No, it is not true. There are third-party resellers that modify iMacs to add a touch screen, but the iMac as shipped by Apple does not have a touch screen.

The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have?

The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have? I have adobe photoshop elements 11 and baboo drawing pad and they both have CDs to install.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The new iMac hasn't got a SuperDrive to insert CDs and DVDs, so you can't install software from CDs and DVDs.
Instead, you have different ways to install the applications you have on DVDs:
1. Buy any external optical drive for your Mac and use it to install your applications.
2. If you have another PC or Mac, you can save the external optical drive cost and use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Note that this may be a bit slow

Can I move the Photoshop Elements 6.0 from an older iMac to a new one? The new iMac has no drive?

I share this person's pain. And was just now about to ask the same question. So, in effect we're screwed. I have the disc but without a drive I think E12 and this computer is going to have a very short life in my life. And for the life of me, why is so darn hard to get questions answered by Adobe? Good grief...I have 2 books and have saty through enough video "tutorials" to last me for some time!

Is it true that The new ipad intolerably hot?

I saw herad that the new ipad is every hot after being run it for about 40 minutes. Is that true?

Saying its not true is an attempt to blanket the whole issue.
It is indeed true but it doesn't apply to all units saying they get just warm and not hot. I owned 2 new iPads with that are extremely hot to the touch (running Retina apps especially) as compared to regular notebooks running GPU intensive activities. The second unit goes very close to 60 celsius, verified and exchanged. I ended up with a 3rd unit that runs moderately high GPU utilisation apps at +/-35 Celsius (which then Apple gives an option to refund for heat based issues) which qualifies for an exchange but on the other hand, it runs at approximately 30 Celsius after long usage.
I'm using the 3rd unit for a week already and I'm quite neutral on the overall round up of this iPad. I'm monitoring further if there are ocassions the iPad battery drains as its producing temperature that's beyond the battery's rating of 35 Celsius.
If that's the case, I'll get an iPad 2.
The iPads are from pr

Is it true that the new MacBook Pro retinas got issues with latency?

I'm thinking of ordering the late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch, with 2.6 Ghz, 16GB RAM , 512SSD
I'm gonna use it mainly for live keys sounds using mainstage, logic, omnisphere, ableton etc. After reading a forum, I found that the new macs are pretty bad with latency, is this gonna be a big problem...suggestions?

We don't know. Anything you see on a rumor site like Apple Insider is just that - rumor. No one knows when new models will be released until Apple makes a public announcement. If you wish to base your decisions on the rumor mill then do so, but we cannot tell you whether they are valid or not.

Can the new iMac be used as a display for my mid 2010 MBP?

I am considering buying a 2011 iMac and was wondering if the new iMac can be used as a display for my mid 2010 MBP.
I know that the new iMac has a thunderbolt display ports, and my macbook pro does not.

You're referring to Target Display Mode Mid 2011 iMacs this letter will explain how it works or in your case will not work () with your mid 2010 MBP. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Why is the MacBook Pro Serial ATA transfer speed half that of the new iMac?

I have a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz 15.4 inch with a Seagate Momentus 160 GB, 7200 rpm, serial ATA, PRT hard drive. This hard drive has a serial ATA transfer speed rating of 3.0 Gigabits per second. The MBP logic board has an Intel 965 chip set that has a serial transfer speed rating of 3.0 Gigabits per second. I was at the Mac Store the other day and noticed that the new iMac 20 and 24 inch computers (that have the same intel 965 chip set) have an Intel ICH8-MAHCI speed rating of 3.0 Gigabits per second. My question is why does the MacBook and MacBook Pro's only have an Intel ICH8-M AHCI speed rating of 1.5 Gigabits per second? Attached is a copy of my Serial-ATA information:

For several reason although the main one is that the vast majority of 2.5" drives have a 1.5Gbps interfacce. Drives with a 3Gbps interface in this size are rare where as they're very common in the 3.5" drive size which is used in the iMac.
Additionally you'll find that few drives do in fact make use of this larger bandwidth. For instance, the fastest 3.5" SATA drive one can buy for an iMac/Mac Pro up to 500GB is in fact a Western Digital Raptor 150GB which has an SATA I 1.5Gbps interface. So the interface bandwidth isn't everything. Yes there are faster drives than this now but they are in the 750GB size and up.

The new Firefox has removed my Yahoo mail and other settings. Why? How do I get them back? It gives me a screen that says go "here" but nothing happens.

Before the latest update, I used Firefox almost exclusively. Now that the new version has removed, or hidden, my entire Yahoo settings and pages, I can't use Firefox at all.

hello, how to restart firefox into safemode is described in the link i've provided in my prior answer.
other users also had problems with yahoo mail when they were using the ghostery addon - do you have it installed too by any chance? if so, add an exception for yahoo mail: click on the ghostery icon while you're in yahoo's webmail, choose "edit blocking options" & then don't block on this domain...

Will the new iMac support FCStudio2?

This may be a dumb question, but I did a search on the forums, and they talked about only G4s and G5s.
The Apple web site confuses me; it says "An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card" is needed, but the iMac has an "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory."
Does that mean FCStudio2 can be installed only on a G5, where you can install different graphics cards?

Hi, I have had pretty good experiences using the new iMac (2.4GHZ, 20" screen, 2GB memory, ATI 256MB videocard) with FCStudio2. Below details my experience.
Final Cut Pro: works great, everything is pretty smooth and it hasn't failed me yet (most likely you will be limited to working with DV footage however, as you can't add a standalone capture card for HD).
DVD Studio Pro: works great with no problems
Compressor: when I am doing large batch exports, it is noticeably slower than my tower (to the extent that I just do them overnight).
Motion: works fine if you work with files with a small duration; doesn't run as smooth as my tower
Soundtrack Pro: works great
Color: I've been tinkering with this program. Seems to run fine, but I am no expert in it.
Hope this helps!

New imac has only one firewire 800 port?

Is there a hub or repeater you can use instead of daisy chaining. Can't figure out why my old imac has two firewire ports and the new imac has one. How are others managing multiple hard drives? I wish to use a hub for my firewire connections. What is the best way. thanks

You can locate Firewire hubs however they are expensive. I have had 3 Firewire 800 external HD's daisy chained together for 3 years that work flawlessly. The drives I have come with 2 FW 800 ports so this is quite easy, there are several top quality external HD's that are similar including:
OWC Mercury Pro line
Lacie Quadra D2 line (this is what i have)
G-Tech G series line
All of these drives have similar specifications and are all high quality products. I think you will find them to be the most recommended on these forums.
BTW your old iMac had 1 Firewire port and 1 Firewire 800 port not 2 firewire ports.

Roger

How Can i connect using Thunderbolt a Macbook Pro with the New iMac

I bought the new Macbook Pro with Thunderbolt and instead of buying a new external monitor, i am thinking that the new iMac with Thunderbolt is a great idea.
Is there a cable to connect the Macbook Pro and use as iMac as external monitor, using Thunderbolt.
thanks

I understood your question perfectly and the answer is absolutely yes. When you change the iMac into target display mode you underlying operating system continues to run all existing applications. For example in my case if I finished editing some video and am about to enter a lengthy render process or something which may draw lots of resources like hand real, I set it to start on the iMac and then switch it to target display mode to use it as a monitor with my MacBook air in the meantime.
Only one small caveat in your case though. Since the target display mode is a feature of OSX (eg the OS interprets the special key stroke and changes the iMac into target display mode) you should make sure Lion server supports the target display mode feature. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't but that's the only thing currently crossing my mind. Keep in mind the compatibilities between ports as noted in my blog. If any of your machines have mini display port and you intend to connect the new iMac in target display mode you will run into issues. In that special scenario, I recommend buying a refurb iMac from 2010 which urtilize the displayport allowing you to use it as a display for all your macs -- those with thunderbolt as well as those with displayport. If you have thunderbolts then definitely go with the thunderbolt iMac.

How do I burn cd's on the new iMac?

I have heard that the new iMac does not have the ability to receive a cd or dvd. How will I burn images onto a cd of the photos of my artwork? I have to do this often when I apply to juried shows, send samples of my work to galleries, apply for commissions, etc.
I am presently on a 2007 iMac which is using Mountain Lion....OSX 10.8.2
Thanks.

I have heard that the new iMac does not have the ability to receive a cd or dvd.
I would purchase this instead. It can be equipped with 2 optical drives, BUILT-IN.

Further, you can change out hard drives in 60 seconds with no tools and have any type of display you wish.

Final Cut and the New iMac

Does anyone know how well Final Cut will work on the dual core iMac? I can't afford the Power Mac and I am hoping to hear that the new iMac will run Final just fine. How much extra RAM should I get?
Am I right or just hopeful?
Chris

I am sure that you know what I mean David and Patrick even though your attitude, should it happen to you, would probably be more sanguine.
I suspect that you, like me, could write a cheque for any amount and never notice it. Many Mac users though are students or otherwise on low budgets and the purchase of a computer is probably their largest expense after a house and car.
When I bought one of my cars three years ago it was due to be "upgraded" in six months and I was given a 25% discount. I realise that cars and computers are completely different but this analogy is as pertinent as Patrick's wheel trims.
The ethical thing to do would be to announce the new model a couple of months before it was due and in the interim sell off the outgoing models with either a 10% discount or something free thrown in as a sweetener.
Apple would have lost a little cash in the short term but the goodwill engendered would have accounted for much higher profits in the future.
Anyway, it's obvious that we hold differing opinions and will never completely agree on this one.
Ian.

Two quick questions about the new iMacs...

I work at a church, and this summer, we are breaking ground on a new building. I am hoping to get a new iMac to go in the new sound booth to run the Power Point. Two questions:
Would a church get a special discount when buying from Apple?
Did I hear somewhere that the new iMacs support an external monitor (a different output than the main monitor)?
Thanks!
Matthew

<<Would a church get a special discount when buying from Apple?
Did I hear somewhere that the new iMacs support an external monitor (a different output than the main monitor)?>>
I know Apple offers education and government discounts... I'm not aware of discounts for church organizations.
Yes, the iMac CD offers support for dual monitors, mirrored and extended.
