Relocation to US from Europe with iMac 24"
Hi there. May be its a stupid question, but for me its important. I have a iMac 24" from End 2008. I live currently in Dubai, UAE and have there a iMac with European PowerCable.
I will be relocate to Germany soon and than my company plan to send me to the USA for my next job. With my MacMini, my MacBook and my Apple TV I dont see problems with the power, cause they have external power supply, but does anybody know if I get in trouble with my iMac?
Or is the only thing I need to buy a Adapter or new PowerCable? The reason for the question is the different voltage of 110 V in the US and 220 V in Europe and Middle East.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello u:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
There are no stupid questions.... answers yes, but not questions.
This link is to the iMac technical specifications for your system:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP507l
Note that the line voltage is 100-240.
It would appear to me that an adaptor or new power cord would work just fine. I used to travel quite a bit and -a loose comparison.... all of my US purchased devices (camera charger, electric razor) worked fine in Europe with an adaptor (same voltage range). If it were me, I would probably buy a new power cord.

Moving to UK from Canada with iMac?
We currently live in Canada and have an 1Mac with the Intel core 2 duo processor. We have to move to England in August. Is it possible to take the imac with us?... is it compatible with the UK and if so, what do we need? We really can't afford to buy a new one so I'm hoping we can just take it with us. Thanks for any suggestions/advice!
You can also avoid the adapter issue altogether and order a B922-7139 replacement AC power cord from any Apple dealer, including those in the United Kingdom.
The British localized version is available in the US from* this company. Order the 922-7139 and specify in a note attached to the order that you want a power cord for use in the United Kingdom.

Syncing ical from iphone with imac
How do I sync iphone 5s with my mac OS X so that the contacts and calendar entries on the iphone merge with what is on the mac?
syncer77 wrote:
Sorry I wasn't more clear. When I sync, the information on my calendar on my Mac wipes out all ical entries on my iphone and replaces them with what is on the mac. I want all information to appear on all devices without uploading it to the cloud.
imac: OS X version 10.6.8
iphone: OS 7.0.6
ipad Air: OS 7.1.2
Then unfortunately iCloud is out of the question and if I am not mistaken iTunes is a one way sync from computer to phone. -
Relocating to France from UK with my MacBook Pro (UK)
Is it possible to purchase a EU/French two prong power adaptor for my UK bought MacBook Pro and no other changes are needed?... ie.. Just plug into laptop then into the wonderful french electricity and off we go? Or is there something I've not thought of. Really appreciate any help. Thanks
You just need the plug end adapter Nothing else needed. Your Macbook Pro power supply is rated for 110v - 240v. Read the print on the power brick.

How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.
You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable. If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it. Time Machine can access it either way.

I've recently been given a macbook pro from uni, with lots of adobe software on. I want to pair it with my iMac which has music etc and is it possible to get the software to the imac and the files to the macbook?Giving me the best of both :-)
You would need the original installation disks or files for the Adobe software to get it onto your iMac, and having it on two computers may not be allowed by your university's licensing. Talk to whoever issued the MacBook.
As to the music, just copy it over to the MacBook, either via Home Sharing, file sharing, or an external storage medium (hard drive, USB flash drive, etc.).

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?
No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

I just bought a new macbook, and am trying to transfer data from my old imac. I have connected the two with a firewire, and how do I now transfer the data?
Thanks in advance.
JoelYou can connect them in Target Mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 and then drag and drop from the iMac to the MacBook.

I recently purchased a new iMac with an 1 Terrabyte external drive. I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac. I have not downloaded the external drive's software onto my old Mac because of this concern. May I simply "drag and drop" the contents I want transferred to the external drive, then set up my new Mac with the drive and download there? or is there a better procedure? Comments? Help?
If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?
Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection. -
I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and Preferences but I can't get no sound from mixer to iMac only sound from iMac to mixer. I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.
Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing. -
Why Target Display Mode exclusive to the iMac? Shouldn't any Mac from 2009 with the correct ports have the same option? Is there a physical limitation that prevents MacBook Pro/Air notebooks with thunderbolt ports from entering Target Display Mode? Or does someone just need to poke the OSX development team with a stick?
that was the route I took this time when I updated to 10.5.6 - the downloaded combo updater rather than the smaller (half the size) Mac updater...
Pretty sure this is a combination of MTU, 2Wire 2701 oddities and me not knowing how to solve them directly (as well as the ipv6 stuff that's still showing in the logs despite IPv6 being turned off).
Anyhow, I did get it connected under the Ambit finally (took restarting the mac, not expecting that in the "switch" from windows xp)- and that really rocked. Now I'm working on teaching my 2Wire to be a dumb modem, to go with the operator
Actually, I think I'll just cut my losses for the moment and go with cable, once I find a good wireless router to connect the media center and xp box up front. -

I just set up my migration from my old iMac to the new one via wifi and it says it'll take 42 hours! What's up with this?

Don't migrate wirelessly unless you have a very fast wireless connection. Anything other than 5 GHz 802.11n is likely to take an unacceptable amount of time. -
I'm upgrade from PC to iMac can I just purchase upgrade revision of Lightroom 5 I currently have 4 and not pay the full version price? Same with Elements 12? Thanks
lr and pse are both cross-platform apps so you can use both pc and mac versions with those programs.
