IMac 2007/2008 Replacement Power Lead

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy replacement power supply leads that are longer than the one shipped with the iMac. I have mine on a cantilever wall mount set up as a HT, and could use the some extra length (no pun intended). thanks in advance (i've tried google to no avail)

I'm not sure what type of connector you use but here in the UK there's just generic 3 pin kettle leads with a fancy bit to make them easy to pull out, essentially you can use any generic PC/kettle lead connector if it's the same where you live.

My 24" iMac (2007/2008) display is "going yellow"...what needs replacing?

Everything else is working fine. There appears to be "wave of yellow" in the display and limited brightness...
I do a lot of graphics work, and this is distracting...
How do I get it back to a nice, clean crisp white display? What needs replacing? Video card?
Thanks for any help/direction,
Sunny

Yes, I tried doing all those normal things.
If someone was not used to this computer they might not have noticed although it certainly does not "pop"
I noticed it being dingy as soon as I turned it on and I also have another 24" next to it. There is a big difference.
I suspect the seller was getting rid of a leon.

Anybody, here has a "2007-2008 model" - iMac C2D with an ATI Radeon HD 2600, who can RUN FCP X?

Office 2008 or Office 2011 on iMac 2007 running Snow Leopard

Hi iMac Folks
My iMac Mid 2007 has 4GB RAM and is running Snow Leopard on a 250 GB partition, the another 250 GB partition is purely for Time Machine backup. I also got both Office 2008 and Office 2011.
From the perspectives of performance, stability and compatibility, which version of Office is the best choice for this old iMac?
I currely have a Mac Pro running Office 2011, can Office 2008 open 2011's files without any difficulty or problem?
Cost is not an issue here, as I have already owned both copies, each has three licenses. However, in terms of cost, if possible, I prefer using Office 2008 as this way I can keep more Office 2011 licenses for new Macs, if any.
Any comments are welcome.
Kind regards
B

2008.
I currely have a Mac Pro running Office 2011, can Office 2008 open 2011's files without any difficulty or problem?
Yes. Both use the standard .docx and are backwards compatible with older (pre 2007) .doc files.

My screen has gone blank on startup and occasionally a grey folder with a question mark appears. I have tried rebooting either by pressing the start up with power or pram.. Neither attempts have worked ! My iMac is 2008. Please help :)

Replacement power adapter for 2008 MacBook Pro

Does anybody know if you can get a replacement power adaptor for the 2008 MacBook Pro. Mine crapped out and I'm freaking because the one they have for sale does not look like it will work, help PLEASE!!!!

If I think I know what your saying, it sounds like the store only had the Magsafe 2 connectors for the new model Macbook Pro's. The good news is yes stores still sell both Magsafe 1 and Magsafe 2 adapters. My advice would be to just take your adapter into the store and show the sales person what you need.

Power consumption of the iMac 2007

Hello!
I found at this website: http://www.apple.com/environment/reports/ the reports also for older models of the iMac, but not for mine.
Can someone eventual tell me the power consumption of the iMac 2007 24" in standby- ond off-mode? Or is there an older report from Apple available somewhere?
Best Regards!

It's going to fall somewhere between the idle of 92W and the maximum of 310W. I would aim at around 210-230W.
I run mine on a APC 1500 pro which provides about 15 minutes at 400W. I have other devices on it as well.
I would think at a minimum something like below. This would only provide about 8 Minutes at 300W

Just bought an ipad 3 and the power lead has been damaged - please advise replacement details

Need a new ipad 3 power lead - please advise what the replacement part is called?
Thanks

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Reset the SMC and PRAM. If it doesn't work, boot in safe mode -Mayús button during boot- and do your normal activity

Display freezes using Safari 5.1 after Mac OS 10.74 install - iMac (early 2008)

After installing Mac OS X 10.7.4 on a 24-inch iMac (Early 2008), experiencing display anomalies and freezes, while using Safari and web-based e-mail.
Screen will go all white, system will lock up, requiring power-off restart. Latest incident while using Safari -- display went green with vertical blue stripes, system hang, requiring power-off restart.
System details: Intel iMac, 24" (Early 2008), 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 2 GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.7.4.
Any suggestions on how to resolve these video distortion / system hang problems would be greatly appreciated.

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

I have exactly the same problem, which started again yesterday; coincidentally the day my warranty ran out!
The situation is complicated for me because I live in rural lincolnshire, but was in London all summer and had a new logic board replaced under warranty last month at the London- Stratford store.
It seems the £400 logic board replacement didn't fix it. When I try to get support, the website just laughs at me and holds out the cup for more money. I had a chat with somebody in the store this evening and I've got to take it into a store AGAIN!
Perusal of the 'Support' pages turns up literally thousands of people who have this or similar faults, all the way back to 2006, and I've not seen anything yet indicating that Apple have got a grip of it.
I've been using Apple kit for 16 years now and I've never had any trouble until now, but this bloody laptop, which is no better than my iMac now for portability has let me down badly several times in the last 6 weeks.
I'm really hacked off with this, get your **** together Apple!

Is iCloud as good to back up files when an iMac 2007 model does not have an external hard drive is this enough to find files and apps at another time

I have given my iMac 2007 model running mountain lion OSX 10.8.3 to a friend and she doesn't have an external hard drive to back up would using iCloud be as good to back up files pictures etc and can I find them again if lost please.

These are the iCloud storage options: http://www.apple.com/icloud/includes/lightbox-storage.html
Also bear in mind that:
1. restoring data over icloud takes time
2. iCloud is not designed as a replacement to Time Machine.

IMac Early 2008 - Spinning Wheel constantly also in Safe Mode

Hello Apple Support community!
Recently I've been having much trouble with my iMac Early 2008. In the last 5 years I have never had an issue with it until about 4 days ago and I have no idea how this problem came about.
I have 10.8.5 installed and know a bit about OS X.
Problem Description: On a recent Dropbox sync where there appeared to be a folder conflict the computer hung and was unresponsive. I had to hard shut down by using the power button. Every successive boot (and attempt for DB to sync) ended in a hang and the spinning wheel. I booted into Safemode, disabled Dropbox as a startup item, rebooted and everything worked for a few hours. Because I needed files from DB i decided to download the update and install. This added DB to the startup items again and history repeated itself. Spinning wheel on startup and a hard shut down again. This time safe mode couldn't save me. I was also getting the spinning wheel there too. I left it for a few days until today when I finally hads the time to troubleshoot.
From my iPad I unlinked the iMac from dropbox and booted it from the install disk to perform a hardward test. The standard test showed no errors so I rebooted. I immediately wanted to do a time machine backup and after 6GB were transferred, Time Machine stalled. The spinning wheel was back and I had to hard reset. So I started in safe mode and waited for Time Machine to do its thing. It began cleaning up and then managed only about 140MB before hanging.
Next I started the iMac in Firewire target disk mode and tried to transfer the files to my 15" Powerbook (OS 10.4.11) After only 700MB the Firewire logo on the iMac screen stopped moving and the file transfer stalled. I did a hard shut down again.
This time I ran OS 10.5.4 from the install disk and opened disk utility > verify disk to check for errors. None were found so I rebooted into SAFE MODE and wanted to run terminal to clear dyld cache. Since Finder is unusually sluggish and it seems any mouse-clicking causes the spinning wheel, I waited a bit and then hit command-space to bring up Spotlight into order to launch Terminal. There the iMac hung yet again, but quite strange is that the spotlight search window came up with the description about indexing taking a long time etc etc. I only know that the first time an HD has to be indexed and since this computer is quite old I find that curious.
A.t.m. I am running the extended hardware test from install disk and looking for suggestions about how I can reliably get my data off the HD in order to do a clean install, if I have to. Alternative suggestions to avoid that would be welcome, but I understand that this may be the only solution, if not also having to buy and install a new HD first.
thanks for your help in advance.
best regards,
Dan

AHT extended version reports the following error

Google results show only people with SSD drives reporting that. Cause could be a loose cable??

Hello USME,
'Tis a common problem on old Macs.
Do as Allan says: open the door and blow out all the dust bunnies. Canned air from Wal-Mart or Radio Shack can be handy (though sort of expensive) especially for blowing through the back of the power supply. A cool Mac is a happy Mac.
Be sure your Mac can breathe. The air intake is on the bottom of the case, so be sure a deep pile rug or too many papers on your desk are not blocking the air supply.
Feel the power supply and the processor with your hand. They should be warm but not hot; if you have to move your hand away, that's too hot!
Check the fan on the power supply, and on the processor if it has one. Take a flashlight and peer in the back of the (Mac) case through the grille; make sure the fan is turning. If it's not, the power supply won't work for long.
Fans are not considered serviceable, though they will succumb to mechanics of determination. A CPU fan is easy and straightforward.
A fan replacement will not cure an already damaged power supply; the PS may already be done for. Used power supplies for a DA are hard to come by, and not especially cheap when found (c.$50). An entire working DA or Quicksilver may often be found for under $100 on eBay, and swapping in your HD is easy and simple... this might be cheaper and more expeditious than repairing an expired DA. Replacing a power supply is fairly easy, but it's a nuisance and requires a 2mm Allen head wrench in addition to the usual #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
In my experience, power supplies and CPUs are about equally likely to fail. There are a few other possibilities, but they are not nearly so common.
Good luck!... Jon
