Just had an iMac

hi, i just bought an iMac after having a family pc for YEARS, the thing is i need help with my iPhone. i have paired my iPhone with the pc obviously so i have the contacts and everything going over but now i want to move all that to my iMac, this includes all my music, video, calenders, contacts, pictures etc. basically everything =]
P.S. i dont mean to sound like a noob but i would like some help please =]]

The best thing to use for music, pictures etcetera is "Migration Assistant". To find out how to use this go to "Switch 101" it is located on the support page in the lower left hand corner. This will tell you the variety of ways to get your data transferred including migration assistant.
-Good Luck

Help! I have had my iMac G5 fitted with new Logic Board but it doesn't work

Help! I have had my iMac G5 fitted with new Logic Board but it doesn't work
I have just had my iMac G5 First Gen 1.8Ghz fitted with a new Logic Board under the Apple Repair Extension Programme for iMacs.
I got the iMac home from the repairers and switched it on and everything was working fine for about 2 hours and then all of a sudden the Error Page came up on the Screen (with a big On/Off Switch Logo) and it said I had to shut down.
So I shut it down waited a few minutes and then tried to re-boot it but nothing happened. All that happended was the Power Light in the Right hand corner came on..but nothing else....
Help! Any ideas what to do please?

If you have an external firewire drive (it has to be firewire, USB won't boot on a Rev A), plug it in to the firewire port and turn it on, then boot your iMac and see if it shows on the screen.
Have you tried to hit the eject (up arrow, the last button on the top row of the keyboard) button when you boot, perhaps the repairers left a disc in the drive? Then try and put your install disc in.

I just had a new hard drive installed on my iMac

i just had a new hard drive installed on my iMac (due to the Seagate replacement program) i was able to migrate my back up(i think) but its now acting like a new computer and i can't get past the registration screen. I filled everything out but the "continue" button won't highlight and let me cxontinue.

Ah the mac wants to play games..
Ok, You should be able to click on continue twice so to skip it.
What version is the OS you restored? Or did you just perform Migration Assistant on it?

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting?

One possibility is that you may need to "Upgrade" your Cable /DSL Modem if you have an older unit. ISP's that provide your Internet service in recent years have been switching over from DOCSIS 2.1 version Modems to DOCSIS 3.0 version Modems, which handle the new higher data streaming speeds the ISP's are offering. I would suggest you call your ISP's Technical Support and inquire about this possibility.

IMac, just had repaired new Harddrive erase deverything,wheres my iPhoto n all those apps, i know the gone from hard drive but i thought they would transfer from my phone

iMac, just had repaired new Harddrive erase deverything,wheres my iPhoto n all those apps, i know the gone from hard drive but i thought they would transfer from my phone? HELP ?

Those Apps would not transfer from your iPhone because the iPhone apps are iOS 5 based and the iMac apps are OSX based. They are not the same Apps. You will need to transfer the OSX based apps over from your external hardware backup you have kept up, Or you can reinstall the OSX based apps from their original DVD's.
Hope this helps

I just had Uverse installed. The iMac which was my base station is now connected via my household electric ground connection. Another computer is now the base station. I have connected my Time Capsule to my computer by USB cable, but can't set it up

I just had Uverse installed. My iMac desktop has been the base station for my wi fi, but we had to connect it via ground wire of my electrical system and use another desktop as the base station [with windows op system]. We have connected my Time Capsule to the computer via USB cable. I believe that will require setting up the Capsule to use Ethernet, but the instructiions on the install disc only talk about using Airport. How can I find instructions for setting up using USB cable and Ethernet?
Thanks!

The TC cannot connect to the computer by USB.. it is network device.. it only connects by ethernet or wireless.. usb is for external drive or printer.

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane and let them deal with it.

My ipad 2 is a few months old now and has just had its first glitch, it will sync ok as long as I have no photo sync selected, as soon as I select to sync any photos off my imac it mentions that no sync is possible because a file is missing? What file?

ipad 2, it says version 4.3.5, has just had its first glitch. It will not sync iphoto but everything else sync's ok. I did restore to factory settings because it came up with (error -50) now it mentions a file is missing, but no longer mentions (error -50). This is the first problem I have had.

If the cache isn't the issue, click 50 on this page > iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages

HT2477 I just purchased the IMac and was in the process of setting it up and got locked out. A password is being requested and I did not establish one. Is there a default password for the imac?

I just purchased the iMac and was in the process of setting it up and it locked up, requiring me to put in a password. I never established a password, does the iMac have a default password?

If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

Go to your Applications folder>Utilities>AirportUtility.app>and there set up your Airport service. Then return to your Applications folder>Sytem Preferences>Network> and there turn on the WiFi on your iMac.

Just back from:iMac G5 Repair Extension Program. No start/black screen.

O.K. Now what's wrong? I just got the IMac G5 back today. Plugged it in with the key board and mouse attached only. It will not start up completely. The light comes on, the screen is black, then the fans speed up. Pram reset, safe mode do not work. Tried several times.
Any help appreciated,
Greg
Imac G5 1.8 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

That is so surprising! And wow, my heart goes out to you. That really *****! BUT, there may be a very good reason or at least one that Apple didnt catch intially. Yea, I would most certainly call AppleCare now, if you havent already.
Let us know what happened if you think of it. I'd be interested to see what happened. Maybe this might be time to ask for a replacement. I know for me and my first generation iMac G5 it was a long, long frustrating relationship. I swear I dont think any of the early ones are safe. It just seems like such a troubled, flawed model. I am glad now that they fixed the issues. My 2.1 iSight iMac G5 has worked flawlessly for the 5 months I have had it. ( Knock wood.)

Hi i just bought a iMac 24'' and i can't seem to load the cd drive it will not grab it in!! can anyone please advise? thanks john

hi i just bought a iMac 24'' and i can't seem to load the cd drive it doesnt do anything!! can anyone help?
thanks

The last 24" was a 2009 model and they started in 2006, so which one is yours?
Here is a list of all 24" models:

All of them had a built in Superdrive. It could be dirt (easy fix) or a malfunctioning mechanism (happened on mine) - in that case, it would have to be replaced and you may be better off getting an external drive (less expensive).
And, you said it has 10.8.5 installed? Did the seller give you the original install DVDs? You will need those sooner or later.
