Is there someone really happy with his new iMac 20"?

I mean, someone who hasn't got issues, in any way?
I've just ordered the alu iMac 20" and I cannot wait to receive it...I've seen it in the store and I don't care 'bout the "gradient effect" since i'll use it for recording audio...but reading these boards is not really encouraging...
Excuse my english,
thank you.

Yes there are plenty of us who are happy with them, it's just that the unhappy are far far more likely to be posting about it. There are even a few posting negatively about them who don't even have one! It is a distorted representation.
I use mine for pro audio. It works very well thanks, and as for the gradient..
The weird effect at the top corners is my cameras lens. Every screen I take with it looks the same (Dell DVI 18" screens, TVs)

  • Will I be happy with a new iMac & FCE4?

    I am considering upgrading for the primary purpose of being able to edit AVCHD video in FCE4.
    Your thoughts are appreciated... am I correct in my assumptions below? I do not have the $$ for a new MacPro, so...
    I have a Power Mac (Tower) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 2G of RAM and about 750 G of HD space.
    I am thinking I want to sell it and get a 20" iMac. Why? A couple of reasons:
    1 - Faster (am I right)
    2 - Better for video editing (intel) with my new AVCHD SONY SR11
    3 - Smaller footprint
    4 - I anticipate next OS to be intel only and want to sell before that turn of events lowers the value of my tower even more
    5 - Looks like I can get nearly 1k for my current setup, thus only being out about $400-$500
    Your thoughts?
    Are their any reasons I shouldn't make this switch? Will FCE4 work fast on a new 20" iMac? Of course, I will need to buy an external BluRay burner, but oh well...
    Dwaine

    "Fast" is a relative term, but FCE4 will run fine on this iMac. It would also run on your G5, but working with AVCHD footage requires an Intel processor.
    There's no BluRay support in iDVD. I think Toast offers it.

  • Is anyone happy with the new iweb 09

    Is anyone happy with the new iweb 09? Do you like the new ftp option? Are there any new templates?
    Does this software fix any of the previous browser problems, like IE destroying our websites and effects not showing in certain browsers. I hope this is fixed it seemed to be the main thing that makes iweb not the best thing ever..

    As always, the problem is not really with iWeb but that stone age contraption that Fred Flintstone used - Internet Explorer.
    I keep my file sizes down as much as I can in iWeb, add effects to images and then take a screenshot to replace this as a JPEG etc.
    I then optimize and upload the files with WSM which cuts out about 30% of the unneeded stuff.
    I don't use iWeb albums pages any more or any of the fancy templates.
    I have quit using Quicktime for music in favor of flash.
    A backward browser needs to be fed simple information.

    you might need to buy a new cable from the apple store.

  • Yes... There are issues with the new iMac, early adopters baby!

    Hi, I am a new iMac owner.
    Being a network engineer and having worked for the "devil" himself, let me tell you... I would rather be dealing with the tiny glitches with the new iMac than owning a Dell, Toshiba, HP but most importantly running Vista!
    This is a new machine with new HW and drivers. I enjoy trying the latest and the greatest. I realize there will be hurdles to overcome with any new product, but come one people! Let's stop whining, and help everyone out here. We are all here to provide constructive feedback to Apple while helping everyone out.
    Yes there Display issues.
    Yes there are Keyboard issues.
    Yes there are WoW issue and UT as well.
    Target disk issues.. Yes
    Lock ups.. sure!
    My suggestion... If you think you are better off with a PC and Vista, well go to it mate!
    Sorry for the ramble, but I just got tired of all the whiners thinking that buying an iMac was their solution to never having issues by leaving the PC world, or should I say MSWorld... LOL

    I think few, if any people claimed they were going to ditch their new iMac for a PC. I like Macs, but I don't love them like I used to.
    Half the reason people buy them, is because they think they can rely on Macs more. They are supposed to be stable, fuss free and easy to use. And they still are for the most part.
    But these new iMacs make a complete mockery of that because they don't represent very well what Apple stands for. "If" I bought a PC I would honestly expect some problems here & there. Its just part and parcel of the PC package. And although I don't expect Macs to be 100% perfect 100% of the time, I certainly expect better than this diabolical shambles that is the new iMac.
    Just as an example.. My 4 year old G4 powerbook.. Not 100% problem free, granted. But mighty close. However, it has not crashed once the entire time I have had it. My new iMac however, crashed 4 times yesterday alone, and it didn't even get used as much as my old powerbook.
    Maybe now you get the picture a little better?
    Just my 2 kernel panics worth...

  • HT1918 My father has a new email address, whenever we try to sign into his apple account, it comes up with his old email address and asking for his password, I created a new account with his new email address, however I cannot download the eprint app.

    My dad's email has changed, he cannot remember his password under his old itunes email account. Whenever he tries to download apps on his new iphone with his new email address, it is asking for his password for his "old email" account. We created a new itunes account with his new email address, but whenever we try to install an app, it keeps asking for his password and shows his old email address. What is the best way to solve this problem?

    Hi Vivian Zollman,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I'm not sure if you are referring to your Apple ID or just your email account in the Mail app.  So, I've included all of the articles that may be relevant for you.

  • Recently in the Bahamas where I helped a friend with his new iPad. We could not find Bahamas in initial setup so we used United States and could not enter Visa/MC billing address in Bahamas. iTunes rejected, billing info is not what's on file. What to do?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
    Every problem has a solution!

  • HT1420 Feeling really stupid with my new MAC - I can't find the "Store" menu in iTunes as referenced in the support article on how to authorize a computer.  Where is that menu option?  I've looked all over the page, in my account, etc.

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac?

    How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.

    Yes, you can ..

    You may not have the iPod's Music tab set up in iTunes, which is how you tell iTunes how to automatically sync your iPod.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.
    To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked.  Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
    With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab.  For example, you can make a playlist in iTunes with all the songs you want on the iPod.  That new album needs to be on that playlist, if you want those songs synced to the iPod.  On the Music tab, checkmark that playlist.
    When you Apply the change, your selection of songs sync to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
    Therefore, if you create a playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs), and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity.

  • Will AppleWorks work with my new iMac?

    Hi,
    I just purchased a new iMac / 24", 2.8 GHz, CD2, and I was just wondering if my old AppleWorks disc 6.2.9. will work with the new iMac. I am currently running 10.5.6.
    Or should I use the new iWork instead?
    Any information anyone could provide would be most helpful.
    John

    Hi John,
    AppleWorks will run well on your new iMac.
    Whether you should switch completely to iWork depends on what parts of AppleWorks you use.
    iWork's biggest deficiency (as noted in Yvan's signature line) is the lack of a database application. If you use AppleWorks's database module, there is nothing in iWork that will replaces it (although iWork '09 does have some list management and merge capabilities). You may also find some difficulty transfering Paint and Draw documents.
    Other than that, the change should be pretty easy. iWork applications will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing (Pages), Spreadsheet (Numbers) and Presentation (Keynote) documents. They will not open AW Draw, Paint or Database documents. Nor will they open any AW documents made with AW 5 or any version of ClarisWorks.
    Best route:
    -Install AW 6.2.9 on the iMac using the installer disk or by moving the whole AppleWorks 6 folder from one machine to the other. Remember to remove AW from the old machine to stay within the single user terms of your AW licence.
    -Download and install the 30 day trial of iWork '09.
    -Spend some time over the next 30 days getting familiar with the iWork applications, then make your decision.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Sorry this may sound a bit stupid but do you get any discs at all with a new iMac, such as restore discs if anything goes wrong?

    I just purchased a new Imac yesterday, this is the first time with an Imac so please be gentle with me. I noticed that there was no software discs at all with this Imac and I am wondering what would happen if I need to re-install at a later date especially the OS. Do you get any discs with a new Imac?

    No.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

    There's iOS apps for iOS which is what iPods, iPads, and iPhones use.  Then there are Mac Apps (which is a different store) which is what run on a computer with OSX.

  • External startup disks will not start with my new iMac

    My external devices which are startup disks will not start when connected to my iMac, although it appears in the bootable drive selections after the chime sound, using the option (Alt) key. I get the bootable drive selections and when selecting it all I get is a gray screen with the apple logo and that is it. No matter how long I wait the start up does not happen. I am sure that the external device is not damaged because there is no problem to use it as a startup device when connected to my MacBook Pro.
    Otherwise the devices work as they should. If I connect them to my iMac then they will appear on the desktop, etc. The only thing which does not work is that they cannot be used as startup disks, even though they work fine as startup disks if connected to my MacBook Pro.

    Based on your description it is very hard to tell what is going on.
    You appear to have an i7 iMac. That model was delivered with Snow Leopard (10.6.x).
    My guess is that your external disks may have a version of OS X that predates the version supplied with your new iMac. You cannot run an earlier version of OS X than what was delivered with your Mac.
