Emac/imac compatability

I have a 3 year old emac and imac. Are the airport extreme cards compatable with these or do I need an older airport card?

Depends on which model eMac and iMac you have.

  • Printer Sharing with eMac, iMac, and iBook not working

    Hello, everyone. I hope you guys can help me out with this:
    I have an Epson Stylus CX4600 hooked up to my eMac via USB. My eMac prints fine with it. The eMac is getting its internet via an Ethernet wire going downstairs into my Linksys Router, which sends my Shaw internet to my iBook, my iMac, and my eMac.
    I want to allow the iMac and iBook to access the printer over the network directly, so I can just print from those computers and have it come out the eMac printer.
    I've looked at many articles on this. So far I've installed the drivers on all computers, plus they can all network to each other over File Sharing, so they are connected.
    But I haven't been able to print yet. The most I've been able to do is get the files I try to print from the iBook and iMac to show up on the eMac, in its printer queue. Only it didn't show up for a LONG time. And when it did, the jobs automatically stopped and everytime I clicked start, it would automatically switch back to stopped again. The files would not print.
    At this point, I want to get the iBook connected to it first. If I can do that, I'll try the iMac. But the iBook is first priority. I've tried making it connect to the Printer using IPP (IP Printing), and the result was... what I explained in the above paragraph. I also tried just ordinary Printer Sharing, but it said something close to this:
    "Unable to locate eMac.local, Unknown host."
    That hardly makes sense, because at that time I also tried getting the iBook connected to the eMac over File Sharing which worked. For some reason, the "eMac.local" and "iMac.local" files don't show up in my Network thing when I connect to them, or even when they're not connected. HOWEVER, I think they did at one point. I could swear I saw "eMac.local" and "iMac.local" in the Servers folder in the Network section of the iBook at one point. But it's no longer there.
    Please help. I've described my problem as well as possible. What a long post. If there's any way to make my eMac, iMac, and iBook be able to print through my Epson Stylus CX4600 at any time directly, then I'll do it.
    Help!

    Yes. I did say that my eMac, iMac, and iBook are all
    connected to the internet and networked to each other
    over the Linksys router. I believe the router is
    still on factory settings because we never really
    "set" or programmed anything with it.
    Mac OS 9.2.2 on the iMac, Mac OS X 10.4.8 on the
    other two. IP addresses?
    192.168.1.100 is what I would use to connect to the
    eMac from the other computers.
    This is the eMac's IP, correct? Did you type it into Network, or was it assigned by the router's DHCP?
    192.168.1.101 is what I would use to connect to the
    iBook from the other computers.
    This is the iBook's IP, right? Again, fixed or DHCP?
    192.168.1.102 is what I would use to connect to the
    iMac from the other computers.
    Same for this IP.
    The iBook, as I've said, is wired. No wireless
    connections to speak of.
    Okay. Now, if the router is handing out IP addresses via DHCP, what range was it configured for? My Linksys, for example, is configured to hand out IPs in the range 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.254. It has the IP 192.168.0.1, so the IPs 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.9 are available for me to hand out as fixed IPs. If I was to hand out 192.168.0.100 as a fixed IP, the router's DHCP server would have a potential problem, as it might hand out that address too, and only one device can have a particular IP address on a particular network. If your router is handing out 192.168.1.100, .101, and .102 via DHCP, you could and probably do have a conflict if you've got those addresses set up as fixed IPs. In particular, if you have anything else on the network, including Bonjour-enabled devices such as printers, you're likely to have a conflict.
    Best way to resolve a conflict, if any:
    1 set all the Macs to either DHCP, or if fixed IPs are required, to a fixed IP outside the range of the DHCP range on the router. (Or you could just turn off DHCP on the router.)
    2 check the router to be sure that DHCP is set the way you want it, and the DHCP pool is what you think it is.
    3 shut down the Macs.
    4 turn off the router, wait 30 seconds, turn it back on.
    5 turn the Macs back on, one at a time.
    On my Linksys, the way to set the DHCP pool is simple:
    1 log into the router. (My router IP: 192.168.0.1. Yours would be 192.168.1.1.) Hit the 'Setup' tab. Verify the gateway IP. (Should be the router's IP. If it's not, something very strange is happening.) Verify the start of the DHCP pool. Verify that DHCP is on (or off, as you want). Verify the end of the DHCP pool. (My start is 192.168.0.10, and there are 245 IPs in the pool, so the end is 192.168.0.254. If I changed the number of IPs to 200, the end of the pool would be 192.168.0.209, and I'd be able to set the IPs 192.168.0.200 to 254 as fixed IPs if I wanted.) If your router allows for IPs to be reserved, you can set up reserved IPs for one or more of your Macs. (A reserved IP is an IP the router holds for a specific device. The network card in each computer has a specific MAC address; if that address is registered with the router, then every time that computer is turned on and connected it will get the IP that was reserved for it... so long as that IP is in the DHCP range and DHCP is turned on. Think of it as a fixed IP without your having to actually fix the IP.)

  • Emac, imac, ibook installs

    I have an emac(parent's) and an imac(mine) and am about to buy an ibook(for college), none of these have Tiger 10.4 on them, either Jaguar or Panther. If I get Tiger 10.4 to update them, will I be able to use it for 3 different computers, and if so, will the imac or ibook, since they are older, still run smoothly? Also, I am more than likely going to get Microsoft Office(eww) because I need it for school, can I install this on all 3, and will they all run smoothly still? Thank you.
    imac, emac, ibook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    My husband recently installed (erase and install) Tiger on our 2 800mHz eMacs and we couldn't be happier. Both got iLife '06 at the same time and mine got PS elements4. Both of us feel that there is a noticeable increase in speed and we have had zero problems. Buy the family versions and upgrade them all. We had been stuck in 10.2.8 for years with 25,000 pix in iPhoto 2 and were afraid to upgrade due to all the problems we had heard about newer versions of iPhoto and losing album structure and so on. We aquired a used 12" iBook recently with panther and tried iLife '06 on it first. We copied our iPhoto libraries to an external drive, dropped them into the empty pictures folder, then opened iPhoto which proceeded to convert the libraries to version 6. Guess what? None of the probs we had heard about happened, and now weboth have identical copies of iPhoto on each of our computers.

  • EMac/iMac tiger installation dvd

    Can the Tiger DVD installation discs of an iMac or eMac be able to be installed on a G4 Powermac running Panther, please?
    Thanks in advance

    You bet. Besides that you'd be violating the software terms of agreement you agreed to by installing an OS on several machines at the same time.

  • Are there iMac-compatable voice recorders?

    I'm looking for a portable digital voice recorder to record meetings, interviews, etc. The only ones I can find are only Windows-compatable. Does anyone make one for the iMac?
    Please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong place...my iMac is the computer that I would download the files to (as MP3 files?), so I thought this would be the most appropriate forum.
    Anyone have any experience/ideas/suggestions?
    Thanks,
    David aka "The Writerdog"

    Paul, I just ordered an Olympus DS-2200 YESTERDAY, after months of research, to be used in interviews with corporate executive to help me writing speeches, as well as for some casual dictation. I had some specific needs (fast and slow playback), substantial recording time, and the ability to send files to transcribers and clients in standard formats who are in the Windows world. Also, the form factor (small and lightweight) was important to me.
    I discovered a few things that might be useful to you:
    1. Olympus is the only major-brand digital recorder that is Mac compatable (and none yet for Tiger). However, not all their recorders work with Macs. You have to read the specs carefully.
    2. Olympus has a regular line and a "pro" line. The difference primarily is one of removable media (a photo-memory card) in the pro line, and additional features (number of folders, etc.). That's what I decided upon, even though it was a little more expensive than the consumer model.
    3. Olympus has a wide range of Mac-compatible models, at various prices, depending on recording time and features. Olympus has a pretty good Web site for comparision, but I found it kind of confusing with all the choices.
    4. I was unable to find a retailer in LA carrying either the full line of recorders, or with any knowlegeable sales people. (Don't get me started on this.) I really wanted to see them in person, but after a while, I gave up.
    5. After six months of research (and frustration), I ordered mine from novuscript.com, a company that specializes in transcription management, rather than just an electronics retailer. Brett, the president of novuscript, was incredibly helpful on the phone, and his prices were very competitive. He says that the DS-2200 is the most popular model with his writer customers, and after downloading all the manuals, brochures, etc., on different models, I came to agree with him.
    6. My recorder will arrive next week; I will post a follow-up on my experience with it when I get it set up and working.
    Hope this is helpful to you! --David aka Writerdog

  • 10.4.8 Versions...emac, imac, powermac, etc.

    First off.....excuse my naivete! I'm not up on all the Mac lingo yet, but I like to think I'm getting there.
    I'm new to this whole Mac thing and although I find it quite exciting to use and learn, one thing stands out in my mind. Why are there so many different versions of the same software 10.4.8? Emac version, imac version, g5 version, etc.
    I have a G3 800 ibook, bought off ebay recently. Came with 10.4.8 installed, but no discs. Not a big deal.
    DH bought a G4 400 tower, again off ebay. Again, came with 10.4.8 installed, but no discs. Not a big deal.
    Or so we thought.
    We want to do a complete fresh re-install on his tower. But searching on ebay is getting frustrating. So many versions, and all different prices.
    Is there a version out there than can be used across all types & kinds of macs? Or, can you use a version of software that doesn't correspond with your system? {For example...could we use an 'emac' version on my ibook and DH's tower?} I've found 'full version' discs that are priced high. And then there are 'emac version' discs that are considerably cheaper
    I'd rather not have to purchase a set of discs for my ibook and another complete set of discs for his tower.
    Sorry so long and winded, but this topic isn't something I've been able to find in the FAQ's or previous postings.
    TIA for any answers!!
    canadianmom....

    Since you are purchasing used Macs and even though these Macs have the latest Tiger version installed - 10.4.8, it isn't a good idea to purchase a used Mac without the original install package that shipped with the Mac when new along with the Tiger install package used to upgrade the Mac to Tiger (which should be a retail install package) or just the Tiger retail install package.
    A new Mac ships with additional software not included with the Tiger retail install package and if a used Mac was upgraded to Tiger over the OS and additional software included when the Mac was purchased and you need to reformat the hard drive for whatever reason, you will not be able to re-install any of the additional software included with this Mac when new and if the Tiger retail install package isn't included either, you can't run Disk First Aid repair, reinstall individual software included on the retail install package or perform an Archive & Install or an Erase & Install if needed.
    So this is a big deal.
    The Tiger install package that ships with a new Mac when new is model and build specific and cannot be used to install Tiger on another Mac unless the Mac is the same model and build included with the install package.
    A Tiger retail install package can be used to install Tiger on any Mac model that meets the minimum system requirements but does not include any of the additional software provided on the install package that ships with a new Mac. No iLife package, etc.
    Be careful when purchasing a Tiger install package via eBay. You need what is called a Tiger retail install package but a single user copy can be used to install Tiger on a single Mac only.
    As already provided, you need to purchase a Tiger Family Pack which allows you to install and use Tiger on up to 5 Macs as long as they are in the same household by Apple's definition of household.

  • IMac compatibility with a Zyxel DSL modem

    I installed a new Zyxel DSL modem connected to a Time Capsule with an ethernet cable with the TC creating my wireless network.  My iMac connects perfectly with the TC's wireless network, but the moment I switch on the Zyxel model to provide internet access, my iMac gets a beach ball that never stops spinning.  Are there compatibility issues between the Zyxel DSL modems and an iMac, or do I have settings on my iMac or Zyxel modem that causes some sort of conflict that causes my iMac to hang?  I've never had a problem before with my iMac hanging, it's been as solid as the rock of Gibraltar!

    I've used the brand in the past
    routers don't rely on drivers so routers follow the std of ethernet
    I would expect it to be 100% transparent for a computer what router was
    using from
    a mac
    to a
    computer running windows 3.11 from the 90's
    to a windows 8.1 computer
    to a linux computer
    the ethernet tcp/ip packets sendt are the same no matter what device send them

  • Kodak Playsport and iMac compatibility

    I just purchased the Kodak Playsport. Great camera, but im having trouble importing files into my iMac G5.
    the camera records .MOV files in 1080p 30fps, or 720 at 60fps, or 720 at 30fps, or some other resolution that is even lower WVGA?
    I have iLife 09.
    when I plug in the camera it automatically opens iPhoto. I can import the video files (.MOV files) into iPhoto or directly onto the HD as .MOV files, but when I play them back in Quicktime, the video is very "choppy".
    When I import files directly from the camera to iMovie, they take EXTREMELY LONG TIME to import, but playback is perfect. When I say extremely long time, I mean it takes approx 3+ hours to import 10 minutes of video at 1080p. - Not acceptable.
    When I called Kodak tech support,they were actually reasonably helpful and accessable (approx 15 min wait time) but were not able to solve the problem.
    In the end, they said it was my system was inadequate for playback of HD video because I only have a 2.0 GHz processor and 1.5 GB of Ram.
    Does anyone have experience with the Kodak Playsport and iMac G5?
    Does the claim by Kodak that my system is not adequate for playback of HD video files sound reasonable?

    Michael Christopher wrote:

    Yes. 
    1080p files are HUGE, and, as you have found, they test the limits of your Mac. If you really need to use 1080p video, buy as much processor and disk space as you can afford with your new Mac. For best 1080 results, you will probably also want to upgrade from iMovie to Final Cut Express or Final Cut Studio.
    If you keep your current Mac, you will see little if any loss of video quality on your Mac and MUCH better performance when importing saved files if you set your iMovie > Preferences... > Video to import "Large" files instead of "Full" size.
    If you are importing directly into iMovie from your "Playsport", use the choices bar at the bottom of the import Preview window to reduce the "Video Size" of your import.

  • IMac compatibility with 5.1 digital speakers

    Hello folks, here is my question (sorry if it's been posted before):
    I have just purchased a logitech z 5500, which has a 5.1 sound. I am going to buy an iMac as soon as they release the new one, but will it support my speakers set? I know you can't tell yet, but what are your opinions? And do the latest iMacs support it?
    Thanks.

    Mac's do put out DD 5.1 sound, you just need an optical connection. The connector will need connections like:
    http://www.macconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=4919364&br=14
    If the Logitech Z 5500's have a optical connection then I'd say you're in business!

  • Upgrading EMAC OS compatibility question

    I have just bought an emac off ebay. Its currently running osx Jaguar 10.2.8. Its version 2.1 G4 800mhz 768mb ram super drive. Im wondering if it would be possible to upgrade to osx 10.4 tiger. Have been looking at a few and they indicate that they are only for the intel models. Which as far as im aware the emac i have doesnt have an intel processor

    O.K. I am in the same boat and would like to upgrade, what would you recommend for memory upgrade. Right now I have only the original machine and can install another board. We mainly use this for homework and email but the girls are really liking garage band and other programs as they get older. We will be buying another unit in the near future and would like this Emac to go a little furthor. THANKS!!!!!

  • IMac Compatibility w/Yamaha RX-N600 Network Receiver via CAT5 LAN?

    I just purchased the new Yamaha RX-N600 6.1 Channel Network Home Theater Receiver. While I could have purchased the optional Yamaha YDS-10 iPod Dock, my iMac G5 already has all of my iTunes playlists, so I was hoping that I could connect the two through my CAT5 ethernet LAN system in my house. Upon reading the instruction book (after I opened the box) it states that I need to upload Windows Media Connect 2.0 from Microsoft's website onto my PC. Great. Going to that website, there does not appear to be any version available for Macs.
    Assuming the Yamaha is not compatible w/iMacs (although the optional iPod Dock would seem to suggest otherwise), is Airport Express my only other option? Would Airport Express still allow me to use my CAT5 ethernet LAN?
    FYI: Yamaha's website states: "Using a local area network (LAN) connection and Windows Media Connect technology ver.2 or better, Yamaha Network enabled receivers allow you to play MP3, WMA and WAV music from up to four (4) PC’s. The receiver can even be used as a client for Yamaha’s MusicCAST home music server, seamlessly integrating with the MCX-2000 digital audio server within your LAN. The Network Receiver also provides the ability to listen to any of the thousands of stations available on Internet radio when connected to a broadband Internet connection. By using the included vTuner data service that is enabled, looking for content on the Internet couldn’t be easier, from your favorite Rock, Pop, or R&B to Podcasts that cater to your music interests. Yamaha Network Receivers get you connected to the vast music content available anywhere on your LAN and on the web."
    Any suggestions/idea/hints/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

  • IMAC compatability with MS Vista

    Does anyone know if the new MS Vista operating system will be able to run on iMAC machines? I bought my iMAC 2 weeks ago, and though I want to dual boot with Windows XP, I don't want install it if Vista will work.
    iMAC 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Or not wait and see, it is really YOUR choice.
    Go to the search bar and type in the words "Vista iMac" (without the italics, of course). You will get over 500 posts relating to the subject. Somebody out there has tried it. Hope this helps.
    On another note, what's with some folks in here being so dang politically correct and all with regards to Beta products? Of COURSE Apple won't support Vista while it's in Beta, but that doesn't mean that people won't or can't try it. Stop trying to kill the messenger, and point them in the right direction, for crying out loud.
    If loyal Apple fans didn't have a long history of being willing to be on the bleeding edge, or at least leading edge, of technology then I'd be typing this on an Apple IIc. Get over it and help people find the answers they are looking for, OK?

  • Emac office compatability

    hi all.
    a long time mac user, first time buyer has a few basic questions.
    firstly, as i will be using my shiny new emac for my university work, does it ship with office and also, does it support word and therefore the .doc format, as this is how i have to submit my assignments.
    also, will 512MB of RAM be enough to support me in my day to day usage, or should i dive into my overdraft and go for a whole gig? i don't use photoshop and my basic chores are firefox, word and a few messaging services. do you think 512 will cover me?
    lastly, is it easy to connect a mac to the LAN network that i have access to in my room at university?
    any general thoughts or tips would also be greatly appreciated. thanks.
    tim.

    Tim,
    Thanks to you and Wade for reminding me that sometime after I bought my eMac, Apple started bundling a demo version of Office. I don't know if that demo can be licensed to the full version for less than the Student/teacher package costs, but you'll have a couple of weeks to find out. I don't think the demo is crippled (i.e., features disabled) but in any case it will let you get your Word .doc files open the way you're used to seeing them.
    AppleWorks, QuickTime Player, and the like will handle many of your existing files out of the box. For others, or for a user interface you're more familar with, you can download Windows Media Player for the Mac to handle .wma files, download Real Player, etc. Generally, for any Windows freeware program you've used, there's an equivalant Mac download. Good sources to bookmark for software downloads are VersionTracker and MacUpdate.
    You may want to see if your school's library has a copy of David Pogue's OS X: The Missing Manual (you'll want the Tiger edition) or even consider buying your own copy (I'm pretty sure as a student you'd prefer the former to the latter --- use the money on a UPS instead!). Pogue's series of guides have been highly recommended for years and include tips especially for switchers.
    A low-end UPS costs about the same as a high-end surge protector. Cheap surge protectors use MOSFETs and unfortunately degrade over time and exposure to voltage spikes, and have a nasty habit of losing effectiveness while leaving the status LEDs still lit to show OK.

  • Aluminum keyboard compatibility with emac?

    Hi, I hooked up the keyboard that came with my 2007 iMac to my eMac (iMac is broken) and it worked for a day or two and the longer I had it hooked up, the more problems I had and finally this morning
    the sound control on the keyboard broke. I have an older keyboard hooked up now to my eMac and it's fine. I had looked up that keyboard on apple's website and it said it would work with system 10.4.10 and I have 10.4.11 but I'm wondering if the older eMac itself is not compatible? Does anyone know?
    Thank you,
    Martha

    Happy day to you, Cosmic!
    Thank you for your reply!
    My eMac is 1.25 and it has 3 USB ports.
    What I did was immediately replace the keyboard with an older one and I've had no more problems.
    Because my iMac is out being fixed right now, I don't want to put that aluminum keyboard back on it in case it ruins my eMac, then I'd have NO computer to use. I think it best I try it on my iMac when that comes home hopefully this week and see if it works on that. It was doing some other strange stuff too, making loud noises (not from the keyboard, but from the computer) and it kept showing
    strange menus flashing on and off where there shouldn't have been any menus.
    I was hoping it was something simple like maybe it was incompatible but it doesn't sound like
    it, does it?
    Thanks again!
    Martha
