It's a challenge on the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers. If you post your iMac's processor type and Mac OS version from "About this Mac" under your Apple menu, we can better determine what actiosn to advise.

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

How do you sync iCal on my iMac to my iPad?

How do you sync iCal on my iMac to my iPad?

Hi Patti,
You need to use a server calendar system like on iCloud or Google Calendar. You could alternatively connect your iPad to the computer and use iTunes to sync calendars.

How do you watch an iMovie with this 11inch macbook air?!!?

I have a research project for class and I made a short documentary on imovie... Now I know I can view it on my mac but how can i make dvds? or let alone present it to my class (i.e. dvd) my school does not use macs, so asking IT was useless. Basically my question is, how do you watch a movie created on imovie to a windows based computer??????..... it says the file is .m4v, i am not too sure if that helps. I know there are various cables out there, but college has enough hold on my money, something free would be awesome! I really would like to make a dvd, but i will settle for whatever now...

You can play it using quicktime on a Windows computer - just be sure its installed and you're good to go.

How do you watch videos that require flash on ipad2

how do you watch videos that require flash on ipad2

As flash isn't supported on the iPad (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/), you could try apps such as Skyfire which claim to support flash, though their review are mixed. A number of websites (especially news sites) have their own apps in the App Store, so you could check to see if your favourite site(s) have apps.

How can you watch a macbok pro on a tv

How can you watch a macbook pro on a tv? I have the right cable but it does not show anything from itunes.

I am assuming you have a mini-displayport/thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and of course a HDMI cable.
Set the TV to the input you connected the HDMI cable to.
On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection. Try clicking detect displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection. Check your cables and make sure the mini-displayport plug is pushed firmly in. Mini-displayport plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in the socket.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point. I recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.
You may have to play with the underscan/overscan settings on your TV and the displays prefs for the TV if the picture is too small or larger for the TV screen.
Also, you need to set your Sound preferences to output to the HDMI connection.

TS1587 how do you open get into a imac intel

how do you open get into a imac intel

Up through the 2011 iMacs, getting into the iMac and replacing things was difficult but not at all impossible for the average person. OWC has some great video tutorials on how to open and work on an iMac. The 2012 iMac is considerably more difficult. Personally I would not hesitate to open a 2011 or earlier iMac if it was not under warranty. When mine is past warranty I may well replace the 256gb SSD with a larger one. A 2012 is still under warranty and frankly, I'd buy Applecare and sell it before it ran out of warranty. I got a 2011 refurb instead of buying a 2012.
If you choose to get into an iMac, be sure you have the proper tools and static discharge issues all set before you start.

How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad.

How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad?

Is your email account an IMAP account? If not, the folders will not sync.
If your email account is a POP account, you can create folders and mailboxes in the Mac mail app and those folders will be for local storage and organization on the Mac only. That is a feature of the Mac mail software. Those folders/mailboxes will not sync if you do not have an IMAP account.

How do you get Video INTO an iMac?

I am looking to record a video feed on a mini or iMac using QuickTime. Looking at the specs for both ... no can do. Is there a way?

Hi Sparks,
I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but I hope
this might help.
If you happen to have a DV camcorder, you could
probably use that. There should be either audio/video
jacks on the camcorder for analog input (or an
accessory cable) to get the feed into the camcorder,
as well as a firewire out from the camcorder that you
could send to the imac.
I have used this method in the past to input my
television feed into my ibook with no problems.
I will confirm this method. I have a Canon GL2 used it to connect to my TV and/or VCR and then connect via Firewire400 to my Intel iMac and using iMovie was able to capture video. Worked well.
Then I bought (used) eyeTV200 via Amazon.com (eBay too expensive) and use it now to record VHS and TV programs. eyeTV comes with an editing software ability builtin to remove commercials or other areas of the video you do not want in your finished product. The one thing I use eyeTV for now is to record Amazing Race automatically then the next morning it takes about two minutes to remove the commercials and another ten to burn as a VCD to take to work with me (we have WindowsXP only there) and watch the VCD with Media Player.
I've also burned recorded data to DVD from both TV and old VHS tapes. Very easy and does a nice job.
