Is USB3 a fast enough connection for 2013 iMac and Lacie 500gb 7200rpm drive?
Hi everyone,
I'm brand new here having just bought my first Apple product ever.
I'm planning to do some video editing taking mini DVACM video from from my Sony PD100AP. I do not expect to be doing complex video effects but want nice transitions including colur and sound corrections for approximately 1 to 1.5 hour DVD's.
I am planning to use an external drive to hold video files which seems to be the norm.
My question is, is the USB3 connection as good as some of the hype suggests? Will the data be transferred without loss or problems?
1 of my Mac's thunderbolt ports is currently feeding a second monitor and I am planning to connect the camera via the second thunderbolt port. I am hoping the USB3 will be sufficient to feed video to a Lacie 500GB 7200rpm external drive. I know the Lacie is not big but they are quite reasonably priced and have very good consumer feedback compared with other similar Lacies. I am prepared to buy more drives as new projects come along. I feel that having many drives is safer if something fails.

USB3 will work fine for your projects and will work fine if you later decide to start cutting HD material.

Fast enough computer for LabView?
Hello, I would like to know if I have a fast enough computer for the
application I'm developing. I have just ordered the PCI/232-16 Serial
Interface card from National Instruments and plan to use it with a
Pentium 150 running Windows NT with 64MB of memory. I'm writing the
LabView program to contain 16 individual while loops for each ports of
the interface card (that's 16 while loops, just to let you know). I'll
be constantly writing and reading from the ports and displaying the data
read by the port. If anyone can comment on what I have so far, or can
say anything about how fast LabView code executes, I'd greatly
appreciate it.
Thanks,
JoeI may be wrong about this, but most NI cards seem to use a single UART and
timeshare it - this could cause you serious problems if you are aniticipating
being able to read and write from all 16 ports simultaneously. I'd check
the hardware specification for that NI card closely before worrying about
the computer being fast enough. I've had to revert to Comtrol RocketPorts
in the past because of this issue.
Cheers,
Ben

I have a problem.
I bought Pages and Numbers for my iMac and so far everything was OK.
Suddenly i have a problem with connection to iCloud.
Dokuments created on iMac in Pages or Numbers are not transfered to iCloud. Not uploaded to iCloud. There is a sign (small shape of iCloud), that they are waiting to be uploaded to iCloud.
I think the iCloud is OK.
i can see and manage documents in iCloud. i can create them on iPad and see them and delete them in iCloud.
But not on iMac.
i dont know what has happened and I am not abble to find the solution. It was OK till some days ago….I have a similar problem! Everything stopped working after upgrading to Mac OS 10.8.4 through the App Store. Help!

got a new wireless connection for my mac and cannot figure out how to delete the last connection service I had. Everytime I shut the computer, the network goes back to the other one. I cannot find the file ANYWHERE
Under Network Preferences, select the WiFi
click on "Advanced..." button
Select the network you want to delete from the list and click on "-"
Click "Ok"
Click "Apply"
Well done ;-)
You may also want to delete the wireless key from Keychain.
Open Keychain, seach for the old wifi network name, slect it and click delete -
My iPHone is connected to my iMac, and I want to transfer files from iMace to IPhone. Instructions say to go to iTunes, look under Devices for my Device. I do so, and no devices are listed. How do I get iTunes to recognize my iPhone?
Make sure your iMac is on 10.6.8 or higher and your iTunes is up to date. If it is, then restart your computer, open iTunes, then plug in your device. If it still is not showing up, follow the steps listed here: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home. I have a cable modem. Help please!
If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password. -
How do I transfer my applications from a 2010 iMac to a new 2013 iMac that has a Fusion Drive?
What is the best way to transfer my Applications from a 2010 iMac to a 2013 iMac that has a Fusion Drive. I am particularly concerned about losing all my old mail. My documents have already been transferred.
The best way is to make a backup of your old iMac. Do this either by cloning to an external hard drive through SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. OR Use Time Machine.
Then set up your new iMac using either Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant.

I have a Panasonic camcorder PV-GS65 and I used to be able to connect to my iMac and my machine would automatically recognize the camera, rewind the tape, and start the import process as soon as I turned the device on and it was connected. Now my iMac does not even see my device
Any suggestions?You cannot install the apps on the car.
The cars head unit is merely acting as an interface to the apps on the device.
If you want to use those apps in the car, plug the device in and leave it plugged in. -

Is there a WSOP download for the iMac and if so where do I get it?
Is there a WSOP download for the imac and if so where can I get it?
WSOP meaning what, exactly? World Series of Poker? If that's what you mean, they appear to have applications only for mobile devices or Windows, assuming you want to play.

Used the right memory according to page, both for my iMac and MacBook Pro, iMac worked, MacBook Pro didn't start (warning tone).
Any idea?I suggest you buy your memory from OWC or DataMem. Both guarantee the memory works or will replace it if it does not, no questions asked, within their 30 day return period. I've used both for over 20 years, and no complaints.

I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this
I took away my backup disk with me so just took it from there excellent. I am back home at present working on my imac. When I go to use my macbook air on these projects (when away on boat) is it easiest to simply copy the Project and Events folders in total from my imac onto the other machine and do the same upon my return in reverse? I don't use icloud
