Sorry this may sound a bit stupid but do you get any discs at all with a new iMac, such as restore discs if anything goes wrong?

I just purchased a new Imac yesterday, this is the first time with an Imac so please be gentle with me. I noticed that there was no software discs at all with this Imac and I am wondering what would happen if I need to re-install at a later date especially the OS. Do you get any discs with a new Imac?

No.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

    No.
    It is not a replacement for a computer.
    It mirrors the selected content of your computer.
    The only programs that can be loaded on an ipad are those found in the app store.

    What do you mean by 'registered it on iTunes' ? You've authorised your account on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option ? And you've copied your library onto the Mac ?

  • I know this may sound a little tedious but..

    i think it would be cool if were aloud the option of changing the text bubble color and maybe even font?, i mean it just adds more customization without jailbreaking your iphone.

    Set your screen resolution to at least 1024x768.

  • TS4425 I tried this on my iPad.  The but did not get any terms and conditions.  Photo stream works fine on the iPad but not on Apple TV.  What do I do?

    Followed the instructions but they don't work.  On the iPad I got no new T&Cs and it works fine.  So I have no means to agree the new T&Cs and because of that it does not work on Apple TV. 

    Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting  - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
    Something along those lines anyway.
    I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

  • Yesterday I download Firefox 4. When I tried to open it I got message that Firefox was "working offline" How can I change this back to on-line when I can't get any farther? All other programs work fine, I just cannot access the internet.

    Computer is a desktop running Windows Vista. IE will not open either saying "there is a problem and shutting down". My laptop with Firefox 3.6 works fine.

  • This may sound stupid...

    This may sound extremely stupid and I completely understand how many of you are frustrated about the whole Aluminum iMac freezing issue but today as I was using iChat and Safari everything on the computer seemed to freeze, I couldn't click on anything or scroll but my mouse curser still worked - I use a wireless might mouse. So I reset the mouse by turning it off and then let it synch back up with the computer again. Then everything was fine - I don't want to sound arrogant and naive but if you use a mighty mouse (wired/wireless) unplug or turn it off and see if thats the problem.

    You can return it at the place you got it. If you bought it at an Apple Store, their return policy is 14 days.

  • HT4864 Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for the blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there.

    You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.

  • This may sound dumb, but is there an app or a monthly subscription to carry wi-fi or internet connection. so i dont lose connection when i leave my house. want internet connection at all time

    I have an ipod touch 5th gen.  storage capacity is 27.9 / 23.3 available.  IOS 7.1.2    model # ME978LL/A.   My question is, now this may sound dumb. But i was wanting to know if there is a app or a monthly subscription to have internet connection or wi-fi at all times instead of just shutting my ipod off very few apps work without internet connection almost dosen't seem worth 300 dollars.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFO.

    Your internet connection depends on access to a wifi network. When you leave your house you go out of range of your own network, so the only way to connect is to find a free or paid public wi-fi service in the location you are in at the time; the alternative is to use your iPhone for what is called 'tethering' (providing a wifi signal you iPod can connect to) but it you have an iPhone you would want to use that anyway (and many service providers don't allow it - in any case it comes expensive as you are using a mobile data connection).

  • This may sound silly but can anyone tell me if facetime is done through wifii or is it charged as a long distance from canada to us

    this may sound silly but can anywone tell be if facetime is wifi or a long distance charge?

    FaceTime is NEVER charged. It is basically going through the internet, as if you were watching a YouTube video, it just takes data. You probably have a data limit through your wireless provider, for example, I can only use 3Gb of data per month on my iPhone 5 through AT&T.
    If you use Wi-Fi, you will NOT be charged for data (unless your internet provider has a cap on the amount of data you can use).
    If you do facetime over cellular data, you just have to watch your data usage. You can watch your data usage in Settings > General > Usage. AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint all offer free apps you can use to monitor your data usage (among many other things, like pay your wireless bill, etc.).

  • This may sound lame!!

    This may sound lame, Ive been here a hundred times before but i cant find the plugin folder for imovie HD on my new Imac, i reinstalled Imove and the installed slick 1-10, when i start imovie it says it cant find 12 different plugins but I cant find the folder to see whats up. Ive looked almost everywhere obviously, for if i looked everywhere i probably wouldnt need to be doing this, thx in advance.

    Hello again Beverly.
    As long as we're on the subject. I contacted SLICK and the instructions say I have to have the old SLICK volumes already mounted before they can be upgraded. I already have vol. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, & 9 installed on my MacBook pro. Can I install these volumes using the hard disks and then have SLICK upgrade them? Or, Am I going to have to buy them all over again? iMovie will be inoperable temporarily but will the new upgrades free it up?
    As usual your help is much appreciated.

  • This may be a silly question but how do I get my music from my old ipod to the Ipod touch. when I go to move my music a error pops up saying your music wasn't copied to this ipod because it can not be played on this ipod.  what can I do??

    You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

  • This may seem a silly question, but how can I create a new mailbox on my iPad?

    This may seem a silly question, but how can I create a new mailbox on my iPad?

    A new mailbox/folder - you can't, not yet. If you're using an IMAP mail account, you can create a mailbox on the server (either through webmail or desktop mail) and it'll appear on the iPad.
    We've been told the upcoming iOS5 will allow you to do so (I assume, provided you have IMAP).

  • I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?

    I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?  I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended.  I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business.  I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now.  Hopefully you can help me.  Thanks.

    Thank you for your reply.
    You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
    that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
    different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
    etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
    the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
    If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
    But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
    HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
    at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
    Best results depend on you
    a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
    you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR [email protected]
    or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
    b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
    customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
    and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
    the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
    Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
    I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
    and it is low quality
    Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
    the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
    Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.
