Strange thing with new imac's @ portugal

Hi,
I bought the new imac in Portugal, where it does not exist official representation of apple, only one bad
deliverer, interlog.
These gentlemen are selling the new imacs with the old keyboard with the same price. In the page store.apple.com, portuguese version they inform that the new is keyboard is accessory, very strange.
Is there any place where I can officially complain next to apple?

New imac, 20''. But that's not the point, the issue is they are selling the new imacs with the old keyboard and that could be "illegal". They give to you the box with the imac without the new keyboard inside and put on top the old keyboard, just like that.
I think that one apple product sell in us must be exactly the same around the world, am I right?

Strange things with keyboard

strange things with keyboard happens on my macbook - after cleaning keyboard (rag with spirit) I start mac and get sticky key (continuously type one letter and beeping on speaker). I shutdown mac, remove key and clean space under it... it helps - but I found other strange bug:
pressing left shift - gives me capital letter "O"
letter "O" - always capitalized
| symbol always comes with return button
now I use external keyboard - all good on it... but macbook keyboard still wont work properly
what can it be? how fix it?
ps: sorry for my eng

thanks for your reply, and you might be right about using USB v2.0. The PS/2-USB adapters I am using are v.1.0 so may be incompatible, even though this technology is supposed to be backward-compatable.
Since this problem reared its ugly head, I have disabled the Toshiba applications and monitored the situation - OK so far, but I will keep an eye on it.

Strange thing with ExternalInterface when profiling

Hello.
I use Scout for analyze application and found out strange thing with ExternalInterface:
I regularly get some overheads with ExternalInterface._evalJS. But I don't any explicit calls of ExternalInterface.call during this overheads. Does it mean that ExternalInterface make internal interactions during flash player lifecycle, or something else?

From the screenshot, it looks like you've registered an anonymous function as the callback for a "timer" event (the "MethodInfo-xxx" is an auto-generated name that Flash gives to anonymous functions), and this function is calling into ExternalInterface. It's your code (or possibly that of a framework you're using) - not internal Flash player functionality.

Using new trackpad with new iMac

Using new trackpad with new iMac, but can't seem to get the "touch function" to work. I still have to press firmly and click on the trackpad to get response. The videos show "touch" while I "firm press and click." Checked speed, cleaned it, and reset. No luck?? Ideas? Even took back to Best Buy and seemed to work with their display...

Assuming you are talking about tap to click, you would need to enable it. It is disabled by default. Go to settings and choose trackpad settings. Navigate to "Point and Click" tab and enable "Tap to Click".

Strangeness with new iMac

Okay, I've just received a new iMac. After a couple rounds of software updates this afternoon (I just got the iMac today), I noticed that my desktop prefs had changed, my mouse setting changed and an MS Office Projecject folder disappeared off the desktop. In poking around, though, I notice, in Finder/Macintosh HD/Users that there are now two users: Art & artshotwell. And, two folder structures. artshotwell has a house icon, Art has a folder icon. My Office Project folder I see is under Art's folder structure. Checking System Preferences/Accounts, there is only one account: Art is the top name, artshotwell is the 'shortname.' Anyone got any ideas what's going on? And, how to fix it?

In the Users folder on your hard disk, rename artshotwell to extrafolder and then rename Art to artshotwell. Log out and back in, and your data will have been restored.
If you want to keep the Art name, open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, click the padlock, type in your password, and then change the instance of artshotwell to Art in your user's home property without changing or deleting anything else. Log out and log back in. Changing the name property without updating the membership of the admin group will result in there being no administrator accounts on the system; your shortname is also a member of other groups by default.

Syncing IPodTouch with new iMac

I have had an iPod Touch for about a month and a week ago I got a new iMac. Without thinking I synced it with the new machine and things began to happen. I lost my upgrade, but have got it back thanks to Apple Care help. I do not have all my photos and some music. Many of my songs won't come over. Same with photos. If anyone has a suggestion, I would be very thankful. It synced just great on the g4 power book. I think therein lies the rub, but don't know what to do about it.
Jerry

Only using third party software can you transfer photos, videos and music off an iPod (the exception to this rule is iTunes Store purchased content). I recommend that you use Firewire Target Disk Mode to migrate your iPhoto and iTunes libraries from your older Powerbook to the new iMac:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Remember to consolidate the iTunes library before copying it.
Hope that helps.

Harman Kardon Soundsticks not sounding with new iMac

I have the original Harman Kardon Soundsticks, which have worked beautifully since the early 2000s, till this new iMac - they're not showing up as an output source in Sound Preference. I've contacted both Applecare Support - no idea - and Harman Kardon - Apple isn't supplying the drivers anymore. The thing is, they played just fine with the older iMac just replaced, which was running MacOS 10.7.2. Drivers are software, right? Were they just dropped from the OS with this last update, or is there a hardware issue? The older iMac was a 24", Intel, that I bought in April, 2007.
Anyway, this is very disappointing since the Soundsticks have excellent sound and still work.
Is there a way to get the drivers, or is there also a hardware component?
Thanks!

Ok, here's what happened in the end. As I was dismantling the Soundsticks system from my computer and desk area, I discovered that the plug going into the Harmon Kardon power block from the electrical plug was loose. Aha !!!! I realized - loose plug! Let's try again. And, I did, after ensuring that all other plugs were also snug in their sockets. And, yes, the Soundsticks have been doing just fine ever since : )
Ok, re. plugs. There's a cord that runs from the subwoofer to the power block, and it's solid. Then on the other end of the block is a cable that plugs into the block on one end and the wall on the other. It was the plug into the block that was lose, and I didn't realize it ' cause it was under the desk, nor did I recall that it could separate from the block.
I was so thankful that the solution ended up being so simple! . . . and so glad to be able to continue to use that sound system.

Using iGlobe speakers with newer iMac

I am so happy with may new iMac, but I thind maybe the speakers that came with my old iGlobe 700 Mhz were better than the internal ones in the nex one. However they have some strange plug that doesn't fit with the contact for earphones. Does anybody know if there is some connector out there that I can use?

Hello,
The reason it has a proprietary connector is that it was a very high powered port and it a user inadvertently connected another set of standard speakers they would almost certainly be damaged.
I've seen Pro Speakers on ebay where someone has cut off the proprietary connector and attached a standard 3.5mm jack. This works but the speakers are then very very quiet. The only real solution is either a new pair of speakers or there was an adaptor made by Griffin called the iFire:
http://www.welovemacs.com/ifire.html
However it's no longer made and it's second-hand value is pretty high.
I too was fairly disappointed with the sound of the new Aluminium iMac compared to the iMac G4 with Pro Speakers although actually I've been living with it for eight months now. I did look at the LaCie Firewire speakers because they don't need a separate power supply but haven't been sure enough to spend my money yet!

Slow scrolling & lag problems using Office with new iMac desktop OS X Lion

Just bought a new iMac 21.5 desktop with OS X Lion after using a PC with windows my whole life. Downloaded latest version of Microsoft Office to use with my spreadsheets for my business and found that whenever I use larger spreadsheets and use filters (500 rows/20 columns) the scrolling is so slow with such a delayed response and lagtime, that it is practically useless. Already checked the possible "duplicate font" problem mentioned on some sites but that did nothing. What can be done to fix this issue???

If the issue only occurs when you use Excel then you may want to click the Office for Mac Product Forums and repost. One thing to look at is how much RAM your system has and how much is FREE. As a general rule of thumb OS X likes 500 MB or more of FREE RAM, keep Activity Monitor running (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and when you sense a slow down look at AM and click the System Memory tab, if you see it's in the 500MB or less range then it's simple, upgrade the RAM.

Can't get HP DeskJet 3940 to work with new iMac

I have an iBook G4 and a brand new iMac sitting next to each other. The iBook has no difficulty seeing and printing to an HP DeskJet 3940 printer in another room via an Aiport Express module. When I turn Airport OFF on the iBook and turn it ON on the iMac, the same printer is visible to the iMac but when I go to Add it into Bonjour I get an "error -9672 Unable to connect to printer" message. The new Intel iMac apparently comes with knowledge of the HP 3000 series but to no avail. So I downloaded and reinstalled all "universal" software and drivers available from HP online regarding this printer and the same error message occurs. I Spotlighted '-9672' and it pointed to a header file in Xcode that defined the error as an XML problem but I'm not sure if it relates to my problem or is merely coincidental. I tried using the Airport Express module with someone else's Epson printer and it worked fine so that module is not the problem. I hate when this sort of thing happens...

According to the list of printer drivers included with Mac OS X Tiger Intel there were drivers included for two models of the HP DJ 3940 printer. It was version 3.3, but I see that is also what you probably downloaded and installed from the HP website, so no issue there.
These instructions from Mac Help in the Finder Help menu are what you have tried? Have you tried connecting the printer directly to you new iMac first and solving any direct printing problems before printing through your LAN with the AP Express?
Connecting a USB printer to an AirPort base station
If you have an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express base station, you can share a USB printer with other computers on your network, whether they connect to the network wirelessly or with a cable. The other computers must use Mac OS X v10.2.3 or later.
Follow the directions that came with your printer to set it up and install the necessary software on your computer.
Connect the printer to the USB port on your computer, and then print a test page. If you need help, click the link below.
Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort base station.
If you're setting up an AirPort Express for the first time, connect the printer to the >AirPort Express before setting up the base station.
Open a document to print, and then choose File > Print.
In the Printer pop-up menu, choose Bonjour and then choose your printer.
If you don't find your printer, choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, and then click More Printers. Select your printer and then click Add.
When you select your printer in the More Printers dialog, Mac OS X finds the printer's driver and adds the printer to the Printer pop-up menu. If Mac OS X cannot find the printer driver, "Driver not Installed" or "Gimp-print" appears in the model pop-up menu.
Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them.
You may not see error or status messages when using a printer connected to an AirPort base station. For example, you may not see messages like “Out of Paper” or “Printer Busy."
To use the printer utilities that came with your printer, check the status of ink cartridges, or set the printer's resolution, disconnect the printer's USB cable from the AirPort base station and connect it to your computer.

Severe issues with new iMac. Do I need firmware update?

I purchased a new iMac at the end of September 2007. It still had Tiger on it and ran fine. I upgraded to Leopard at it's release and have had some problems ever since BUT THEY ARE GETTING WORSE.
I did a complete erase and install this past weekend but problems remain. I have to do a force shutdown with the power button sometimes and then things run slowly. I use Disk Warrior and rebuild the drive and also repair permissions and things seem to run fine for awhile. THEN the problems start again.
I know there is to be a Leopard update soon. Should I wait and see if that solves the issues? I also know there was a firmware update for the new iMac in the fall. When I did my erase and re-install this past weekend, I didn't do that update UNLESS it's already in the 10.5.1 update. Should I do it now?
I also recently got a LaCie 250 gig firewire hard drive. Sometimes it does not mount; but I've ran Disk Warrior and repaired permission on it also and no errors are reported. (I also have a 60 gb FireLite. It did not mount once; but mostly it's the LaCie that fails to mount ... but not always. 75% of the time it mounts fine.)
I just don't know what the problem is. I am very frustrated. I have NEVER had trouble like this with a Mac in all the years I've had one. I know one things for sure. I will NEVER again buy a new machine or operating system until they've been out at least six months
Any knowledgeable suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks so much.

My problems are: 1)Sometimies when I try to restart the computer, I get either a spinning beach ball or a blue screen and nothing else. OR sometimes it does re-start but keeps the other spinning circular thingie going. In either case, I have to push the power button for a few secons causing it to shut down hard. On the other hand, sometimes it behaves normally.
Other problems include slowness, such as finder windows opening very slowly or files showing up in finder windows very slowly.
I don't notice that this happens with any particular program. It seems sporadic. Sometimes the computer runs fine and then all of a sudden, the issues reappear.
I have used Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, repaired permission, etc. All the programs report that the discs are fine (the internal disc, the LaCie drive and the FireLite drive.) I did a complete erase and re-install. I have not used a hardware test disc. (I suppose there is one with the original restore discs; but I am using Leopard now so I'm not sure how that works. That was Tiger.)
I have suspected a lot of things. I stopped iDisk automatic mounting & syncing. I stopped syncing altogther. I've turned off Spaces and Time Machine. I don't let any programs load automatically except the bare minimum. I'm just very frustrated.
I did hear there was a firmware update in early November but 10.5.1 was released after that; and I have done all the software updates so I don't know if I need to do the firmware update. (This machine is one of the new thin aluminum iMacs introduced in August. I got mine in September.)

Hard drive issues with new imac 27 inch empty space being eaten up

Hi There
I have been having a strange problem with my new imac . Ever since i got it the hard drive has been making sounds even when i have not been using the computer . It sounds as if it is loading a file . I looked at disk activity in activity monitor and it showed that the disk was being written to every few seconds . Then out of curiosity I did a get info on the disk and happened to notice that every few seconds approximately 500k gets written to the disk .
Can I some how track these writes , to determine which process is causing them?
Can't imagine it being a virus since it's been happening since i took it out of box .
Any ideas ?
Thanks for the help
Mrfish

If your machine is brand new, it could be Spotlight indexing your drive. If so, it's nothing to worry about and it will subside soon.
Here is some info about Spotlight that goes beyond what's available in OS X Help:

External Monitor with new IMac

I just purchased the new 21.5" IMac, and want to connect an LG 23" to extend the desktop. the LG has DV-D, D-SUB, and HDMI ports. This may be a really stupid question, but which port on the Imac do I need to connect to? Thanks.
JS

Well the new iMac has mini-display out. You can use the fallowing adapters with the iMac:
Mini-Display To HDMI:
Griffin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI with Audio + DVI
Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support (10 ft.)
Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter
If by D-SUB you mean VGA:
Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
If by DV-D you mean DVI-Digital:
Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
or the already listed above, Griffin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI with Audio + DVI
If you want to use HDMI input, and you don't have a DHMI cable, the Kanex is adapter is a cable. Witch could save you some money. If you go with another HDMI adapter you may want to pick up a Apple HDMI to HDMI Cable (1.8 m)
The griffin adapter dose both HDMI and DVI. WItch makes it a more versatile adapter.
One of the advantages of HDMI over DVI is that HDMI supports video & audio over a single cable. But if your Display has limited set of HDMI cables, you may want to save the HDMI ports for some thing that requires HDMI, Like a blueray player.
DVI supports some larger resolutions. And if you want to use it for a computer display that could be an important advantage.
