Moving Out with 27' iMac
Hi! I'm moving out and I need a box for my 27' iMac. I don't know what should I do like... can we call Apple to buy an empty box with styrofoam in it to protect it? That'd be great.. Any ideas? Please
How far are you moving? Are you going to ship it to your new address? Just pack it up with blanket around it and carry it in your car to your new address.
Next time you buy a computer save the box and packing materials it came in.

Troubleshoot video out on new iMac
I'm trying to connect a mid-2011 iMac to my TV. I have a MDP/HDMI dongle and an HDMI cable. I hook everything up and the iMac doesn't detect the TV as a display. I checked the cables and rebooted the iMac. Anything else to check?
I've done video out with older iMacs (pre-MDP) and never had a problem. I have no way of knowing if it is a cable or a port problem.
The MDP (actually Thunderbolt) port seems loose. Is this just the nature of the port?Try connecting the cable and adapter only to the TV and turn on the TV. Then hot connect the adapter to the iMac. If the iMac still cannot read the EDID from the TV I would call Apple about warranty repair/replacement.

Error by moving out a multiple installations
Hi cracks,
Im quite new in the ISU biz and already meeting quite difficult problems :
We have a partner with multiple installations. This partner was moved out with the online transaction as usual and the invoice has been done.
All looked allright but as a new partner was to be moved in on the same installations, we saw that only one installation has been moved out, the other one is still linked with the partner.
We tried to move out the contract but had then the error-message EQ243 saying that move out has allready be done allthought the moving date is still blank
We couldnt canceled the move out as we have an error-message EQ152 saying that the moving date doesnt match the moving date from the first contract (31.12.9999)
So we are now in a deadlocker situation
Tks for solutions
VicDear Vincent,
It look like that 1st of all you have to solve your data incosistence on your system. Look for OSS notes, that describe your problem, you can use the error Messages Code+Number has search criteria.
You can't find anything relevant, create a OSS Message, ASAP and wait for a reply. Give the best detailed information to SAP when you send the message, in order to save time. After this issue is solve you can concentrate on doing the Move-out. Use EC55E, if you are using ISU 464 or above.
KR,

I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both? I had previously read that you only need a plug convertor (three prong to two prong). But I'm terrified that my iMac will blow up if I only use a plug convertor and not some sort of voltage convertor (Transformer).
I'm not really hardware tech savy - is it easy to pop out the UK power cable and plug in the US power cable? Or do I need to get someone like an iMac support guy to do this? And because of the voltage difference, is there something built into the iMac that takes care of the voltage difference for me? Thanks!!

Whether I'm watching a movie purchased via my Apple TV or a movie stored on my iTunes app on my iMac I'm having constant issues with Apple TV either cutting out (randomly - not related to wifi) or not being able to access the 'My Computer' files when my iMac drops out the wifi connection because its in power saving mode. I also have issues with 'Home Sharing' settings having to be reset and sometimes having to unplug the Apple TV power cord and plugging it back in to be able to successfully reset these settings so I can get back to watching whatever it was I was viewing on Apple TV. My TV is connected to wifi as well so I'm wondering if there are any changes I can make in the settings of both my Apple TV and iMac or TV so that I can just select whatever it is I want to watch and be able to watch the entire movie or episode without it dropping out or having to keep flicking the mouse on the iMac to keep the computer connected to wifi? I love Apple products generally but Apple TV is proving to be a pain in the a**e lately. Hopefully someone can help me sort these issues out
Intermittent issues will point to a local network/wifi issue.
Reboot ATV and router, make sure both are up to date
Try ethernet
The home sharing connection will cut out if the iMac goes to sleep. -
I have had a verizon cell phone for 13 years and have gotten your cable/internet/phone when i moved out on my own because i had been so happy with the experience i had with the cell phone service. i ordered my new iPhone 6 on October 6th along with my husband. i was told by the sales associate at the vierzon store where i placed the order that it would ship a week before halloween. instead of a shipping confirmation, i received an email a week before halloween letting me know that my order had been placed on 10/24/14. i thought this was weird, but figured i could weight another week or two, no big deal. my husband got his phone in the mail yesterday. still no sign of mine. then this morning i got an email letting me know that my order was cancelled and if id like to place another order for a phone, then i can go back to the store and do so. why would i want to go through another month of this??? verzon lost my order. i never canceled it and i am beyond annoyed. i am looking to switch my entire house to another provider. this is ridiculous.
i did not get any reasons or explanations. the email just stated that my order was canceled and that it won't be posted to my credit card (i have more than enough to cover the cost, so that is not the issue). also my husbands phone was paid for from the same card moments before me. my balance is always paid automatically and on time. so that couldn't be the reason either. that's what so frustrating is because they didn't explain what happened. this is what the email read exactly:
"This email is to confirm that your order has been cancelled; you have not been billed for this merchandise.
If you would like to place a new order, you may do so by visiting your local retail store or going online to www.verizonwireless.com.
Business customers should refer back to their local Verizon Wireless Sales Representative if you have any questions or would like to place a new order.
Thank you, and we look forward to your business in the future.
Verizon Wireless"
it almost feels like its saying that i canceled it and that this was to confirm that i did. but i didn't cancel anything. -
Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id. do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)
There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

i have zero out all data on my imac, as i brought it second hand and the disk the guy supplied dont seem capatable with my imac to install the operating system again so it is frozen at the grey start up screen. should i buy a new snow leopard disc from apple and install that as my new operating system. please help as had the computer a month now and still cant use it yet.
You can call AppleCare and request a replacement set of the original DVD's that shipped with the computer for a nominal charge. You will need the serial number (look on the bottom of the stand) and a credit card. Click the AppleCare Contact Info link. Without knowing which iMac you have it's very difficult to say if a new SL disc would work or not.

i can connect to internet and e mail via wi fi , however not out with these. I have just moved from i phone 3 to 4s is it the settings?
Let me see if I understand correctly, you can access the Internet and email when on wifi, however when not on wifi, none of this works? Is this correct? If so, do you have a data plan with your carrier? Do you have cellular data turned on in Settings? When you look at your carrier in the upper left corner, do you see a signal, carrier name, and then 3G, 4G or LTE displayed? Have you contacted your carrier about this?

I am running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on an iMac (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM).
I have had a DSL connection since purchasing this computer, but when I moved my current phone line is only rated for 768 Kbps download speed, which is dial-up speed. My internet provider has finally gotten the phone company to admit to this and has recommended I downgrade to dial-up since I am in fact operating at a maximum of 610Kbps anyhow.
They would provide me with an external modem which would connect to the computer using a telephone line with phone-style plug on the modem side and a USB2 at the computer, a specialty product they state that Apple would sell me. Currently, I use an Ethernet line from the DSL modem to the computer.
My question is: Can my iMac even use a dial-up connection with an external modem? If so, does Apple in fact sell such a specialty line or does the connection have to be made through an Ethernet line due to hardware/software constraints?
There is no wireless or satellite option where I live due to building interference. The building itself is wired for cable, which I do not care to have. I am willing to simply downgrade to the lowest speed DSL if dial-up is not possible with my iMac.
Thanks for information relevant to making my decision.@Lanny, you are correct; the maximum speed of 768k was cited by a support tech and may refer to the phone line's native capacity due to distance. I have decided to downgrade to the lowest DSL option available to me (1.5 Mbps instead of 3.0 Mbps) and retain the capability of having simultaneous phone and internet access, which is not available with dial-up. My maximum download speed at my current location hovers around 600K.
The source of the difficulty, I suspect, is that the phone company is converting to optical fibers from copper fibers and is pushing their own "blazingly fast" internet product based on fiber optics, rather than DSL with its expensive paired copper lines. I don't know if the phone company has an additional a means of limiting transmission speeds to thwart their competition, although if I can conceive of this possibility, someone else smarter than me had probably figured out a way to accomplish this 5-10 years ago. My ISP is gradually building their own fiber optic network to gain independence from the dominant telephone line owner.
Thanks for your reply. It confirmed my intuition to stick with DSL but at the lowest available speed option. -
A basic question about upgrading iPhoto before moving to a new iMac
I just ordered a new 27" iMac for my wife who uses several iLife programs and is a big user of iPhoto. Her present iMac still uses Tiger and iLife '08. Don't ask why Tiger! I'm wondering if there is any advantage/disadvantage to upgrading iLife to '09 before we move everything to the new iMac which will come with iLife '09? I'm not sure if the iPhoto library being upgraded on the current iMac would be moved to the new iMac "easier/cleaner" than copying the "old" library then placing it into "Pictures" (and opening it with '09 in the new iMac). For some reason it sounds "easier" to upgrade Before moving the library to the new iMac. Obviously this same "theory" applies to the other iLife applications. I'd rather ask this question today than to have to ask it when there's a great big problem!
Many thanks for the suggestions.TD certainly you're right and I sit here laughing at the fact she has iPhoto '09 on her macbook Pro and '08 on her desktop. It wasn't until Saturday night that she let me put Snow Leopard on her MBP and I've been running it on my MBP and MP since it came out. Oh well. But at this point we'll upgrade the desktop (a PPC iMac) then can copy and move the library to the new iMac without some potential for problem.

After moving files to new iMac, an iMovie project won't play audio music tracks
I bought new imac. Transferred files using target disk method and firewire - drag and drop. All files appear to have moved OK to new imac. But when I try to resume working on an imovie project that I had started on the old imac, the itunes music clips I dragged into a series of clips does not play the music, even though the green bar appears under the clips and the audio adjustments appear to be the same as in the old imac, which I still have. The audio that is "built in" to the original clips when the videos were made on the camera are still there and play. Help, please ? Thanks.
Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
Yours Bengt W
