Hi I recently purchased iMac 21.

Hi I recently purchased iMac 21. I have wireless connection and have continuous problems with it dropping out even though the signal strength shows very good. Does any one have any suggestions on what could be the problem.

Hi i have checked this out but still have the issue. Signal strengthis good. My Del laptop works perfectly. the issue seems to get worse when try to open several internet files at the same time. It was particularly bad when I was trying to download the latest HD update. I have checked out the update software with Mac support. it is good. Many thanks for your input.

School who has windows servers and recently purchased iMacs with Apple svrs

Hi Folks
I like to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Ranj and I am the IT manager at Queensbridge School in Birmingham, UK.
Our school has recently purchased 44 iMacs with an Xserve and XRAID box.
We are school with mainly windows and unix servers and this reason for us buying a apple server was so we could lock the macs down using managed preferences which we have successfully done.
Our Xserve is connected to our active directory system, and from there it allows our students to login to the macs using there windows credetionals. As the apple server talks directly to AD it also connects to their home share folders.
The problem is my windows server only has a 400gb raid and my plan is to somehow migrate all the home folders from the windows 2003 server to our XRAID but am having trouble with it preserving the windows permissions.
I know that Apple can talk via SMB and if i moved the home directory data to the apple server i would still be able to see it on the windows side but am having trouble copying all the files and folders whilst keeping all the ownership and security information.
Does anyone know if there is a util or script which will allow me to do this. Has anyone successfully used robocopy (a microsoft tool) which i am familar with and managed to copy data from a windows server to an apple server.
If anyone can help me with this problem it would be most greatly appreciated.
I have to say I been a Windows user all my life but can now see why Apple Macs are a big deal, there are so much better at what they do compared to their window conterparts.
I am looking forward to the world of Apple and this forum
Thanks

Hi Ranj,
welcome on the forum.
I use the cli command rsync for it. I know colleges who use ditto or asr for it.
all programs have good man pages or help.

How to download lion on recently purchased imac free as promised

Hi there . recently purchased i mac and was told i could download lion free . Any ideas ?

oh... then I understood wrong. thanks for the hint. Would be great, when apple would change that... cause Steve said, from now... the pc/mac is just another device in the cloud...
that would be believable...

My recently purchase iMac came with pre-installed operating software but no backup disks. What happens if I find it necessary to re-install?

Having ditched Windows after years of frustration I recently bought an iMac with Lion pre-installed. While not necessary at this tme there were no installation disks sent with the purchase. What happens should I find it necessary to reinstall the operating system?

No. You do NOT have to buy Lion again.
If you replace your HDD or erase the recovery partion, it will download and install lion from Apple' servers.
See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Quoute:
If you happen to encounter a situation in which you cannot start from the Recovery HD, such as your hard drive stopped responding or you installed a new hard drive without Mac OS X installed, new Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion automatically use the Lion Internet Recovery feature if the Recovery HD (Command-R method above) doesn't work. Lion Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's Servers. The system runs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to ensure there are no hardware issues.

Recently purchased IMAC G5 from friend. How do i upgrade system?

The IMAC G5 is saying that my OS is Mac OS 10.4.9 (32bit) and i am having trouble downloading the newesr Adobe Flash Player. It is telling me that my current version of flash player is 9.0.246.0 and i cannot update it to the new version. Can someone advise what i need to do please as been sitting at this computer for hours trying to figure it out. Thanks

If you wish to upgrade to Leopard, 10.5.x, then you will have to purchase a copy on eBay, Amazon, or by Google search. Leopard is no longer available from Apple.
As for Flash Player use this page - Adobe Flash Player - Downloads - to find versions you can install on your system. The newest versions of Flash only run on Intel Macs and will not work on your computer.

I recently purchased an iMac and used migration assistant to get all files from my emac, but now I have three user accounts. I only want one (perhaps two) accounts. I want all my music, photos and word docs from old computer in one user name

I recently purchased a mac and used a firewire to transfer my files onto my new imac with migration assistant. Now I have 3 users. I want one with all my main files (pictures, music, files from my old computer).
I don't mind having an additional "family" account so my younger daughter can't mess us things, but I can't figure out how to get files from one to the next and then delete the one user name.
Thanks,

In order to delete other accounts you must be logged into an admin account. You cannot delete the account into which you are currently logged.
When you started the new computer you were in the Setup Assistant. You created a new admin account before finishing the setup. You need to log into that account because it is an admin account. You can then delete the account you migrated from the old computer (and any other accounts you don't need or want.)
Then create a temporary new user account with admin status - name it, Temp. Log out of the current account and log into the new account, Temp. Now delete the initial account you created in Setup Assistant. You now have one account, Temp. Now re-migrate your data from the old computer. When that is completed log into the migrated account, which should be an admin account, and delete the temporary account, Temp.

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

On your Mac.......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
The operation will only take a few minutes.
Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs. Back up one Mac first, then back up the other. Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro. I wish to upgrade my IMac to Lion also. Do I need to make a 2nd purchase or will the single purchase suffice? If the single purchase will suffice, how do I facilitate ?

I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro. To upgrade my IMac to Lion, need I make an additional purchase? If not, how do I facilitate the IMac upgrade?

No, you do not need to re purchase Lion. You can re download Lion on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

I recently purchased a new iMac with an external drive. I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac. Comments? Help?

I recently purchased a new iMac with an 1 Terrabyte external drive. I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac. I have not downloaded the external drive's software onto my old Mac because of this concern. May I simply "drag and drop" the contents I want transferred to the external drive, then set up my new Mac with the drive and download there? or is there a better procedure? Comments? Help?

If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.

Hi - I recently purchased a new iMac. I have a registered cs5 design premium package which is an upgrade - I have no disc for cs4 but have the qualifying serial number for it. I have installed cs5 via download onto my iMac but it is not accepting the serial number. Can anybody help. Does anybody else think that Adobe will loose a lot of customers by not providing any chat or call support for cs5 users??

You can support serial number and activation support.

You want to write a review about Mountain Lion? I'm not sure that you can write about the OS at the app store - it's not an app. Or are you talking about the online Apple store? If you want to send feedback to Apple, you could use this:
