Just got an imac today and some problems
Love the way it looks but I have some problems.
1. I cannot get online. I have my old g4 here and i have a cable modem. I've been online for years and have never ben asked for info. Now I try to get online with the imac and it's asked for a DHCP client ID or any PPPoE info . Both of which I don't have an answer for.
2. I'm trying to transfer all my files from my G4 to my Imac. I have the firewire cable hooked up and for some reason, the G4 isn't recognizing the firewire cable - even when I restart while holding the T down.
Ugh.
You may need to consult your cable company for the correct login information if you're using a cable modem. Your new Mac doesn't know how it's supposed to connect.
If you have a router you can enable DHCP and the router will do the rest. If you're using a modem then you need to enter the correct PPPoE settings in order to connect to your service provider.

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?
To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab. -
I just bought an IMac today and found on "about this IMac" that it is of late 2013.
1. Does anyone knows if 2013 refers to the release or production year?
2. I use an enclosed HD from my old IMac for the set up, upon completion, only my documents and calendar are transferred, emails, Imessages, stickies, notes, music and photos are not. From what I understand EVERYTHING can be transferred, am I right? If I am right, can I re do the set up process again ? And how?
ThanksOn Q2, simply connect the EHD to the new machine and you can drag and drop. If the EHD is a backup HD (Time Machine or a Clone) then you can use Migration Assistant to migrate the data over. Also open the Mac App Store and update the new iMac, 10.1.1 is out of date now. Update it to 10.10.3 and install any other recommended updates. You should check for updates at least once a month and install all recommended updates.

New iPod Nano 6th generation just got it going today. It is fully charged but shuts off a few seconds into a song, what do I do?
I received mine yesterday as replacement for 1st generation and yes I had exactly the same problem.
I don't think it is anything to do with headphone plug [jack].
I played around with the settings and have just managed to listen to three hours without problem.
Music settings; shake to shuttle off, sound check off, double click - play/pause, audio cross fade and group compilation on. Can't be all these but trial and error as to which one - unfortunately it came without instructions.
The only other thing was that I had it in pocket while i was moving whereas yesterday I was sat at desk with nano at rest.

I just got my iPhone today from Sprint and connected it to iTunes but it's telling me iTunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. My Safari works somewhat fine but my apps won't load... what's wrong? They're able to start up and then they tell me they're unable to connect. My e-mail that was supposed to be set up earlier disconnected and wouldn't work until I reconnected my wifi and worked for a moment I believe. Now on the bottom of my inbox it keeps saying "checking for mail..." On top of that I think my safari randomly slows down at times because when I started typing this I could move around websites fine and now it's barely loading.
Time for a restore. Once you do make sure you set the phone up as a new iPhone.

Any help would be appreciatedProblem was fixed by rebooting the ipadmini using on/off switch on the side of the ipad
Got the advice from a related previous discussion -
Just got FiOS installed today and was given a horrible DVR. Is this normal?
The box is a Motorola QIP6416-2. After an endless installation, I finally got to sit down and play with my new service and was shocked that:
The DVR guide was not in HD. It's pillarboxed, fuzzy and very hard to read.
The performance of the interface is glacial. It often chokes during usage, queuing up button presses then performing them all at once. Just flipping through the guide is painful.
The signal is limited to 1080i. I'm probably just mistaken, but I swear I read that FiOS was 1080p.
The picture is not particularly crisp despite what Verizon claims in its adverts. The HD channels I looked at had a softness to them (though no pixelation).
The guide itself is terribly designed, just an awful, awful user experience. I can't believe I'm saying that after coming from Time Warner Cable's DVR!
A quick Google search turned up complaints about this DVR from 2010; that's like 15 years in technology!
I spoke to a Verizon rep and he said that I can upgrade to a 7216 (He offered this VERY reluctanlty and insisted he had to justify it by saying my current DVR was defective. **bleep**?), but he swore up and down that all of the above issues would exist on all boxes. He also mentioned the ability to pay an upgrade fee for a 7232 500GB box, but said it would only buy more storage and not better performance.
Any suggestions or advice about the various models and which I should be looking to get?
So far, not a great experience with FiOS, I'm disappointed.JohnCF wrote:
The 7232 is just a 7216 with the 500GB drive instead of the 160GB drive.
Nope. The 7232 has more memory (although the same size drive), has a faster CPU and newer chipsets. It is also "greener" using less power.
Also most 7216's now going out have 500gb drives instead of the original 160bg. And probably all are refurbished rather than new. -

A lot of what are from the iTunes Store?
Your post doesn't make much sense really. Where did you get the songs from?
If you purchased them from the iTunes Store, then the artwork should have come with the song when you downloaded it.
But since you have not specifically stated that you have purchased from the Store, my question is have you downloaded songs from a different store or from yet another source? If so, did that source undertake to provide artwork?
Have you imported these songs from your own CDs?
MP3 files from other sources, such as (legally obtained) downloads from artist websites etc. do not always have artwork imbedded in them.
Amazon MP3 songs do have the artwork embedded. I assume other MP3 stores also provide the artwork. But then, assumptions are not always correct.
Songs that you import from your CDs do not have the artwork embedded in the CD version. The artwork is obtained for you by iTunes - if you have the setting turned on (see in iTunes, Edit/Preferences/General>>When you import a CD>>automatically download missing artwork) In this situation, if artwork is not supplied, it may be because iTunes doesn't have (legal) access to that artwork. In other words, they don't sell the album, so are unable to supply the artwork. In that case, a simple Google of the album should find the artwork which you can then copy into the album in iTunes.
As a last resort, I use my printer's in-built scanner to scan my CD cover and then paste that into the album's artwork box.
If I haven't answered your question, it's because you haven't supplied enough information.

I just got an iphone today and switched from a galaxy samsung and am trying to get my contacts?
Trying to get my contacts from my samsung stratsophere to my new iphone 4s
Where were your contacts stored? On the SIM? Or in a Google account? Or what?
If the former, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Import SIM Contacts, if your previous phone uses the same size SIM card (Micro SIM) as your iPhone, and you have put it in your iPhone.
If the latter, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account, put in your credentials, and make sure Contacts is ON. -
Can anybody help?
Funds cannot be transferred from one Apple ID account to another.

My Macbook has died. Mail and Firefox wouldn’t boot up today and so I turned it off at the button. Now I’ve just got a spinning wheel and nothing works. In the middle of doing a magazine too, altho I did some backup on a stick.
Any suggestions?Try rebooting while holding down the Command and R keys (two keys).
If you see an icon for Recovery, select it and continue.
Then select Disk Utiltiy and press Return.
Now select the hard drive and the Repair Disk.
Quit DU when that is done and restart. -

Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones but it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.
This is not a feature of iPhone, iPad or iOS.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone
devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the
app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device. (thanks to ckuan for the wording)

Mail Dock icon "new mail" count wrong
The Mail icon in my dock shows 11 new mails. I open Mail and there is no new mail. The icon then shows none, then a bit later it shows 11 again. If I get a real new mail it will show 12 new mails. The actual number of new mail adds to the phantom 11.

I am running OS X Lion 10.7.4 on a new MacBook Pro (mid 2012). I am noticing that when I reply to a message in iMail, often times the message is not marked as being replied to. This stays true if I forward the message also. Any thoughts? Mike
