Question about Intel iMac's and Airport

I'm going to be purchasing an Intel iMac within the next few months and I just want to make sure I have my facts straight about the Airport issues. Is it true that the Airport issues only occur if you're using an Airport base station (do they not occur if you use a third-party base station?). And do you think the issues would affect the speed of my 512k Internet connection? If anyone could post their own experiences, that would be great.

Hello,
I have been a P.C. user form the beginning of time the VIC 20 to "08088 processor", Windows 1.0 to XP-sp2 and I have made a big change in our life and my family but we are not disappointed but surprised. Make the big step Apple is on the right track and going to be the top. As for your question don't worry.
My opinion
About your issues, if your are on DSL there are many issues. IMac is not the your problem it would be your provider. For airport no problem, third-party I would choose linksys. My choice for connection is Cable high speed..
Take care, Bill

Question about Intel iMacs

I'm thinking about upgrading from my 20" G5 iMac to a new 24" 2.8 iMac and was curious about a few games. I'm not a big gamer by any means, but do enjoy Call of Duty and Medal of Honor. Both of these are PowerPC based. I assume I will need to repurchase these as Universal?

As mediocre as the imac is for games, you would want an Intel version of any game for sure - at least for any demanding game. It all depends on how taxing the game is on the computer. I'd look for some forums that are specific to your games and ask other gamers with similar computers because each game is very unique in its requirements. After 200 days of accumulated WoW playing, I can say I am no longer a gamer .

ANOTHER Question about my iMac G3. Mac OS X and RAM

Hey, I have ANOTHER question about my iMac G3.
I know that I'm supposed to have the latest firmware updates for my iMac G3 running OS 8.1, which I do, but I read some where these firmware updates could only be updated if you're running OS 9.2. Yet when I run the firmware updater, it says my firmware is up to date. I just wanted to make sure this was correct because I just ordered an OS X 10.2 CD today, and I don't want my mac to be "dead" when I install it.
My next question is how much RAM can my mac hold. It's an iMac G3 with a 233 mhz processor, if that makes a differemce.
Again, thanks to the people who have helped me with my first Mac.

hi there--
unfortunately you require system 9.1 or 9.2 for the required firmware update 1.2 for your computer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117. so you'll have to install that if you want to install 10.2. it may work for you for a little while, but then you could possibly lose all your information. so i wouldn't advise attempting installing 10.2 without the correct firmware.

Tiger on iNtel iMac "Printing" over Airport to HP 2100M

Nice new iNtel iMac 2GHz running Airport Extreme can't print via Airport to a networked HP 2100M. The HP has an EIO card and it's connected to the LAN by that cable.
I have an old iMac that's hardwired to an ethernet hub that's being driven by the AEB and the HP 2100M is also connected to that hub.
The old iMac sees the printer and prints just fine.
The new Intel iMac doesn't see the HP over Appletalk and I'm not able to figure out how to setup the new iMac to print via Airport using the IP address of the HP printer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here's a 30,000 ft level view of my LAN:
Internet Cloud =>Comcast Cable ISP =>Cable Router
AEB =>Linksys Ethernet Hub
•iMac 350MHz (don't laugh. She's still a beauty) OSX 10.2.8
•HP 2100M with Network EIO card
iNtel iMac (sees the Internet just fine via AEB, but can't see the printer for patootie!)
iNtel iMac 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) HP 2100M with EIO network card, AEB LAN,

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I power cycled the cable modem, AEB, router hub, and the printer and the iMac still can't "see" the printer.
I've looked at the Airport discussions and this problem is a larger issue than the iNtel iMacs. It sounds like it's probably an AEB issue.
I'm running the latest firmware to no avail. It almost sounds to me in the Apple literature that they only support USB printing through Airport. This would be a serious blunder as the business world relies more on networked server based laserwriters than USB dot matrix printers.

Hi All, I have question about the iMac operating system. I have the last updated. The problem when I manage the place of the folder windows they are all mixing up. I mean they not on the place where I left them. how to set they stay on the same place? I know there are different possibilities to set.
I tried but it not helped for me. What I can do? How and where can set this they stay on their place?
Thanks.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Quick (and urgent) Question about Intel G5's

Just a quick question about the new intel G5's.
I currently have bunch of software for my PPC G5 which is a Dual 2ghz. Software includes Adobe CS2, Macromedia Studio, Quark 6, etc, etc.
If I purchase the new intel mac, would I be able to use the same software? or would I be forced to purchase a whole new set of everything I currently have?
If the software will work on the intel G5, would it perform at the same rate/better than how it performs now on my PPC g5?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Rosetta:
Most of the time you get a real 'hit' when a program first opens that is PPC. Very sluggish. They will require and use more memory than otherwise, too.
Tests from last August aren't as helpful, there have been improvements, letting the Mac Pro pull even further ahead.
http://www.barefeats.com/quad06.html
Comparison Mac Models shows scores of all models. So there is 2x as much or more processing power, bandwidth, better video, as well as disk drives. A 'base' configuration would be 4-6GB RAM.
And there are differences, more than between G4 and G5.
People with experience would be Mac Pro Discussions
Don't use Migration Assistant, and upgrade to CS3 etc. reinstall all your applications fresh.
There are some drivers and plug-ins, that can be problems, and known.

Just some tech questions about my iMac (OS 9 & Classic)

Hi everyone, thought this is the fastest way to get an answers pertaining to my iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor/Pre-iSight):
- Does it support Classic?
- Does it boot into OS 9?
- Does it has a built-in modem (port)?
I know I know the last question seems stupid, but I am at work, can't look behind my iMac at home, need these answers quick 'cause I am thinking of selling it to my cousin who has been using a G4 Cube, so I can upgrade to an Intel iMac... ha ha ha
Thanks all and cheers

Have a look here, it has all the specs. It also says you cannot boot into OS 9.
Hope this helps,
Miriam

Can I transfer all my old os 9 fonts to my new intel imac? And if so, how?

Thanks in advance to all who can and will answer this question.
Needless to say I am a total newbie to OSX. Got a intel imac for Christmas (very lucky!!! Nice Santa!!)
Like it states below, I have been using a G4 in os9.2, and I have all these lovely fonts (Adobe and Trutype, etc.) That I am hoping to somehow use. I would hate to think that i have to purchase all new openface versions.
I have extensis fontDoctor 7.3, and rumor has it, it will convert fonts, is this true? And if so, how? And if not, does anyone know if there is an extention or software that will do this. Please Help!!!
Me and my wallet thank you again.
IMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) was running a older G4 in os9.2

From the article, I would think that your Postscript fonts should be supported just fine;
Mac OS X delivers industry-leading support for popular font formats:
• PostScript Type 1 (with double-byte support). Adobe PostScript fonts launched the desktop publishing industry and are used today by publishers, corporations, and government agencies for high-quality output to laser printers, imagesetters, and platesetters. Each PostScript font requires two files, one for the screen and one for use by the printer's RIP (raster image processor). Mac OS X is the only operating system that provides native PostScript Type 1 font support.
• OpenType. OpenType fonts (extension .otf) can contain 65,000 different glyphs, so type can be set in non-Roman languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. There are Macintosh- and Windows-specific OpenType formats; Mac OS X supports both.
• TrueType. TrueType fonts (extension .ttf) are typically used in home and office environments. A single file contains both screen and printer font information. Mac OS X supports both Macintosh- and Windows-specific TrueType formats.
• Multiple Master. This special type of PostScript font allows variation of one or more font parameters (such as weight) to create a large number of custom styles, also known as instances. Mac OS X can activate already created instances of Multiple Master fonts.
In your case aren't the Bitmap files the screen fonts, so you can wysiwyg the raaster files?
The classic environment still runs on the PowerPC Macs, many of which are also running Mac OS X 4.X. The article was addressed generally to all OS X users.
I have heard of Sheep Shaver to run the Classic OS 9 in emulation, but I gave up OS 9 in late 2001, so I have never needed to explore this option. Some have posted that it didn't work so well.

Intel imac, viruses, and dwg's

Hello, I am looking to upgrade my G4 imac to a G5 Isight or intel. My questions are 1)will the intel unit allow viruses to interact when running XP programs in XP operating system? 2)Is anyone using any autocad type programs on a mac OS that would read or convert DWG's. Autocad is the only program that I have running that would need XP(or windows). If I can get away from autocad I can stay with a G5 which seems to be better at the current time for speed and performance. Any info would to helpful. Thanks
imac g4 Mac OS X (10.3.5)
imac g4 Mac OS X (10.3.5)
imac g4 Mac OS X (10.3.5)
imac g4 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

I haven't found an inexpensive AutoCad alternative for the Mac, at least not one that I liked. Most were expensive, some didn't have features that I use a lot, and one was buggy though it had some nice features I liked. If you just want a viewer, there appear to be some out there (a Google search of osx dwg got me a few links) but I haven't tried them.
I have AutoCad LT 2000 and I run it under Parallels on my Intel iMac with Windows 2000 as the guest system. There is a little bug related to the Acad crosshair and the cursor (often both are there, not just the crosshair) but otherwise it has been working flawlessly for what I do and is very usable, speed-wise. When running it in full-screen mode, it's like I'm using it on a PC. I imagine it would work on a G5 with Microsoft's Virtual PC, though probably too slow to be usable on a day-to-day basis. I also assume that newer and more professional versions of Acad would work with the setup I have, though I can't verify they'd be as speedy.
As a side note, one thing I noticed when checking out emulators was that XP ran much slower than Windows 2000 as a guest operating system. So I stuck with Windows 2000.

Questions about JVC GZ HD7 and Final Cut

i'm planning to buy a JVC GZ HD7, but i have some questions about it...
My imac configuration is
Imac 20" late 2006
1 Gb Ram
Leopard 10.5.2
Final Cut Studio 2
Ok
So my questions are:
1- When shooting the best setting for me is the 1440cbr, or 1920x1080
is better? i would like to have progressive instead of interlaced
moviefiles, but for what i have read the JVC HD7 only shoots interlaced...is possible to turn them into progressive after working in final cut?
2- In Final Cut Pro what are the sequence settings and the video
settings for a video shoot from this camera?
I would like to know the best settings possible for me,
regarding that i would like to edit in real time, no rendering needed,
and to have the best image quality that this camera can offer...

FCE is designed to work with DV/HDV files. It cannot work natively with MPEG2 files. You will need something like MPEG Streamclip to convert your files to a format that FCE understands
Streamclip is free but you need to buy Apple's MPEG Playback Component to make it work

White Intel iMac display and crash fix

My 20" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo had become almost useless due to freezes and crashes- with NO crash reports in the logs.
They were often preceeded by video glitches, so I assumed it was a bad video card- unfortunately soldered to mother board.
Apparently, from forum postings, this is not an uncommon problem. The computer would run longer if the day was cooler, but rarely more than 10 minutes, so I suspected it was aggravated by heat.
Then I found this post from Bodomann on an Apple Support forum:
"Following up on my previous posting regarding my son's late model 2006 iMac that required a $900 logic board replacement:
Turns out the problem is apparently related to a bad CPU temp sensor. I installed 'iMac Fan Control' (Google it) which reported the CPU temp always at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (obviously incorrect). The same software allowed me to adjust the CPU fan manually. After multiple trials I set the CPU speed to 2800RPM after which the system would run forever - never freezing with the dreaded grey box 'reboot me' screen. I tried several times reverting the software to default speeds and the system would always crash within 10 minutes. "
I downloaded free Fan Control 1.2 for Imac from Derman Enterprises (they have an Intel iMac and a Mac Book/Pro version). It installs as a system preferences control panel. I cranked up all three fan speeds. The fans sped up noticeably. Horizontal lines have gone from screen (so far), no color artifacts and no crashes yet. I may have a real computer back! Hope Apple checks this out-
The control panel also gives the temps sensors are reporting at the CPU, hard drive and DVD drive. The CPU sensor reports the CPU temp as 32 degrees F- which is clearly wrong, unless Apple has been installing little refrigerators inside.
So thanks to Bodomann for posting- Hats off and three cheers to Derman and Cristoph for source code.

Foregone you have saved my life! I was fed up and disgusted with the way this machine was behaving, always freezing and crashing and with the crazy random horizontal lines. Then I downloaded the Fan Control 1.2 and have had a crash-free, line-less night ever since.
I had tried adding more RAM, cleaning the vents, the old "zap the PRAM" trick from back in the day, even my Mac guru buddy hadn't a clue what to do. After many searches on this forum to try to figure out the line issue (thinking it was a graphics card problem), not even thinking I could ever fix the crashing issue, I stumble upon your post and now I am the savior of the family. My computer game-loving 13 year old boy just about cried with joy. Now his games won't crash all the time!

Question about the IMAC G4?

hi everyone,
i recently made the switch to mac about 2 months ago and i now own a macbook pro c2d. i wish i made the switch a few years ago when the imac g4's were out.
my question is, is the imac g4 still worth getting? i love the design of that model. it looks so cool to me. i've been seeing them on ebay, i'm not sure if i should pull the trigger or not. what's the going price for a 17"?
is it too outdated already? i really wouldn't mind having a desktop. i wish they kept that design with the current imacs. anyways, your comments will be greatly appreciated, and if i posted in the wrong area, i'm sorry. thanks

Hi Joe,
in addition to these excellent advices:
As a Lucky iLamp Owner myself too, I'd tend to say yes, go for it, but:
- Be prepared for a hard drive failure or such an important failure after three years and no more AppleCare Protection Plan possibilities left.
It would mean take-apart, and some more money to spend.
If you're lucky, nothing will happen yet for a few more years. If not, I think this Mac is so great it's worth the hassle/money.
- As a brody mentioned, take only a USB 2.0 (1.25 GHz) model, the last ones.
Best option: the 20-inch, because it has a slightly heavier and stronger "neck" support system.
- At least 1 GB RAM (that's 512 MB in both Factory slot and User slot).
You can install up to 2 GB (1 GB + 1 GB) RAM on the latest 1.25 GHz models.
- Buy it only if it has the original grey Panther (10.3.x) install DVD (contains Hardware Test) and the original grey Additional Software CD (iLife 4, games, AppleWorks...).
You can choose to make it a great Panther machine, or a great Tiger machine too with a retail Tiger install disc. Runs both systems beautifully.
- If you don't find one at Apple Refurbished (these ones unfortunately generally come with minimum RAM), better test it with the owner: DVD drive, System Profiler, spheric speakers, how "loose" is the neck (some rare have this problem of not holding up anymore, watch laterally too), etc.
Good luck!
A great idea IMO to complete your MacBook Pro.
