I just got a new imac and mail wont work.

The second I open it the pinwheel starts. I have to force quit it every time. I literally cannot do anything in it.

Hey guys i figured it out. I called support and they helped me.
Turn your wireless or any other internet connection off and restart your computer.
Make sure it is still off when it starts back up.
Open mail > file > preferences > accounts and remove the @me or mobile me email from the(by selecting the account and clicking on the little "-" button at the bottom.
Go into your system preferences into icloud and sign out then uncheck icloud from the mail preferences.
Restart your computer again
Turn on wifi/internet connection and open mail.
Everything should load better
Then add your icloud account back to mail if you need it and sign back into icloud.
Hope this helps because it helped me!!

Just got a new imac and my iwork software wont work. I have the serial numbers but after migrating from my old mac running OSX tiger it won't even give me that opportunity. I do not have any discs as this was downloaded. Help

Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
(I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
used to use AIM for this in windows
The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
iChat works well.
3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
flicker, but I could see it.
No idea.
4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
after 30 mins
You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
against them, but I am expecting this computer to
last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
as fast as Windows pc's.
It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
Thank you for any help,

My wife and I each have an iTunes account. We just got a new iMac, and we want to merge our accounts into the main machine and use them together on our iPhones and ipad2.

My wife and I each have an itunes account. We just got a new imac, and want to put all of our media on it. Can we share songs and media from two diffrent accounts on the imac, our iphones, and the ipad2?

Decide which device will be changing accounts. On that device, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll that you want to keep on the device, save them to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to delete any data that you don't want in each account (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa) you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

I just got a new Imac, and downloaded files from my old PC. Now, when I go to Finder, I have 1500 files in an area called developer. What is this, and can they be deleted? There are also 78 files listed as Other! Most of these files I do not recognize.

I just got a new IMac, and tried to download files from my old PC. When I go to,Finder, I have 1500 files under Developer, an 78 files under Other.
Most of these files I do not recognize. Can they be trashed? Why did they transfer? I used a flash drive for the transfer. Also, is there a way to transfer my older email files to this new computer?
Thanks for any and all help, I really need it.
Tom

Did you use the Migration Assistant to help set up the new iMac using some of the files in the older PC? Some likely won't mean much, unless you have applications that can use or convert them. There's also a way to use the software Time Machine to import data files from an external or another computer, so you may have used that, too.
Hopefully someone with experience in a similar issue will reply...
Good luck & happy computing!

If you do not have access to your old PC/Laptop and therefore cannot transfer your iTunes library, this document is very useful https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Just got a new imac and it works great

Just got my imac week 00 and it works great. have not seen one flickero or yellow tinge issue. The hard drive is a segate and it is very quiet. I just love the computer.
P.S. what should my first piece of software for it be?

Hi, B I G congrats, Yes Apple do get in right!
I would invest in an external HD (highest capacity you can afford) - TM BackUp.
I use SuperDuper & Onyx which I find excellent, but ONLY you know what type of App you want/need.

For something like Office - I use Bean:-http://www.bean-osx.com/
If you are new to Macs you may well have lots of ?'s .. run your Mac as it is until you are happy with the unit, then add. The Repair Permissions facility (Applications-Utilities-Disk Utility) is a useful tool, when I first went over to Macs I was told, Repair Permissions Before & After ALL Updates..
I also follow that rule after installing new Apps...L

I just got my new iMac, and when going to iTunes, cannot find my library,etc.

Can you help me find my iTunes library and account on my new iMac?

Your library will ONLY be where you put it. It will not magically appear anywhere.
Have you copied to from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer?
You can sign into your account from any computer with itunes. This has nothing to do with your library. Your library resides on your computer and you have to move/copy it wherever you want it.

Just got a new IMac and can't get past the welcome screen?

I'm trying to set up new iMac. Can't get past welcome screen!!

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Just got a new iphone and it wont connect so I can restore all my apps etc.. tried different cords and outlets but no good ..

Just got a replacement iphone 4 and it wont connect to itunes for me to restore things. It started to sync but then itunes froze so once I tried to connect it wouldnt do it .I tried new cords, new outlets, and new computer but nothing.. ahhhhh less stress when I had no phone i think ... help

Try unchecking the "Encrypt backup" checkbox. You will still have to enter a password, but you can go through a lot of passwords faster this way. If you ever had a corporate Ms Exchange account try your old domain passwords. Also try familiar passwords all lower case.
Finally, there is a professional password cracker that is made primarily for the law enforcement market by Elcomsoft. It will always be able to find your password, but it may take years to do it if you had a really good password. You can give it a list of passwords that you have used, however, and it will try variations on them, as well as dictionary searches. It's expensive, but there is a trial version that will give you the first two characters of your password.

I just got a new macbook, and airport wont connect to my internet.

when i try to connect to my wireless internet, i put in the correct password, and my macbook says "connecting to network", but right after it says "network time out". i have tried taking off the password and it still does not connect. i have tried plugging in the ethernet cord and that seems to work, but it wont connect through airport.
can someone please help.

Omar 182 and Freeky Geek,
I hate to ask you to give more money to apple but I suggest you try an Airport Express.
I bought one today, brought it home, disabled my DSL modem's wireless, plugged in the Airport Express and connected an Enet cable from the DSL modem to APE.
Using the Airport Utility I downloaded the latest APE SW version; configured my wireless network with WPA2 security and had my MacBook AND Lenovo T60 working off the Internet in no time (OK, less than an hour).
In the past 5-6 years I have bought and configured 3 (or 4?) Linksys wireless routers and it has never been this straight forward.
If you can spare the $100(US) I recommend it,
Carson

I just got a new iMac and quicktime is acting weird

Movie files from the internet are downloading to the desktop before they play and if it is a wmv file it just opens text edit and shows jibberish.
on my macbook it opens a quicktime window and downloads to that and plays there, or in the webpage in an imbedded player.
how do i go back to playing in an imbedded or a quicktime player window instead of default downloading?
O and i almost forgot, im already downloading flip 4 mac to solve the wmv problem
Message was edited by: John Novi

Hi John....glad you figured it out. I found that F4M works for most wmv content, but there are a few other items you might want to have in your video toolkit. Occasionally, content providers will offer up variations on the wmv theme and these things may help:
VLC
Perian
Streamclip

Hi I have just purchased a new iMac and I am trying to move my iTunes files into iTunes on the iMac. I have got as far as pasting the music folder from my pc onto the desktop of my iMac. How do I now put this folder into my iTunes?

I have just purchased a new iMac and this is all new to me as it is so different from my PC. I am trying to transfer my iTunes from my PC onto the iMac, I have got as far as pasting the itunes music folder onto the desktop but I cant seem to transfer that into iTunes on my iMac. Can anyone help me out with this?

See iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
BTW this list os for discussing the list itself. You'll get better response to questiosn you post if you post them to the correct list. I'll ask to have this moved to the iTunes list.

I just got a new imac, App store says I downloaded garageband update and it says it's installed. But there's nothing new to it. Is there something I'm suppose to do? I restarted the imac, no difference

Weird, that's not the one I was initially downloading but I think that is the one that installed, so I think that solves that. But now the problem is that the one I was updating is no longer being shown. It's over 1gb that had all the loops and instruments.
Now when I try to use say strings lunar strings. It tells me to download at app store. It doesn't show. I go back to garageband try again and says the instrument or loop is currently being installed. But it's not.

I just got a new iMac. And I wondered if I can. Use my yamaha speaker system with subwoofer?

I just got a new Iimac and I wondered if I can use my speaker system from my last pc, the speakers are yamahas with a powered subwoofer ?

If your presumably "amplified" Yamaha speakers have a USB connection, then it should work fine with your iMac by connecting the USB connection and THEN going into your Mac's Applications folder>System Preferences>Sound>select the "Output" tab and select the Yamaha speakers shown in the list below. That should do it.
Hope this helps

How did you get your songs onto your iPod Touch?
If purchase directly from iTunes you can download them again.
If your iPod is synced to iTunes on a Windows PC, then, sync your iPod to that computer.
If this is your first Mac, are you migrating from a Windows PC?
