IMac (Retina 5K) power consumption

At what wattage is the iMac 5k (4.0 GHz) rated?
I've ordered one, but want to properly spec out a UPS for it and my peripheral devices.
The only tech specs I can find regarding power consumption are:
Electrical and Operating Requirements
Line voltage: 100-240V AC
Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase
Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
Operating altitude: tested up to 10,000 feet
(Ref: iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) - Technical Specifications)

Drill down in the Tech Specs link to the Environmental Report. ~72W at idle.

IMac G4/700 Power consumption

New question on an old but reliable machine:
Lately my UPS has given an "overload" signal several times. It is supposed to handle 350 VA/200W.
I searched through this forum and could not find a thread indicating where to find the rated power consumption of my iMac G4/700.
Since this problem only started occurring recently I suspect my UPS battery is bad but I thought I would try to research all possibilities. Thanks for any help.

When shopping for a replacement battery for the UPS, also consider
the newer technologies in the higher model line of UPS products that
have an 'automatic voltage regulation' feature. This will help keep the
attached computer healthy and protect it from both Up & Down action
on the grid. Also, some have a special USB-Ethernet data cable for
use with the uninterruptible power supply that Mac OS X can then use
to see and control the backup power configuration within System Prefs.
The UPS, beeping, may also mean that during the weather and holiday
seasonal loads on the grid, there are localized changes in the quality &
availability of electricity in your area. My newer APC brand UPS is OK
in that it shows the power specifications on an LED display on it, and
also allows me to set power settings in the Energy preference panel.
And it has a bigger battery, better technologies than my old failed one.
Sometimes warehouse stores have a fair price on these, since shipping
is generally high from elsewhere, due to the weight of the battery's lead.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT3559 iMac 20" 2008 power consumption off, sleep, idle?

Where can I find specifications for power consumption for older Macs?

Oops! I found some answers here. Though the archive is missing many machines, and specifically the 2008 iMac that I'm looking for http://images.apple.com/environment/reports/

Power Consumption for iMac 20" INTEL DUO CORE

I need to know which is the power consumption for the 20" 2.16 GHz INTEL CORE DUO. I want to buy a UPS for this machine and I could not figure out in any place within the manual where to get that information. It is something that have to be very easy to find but it was not the case for me in this opportunity.
I cannot believe that I have to create a post in order to get this answer!
Kind regards to all and thanks for any clue that any one can give me.
iMAC 2.16 Dual CORE 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to the discussions!
Another vote for APC. I use the XS900 for my first gen G5 iMac and it works very nicely without their PowerChute software. It even comes with the correct USB cable to hook it into your Mac.

Power consumption when PowerOFF: 24" iMac 2009

I really wonder about my iMac 2009 Modell: when using sleep mode I got 11-12 watts power consumption. But when shutting down the iMac (Power Off in Apple Menu), the same iMac takes 10 watts
Is this normal and how can I get sleep mode with far less or none watts?

I'm having the same thing with my 2008 24 inch iMac. I'm not sure if it is the hard drive or one of the fans, but there is a loud WHOOSH every time it starts up or wakes from sleep and the whirring noise is pretty much constant. It used to be completely silent, so this new sound is very noticeable.
Lately, the noise with abruptly stop and then make a struggling sound as if whatever is causing it is either going away or making it stop revolving or whatever (it would help if I could determine exactly WHAT is making the noise). I check iStat, but can't see any wide variance in the fans rpm speeds when it is happening or the heat of various components spiking. It is not affecting my computer use as it did the first time I had a similar problem (which turned out to the the hard drive, since replaced under warranty).
I bought Apple Care for this computer, so it is still covered under that, but I don't know if the fact that the noise is completely annoying to listen to all day is enough reason to bring it in for service and be covered under the extended warranty.

HT3559 iMac power consumption

Where can i find the power consumption level of my Imac (21.5 inch late 2009) when it is in sleep mode.
It doesn't seem to include sleep mode here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3559
I have seen it in the past in the enviromental report but that doesn't seem to be online for the 2009 model anymore?
Thanks

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

Max power consumption 2011 iMac 27"?

What's the total maximum power draw of a 2011 iMac 27" with 3.4GHz Core i7, 16GB RAM, 250GB SSD + 2TB HD?
This is so I can properly size a replacement UPS.
The Apple environmental report doesn't address this: the closest it comes is the idle power consumption with display on.

Thanks for that rule-of-thumb!
Actually I have a maxed-out iMac (not a Mac Pro) -- as you'll see in my profile, a BTO with max speed Core i7, max RAM, also a 2GB VRAM. Both from greater eneregy efficiency of latest processors, I assume that without question a current iMac would in fact draw less than an existing Mac Pro.
I have an APC Back-UPS RS 1500, aka model BR1500LCD. Its battery is nearly at the normal age for replacement, so I'm considering the APC "trade-ups" program. Ideally, I'd get as replacement:
Back-UPS Pro 1500 (865 W, 1500 VA)
Unfortunately, that's several inches too high to fit under my computer table, so that's out. That would seem to leave:
Back-UPS Pro 1000 (600 W, 1000 VA)
With Apple's Environmental Report showing idle-display on consumption, at 115 V, as 143 W, the latter 600 W model would seem to fall within your rule-of-thumb recommendation, and even if I'm also running an external HD for backup that I want to let stop gracefully in the event of an outage.

Power consumption for 7100?

Hi:
Does anybody know what is the power consumption of the 7100 series device in the 'idle' mode and 'call' mode?
Can not seem to find this information....
Thank you

What is the power consumption of the 15 inch rMBP?

I have the 15 inch Early 2013 Retina MacBook Pro. Does anyone have the specs for power consumption while the laptop is charging but asleep? I ask because I have an "eco" surge protector that I'm trying to confgure but I think the rMBP uses over 15W when it is charging so I can't use the surge protector "auto shut off slave outlets" feature. Thanks in advance.

See > http://images.apple.com/environment/reports/docs/15inch_macbookpro_retina_per_fe b2013.pdf That's all the information we know about this

Power consumption for latest mac pros?

I read on Apple.com somewhere that the 2008 Mac pro's maximum power consumption is 260+ Watts for a Quad-core. How different is it for the new Mac pros?

I guess English is a lost language now.
For the Mac Pro it is really really simple and based on 7 yrs of PowerMac G5s and then Mac Pro owners: 1500VA - you can get by with slightly smaller 1300VA and some people, because of better build, used SMART UPS 1000VA.
And as I said in another thread, the Mac Pro 'suffers' from inrush current that can knock out smaller UPS, and people that have tried to use 500-900VA units got into a lot of trouble and had to upgrade.
No one can know the total system watts used other than use a KILLAWATT on the power cord.
Look at the case, can an iMac dispel as much heat as easily? no. It is designed for lower power and much fewer components.
Core i7 has HyperTransport and Turbo boost for one thing. Apple had a huge coding problem with audio (incl iTunes and others), flash and Nehalem based systems. High cpu temperature and lost processor cycles and performance.
The 2010 Mac Pro can do more for the same, and DDR3 lowered heat and watts noticeably.
There are sites where you can plug in various components and get an idea of how large a PSU would be needed. Try one of those, too. PSU efficiency, and there is "overhead" needed for the motherboard chips and to run PCI Express for graphics, Firewire, etc. It all adds up.
Apple's example is low-end system configuration, the chart says CPU MAX, not SYSTEM (but then, most everything on hardware requirements lately needs a grain of salt).
Quad-core 2.66GHz configuration:
One 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" 3500 series processor,
3GB memory (three 1GB 1066MHz DDR3 ECC DIMMs),
640 GB Serial ATA 3 Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive,
18x double-layer SuperDrive,
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
APC we know, whether PowerMac 2.0DP from 2003 or Quad G5, or Mac Pro, that 1500VA is strongly recommended.

IMac Retina shuts off USB ports when sleeping

I have a new iMac Retina i7 with 32GB RAM running Yosemite. Approximately 60% percent of the time, when the iMac goes to sleep, it shuts off all of the USB ports. This includes dumping hard drives without properly ejecting them, as well as shutting off powered USB hubs. Switching the drives and hubs around to different ports does not help the problem, and it appears to be becoming more frequent. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I too am having hub issues with my 5K iMac. I purchased an Amazon Basics hub, that never worked at all. I returned it and got one made by vantec. I have two external hard drives connected to it, and they always are recognized after sleep or restart. But other things get dropped, like my two printers. I seem to be able to resolve the dropped hub ports by ejecting my external hard drives and then unplugging the power to the hub, then reconnecting the power. When i do, all the indicator lights come on again, and things work.
I am working with Vantec about this issue, they have been terrific by email, and they are offering to replace the hub. But now I am wondering if something more basic is wrong, like this SMC reset that has been mentioned in this thread. I was about to ask if that was hard to do, but I just looked at the link provided by Ralph, and doing it is easy-peasy. I will give this a try, and try to remember to report back.
thanks, Peter

Low Power Consumption Thumb Drives (For Aluminum Keyboards)

Like most folks without an iMac (I have a MacPro), I'd like to plug a thumb drive into the side of the keyboard. But with most of the drives I have I get the "Low Power Notice".
However, when I plug in an older SanDisk Cruzer Titanium, it works great. The drag is it's only 512MB.
Does anyone know of lower power consumption thumb drives that will work with the aluminum keyboards?
Thanks!

OK, are you plugging your keyboard directly into your MacBook Pro with the notebook plugged in or running on battery? It seems like the keyboard is not receiving enough power or is defective so you just need to narrow down where the issue is.
My guess is the keyboard is not getting enough power so it in turn cannot power external devices. You might try taking it into an Apple store and speaking to a Genius. If you can't try another keyboard and see how that performs, if you get the same issue then it's not the keyboard it is probably the amount of power being supplied to it.

Win 8.1, iMac Retina 3TB Fusion, Yosemite, Boot Camp fail!

I've got a new iMac Retina with the 3TB Fusion drive on which I wanted to install Win 8.1 using Boot Camp. I have VMWare Fusion installed and running, but figured Boot Camp might be better for my needs.
I read the Boot Camp Assistant instructions and it looked like it would be pretty easy to install Win 8.1. WRONG!
I hooked up a USB HD for the driver download, hooked up the USB Apple DVD drive with the Win 8.1 installer, and started up Boot Camp Assistant.
Assistant downloaded the drivers, created the BOOTCAMP partition, then I got into the Win 8.1 installer. Reached a screeching halt when the installer got to the point of selecting where Win 8.1 would be installed. Got the error message about BOOTCAMP partition not being an NTFS drive.
Only one button "Format" to click to make the format NTFS. Confirmed I wanted to format, saw a brief spinning wheel, then supposedly formatting was done. Now Drive 1 Partition 4 lost the "BOOTCAMP" name and displayed no name. The "Next" button wouldn't do anything. I was stuck!
So no go on installing Win 8.1! Booting back into Yosemite and opening Disk Utility I see the Boot Camp partition, now named "untitled," identified as an NTSF volume!
I see a number of posts here where by using Terminal it is possible to work around problems with Fusion drives and Boot Camp.
My solution was to start Boot Camp Assistant and select the third option on the first screen to remove the Boot Camp partition. Well at least that worked!!! So I'm back to ground zero!
For now I think I'll just surrender and wait for Apple to figure out how somebody, who doesn't want to dig deep into the bowels of Fusion drives via Terminal, can install Win 8.1 on a 3TB Fusion drive (or any Fusion Drive?).

Thanks Loner T for your response. I don't have any third party NFTS software. At this point I don't think it is worth the effort to attempt to do anything complicated.
I did take some screen grabs and photos as I went through the install for the fourth or fifth time.
1) Disk Utility before start:
2) Create the Windows partition:
3) Initial Windows partitions:
4) Windows message on why can't install
5) Hit the "Format" button, and get this confirmation:
6) Results in partition name getting wiped, and still no active "Next" button:
7) Still can't install Windows, hit "Show Details" and get this error message.
8) Another attempt to "Format" results in the same problem. Still can't install. Boot back into Yosemite. Here's what Disk Utility now shows -- an "untitled" NTFS volume:
Here's the finder window showing the "untitled" volume:
The NTFS partition is there, but the Win 8.1 installer can't use it. Yes, it makes no sense, but that's what is going on!
Here's info from Terminal on CS I see used here if it helps any:

Please help.
I just received my latest iMac Retina 5K 27inch and tried to install newly purchased Acrobat XI Pro, installation went ok, but it give me error message when I open the program:
" An internal error occurred."
I tried to install it into my old iMac 2010 and it works fine. Below are system information of my 2 x iMac, can anyone give me some advises? Thank you.

Hi yang2898,
If the installation went ok and you are unable to launch Acrobat then this might be due to licensing issue.
Please check if you have full read/ write permissions to the following folders:
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
You might also want to check in the root user account of Mac (Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X - Apple Support)
