MB ram compatible with iMac?
Hi,
i have a MacBook1,1 and i did a ram upgrade (from 1 to 2), so i have 2x512M rams, my father have a iMac20" first gen with 512M ram.
Is it possible to put the ram from the MB into the iMac?
if it's only a slot free in iMac, is best to replace the existing ram with the one from the MB?
thanks
ciprian
Hi ciprian,
all Intel-Macs, with the exception of the Mac Pro, use the same 'kind' of RAM modules with the same specs.
So, yes, you can use the 2 modules in the iMac.
And yes, I would advise to put both in and put the one already in aside.
Have Fun
Stefan

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?
A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing! -
wiil my PC extermnal dvd player and external hard drive be compatible with iMac ore do I have to by all new stuff?
Can data be recovered from Hard drive and transfered to new iMac simply?
Thank you for your time and consioderation,
depending on this answer will decide if i change over to iMac or not
PierreAll USB drives should be compatible hardware-wise. If the drive is formatted NTFS, then you can copy from it, but not write to it. If it is formatted FAT or exFAT, then you can both read and write.

NERO burned DVDs not compatible with iMacs?
Can anyone confirm that DVDs burned with NERO
(in this case NTSC, Region 0/NO region code)
are not compatible with iMacs' DVD player?
When I insert these DVDs they get mounted, but DVD player can't play them.
Is there a way to fix this?
Or does the maker of the DVDs have to use special settings in NERO
to make them compatible?
Thanks!Hi coxorange;
Since Nero is not an Apple product, I suggest you ask the vendor who wrote it.

Latest Blu-Ray burner compatible with iMac 2012 model?
What is the best, latest external Blu-Ray player and burner compatible with iMac?
I cannot get a real clear answer anywhere.... It also needs to run in both OSX Lion and Windows through Parallels software.....
Please can I have makes and models and what is he best iMac software to use? ThanksApple has shunned the Blu-ray format. If you need a Blu-ray drive look at the reviews @ the MacWorld website.
Be prepared to bleed through the nose for this technology on the Mac side. -
What OCR (optical Character recognition) software is compatible with iMac?
What OCR (optical Character recognition) software is compatible with iMac?
I am using OS X 10.9.1 on my iMac with an Epson CX8600 printer/scanner.My new Brother multifunction came with Presto PageManager. I can't recommend that it in the least. Its OCR is terribly inaccurate to the point of being unusable in my tests. Even normal sentences came out mashed together.
I wanted to try IRIS, but it has no test version, just videos, that I could find, and emails to them just led to a Windows demo that is irrelevant. They ignored my email asking about a Mac demo, so I could not even try it out. That pretty much knocks it out of the running for me as this software is too expensive to just buy based on their promotional videos alone.
Then there's Vuescan, and it's not too bad for OCR and supports about every device you could possibly conceive of using, and that's a plus. It was fairly accurate, but not as accurate as Finereader Pro. The interface is a bit complex to my taste.
I've been testing out ABBYY Finereader Pro, and they do have a demo, and so far it seems to be the most accurate of what I've been able to test. It gets pretty close to everything on English and Spanish, and supports most common languages (check the list on their website). It even properly recognized syllables of phonetic Tibetan (using Roman alphabet, but it will not detect Tibetan). The UI is pretty good, but not perfect and there's no way to train for odd words you might need. I haven't tried it for Chinese or Japanese, but for my purposes, unless I find something more economical, I'll buy this one for its accuracy.
I really suggest you download demos and try them for yourself as none of these are particularly cheap -
Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?
Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?
Yes, the s4 is compatible with music and photo transfers between your imac. I don't have experience with the cloud, but it should be the exact same thing.
Now, there will be a few differences between how you get the files onto said device. With the iPhone, you may be able to do it wirelessly, but with the s4 you will have to plug it in.
The s4 will not work with iLife or iLife applications either. However, bigger screen, more customizable ui and experience with samsung phones personally, I would recommend the s4 over the iPhone 5.

Thunderbolt Compatible with iMac 2009 via MDP
Just wanted to throw it out there for anybody who's curious that my Thunderbolt MBA (mid-2011) is successfully able to use my iMac (late 2009) as an external display even though it isn't Thunderbolt equipped. I was always wondering and finally know that it works just fine. In fact, it also works to daisy chain through the LaCie Little Big Disk (Thunderbolt equipped)... so basically my setup is MBA-->LBD-->iMac and everything works beautifully. Of course, the iMac is only useful as a display and can't access the LBD from its own system, but if you're looking for your non-Thunderbolt iMac to be a external display for a newer Thunderbolt equipped MBA or MBP, I can say it works for me. Hope that helps anybody out there who might be curious!
1. Yosemite, but you need to increase the amount of RAM in the computer before it can be upgraded past 10.6.8.
2. The current version of Flash is compatible with 10.6.8; the OS being too old isn’t the cause of that issue.

Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 compatible with iMac 12,2?
After researching on line for a superior 2.1 external speaker component to purchase I bought the (wired) Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speaker system. The owner's manual states since ProMedia 2.1 has an internal amplifier, they are designed to use the "line-out" connector of (my) computer. I realize that my 27" iMac desktop (mid2011) does have a 3.5mm minijack output for both headphones & "line-out".
My concern is will the Volume Control of the control pod interface correctly allow volume control of my speakers? Considering that the owner's manual states: "Some soundcard and /or PC manufacturers may have software that must be adjusted separately from the WINDOWS volume control. -&- "SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE GAIN CONTROLS" directions are described for : "Software Volume Controls in Microsoft Windows" - ONLY!
I (naively) have expectations that Best Buy, being that the are the only outlet that I could find that sells these Klipsch's speakers -&- have a APPLE "store within a (MF) store", should **** well know if the two items (Apple computers & Klipsch external speakers) are compatible with each other!! SILLY ME!!!!
I do NOT suffer FOOLS, gladly!!
If someone has experience or an informed opinion, I would be very grateful for some input. I suppose I could unpack the speakers and experiment, but **** it, when will computer-affiliated businesses learn that PC does not equal MICROSOFT (!#$!%) WINDOWS?
-fpnWondering if you ever got these to work. We purchased yesterday on a whim & after set up smelled hot metal & LED light went out on the one that has the controls. Only noises we have got out of them is a strange loud feedback & a pop when they are turned on or off. What gives?

Is the 3 inch CD compatible with iMacs.
Are 3 inch CDs compatible with the iMac CD-ROM drive? I purchased a camcorder which stated it was compatible with a OS 10.4 system. When I opened the package I then discovered the size of the CD training/editing CD driver. Has anybody out there ever insert a 3 inch CD into an iMac's side CD drive? thanks
No, you can only use standard size CDs & DVDs in your iMac's SuperDrive.
see > Using nonstandard or irregular sized discs in optical drives
Depending on the Camcorder, you maybe able to connect it straight up to the iMac?
see > Mac 101: Connect your camera or camcorder
If not, then you will have to use either a tray loading external drive or a DVD recorder to copy the video from the camcorder to a standard size disc. -

Sony DVD-R 1x - 8x compatible with iMAC G5 isight?
I just purchased a box of Sony DVD-R and after reading the warning on the box I'm worried that it could somehow damage my MAC.
It reads: "Always check if your drive is compatible as using this disc on some drives/recorders might damage the disc or device."
How can I check if the Sony DVD-R 1x-8x is compatible with my iMAC?
Thanks for your help.Lots of people report successfully using Sony disks. I myself prefer TDK or Fuji, but Sony will work just fine.
I assume that they are the full-sized disks and not the mini-DVDs that are used in a lot of camcorders. If so, I can't imagine how that disk would damage any drive. -
What Camcorders Are Compatible With iMac
I am looking to buy a digital video camera but I am not sure if they are "compatible" with my iMac. My friend just bought the JVC - Everio Digital Camcorder - Model: GZMG330HUS. It comes with Windows software and the manual has a brief mention of how to Backup-Up the video files onto the Mac but no mention of the video format being compatible with Mac. Anyway we tried plugging it into the Mac to see how it responded, and it did not, except that it saw it as a device that we could access the video files to copy then to the Mac hard drive. The Video files have an extendion .MOD and .MOI. Tried double clicking on the MOD (the video itself) and the Mac gave the message that no application exists to run it.
I am currently on iMovie HD 6.0.3.
I really want iMovie to recognize it so I can edit the video and make movies to sent to family.
So, my question is whether any of you have tried this? Is there a solution to get this type of camera to be recognized by iMac? Are there other suggestions for compatible cameras in the $400-500 range (like this JVC is)?
I went to my local Apple Store and they did not have an answer.
Thanks in advance.Hello Brad,
While IMovie 08 MAY work with that cam, you may not like iMovie 08! Be sure to have a look at it at your Apple store before you buy iLife 08. It is NOT an upgraded iMovie HD, but a whole re-write of the software, simplified and with less editing features than what you have with iMovie HD6.
If you want to keep your current iMovie version, you must buy a miniDV tape cam with firewire. There are very good miniDV cams in your price range that will possibly give you better quality video than a hard drive or disc cam too, since miniDV does not employ the high compression of data that the other formats do. Hope that helps.

RAM compatible with 3930K and ASUS P9X79 PRO + more
Hello all-knowledgeable computer friends,
I am taking the plunge and am about to purchase these parts via newegg for ~$2000 to complete my DIY Premiere Pro 6/AE video editing computer for DSLR footage. I would love any feedback possible. What do you love/what do you hate? What should I change?
Some questions:
-Can anyone double-check my RAM, motherboard, & CPU compatibility?
-Should I invest in a cooling fan?
-Will 750w be enough for PSU?
-Which RAM should I go with, 1600 or 1866 with the 3930k? Ripjaws a good selection?

ASUS P9X79 PRO LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with USB BIOS

I can’t decide between the 1600 and 1866? Will one be more compatible with my CPU? Intel’s website lists the 3930k compatible with 1600 only I think? Anyone know? G. Skill seems like a good option for my configuration (unless anyone thinks otherwise please let me know).

Thanks for your help!Hi folks I have a similar question. I already have purchased most of the components for my new build, including the following:
Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 2011, X79, EATX, 8x DDR3, PCI, 5x PCI-e, Crossfire, SLi, 4x SATA-300, 6x SATA-600, 0, 1, 5, 10, 1Gbps, 2x eSATA, FW, 7x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0, PS/2, 7.1,
Cooler Master HAF X
Intel Core i7 3930K Boxed Socket 2011 cpu 3,2GHz
Noctua NH-D14 Special Edition (LGA 2011) 140mm
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W 80-plus-gold
2x Intel 520 120GB 120GB SSD (OEM) SATA-600
Zotac GeForce GTX 580 AMP2 815MHz 3GB GDDR5
The last component which I still haven't figured out is the RAM.
As I understand, the 3930k works (best) with 1,35v ram. My question is, will this 1,35v ram work on the Gigabyte mobo, which supports 1,5v memory? Or do I have to adjust something in the Bios in order to make the ram work properly? Or do I have a major problem here?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Any other suggestions on this build are welcome!

Thank youBe certain that you get the correct RAM for your machine (204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM) and get it from a reputable Mac supplier (Crucial, OWC, etc.).
