have to pay to install software I already own?

So i´ve been on a mission all day trying to find somewhere that has a 2011 iMac in stock, with no success, it appears apple rules over every store in the uk and all 'old' imacs are now discontinued. The main reason I want an old one is because of the fact they have a disc drive (and the slight possibility I could have saved some cash) and I own logic pro 9 on disc. It´s annoying to think that I may have to resort to paying out 80 quid for an optical drive for the new imac or resorting to buying logic again from the app store when in reality i´ve paid for this software and I should be able to install it.
I personally think a solution should be set in place for this, if you have the software on disc and have a valid serial for it you should be able to re download it on the new imacs via the app store. I dont want to mess around with time machine as my mac is clogged up to the max, I simply want a brand spanking new machine, logic pro 9, my project backups and sample library, no more, no less.
If anyone has a solution to my issue please let me know

It's just Apple dragging us kicking and screaming into the future.
See if your Apple online Store has any refurbished iMacs for sale. At present a very limited selection exists in the US store. Their inventory changes frequently.
You should probably be able to continue to use another Mac or PC with a shared optical drive. I have tried it and it works exactly as if the drive were physically installed in your Mac:

Presumably you will still be able to use an external Superdrive:
