HT204135 This is my first iMac. How come everything I print is in black and white? I have an HP Photosmart and it prints in color just fine except when I print using the iMac.

Unlike my other computers where I can change the printer setup ( color, black and white, paper type etc) I don't see that option on the iMac. Is it called somethng else? I want to retire my old computer but can't until I can print in color.

Thank you, I did that, after I click "show details" I see where I can change the paper size, reverse print etc. but I'm not seeing an option to swtich to color. On my HP and IBM PC's I can click on printer properties and change the print quality, paper type ( e.g.photo), grayscale and such. Do you by chance know if this is not an available feature on iMacs or maybe my printer isn't iMac friendly?

We just moved a couple of those CPUs the other day. Can you indicate your location with the name of a city near you? A user group might be nearby.

How do I enable TDM?
Make sure both computers are turned on and awake.
Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2.
How do I exit TDM?
To leave TDM, press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac that is in TDM. You can also exit TDM if you shutdown or sleep either computer or detach the cable.
Can I use a third-party keyboard or older Apple keyboard to enable TDM?
Some older Apple keyboards and keyboards not made by Apple may not allow Command-F2 to toggle display modes. You should use an aluminum wired or wireless Apple keyboard to toggle TDM on and

The Adobe auto updater is pretty decent in CS6. Just go to the Photoshop Help menu > Updates.
You will be able to update ACR, Photoshop and Bridge right there, if there are in fact updates available.

Fan comes on when I turn on the iMac

When I turn on the iMac, a fan comes on. It doesn't turn off. What does this mean

It might mean a lot of things: from a damaged sensor to a SMC problem. First, try resetting the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 This should solve the problem if it's related to a problem with SMC settings.
If it doesn't work, it's possible that a sensor is damaged. To make sure of it, run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US After starting in Apple Hardware Test, choose your language, mark the option to use extended mode (important) and start the test. If you see an error at the end of the test, copy it here

Is there a way to use the imac as a viewer for my Nikon Camera?

After I hook up my camera to the Imac, Aperture launches. Instead, I'd like to just use the Imac to view the photos that are on the SD card inside my camera. That way, I can easily delete the photos I don't want to waste hard drive space on. I could do minor cropping from inside the camera before saving the files to Aperture. And, Photostream wouldn't pick up all those photos I didin't want to save in the first place had I moved them all over to Aperture and just viewed it with the card. I want the imac to operate as a live monitor so I can view the photos on the SD card inside the camera. Any thoughts?? Just like you can using a TV that has the right inputs.

If your Nikon camera supports it, you can do what you want with Nikon's software.

When connecting Macbook Air to iMac, have to keep Macbook Air open in order to use the iMac as a display.

When I connect my Macbook Air to my iMac with Thunderbolt, I have to keep my Macbook Air open or else the iMac does not sense it. I've tried closing it to just use the iMac as the display, but then the iMac goes back to its regular screen. Also, I have to control everything from the MBA keyboard and touchpad- my iMac mouse and keyboard suddenly won't work. How do I fix this?

Hi there,
Apple outline the steps to do so in the link I've posted below. If you need help with any of them, just shout.

Can I use the iMac Screen as an external screen for a PC laptop ?

I am unaware of any PCs that support connection via Target Display Mode. I have never tried it myself, so I don't know if it would work. All you can do is try provided you have an iMac that supports TDM and the proper cable adaptors.

Using the iMac 27 screen with my macbook

Hi there,
My wife has a Macbook Air and I've just ordered a 27" iMac (Dec 2012 model). Is it possible for her to plug her Macbook Air into the iMac via thunderbolt and use the larger display for the Macbook Air (much like you would with a thunderbolt display)?
Thanks for any help you can give

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It depends. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
You have ordered a Late 2012 iMac, that has got Thunderbolt ports. If your wife has got a Mid 2011 or newer MacBook Air, you can use your iMac as an external display for the MacBook Air, because the MacBook Air has got a Thunderbolt port. However, if it's an older MacBook Air, you won't be able to use it because you can't connect a MacBook Air with Mini DisplayPort into another Mac with Thunderbolt to be used as a display.
If your wife has got a MacBook Air with a Thunderbolt port, just buy a Thunderbolt cable like this one and follow the steps of my link above to set up your iMac as a display.
If the MacBook Air has got Mini DisplayPort, you can still use the iMac as a display if you install a VNC client as ScreenRecycler on both computers. This application uses your network to use your iMac as a display for the MacBook Air and it works great, but it completely depends of the network

Requirements to Make a Windows PC Use the iMac?

Hi. There are many that have great graphics, tweakable (mod and such) games on the PC now; until extreme gaming GPU grade thunderbolt external boxes come, If you want to assemble a very powerful Windows 7 64-bit but minimal (no case, no drive, it may just be integrated onto/into the table) PC and use the iMac with it's nice LED LCD as your monitor to max out the games' resolution so you can see the graphics in all its glory while your Apple Wireless Keyboard and mouse (nothing intense, it's more for the graphics) to relax and explore the game after a hard day's work with option to use 3D glasses (the depth/3D will done by the card and software for sure) to make the games even more immersive and thus more relaxing- what hardware and software would you need?
Thank you.

2011 ThunderBolt iMac only accept other ThunderBolt Macs as source.
The Intensity Extreme http://www.blackmagic-design.com/uk/products/intensity/ might be helpful once it is released.
For the 2009 and 2010 27" iMacs there is the Kanex XD http://www.kanexlive.com/xd but it is not compatible with ThunderBolt iMacs as Kanex states in their Product FAQs.
Plus it maxes out with 720p input with the iMacs.

3D Shutter Glasses for Boot Camp Win 7 Using the iMac i7?

Hello. I've tried anaglyph 3D gaming but do you have any recommendations on an affordable but good 3D shutter glasses that'll work great on the iMac's screen (i7 late 2009, 8GB). I plan to play games on it using Windows 7 64-bit. Other recommendations are welcome. Thank you in advance.

You may be seeing one aspect of the USB ports problem that some of us see: inability to see some USB printers at all, problem in working with the USB device for many minutes, and disabled USB services within virtual machines on a Boot Camp Windows host (VMware software not fully functional because of USB controller not quite right).
See this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2411685&start=0&tstart=0
It looks like problems with the USB host controller, and it shows up for devices that run software to check the ports before trying to use them. I hope Apple eventually acknowledges the problem (going on since April at least) and fixes the firmware and/or Boot Camp drivers.
