Help- I have a new iMac and cannot connect with iChat

I was able to the first week - but now every time I try iChat with my brother ( or audio ) I get a "Communication Error Message" with a really long message- I did try changing ports to no avail- I have a .Mac account any thoughts ? and my brother can connect with others

Hi kc51295,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
What was the Error log number ?
What settings on the mac have you changed for iChat to work ?
System Preferences > Quicktime >Streaming to 1.5mbps is the first.

Hello JETaylor2015,
Congratulations on your new iPod nano! I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes or my computer. I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized:

We need to narrow down "Old iMac." Please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and tell us what the resulting window reports for your Processor type, as in this image:
Please post exactly what your iMac reports at the second red arrow in my example.

I have an iMac 5.1 which is running OSx10.5.8 - it runs very slowly and I can't find if there is a particular problem. In the process, I have tried to install 10.6 [I have a new iMac] and the 5.1 won't accept the install discs.

As you have discovered... you cannot use the install discs from another Mac...

I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 All in One and to use the "Fax"feature I need a phone port on computer and of course, this computer does not have one. Are there any aftermarket devices for USB to phone that would work in this case?

I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 "All in One and cannot use the fax feature because there is no phone port is there a solution for this?BACellli

You don't need a phone port on the iMac. The HP 7300 DeskJet Pro has an internal modem, you connect the printer's modem connection directly to your phone line. Please re-read the install directions that came with the printer.

I have a new iMac and would like to buy a cheap version of Photoshop to create a simple flyer. If I look on ebay or similar, what version do I require?

I have a new iMac and would like to buy a cheap legal version of Photoshop to create a simple flyer. If I look on ebay or similar, what version do I require?
I understand that Photoshop 5 is not compatible?
I used to use CS5 at work which was very good, doing a little reserach it appears as if this suite has been replaced by a monthly 'cloud' charge which for me as a basic home user is unnecessary.
Appreciate any help.

Hello Simonlala;
Anyone that buys an iMac should not have to buy "cheap". it's like putting "retread tires" on a brand new Farrari! Ugh!
To find a cheap version of PS is to locate an obsolete version only? Software surplus business may have some or check the obituary columns to see if any Photographers or Gaphic Designers have left some things behind?
Some options...enroll in a community college Multimedia class and you will not only have access to Photoshop, you'll have access to much more software for the price of the course. It will also qualify you as a student and you can get a discounted rate on the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as well.
If you are only making "simple flyers" would not MS Word or OpenOffice software do the job for you? There are applications for that purpose and Photoshop is not the only way to skin this cat! Or you can always buy a box of Crayola's and make a pamphlet that way?
And as a bonus, you may learn something from the course you enroll in.
I am a student and subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud...it's reasonable for my purposes for now.

Follow the steps in wjosten's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770 (for Windows, substitute Outlook in step 2).

If that's not a real email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

I have a new Imac and connected a VGA projector

We have a new imac and have connected it to a VGA projector and have purchased a mini VGA convertor cable from the apple store, but now it changes the resolution once you change monitor in the system folder to mirrow. This is the only way we can get it to work. This there a problem with OS Lion.

You can disable it as a desktop in System Preferences > MIssion control > uncheck "Show Dashboard as a space".

Just got the new iMac.
Still using MacBook Pro.
Files are on a external drive shared between these 2 mac platforms and I need to be able to
edit in QT 7 Pro on both as well.
The code was bought in August 2011.

HT1391 I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer

I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer??

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

I have a new iMac, running Mountain Lion, with CS6. I have the tablet with the keyboard. I'm finding that in CS6 I have to type command-C and command-V repeatedly to copy or paste anything. It is not the keyboard; I've switched that out. What is it?

I have a new iMac, running Mountain Lion, with CS6. I have the tablet with the keyboard. I'm finding that in CS6 I have to type command-C and command-V repeatedly to copy or paste anything. It is not the keyboard; I've switched that out. Is it some kind of tablet interference?

Yes, EEK!
Have you run Microsoft Update and installed the latest 14.2.4 Office update yet?
Humor me. When you perform copy, do you then establish keyboard focus by clicking the mouse pointer on the destination screen for the paste action -- before keying the paste?
Have you installed any third-party keystroke mapping software that may be getting between the operating system and these two applications?
Under System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard, have you enabled Sticky, Slow, or EEK! Keys?
In System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard & Text Input, doe the check marks look like the following:
