Will my imac (110v) work in a country with 220v if I use a voltage transformer?
It does not need a transformer. The transformer is built in to the iMac. It accepts 100-240v AC, 50-60Hz input (which covers most of the world).
All you need is an adapter to fit your US power lead's plug to whatever outlet socket type is used at your destination. That is just an inert, pass-through pin adapter. No transformer. -
can someone help me ? My iMac remote control isn't working properly , well all buttons are working apart from the MENU button !! Can anyone shed any light on this ?
As this is the forum for PPC (pre-2006, non Intel) iMacs I assume that is what you have.
Try pairing the remote again:

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times. I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
Any help would be very much appreciated.Linc Davis,
I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account. I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa. I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync". I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP? I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
Thanks -
My iMac wouldn't turn on. This has happened out of nowhere, it was working really well before. checked my power cord and outlets everything's fine. The iMac has no power at all. no sound or anything, completely dead. It is only 1 year and 2 mos old. Any idea what it could be?
I have purposely been ignoring your responses to my posts about the heat issues in the newer design iMacs, but if you want really want to ague the point...
First, the iMac is marketed as a desktop model Mac. Not a laptop or MacBook.
I have never owned a MacBook, so I can't attest to how much heat the MacBooks generate.
I Have two iMac models. A 2009, 27 inch screen iMac for myself. And a 2010, 21.5 inch screen iMac for my Fiancée.
As a desktop Mac these are hottest running desktop Macs I have ever owned. Period. I owned two beige Macs, a pre-G3 tower, aG3 desktop, a G4 MDD Tower, the original iMac, eMac, iMac G4 and now my current iMacs.
None of my previous Macs have ever, EVER ran this hot. I have never, also, had any component failures in any of the previous Macs I have owned, either. All of my Macs have been upgraded or modded to some degree over the years. About 2 years ago I had to press my old G3 back into service. Both my G3 and G4 models have been heavily modded. The G3 ran without issue for a close friend for over a year until that friend went out a got a Mac Mini.
That's a 1996-97 Mac my friend. And it still is in working order and hasn't had any failures.
The fact I am pointing out here is that heat is an enemy to electronic components.
Whether desktop iMac or MacBooks, tightly packed enclosures of heat generating computer components with fans that do not run fast enough at most times to cool off the interior or exterior, will and does slow roast computer components to premature failure.
I do not know how frequent component failure is in the MacBook line up. So I can't attest to those.
I do not participate in those forums.
This is why at some point in computer history, Super Conputers were liquid cooled. PowerMac G5 systems were liquid cooled because they ran too hot!
I have taken my own precautions to keep my iMacs' heat down as much as possible.
I don't have the money to keep buying a new Mac every 3-5 years when some catastrophic failure happens.
I had to purchase my iMacs used as I couldn't afford the cost of a new iMac with the specs I needed.
My idea, your idea and Apple's idea of acceptable operating temps we can argue all day long.
I feel, personally, that the operating temps are too high and exacerbate operational issues.
I Have been participating in these particular iMac forums for just over a year and have seen plenty of posts of iMac component failures due to both heat and dust, dirt issues from within the iMac.
There can be no other reason for all of these failures. The SuperDrive is, usually, the first to go bad.
It's probably due more to its vertical mounting, but the excessive interior heat isn't helping it.
Next to fail is the GPU. The last to fail, but the most expensive to fix, the Logic Board.
I Have seen plenty of posts in my last year here of all of these failures in iMac less than 5 years old and ,perhaps, a little older. 2008 model iMacs seem to have their issues, too!
Apple is focusing too much on design and aesthetics, rather than longevity of their products, I feel now.
A Mac isn't going to last 7- 10 years anymore.
I don't have stats and numbers. Just common sense.
This is my story and I am sticking to it. For what it's worth. -
Moving to Chile in a week, need to know if my 27'' iMac will work on 220V automatically
Hi guys!
I'm graduating today from college! and I'm moving to Chile in just a week and a half to work. I have a 27'' iMac that I bought last year but I don't know if it will work there because of the voltage difference. Does anyone know for sure how this works? Of course when I've gone down there my Macbook hasn't had any problems because the charger converts the power, but I don't know if the iMac has the same capability or if I'll have to buy a converter in Chile.
Please let me know!The iMac will work on the electricity supplied to the wall. You just may need a different shaped prong to plug into the wall. Check the specs at Apple's web site.

I have an iMac for work and I am leaving the company. How do I clear the computer so that my soon to be former company is unable to see my personal information Ie. - internet, contacts, etc...
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
side.
4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
sure to opt for that.
Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
4. Install OS X.
5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
6. Shutdown the computer.
B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
it is three times faster than wireless.
1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
Utilities window appears.
2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License. -
Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there? When called by the Imac (newest), the "accept" or "reject" radio button appears for me to click and connect. On my wife's Ipad the two radio buttons always appear when a call actiivates Facetime and comes on?
There is nothing I can find in "Preferences" in Facetime to turn that on or off. I suspect it has to do with having a more current operating system; that the "controls" are in the operating system? [I'm guessing] It's frustrating getting Facebook calls from several friends on Ipads! Any ideas...VFPI suspect it has to do with not having a more current operating system
Exactly, what Apple is doing is leveraging new features only on newer OS X versions to force you to upgrade OS X to 10.7 or later.
What they don't tell you is 10.7 or later will NOT run your PowerPC based software, some of it you can't get Intel versions like for perfectly working printers, scanners and games etc. So it can be a very expensive OS X upgrade to 10.7 or later with third party software.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also they don't tell you is the risk in bricking your machine if the update goes badly, so you have to have AppleCare in case that occurs so it's on them to fix it. Else your paying money to replace the logicboard or buying a new machine prematurely.
A four year old machine can't have AppleCare, it's only good for 3 years from date of purchase new.
Your machine came with a boot hard drive, it's usually got about 4-5 years of life on it, then it needs to be replaced.
Also they don't tell you the newer OS X version has more abilities and features that causes your machine to slow down in performance, especially on older machines.
Also they implement new, idotic and extremely fustrating new user interface features in a arbitrary "you take it or leave it" manner with little or no fall back method.
So upgrading OS X is a gamble on older machines that otherwise would likely work perfectly fine for the next 5 years if one didn't need to have to mess with it.
Since Snow Leopard has slightly over 25% OS X version market share, your still good for security updates etc for the next few years if you just want to stay where your at and be happy.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
The Lions are, well, not so welcome due to Scott Forstall retard UI issues, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is likely going to fix things a bit better.
But basically what is occuring is Apple is trying to force a faster hardware upgrade cycle with the more expensive products by leveraging features on the smaller devices that expire sooner.
Apple is a hardware company that leverages whatever it can to get you to buy more hardware, it's why they are as rich as they are. -
Will a iMac G5 work to run Logic 8 smoothly?
I am looking to buy an iMac soley to run Logic. I am using Logic 7 right now but will probably upgrade in the next 6 mo. I am trying to make the most cost efficient decision... as much as I would like to get a brand new iMac it seems like it may make sense to go ahead and get something cheaper if it can run logic smoothly. As I mentioned, the only thing I will be doing is running logic on the machine... will a iMac G5 work? I was thinking about getting a 2.0Ghz + processor and then probably upgrading the RAM. Any and all feedback is very much appreciated, thanks!
Well for one thing, I don't think the OP will have much luck trying to add UAD cards to an imac, seeing as there's no option for PCI cards.. Secondly, an imac G5 vs a G5 tower isn't a fair comparison given that the imac G5s were only single core vs dual core or more, so a lot slower where it counts.
To the OP: "running logic smoothly" can mean a lot of things. If you want better advice, you should give an outline of what you expect to do with logic. For example, if you just want to do basic multitracking, recording guitar/vocals etc, and use a small handful of software synths, then you'd probably be OK. But if you're expecting to be able to make extensive use of all of the plug ins and software synths that come with logic, and any other AU ones you might have, then I'd say forget about it. Any current model intel mac, or a second hand intel mac from the past 2 years or so will be a much much smarter move. -
My imac screen works fine but it keeps flikering and freezing whats wrong with it
my imac screen works fine but it keeps flikering and freezing whats wrong with it? theres no crack or problem with it it just freeze's ande flikers
It sounds as if your graphics chip (on the logic board) is failing. The other answer could be that your screen is not well, but I lean more towards the graphics chip. If you have Apple care or are still under warranty, call Apple.

Does new iMac i7 handle Logic well??
Hi all. Time for me to upgrade computers. Currently doing all my producing/recording/editing on my 2.2GHz MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM. The new 27" iMac i7 seems like a perfect fit...can't afford a Mac Pro but can still squeeze 16BG of RAM in there and hopefully utilize the four cores. I know that a couple years back people were complaining that while using iMacs for work with Logic they often made tons of fan noise. Is this still a problem?? Do they also still tend to overheat as well? Any feedback before I make a big purchase is much appreciated. Thank you!!
I don't know about heat or noise but Logic performance on the i7 is very good.

Connect to VPN but not my iMac at work
Hi all,
Very frustrating problem here. When I'm at home using my MacBook Pro, I can connect to the Cisco VPN at work and log into SMB servers. I can also log in to AFP servers. But I want to be able to control my iMac at work because sometimes I need files on that hard drive. And I can't see any macs! When I bring my MBP to work and am on the network, I can control my iMac and see all of the other macs under the "Shared" section of the Finder sidebar.
Here's my setup at home.
MBP: running 10.6.8 using built-in VPN. Tried to connect using "Screen Sharing," which works at work. IT gave me ARD 3.5.1. Still doesn't work.
Home Router: Airport Extreme Base Station (dual-band model, but I can't remember the model #). The firmware is current. Using Airport Utility, I have Port Mapping set up for ARD service (automatically does stuff for ports 3283 and 5900, but I don't know what the numbers mean).
I use a Comcast Cable Modem to connect to the Internet.
This thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/3144943#3144943 said I should "configure the AEBS so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED." It is obviously talking about an older version of Airport utility, but when I go to my AU > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing drop-down menu, I see three options: Share a public IP address (selected), Distribute a range of IP addresses, and Off (Bridge Mode). I am not using my AEBS as a bridge, so I think that's configured correctly.
Since I can control my iMac from my MBP over the wireless network at work, and I can make a VPN connection from home and log onto SMB and AFP servers at work, I suspect there is something wrong with my AEBS setup that's blocking something to do with Screen Sharing. Any ideas? I've even tried turning off the OS X firewall and still didn't have any luck.Using Airport Utility, I have Port Mapping set up for ARD service (automatically does stuff for ports 3283 and 5900, but I don't know what the numbers mean).
FYI. Port 3283 is used by the Net Assistant function of the ARD (Apple Remote Desktop) service. Port 5900 is used by both ARD or a VNC server, like Screen Sharing in OS X. Note: When you enable Screen Sharing within the Sharing panel in System Preferences, you are basically turning on the Mac's VNC server service. You would then access this server via a VNC client ... like another Mac or from a PC that has a VNC client installed.

Actually, it is somewhat backwards of this. It's NOT your router that needs to have port mapping configured; it would be your work's router instead. The only reason you would configure yours is if you were attempting to access a computer on your home's local network from the work (or anywhere else from the Internet).
Since you already got ARD from your work's IT guys, they should be able to help you configure Screen Sharing, running on a work computer, to be accessible via a VPN tunnel from your home's network. -
So far I have pulled the system configuration file, I have reset safari, I deleted all old passwords from the wifi network in Keychain I restarted both devices. I am at the end here and I cannot get it to work I have an iMac that works fine with my network but for some reason this computer will not connect. It is system wide specifically to my personal hotspot. I can connect fine to any other network (wifi) but just not mine. I have not changed any wifi settings. I have been trying to figure this out. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2006 model running Lion (10.7.5) So any ideas anyone? Please help!
12. At a WiFi hotspot, you can't get connected. The most frequent reason is the login screen for the WiFi hotspot is only able to be connected with a single type of browser. If Safari doesn't work, try Firefox, Chrome, Omniweb, or Opera.

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?
It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things. By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files. I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule. The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac. That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.
