IF I BUY THE NEW 24" IMAC WITH A 3GB AIRPORT DO I NEED TO GET AN AIRPORT EXPRESS?

IF I BUY THE NEW 24" IMAC WITH A 3GB AIRPORT DO I NEED TO GET AN AIRPORT EXPRESS?

All Macs have a built in Airport card. You can connect to the internet either using an ethernet cable back to your modem/router, or by wi-fi. If you already have a modem/router which provides a wifi network you don't need anything in addition to the Mac. If you don't have a router providing a wifi network then you will need one - it doesn't have to be an Apple one though they are probably the most suitable.
You say 'a 3GB Airport' - do you mean a Time Capsule? - that is a router providing wifi.

Brand new Intel iMac with hard drive failure?

I have a two week old iMac. I shut it down last night. When I started it this morning I got a folder with a question mark. I had no warnings or indications of any problems prior to this. I had just loaded some Disney pictures and have no backup of them except an iPod that was synced last night. I used the OS install disk utility to look and there is no volume and no option to verify or repair. This is a maxed out iMac with 750 gig drive. Is this a known problem. Is there anyway to get the data? Do I need to start backing up every time touch the computer? Also are the songs and pictures on the ipod the same quality as the originals? Can I get them back?
The funny thing is, I had bought this computer to replace another one that was flakey with kernal panic. This is the end of the school year and my wife (a teacher) uses this one for paper work. I thought I had done a nice thing for her. HELP!!!!

Yes HDDs can go bad, right out of the box. All manufacturers have hardware failures of new product. We have had them reported here on occasion. In fact, we are more likely to hear about the failures than the millions of folks that got good ones. People don't post, "Hey, I got my new Mac and the HDD is fine!"
The question mark at startup is an indication that the Mac can't find its boot volume and HDD failure is one scenario to explain why it can't. The good thing is that it is covered by Apple's warranty, so you need to call Apple Care and initiate a claim to get a replacement/repair in the works asap.
I know that is a pain, but it happens occasionally.
The music and photos on your iPod should be exactly what is on the HDD. The exception may be photos that you have altered in iPhoto before transferring them to the iPod. iPhoto manages originals separately from modifieds. I don't have an iPod, but in the case of a modified photo, I doubt the original was also transfered.

Brand new 27" iMac with Snow Leopard has constant hard disk activity

I just purchased a new 27" iMac which was an upgrade for my 24" with Leopard. I have used my older machine for a good year and not noticed any hard drive activity when idle.
Now on the new machine with Snow Leopard I constantly get hard disk activty every few seconds.
This will happen from:
1) Restart
2) leaving at login screen
3) loggin in and not running anything.
4) Computer screen in sleep mode.
5) well, all the time really.
I have looked at the activity monitor and can see spikes every 5-10 seconds.
I have turned off all processes possible, watched processes for CPU spikes, etc to no avail.
Is anyone else having the same problem and if so can they suggest a fix? I originally thought it may be something writing to a log every so often but I have no idea what and how to find it.
Using iStat just confirms the activity.
Hope you can help as this is driving me mad!

I would start by checking each of these items, making sure you have the latest versions of each & that they are compatible with Snow Leopard. Do the same for any Firefox extensions or any plugins associated with any of these applications. In particular, chicken of the VNC hasn't been updated since 2006 & what little compatibility info I can find for it suggests it supports only Tiger (10.4) & 10.3.9. The Download Xmarks page indicates that it is beta software.
Also note that some of these items may do more than just run as applications. On first run or install, some might install startup or login items, or preference panels that remain in effect even when the application is not running. Check /Library/StartupItems & /System/Library/StartupItems -- both are empty by default, so anything you find in them is suspect. Likewise, check the System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items tab. Anything you find in them that does not appear to come from Apple (like iTunes helper) is suspect. Also check the "Other" category of System Preferences.

New Apple iMac with Existing Software

I currently use 64 bit Lightroom 3.0 MLP on my PC. I justed ordered the new Apple iMac 27 inch and I'm trying to get confirmation as to whether or not my software will work on the iMac. Some people say it will be fine and others said that I'll have to order an iMac that's reconfigured. Help, does anyone know if the software has to be ordered special for iMacs?

>The same serial number will work on Mac and/or Windows (max 2 activations).
The serial number will actually work on as many installations as you try it on. You would just be breaking the license agreement if you actually do that so I'd advise against that. This is different from the CS apps where the license is actually checked over the internet and you need to deactivate your old installation if you upgrade your computer which is always a pain. WIth Lightroom if you upgrade your computer, you can just wipe the old computer's harddisk and not be worried that your license number won't work on the new computer.

Anyone using a NEW intell iMac with Logic?

I've got many great responses on both sides to my question regarding my quest to determine which machine to use with Logic -- new Mac Pro (the ultimate) or new iMac (likely cover my bases for a long while and save major cash now). One point raised against iMac was fan noise smack dab in the middle of the listening field with the older iMacs. So a sub question to my original is this:
Are there any NEW intell iMac users out there who are using Logic? Is fan noise a problem? Generally, how do you like the iMac's feasibility as a music workstation with Logic? How many tracks/effects are you running and how is it working for you?

Before those concerns are completely alleviated, go over to the iMac hardware forum and do a search for firewire issues. Like actual physical problems with the jacks on the 20" iMac and having drives just completely "disappear".
the reason you will find issues including firewire ones on the imac forum is because it is a forum for people with issues. it may or may not be the case that there is a subsantial issue with FW on the intel imacs, but obviously people who are having issues are going to pop up there making it seem like everyone is having an issue.
for certain types of music production, an imac would be completely unsuitable. but for others it will be ideal.
there drawback of having 800 and 400 FW bus shared is that if you have a 400 device it will slow down 800 devices to 400. that means it would be ideal for impiro to have either both FW drive and interface as 800's or not go to any further expense of getting an 800 hard drive to use for audio since he would not beneift from the speed.
not a great big deal IMO.
iMac DOES lack expandibility, but it doesn't lack horses. actually i would say (and have said) that impiro would do better with an older tower to allow for expandability because he doesn't need that many horses to do what he needs to do. and i certainly feel that it is unnecessary to spend money on a computer that would be better spent on other things relating to the move to computer based music mixing.
never-the-less, the kind of live musician-audio-based music impiro is going to be making is childs play for modern computers. he will be able to run loads of tracks and plug-ins before a new imac will even break a sweat. even with an interface and a FW drive on 1 bus running at 400. he just won't be able to run loads and loads.
and man....even if he decides to get more heavily into it and start buying third party cards and this that and the next thing he can look at the next computer being a tower. personally, i am changing my computer every 3 years or less - it'll take him at least that long to find the ceiling on a new imac.

Has anyone used the new 5K imac with AE CC and is it a big improvment speed wise or not?

I am thinking about getting the 5K imac with the i7 4.4 GHz quad-core and AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5, but my big concern is that the video card is not Nvidia and does not use cuda core.
I currently have a late 2012 imac with the 3.4 Intel Core i7 and a Nvidia GeFroce GTX 680MX 2048 MB and sometimes it is very slow when working with a lot of effects or layers.
1. If you have any experience with the 5K imac, please let me know how you like it?
2. Was Apple going to the AMD video card a good or bad thing?
3. Do you think I would benefit any speed gain with the new 5K imac and by what percentage.

The AMD video card is not a good hardware selection with the current media content creation software. Open CL is still lagging behind CUDA in performance and the CPU's did not change with the new Imac. So basically it's a new Imac with a updated video card and 5K screen. Not something I would suggest for Adobe if you already have an Nvidia solution.

White lines in Firefox on new 27 iMac with 10.6.2

I get white lines on images being displayed in firefox. These are high resolution images from searching google images. I did not have any trouble on my 20 inch imac with 10.5.
I can use Command + Shft + 4 to take a snapshot and the white lines are recorded. I am thinking that this may be a Firefox issue, but cannot find anything online and as there are many people complaining about the graphics cards in the imac 27 inch, I thought I would check in. I am also on the latest firmware.
Is anyone else having this issue?
I am on the latest version of firefox and apple updates.

That would be the best bet. I do not see SL as being the cause.
Thanks

Using new 24" iMac with my PS3

Ok, my vizio was dropped - nuff said.
So, I want to you my PS3 in conjunction with the screen on the iMac, is this possible? I will not actually be using the computer's hard drive or ram or anything like that...just the screen. Do I need specific cables or what? Thanks in advance.

New intel iMac with reduction on Microsoft Office 2004

Hi.
I am seriously considering buying a new iMac Intel Core Duo. If i order before the end of january along with Microsoft office, i can get upto 50% off office.
I know that the current version of office will run fine on the new iMac Intel Core Duo using 'Rosetta' and that they are developing a new version to be released in march that will run native on the intel imac.
Therefore, if i buy office with my iMac now, I will not have the native version and I will have to buy the new version again?
I am quite confused and really unsure what to do?
Would it be worth me buying office now?
Will i be able to upgrade to the new version for free?
.... I dont understand why apple are selling a version of office with the new iMacs if it is not even the proper software.
Please help me as I am unsure of what to do.
Thanks a lot in advance...

I'm not positive on this but I think I remember, during the keynote speech, the woman that was from the MSBU saying the updates would be available for download at no charge. Might be worth looking at that part of the keynote to be sure. I don't remember the date she said they would be available though.

Mini 1.25, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.4) G4 DA 533MHz DP w/Giga dual 1.8GHz upgrade, 1.25GB RAM, Radeon 9600 Pro
I was wrong. I just watched that part of the keynote again and there will be updates available for download for free but not the universal binaries. My bad.

New 27" iMac with Final Cut Express 4

Hi there,
Wow, the new iMac has just came put ...
I am getting tired that my macbook pro (2.53 GHz i5 core with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 256M) takes so long to render the HD clips in Final Cut Express 4:
Can I know between these two:
_*(1) 27-inch: 3.2GHz DUAL CORE*_
3.2GHz Intel Core i3
2560-by-1440 resolution
ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB
and
*_(2) 27-inch: QUAD CORE 2.8GHz_*
2.8 Intel Core i5
2560-by-1440 resolution
ATI Radeon HD 5750 with 1GB
which one is faster to render the files in FCE4 ? Will there be much difference between the two ?
Btw, has Apple solve the problem with their 27" iMac ? I heard that they have some issue for the previous 27" iMac, has that been solved ?
Thanks

I haven't received my i7 iMac yet and don't use FCE, so I can't tell you my experience in that regard. However, you can look at some benchmarks of the October 2009 i5 and i7 iMacs (which are the same as the i5/i7 found in the currents iMacs, only a tad slower - 2.66/2.8 GHz vs. 2.8/2.93 GHz):
http://www.barefeats.com/imi7.html
As you can see, the quad-core machines are much faster than their dual-core counterparts in Compressor, and even more so in After Effects (also, the i7 provides a noticeable speed boost over the i5 - 15-20% faster despite a 5% higher clock speed only, presumably thanks to Hyper Threading).
I don't know whether FCE is as well threaded as Compressor (you could ask in the FCE forum - which I just realize you did) but if it is, a quad-core processor will be a great advantage, and the i7 option could be worth the extra price.

I bout a new 2013 iMac, with OSX 8.5. I want to buy Pages,but was told I have to have 10.9. How do I get Pages?

I just bought a new iMac 21.5, with OXS 10.8.5. I cannot buy and download Oages without 10.9. How do I upgrade?

Hi Molly,
Click on the Apple in the upper left-hand corner, and then from the dropdown, click on Software Update. That will take you to the Mac App store and will show the Mavericks free upgrade.
Be sure to back up you computer before doing the upgrade if you have any information, documents, photos, etc. that you wouldn't want to lose. You shouldn't lose them, but it is always a good idea to have that backup. Things can go wrong - especially with a major upgrade, and you want to have a backup in case they do.
Cheers,

New 24" iMac, with free printer.. sharing question

Hello, I just recently purchased a brand-new iMac 24" (the newest one), and also decided to get the free Canon PIXMA MP160 Photo All-in-One Printer as well.
I also have a Macbook Pro, and was wondering how I can setup the printer on the iMac to work with my laptop. I loving being able to connect to a shared printer, and print... but what about scanning? Is there a simple way I can scan documents, and have them sent to my laptop instead of the iMac it is connected too..
My concern is that someone may be using the iMac when I need to scan, so having it all shared is preferred, so anyone connected to the shared device, can print, scan without having to manually move files from the iMac to the laptop or whatever computer they are on.
What are my options?
Hopefully I posted in the right forum, and someone knows a good working solution.
Thanks!!

Anyone out there?

New 27" Imac with no screen dimmer slider and not responding to F1

I hope someone has the answer to this. =) I just purchased the 27" Imac that was an open box buy from Best Buy. When I opened it, it had Yosemite installed on it. I went to adjust the screen brightness (under the preferences pane) and there is no slider! I then tried the F1 & F2 keys.....nothing. All the other function keys work, but not those two. I called Apple and was told I needed to take everything off and reinstall then upgrade to Yosemite. Fine....nothing. I made an appointment to take it into the Genius Bar and they couldn't figure it out either. I took it back to Best Buy and into the Geek Squad (then had to send it somewhere). They told me something I can hardly believe. They said the slider bar and function keys work in Mavericks (which I guess is what it came with) but once you upgrade to Yosemite, the slider and keys become unusable. So does this mean I can't ever upgrade? Does anyone have a fix for this??? Please, please help me. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your advice.
I will use if the IMac will not we under warranty but since now it is still covered it is Apple's problem to fix it. Anyhow this is now the smallest problem since the Mac is not working at all.
Now the problem is that I'm not in Korea until 20th of July and I will like to make the arrangements that my Imac will be taken for service asap. Unfortunately beside the phone number for service support that was not working before my departure and the e-mail address of one Apple worker (but not from support team) that didn't reply to my last e-mail I have no other contacts.
I don't know where to send a complain or service request.
I still hope that an Apple employee will read my post and will take action or that one member of the forum with the same problems in the past will provide me some hints about the Apple support service.
Until then I try to enjoy my holiday.
Tank you again.

Brand new 27' iMac with monitor flaws????

Just curious as to how others view this and what you would do. I have a couple of places on my monitor (barely noticeable, but there none the less) where it looks like the glass portion of it was scratched and/or pitted on the backside (one looks like a scratch and 1 other place looks like it could be a pixilation of some sort. Would any of you bother with getting another one considering that if/when you do, you have the chance of getting another one that is possibly worse? I'm a little undecided here. Thank you for any input you may have.

Do not wait to return this. When I bought my 27" iMac and got it home, I noticed 4 dead pixels immediately. I phoned the store up and they agreed to take it back for an exchange. When I did go back to exchange it, I had them unbox and test before I left. The replacement had dead pixels, the next one had a chip in the glass underneath the pane, and finally the last one was 100% without problems. It's not been a full year with mine yet and already now the screen exhibits blurry/grey pixels on the top which I had a tech come out and replace the LG screen inside, only to have the replacement have more dead pixels. For me personally 2k for a rig with display issues is not worth it. I wouldn't hesitate to exchange/return ASAP!
