Missing selection tabs with QT-Pro installed on my Intel iMac

This is my first Mac, so I am sure it is something obvious, but for the life of me, I can't get the selection tabs to pop up when I place the mouse cursor on the timeline. Works fine on my Wintel machine, but no luck on the iMac. What am I missing?

Hmmm, strange... I restarted QTP after upgrading it to 'Pro' which activated all of the editing commnands, but not the selection tabs. On the second restart, the tabs appeared. Bottom line, problem solved,

Problem with Acrobat Pro - install, etc.

I have problem with my Acrobat Pro (in Adobe Design Standard CS6 edition) - Regularly once a month throughout the software crashes and will not turn on. Only helps to re-install. Now I additionally happened that when reinstalling does not load serial number. It made me very disgruntled. Can you please help? Acrobat Pro I still need to work and this is me terribly resides. My customer identification number is : 168735979. Thank you.

Thank you but unfortunately the process does not work. It makes the same thing as before. When I install and enters the serial number, it writes: We are unable to verify the product serial number Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. Please contact Customer Support.
When I deactivated Photoshop and re-activated by the process, everything went without a problem. The problem is only with Acrobat Pro. Acrofix - after running only flashes a command prompt window, otherwise nothing happens. I do not know what to do ....

Apple Pro speakers with mini jack connect to new Intel iMac ?

I would like to be able to connect the pair of perspex globe Apple Pro Speakers with mini-jack that came with my PowerPC G4 Mac to my new Lion desktop Intel iMac.
However, the mini-jack is too small for either the ' audio in / optical digital audio in port ' or the ' headphone out / optical digital audio out port ' (I'm not sure which is the correct one to use !)
Is it possible with an adaptor, or by some other means, to connect them ?
If it is unfortunately not possible, any cheap alternative speakers recommended would be appreciated.

There are no adapters that are readily available to use the old Apple Pro speakers with other computers or newer Macs.
The only adapter that worked but has long been discontinued in the Griffin Technologies iFire.
These are even harder to find now and if you do, indeed find one, you're going to pay an outrageous amount of money just for an adapter that used to sell for $40!!
For the cost of this adapter, you could just buy new speakers.
The big problem with the old Apple Pro speakers is that Apple went out of its way to make sure you couldn't use these speakers with anything else but certain G4 Mac models. The connector and subsequent wiring make these speakers very proprietary and limited use without spending gobs of time altering some of the components and purchasing external computer audio amps and connectors.
Apple simply made these unusable on anything but their own hardware at that time.
It's simply not worth the effort.
Look in the Apple Store online. There are a lot of decent priced, good-looking speakers to use with your iMac.
Good hunting!

Snow Leopard will not install on 2008 Intel iMac

Trying to install a purchsed copy of Snow Leopard onto an Intel iMac (2008 model). System previously on system was 10.4.11. Started the first Upgrade attempt and the upgrade stopped at 33 minutes remaining - would not progress any further.
Force power down and tried again selecting Upgrade. This time it got to 16 minutes and never went further.
Next attempt I reformatted the drive, ran Disk Utility to Repair Disk (no problems detected). The ran a full install. Stops at 16 minutes.
Tried again - Partitioned drive, erased drive, tested drive, ran installer - 15 minutes - no further.
No error messages - nothing - it just sits there.
Reset PRAM, reset SMU - same thing after another attempt.
This system was running fine under 10.4.11. We just wanted to upgrade it to 10.6 for application compatibility requirements (10.5 or higher required to run latest version of application).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Next I'd run the AHT (Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test) - if that picks up any hardware issue then you don't need to waste any more time troubleshooting. (Run the long test in the AHT, maybe loop it overnight if you're not in a hurry)
After that I'd boot the machine in target disk mode (How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode) and boot the other machine to the install disk - you should then be able to install to the first iMacs HD, it'll show up with a firewire symbol when you "select you destination".
If still having trouble, then I'd go into disk utilty, erase tab, options and select the "zero out data"" option. Then click the erase button. This will write to every byte on the HD, so an additional test of the integrity.

Printing problems with HP laserJet 1320 and new Intel iMac

My new Intel iMac won't print to my HP 1320 from Eudora or from web browsers. The applications "quit unexpectedly". From Safari, nothing happens.
I can print PDF documents and Office documents with no problems. The Intel is connected to a router via Airport. The printer is connected to the router via Ethernet. My old G4 iMac prints fine (connected to router via Ethernet) as does my G4 laptop (connected via Airport).

Solution!!!
Just spent 90 minutes with some nice folks in level 1 and level 2 support.
Problem seems to be that I used migration utility to import the soul of my old machine into the new machine. When you do that, you bring along the old print system (PPC vs Intel).
I had upgraded to 10.4.5 after the migration and assumed that it would correct any problem like that, but it had not.
After a great deal of trial and error, the solution was to go to move disk/library/printers to the desktop and restart the system
Then use the the install disk 1 that came with the iMac and use the OPTIONAL INSTALLS package to reinstall the printer drivers.
Worked like a champ.
Suspect similar problem might happen for any of you with I/O drivers.

10.4.11 failed to install on my Intel Imac, now I can't boot

Just as 10.4.11 was finishing installation on my Intel Imac, it came up with a message that said installation did not complete. I attempted to restart in order to try the installation again, and now I can't get past the opening grey screen. I get chimes, and the progress icon is rotating, but booting does not continue to the OSX screen. It just sits there on the grey screen. I think my system was somehow corrupted.
Any thoughts on what I should do next to get my system back up?

Dear All,
Had the same problems with 10.4.11 update on my MBP 17"
Did all resets and safe boots. No effect.
Don't have original disks (at the office miles away)
Booted from old 10.4.4 that come with iMac disk.
Told it would not install "on this computer".
Didn't click restart instead clicked to Utilities and used Disk Utility to repair disk and permissions.
Still only getting to grey screen and spinning cog.
Used iMac to download update 10.4.11
Booted MBP as a target drive (holding down T on startup)
Used installer in iMac to install update to MacBookPro.
Reboot MBP. Little longer start up but all fine.
Not gonna update iMac!

Installed WinXP on Intel iMac: No sound device!

I purchased a 20-inch Intel iMac a few days ago. I installed bootcamp and WinXP, but there was NO SOUND!
The control panel told me there was no audio device. So, I downloaded from Intel website, the "Sigma Tel High Definition Audio CODEC". I got the error message " This audio device is not supported by the board"
I tried to install couple different audio drivers, but nothing seems to work so far. If there is any advice/suggestion, I would greatly appreciate!
Urgently need help.

Apple Pro Audio Speakers on Intel iMac

Hello everyone!
My new Intel iMac just got opened and is sitting on the desk, but I ran into one issue: The Apple Pro Audio speakers that came with the iMac G4 can not be hooked up. Is there an adaptor I can get, or will I have to make due with the internal speakers for a little bit ? (which by the way, sound really good)

If you're taking speaker recommendations, I love my JBL Creature II speakers. They also come in aluminum, black, and red.
They look a little funky, which is cool, and they sound great!

Success with iDefrag and DiskWarrior on my Intel iMac! (indirectly)

Had some very good success using iDefrag and DiskWarrior on my intel iMac, both of which do not run directly on the intel platform yet. As I had observed a gradual (modest) slow-down over the course of the past month since I got my iMac, I couldn't help but try to figure out a way to defrag and optimize the hard drive since I had over 125GB (including quite a few large media files, and a couple system updates, both of which tend to cause fragmentation). So, after doing two independent backups on separate external HD's, I ran iDefrag on my iBook and defrag/optimized the iMac's hard drive using Target Disk Mode. As expected, the hd was VERY fragmented - and the process took overnight to complete. Being as careful as possible to ensure no problems, I then ran verify disk and repair permissions on the iMac's hard drive, and no problem. Did notice a very meaningful increase in responsiveness and speed on the iMac, even more than I would have expected. Since I historically always ran DiskWarrior after doing this exercise on my PPC mac's, I decided to attempt the same here. Since I (and others on this board) have been unsuccessful in running DW3.03 using the iMac in Target Disk Mode, I decided to update backup drive #1 post-iDefrag, and was then able to mount this drive (backup#1) and run DiskWarrior on it from the iBook. No problems were detected which was great news, but the I had it write the new index/directory files. I then sync'd back to my iMac's hard drive (from backup#1 to iMac HD) and observed that a number of files were updated most likely as a result of the updated directory/index files from running DW (I use FolderSynchronizer to sync). So keeping backup#2 of the pre-iDefrag/DiskWarrior for a while, but so far so good, and a very meaningful improvement in performance. So the experiment seems to be a success.
DISLAIMERS: If anyone does "try this at home" please backup and re-backup before attempting. In addition, please note that Coriolis is in the process of developing an intel build for iDefrag and probably recommended in general to wait for this update.

Thanks for this posting and the good advice. I put in some time chasing the 801.57 gb limit before finding this thread that steers in the direction I see now I must persue, a new enclosure (modern day version rather than 5 year old technology -- yes, the old external drive has the Oxford chipset mentioned repeatedly in other threads) to go with my new drive. Would have been better off $$-wise to have purchased a complete unit, but this is so much more fun on a Monday evening.
Great being here with you all!

Trouble Installing Memory on Intel iMac

Here's my situation:
The factory memory is ejected. Both slots are empty. Swing arms are out as far as they will go. When I slide the SO-DIMM into the top slot, the module does not catch the arms as it slides along the track. Therefore, when it is fully seated, the arms are still extended out all the way. When I seat the top-slot SO-DIMM, the arms don't move. Not at all.
Since the SO-DIMM fills up most of the track when it's installed, the arms can't swing in (they usually slide along the track, right?). In my current situation, moving the arms in presses against the installed SO-DIMM almost immediately. Pushing the arms in all the way would almost certainly jam up the track and possibly damage the SO-DIMM connector inside the iMac.
In a nutshell: I can't get the top-slot SO-DIMM module to engage the RAM ejectors as I slide it in.
For the time being, I have the top slot empty and the bottom slot filled. The bottom is not a problem because I can start with the arms half-way folded in, and the SO-DIMM easily catches as I slide it in.
http://homepage.mac.com/abowlus/two.jpg
As you can see here, the arms have the extra bump that covers the top slot when they are closed. Why are these plastic bumps here? That's what's stopping me from sliding in the top SO-DIMM.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Yes, being too careful is exactly what got me in this situation-- I originally intended just to slip another 512 stick into slot 2, but it ended up not getting recognized, so I pulled the arms to eject both modules so I could try reinserting.
I have since become more adept at memory installation. I've discovered the extra push that's necessary to install the module completely.
It's easy to do this on the bottom slot. I can fold in the arms about half way, so that the SO-DIMM module can easily catch-on mid-way down the SO-DIMM track into the iMac.
Oddly enough, the plastic bumps on the arms ONLY cover the top slot. They do not obstruct the bottom slot whatsoever. To give myself enough space, I have to open the arms completely so that the bumps will be moved off to the side and the entire top slot will be accessible. However, in this position, the arms are so far along the SO-DIMM track that when I install a module into the top slot, the arms will not engage and the module will slide all the way in without the arms moving at all.
If those bumps weren't there, this wouldn't be a problem... but for the time being, I have to figure out how to work around them. Thanks for help.

Installing Printers on Intel iMac

Hi
This is my first post, so please be gentle...
I have just moved over from a G5 iMac to an Intel based one (from a PC a few weeks before).
I am trying to install a Lexmark X83 and Kodak Printer Dock 6000. I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers from both companies, but when I go into the printer configuration utility neither can be seen. There appear to be folders and files installed in the "Library" on the HD.
The printer dock doubles as a camera USB connection, and I can import pictures from the camera. The Lexmark is a printer/scanner combo and I can get the scanner to work fine, so I guess the USB conection is good.
Both printers worked fine last week on my G5 Mac - would new drivers be required to work on an Intel Mac; I would have though the O/S abstracts that?
Any assistance would be gratefully received, and I am happy to post details of the drivers etc if that will help.
Thanks in advance

iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.4)
iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Exactly what I expereinced wit the Epson Aculaser C1100. The Mac recognised the printer, even showing the status of the toner cartridges, but when asked to print, like you the document jumped to the completed list. I spoke to Apple, who said it was a problem with the printer, so I spoke to Epson, who informed me it was almost certainly a "software problem". They suggested wiping the H Disc and a complete reinstall of OS X, which I have done, then tried to reinstall the printer. Now all I get is a coninuous message teeling me that the data is being sent to the printer, but nothing further. Eventually I have to delete the document from the print spooler.
I went into the local Apple Store and spoke to one of the "geniuses" there. He knew immediately that it was almost 100% certain that the driver wasn't compatible with the Intel Processor, and he was dead right. I've since asked Epson to tell me when the drivers for the Intel Processor willl be available but they have no idea., just "sometime in the future".
The Aculaser works fine withh my Windows Laptop, and the real killer is that my inkjet works fine with the Mac. Apple must have been aware that they would have problems of this nature so why no warnings to customers?

Instructions how to install more RAM Intel iMac 17"

Does anyone know where i can find instructions on how to install more RAM? Preferably with illustrations.
Thanks,

It´s supposed to be a phillips 2 screwdriver. It may also be difficult to open the lid if the screwdriver is too sharp. In Sweden we don´t usually call it by that name. If I only had read my swedish owner´s manual I would have knewn, or if I just had looked at the bottom of the computer before I purchased a phillips 0 screwdriver. That screwdriver might be useful in other situations and was quite cheap though.

AVCHD manageable with FCP 5.1.4 and Intel iMac 2.16 MHz ?

Hi,
I am looking into a new camcorder Sony HDR XR 500 (520) and one of the reviews I have read mentions that the AVCHD format requires specific software and the latest computers. Do I have no chance to work those files with my current configuration? What would I need? Thanks!

Hi gogiangigo,
Thanks for that information!
I have read in the FCP 6 marketing page that AVCHD is supported natively — if the text syntax doesn't disguise the truth! But in some other comments I read, FCP will convert AVCHD on import into a transitional format and the files size is blown up. What's the truth about it?
And will a dual 1.5GHz PowerMac G5 also handle FCS 2 and AVCHD ? (seemingly not)

Changing Colors of selected tab in JTabbedPane.

Do someone has some code that can show how to
change the color of the selected tab with JTabbedPane.
I can change the other tabs colors with setBackground and setForeground, setBackgroundAt........ but it is the selected
tab that will not change from the default grey color.
thanks

try this code, it works.
public class TabBackgroundChange extends JFrame {
private JTabbedPane tabPane = null;
public static final Color selTabColor = Color.red;
Color nonSelectedTabColor = null;
public TabBackgroundChange() {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
tabPane = new JTabbedPane();
tabPane.add("One", new JPanel());
tabPane.add("Two", new JPanel());
tabPane.add("Three", new JPanel());
this.getContentPane().add(tabPane);
this.setSize(200, 200);
this.setVisible(true);
tabPane.addChangeListener(new TabChangeListener());
tabPane.setSelectedIndex(1);
tabPane.setSelectedIndex(0);
public static void main(String[] args) {
TabBackgroundChange tabBackgroundChange1 = new TabBackgroundChange();
private class TabChangeListener implements ChangeListener {
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent ce) {
int iSelTab = tabPane.getSelectedIndex();
Color unSelectedBackground = tabPane.getBackgroundAt(iSelTab);
for(int i=0; i<tabPane.getTabCount(); i++) {
tabPane.setBackgroundAt(i, unSelectedBackground);
tabPane.setBackgroundAt(iSelTab, Color.red);

Microsoft Entourage 2004 issues with MacBook Pro's??

Hi all,
I only post this question, cause I have three macbook pro's at my company having the same issue, and all the other intel based macs, behaving fine.
We have been experiencing very unstable behavior with Microsoft Entourage specifically on MacBook Pros. One users loses the ability to click on anything within Entourage, until he reboots his machine. Another couple of users ran into similar issue with not being able to open entourage without error messages. Is their something specifically in the Macbook Pros that cause Entourage to run bad in the Rosetta engine? My Black Macbook works fine with Office and so does our Intel iMacs. Any ideas why these issues revolve around Macbook Pros specifically? Any other users having problems?
