Mac user since 2004. Been waiting for new iMac 2012. Need DVD
Hi there!!! I'm a videographer/photographer guy and been using mac since 2004. Don't want to come back to windows ever.
I'm going to buy the iMac upgrade once the first batch of this things is gone and they've fix their bugs. But I need a DVD, I do weddings and brides want to see their face on a DVD. My clients know what a DVD is; have no idea what a cloud is, other than that thing in the sky that carries water. Can't change that. The DVD solution should be better... Hope the big guys from apple listen because in their presentation they said "for those who live in the past there's an external dvd".
Firewire is another concern I use a lot of devices in firewire 400 and 800 the meere thought of plug and unplug stuff kills me. I think they should do a model with more USB and Thunderbolt slots... 4 and 2 is very low count for me. And let’s not forget I bought those devices because I’ve got a mac and they work way better than USB system.
I hope they don't forget the audio/video guys. They've already forgot G5 and G4 users long time ago. I know it I've owned a G5. Good machines but forgoten.

¿I need antivirus for new iMac (2012)?
It's my first Mac. I want to say if antivirus is necessary in the 2012 new iMac (21'5 ").
If I need one, tell me about the best antivirus and where I download it, please.
Thanx!This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an attacker who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
Note, however, that there are some caveats concerning Gatekeeper:
It can be disabled or overridden by the user.
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article. That being said, the best defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
“Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is a weak point in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install it unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability and poor performance.
By modifying the system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. Using it to delete or move email messages can corrupt the Mail database. Such messages must be deleted from within the Mail application. ClamXav is not needed for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. If you don't need to do that, avoid it. Windows malware can't harm you directly. Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, like a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use. -

I love AI love Apple. I own an iMac, a MacbookPro, an iPad, and an iPhone. I’ve been a loyal Mac user since the ‘80’s. But, please, when are you going to do something about iCal and its Reminders component? Attaching documents is clumsy. If you’re on iCloud, as I am, repeating events is impossible. The ability to copy text or graphics into either events or Reminders doesn’t really exist. This is an easy fix. Why not get it done?
Maybe things will improve this summer,

Any news on ios 8.0.3 update? Been waiting for it coz of my slow wifi connection after i updated my iphone 5s to ios 8.
I have heard rumours of an 8.1 update for developers. I just found another bug in 10.9.5. I am beginning to think that nobody should touch any update from Apple until they can get their very serious Q/A problems sorted out. This is getting bad.

After upgrading my ipad to ios7, its battery is getting charged way too fast and it drains at the same rate. I have been waiting for a new software update,to fix this, and nothing yet.....
Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

I have been waiting for two days for an app to install on my iPad. Seems like something is stuck as it just keeps displaying "installing". Can not see where I can delete and start over and it's preventing me from updating or downloading any more games. Acts like a corrupt file or something. Can anyone help solve this problem? Thanks
Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
doubt there's an issue there.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
(and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
Thanks.... -
Just what I have been waiting for.
I am no spreadsheet master (I have virtually no Excel experience) but there was a time that I could make the Appleworks do what I wanted. However, it has been a while since I found using tables in Pages was much better for charting the information I was producing.
I also know, as I have read through these discussions, that people are dismayed by the limits of Numbers, however, I think it's important to remember that Apple does listen to its customers. Furthermore, anyone remember iTunes 1.0? Since then it has become groundbreaking for music and entertainment. That said, I am confident the same thing will happen with Numbers. Just keep sending the feedback.
As for me, I think it will handle my needs just fine. I like the crisp look, I like being able to use different fonts and styles in a box, I like the check boxes . . . yet there is so much more for me to learn. It's just what I have been waiting for.I think most of what you hear in here complaint wise is from professionals that access those 10% of functions that 90% of users never use.
Agreed. Unfortunately I work with some of those 10% functions when I bring work home from the office
Numbers is a fantastic effort for the majority of users and will undoubtedly improve. For those of us who used Appleworks where we could and went to Excel for PC compatibility and/or heavier lifting, we now can move work to Numbers.
In the meantime, those of us who use those 10% functions should provide official feedback to Apple using clear and professional language. -
