I'm setting up my new iMac and need digital audio out.

I'm running a top spec iMac with AVID and FCP. I need to export the audio to my amp as a digital signal. How can I do this???

If it''s got a optical out on the computer and your amp has optical in then you should just be able to use a toslink-to-toslink cable to connect them and set your sound output preferences to digital out.
If your imac has a 3.5 mm audio/optical combo-jacks then you need a toslink-to-miniplug (toslink) cable.  Still set the sound out to digital out.

  • I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox.  On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox.  I can't remember how I set this up.  Any help?

    The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
    You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

    Hi
    I'm setting up my new imac and have migrated files from my old windows pc okay. the problem is that the migration utility created two different users for my music and my pictures. i want to combine all files under one user. any suggestions? (sorry, first time mac user). Cheers

    You have to decide to use one account. To move your data, you can use an USB drive or Shared folder

  • I've set up a new iMac and transferred my library.  Now, when I switch on iTunes Match it gets to about 25% on stage 1 and just stops working,  Anyone know how to fix this?

    I've set up a new iMac and transferred my library.  Now, when I switch on iTunes Match it gets to about 25% on stage 1 and just stops working,  Anyone know how to fix this?

    Ok, so the likely cause is 1 or more Songs are tripping up iTunes Match.  To resolve, move to Song view, switch on iCloud Status and iCloud Download fields - sort the view on iCloud Status - identify Songs with status other than Purchased, Matched or Uploaded.  Temporarily remove them from the library, allow iTunes Match to complete the 3-step process.  Gradually import the Songs back in - any that cause a repeat failure, place in a playlist, burn to audio CD and import as 256k AAC.
    Note:  iTunes Match service in UK at present is intermittant, may be worth trying from 1200 tomorrow to give Apple the chance to complete its current updates.

  • Bought a new iMac, and need to migrate all apps

    Hi all,
    I've been banging my head trying to work this one out and i think it's time i posted. Had a look around the forum and can't seem to find a solution.
    All my apps I've bought are on my Mac Mini and the ones I use are on my iPhone. I have recently bought an iMac (love it) and am in the process of moving everything over. I've done this manually rather than through Time Machine restore as a way to clean out years of memory hogging junk. How do I transfer my apps i've bought across to the new iMac?
    Thanks for your help.

    hi thanks for your help. Unfortunately that isn't going to work for me. My iTunes library was 'corrupted' for lack of a better word - on my AppleTV it was still showing podcasts that i had deleted. Also the folder structures for my library was a mess. I have over 3TB of media spread out over 5 external hard drives and I'm rebuilding the library. i've reimported all my music, movies, TV shows and podcasts (fixed the problem with my AppleTV) but now have an issue with getting my apps into the library.
    I had found the app files in Music > iTunes > Mobile Applications. I dragged and dropped them from the old computer into the new one, restarted iTunes but they still don't appear.
    Any other ideas?

  • IPhoto 08 Problems: Crashes on new iMac and library pix now out of focus

    I updated my Intel MacBook and all seems OK so far using the iLife 08 Family Pack I bought.
    On a new Intel iMac iPhoto 08 crashes frequently and library pix appear to have lost sharpness/focus. Obviously, the user for this iMac is not happy.
    1. Is the new "package" iPhoto file protocol responsible for this?
    2. If so, can anything be done?
    3. Would downgrading to previous version of iPhoto work if I exported all photos on that iMac and imported them into the previous version?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    How did you go about the Upgrade of the library? Can you give us any details abot when the crashes happen? On opening? On Editing? Randomly?
    Some basic troubleshooting:
    Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
    No the new Package protocol has nothing to do with this.
    Yes, downgrading would work.

  • I've ordered a new iMac, and need to install a ghost drive which ran Leopard...

    Recently my very old PowerBook G4 died, and before I replaced it with a new iMac the store offered to have my hard drive ghosted onto an external hard drive so I wouldn't lose my data and have to reinstall all my programs, which I accepted. The old laptop is now with the insurance company, and I have two hard drive copies - one ghost, one with the data I needed in the interim.
    If I put the ghost of the hard drive on my new iMac, will it backtrack my OS to Leopard and iLife '06, which is what I was running on the Powerbook?
    If so, can I re-upgrade it back to Snow Leopard and the iLife that the iMac currently ships with, with the OS X discs supplied in the box, or will I need to go out and purchase this software again, separately?

    This will not work because Mac's will not run earlier versions of OS X than they originally shipped with. I've never heard the term "Ghost Drive" you may wanto to ask the tech if they created a Bootable Clone. If they did then restoring everything from it is simple using Setup Assistant. This will move all the data, settings, apps etc from the old drive to the new machine. One huge advantage of SA is it will not migrate older apps to the new machine, meaning if your new machine has iLife 11 on it and the old drive has an earlier verison of iLife on it the newer version of iLife will remain on the new machine.
    You will need to start over though which is pretty easy, just use Setup Assistant tips beginning at "Second chance..." and follow the on-screen instructions.

  • New-BE help needed for audio out

    No matter what I try I can't seem to get audio to come out of FCE... The VU meter in the program shows there is signal present but no matter what I try (changing audio out in system prefs..) I hear no audio. I have a Digidesign 002 rack (I'm moving into video in a ProTools based audio studio) which is firewire. I use an ADVC-100 to import my video from various sources also firewire. If I switch to line out (in sys prefs) still nothing. I've had the program for 5 weeks and I cant use it.
    BTW I exported a lesson (Apple Pro Training Tutorial) and it played back in Quick time and the audio was fine.
    I'm at a loss.... and I'm starting to feel stoopid.....
    Dave
    FCE is the ONLY program that doesn't output the audio.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    Try this. From within FCE, select View>Video Out>Canvas Playback.

  • Bought a new iMac and need to download Adobe software programs

  • Set up of new iMac - need to sync existing iPhone & iPad but cannot

    I have set up a new iMac and cannot get any of my itunes backups to sync my iphone and ipad to the new mac. My iphone & ipad were all synced to my old windows laptop via itunes and everything synchronized - mail, calendar, music etc. Now I am setting up a new iMac and I signed up the itunes via iCloud. This has only set up anything purchased through itunes and about 90% of my music was not purchased through itunes so most of it is missing. So I have spoken to apple support on the phone and they guided me to transfer my old windows media to the new iMac using migration assistant. Unfortunately this wouldn't connect, so I am back to square one.
    So now I have manually moved all of my photos and music manually using an external hard drive - so that has taken over the largest amount of files to the new iMac but my issue still remains that nothing will sync to the new iMac. I am totally lost now and have no idea how to approach it.
    I tried to back up the iPad and iPhone to iCloud but even that won't happen - so basically everything is still syncing to my old windows laptop and nothing is syncing to my new iMac.
    Does anyone have any suggestions how to approach and where to start. I am based in Dubai and there is no apple store here so I can't even take it all in and just get it all sorted and I am not getting much help on the phone as the tech support is 9-5pm work days only and I am at work and not in front of the iMac to try any troubleshooting.
    Any suggestions are WELCOME!
    thanks,

    sign out of the itunes on the PC and then sign into the itunes on the ipad iphone and imac w/ the same apple id make sure that all 3 devices are authorized to the same apple id and then you should be able to start syncing the phone and pad to the imac.

  • HT204053 I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. SHould it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. Should it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Preferably your iTunes account, but it shouldn't really matter for getting homesharing turned on, as long as it's a valid ID.

    I recently got a new iMac and did the set up THEN I took it to the store to have my backup data loaded onto my new iMac from my old crashed iMac. Now I have 2 login accounts on my new iMac. The old one has my iTunes and iPhoto libraries and my new login is empty. Is it possible to move the libraries and the other data to my new login and delete the old one?

    I've done something a little different but have the same problem, sort of.  I had been with AT&T for years and had iphones but I switched to VZ wireless quite a while back and got a droid.  I just switched back and got the iphone 4S and was downloading apps from the phone having forgot I already had an iTunes account so I created another one. 
    After doing the above (which I'm not sure where to even start) is it possible to get all of the songs from my old account loaded onto my new phone (I haven't even attempted it yet because I don't know where to start)?

  • 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.
