New iMac 2010 i3 21.5 getting real warm.

Is this normal I'm exporting a video in hd using screen-flow and I have the habit to always touch the aluminum casing just feel if it's warm or not and feels real hot is that normal sorry about the noob question I am just concerned if this normal thanks for the help ..

Processing video is one (if not the most) processor intensive work there is so your computer will naturally heat up. At the moment I'm ripping a DVD using Handbrake on my iMac it normally runs at about 21-22 degrees however when I'm ripping it's up around 52-53 degrees. Nothing to worry about, your computer has safeguards that will protect it from overheating. However that being said use common sense too and give your machine adequate ventilation and keep the room it's working in comfortable.

Roger

My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message, am I done?

My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message and a message that it could not sync, am I done?

What's the error message say, exactly? Does the error occur when you sync, or when you just connect it? Does the iPod appear in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), or does this error occur before that can happen?
I have an old 4th Gen (color screen) iPod, which should be the same as an "iPod Photo." It's been sitting idle for a while, but I just connected it to my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7 and iTunes 10.6.1. I think it's the first time I tried since upgrading to Lion. It connected and synced fine using USB.

Initial Registration on new iMac..how do i get back to complete?

Hi
Just wondering I got a new imac yesterday, love it so far but just got my internet sorted and when i did the inital registration I couldnt complete it, how can I get back to complete it?
I cant find the options on the mac at all?
HELP!
Many thanks,
Andy

When I came out of the registration, it said if you want to go back and finish there is an option in the mac somewhere you can go to....not a website you can visit
I cant find where it is on the mac though...

I am using migration assistant with my old MacBook and a new iMac but I'm just getting a swirling bar and spinning wheel. No signs of any progress after an hour. Drive is about 250 gbs.

The old MacBook says "the other mac is ready" and the new iMac says "successfully connected to other Mac. They are connected via Ethernet. Shouldn't there be some sort of indication of progress? It just looks like they're stuck.
Thanks!

New iMac for wife, how to get all her iPhone info into iTunes on new iMac?

I bought my wife a new iMac and she has been docking her iPhone 3G on the family iMac and the family iTunes. Now she wants to dock her iPhone on her computer and her iTunes but still have access to all the music and movies we have on the family iMac. How do I do this? Thanks

you could use home sharing in itunes to allow her to move music/movies between the family computer and her computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819

Getting new iMac soon.... get 750GB or 500GB?

Since the iMac is not easily upgraded I was thinking of getting the 750GB HD. Question for those of you who have the 750GB drive. What drive is Apple using ( Vendor, Model, Cache Size) and how does this compare with the 500GB drive?

Yep, I was lookin' at that too, but a Seagate compatibility note (link below)
scared me off. It's probably of no concern to ALU iMac owners with SATA II
internals, but it might be a problem with SATA I internal busses or with
some external enclosures.
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/beforeyou_buy/buying_a_drive_for_amacintosh/
It's an old note and might no longer apply, but I was in a hurry to order a
drive and didn't research it any further than that -- just played it safe and
went with the 7200.10-series ST3500630AS.
... low and behold it now houses a Seagate ST3500630AS!
All Seagate drives have a 5-year warranty. If the HD fails after your Apple
warranty expires, you can get a free replacement just by calling Seagate
and giving them the serial number. I've done it a couple times with dead
OEM Seagates from HP PCs. Tried it once with a WD drive, but they refused.

I have downloaded os lion but can't see it on both accounts on my new Imac. How can I get this to operate on both the administrator and guest desktops?

After downloading lion in the guest area on my imac, how do I enable it to have an affect on the other accounts?

You can only install software from the admin account, so you will need to transfer the Lion installer application to your admin account or re-download it when logged into the admin account.

I just got a new iMac. I set it up and all of my contacts have disappeared. They have disappeared on my iPhone and my mac book air as well. How do I get them back?

All contacts have disapppeared from my iPhone, my mac book air and my new iMac. How do I get back. I assume it has something to with iCloud. Thank you.

Use your computer's backup to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link, or do the same with both computers networked in some fashion, which shouldn't be hard to do if both computers are connected to the same wireless network.

How can I get CS3 to open on new iMac with 10.6.4?

Just bought a new iMac and am trying to get everything moved over to it. I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks & Contribute from CS3. When I try to open any of them (newly installed from the Adobe downloads) I get this error message:
file://localhost/Users/jeanetteg2/Desktop/Screen%20shot%202010-07-11%20at%206.39.27%20PM.p ngLicensing for this product has stopped working.
You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the
problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or
contacting your IT administratoror Adobe customer support for help.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, still the same....
Tried out Dreamweaver CS5 and don't like the changes they've made - doesn't work near as well for me as my old CS3!

Did you look at the system requirements for CS3?
I am not sure about CS3, but I owned CS2. When I wanted to upgrade to CS4 (I usually skip a version because of the cost), my PowerPC was pretty much obsolete. CS4 requires an Intel-based computer. So I bit the dust and bought a new MacPro (intel-based). Consequently CS2 no longer works on my new Mac, and CS4 does not work on my wife's older Mac (her's is not intel-based). I think it's all a conspiracy to make us buy new computers and software .
good luck,
matt

Any way to get iMovie '04 onto my new iMac ?

I loved iMovie '04. I hate every iMovie thereafter. I still have my iLife '04 disk and have tried to install iMovie '04 onto my new iMac without success. I get a message that says it is no longer supported. Is there any possible way to get my iMovie '04 back? If not, are there any video making aps available that are similar to the iMovie '04? I really don't need anything as 'meaty' as Final Cut Pro or as expensive. I just want my old iMovie back. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks ~

I believe I said there is a workaround for FCE 3......
As for iMovie, I have and use iMovie HD - but I only have the .dmg download (v. 6.04) that Apple offered for dissatisfied iMovie 08 owners.
However, one could try to install a retail iMovie HD from an iLife 06 disk (might find one on ebay) and it may or may not be automatically updated by Software Update. One would have to make sure NOT to have a later version of iMovie installed at that point. Since I've had no problem with the .dmg, I'd assume the installer is Intel.
As for the install of the v. 6.04 .dmg: it requires that iLife/iMovie 08 be installed first. Then, install the .dmg; after that, run Software Update. If desired, can then install newer versions of iLife - any subsequent iMovie version installer should move the iMovie HD into a "previous version" folder and install the newer version in addition. However, I do not know if that works with a fresh v. 6 install - it does with the .dmg install - it may or may not remove the iMovie HD (the .dmg was configured specifically to work in addition to a newer version).

My mac gets real hot! Is this normal

I am new to mac. My mac getting real hot when i hv it on more than an hour, is this normal? Do i need to install a fan or something?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you have a 24" iMac with an ATI 4850? A recent firmware update became available for it, which may solve problems with that GPU:

If that's not the Mac do you have, please more clearly identify your Mac*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#IDENTIFY
So we can suggest the correct hardware test instructions, and then determine what is the cause. Also I suggest backing up your data*:

Error Message after installing Photoshop & Illustrator (CS2) on new iMac

When I launch Illustrator or Photoshop (both CS2) on my new iMac 2.8 GHz, I get the error message: "Connection Failed. server may not exist or is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
I click OK and they open, but this behavior is getting OLD. I've uninstalled and re-installed and I continue to get the error every time I open these applications. It only happens with Illustrator and Photoshop. I'm in the process of transferring all my files and apps from my old G4 which is connected via ethernet. I've de-activated and removed the old copies on the G4. Does anyone know what is causing this error message and how I can remedy the situation? Thanks for your help.
(24" 2.*GHz Core 2 Duo iMac / OS 10.5.6 / 2 GB memory)

I've just done almost exactly this. Moved to a brand new imac runnning Leopard, (but I've got the newer model imac - 4Gb, 2.93 Ghz 10.5.6) and not yet bought CS4.
I installed both Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 from the disc (migrating didn't work, suprise suprise so I just wiped everything off and started with a clean install) but both still refused to start until I'd repaired permissions. After I did that it worked fine.
Even using Rosetta, Photoshop CS2 seems to be faster than on the G5 imac I've just replaced (especially using an external firewire 800 drive as a scratch disc). And no apparent bugs so far.

Transferring Data form both PC and mac to new iMac G5

Saturday I can go and collect my brand new iMac G5.
My father can get his as well.
But as I used to work (at home) on a PC. I'm looking for a fast (and easy) way to transfer my data to my new iMac.
3 different computers are in use.
My iBook G4 at work.
My PC (windows 2000, with ethernet card and firewire-ports).
My dads old PC (windows 95, no ethernet card and no CD-RW-drive)
How should I handle this?
I was hoping to make a network connection with both Ibook and PC to my new mac. Do I need a cross cable for the connection Imac - PC? Or will a normal ethernetcable do the trick? Or should I even use a router?
Is firewire an option for the PC as well or will this give problems?
And how should I make my PC recognize the mac or vice versa?
And any suggestions concerning the old PC without network-card?
Perhaps placing the harddrive in my PC with networkcard? I don't think there is place left in the oldest PC to install a network card.

2. the windows 95 without network? The computer has 2
USB ports, but if I'm not mistaken windows 95 doesn't
support USB, so a memory stick isn't an option.
Is there perhaps a possibility to create a network
over parallel or serial ports?? Bit like over
firewire, but slower?
In theory you can use the serial port, but this would be impractical.
I would suggest buying a cheap ethernet card ($10) and network it.
You could remove the drive from the Windows95 PC and install it on the newer PC.

My new iMac does not see my last iMac backup in Time Machine

I just got a new iMac and I wanted to get my files from the time machine back up of my old iMac. Migration assistant did not see my iMac backup. It sees my Macbook backups, but not my iMac. My old iMac was running Yosemite Beta and the new one runs 10.9.5. Is the OS difference the issue?

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with the problem. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you might be eligible for an onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine (depends on where you're located). BTW, the AppleCare Protection Plan's the best warranty policy available for desktop machines. Get it if you don't have it before contacting Apple.
