New iMac set-up

We're finally getting new iMacs at work and, with no IT department, I need an idiot's how-to guide to A) move files from old to new (do we want to use Migration Asst?) and B) "scrub" old so they can be donated and none of our info can be seen. Some SS #s, financials, etc.
What about re-setting up our network? I seem to recall it was fairly easy years ago and expect the iMacs to be even simpler.
Any other tips or hints would be appreciated.

Thanks for the link. That info will make the upgrade easy. Any ideas on our old machines and how to "scrub" them so they can be donated and none of our info can be seen? Some SS #s, financials, etc.
Your welcome and thank you for the star.
That is easy enough, put the original Install DVD that came with the old machine into it's drive. Then restart the machine while holding down the Option button. Shortly it will ask which volume to boot from, choose the Install Disc. Next choose the language, then click the Utilities menu and open Disk Utility. Next choose the internal hard drive on the left pane then click the Erase tab. Click the Security Options and choose Zero Out Data. This is more than adequate unless you have the launch codes for Obama is carrying around. . Click OK, then click Erase and after it's done exit Disk Utility and continue with the Install to do a fresh install of OS X. After it's done you've got a pretty fresh machine and all your information has been securely wiped off.

  • New iMac - set up question

    I'm just about to take delivery of a new iMac.
    At the moment I use Logic 8 on a Core Duo Mac Mini with all the Content (Loops Jam Pacs) stored on an external Hard Drive, which I also record to. My interface is a MOTU 896.
    The Mac Mini runs fine in every respect - no crashes or glitches - recording with Logic is fine. I play classical guitar so the silent Mini has been great. I usually have 2 audio tracks for the guitar and a couple of midi tracks for strings etc - keeping it all simple.
    Questions:-
    a) given that all is OK on the Mac Mini - could I simply Migrate my account and applications to the new iMac using the Migration assistant? Will this also move my MOTU and M-Audio(keyboard)Drivers?
    or
    b) If I opt for a clean install of Logic 8 onto the iMac, how do I access the content from the External Hard Drive, or should I re-install the content as well as part of the installation?
    c) I was planning on daisychaining the MOTU through the hard drive to the iMac. This works fine on the Mac Mini. Would I be better off having Logic and the Content stored on the iMac (now that I will have plently of space) and also record to the iMac - or should I keep the set up as is with the Content stored on the External and also keep Recording to the External Drive?
    Any thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated - Thanks.

    Go into your system preferences and click on the sharing, up top you will see the computer name click on it and change it. 

  • New iMac set-up stuck in VO, can't complete set-up

    Hi, just got my new iMac (converting from PC - yeah!), but it is stuck in this VO thing.  It won't allow me to use the trackpad to click on any items on the screen, and I have difficulty selecting anything on the screen.  Haven't even been able to complete registration/set-up.  Any suggestions?

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane and let them sort things out for you..

  • New iMac set-up problem

    Just bought 1 iMac & have 2 more ordered to upgrade from OLD G4s. Tried Pondini's how to to set up from the old Mac but we get a message that the old does not have an OS X installed when trying to use firewire. What other options do we have? Need step-by-step for an idiot (me) instructions as we have no IT people.

    Ensure that you've repaired the disks on the Tiger boxes and are running 10.4.11. If not, download and reinstall the 10.4.11 COMBO. I don't recall anyone not having success using the setup assistant. See Best Practices for more info, although Pondini's tip should have everything you need.

  • Ideas for migrating data to new iMac from faulty eMac?

    My wife's old eMac died, but she was able to copy her user folder (all 58+ GBs) to an external drive prior to it finally giving up the ghost. It was copied via finder (not cloned or done via Time Machine), so it doesn't appear to have permissions set (i.e., I can mount the disk on another computer and access all her files).
    She needed her new iMac set up right away to finish some work, so only a few files have been transfered.
    I don't know if Migration Assistant can deal with the files, but I'd rather not migrate her stuff at this point. Migration Assistant isn't particularly granular (i.e., you can't choose which apps or which email to transfer - it's all or nothing). I'd rather access her home folder (as the user) to clean out her files (i.e., email, downloads, iTunes, iPhoto, etc.) prior to migrating them to her new computer. At a minimum, I want to log into her old account to backup her contacts to transfer over (or access them some other way).
    Can I set up a user account for her on another computer (same name and pw), go into the advanced accounts settings and point to her folder on the external drive, and then log into her account? Or do I need to do some terminal work?
    I believe the HDD was corrupted by the HW failure, but if Target Disk Mode is preferable for what I want to do, then it might be worth some troubleshooting on the eMac to get Target Disk working.

    "Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)

  • Best Hard Drive Configuration on New iMac?

    Hi all,
    I am in the process of purchasing a new iMac and will be installing Lightroom on it.  This will be my first installing Lightroom on one of my machines, so I am not very familiar with the program, though I have read up on it (and will continue to do so) and have seen it in action before.
    I plan to get a 27' iMac, 3.4 i7 CPU, with at least 8GB of RAM (will probably upgrade to more later).  I have the option of selecting a 1TB Fusion drive, which is sort of a hybrid drive (a small part of which is SSD for most often used files/programs and the rest is a regular old hard drive), or a 3TB Fusion drive.  I'm trying to decide which would be better for Lightroom.
    Obviously, the 3TB brings the convenience of size and the ability to store more pictures on a single HD without the need of an external drive (at least right now).   However, I am leaning toward the 1TB because the 3TB does not allow one to install Bootcamp, which is a program that let's the user run Windows on the iMac, which I may want to do at some point for work purposes.
    All things being equal, and except for purely backup purposes, do most users split up their storage when using Lightroom or they just use one large internal hard drive? Would this have any impact on performance?  To be honest, the whole catalog thing is throwing me for a loop.  Sounds like I could store the physical images on an external drive, and just have Lightroom itself and the catalog file on the internal Fusion drive, but I'm wondering if this would at all degrade performance/speed of loading/viewing/editing pictures.  Obviously, I'm assuming much will depend on the speed of that external drive.
    I will continue to read up, but I would appreciate any tips regarding the HD situation before I place my order, as well as any general pointers for a first time Lightroom user starting fresh so that I can get off on the right foot.
    Many thanks!

    Hallo,
    I have the same or at least very similar question.
    Just ordered the 21.5" imac with 1TB fusion drive. I need to transfer 450GB of photos from my old windows PC to the new imac set-up. This set-up will include some drive(s) for back-up, but not sure yet which drives.
    Just moving the 450GB of photos to imac HD seems a bit much: with photos, applications and some other stuff 60-70 % of the imac HD would allready be consumed up right from the start.
    I am using Lightroom for organizing, editing, etc.  of my pictures. So this should run as smooth as possible.
    Any advice on a good configuration on how to work with iMac, Lightroom, 500 GB of pictures, external HD, back-up is welcome.
    thanks,
    Maarten

  • Premiere Pro CC very slow on brand new iMac

    Hi
    We have bought a new iMac, set up the Creative Cloud and downloaded Premiere Pro.
    We've started a few new projects on this machine and whenever we play them back, the video always freezes on a frame whilst the audio carries on playing. When pausing the playback for the visual to catch up, Premiere takes a while to respond to the pause action.
    We've tried changing the video renderer to Open CL, CUDA and Software only and still no luck.
    The computer specs are:
    Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096MB
    Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
    Any suggestions are more than welcome and I will respond with the results.
    If you require anymore information then please ask and I will be happy to supply you with the details.
    Thank you for your time and help in advance.

    Thanks, Jason, that's what I was wondering about.  Generally, people post to forums when they have problems.
    Yep.  That's usually what happens.  My review will be centered around my usual "benchmark" of editing 2 AVCHD inputs, one PiP'd into the other, synced with an external audio source, and then exported to an h.264 MP4.  CC on my current Mac Pro (modified dual 3.46Ghz Xeon, 48G, nVidia GTX570) takes that task about 1/2t, if t = length of video.  Which is pretty damned good.  I'm hoping the dual GPUs will help scale that export task down a bit more.  I don't expect it to hit 1/4t, but.. hey, maybe I'll be surprised?
    I make about 60% of my living from Pr, and the rest from Ae and other apps (mostly Adobe).
    Given the lack of CUDA, at the moment, I don't expect the new Mac Pro to be a stellar performer with Ae specifically.  I assume that Adobe is working on OpenCL'ing Ae as much as they possibly can.  But from what I understand, it ain't there yet.
    (I'd need a TB monitor and PCI extender, too).
    I can understand the need for the PCI extender, but why the TB monitor?  I'd in no way even remotely consider one of those, just given how ridiculously priced they are.  There's no need for one.  Does your display have a DP input?  You're all set.  No?  It has HDMI instead?  Still all set.  It's dual-linked DVI that becomes problematic.

  • Super Drive louder on new iMac?

    We just got the new iMac home and am transfering our backups from cd/dvds and the super drive is considerable louder then the iMac G5 we took back. Is this normal for the drive in this iMac, or is this a problem whith my machine?

  • Set up new iMac user accounts & storage locations

    I just made the switch from Windows PC to a new iMac  since it is still in the box I thought I would take some time to think about how I want to set it up before opening it and starting to dump all my files onto the new machine. I'd like to have an efficient setup and get it right from the start!
    My current (PC) set up is this:
    I have one 500Gb internal drive. Using Windows 7 I have four user accounts: me, my wife, and one each for the kids with parental controls. I would like to duplicate this setup, and I understand OS X Lion can do this.
    Now the messy part: under my account I have a bunch of docs (word, excel files, PDF's, etc, let's call this stuff "data"), a couple thousand songs, a bunch of pics and some movies. Email etc too. When I log into my account I have a my documents folder with my data files. I have an iTunes folder and in it a bunch of music. Some is from ripped cd's, some from iTunes store, some from amazon mp3 store. When I open iTunes I have a library with all of the music avail on my machine. Oh, I also have an iPad 2 and when I plug it in, it syncs with my library and apps and movies etc. I open Thunderbird and I get my email. So far so good.
    When my wife logs in she has her "my documents" folder with her data. She opens thunderbird and gets her email, not mine. More mess though: she doesn't like half the music I like, and she doesn't want to see it. When she opens iTunes she gets a library with fewer songs available, and I'm moderately sure that her songs are *copies* of what's in my music folder. Well some are anyway, some point to the music in my folder (I was not very consistent in how I added music to her library). She has an iPad 1 that syncs to her library, with only a fraction of the apps that I have. She has her own pictures too (different from mine - basically she would copy pics from the camera to her "space" but I wouldn't know it, and wouldn't see them).
    The kids accounts are relatively "clean" - just accounts with parental controls for web browsing (online kids games) etc. EXCEPT my daughter has an iPod shuffle (2Gb) and a small library of songs. I *think* this library points to my files but hey might be copies.
    I *dont* want to end up with a ton of duplicate files on my new machine like I *know* I have on my windows machine. It just eats up too much space.
    What I want to do is have one place for all of the pictures to go, and all of the music files to go, and every time there are new pics or music, it all goes there. But I want my wife to have a "smaller" music library than me (she just plain doesn't want the "clutter" of seeing my music and having to sort through it to check it/uncheck it to put it on her iPad - she's a clutter-free freak even with digital files). For photos I want to use one iPhoto library so that if she goes in there and tags some phots with some keyword or event or adds new pics, then I see those things when I open my iPhoto (I honestly don't even know how to use iPhoto to manage my pics, my iMac is till in the box). I want her to have her data under her login and my data under mine, etc. In short, there things I want shared between the two of us, and things I don't, without duplicate files eating up the space on my 500Gb internal hard drive.
    Additionally I am considering a 500Gb external drive, and rather than using it for straight up storage, using it as a time machine backup of the whole system. I am looking at a FireWire800 drive for better performance.
    I'd like to get this right the first time, but don't know enough about how os x works/sets up user accounts, and/or the best, most efficient way to set up the new iMac from the get go. I don't know if I should set up all four accounts first, then add my data/music/pics manually, or use the "migration assistant" (I have read a bit about using it but honestly don't know how it works, or if it will do what I want).
    Perhaps I could just print out this email and pay for apple one-to-one service, but I thought I'd check here first! Sorry for such a long post - but I am hoping I'm not the only one who has wanted to make the switch and start off on the right path! And it's a lot easier to learn from other peoples experience than to figure it all out on my own!
    PS: don't know if it matters much, but I also hav an iPhone that I sync with my iTunes, and I'm concerned about losing the configuration/apps/music/movies on both my iPad and my iPhone when I make the switch. Thoughts? Should I be concerned? How do I do it correctly?

    You have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. Give them a call and they can help you set it up, however to be honest you are way over thinking this, those old PC habits die hard! My recommendation is, take it out of the box, read the manual carefully and turn the thing on following the on-screen instructions and start enjoying your new iMac.
    BTW as new switcher I would also recommend book marking the following URLs

  • HT1175 I am trying to setup my Time capsule via a ethernet cable as a back up for a new iMac. The on button on the time capsule set up window keeps failing to stay on. Any ideas what to do?

    I am trying to setup my Time capsule via a ethernet cable as a back up for a new iMac. The on button on the time capsule set up window keeps failing to stay on. Any ideas what to do?

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

    Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
    Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
    But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
    Hmm, ideas anyone?

  • I've forgotten my Wi-Fi password for a network set-up years ago and am trying to include a new iMac on the same network. How can I do this?

    I've forgotten my wi-fi password for a home network set-up years ago on a Powerbook. I'm now trying to add a new iMac to the same network so I can have 2 hooked up. How can I retrieve my password for the network I created or can I set-up a new one? I did try the latter, but it didn't seem to work on the new iMac for some reason. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    HI, Welcome to the Forums...
    The password may be stored in your keychain on the system you set up the original PowerBook.
    Run KeyChain access in the utilities filder and see if you have a Airport base station password entry, from this you can reveal the password.

  • What's the best way to set up new imac for logic etc?

    In brief:
    Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
    The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
    Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
    Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
    Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
    Thanks.

    Adding to babowa, enable the system firewall in System Preferences>Security>Firewall tab. Click Advanced and check Stealth Mode.
    Lion is a pretty steady and secure operating system, and as there really aren't MANY Mac viruses, there ARE viruses out there still. OS X is pretty good about letting you know if you do accidently download a virus, and it will help you throw it away if it detects one, such as the MACDefender virus. OS X has built in security features such as sandboxing that doesn't allow viruses in as easily as a Windows PC. As for hackers, as long as you have the firewall enabled and a secure password (for your computer and email accounts), then you should be fine.
    It's the user that lets the virus in, not the computer (unless there's some untold serious vulnerability in OS X, which is highly unlikely). Keep your apps up to date, don't download pirated software, and be street smart on the internet. Don't download things or visit websites that you don't think are real. Safari includes a Phishing feature that automatically detects known phishing sites, protecting you from that big problem. Keep your passwords secure and you should be fine.
    There are antivirus solutions out there, one notable one available in the AppStore is Intego's VirusBarrier (free and plus versions), if you feel you still need one.
    I wouldn't worry about it. Windows users who switch to Mac are always asking these questions.
    Here's some good reading as well
