Just bought my first imac , love it, i have edited some photos using iphot but after loading them on face book they are the originals not the edited photo , why is this ?
i thought i had saved them , but there doesn't seem to be a save button etc , please help
From the iPhoto menu bar click iPhoto / Empty iPhoto Trash.
Quit then relaunch iPhoto. Try editing an image then uploading to FB.
And when you upload to FB, make sure you use the Share button bottom right side of the iPhoto window.

Hello. I just bought my first Imac. Each family member has created an account. My question is: can each person use imessages privately when logged into their account? instead of everyone seeing everyones imessages? is there a way to do this?
I believe the short answer tot that is "yes" however I recommend you contact AppleCare to find out You have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support when you buy any new Mac. This is the ideal time to begin using it. I'd also recommend that you purchase AppleCare, it will extend your 1 year warranty to 3 years and offer you 3 years of telephone support in addition to other services. You can locate the correct phone number in your part of the planet (Calgary, Canada??) by clicking Contact Apple for support and service

Hello all,
I just purchased my first imac. I got the higher end 27" iMac. I'm a little nervous about even opening the box lol, because it is bigger than it appears to be! I'm afraid that it might not fit on my desk. I am not totally new to Mac I work on them at school, but this is my first time owning one so I will be jumping in with both feet. I have a few questions please.
First off I have been searching for a good first time imac owner group or blog but can't find anything current. Can anyone point me to something in this regard? My experience with iMacs are basically turning them one and opening an app to work in. Also, how sturdy are these computers? I want to put it in my bedroom as I have four little ones running around the house and I don't want them knocking it over. I just have a little desk that we had in my son's room for his laptop and im not sure if it will be a good fit. Third I only got the 8g ram with it. I plan to be running Adobe products like Photoshop and Illustrator. Will the 8g be enough to run these programs or should I plan on getting more?
Thanks and I'm real excited to be owning an iMac of my own! Been wanting one for years and finally got it!
gmdoggiesHi gmdoggies & welcome to the ASC.
I'm no expert, but I can tell you this. Unless someone with a higher level rating (than that of yours truly) tells you otherwise... you WILL be needing more RAM if you plan on using Photoshop.
It's a catch-22 situation as you could add more RAM yourself later, but that would void your warrantee w/Apple. If I were you I would refrain from adding anything (3rd party software; confidential personal information; etc... to your new machine until you speak w/ an Apple Store Representative regarding the matter of having Apple installing more RAM for you so as to NOT void your warranty. There may be a certain window of time for you to consider the options available to you... I can't speak for Apple. I'm only a volunteer as we all are here. If I remember correctly, Apple used to have a policy that you could upgrade a basic warranty within a certain period of time to an extended warranty (3 years). I would imagine that an "Apple-sanctioned" memory upgrade may well be a considerably shorter period of time. Don't worry as others here will chime in here to help you. I'm sure that they are typing away as I type away. It's all good.
Yes, Apple has a high profit margin; notably on their RAM. But if you wait till the warranty runs out (as I did) and added more RAM yourself (as I did) you would be saving a good chunk of money. The rather ominous caveat here is that to void your warranty is a risk; a big risk. If Apple allows you to bring your machine in (within a certain amount of time) & have them upgrade the RAM contingent on their willingness to do so whereby you keep your warranty intact then I would seriously consider that alternative considering your wish to use Adobe Photoshop (versus Adobe Photoshop Elements). As far as using Illustrator, I cannot speak to that as I have no experience w/that or with Photoshop. It is well known that Adobe Photoshop needs plenty of RAM. I'm sure that someone here within ASC can chime in on that.
Now, there are two levels of warranties available. The basic warranty and the extended warranty. I have no idea which one that you have. I did not spring for the extended warranty with my iMac which continues to work fine for 6 years now. I quadrupled my RAM about two years ago without a hitch. Whoa! What a difference that made; it was like I bought a new machine!
Then again, when I was in college I got an awesome Apple G3 Tower with an extended warrantee and it needed a new motherboard within a few months. Yikes! That took an Apple Store about 3-4 weeks to replace (the motherboard, not the machine). So actually the extended warranty meant nothing but peace of mind for the next 2.5 years. But then again, I needed that peace of mind at the time.
A rule of thumb for many people re: warranties vs. extended warranties is if the machine in question works fine for a reasonable length of time, then you probably have a dependable machine. What is a reasonable length of time? You have to determine that yourself using due diligence & absorbing feedback from others. Much like any investment you need to weigh the risks.
The good news is there are lots of helpful, knowledgable & experienced members here in the ASC to get feedback from.

Just bought my first iMac, quick question about bootcamp
Hello,
I'm finally upgrading my 6 year Dell with a new 27" iMac.
This is my first Apple desktop, but I will use bootcamp to have the ability to boot into windows (since I still use windows for work and still have a lot of windows programs I use)
My question is related to an external harddrive.
I'd like to have one external drive with all of my media type files (music, videos...etc) and share the drive between to the Mac and Windows bootcamp partitions.
Can anyone let me know what is best way to format the drive so it can read/write on both Mac and Windows?
Fat32 probably would work because I don't think I have any files larger than 4GB, but what about the ExFat format. Is this my best option.
I figure I'd ask the experts so I don't have to reformat the drive multiple times.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
ThanksThe best thing is to format the drive NTFS or OS X, then get third-party software to enable compatibility. For example you can use NTFS for Mac 10.0.2 or Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.6 to enable write capability to an NTFS formatted drive from OS X. From Windows you could use MediaFour's MacDrive software that enables Windows to read and write an OS X formatted drive.
NTFS maintains the highest level of compatibility when moving files back and forth. -

I tried everything to change it but nothing would work, I seen a tutorial online on how to do it using terminal, suso, I didn't really know what I was doing but I gave it a go, entered the existing name and then entered my name, I then confirmed with password, everything seemed fine, I restarted my computer and when I booted up I had lost everything, all the apps had gone, mail, files, everything?! This mac had the full adobe 6 suite on and I'm really gutted, I had also transfer loads of things over from my pc, which are no longer there!! Is there any way to get this back? Like on a pc, running the pc from a week ago? Any help would be much appreciated as I don't really know what I'm doing, thanks
It appears that you really screwed things up. If the machine had CS 6 on it, the seller should have provided the discs and registration info. Since that machine shipped with Snow Leopard, you should start from scratch. Boot with disc one, launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select the HD, erase and reformat it, then select zero out data from the security options. Once the HD is wiped clean, quit Disk Utility, and select install the operating system. Once installed and it reboots, personalize the machine to suit your needs. Once up an running, see these:

I used my existing apple ID when I purchased a second iPhone for my business.. Now all my texts are coming to both phones.. Is there a way to create a new apple account for my business phone and if so.. How do I delete one and add another?
Yes, you can have two separate Apple IDs, and it's pretty easy to set this up. Go into Settings > iTunes & App Store on your business phone. You should see your current Apple ID. Tap on it, then tap on sign out. You can then create a new Apple ID, using a different email address and password than those associated with the Apple ID on your other phone. Log back in using this new information, and you shouldn't get the texts that come to your other phone.
Hope this helped! -
I have just bought my first MacBook Air do you need antivirus software?
I have just bought my first MacBook Air should I have antivirus software like you do for a Windows base PC?
I don't recommend anti-virus software for a Mac. Such software often causes more issues than it solves.
Be careful about the websites you visit, the links you follow, and the attachments you open and you should be fine. -
I just bought a new IMAC and I want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?
Howard has the easiest answer. Or at least, cheapest, since you don't need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive.
The "demo" software from Microsoft's site is exactly the same as what's on the DVD. Install that and activate it with the key in your software box.
From Microsoft's site:
How do I install Office for Mac 2011 if my Mac doesn't have a DVD drive?
There are two options for installing Office for Mac if your Mac doesn't have a DVD drive.
Option 1: Convert your Office for Mac 2011 trial. To convert a trial version, you must have a valid product key. The product key will convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
1. Locate the 25-character product key in your product package or confirmation email.
2. Open any Office for Mac application, like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
3. On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click Enter your Product Key.
4. Enter your product key and complete the installation instructions.
Option 2: If you have not previously installed the trial version, you can download Office for Mac from the Office for Mac website. To download, install, and activate the software you must have a valid Office 2011 product key.
1. Locate your 25-character product key found in your product package or confirmation email.
2. Go to www.officeformac.com/download
3. Click Get Started to start the download process.
4. When prompted, enter your 25-character product key and select your product language.
5. When prompted, sign in with your Windows Live ID or sign up and create a new Windows Live ID account.
6. After you enter your Windows Live ID, you will see a link to download the software. (You will also receive a confirmation email with a link to your My Account page if you prefer to wait and download your software at a later time.)
7. Click Download Now to start the download.
8. Save the file to your desktop. Do not change the file name.
9. When the download is complete, double-click the .dmg file icon on your desktop. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
10. Follow the instructions in the installer screens to complete your installation. -
I bought Lightroom 3 or 4, can't remember which, as an online download. I then upgraded to 5 with a CD. I registered the upgrade on my Adobe account and that's where the serial number is. I just bought a new iMac and am trying to install Lightroom. The system is asking for my original serial number which I don't have. The point is. If I have the upgrade registered with my Adobe account, shouldn't that be proof that an earlier version was on my computer??? I'm really stuck. Need some advice! Thanks
LindaHi John,
Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

Ive just bought my 1st iMac for my home. I need to do a presentation for work but having only ever used my old work HP laptop I'm struggling to find how to do a powerpoint presentation. Can anyone help?
Keynote is fantastic. If you'd like a few tutorials to help get going go to MacMost.com type keynote in the seaarch box and Gary will have some easy to to follow videos for you as quick start. Seriously you will love Keynote once you find your way around it. I've used it to make presentations that I turned into video for YouTube. Lots of luck.

I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere any way to connect this two mac’s anyway??
Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system. 10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines. Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist. There are no Firewire to USB cables.
