The new iMacs, Sandy Bridge and WiDi 2.0 (Wireless HD Display)
I understand that the new Sandy Bridge processors have built-in wireless display (WiDi - HD streaming to an external monitor) and since the new iMacs have these processors; do they have the ability to wirelessly stream HD content via WiDi 2.0?
If not, is this a hardware issue or an OS X issue that may be addressed by a future OS release, such as Lion?
So, yes, I welcome all kinds of waves, even micro ones... Seriously, this is completely affecting my next decision purchase. I want full browser experience on my HDTV without placing an iMac in my living room. If this feature cannot / will not be available on this iMac I will need to purchase a Mac Mini.
Maybe I should re-title my post, but I can't be the only user that wants this feature and if Fusion / Parallels will allow it or a future OS X update will, I would like to know. Neither sales or AppleCare knows the answer?
Strange.

I downloaded the new version of bridge and it wont open the raw files on my mac.
hello and thank you for your suggestion. I have tried it and, when trying to open a program which I previously was able to, still get the following message:
Remote XUL
This page uses an unsupported technology that is no longer available by default in Firefox.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
Seems unbelievable that I previously had no problem and now I do. Have you any suggestions to overcome this? Do you think I can go back further in Firefox history to get a version that will make it possible to access this. Many thanks! Lynn -
Question about the new IMac display 2012 and pollution
The IMac late 2010 there is the problem that the fan behind the screen and glass environment pollution such as smoke, candle soot, heating dirt etc fans were absorbed and resulted in contamination streaks on the inside of the glass cover.
A new display technology is applied to the new IMac in 2012 and thus achieved a higher density of the display. Can Apple confirm that with this new display, the old dirt from the inside of the glass are excluded and will no longer occur?
Thank you for answerGood question, but you're not talking to Apple here, just users like yourself, so I doubt you'll get a definitive answer.

Has anybody solved the slow wireless connections speeds of the new Imacs
I have just purchased the new imac...and was made aware of the disastrous connections speeds using wireless.. Does anybody know if apple have come up with a solution...or are they just not dealing with the problem?
I am a brand new Mac user with a new 24 inch iMac purchase. Macs are supposed to be hassle free right? Right. No question I was about ready to throw it out the window because the wireless connection to the expensive AP base station was, oh, 100x slower than my Dell laptop side by side about 1 foot away. Nothing changed even if I connected directly to the AP using an ethernet cable. My connection consists of an Actiontec DSL gateway connected directly to my AP extreme that allows wireless to my PC laptop as well as my new iMac. Hours and hours go by until I find this help link on Mac Orchard Forums:

+WOW!! everyone else with this problem read this! i was having these same huge speed problems using the internet with my new 24" dual core intel imac with 2 gigs of ram and found a posting on another site's thread that fixed it completely.+
+"Try setting your DNS servers to OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) and see if that helps at all. Maybe the ISP's changes increased the load on their DNS servers."+
+my guess is that somehow these DNS servers work the way tiger likes them to while others dont, i have no clue other than to say it works!!+
+heres a site i found that helped me understand how to change the settings:+

With the new Leopard installed I went to the "portforward" link first and followed the instructions exactly to set a static IP address, then I reset my DNS servers with the exact numbers you see above - IT WORKED IMMEDIATELY!!!!! I didn't have to call my ISP or anything, it just worked exactly as it should with both Safari and Firefox. Now this Mac is flying and I will not be tossing it back to Jobs.
Good Luck! -
Mounting the new imac (late 2012)?
I need to mount the new Imac (prob the 27 inch) on an arm. I found one reference that said there wasn't going to be a vesa mount. Does anyone know if it will be possible to mount this thing? I cannot use the stand.. it has to go on an arm for me.
Help!!I was ready to buy the new iMac 27 inch and found out there isn't a way to remove the stand and use a monitor arm! So I am not buying the new iMac.
Just FYI. -
Does the new iMac (27 inche) have thunderbolt in-put?
Im planning to buy the new iMac 27 inche, and I'm wondering if you can use it to play ps3, Xbox 2013, bluray player ext... With thunderbolt to hdmi cable!
I believe the source of the video needs to also have a Thunderbolt port, so it goes from a Thunderbolt port to the iMac's Thunderbolt port.

I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one. For more information, see > http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html -
I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?
Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
Then
Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
Both machines should now have the same library
Disconnect H the ethernet cable
Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
Do the same on the other machine.
Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases
Setting up home sharing -

I recently upgraded my old powerbook to an iMac. I've dumped the files of my backup drive into the new iMac. Is there a way to have access to/merge all the files (new and old computers) together so when I'm logged in can access all the files.
Thanks!
MSure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff. -
I am trying to transfer photos, music, etc from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. The Power Mac is too old for the migration assistant to help. I have an old Firewire but it does not fit the new iMac. Any suggestions? If a Firewire is the best option which one do I need? Thanks.
You need a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable or a external USB 2/3 drive (self powered) it can default to the old USB the G5 uses 1 or 2.

Some Blu rays and DVDs come with digital copies and you inset them into the dvd drive and it downloads the movie to itunes and then you can put them on any iDevice. The new iMac does not have a dvd or disc drive. What can I do?
You will either need to borrow or purchase an external DVD drive, or if you have access to another computer that has a DVD drive you may be able to use Remote Disk:

Should I buy a Macbook Pro or the New iMac 21'. I have the new iPad and an iPhone 4.
I need to buy a new computer soon and obviously im buying a mac. im not sure which mac I should buy. Im undecided between the new iMac or the Macbook Pro 13. Please help.
Fundamentally, do you need a portable system or a desktop system? Do you want something that can move around your apt/house and out and about with you? Once you decide that, the decision is easy. Since you already have an iPad, maybe an iMac would provide a broader coverage solution (I happen to like the larger iMac screen).

We are getting ready to purchase the new imac 27" and would like to know which is the best configuration for watching streaming video, the fusion drive or the more expensive flash drive. We will have a fast fiberoptic internet connection.
the harddisk speed mean nothing when it comes to streaming video from the internet
even the fastests internet using fiberoptics is still much slower then the slowests harddisk you can buy -

I have the disk but no drive oopsI had the same situation. I have an external disk burner which also acts as a CD/DVD/BlueRay Drive/burner.
Having access to an external drive will solve the problem. As long as it has a USB cable you should be able
to plug it into your iMac, spot the disk icon on your desktop and insert the installer disks and load the software.
Hope that helps. -
my Mac Book has 80 G hard drive and right now I only use 30 G on the new iMac. Would love to put the clean installs and Lion on the Mac Book.
Is that possible? Can I use the WiFi or ethernet or firewire to do this if it is possible?
RuthIf your new iMac came with Lion installed, then it is illegal to use it on another computer (these terms are contained in the SLA licensing agreement you agreed to). Aside from that, it probably would not work because your Macbook may not even meet the minimum system requirements. If it does, then update it to Snow Leopard ($29) and then buy Lion.
