This is my first Apple, and I was wondering if it yet considered necessary to have anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall protection for the Imac.?
I'm sure that all these programs are readily made for the Mac, but I just wanted to make sure.
Thanks in advance.

If you want to run parallels you will want to bump the RAM up to 2gb ..otherwise you will handicap your Mac when both OSs are running.
Anti-virus/spyware on a Mac? Yes, there are apps available if you are having problems getting rid of that PC habit. You currently don't need them though. Just turn on the built-in firewall and keep your browser and OS up to date.
Welcome to the Mac.

Can no longer order an iMac with wireless KB and mouse?

Hi,
I just figure out that when someone try to order the iMac, the only keyboard choice is wired. I think this disapear at the same time the wireless mighty mouse arrived.
Am I wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
I had this problem. The stores had them in a package with the wirelesss
keyboard and mouse but they were not available on-line. I had to order on-line to get some upgrades but could not have the wireless package...Catch 22.
So when I called in my order I complained that I could not effectively get what I wanted and without much pressure I was offered a discount if I bought the wireless keyboard and mouse as extra. They knocked off £50 sterling (I'm in the UK) from the total cost. So, for about £40 more (which was the extra cost of the wireless pack in the store) I got what I wanted. With the added bonus of having a spare wired mouse and keyboard which are currently still all wrapped up in their box.
I only placed my order on the 17th and receieved it last Friday so it should be a current deal. I hope it is not too late to help you out.
Cheers.

I have an iPhone in my name and my wife has an iPad in her name. We have just ordered an iMac and wondered which account we should use to get the best out of all the devices

I have an iPhone in my name and my wife has an iPad in her name. We have just ordered an iMac and wondered which account we should use to get the best out of all the devices? Can we use both accounts in iCloud?

Yes you can. However, it is better to use one person's account most of the time for purchases in the Mac App Store and iTunes since you can share purchases, such as songs, among various devices using the SAME account. You Cannot share purchases among different accounts, though. So make one of your accounts the main "purchasing" account so you can share purchases.
Hope this helps

I am ready to order my iphoto picture book, but I want to change the binding from wirebound to hardcover. Does anyone know how I can do that without losing my already assembled photo pages?

I am ready to order my iphoto picture book, but I want to change the binding from wirebound to hardcover. Does anyone know how I can do that without losing my already-assembled photo pages?

Yes - select the book and duplicate it (Command - D) in case of problems - open it and click change theme and select the theme and the new style of binding
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
then order after you have carefully checked the preview

Please let me know.
thanks

I would since it is more global than Verizon. AT&T works in more than 200 countries worldwide. Also talk to AT&T about an International Data Plan for it so your wireless statement will not be as high without it.

HT1349 How do I set up a speed dial on my iPhone 4s? I am used to the bberry where I just keep my finger on a number in order to dial. This is very useful in the car. How do I get the same effect on iPhone?

I found a post from Alope that told me exactly how to fix it.
Go to:
Settings - General - Restrictions - put your pass code in - Facetime - turn the switch to ON
Worked perfectly to stop the message that said, Not authorized to do that!

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?.

I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem. Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos? Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.

Unable to get Quick time movies to play on my imac. This is the error message I allways get.
"The document “4-20130701090400-7.mp4” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.You may need to install additional software to open this type of file."

Download and install VLC Player. It plays more formats and is free and highly regarded.

Error Message regarding Facetime: I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

The Beta version of Facetime is a free test/trial version that Apple placed on some computers in the past. It has expired -- to get a working Facetime version back you must go to the App store and purchase "Facetime for Mac" which will cost you 99 cents.

HT5313 How can I check if my iMac has this update? OS X Lion v10.7.5 Update

How can I check if my iMac has this update? OS X Lion v10.7.5 Update

It's not technically challenging, but it isn't clearly necessary. In any case here's how:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Numbers on my iOS devices have recently been updated but not on my iMac is this correct ?

Numbers on both our iPads and our iPhone were recently updated but there has been no update for our iMac is this correct ?

Yes, Apple updated the iWork Apps for iOS twice this month. The first Update added features just like the Mac Counterparts but the second Updatehas bugfixes and fixed perfomance issues.
Since the last Updates iWork finally runs fine on my iPad 3 :-)
