Have hardware problems associated with the new 27 inch iMac been addressed?
I realize that this question may have been answered on another iMac post, but my wife and I thought we would quickly post the following question just in case there are some similarly quick answers:
We are thinking about acquiring one of the new 27 inch i7 iMacs. However, several initial problems have been reported with the new 27 inch iMac, e.g. screen problems, startup problems, etc.
According to Macworld (about 2-3 months ago), Apple finally acknowledged these hardware problems.
How do we know that acquiring one of the new 27 inch iMacs is a safe bet now…? Meaning, have these problems been addressed…? Has there been another announcement from Apple saying that these manufacturing processes/problems have been satisfactorily addressed…?
Thanks in advance!
I bought one two weeks ago; 27" i5. No problems found.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at

• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.
From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off" -
i have updated my phone with the new 6 IOS. Since doing this my icloud account keeps saying that verification failed and the certificate for service is invalid. Folowin this problem my phone also does not recognise my other iphone contacts so i cannot facetime or send imessage
You don't need an app. You need couple's counseling. I believe what you want to do may also be illegal in many jurisdictions.

Hello,
Apple released today, sep 06, 2006, the new 24-inch iMac, that appears besides the 17-inch and the 20-inch models.
The picture of the 3 are the same, but one thing called my attention: the 3 seems to be wide screen, which means that the ratio between the width and the height should be 16:9 (the default ratio was 12:9), but one sees more of the same picture in the larger ones.
It should be the same.
That advantage should occur if one compares a screen 12:9 with another
16:9.
To make it worse, I am a High School Math teacher, which means that I know what proportions are.
The only one guess left is: they have different ratios, which should not occur.
I gave one iMac G4 to one daughter, but I never saw the iMac G5 (or Intel).
Or, ... I got one wrong point.
Your points will be appreciated.
Regards,
Jorge Lucas (the guy from Rio Grande do Sul)Hello Mode_Fan,
It looks like you got it right.
Apple played a little bit dirt, making people believe they will see more with the bigger one, but if I got it right this time, the smaller can be put at the same resolution and show the same picture. Or am I wrong again?
Like I already said to myself:
"Lucas, you need to learn about hardware!"
Thanks a lot!
P.S.B.R.S. (Post Scriptum Before Really Scriptum, expression just created/released):
So big improvements, just 6 days ahead of the “It’s Showtime”, makes me wonder that this thing will be very big, because the 24-inch iMac could be the ... one more thing, that we all missed in the WWDC 2006, one month ago.
One can expect the movie deal and the iPhone and I just want see Steve delivering the news like he used to.
By Quick Time, of course, since he only knows George Lucas.

Response time of the new 24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz display??
Apple is not famous for documenting the response time of it's diplays, An exception is the new Apple LED Cinema Display (24" flat panel) which they list as 14ms.
Does anybody know the response time of the new 24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz display??Very nice, I've always wanted a bigger iMac and
wondered why they didn't make one. I'm on a G5
20inch now and it works 100% perfectly. BUt the 24
incher is very compelling!
Myself, never felt the need for a bigger one, the 20-inch is perfect for what I want it to do. Perhaps in the future...
It's pretty obvious why a 24-inch was not offered sooner, as the retail price would have been too expensive to create enough demand to justify production. -
What is the best security lock for the new 21 inch imac?
I want to know what is the best security lock for the new 21 inch imac?
Most computers refer to the locking attachment in some relationship to the name "Kensington", and that might be a useful clue.
Following that, be sure to avoid counterfeit products. A well-known computer vendor (not Apple), was approached by a large purchaser (several tens of thousands of laptops) who insisted on using a counterfeit locking product that had a larger than normal locking tab. The vendor modified the tooling to accept the counterfeit product and, wouldn't you know it, the genuine product would no longer secure the computer properly. -
Hi, I have a problem programming with the JavaCard
Hello,
I am new to JavaCard programming.
I have a problem stucked in adding new class to the sample program "wallet".
I want to add a tag-on / off function that allows the calculation of journey fee when the card holder tags off.
I have no idea of writing the program.
Can anyone give me some ideas or tips?
Thank you.See:

It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
* The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
* To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift)

How can I connect an external monitor to the new 27 inch iMac?
I have an old PC monitor that I want to connect to my new 27 inch iMac, it's the latest edition, the one that doesn't have any mini display ports.
All I have are four USB 2.0 ports and two Thunderbolt ports. No mini display port of any kind. So is there an adapter for me? My old monitor can use either VGA or HDMI and I'm not really fussed which one I use. A link would be most helpful, surley that are more people with the same problem.If the monitor supports vga and hdmi you probably what to use the digital hdmi over the analog vga. You need a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter. For this application mini-displayport will work when plugged into a thunderbolt connection (TB is sort of a superset of mini-displayport, the plugs and sockets are physically compatible).
Here's examples of each kind of adapter:

When attempting to download the new version of itunes I was able to complete the download without a problem but cannot open the icon when everthing is done. I unistalled everything and reinstalled, I followed all the trouble-shooting guides, I attempted to download an older version and nothing is working. Prior to attempting to download this "new and improved version of itunes" everything was working fine. Unfortunately I had to update when I got a new iPhone and wanted to sync it to my old library and needed an updated version of itunes.

What scanner to go with the new desktop 20'' iMac ?
Wife recently had to get a new 'Mac as the old G4 died. She now has the new desktop Imac with the 20" screen.
She needs a scanner to use with this, 'photos and text, just for home use, nice and simple please !!
What is recommended ? We are in the UK if this makes any difference.
Cheers and Thanks
BrianHI Brian,
*"She needs a scanner to use with this, 'photos and text, just for home use, nice and simple please !!"*
I've had excellent service over a 20 yr period with Epson. I have the Epson Stylus CX3200. It's the all-in-one print/scanner and copier and never given me a moments trouble. It's not the cheapest on the market, nor the most expensive. I started with Epson printers early 90's and nary a problem. And zero compatibility issues with the Mac OS X and their support area on their site is good. Also easy to purchase ink cartridges too.
Check MacWorld or Cnet for printer/scanner reviews. Just search on their sites.

Help!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You may have authorised some of them twice, you could always try de-authorising them multiple times or just de-authorise them all.
Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes. -
Power Manager features and other problems associated with the T510
For the better part of 5 years I've been a happy user of a IBM Z60m and decided it was time to pass my z60 off to my son and buy a new T510. Well I after several weeks of ownership I can honestly say I'm irritated and frustrated by several ongoing issues and am ready to send the whole unit back.
From the time I pulled it out of the box I'm been having power management issues. I've been on Microsoft's help forums, called lenovo support, and spent countless hours on blogs and forums looking for assistance. No matter what I do in the lenovo power setting arrangements my computer aways goes in stanby after a minute of nonuse and then asks me for my windows password. So after an entire day of inserting my password my frustration level is off the chart. I removed the password in the user settings that didn't help. I changed the global settings to turn off password in stanby mode that didn't help. I've changed the power choice feature to optimize and others but none of that helped.
Beyond those problems... I inserting two different disks to insert new programs and my system kept telling me it couldn't read either. I first thought they were scratch but my old ibm laptop read each without a problem.
So there you have it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Are you sure the system is going into standby after 1 minute? Or is the screen being locked?
Try this:
1. right-click on desktop and choose "personalize"
2. click on "screen saver" in the lower right corner
3. uncheck the box that says "On resume, display logon screen"
Does that fix your issue?
