I have a mid 2011 iMac with 2 thunderbolt ports that I have never been able to get to work.

I purchased two Segate adapters and drives but if I can get them to run at all they will eventually freeze up the computer and I will have to reboot. I just tried them again today and the computer does not even see them. Has anyone else had this problem and did you get it resolved. I took it to the Apple store once and as you would know after a system reset it worked I took it home and within an houre it froze up the system and I have not gotten it to work since.

Take it back to the Apple Store and leave it there so that they can check it out for a couple of days at least with the disks.

How do I use my late 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output.

May be this question has been asked thousand times. how do I use my mid 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output. if apple hasn't removed that feature and has just moved that functinoality to thunderbolt then how can I use it. currently there is no laptop available with thunderbolt output. no 3rd party converter available. whats the use of having feature on latest functionality if we cant use it. I wish they would have made one port has mini-dvi and other thunderbolt for backward compatibility untill some vendor comes up with converter.

It Says :
Mac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and later computers support Target Display Mode via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2 m) when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
Name one computer model/vendor which has thunderbolt as output for display + audio. this is so stupid to move to new technology without availbility of its compatible devices.

27" Cinema display goes black, connected to Mid 2011 iMac w/thunderbolt connections.

I bought a used 27" Cinema Display (A1316) and had it connected to my Mid 2011 iMac with thunderbolt connections. The screen goes black but I can still get audio through its speakers. Do I need to replace the cable bundle? Help please!

Hi levifromhenderson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like trouble with an external display. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?

Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

Hi Fid
Your mac is fine but you need OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or newer and your profile says you have OS X 10.7.5 Lion. You need to get ML as a purchase from the app store as mirror is a new feature with that OS.
The alternative is a third party app called airparrot.

My Mid-2011 iMac with pre-installed Lion can't load AHT (Apple Hardware Test) over internet

I have a Mid-2011 iMac (3.4GHz) of which Apple's Support document for the Apple Hardware Test (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509) says:
Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT.
Well, this doesn't work for me. My Mac is on a DHCP-supporting router which has constant internet connection. Yet, when I turn off the Mac and then on again, holding the D key down even before the screen turns on, the Mac does indeed react to this key as it's then turning the screen on and taking another about half minute before it continues with the boot process along with showing the Mac symbol. Without the D, the Mac symbol comes up quickly.
So, it appears that the iMac is indeed trying to get AHT over the internet. Just that it doesn't succeed in it, and probably timing out after a while.
Any suggestions how to fix this?

Re
extract from kb article
PPPoE (where there is no router handling the PPPoE connection)
No
No
Captive-Networks (where you click an "Agree" button to access the Internet)
Yes
No
Proxies (where specific proxy servers must be configured in network preferences)
No
No
Certificate-based authentication / 802.1x
No
No
try check if you are in that case for your internet acces ?
could be a firewall problem too , if is possible try desable firewall ( or any internet filter )
no you can not see a wifi selection if you are wired ( using cable )
by the way D key for AHT need to be pressed AFTER start up sound , and hold at min one minute

Where did 30GB of unused space on my SSD main drive go? I have a mid 2011 iMac that until yesterday had just 54GB of space occupied on the primary drive. I imported 45 minutes of video from an SD card. Could that have used up the space?

I added an SSD to my 27" 2011 iMac. Although Sahidus is absolutely correct, it is much easier to add an SSD replacing the optical drive, it wasn't that bad to add it using an entirely seperate cable using SATA-III. To me it is worth the extra hassle to install a SATA-III SSD. This is where you are going to get maximum performance.
Although it appears complicated, if you go slow, the procedure to install an SSD drive isn't too bad. It takes at most 3 hours, as long as you are prepared and have all the parts and tools.

This describes how I did it. Now I get awesome data performance from my iMac!
I think the 21.5" may be more difficult to find where to place the SSD. But im sure it is possible. Just be creative.

You did not look at Mountain Lion's Tech Spec's, click www.apple.com/osx and click the Tech Specs tab. That information has been posted for months.

[CS3] I have never been able to get this right: Batch/Droplet and output file naming??????

Hi,
The situation:
I need to convert a folder of PDF's to PNG format.
My process:
I create an action by recording my "actions" based on one of the said PDF's.
Problem:
When batching and/or processing via a droplet (created from action I created from above), the output file name is ALWAYS the EXACT name of the file I used when I created my action!!! Why? I have tried everything... Why is it so hard for Photoshop to batch a file and use the file name of the current file being batched (and not the name of the original file that the action was created from)???
Please help!
I feel like such a dunce... I am sure the answer is staring me right in the face.
Many thanks in advance!!!
Cheers,
Micky

Hi Conrad!
Thanks for the help, I greatly appreciate your time. :)
Sorry for my delayed reply.
I never touched the file name for the save as dialog box.
I have use PS for many years, and I have never been able to get the file name to stay the same as the file being processed. :(
My boss even, he is a beta tester of future versions of Adobe products, and he could not get it to work...
It only worked for me/us when appending a digit to the end of the file name. Not an optimal solution, but it works. ;)
@Foot, I am glad this thread was helpful! :D
Have a great day all!
Cheers,
Micky

HT1522 I have a mid 2011 iMac running Lion, and the remote seems not to work at all!

Have been trying to pair my Apple Remote with my mid 2011 imac.
Nothing doing, although if I go and try same remote with an older macbook, it works fine.Battery all fine too, have been checking via digital camera. Something on my iMac is preventing this remote form being seen (and yes I have disabled ir receiving on the laptom after testing it)
any ideas?
thanks for your time!!

I'm pretty sure i have the most recent software on my iphone. however, i've never been able to sync my notes from the iphone to my laptop. under the info tab on my iphone, when it

i dont even know if im in the right community.
anyway, the thing im having trouble with is syncing my notes. im pretty sure i have the most recent software for the iphone 3, i think. however, i've never been able to sync notes from the iphone to my laptop. i havent even had the option before. i do now, but on the info tab for my iphone, the one that pops up when it's plugged into the laptop, it has the option to check the box next to sync notes with... however, there's nothing on the drop down menu, so even with the sync notes with.. option selected, nothing happens.
i have 350+ notes, so emailing them to myself is out of the question. any help would be much appreciated!!

I deauthorized and then reauthorized my iTunes and this seems to have done the trick!

Have not been able to get flash working since upgrading to 7.0.1, using the Debian Linux OS.

I haven't been able to get the flash player working since upgrading to FF 7.0.1 on Debian Linux. I have followed the instructions in "How do I install the Flash plugin?" (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/installing-flash) multiple times.
As I said this has been an issue since the latest upgrade. I was able to get flash working in earlier versions. Flash works in the Debian "Iceweasel" version of FF.

Thanks for the post, but no, that did not fix the problem.
I have located these directories:
/opt/firefox/plugins
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
of course there is the /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree directory but that shouldn't matter for FF itself.
Still not working and I get this message on the "Check you plugins" page:
"For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please ''upgrade to the latest version.''"
The version on that page "Adobe Flash Player version 11.0.1.152
Your system: Linux 64-bit, Firefox" is the version I'm using.

Can I use my mid 2011 iMac with an Xbox 360?

Hello all, I have been unable to find a definative answer to this question so thought it best to ask here. Question being can I connect an Xbox 360 to my mid 2011 21.5 iMac and use it as a monitor for gaming? If this is possible, could you tell me how seeing as the iMac doesn't have a hdmi input?
Help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

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.
2011 ThunderBolt iMac only accept other ThunderBolt Macs as source.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Thunderbolt/10.6/en/30822.html
The Intensity Extreme http://www.blackmagic-design.com/uk/products/intensity/ might be what you need once it is released.

Have never been able to get ichat to connect to msn

have tried all the tutorials out there, but every msn transport i have tried just says registration succeeded and then never returns my contacts.. not sure if it is because i am using a messengeruser.com account, or what. adium works great but would love to be able to use ichat.

Okay so it sounds like the issue is with the jabber server. I have never fully done this, as I swear off MSN, but I am quite familiar with the jabber process.
Have you tried logging into the jabber account in iChat? Do the yahoo accounts show up and not MSN? Perhaps the jabber server will not display all the msn contacts, but it will display them in iChat.
EDIT: Darrin, also I believe you can add any other Jabber service's accounts to any other Jabber account. Some info here... (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060918092954170). I know the gtalk is super easy to set up in iChat, maybe you want to try that and add your msn contacts to that. Though I suppose that is a pain to re-add people...
