PC guy look for iMac w/ FCE info

I have been researching FCE/HD on the 'net and spent the afternoon at the local Mac store playing with 24" iMac and iMovie & iDVD (they did not have a machine with FCE/HD on display) This was the first time I had ever touched a Mac. I have most of my questions answered but am looking for some unbiased input on three iMac options. Specifically I am trying to decide if cost is justified on the following three options:
1) 2.16Ghz v 2.33Ghz processor speed; $250 difference
2) 1gb v 2gb memory; $175 difference
3) 128mb v 256mb video card; $125 difference
I already have a house full of PCs so I will be adding the iMac to my collection and my intent is to have it used solely for video editing/authoring.
thanks for any advice you can give.

1) ... I wouldn't care for 200MHz more...
2) ... more is better..
3) ... has a Mac a video card...? , as said above, for gamers ...
but...:
you need lotsof harddrive space.. add as much as you can afford.. probably, an external, firewire connected one offers a better price/GB ratio... BEFORE usage, use Apple's DiskUtility to format to "MacOsExtended".. to avoid any trouble..
.. and if you like to 'waste' some money, add this to your FCE workstation:
Contour ShuttleXPress
50$ in the apple.store ... adds that "pro"-feeling ...

Looking for Imac (mid2011) Product link

Looking for Imac (mid2011) link. I bought/built my iMac through the apple store in Aug 2012. I wanted to go in and PDF the specs the way it showed when i built it and the picture displays of the hook ups and etc but i cannot find the page anymore as it only goes to the newest iMac. Did anyone save those pictures or have a link to a site where i can view them?

Have you looked at the user guide for the mid-2011 iMac?
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_mid2011_ug.pdf
That shows all the ports and features quite clearly.
Regards.

Looking for a little more info on Playstation 3 on Apple 20" display

Sorry to ask for more info on this. I did find some other threads, but looking for a bit more direction.
First, let me say I have a bunch of old tube TV's and am looking to purchase a Playstation 3. Using Playstation 3 on a tube TV seems kind of stupid, especially when I have a great LCD monitor sitting right on my desktop.
I looked at solution from Elgato. However they said they are not making any more units and when it sells out it is gone. So I am a little weary of purchasing something that may no longer be supported. Their solution does provide video capture and DVR capabilities as well, which I could also use.
Other then that, I am wondering if there are any other solutions that people could recommend. I do plan on buying a LCD or Plasma TV in the near future, but until then, I would like to purchase a Playstation 3. Just looking for any advice of any kind from others. Thanks.

I have the same 20 inch Apple Display. If you have the newer DVI right?
if so HDMI to DVI will not work well EyeTV from Elgato is still in the Mac store near me I have the 200 FireWire you want the 250 USB2 to do live. I have had the 200 FW for three years it is great.
Having said that I did buy The Mitsubishi LCD LT-46231 : 46"
1080p LCD Flat Panel HDTV ($4,600)
I love it for computer use it was made for it. The HDTV is so good with cable and better with Blue-Ray which your PS3 has!
http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/j/i/18326/TelevisionDetails/LT46231.html?cid=377
I would if you don't want to spend allot on a 1080p LCD (being more then 2k) The Mitsubishi LT-37131 LCD Flat Panel HDTV ($1,699) . Sony & Samsung both are the same LCD. Mitsubishi is better then Samsung/Sony allot better when used with a computer (it is the only new LCD maker that has a VGA & DVI port just for Computers)
Both of the Mitsubishi Link's you will like as one is a money saver.

Looking for resource: accessing session info from JPS portlets

Hi! The Portal Developer's Guide 10g Release 10.1.4, section 7.2.5 shows how to access session information from PDK portlets. I'm looking for information (tutorials, books) on how to do this from JPS portlets in the Oracle Portal environment.
Thx!

If u are using JSPProvider, then for getting the Session variable, peruse the below points:
JSPProvider p=(JSPProvider)pageContext.getAttribute("JSPProvider");
Session ses=p.getSession();

Looking for iMac G5 17 inch Rev. 1 Tear down guide...

Hello,
I have been through literally every post I can think of trying to find the tear down manual for my aged, yet loved iMac G5 (17inch REV 1). So far all I can find is links to the newer 17inch iSight... the problem with that is the lower fan (CPU fan) and shroud DOES NOT come off using the instructions from the newer model. Forcing any harder than I have would surely lead to breakage.
I have the noisy fan issue and I am looking to take this apart and either clean and reuse or replace the fan entirely. But again I can get no further than removing the shroud from the processors heat sink. The machine works perfectly aside from the jet engine like scream of the CPU fan. And I would like to take as little apart on the machine as possible.
So if any of the guru's (I say that will all love and affection) can point me in the direction of the REV 1 17 inch tear down manual or better yet, have tackled this job themselves I would be eternally grateful for some pointers!
Thanking you in advice,
DJPerry

Sorry, I've run into the same problem you have, all the info is for the Rev B. I've looked everywhere and come up with nothing. I guess you'll have to figure it out and then post pictures so others can be helped

Looking for Bookmark and Logon info replacements for similar win apps.

switching from pc to mac...
I used Favorites for bookmarks and RoboForm to fill in logon info. I need to find a new approach...I use a combination of macs and pcs AND IPHONE 3G.
For bookmarks, a web based service sounds logical. It looks like del.icio.us is one of the best...it seems to be featured on many web sites, easy to use, works across all platforms and browsers. Do anyone have any comments or other suggestions?
For logon info, I am thinking of 1Password mainly because they have an IPHONE 3G client. Any comments or suggestions?
It would be nice if one web based applicaton could do both, but I have not found one.
Thanks
bob

If you're switching from using a PC to a Mac, then you don't need to synchronize any bookmarks; you can just keep them in your browser, like nearly everyone else. Why reinvent the wheel when the one you have works perfectly well?
As for 1Password, it's the best tool of it's type out there.

divy's last post was the post you replied to from February. Nobody else replied. You aren't going to get much benefit from bumping the thread versus creating your own thread.
Do you have the same version of LabVIEW? What OS are you using? Are you able to do anything else with LabVIEW or are you running into errors only when you use this functionility?

Looking for iMac compatible natural ergonomic split keyboard

Hi,
Now that I have a new iMac, I really miss the ergonomic split keyboard from my pc. It is frustrating going back and making corrections for my poor typing skills on a standard keyboard.
I went to Made4Mac and found choices, but couldn't tell if any have at the very least, the same keys as the standard Apple board. If anyone out there has had the same frustrations with the standard keyboard and found a good split one, please reply, thanks!

"The split board that I was using on my pc does not have a usb cable only ps2."
There are ps2-to-USB adapters out there. This for example:

Looking for Phone Simulators

iOS the the simulator comes with the develioper licence
Android, well thats fun beyond the basic dev kit you'll need tons of phones as they all are a bit different
cant comment on WIndows Phones

Hi guys,
Looking for in-browser or even downloadable simulators for iOS, Android and Windows Phones if these even exist?
Reason being we get alot of IT support queries on these devices, but all our staff use iPhones so when we get Android and Windows Phone queries were all stumped, and nobody wants to get one of those phones.
So, short of buying one of each device, I was wondering if there were any full-blown sims around? Ive found a couple of in-browser ones, but they are just for testing how your website looks etc, but I want to be able to set-up e-mail etc etc.
Cheers guys

What do you look for when buying a new printer?

Ease of use and good drivers.

Time Capsule "looking for backup disk" problems, running Lion on 24" iMac

Hi,
I'm having problems with my Time Capsule. I can't get the backups to run for about a week. The backup just says "looking for backup disk" for ever. This is a first gen Time Capsule, and it's still working fine for two MacBooks in the house. I have all the Apple updates installed, and I'm running 10.7.2. In Preferences, Time Capsule, I can see the available/of space and there is plenty left. It's not showing any Oldest and Latest date info for backups.
If I go to "select disk" and choose the Time Capsule, I'm prompted for the password. When I press "Connect", the message changes to "Stopping Backup" and this will run for ever. I have plenty of disk space available, have repaired permissions, have booted in safe mode, reset pram and nvram and probably a few other options to no avail. I can enter the Time Machine and see all of my backups without problem.
As a side note, I have also noticed instability whereby various programs have been 'not responding' of late, and need to be force quit. Once that happens, the iMac won't properly shut down and restart; I usually need to how down the power button.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm having the same problem. Anyone have a fix?

Buying Used iMac - What to look for?

Hello,
I'm a devoted mac user. I currently own a late 2008 unibody Macbook, and have been looking for an upgrade. I came across a used iMac posting on a craigslist-like website. The configuration is a low-end mid-2011 21" iMac (quad core i5, 4gb, 500gb).
I asked the seller for the serial number and checked it out the support site. The warranty is due to run out on Thursday, just enough time for me to buy extended AppleCare. The price seems reasonable (approx $730 whereas a new iMac is $1200), and I've asked to see the iMac in person tomorrow. I wanted to know what to look for when making the final decision.
Also do you think I should hold out for an Ivy Bridge iMac (rumoured to be coming soon??) or will it not make a difference for normal coding/browsing (no photo/video editing/gaming)? One factor discouraging me is that Apple has hitched up the prices for the newly released Macbooks here in India (the base 13" pro used to be $1250, now $1530!!!).
Thanks a lot!
Meghana

Then you have to make sure the original owner releases their account at Apple or purchases and upgrades will be impossible.
Oh! Had no idea about this... how does one release the account? I mean, is there a way i can check it on the machine itself? The applecare site doesn't show any registration info.
Thanks!!
