New iMac has never chimed at startup? Is this the new Startup?

New iMac has never chimed at startup? Is this the new Startup? Im curious becuase my machine runs perfectly, and I know Apple takes some pride in its StartUp Chime.

Not normal,
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.

  • How can I find my serial number for Adobe Acrobat 11. I got a new iMac and I don't want to use the new version at £18.00 per month. I don't need it. Thank you

  • Migrating user data to new iMac, but need to maintain some information on the new computer.

    Hi,
    I'd appreciate some advice on setting up a new, actually used, iMac.  I purchased a year-old iMac from a guy who left several apps and some music on the drive.  Should I just use the Migration Assistant as I ordinarily would, or do I need to take some action to ensure that the info on this new computer is maintained?  If used normally, will the Migration Asst. integrate the music the seller left for me into my iTune library, will it keep those files discrete from the files already in my library, or is it possible that it will toss them out?
    Thanks,
    spreldog

    I HIGHLY recommend you format the drive and reinstall the OS before you enter ANY of your info on it.
    Then use Migration Assistant to get your info from your old computer to new computer.

  • Can I move the Photoshop Elements 6.0 from an older iMac to a new one?  The new iMac has no drive?

    I share this person's pain.  And was just now about to ask the same question.  So, in effect we're screwed.  I have the disc but without a drive I think E12 and this computer is going to have a very short life in my life.  And for the life of me, why is so darn hard to get questions answered by Adobe?  Good grief...I have 2 books and have saty through enough video "tutorials" to last me for some time!

  • My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work.  Once another app is opened, it will not close either.  Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

    My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work.  Once another app is opened, it will not close either.  Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas?  If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,,  Thanks!

    For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
    For other Disk repair remedies see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
    Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

  • My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

    My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

    I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited.  In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items.  I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible.  I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected.  Hope this helps!

  • New imac has only one firewire 800 port?

    Is there a hub or repeater you can use instead of daisy chaining. Can't figure out why my old imac has two firewire ports and the new imac has one. How are others managing multiple hard drives? I wish to use a hub for my firewire connections. What is the best way. thanks

    You can locate Firewire hubs however they are expensive. I have had 3 Firewire 800 external HD's daisy chained together for 3 years that work flawlessly. The drives I have come with 2 FW 800 ports so this is quite easy, there are several top quality external HD's that are similar including:
    OWC Mercury Pro line
    Lacie Quadra D2 line (this is what i have)
    G-Tech G series line
    All of these drives have similar specifications and are all high quality products. I think you will find them to be the most recommended on these forums.
    BTW your old iMac had 1 Firewire port and 1 Firewire 800 port not 2 firewire ports.

  • Dictation on my new iMac has stopped working on both the internal

    Dictation on my new iMac has stopped working on both the internal & external microphones. Any suggestions?

    Does the onscreen microphone come up but it doesn't convert speech to text? Or does the onscreen microphone not appear at all?
    In System Preferences > Dictation & Speech > Dictation, is the microphone set to "Automatic"? You might try setting it to "Internal microphone" to see if it works.
    Have you tried restarting the iMac?

  • Itunes on new iMac has only two albums

    Did you copy you entire /Music/iTUnes/ folder from you old computer to /Music/ on your new computer?

  • The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have?

    The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have? I have adobe photoshop elements 11 and baboo drawing pad and they both have CDs to install.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The new iMac hasn't got a SuperDrive to insert CDs and DVDs, so you can't install software from CDs and DVDs.
    Instead, you have different ways to install the applications you have on DVDs:
    1. Buy any external optical drive for your Mac and use it to install your applications.
    2. If you have another PC or Mac, you can save the external optical drive cost and use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Note that this may be a bit slow

  • Is it true that the new imac has a touch screen feature?

    is it true that the new imac has a touch screen feature?

    No, it is not true. There are third-party resellers that modify iMacs to add a touch screen, but the iMac as shipped by Apple does not have a touch screen.

  • I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

    I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

    Unfortunately, adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 available for download, as far as i know, so your best bet is to either get an usb dvd drive or use an computer with a dvd drive and copy the contents of the pse 6 dvd to somethiing like
    a flash drive and then copy the contents from that drive to your new computer.
    Do you still have your older mac and it has a dvd drive?
    You can share files between the two using airdrop or an ethernet cable.

  • I want to restore 300 Gigs of data, saved to Time Machine, on my new iMac 27".  I want my OS on the 256G SSD, but I want all the other data (which can be separated) on the 2TB internal hard drive.  How do I do that?

    The Apple article will transfer everything from one volume to another.  Doing what you want is not simple, unfortunately. 
    See Transferring Home Folders not on a Startup volume, especially scenario #1 in the gray box there.
    That's just recently reworded and revised; please advise if it's not clear or you have problems with it.

    Go to the Apple Store webpage and in the upper right go to Account and select Track an Order. There you will find the status of your order. You only get a tracking order when the items ships.
