Apple aware of video problem in the new Intel iMacs

Macworld Daily News
Thursday - February 09, 2006
Apple investigates Intel iMac Front Row problems
By Macworld staff
Apple has confirmed it is aware of, and investigating, reports of video problems in the new Intel iMacs.
Recent reports claimed that some users had experienced random horizontal lines and other video playback problems when playing video in Front Row.
"Apple is aware of this issue and is looking into it," the company said in an email to a web-based pressure group that has been gathering information on the problem. "If a customer has any technical issues, they should contact AppleCare."
The problem is allegedly software-based.

"Sure, I'd be more understanding had it been an issue that required a very special set of conditions to trigger"
Apparently it does as this issue is not affecting all users.
"As I was told, affected owners would not be proactively notified"
Where you you prefer them to use their limited resources, trying to figure out who MAY be affected and sending them some sort of detailed action plan, or spending the resources determining the cause of the issue and developing a solution that can be distributed to the ones who need it not only now, but those that may discover the issue next week?
I can understand that you are frustrated, and don't blame you for feeling that way, but this is an all new piece of technology and bugs are going to come up that were missed in testing. No company can afford to test at a 100% level. To do so would drive the costs so high as to make it impossible to sell the product, especially to the market the iMac is aimed at. Apple has a pretty darned good track record of resolving issues quickly when they appear. Until they do you only have a few choices. Use the workaround until the solution appears, waste time complaining about it, or sell the iMac and purchase a different product. That's really about all you can do!
It was good of you to spend your valuable time, and yes it is valuable, trying to help the engineers or service reps solve the issue. That they spent that much time with you should show their commitment to solving this issue.
Be patient, give them a chance, they have not had long to try and figure this out.

Should I exchange my I Book G4 for the New Intel IMAC

I just bought an G4 i book on 12-31 and maybe i should have waited untill after the conference to get a mac computer, but i really wanted the G4, and i been wanting to switch from PC to mac for a while, I guess i just chose the wrong time. I am not sure what to do now, should i take back my ibook and get an imac? I feel really dumb about getting the G4, even though it is great. I know they are going to come out with an intel one this year. Can anyone help me out and let me know what i should do? Any advice would be great. Thanks
I Book G4 Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Hi Daniel,
To your response about the programs not being able to work with the new Intels is true for the most part.Apple Developer Connection for a long time has had links on how to change program's code into Universal Binary. Many companies have switched their programs over to Universal Binary. Microsoft Office is available to work on the PowerMac. The PowerMac also works with FileMaker Pro and Quicken. I don't use MS Office or anything made by MS because I have iWorks '05, which is even better. It is fully compatible will MS Office.
I am getting a PowerMac solely because I need a faster and more powerful machine. I have 8000 photos (2000 on iBook 6000 on iMac) and I can't fit and edit them all at the same time. I need the portability and the power to run the "pro" applications.
I hope that helps,
Jon
PS I wouldn't say upgrade it to an Intel Mac unless you need to. The new Intel computers come with MS Office Test Drive, so I am guessing it works

Need to use my FCP 5 fast. Will it likely not work on the new Intel iMac?

Hi,
I purchased a standalone version of FCP 5 about 6 months ago. I am thinking about getting a new Intel-based iMac, and I need to use the program fast (so I can't wait for Apple to send me that 5.1 upgrade). How likely is it that FCP 5 will still run on the new iMac?
Thanks!

It does work, although "not supported" i.e. if you have problems with it it's not Apple's problem.
As stated in numerous threads posted in this forum, hit the Escape key when you get the error message upon opening the App.
Not believeing everything you read on the Apple site but believing what's written here is kind of a hypocritical statement isn't it? Believe me = Bwa Ha Ha Ha! (pun intended, Studio x)
And FWIW I think you'll go far in life! And that means a lot coming from me.
Welcome to the discussions!

Applicatons with the New Intel Imac

I want to purchase a new intel based imac, but I am curious if Yahoo Messenger will work with rosetta. Any help appreciated.
imac intel Mac OS X (10.4.4)

According to the postings on Imac (early 2006) the results are varied. Some users are experiencing software and performance problems some aren't. Check out the early 2006 forum and read some of the postings-the results so far are mixed. I ,for one, am glad I have a rev. b G5 since it appears some teething problems are cropping up on the Mactels just like they did on the rev. a Imacs. I wouldn't consider one until the universal binary written software hits the market and Apple does an upgrade/revision on the machine just like on the original Imac G5's.

Can the new intel iMacs run Classic?

Hi just wondering if anyone knows if you can run Classic on intel
Intel iMac 17" 1 Gig of Ram 1.83 ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The inability to (easily?) run Classic was a big and unexpected issue for me, when I upgraded from my PowerPC 7500 running OS 8.6 to an Intel iMac. Frustratingly, the iMac had lots of software and lots of Help suggestions about how to migrate from OS 8 or 9 to OS 10... but none of it was useful on an Intel machine.
After a fair amount of work and some third-party shareware, got it all to work. Moving (exporting then importing) Quicken records was the most difficult task. The most persistent problem is the absence of extension or type/creator information on the files I've moved, which renders them invisible to Spotlight.

How do I perform a 'hard refresh' on the new Intel iMac?

I'm trying to see my own favicon I use with my website. From the Turning Gate Forum I get the advise to perform a hard refresh: SHIFT-CMD-R.
Nothing happens! Is this the right key-combination?

I've never heard of a hard refresh but I would try clearing your cache (Safari - Reset Safari, or Firefox - History - Clear; make sure you select Favicons if you see that option), and restarting your browser.

Updgrade to the new Intel chip

I ordered my IMac G5 on November 30th. and received it on December 7th.
When less than a month later I saw the new intel chip and ILife version I got angry to Apple customer service for not telling me about this change.
Is there anything I can do to upgrade my Mac?
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian;
When you ordered the iMac G5 you had certain plans for it. With the announcement of the Intel iMac, what is your iMac G5 not doing for you now?
Or is this more a matter of envy, you iMac G5 is no longer the newest thing?
If you most have the latest and greatest, you can always sell it on eBay and order the new Intel iMac.
It is your call but if it is doing what you bought it to do, I personally would ignore the fact that is the latest and greatest and just use it.

ISight, iMovieHD and new intel iMac

It looks like apple fixed the problem with using the internal iSight with iMovie HD with the new intel iMac. The user's manual details the steps required to record with the iSight directly into iMovieHD. Finally
Glor

Don't know if you could do this before, but remember that the new iMacs come with the new version of iLife (06). So it is probably more to do with that, than the computer.

Does ayone know anything about the acclaimed Intel imacs?

Apperently there is a new intel imac coming soon. The thing is I want an imac for christmas but I am not sure if its worth waiting for this new intel one. Plus if the new intel imacs would work with frutiy loops (a windows music programe).
Cheers

Kraftwerk Fanatic,
We are not allowed to speculate on these forums beyond what Apple has officially publicised. All we officially know is that 2006 is the target year for these Intel Macs. There are Mac rumour sites on the internet that speculate on these issues, with variable accuracy. All I can say is that the current iMac is a fab computer - it looks great and the new features are a real boost from the previous version. The 2.1GHz G5 is a good strong processor, that combined with a good graphics card should be a good investment. Only you can decide if you can wait an unknown period (could be more than a year) until the new Intel version comes out. It could be even longer before you feel happy investing in the new technology, maybe you would like a model pre-installed with OS 10.5 - but can you wait until 2007?
I always recommend against delaying a purchase because of future technology: if you need new technology now then buy and enjoy, you will get a good few years from the current G5.

New intel iMac 20" problems...please advise.

I just purchased my first Mac last week. It is a 20" Intel iMac Core Duo with 2 gigs of RAM (apple RAM installed on site). After a day of use I began to have random kernel panics. Later, my system would shut down after two hours of use. I reset the SMC and that did the trick for 3 days. Now the top of the unit near the camera is getting hot and when I boot up from a shut down, the system does not boot to the desktop... it boots right into sleep mode, then takes about 15 to 20 minutes to wake from sleep mode where it goes into a couple of restatrs. Over the phone assistance has not been able to diagnose the problem and hardware tests all indicate that there are no problems. Furthermore, my work hours make it realy difficult for me to schedule time with a genius. I switched from a pc to a mac because I was tired of the problems with my pcs, but I am having far more trouble with my mac.

I will call apple when I get home. I have apple care for three years. The tech support has been good, but they are worried about the heat eminating from the area by the camera. Sadly, all the techs at my local apple store tell me that they are unfamiliar with the new intel iMac core duo and don't know what else to do. To top it all off, there was a popping sound from my mac and the the sound went out. I toggled the volume on the keyboard and the sound came back. I was told over the phone that I have to make an appointment with a genius to look at my system, but that they would only replace it if necessary. Sadly, my work schedule does not permit this. I wish I could just walk in and get the blasted thing replaced.

Has anyone seen the new 2012 iMac in any Apple stores yet?

I was told by an Apple store employee that they would have the new 2012 iMac's in the Apple stores with-in a few days of their launch announcement, back in late October .... here it is late November and the new 2012 iMac's are not yet in the Apple store, for display purposes, here in Rochester, NY.
Last night I was again at the Apple store here in Rochester, and asking about the new iMacs. one of the employees now says they "may be out in December" some time.
I'm very disapponted as a loyal Mac user for over twenty years (and even as an Apple investor). that Apple is announcing the launch of these new products, and then taking months for these products to show up for sale.
I'm starting to think that it won't be until late January that I can actually be able to purchase one of the new 2012 21.5" iMacs ..... i've been waiting years to get a new "antiglare" iMac.
Has any one actually seen one of the new 21.5" 2012 iMacs in one of their local Apple stores, on display yet?

UPDATE: Dec. 6, 2012
I was just over at the local Apple store loking at the new 21.5" iMac, and to be honest, I wasn't all that impressed. I have been waiting for over a year to upgrade my Mac, and had high expectations for the new 2012 iMac's .... but seeing and playing with one in the store .... the new one's may not be for me.
Most of all I wanted to believe all the talk about 75% less reflections in the new iMac display, but while in the Apple store, I saw no real difference over the previous model ... and if so, it was more like 25% less reflections. Nothing that dramatic, certainly not like the "anti-glare" screens available in the 2011 MacBook Pro. Basically, my understanding is that the new 2012 iMac's use the SAME DISPLAY as the previous iMac models did. It's the LG "LM215WF3" display, same as those in the 2009-2011 iMac displays. The only difference in the 2012 display, is that they took out the small space between the outer glass and the actual screen surface to get the overall display thinner. It still has the basic "glossy glass" cover screen.
The other disappointment was the extremely poor audio sound from the new iMac's built-in speakers. They just sounded so "tinny", even when playing with multiple iTunes "equalizer" settings. Again, disappointing.
Looks like I'll have to research the possibility of buying a Mini-Mac and an older Apple 20" cinema display off eBay. Or pick up a late model 2011 iMac and get the Rad-Tech "anti-glare" screen film for the display (Ugh!).
Being a graphic designer and art director in profession, I just can't understand why Apple has abandoned the "professional" market for these glossy displays in it's iMac line .... or at least STILL hasn't given us an option for a true "anti-glare" display.
Is it just me, or are my observations on the new 2012 iMac being seen the same by others as well?

Will my printer and scanner work with the new intel mac?

My first post.. so I hope i am in the right place! (was in wrong place last attempt!)
I want to buy the new intel...but I would like to know for sure if it will work with my scanner and printer.
Printer is Epson Stylus Photo 2100 and the scanner is Microtek ScanMaker 4900.
I have emailed both Epson and Microtek... phoned Epson.. and I still do not know the answer.
The responses were
"At this point in time with have been given no information on whether our printer drivers will work or not....".
"Yes it will work with OSX 10.4"
"As you know this new intel chip has just hit the market. This particular configuration is in the alpha stage of testing. As of now there has not been any reports or customer correspondence of any concerns."
I have been scanning these posts and it seems that only the operating system is relevant? If anyone could help I would appreciate it. I am finally able to replace my old, old, well loved G4 but am worried I will make the wrong decision.

Thanks all for the helpful comments. I am getting closer to going out and buying the intel. As for the Canon printer... its not really an option for me, since the Epson cost me more than the computer will! But I will keep it in mind for the future. And do you think this applies to digital cameras as well Tomzo? I have been considering buying my first digital.. and thought the pentax might be best, since it apparently can use the lenses from my film camera.
Thanks again all..I will keep checking the apple site list and the web sites as suggested by you.

What's the deal with Intel and the new kernel?

Hi
I have trouble understanding the whole deal behind Intel's video drivers and the new kernel. What doesn't work and why? Could someone please try to explain what the problem is in a way so that a newbie like me can understand it?
Thanks

Intel and Linux are transitioning to a new graphics system. We're in the middle of the transition, so everything's kinda suckish right now. Old kernel and drivers are better, development kernel and drivers are almost as good, and they will get much better soon.

I have a dos program that I need to be able to run on the new intel chip.
Is there a safe and reliable way to do it?
thanks

Thanks for your reply.
Have you used parallels for dos?
I am considering getting the new mac book but want to make sure that it will run the dos program.
