Really need imac 21.5 with video input!!!

I am current considering selling my PC and buying an iMac. Even though the Hardware of iMac is still not enough for playing games, I am using PS3 for all the video games so that an iMac with video input is perfect for my situation, however the 27 inch iMac model is too large for my desk and the 21.5 iMac version does not have this functionality. Really hope that the new iMac 21.5 model would come with this functionality even if it is as expensive.

  • I really need iCloud to work with 10.6

    I guess i am yet another Apple user for over 20 years being loyal to the products and purchased quite a lot of them including several rounds of Laptops and every iPhone out there. Now i was also using my .mac account with later turned into mobileme...
    ...and now turned into iCould.
    I don't mind change though, but i really need my data to be snyced on all my machines including my MacBookPro which runs on 10.6.8. This is my main machine, and a lot of software runs on it every day which cannot run on Lion, plus that this machine would face sercious performance issues with Lion, my printer would not work anymore because there are no drivers for a KonikaMinolta 2340 DL, so there are a lot of issues that require this MacBookPro to stay with Snow Leopard, aonther OS that i purchased. I also purchased a  MacBook Air 11' with Lion, another investment, and all works together smoothly, why now taking away the syncing with Snow Leopard?
    So please Apple, don't make me throw away half of my office and face serious new investments that i cannot effort as of yet to get this to work.
    When will iCloud be available for 10.6?
    You have told us how easy it is to switch rom PC to Mac since it all runs without any problems and driver hazzle.
    Is this still the case?
    I'd say then you ought to stick with that promise to ensure that not only new users will be to get onboard, but the loyal once to stay with it too.
    Please let me knonw when you have a solution!
    Thanks

    This is a user-to-user forum: you're not addressing Apple here.
    You can set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
    You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    There is no suggestion whatever that Apple will update Snow Leopard to allow any more access to iCloud than that.

  • I really need some serious help with Encore import

    Ok I will start off by saying  Iam a complete and total newbie to this field.  I have produced a few small projects in premier and encore but nothing advanced until now.
    Here is what I have done
    I am using CS04 Suite
    I have built a Premier Project using AVCHD footage that is 2.5 hours long (roughly)
    I exported the final project using AME to H.264 so that I could import it into Encore
    The files is 16 GB in size
    I am trying to import the file as an asset into encore to build the menus,  I need to create 2 images in encore, one DVD image and 1 Blueray Image.  I am trying to do the DVD image at this time.  Encore allows the import, shows the video in the asset list but my hard drive has been running like a fool for 3 hours now,  I cant seem to drag it to the timeline, if I right click  I cant even access the Transcode setting of the file, my system is very sluggish.  It almost seems like it is pre-transcoding but I see no progress bars anywhere.
    Is Encore simply still importing the file?
    Am I doing this correctly?
    Should I break up the video into smaller files? Will I need to create multiple Premier Projectes to do so?
    If I wait long enough will it be ok?
    I have 6 days to finish this project... I really need your help !!!

    An external ESATA would do just fine.
    Keep all of your media on the external drive.  Only use the internal drive for Windows and your applications.
    Your quad-core and 4 GB of RAM is OK.  Not great (I'd get 2 GB of RAM per core), but OK.

  • You really need to come up with a fix since it's your update that is causing thunderbird to not download email! This is ridiculous!

    Like the rest of you......ever since the downloaded update, my email won't download my email from mail client. Has anyone solved this problem yet? I know some have said it's gone away on it's own, but so far not my case. I'm getting very frustrated, I thought I had found the perfect email that was close to MS Outlook and it was until this update. I really feel Thunderbird bears some responsibility for this, I know this is a free email program, but giving something for free then making it unusable isn't really very helpful. Anyone with a solution, please let me know. I depend on my email.......I'm Vendor chair for a Scottish Festival and can't deal with my vendors if I can't get my email.

    Hmmm, have you tried turning off your email scanning in your anti virus program?
    The number one cause of mail failure following update in anti virus software either just not coping with the new version or actively blocking it as it does not recognize the version number. People report it "goes away" as the anti virus gets an update from home marking the new version ok.
    The second most common reason is that it has nothing to do with the update at all, but the mail provider has changed the connection settings required and the customer has ignored the mail they have sent or simply did not understand them.
    The third reason is Thunderbird has a bug. It is rare, but does happen.
    If multiple account on multiple domains(Yahoo LIVE Google etc) stop working it is almost always security software.
    If a single account out of a number stops working or all accounts for a domain / Provider stop then it is a settings change.
    So the first line is to disable email scanning in the anti virus and check it's firewall that Thunderbird (all versions) is allowed full access to the internet.
    I would love to be able to organize fixes to this shoddy anti virus software, but there is nothing to be done. People keep paying for it and trusting it. It keep tripping them up.

  • I need help, my iMac is swamped with video data,  1 TB of space and 950 GB is used by my video data! Help... its getting ugly

    I have a 1 TB IMac, 950 GB of my iMac HD have been eaten alive by my Video Recordings of family events using my canon vixia hf 100 HD recorder.  I cannot use my computer now, due to lack of space on the hard drive.  I now own two 2 tb external hard drives.  All I want to do is make 2 DVD copies of each video event from imovie and have one back up of each event on one of my externals and another backup in my time machine which is on the other external.  It takes so long to transfer data  from my canon vixia hf 100 through imovie to a DVD.  I have swamped my Imac HD, and can't even burn a dvd to loosen the byte load.  Can i transfer my whole iMovie library to my free 2tb external and utilize it to maintain and store all iMovie data?????
    Help!

    Depending on which version of iMovie you have it could be very easy, when you attach the external hdd to the mac it will appear in iMovie as one of the 'locations' where projects/events can reside. And you would move them ONLY from within iMovie, not outside of it. This will help keep any current projects and the events associated with them from breaking.
    This is how it would work, attach the external hdd. Open iMovie go to the Projects Browser. Make sure you can see the external hdd in the list of devices. You then can drag the project directly over the icon of the external hdd. iMovie will ask you, do you want to move Events associated with this project? Go ahead and say yes and it will move the Events over too. So you might ask what about the events not already in a project? Well you can do the same thing down in the Event Browser too. Only you want to make sure iMovie knows you want to see all the hard drives attached to your computer not just the internal one. So there's an icon in the top right corner of the Event browser called Group Events by Disk. It has a cartoon icon of a hard drive on it. Just click it once to turn this on. You should now see the external hdd in the list. Drag all your Events onto that disk. So now for the moment of truth,. . .
    Go up to your project browser and open up one of the projects FROM the external hdd and skim it, edit, add do something with it. Switch to a different project on the external try the same thing. Go down to the Event browser and check out some events on the External HDD as well. It should all be the same as it was on the Internal HDD. Last Step: Delete the now duplicate/original Events/Projects on the Internal HDD. You have perfect working copies on the external and do not need to keep the originals on the Internal HDD. Any time from this point forward you will only open Events/Projects from the external hdd and save back to that location. And iMovie will take care of the rest of it for you.

  • IMac 20" freeze (with Video)

    My iMac crashes frequently and sometimes I can't even start it. I've made a small video with my mobile of it and need some ideas of how to fix it. I've to say that its worm here (currently 30°C indoor), but could that really be the problem?
    http://www.kl-mail.de/imac_crash.3gp

    I don't think it is the temperature in Germany, because it is usually 40°C here and I don't have problems.
    What I saw in your video is a kernal panic. I recommend that you use the link to Dr. Smoke's X-Lab website I will give you to read about kernal panics and potential causes and things you can do to troubleshoot a kernal panic.
    Resolving Kernel Panics
    However, I do not recommend that you work inside your iMac Intel because you will void your warranty. If you cannot resolve the issue with non-invasive approaches you need to contact an Authorized Apple technician for assistance.

  • NEED HELP. Problem with Video iChat

    Hi there. I'm kind of new to the Mac world. I have a MacBook with Leopard. I seem to having a problem getting a video chat session up and running. I can iChat no problem but if I send a video chat invite the person gets it and accepts it but I receive an error message stating that i did not receive a response. The person that I'm sending the invite to is also on a MacBook using Tiger. I have a .Mac account and she does not. She is using her AIM account. I believe that she also received an error message about an invalid IP. Any suggestions?

    Same problem.
    But I can video chat with other people, this issue only affects 1 person, and they too can chat with other people, but when we try it fails with her seeing the IP error, I get a the other person didn't respond msg. Which just adds to the confusion. I used to be able to conference with her so this is a new error. Both video and voice only chats are affected, text chats still work.
    I'm on 10.5.1 on a G5 Mac Pro and she is on 10.4.x on an Intel MacBook Pro
    I can't be sure but it may have started after I upgraded to 10.5, but I also recently updated my Netgear (DG834G) firmware to V3.01.31. I've tried opening up various ports, checked everything that has been mentioned on here to date. The error is 100% reproducible with this specific person, and I can still conference with other people but I think they are all on 10.5.x

  • Can I un-do a restore - I really need the 77 pictures and video's bad - and I have not done a backup in 45 days

    Help - I somehow did a restore on my iPhone and have lost all my pictures!  Can this be undone??

    No.
    You can only try to restore from the latest backup that may contain the photos.
    You should be importing pics taken with iphone regularly to your computer as you would with any digital camera.

  • I REALLY need to use MB with lid closed...

    Sleepless doesn't work after the upgrade, does anyone know of ANYTHING that will work right with this new update? I'm not using external keyboard/mouse btw.. thanks!!

    Are you trying this when the Mac is in motion, i.e., in your backpack? If you move the machine much when it is awake, you risk killing your harddrive. If you are trying this with the Macbook on a desk, just leave it open.
    Leaving laptops (eps. Macs) on and closed keeps heat from espcaping the way it is supposed to, possibly damaging your system. Apple designed their machines to sleep when shut for a reason.
    Just go buy a Nano.

  • Does FCE HD work with other input devices besides cameras?

    Hi,
    We are trying to do screen grabs and some motion video, in HD (720p) from another source that's not a camera.
    I'm having trouble finding a bridge or card or anything that will go from HD component RGB to firewire into the Mac. Except for AJA's Kona card, which they told me yesterday will not work with Final Cut Express...
    Any suggestions or does anyone have a Kona card?
    Thanks.

    I think I'm putting together an answer.
    I talked to both Aja and just now Blackmagic Design, and they said neither support Final Cut Express HD because it's only designed to input from firewire.
    We need a HD solution with component input right away, but Final Cut Studio is totally overkill for what we need software wise. Oh well.
    Hopefully trusty old Canopus will come out with a "mid-tier" HD solution down the road.
    thanks for the help.

    Just want to thank you for this brilliant solution. It worked!! I also want you to know that I actually went into the apple store today, and none of the clerks had any idea how to fix this. That excludes the ''genius bar'' which had a five hour wait for appointments! Thank you so much again, merrymusic

  • How to combine sound with video to an AVI Using IMAQ?

    I need to combine sound with video I capture and write it out as an AVI. Is there anyway in Labview to combine sound with and AVI? Or an easy to use third party product?

    Hello,
    The AVI tools that are provided with Vision allow for data to be added to your video.  Sound information can be stored this way, but if you are looking for a way to add audio support to your video (such that it will play the sound file when the video is played in Windows Media Player or other applications) you may want to look into finding a shareware or freeware product that can accomplish this.  LabVIEW does not have tools specifically targetted to this operation.
    Good luck,
    Robert

  • No video input for external devices on iMac 24" display???

    I got a 24" iMac a few days ago and love this thing. (Was in PC **** for last 30 years...) But one thing I am disappointed in is that there appears to be no video input to display video or to video capture. Is the only way to display video from an outside source by using a USB video capture device? For example, if I have a cable box or game console I want to display on the monitor, how can I do that? Seems silly to need to use a capture device to simply display video. Please let me know if there is simple way to do this. Thanks!

    I don't see how using a camcorder would help especially although it would be technically possible to use it as a bridge between other devices I can't see how it would be worth your while.
    Obviously not speaking from experience since almost all if not all DV cameras have passthrough, and feed video into a mac via firewire from the analog audio and video input port on the DV camera. They have been used for ages as decks (and are many times cheaper than DV decks) and as converters vs. buying a Canopus box etc., which are basically the same thing.
    The EYE TV 250 does the same thing with a USB connection and its own software but for the myriad of DV cam owners the passthrough is a fine idea.

  • View HD Video Input on iMac Screen

    I would like to view the high-definition output of my cable company's hi-def cable box (via firewire, hdmi, dvi, usb, or composite connections) on my iMac's scree. Is there any such device that will do this? I have a high-def tv stick that does work with over-the-air ATSC broadcasts, but its only other input is standard analog cable at standard definition.
    Would something like this ADS Pyro video capture device work for this?
    http://www.adstech.com/products/API-558-EFS/intro/API-558_intro.asp?pid=API-558- EFS
    It appears to have hi-def inputs and output capability, but I'm not totally sure.
    Thanks!

    The iMacs support Video Input since iMac mid 2009 i have Play Station 3 connected on my new 27" iMac mid 2011. Im using the Belkin's HDMI to MiniDisplay Port Adaptor (It is only posibble to use the "DisplayTargetMode" from iMac-OtherMac, you have just to press cmd+f2) For all the other devices you will need an Adaptor  cuz' otherwise u won't be able to input at all, or you will not be able to use High Resolution hope this helped ppl, gl.
