Response time of the new 24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz display??

Apple is not famous for documenting the response time of it's diplays, An exception is the new Apple LED Cinema Display (24" flat panel) which they list as 14ms.
Does anybody know the response time of the new 24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz display??

Very nice, I've always wanted a bigger iMac and
wondered why they didn't make one. I'm on a G5
20inch now and it works 100% perfectly. BUt the 24
incher is very compelling!
Myself, never felt the need for a bigger one, the 20-inch is perfect for what I want it to do. Perhaps in the future...
It's pretty obvious why a 24-inch was not offered sooner, as the retail price would have been too expensive to create enough demand to justify production.

The new 24-inch iMac

Hello,
Apple released today, sep 06, 2006, the new 24-inch iMac, that appears besides the 17-inch and the 20-inch models.
The picture of the 3 are the same, but one thing called my attention: the 3 seems to be wide screen, which means that the ratio between the width and the height should be 16:9 (the default ratio was 12:9), but one sees more of the same picture in the larger ones.
It should be the same.
That advantage should occur if one compares a screen 12:9 with another
16:9.
To make it worse, I am a High School Math teacher, which means that I know what proportions are.
The only one guess left is: they have different ratios, which should not occur.
I gave one iMac G4 to one daughter, but I never saw the iMac G5 (or Intel).
Or, ... I got one wrong point.
Your points will be appreciated.

Hello Mode_Fan,
It looks like you got it right.
Apple played a little bit dirt, making people believe they will see more with the bigger one, but if I got it right this time, the smaller can be put at the same resolution and show the same picture. Or am I wrong again?
Like I already said to myself:
"Lucas, you need to learn about hardware!"
Thanks a lot!
P.S.B.R.S. (Post Scriptum Before Really Scriptum, expression just created/released):
So big improvements, just 6 days ahead of the “It’s Showtime”, makes me wonder that this thing will be very big, because the 24-inch iMac could be the ... one more thing, that we all missed in the WWDC 2006, one month ago.
One can expect the movie deal and the iPhone and I just want see Steve delivering the news like he used to.
By Quick Time, of course, since he only knows George Lucas.

What is the best security lock for the new 21 inch imac?

I want to know what is the best security lock for the new 21 inch imac?

Most computers refer to the locking attachment in some relationship to the name "Kensington", and that might be a useful clue.
Following that, be sure to avoid counterfeit products. A well-known computer vendor (not Apple), was approached by a large purchaser (several tens of thousands of laptops) who insisted on using a counterfeit locking product that had a larger than normal locking tab. The vendor modified the tooling to accept the counterfeit product and, wouldn't you know it, the genuine product would no longer secure the computer properly.

Have hardware problems associated with the new 27 inch iMac been addressed?

I realize that this question may have been answered on another iMac post, but my wife and I thought we would quickly post the following question just in case there are some similarly quick answers:
We are thinking about acquiring one of the new 27 inch i7 iMacs. However, several initial problems have been reported with the new 27 inch iMac, e.g. screen problems, startup problems, etc.
According to Macworld (about 2-3 months ago), Apple finally acknowledged these hardware problems.
How do we know that acquiring one of the new 27 inch iMacs is a safe bet now…? Meaning, have these problems been addressed…? Has there been another announcement from Apple saying that these manufacturing processes/problems have been satisfactorily addressed…?
Thanks in advance!

I bought one two weeks ago; 27" i5. No problems found.

How can I connect an external monitor to the new 27 inch iMac?

I have an old PC monitor that I want to connect to my new 27 inch iMac, it's the latest edition, the one that doesn't have any mini display ports.
All I have are four USB 2.0 ports and two Thunderbolt ports. No mini display port of any kind. So is there an adapter for me? My old monitor can use either VGA or HDMI and I'm not really fussed which one I use. A link would be most helpful, surley that are more people with the same problem.

If the monitor supports vga and hdmi you probably what to use the digital hdmi over the analog vga. You need a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter. For this application mini-displayport will work when plugged into a thunderbolt connection (TB is sort of a superset of mini-displayport, the plugs and sockets are physically compatible).
Here's examples of each kind of adapter:
Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt to VGA Adapter

Had hard drive renewed due to product recall (iMac) backed up complete system on time machine . Had the drive done got mac back tried to reinstall from time machine .The new drive tells me that the space has been taken up but can't find where the file have gone. Need to free up the space that the ghost file take up so I can drag drop from ex drive onto harddrive

Here's the scoop, new friend.....
When you boot into Time Machine you'll get the same OS X Utilities screen as you would if you booted into the Recovery HD. So, from there go into Disk Utilities to erase/format your internal drive. After that's done, back out to the OS X Utilities screen and select the restore option. Just follow the prompts to select the TM back up date you want to restore from and where to restore it to. Pretty straight forward.

Running Motion 2.0.1 on the new 20inch Pentium Imacs

Hi, I am on a committe at my school that does video production work. We just got the new 20 inch pentium imac. We had the Final Cut Studio 5 set and we installed it on there. We checked to make sure everything went okay but we had one problem, motion wouldn't work. For some reason everytime we opened motion it opened for like a second then suddenly quit with a error message. We have no clue what is wrong because it is compatible and we already tryed reinstalling it. I was wondering if anyone new what to do. Thanks.

Just bought new 24 inch iMac, what a monster!

Just got back from Apple retail store in Brent Cross near London in the UK with my new 24 inch iMac.
All I can say is BRILLIANT!!. What a stunning machine. I had a 20 inch that I bought just 3 weeks back, but I managed to get rid of it to buy this new one.
Now that I have it on my desk at home I can really appreciate the extra 4 inches, it seems like a lot more than that.
As the Apple retail store is a 1-hour drive for me I insisted on taking it out of the box and booting it up in the store to check it out before the drive home. It was just as well that I did as there was a single stuck (black) pixel in bottom right hand corner. This would not bother most people, but I do a lot of Photoshop work and I can only imagine that I would be constantly trying to airbrush a speck out of a picture, only to discover that it was a stuck/dead pixel.
Anyway, the salesman said no problem and got me another one, which I also checked there and then, second one was perfect.
Anyone who has a 20 inch, get rid of it and buy a 24 inch straight away. They are just awesome.
Even the staff at the Apple retail store were standing around me in absolute awe as I was checking mine out and filling in my personal details, as they did not have a demo unit on display at this time.
Other people were standing around too, a little crowd gathered; I felt like an Apple God for a moment there
The edges are not dark like somebody else mentioned, mine is nice and bright edge-to-edge. In fact is is brighter than my old (3 week old) iMac 20 inch as I have to reduce the brightness on this new 24 inch monster a little bit more to get a nice brightness that I'm used too.
I put in an extra 2 Gig of ram (2 x 1 GB sticks from my old 3-week old iMac 20 inch model), but bought the standard 24 inch model with standard graphics card. Didn't see the point in better graphics card as I don't do gaming, just inDesign and Photoshop on this machine.
This screen is also 1920x1200 so it is TRUE HD for playback of future 1920x1080i or 1920x1080p Bluray or HD DVDs, nice. If you think about it, if you popped to a local store and bought a HD-Ready TV with this resolution it would cost you a lot more than the price of the 24 inch iMac so it's like getting a HD TV with a computer thrown in for free, only cheaper
Had it turned on now for about 3 hours and have been spinning the hard drive a lot as I transfer a lot of old files from external Firewire HD and it is warm near the vents on back/top, nothing excessive though.
The fan is ever so slightly louder than old 20 inch, but again, negligible.
Well I'm off to play some more and test some DVDs etc.
In the meantime they are fantastic machines and I highly recommend them to everyone.
Buy one today, I don't care how, just get one!!!

Hey guys, didn't mean to scare anyone with that dead-pixel thing. I've had about 7 Macs over the past 5 years (since moving over from the muddy waters of Windows) and I've NEVER had a single problem. To be honest I was amazed the first 24 inch iMac I pulled out of the box actually had a stuck pixel and so were the staff. One of them tried to 'massage' it away, to no avail. It was hardly noticeable; I'm just a fussy git.
I doubt any of you guys will take delivery of one with a dead/stuck pixel, this is very rare as Apple only use grade-A LCD panels that have a high quality-control-production-line.
Anyway, howwow, you really must get a 24 inch; here's why.
I had 20 inch and spend a lot of time laying out an A4 magazine in Adobe InDesign. I thought my 20 inch Intel Imac was great until I got the 24. Now I can have a full two-page spread across the screen zoomed in 25% bigger than actual size and still have room for my pallets down the left and right hand side. With my old 20 inch iMac I had to collapse or hide certain pallets away or they were over the top of my page on the top/right hand side, which was a pain.
Another advantage of 24 over 20 is that it is much easier copying files from external to internal hard drives and vice-versa, especially when in Column view as you can have 5 columns on each window; plenty. On my 20 inch I could not get anywhere near this and had to move windows around the desktop to get them into the best space; not anymore.
Two of my friends came (almost literally) to see me last night and when they stepped into my study room and clocked the massive 24 inch iMac they both almost creamed their jeans right then and there. They were speechless; they are both windows PC users, or should I say were. The 24 inches was more than enough to convince them; well, they were both ladies They are heading for Apple retail store as I type this to buy one each. Now we all know how bloody hard it is trying to convert Windows users to Mac, the 24 inch iMac has no problem doing that.
I had a large high-def Quicktime movie playing, 6 smaller Quicktime movies playing, a DVD playing with Photobooth open and a bunch of other things, when I hit the exposé button to reveal them all at once it is just amazing on this large screen.
I've also noticed that running Adobe Photoshop and InDesign on this latest 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Due with 2 GB of RAM is a lot faster than my older (3 week old) iMac 20 inch Intel Core Due machine, that extra '2' really pushes Rosetta programmes along the rails a lot faster; it's sort of turbo charged now. This is great for me as I view InDesign stuff in OverView mode (higher res, but slower).
This new machine takes just 31 seconds to boot from a cold start by pressing the power button on the back. Fast or what. Ever watch a Windows user switch on their machine and go have a cuppa coffee whilst they wait
The graphics (and I only have bog-standard card it came with) are brilliant. Pin sharp and I've set up a custom colour calibration for the screen because of Photoshop and InDesign and it is stunning.
Only slight drawback is if you sit too close and are a fast typer, it's like watching tennis as your head looks from right to left as you type across the screen

Upgrading RAM and adding a SSD to new 27 inch iMac?

Hi all, is it extremely difficult to upgrade the RAM and add a SDD in the new 27 inch i7 iMAC yourself? I have read somewhere that it is extremely difficult and can void warranty.
The new hyper threading/turbocharged 27 inch iMAC can have two drives one conventional and a SDD. But I think the bracket and connecting cable for the SDD is not in the casing unless the AppleStore fit the drive themselves as a customized purchase order.
I have been told by a guy who provides maintenance for mac and PC users in my area that it can work out less expensive to purchase a basic model mac form the apple store then upgrade it oneself making sure to use the proper compatible RAM, drives etc.
I am in the market for either a new generation 27 inch iMac or an 8 or 12 core new Mac Pro but if I thought it possible to upgrade the iMac I would purchase it for the time being as like most of us I am trying to keep spending down to a minimum to ride out this recession!!
I would appreciate all views.
Thanks,
E

Hi E
Ram is the only thing that is considered user upgradeable,
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iMac_Mid2010UG.pdf
order the iMac with an SSD, and then upgrade the memory yourself with third party ram.

My new 21 inch Imac screen tilts fairly easily, is that normal?

My new 21 inch imac screen tilts fairly easily, is that normal? It will hold in place. But it doesn't take too much pressure to adjust it. If that is normal, any precautions to make sure it doesn't "break?"
Thanks for your consideration.

It should move easily; not sure what degree of "easily" would be considered normal. As long as it holds the position you set it to, it should be fine.

Will the new 2012 27" iMac be Vesa mountable?

Will the new 2012 27" iMac be Vesa mountable? I cannot find this on any of the specs, I hope it is.

From what I've read online ... there is news that some companies are working on some sort of mount for the newer 2012 iMac's that would involve using the existing iMac stand in to the stand assembly (because the new 2012 iMac stands are not removable).
Zdnet says:
"... however, third-party companies such as ErgoMart and iMacMount.com offer adapter kits for these iMac 2012 smaller models. iMacMount offers a $79.95 kit for 17-, 20- and 21.5-inch models. The company's site says its current iMac Mount VESA Mount Adapter Kit supports the now problematic Late 2012 21.5-inch iMac
I'm sure Vesa will take this same "mount adapter" approach eventually, for the newer 2012 iMac's.

Does brand new 24 inch Imac come with ilife 08 disc?

just bought a brand new 24 inch imac which had ilife 08 preloaded - but can't seem to find an install disc as backup anywhere. do these new machines come with installation disc?
if not, what do i do in the event of a hard drive crash?
thanks

No wurries! iLife '08 is on the (Mid 2007) iMac install disks. Put Disk #1 in the DVD drive (no need to shut down OS-X), and click on "Read Before You Install.app".
If you just want to reload/recover a lost app, click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" icon, drill down to the "Installation Type" screen, and select "Customize," then expand the "Bundled Applications" thingie, and clear all the checkboxes -- except for the app(s) you want to (re)install. Then click "Update".

You have already seen that you cannot load the new iTunes into your 10.5.8, so as Neil says, you need Snow Leopard (current cost £14). And you'll probably need to update the disc you buy via the combo update, though that is free.
As far as the new iTunes is concerned, there's been a certain amount of grumbling so you may want to study the forums before you update. The main problem has been with album artwork which does not transfer easily.
