GMS buzz from new iMac internal speakers

I have serious GSM buzz from the internal speakers in my new 27 iMAC.
Does anyone else have this?
I can't believe that a £1,200 computer has this problem, especially it is so easy to eliminate in the design process. So I am beginning to think that I have a fault.
This buzz is really annoying and is still there even if i move my iPhone across the room.
So please let me know if you have anything similar.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the quick response.
iPhone 4
Room is a normal study in my house.
Noise is definately linked to iPhone operation - as usual with GSM buzz. Get it at low level even with phone being 6 feet from iMac
I would hope it's not normal.
Any advice?

Buzzing from my powered external speakers.

Im getting a lot of buzzing from my powered external speakers. This is new; everything is grounded. It seems to come in waves.Any ideas?

I had a similar problem last year when I bought my new Mac Mini. After lots of experimenting it turned out to be power line noise. A filtered power distribution strip cured it.

Digital audio input via mini jack/toslink from ADA, monitored via USB audio output... is this do-able? I know digital audio input should be okay but how do I monitor it, apart from using the internal speakers?

You can output audio thru HDMI, with appropriate adapter.
You can use additional cheap external usb audio for monitoring.

Boot Camp - audio coming from headphones AND internal speakers

Am not sure how prevalent this problem is. I've got XP Pro running on my iMac 20", and am guessing I've got a glitch in boot camp's windows audio drivers.
Normally, when you plug your headphones in, your audio signal is supposed to be routed to them and your internal speakers would be muted. On mine, however, only in XP, plugging in the headphones does indeed cause audio to come out of the headphones, but it does not mute the internal speakers. Basically, I can't stop the audio from coming out the internal speakers without muting everything.
I've gotten no help from Windows volume controls, and unlike on the Mac OS side, there isn't a separate volume setting when the headphones are unplugged.
Anybody see this besides me? Anybody find a solution that'll save me the time of waiting for a new audio driver?
Thanks in advance!

no new drivers to download. However, the latest Firmware update at least auto-sets the internal speakers to a lower volume at startup (instead of full volume)

IMac Internal Speakers WITH Audio Out

I have a stereo hooked up to my iMac and everything sounds great. What I'm wondering is this. Is there a way to have sound come out of BOTH the internal speakers and the headphone/audio out jack? I haven't found a simple soultion obviosuly, but is there any kind of work around? I know can buy a pair of external speakers and all would be fine. But I'd like to not take away from the output of the headphone jack. So then I was wondering if I cannot have the internal speakers work in conjunction with the headphone jack, if I get a pair of firewire or USB speakers so as to not take away from the headphone jack, will they even work since I have something plugged into the headphone jack? I'm guessing they would still work since they are independent from the jack, but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Using the optical drive of a MacBook Pro from new iMac for iTunes

Can I connect my macbook pro to my new iMac (no optical drive) with ethernet cable and use the optical drive of the macbook pro to upload CDs to iTunes on the new iMac?

On my 17" MacBook Pro I use the eSata port for Black X Duet Hard Drive Docking station where I put 2 1TB Hitachi internal drives. They are swappable and are about $80.00US. I use the USB port for my system backup and a G-force 500 MB bus powered portable drive on the FW800 port just for the heck of it. It works out really well for me.

Transfering music from new iMac to iPod without losing songs on ipod

Hello,
I've just finised uploading all my CD's onto my new iMac. I now wish to download the contents of the iMac's iTunes library onto my iPod (click wheel but not video) without losing the songs that are already on the iPod. The iPod was originally synced to a Windows PC which was used to download it's existing library. There are a number of songs on my iPod that are not in my new iMac's iTunes library & also a large number of songs that are already on the iPod.
Basically, I want to know how I can download all songs from my iMac's library that are not already on the iPod without losing the songs I have on the iPod that are not in the iMac's iTunes library (Ihope that makes sence).
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Dave!
Yes, you can do this.
First off, do this to prevent iTunes from automatically syncing your iPod:
1 - Open iTunes.
2 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
3 - Basically as soon as your iPod begins to display "Do Not Disconnect", begin to press and hold the Option and Command keys on your keyboard together simultaneously.
4 - Continue to hold these keys for about 20 seconds, throughout the time when your iPod is showing up in the Source List in iTunes.
After you've done this, click on your iPod's name in the Source List (the Source List is the left panel area of iTunes), and under the "Summary" tab, tick the "Manually manage" option for your iPod. Also, go to the “Music” tab, and ensure that the “Sync” option isn’t selected.
Click the “Apply” button in the bottom-right corner to save your changes.
Manually managing the songs on your iPod will allow you to preserve the current content that you have on your iPod, and transfer new content from your iTunes library to your iPod.
When you are connecting your iPod to a computer that is different than what it is normally synced to, you will get a message that says something like: "The contents of the iPod "your iPod's name" is synced to another iTunes library. What would you like to do?"
You will be given a couple of options, and make sure to click on "Cancel", and NOT "Erase and Sync" (or else the current contents of your iPod will be erased, and the iPod will be synced with your iTunes library).
So, after you've saved your iPod's songs from being automatically synced off of it, you can transfer your iPod's music to your compter if you wish.
You can install a third-party program onto your computer that can do this copying.
Try using Senuti.

Process to access .mac from new iMac

Have 2 computers, eMac & new iMac 20" I can iWeb publish without problem to my .mac account from the eMac (in fact, have 4 different web sites online at present.) When I attempt to publish a new site using iWeb 08, I'm continually asked to sing in. First comes an update request which I check 'Don't Change'. and a drop down progress bar at the top of the iWeb window. Next comes the .Mac info window asking if I'm a member (sign in) or wish to become one.
When I click the 'Sign In' button, up comes the 'Already a Member?' question followed by my .Mac member name and the coded password (which shows a total of 12 digits vs. my actual 6 digit one)
That's as far as I can go as there are no other buttons to click except the account info one which gets me nowhere.
I want to move on to using some new iWeb 08 features but cannot.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Wayne Garriepy

Try launching Keychain Access - its in your Utilities folder - and look under login passwords to check the info for "idisk.mac.com" to see if it is correct.

Move data from new iMac to Mac SE 1/20

I have some classic Mac software I always migrated to my new Macs for years. Now I got an old Mac SE 1/20 and I wan't to move all my old software to it from my 27" iMac.
The problem:
I bought 1,4 MB DOS-formatted floppies which both computers can read and write to (with PC Exchange on MacOS 7.5).
When the files are copied to the disks on my iMac they look fine, with their long filename, icons,…
But inserted into the SEs floppy drive the disk mounts with 8-character-names and all metadata is lost, so the SE can't open anything.
Formatting the disk to Mac format on the SE creates a disk the iMac mounts as read only volume.
I also have a G4 iMac at home, would using it in-between help?
Thanks for any useful hints!
David

Mac OS 10.6 and above can only read HFS disks, not write to them. You will need to transfer the software from the iMac to another mac running 10.5 or lower (i'm 99% sure that 10.5 could still write to HFS disks, however if not then 10.4 tiger definitely could). And then from that mac, transfer the files to the floppy disks after they have been formatted in the SE.
.... HFS is the format that the SE uses, not to be confused with HFS+

Can't print in color from new iMac running 10.10

I recently purchased a new iMac to replace my 10 year old machine. Its great. However, I can't print in color to my HP Photosmart 7510 all in one. Its not the printer because I printed a test page from the printer and it was color. I have tried to print from iPhoto and Creative Cloud Photoshop CC. I left a post on the HP forum and also left a question on the HP support site and have gotten nothing. If anyone can help me with this, I will be grateful. Hope I don't also need a new printer. I uploaded the latest driver for the printer. Maybe that is the problem.
Thank you in advance. You guys on this site are awesome!

Hi,
When you print are you sure that you have print in color selected? if you do then try re-installing your printer. This video helped me.

Migrating iLife apps from new iMac to G5 machine with Leopard

I bought the iMac which came with iLife and then built up a dual proc G5 to do music and video on. I don't want to have to buy a copy of iLife since I already have it but really want Garage Band, Movie Maker and iDVD on the G5. I started to migrate these with Migration Assistant but it didn't give me an option to choose just those apps. Is there a problem with me migrating all apps and then just deleting the ones I don't need on the G5? I assumed this would move the licenses for the apps from the iMac to the G5. Can someone confirm if the Migration effectively uninstalls the app on the machine it's being migrated from?
I'm not interested in making a copy of these three apps and am happy to delete them from iMac once moved over but it's not clear to me that this will work (even thought guys as the Apple store said I could do it).
Thanks

The short answer is probably no.
I have 2 imacs both Intel.
I was having a problem with iLife apps on my older imac and so I dumped the iLife apps to reinstall them.
I inserted the install disk for my newer imac and it refused to allow me to install from that disk.
I used Pacifist and it worked for all apps except iPhoto which would not work properly even after several attempts.
I located my iLife 08 disk and it installed fine.
Despite the fact that most of the iLife apps seemed to install using Pacifist, they were suspect so I installed them all afresh from the ILife 08 disk.
The last thing I need is a program that may screw up and lose some of my photos, movies or compositions, especially when the package is reasonably priced.

IChat uninstalled from new iMAC

I removed iChat from my new iMAC and now I cannot find a way to install it. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a way to install it from the web--O/S is Leopard.

Ryan's FAQ http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121719
This works for Leopard as well except it is in the main Intall package as there is no Optional Install folder.
You can also run the Disk as if you were going to install and select just iChat at the appropriate stage.

Explosive sounds from macbook before internal speakers going out TWICE

Hey guys,
So my internal speakers stopped working about a week ago, and a few hours before that my laptop started making weird sounds - it sounded like a mini war was going on inside my computer.. explosive sounds (i know it sounds silly but my friend was there and he heard it too). Then a few hours later, my internal speakers stopped working, AND my headphones wouldn't work either. There is no red light flashing in the headphone jack..
But a few hours later after restarting and shutting off my computer a few times, the sound came back again! The explosive sounds stopped happening.. until a few days later when i heard the sounds AGAIN. And of course, my internal speakers are dead once again.
Everything else on my laptop is fine. Nothing is corrupted, my applications are running smoothly. I'm guessing because the sound is out, videos are not playing either. It would load, but it won't play. Same with iTunes. Even if I select a song, it won't play!
I also ran the hardware test on my laptop twice. Once it's the short version, the second time was the extended version. Both times the results were normal, that there's nothing wrong with my hardware.
Someone please help me! What else can I try?
-Steph

Weirdness, I opened that, but the main volume slider for that is greyed out no matter what I do. It's all weird:
