Does the new imac support 3D movie play?

I was wondering if the newest iMac can play 3D movies, like the new 3d blue ray/3D tv can, anyone knows about this?

There were two sources. One was the Apple iMac descriptions themselves and the other is the much more detailed info available on everymac.com .
Everymac.com clearly states the current iMacs support audio output from the miniDisplayPort, however when I rechecked Apple's website today, there is no mention of it in the current iMac tech specs.
So, this is, at a minimum, inconsistent information, and doesn't actually confirm one way or another whether or not the current iMacs support audio over the mDP.
On the other hand, Apple have 2 KB documents about this topic - TS3065 and HT4241 which state that audio output from the mDP is only supported on:
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
Mac mini (Mid 2010)
MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010)
Interesting that the latest iMacs are not mentioned, but I believe both articles predate the latest models.
I understand this is not as definitive as I believed it was when I wrote my original post.
What mDP-HDMI adapter are you using and what device are you connecting to?

  • Does the new nano support gapless playback?

    I listen to A LOT of trance/progressive stuff (Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, John O'Callaghan etc). Usually these albums are mixed, requiring gapless playback. Does the new nano support this?? VERY important to me that it does, otherwise would have to skip buying one and stick to my iPod 5G & iPod touch. I do like the new wearable design though...

    Gapless playback and crossfade playback are 2 different things - buy a mix album and try playing it using crossfade playback - I'll let you figure out the difference (yes, really!).
    Anyway, I've bought 2 (silver and red) and yes, they do support gapless playback.

    does the new IPAD3 support the 3G in Egypt?

    The New iPad supports 3G world-wide wherever there is a local provider of iPad data plans and iPad micro sim cards. Read the specifications. http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
    So the question really is, are there 3G providers in Egypt who support the iPad?

    iWork apps like Pages can usually display Arabic correctly but have various bugs that probably make them unsuitable for this language for most purposes.

  • 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!

  • Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

    Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

    The soon to be released new iMacs don't have a DVD drive. I don't believe that Apple have updated their site to say their USB drive will work, but the expectation is that it will.
    I watched the keynote and when Phil Schiller was presenting the new models I think he mentioned something about it working and he had one on the desk next to the iMac.
    I'm going to check the keynote if it's still up and I'll update my post if I'm wrong.

  • Does the New iPad support SIRI as iPhone 4s?

    Does the New iPad support SIRI as iPhone 4s?
    I saw mic icon on left side of space is look like siri feature but i don't know how to setting.
    anyone can help for this?

    That would not be Siri, that would be dictation. When you want to say something rather than type it, tap that button and say want you want. All of your words will be changed into text. It's very similar to dragon dictation. Siri currently is just an iPhone 4s thing.

  • Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

    Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

    It's $80.00. You can buy other externals for less, I think, but only the Apple one will work with Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows and any other applications that will only work with an "internal" optical drive.
    If this isn't important for you, then explore less expensive alternatives. Check out OWC for example.

  • Does the new Imac mid-2011 support 3D movies?

    Hi All,
    Just wat to know if the new mid-2011 imac support 3D movies with the 6970 graphics card. Thanks

    I want to know the same thing, someone needs to reply, The graphics card of course can cope with 3d (in boot camp of course) but can the screen cope with it ... I will research the screen specifically and find out

  • Does the new iMac (27 inche) have thunderbolt in-put?

    Im planning to buy the new iMac 27 inche, and I'm wondering if you can use it to play ps3, Xbox 2013, bluray player ext... With thunderbolt to hdmi cable!

    I believe the source of the video needs to also have a Thunderbolt port, so it goes from a Thunderbolt port to the iMac's Thunderbolt port.

  • Does the new iMac still have these?!?!

    Heyy,
    I was wondering, and I'm quite curious. When I look at the new iMac design I see things that it might not have that the last generation had.
    1) Does it still have a sleep light, if it does, where is it?
    2) Does it still have the magnetic side where the Apple Remote sits?
    Thanks,
    Ramin

    Heyy,
    Thanks for the fast reply. I'm extremely surprised that Apple would do this. I still prefer my iMac (white one), and this pushes me even further away. Even though it's newer, I don't think it's better (except for processors and hard drive), but they can me upgraded(with a lot of hard work!)
    Again, thank you for the information.
