If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

How can i get idvd for my new iMac?

Just got a new imac and went through the process of creating a home video and when it got to open idvd section it couldnt find it.
I called apple and was told they are no longer including it in ilife. Great. Can I buy the ilfe 11, or do I need to find an old copy? It seems like on some of the sites I have looked up idvd is not included in ilfe11 and some say's it is. I don't feel like the hassle of having to return it if its not included.
Also, is there a way to download it somewhere for free??? I wish I would have known because I did see a good deal on the previous version but figured I would pay a little more for the brand new model. I think this is an important little detail apple salespoeple should mention. After all, apple has made a pretty good name for itself in film editing. (although I realize if I had final cut studio it would include idvd) what about us novices? Any advice would be appreciated.

That will prove helpful in getting a free copy of iDVD, because you are still within the return period.
I think this is an important little detail apple salespoeple should mention.
Agreed, buyers should have to sign a document acknowledging that iDVD is not included.
After all, apple has made a pretty good name for itself in film editing.
Let's hope that doesn't change.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Make a couple of phone calls.
iDVD is a “Must Have".   (Yes, it should be included.)
Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.

Most people report that by asking here:   http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
or here:   http://www.apple.com/contact/
they got a free copy of iDVD.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

For best quality, I use iMovie 06 and iDVD 11 on a Mac Pro tower.

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router.
1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
3. Can I create a network and how?
4. What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical. Any help / advice will be much appreciated.

The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router. I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

How do I translate word perfect old files for my new iMac?

How do I translate Word Perfect old files for my new iMac? They are transferred from a 13-year-old Dell. My McLink did not work.
Thanks.

The current version of the free LibreOffice continues to support Word Perfect documents. OpenOffice had to drop this support due to licensing issues. LO installs in two places: /Applications and your local Library/Application Support directory. Simple to install. Simple to remove. Good PDF documentation from their site. It is a capable MS Office replacement.
I just opened a wpd legal deposition in LO and it looked fine.

How do I make a boot disk for my new iMac?

Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
   2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this entire command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
     sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume
     /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again. Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

How can i use my old iMac as a extended desktop display for my new iMac?

I recently purchased a 21.5 in iMac and wanted to use my old iMac as a extended desktop. My new iMac has thunderbolt and USB 3.0 connections while my old iMac has firewire (400 and 800), USB 2.0 and mini-DVI. Is this posible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your iMac has got Mini-DVI, you have a 17, 20 or 24-inch iMac that doesn't support Target Display. Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and iMacs with Thunderbolt can be used as external displays. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If your old iMac doesn't support Target Display mode, you can use ScreenRecycler to use your old iMac as an extended display for the new iMac. The only thing you need is that both Macs are connected to the same network

Preparing for a new iMac

Hi,
I currently have an iMac from 2008 (running Leopard) and will be buying a new iMac next month. I'm not sure which iMac is the best option for me. I know I want the 21.5 inch screen, but i'm not sure if I should get the base model and upgrade the ram, or stick with the 2nd level model with no upgrades (I don't want to go over $1500.00 before taxes. My current model only has 1GB of memory, and i've never had an issue with it, so I'm thinking 16GB would be quite a significant difference - am I right? If I go with the 2nd model, the processer would be better but still only has 8GB of ram. My daily use of the computer is simply internet use, e-mail, iMovie, iDVD (which I know I won't have anymore), and iTunes. I don't play games but I guess the most powerful thing I use is iMovie (capturing video as well).
Any Suggestions? I'm not sure which model to go for.
Also, I currently use Time Machine to back up my computer to an external harddrive. I do not want my new computer to be a mirror image of the one I currently have. I only want iTunes and iPhoto to stay the same. How can this be done? Is it possible to use the same external hard drive for back up of the new computer also? I'd like to keep the old back up, and have a new one started for the new iMac. Will Time Machine simply start a new backup and leave the old folder as is? I'd like to keep it incase I ever want to get something from the old computer.
Thanks in advance!

8 GB of memory are enough for your uses, so you will have enough memory. Anyway, although Apple says that the Late 2012 21'5-inch iMac memory isn't replaceable, you can add more memory (it's difficult and you will void the warranty, but you can add memory) > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_21.5/DDR3L
When you want to restore a Time Machine backup, the Mac will ask you what you want to restore, so select only the folders you want to restore. For example, the iTunes library is stored in Music folder, so tick your Music folder, and iPhoto library is stored in Pictures folder, so tick the Pictures folder. You can unmark the rest of the folders.
Note that you will be running a new operating system, so Time Machine will have to make a full backup of your Mac with all changes from Leopard to OS X Mountain Lion (near everything of Mac OS X)

IDVD missing from new iMac

I would like to have iDVD on my new iMac. Where did it go? How do I find it and install?

Great UT link Klaus. I've added it to my "notes."

HT1175 I am trying to setup my Time capsule via a ethernet cable as a back up for a new iMac. The on button on the time capsule set up window keeps failing to stay on. Any ideas what to do?

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?). Not worth repairing.
If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt. So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect? For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor. Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter.
