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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Regards,
Jorge Lucas (the guy from Rio Grande do Sul)

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.

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.

Just downloaded Firefox 4. Running Windows XP. Some of the new features are mising such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. The look is almost like Firefox 3. Why is this happening?

Hi. I just downloaded Firefox 4. Some of the new features are missing such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. It almost looks just like Firefox 3. I am using Windows XP on this desktop computer. On my laptop, running Windows Vista, Firefox 4 has all the updates advertised. Why is this happening? How do I fix?
Thanks

Thanks so much!

Will my 2010 Macbook Air that is currently running Lion 10.7.5 support the new Mountain Lion OS?

I habe an older Macbook air. Its a 2010 and is currently running Lion 10.7.5. I was wondering if it would be able to support the new Mountain Lion OS?

In addition to Stedman's spot-on reply --
When you buy an upgrade disk, all updates in that OS can be found on Software Update.
For instance, I bought Snow Leopard at 10.6.
All other updates have been free and downloadable. So I'm not a 10.6.7.
10.4 (Tiger) went to 10.4.11.
10.5 (Leopard) went to 1.5.8
10.6(Snow Leopard) is currently at 10.6.7.
Now, when Lion come out (the next major upgrade of OSX), I will have to pay to go to 10.7.
After that, updates are free til 10.8 comes out.

Give it to me straight -- Can the new Quad Core iMac run Maya well?

Hey all, I've been hunting around the interwebs for reviews of the new 27 inch quad core machine and I'm having a heck of a time tracking down specifics regarding iMacs and their ability to run Maya, After Effects, other adobe programs, etc.
I'm a student right now, going on four years. I own a small graphic design/animation business and I'm afraid my poor little Macbook Pro is going to keel over on me any day now. I've noticed a drop in performance in the last six months, especially with Maya and After Effects. So I've been evaluating options, and I know it has to run OSX. Windows has only given me headaches in regards to Maya work. In short, it's gonna be a Mac.
I've priced out a Mac Pro, and I'd rather not spend 3 grand on a machine that doesn't have a monitor, and may have properties that I'm paying for that I don't necessarily need: monstrous expandability, server capabilities, a big-stinking CPU footprint. But the mantra I always hear is "Only pro models can run Maya". So I reluctantly began putting away money for a new Mac Pro, uncertain if I'd be able to afford the software to go with it. Then I read this article:
http://gizmodo.com/5411073/why-its-gotten-straight-stupid-to-buy-a-mac-pro
In my mind, this article couldn't be more perfect for my position. It's telling me, "These high end iMacs are almost as powerful as the Mac Pro you can't afford. You can save a thousand bucks off the base computer. It comes with a monitor that you don't have to pay for. " But unfortunately the one question I need answered, that I'm having a heckuva time tracking down is "Can the stinking thing run Maya or can't it?" And if it can, will it be crippled?
So, please, anyone out there, can the new monster iMac run Maya, and if it can, does it suck at it?

No, there's no way to talk to Apple technical support via email, and they probably could not or would not be able to answer any questions about performance with third-party products. I doubt that more than a handful of Apple employees, sales rep or tech, would have access to any benchmark data on Maya with any model of Mac, and those Apple people would probably be those working with the Pro VAR channel or directly with large production companies.
I just got off the phone with an Apple sales associate who emphatically confirmed that the i7 iMac can run "all that Adobe stuff", but she'd never heard of Maya.... fun....
Not terribly surprising; Maya is pretty specialized and the Apple Store phone reps are generalists working mostly with consumers. Most people running Maya would be working with an Apple VAR or would otherwise have access to specialists. You might try talking to an Apple Pro Video/Film VAR - there are a number around the country though none in Salt Lake, apparently - or asking in the Autodesk forums:
http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/
If you search for "iMac", you'll find some comments, though none I can find yet regarding performance with the new iMac models. But if you post asking if anyone has experience with Maya on the i7, you might get useful responses.
Regards.
P.S.
And on top of that I can't buy a 27 inch display separately
Well, you can, and they're not terribly expensive; under $400.00. But that might be more than your budget could accept, which may be what you meant. I'd elect a smaller primary monitor and go with two displays in any case, even with an iMac. I find it much better for workflow to have a monitor for the primary canvas and a separate one for tool palettes, etc.

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

I just bought the new late 2013 iMac. Can I get the new iWork for free?

I just bought a new late 2013 iMac. Can I get the new iWork for free? I updated it to Mavericks also. The Mac App store is showing $19.99 for each iWork component (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). I also bought the previous iWork version, if that matters. Free updates for iPhoto and iMovie seemed to show up with no problems. Maybe these are just glitches that will clear up in a couple of days?

Hi. If you want it to get updated, this should take care of it.
1. Uninstall iWork from your Mac.
2. Do a fresh install of iWork from DVD.
3. Install iWork update from Apple Downloads (direct link here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563)
4. Sign into the Mac App Store, and check for updates. It should now show up as a free update. You may have to give it a few minutes (i.e. 10-15 minutes).
I've been a Windows user for years, so I know all of the tricks by now. I had hoped I would not need this knowledge for a Mac, but oh well...
Good luck.

Card reader on the new 21.5 iMac

Hello All,
I'm going to be getting a new 21.5 iMac soon and I had a question about the SD card reader. Can it read SDHC cards? Also is it just a reader or can it write also?
Thanks,
Mike

Is it true about the new 21.5" iMac

that the RAM can't be upgraded after purchase? Also I've heard that it comes with a 5400 RPM hard drive, but when I went to to the website I couldn't find out if it was possible to order it with a 7200 RPM drive.

Then, you've not been listening to Apple's gurus. Jobs started it and Cook and Phil Schiller are mouthing the same things. See http://techland.time.com/2012/10/26/apples-phil-schiller-on-the-state-of-the-mac / for example.
Apple wants everyone to waste resources pushing everything digital, to and from the cloud, including the iTunes and Mac Apple Store. Don't you know that's the new way. As for thinness, all they did is shrink the edges, but who cares since the display is only a 2-D thing and an inch or two narrower means nothing. Just marketing hype and keeping users out of their computers.
