IMac 2012 and UPS

Have a late 2012 iMac 21.5 inch with OSX 10.9.4 connected to a UPS from APC ES-750 configured to shut down the iMac once UPS gets to 50% battery remaining.
The question is: if the iMac is in sleep mode and there is a power outage, will the iMac know to shut down?
Thanks for any input.

If the UPS is working the way it's supposed to, yes, because the UPS will wake up the Mac.

  • Is it possible to have a dual screen setup with an iMac (2012) and an iMac (mid 2007)?

    Hello Everyone,
    I have two iMacs. One is a 2012 model and the other is a mid 2007 model. Would I be able to use the mid 2007 model as an extra monitor?
    I was going to purchase a mini dvi to mini display port cable and see what happens but I think it would be a good idea to see what everyone else thinks. Thanks for any suggestions!

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    I am thinking that won't work. The older iMac's video port only goes on direction - out. It won't take the signal from the newer iMac. You might be able to do something with this software;

  • ITunes 1080p download playback on latest iMac (2012) and iTunes v11 64-Bit

    I've recently bought the new iMac (top of the range 2012 version) and am running all the lates software, including iTunes 11 under 64 Bit.
    I thought I would re-organise my iTunes library, deleting SD and 720p files and re-downloading the 1080p version from iTunes. All is great, except I get the QuickTime error when trying to play back the file. This is weird because I can play the file OK as it's downloading, it only has a problem once it's completed the download and the file is processed. I don't want to switch my iTunes to 32 Bit to play them back. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Reading this thread, i realize my response doesn't make a lot of sense.  Sorry 'bout that. I've been deesperately searching for help to get my iTunes running again and i've tried many different things. No such luck so far.

  • How to convince parents to iMac 2012 and MacBook Pro Retina in one?

    How?

    Your English is better than my Polish To be honest, if my parents had bought me one computer I'd have been thrilled.
    My advice is always the same. If you need a notebook computer then that is what you should buy but if you just want a notebook - don't. A notebook always costs more and you always get less. Further, owing to the convenience of having it with you where ever you go, the notebook is subjected to more stress, poor environments, and situations that can lead to damage and theft.

  • Using Remote Disc and Imac 2012

    I'm thinking of buying the new Imac 2012 and was wondering whether it is possible to use the "Remote Disk" ap (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287) to share the drive of my Macbook Pro 13 (late 2011) with the new Imac. Has anyone tried this? Many thanks!

    It should work, with the limitations stated in the article.

  • I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
    "...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it."  Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct  25 2013.
    If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
    You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Boot your Mac from the System Install DVD that came with it, and erase the HD using Disk Utility. Then, reinstall the OS from the disc. Give the disc to your kids since it must always accompany the Mac it came with.
    After the OS installation is complete and the Mac restarts to begin its new owner setup procedure, just shut down the Mac. Your kids can take it from there.
    If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store, you cannot transfer it. The Apple ID you used to purchase it is required to maintain and / or reinstall the OS. Unless you want to supply your own Apple ID to your children for their use, they must purchase their own copy of Mountain Lion using their own Apple ID.
    If they do not already have an Apple ID and you want them to have Mountain Lion, you will need to create one on their behalf. This does not change the above procedure - just give them the Apple ID and password you create in addition to the Mac and its discs.

    i've a iMac 27', summer of 2012, and my garageband doesn't record by the internal microphone, what can I do, to resolve this problem?
    only for contextualize, in other softwares the microphone record correctly like quicktime, or in facetime, even photobooth. but in garage band not.
    i dont know if its a problem of the software, an error of actualization, or a bad configuration. please give me a hand.
    cheers.

    Did you choose the mic as the input device in Garageband Preferences?

  • Question about the new IMac display 2012 and pollution

    The IMac late 2010 there is the problem that the fan behind the screen and glass environment pollution such as smoke, candle soot, heating dirt etc fans were absorbed and resulted in contamination streaks on the inside of the glass cover.
    A new display technology is applied to the new IMac in 2012 and thus achieved a higher density of the display. Can Apple confirm that with this new display, the old dirt from the inside of the glass are excluded and will no longer occur?
    Thank you for answer

    Good question, but you're not talking to Apple here, just users like yourself, so I doubt you'll get a definitive answer.

  • HT5619 Is it possible to reattach an iMac (Late 2012 and later) with a Built-in Vesa Mount Adaptor to an iMac stand?

    Is it possible to reattach an iMac (Late 2012 and later) with a Built-in Vesa Mount Adaptor to an iMac stand? I'll be moving and having my iMac on a stand would be easier then mounting it on my bowling table.

  • New iMac (late 2012) and display configuration

    Dear Friends,
    I have bought the new imac and I need your help configure the space color I wish to use on it.
    I use a Canon 60D to take photos in RAW (CR2) and it is configurated to use Adobe RGB color space (for both RAW and JPEG). When I checked the imac color configuration, it shows me "imac Profile" and other profies, Adobe RBG including. The problem is, when I select show profiles for this display only, it hides both sRGB and Adobe RGB!
    Can't I use Adobe RGB the the new imac? If I can, how can I configurate my imac in order to use Adobe RGB. I would like to highlight that, at the moment I selected Adobe RGB, the colors of my wallpaper (the original imac walpaper) gone...
    Another question is: can I set my monitor to use Adobe RGB when using Adobe Lightroom only?
    Thanks a lot!

    I'm disappointed to know that my new iMac is not compatible with Adobe RGB, mainly because I bought it to use with photos. Anyway, I'll try some configurations and let you know if I have some success. Maybe someone within the Community can give some light for us.
    Thanks a lot!
    You have a slight mis-understanding as to just what a color profile is and how it relates to color spaces, I believe. This can be an extremely complex subject, and volumes have been written about it, but in general...
    Simply speaking a color profile maps individual color elements (pixel) values between color spaces.  Your Canon 60D generates images in one of two color spaces, Adobe RGB or sRGB (I have a 7D and 5D Mk III).  Using sRGB doesn't have as wide a color space as Adobe RGB, but it is entirely suitable for images to be displayed on the web where most of the display devices are closest to sRGB in their native, i.e. uncalibrated, state.  Most users never calibrate their monitors so sRGB is always the best choise for the widest audience on the web.
    I always take pictures in RAW and use Adobe RGB.  When I edit my images in Photoshop or LIghtroom I tell the software that I wish to edit in the color space Prophoto RGB which is a wider color space than Adobe RGB and allows more accurate editing of the colors.  Adobe RGB color values are said to be mapped to the ProPhoto RGB color space by the software.  It is possible to do this conversion very accurately for two reasons.  One, ProPhoto RGB is a wider color space than Adobe RGB, and two, the attributes of both color spaces are precisely defined.
    There are three basic actions you can choose from to get your prints to be close to what you see on your monitor. 
    The first is to use the 'iMac' color profile already on your iMac.  This profile was created to provide proper color space conversion for the average or nominal iMac display and any given display can deviate appreciably from this 'nominal' display.  It is a decent place to start if you're not too picky about color representation.
    The second thing you could do is calibrate your monitor yourself.  The most attractive method pricewise is to use the iMac's built in calibration capability.  This will in all likelyhood not be very accurate as it uses the Mark One Eyeball (yours) to make the color comparisons and the eye doesn't do a good job at this because so many variables that you cannot control have an effect on the process.  It can get you close, though, and may be satisfactory for you (it isn't for me, but I'm extremely picky about color).
    The third thing you could do is purchase a color calibration system.  These range in cost from around $100 US to several thousand.  Look for offerings from companies such as DataColor (Spyder series) and X-Rite.
    Basically a color calibration system uses a hardware device to measure the actual colors as displayed by your monitor vs standard pixel colors. It does this for all pixel color values. From this series of measurements the calibration software will create a profile that will accurately map any color space with a defined profile to be a 'best fit' on your individual monitor (iMac display). This method will get your colors to be much closer than the eye ever could.
    Regardless of which method you choose I suggest delve deeper into color profiles and color spaces.  A good place to start is Jeffrey Friedl's Blog.

  • New iMac 2012 & Mini DisplayPort to DVI-Adapter

    Will this adapter work with the new iMac 2012 (27-inch)?
    (I´m not sure because there are only thunderbolt ports on the picture and no Mini DisplayPort)
    Thank you!
    bye

    Hello,
    A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.
    If you plan to do other things with your Thunderbolt connector and don't want it wasted on a monitor, you can also choose an HDMI --> DVI adapter, which for your purposes will be functionally equivalent.
    You can even use both at the same time.
