Ordering bumpers using iMac running OS-10.4.11
My phone was bought thru AT&T and my iMac runs OS-10.4.11 and when I connect the iPhone to the computer, it tells me it requires OS-10.5.8; so what can I do? Go 45 miles to an Apple store?
The Apple store is only selling OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). You'll have to see if your computer can support this OS (must have an Intel processor).
If not, you can probably find OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on Ebay.

Can't use iMac running OS 9.0.4 for the internet
Hi! I appreciate any help you can give me. I've got an older iMac that I just want to use to access the internet for my kids. Here is all the info from the machine I can think might be useful:
Mac OS: 9.0.4, Mac OS ROM 5.5.1
Processor: PowerPC G3
Speed: 400MHz
Build-in Memory: 64MB SDRAM
Video Memory: 8MB
Backside L2 cache: 512K
Harddrive: ATA, 10.20GB
Like I said, I just want to use it for internet access, but as far as I can tell, there are no up-to-date OS 9 browsers, and NONE of them will run any web page my kids want to visit that have Java, Flash, etc., which is 99.999% of the web-sites. In other words, the computer is useless as-is for what I want it to do. As far as I can tell, I need to update to OS X to get a browser that anyone bothers to update, but to do that, I need to update the RAM on the machine. I can free-update to the base version of OS X from the apple web-site, right? How much will a 512MB memory card run me? What's the cheapest source? Since I am the furthest thing from a Mac expert you have ever met, I could easily be WAY off on any of my assumptions, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Two tangential questions:
(1) Someone told me that back when I bought the machine (I bought it from my local Apple computer store) the memory should have been upgraded for free. Was I ripped off by the retailer?
(2) I noticed in my research that my particular model - a slot loading "red" iMac with the specifications I outlined above, should have come with a DVD-Rom. However, my machine has a CD-ROM. Was I ripped off by the retailer?
Thanks again for any help & advice.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)Welcome to the Apple Computer Discussions! With the release of the iPhone, the Discussions are a disaster area!
If your iMac has a slot-loading CD, it is readily expandable without too much fuss. If it is a tray-loader, it must be thoroughly dis-assembled to make the upgrades.
One of these may be its official spec:
http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacSlotLoading.html
http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacEarly2001.html
If so, there are two desktop-Mac style DIMM slots on its bottom under an easily removable door.
This vendor has a very good memory selector, good prices, and good service. I especially like that they tell you what they are shipping, and that what they deliver is true to their promise:
http://www.datamemorysystems.com/G3iMacMemory.asp
Unfortunately, you cannot update to Mac OS X (any version) by free download -- you will have to buy a set of CDs, and you should not pay money for anything before 10.2 Jaguar at the absolute minimum. 10.3 Tiger is more stable, easier to install, faster and more pleasant to use, and has much more software available to run with it, including printer drivers and utilities. It is similar to 10.4, but is missing some scripting, desktop Widgets, Spotlight searching and indexing, and a few other features you may or may not crave.
You will need a "Full Retail" CD set, with a black or white background and a large stylized X on the face. Orange or Gray CDs will not be adequate -- they are for other specific Macs, not yours. You can trawl eBay and other secondary sources for the best bargains, or shop from this seller has what you want at pretty good prices, shipping included, and good service:

Help me watch HBO GO on my tv using iMac running Lion, wi-fi blu-ray, and/or Xbox for really cheap
Here's my setup:
iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I use my iMac as my wi-fi router
Lion 10.7.4
iPhone 4S
LG LCD tv
LG BD570 blu-ray w/ wi-fi
XBOX 360 (I do *not* have the XBOX Gold membership)
Comcast is my cable provider and I am an HBO subscriber
I suspect I can just hook up the iMac to the tv...but the iMac and the tv are rooms apart, so that's not going to happen. I also know that if I had the XBOX gold membership I could use that, but that's $60 and I don't want to pay that much. I also know a Roku would work, but again, I'd prefer not to have to spend $$ if possible.
I thought I had found a solution in PlayOn, but then realized it only works on Windows machines.
Can anyone recommend a way for me to access HBO GO on my tv using any of the above components? Thanks!Use a dedicated device like a Roku, once you hook it up it's done.
Cheapest way possible, all others is more money and time spend trying to get it to work and it won't 100%. -
Using iMac running OS 10.6.7. I've tried Beta ver 4 before (2x's) and each time I had to revert to older version since I was unable to import all my bookmarks, etc. after following all the right steps. I have them saved as HTML and json files. Neither works in ver 4 now. I am stuck. I've Googled fixes, but now need your help to resolve this incessant problem.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I have a new (used) iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. It has been completely wiped clean for the sale to me. I am new to Mac OSX and need guidance as to what I should install to make it run smoothly
I recommend Apple refurb store. They're practically new and have the full warranty.

I have an Airport Express that I am trying to use connected by ethernet to my iMac G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. I need to update the Airport Express softwart in order to use security option WPA2 Personal to connect to the internet through my Airport Extreme. I currently have Airport Express software version 5.6.1. How can I update this software? (I can connect directly to my Airport Extreme by ethernet and download the update that way). Is a later version of A E software available for download anywhere? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.11 "Tiger" here:

Messages 7.0.1 on 2011 iMac running 10.8.2 showing messages out of order
I'm having an issue with the Messages (v.7.0.1) application on my 2011 iMac running OS 10.8.2. My iMessage conversations sync from my iPhone 5 to Messages on my computer, but when my computer comes out of sleep, all messages from one side of the conversation are shown first, and my side shown second. Essentially, the Messages app is ignoring the time sent and not showing any texts in the correct chronological order while my computer was sleeping/off.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Or possibly have a solution? It's quite obnoxious.Hi,
It was first reported in Messages Beta.
If the App was Off line on the Mac and conversation took place via an iPhone or iPad and then the Mac was turned On and Messages Started then the iPhone conversation would start to sync.
This is not instant and plays out like a speeded up chat.
Any subsequent iMessages in that conversation are sent by the servers immediately and get mixed up with the "historical" catch-up.
People are reporting that similar issues are still happening in the Messages up despite the version 7.0.1 update.
I have seen claims that if you shut down Messages and restart it then it will look to the Time Stamps and place things in order.
I cannot replicate this
iPhone end
Mac end.
On the 29th the iPhone got a Message reply repeated.
Some Items from the Mac never made it to the iPhone (it's my iPhone and it should be syncing things)
The Mac never showed the Tesco/Lettuce conversation.
I would use the old iChat Feedback page to report this.
Messages is iChat+ and the versions numbers are sequential

I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !Graham Giles wrote:
Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive? -

I have an Intel iMac running OSX 10.6.8. I would like to use Final Cut Pro 10.1. I know I need OSX 10.9 for this. Can I run both 10.6.8 and 10.9 on the iMac ? I do not want to convert completely to 10.9 because of my existing software. Thanks for any help
It would depend on how old your IMac is, how mush memory you have, it it can be upgraded by OWC, etc. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro and would NOT put Mavericks on it or espeacially FCP 10.1.1 on it because the most memory it can have is 4 GB. You need at least 8 GB to work with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. IMHO.
I would try to find a copy of Final Cut Express perhaps.

I have 2T imac running lion Can I re-partition and use one half as a back up disk?
Bought a new mac in November and it is refused to start up yesterday. Spoke with Apple and they said I should make sure I do regular back ups in case I l ose my hard drive?!?! I did a clean install of the Operating software but was advised to erase and install.
I have taken all my important stuff off and can reinstall my programs once I get to the next stage so what I am wondering is
I have 2T imac running lion Can I re-partition and use one half as a back up disk for use with time machine so that I do not have to buy an external HD?
Cheers JYou could partition the drive, I read that Time Machine will work on if you HD partition.
BUT, it will do you no good if you HD fails.
Usually, if a HD fails it's the entire drive that is dead not just a partition.
So your time machine back would be on a dead disk, useless!
