How much can the new iMac take on???

I am planning on buying a second Mac, so I was just wondering how powerfull the imac G5 2.1 really is. Can it handle programs like Final cut pro, Logic pro or Cinema 4d.
And how about games like "Star Wars Battlefront", "Battlefield 1942" or "Halo".
Does anybody have any of the above programs running on an imac?
Cheers,
Timbo.

Welcome to discussions Tim!
Well I can only answer part of your question, because I'm not much of a gamer, a computer gamer I mean I play quiet a bit of Madden 06 on my xbox, as for the programs and the performance of the iMac G5 I can help you on that end, I own a 17" iSight 1.9Ghz, and it can handle all the programs you mention above but logic pro ( I don't owed a copy of logic pro so I can't recommend it to you ) as for the others I run FCP, Photoshop CS2, and Dreamweaver 8 with only 512mb of ram with out any problems, now with more ram wich I got 1 extra G they run flawless. As for the games i'm sure someone here can help you on that end.

How long is the new imac update supposed to take?

I am currently installing the new iMac graphics firmware update, and its taken 35 minutes so far, is this normal? This seems to be a bit long to me, I've been staring at the blue screen with the moving circle and no change. Did anyone else's update take forever?

I see this on that link:
Do not shut off the power on your iMac during this update. Loss of power could result in your iMac failing to start up.
Do you have high speed internet access? If not, it probably shouldn't take 35 minutes.
From that page also: This firmware update fixes an issue that in rare cases may cause an iMac to hang during startup or waking from sleep.
So you were having problems with your iMac before you tried installing the update?

Can the new iMac be used as a display for my mid 2010 MBP?

I am considering buying a 2011 iMac and was wondering if the new iMac can be used as a display for my mid 2010 MBP.
I know that the new iMac has a thunderbolt display ports, and my macbook pro does not.

You're referring to Target Display Mode Mid 2011 iMacs this letter will explain how it works or in your case will not work () with your mid 2010 MBP. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Can the new imac stream live tv?

I am thinking of buying an imac, but also tv. Can i stream live tv from the new imac?

Well it depends on what your trying to Ty. You can offer all sorts of things up like Airplay
https://www.apple.com/airplay/
Or even think of purchasing an Apple TV
http://www.apple.com/appletv/
There's simplistic screen sharing as well if you had movies on the iMac and so on, you could just drag and drop the video player.
Let me know what you think of these features and if your looking for something more ^_^

Can the new iMac be used as a display for a Macbook?

I have a Macbook Pro with Retina Display and I wanted to know if the new iMacs which were announced yesterday will allow me to connect my Macbook to it and use it as a display.
I know the new iMacs are not retina displays but it would be great to have additional monitor space.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, via Target Display Mode.

How much can the 30GB iPod hold?

Hellow everyone, Happy Holidays! I was just wondering how much the new iPod can hold at once. Yes I know that it can hold 15,000 songs, 25,000 pictures and 150 hours of video, but for the 30GB i was wondering if those numbers are for if you have just songs, pictures, or video, or if you can have those amounts all at once? A reply would be fantabulous. Have a safe holiday everyone.

I don't know how they measuse photos or videos, but the 15,000 figure for songs will fill the entire iPod, so I figure those numbers are mutually exclusive.

How much can the 16gb ipad3 and the 32gb ipad hold on their storage (apps songs books, etc)

I am just wondering which is better value for money, and how much different stuff each size Memory can actually hold...

a 16 gig iPad usually has 14 and change free after the operating system. the 32 gig has 29 gig and change free.
as to how much it'll hold, it all depends on your file size. Your average movie can be hundreds of megs to 2-4 gig each....and the file size determines how much your device can hold.
I would say, since memory isn't upgradable, buy the biggest you can afford. I have a 16 gig and I get by. I have 2 albums, 4 movies, hundreds of documents and a couple dozen apps and I have 1-2 gig free. On the other hand, i have a 32 gig iPod Touch and it has a lot more music and videos on it and I just recently filled it up to having a couple of gig free.
If you're going to use your device for documents and surfing, go for th 16. But if you plan on movies and music, go for the 32. better to have to work to fill 32 gig than to have to constantly manage content to make the most of your room.

How long should the newer iMacs last?

When I bought this computer, I was expecting to get at least 3 years of use out of it, but I'm wondering if anyone has had any long term experience with the prior flat-pannel iMac's. Is it wrong to excpect 3-5 years out of these without any real problems? Just wondering what your experiences have been, Thanks

"And when they do break down more than they should Apple extends the waranties and service on them like they did with the iMac G5 first generation. So dont worry."
What do I need to do to get help? I've had so many problems with mine, all just after the 3-year extended warranty expired. Even in talking to supervisors, I'm hard-pressed to get anyone to listen. I finally got a replacement disc for the Apple Care which came with my warranty. I had never opened it before it expired, and it had been incompatible with my system since I'd bought it (but I didn't know, since I'd never used it). It took hours of calls and being on-hold to get a supervisor to approve even a replacement disc, which costs Apple little or nothing. The disc didn't work, neither did any of my System Restore discs, the discussions forum couldn't figure out what was ever wrong with my iMac, and now I sit here with all of our iPod music and family videos/photos on an external hard drive which our PC won't read and our iMac won't extract (see my post question about the blank disc). To get support, all I get is the standard line of, "that'll be $49 for each question, valid for five days of support for each question asked." If there's a customer service line where they really help, I'm really needing it! Who do I call to get it working again? I BEGGED my husband to buy me this computer, telling him that Macs were so much easier than PCs. I hadn't worked on a Mac system since early in 1998, and that was in a corporate environment where the IT department handled any problems so I never had to worry about it. My current computer-programming friends can't help at all, because all they know is PC. I really feel lost in a vacuum with my beloved Mac, which is sucking our bank account dry with all of the necessary upgrades and support which come free with a PC.

How to clean the new imac screen

Hi....that link specifically applies to mid-late 2007 iMacs. What about cleaning the iMacs from earlier (last year)? There must be some other way since they specify the type of iMac in the link???
Thanks

How much can the iPod Touch really hold?

Suddenly my 16GB iPod touch could hold 3000 of my photos, 40 videos and 4500 of my songs. But the album artwork was all wrong so I made the stupid decision of restoring my iPod.
Now I can only fit 2500 photos, home videos which are pretty weak on the MB and I had to compromise the 4500 songs to 4055.
What happened?

yeah it seems that the first restore left some fragmented files or somthing on your touch takin up some space. Another restore couldnt hurt and if it leaves more unuseable space you should look into a replacement cause it looks like a bug.

How long should the new iTunes take to download?

It's been 10 minutes and the little "green line" is still at the start.

If your profile information is correct, post to the Tiger forums. If not, update it and provide more details, such as which Update are you trying to install, whether or not you have a bootable backup/clone of your boot volume before trying to update, etc.
