Hi, I am going to buy a new iMac desktop. I am going for the 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel i7, 16 GB RAM and 2TB ATA Drive. I want to know whether I should go for the dual drives option i.e including the 256 GB SSD. I do a lot of 'heavy' media work. Brian

by looking at the specs the laptop is better but if your not a gamer or graphics designer then you most likly wont notice a difference in the performance at all so with that said a few downsides
the processor is i5 the i7 processor is the better processor the graphics card has half the dedicated memory that the laptop has and the hdd compared to the solid state is not much of a difference unless you wanna move your computer all the time you wont need a solid state drive
but like i said before if your not a gamer or graphics designer on your computer you will not notice the difference most likely

Suitable ethernet cable for my new Imac 27-inch iMac 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 and old imac 1 GHZ PowerPC G4

I am looking for a Suitable ethernet cable for my new Imac 27-inch iMac 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 (Mavericks 10.9.4) & old imac 1 GHZ PowerPC G4 (10.4.11) for transfering files, documents, photos into my new intel mac from my old power PC imac.
Can anyone please advise me which suitable ethernet cable would be suitable for tasks.
Many thanks
Niall

Note, the iMac G4 1 Ghz only supports 10/100 base-T. Firewire is up to 4 faster with a cable such as this one:

and adapted to this one:

http://www.macsales.com/ may offer cheaper cables.
And since you are migrating from a G4, be sure to make your files portable to newer data formats before transferring. Old Appleworks/Clarisworks files are not compatible:

How can I operate multi displays on my Imac 21.5 quad core 2.5 and have each display function independently?

how can I operate multi displays on my Imac 21.5 quad core 2.5 using Lion and have each display function independently?

Below are some converters/adapters to look at. If these look like they may work:
USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
Matrox DualHead2Go D2G-A2D-IF (or look here)
These should allow you to run multiple displays in extended display mode. Note that these use HDMI as an output so you would need some additional adapter to conver HDMI to whatever your displays require. Of course these suggestions are all academic if such an adapter doesn't exist.
Update:
I just reread your last post and I am confused. Is it only your TV that you are trying to run in extended display mode? I thought you wanted more than two displays. If only the TV it should just work if you are not using mirrored displays. Your Displays Arrangement tab should show both your main screen (one with the little whith menu bar) and the TV. Set the proper resolution and refresh rate for the TV using it's Displays preference window. That is all you need to basically do (ignoring overscan/underscan problems).
Note, if you are using Lion then I have heard that when using full screen mode in Lion additional screens show nothing.

Quad Core iMac vs. Quad Core Mac Pro?

My old Dual 2.5Ghz PowerMac had a coolant leak and Apple is replacing it with a Quad Core 2.66Ghz Mac Pro with 8 gigs of ram and 1 terabyte hd. Is the new Quad Core iMac a more powerful computer? 2.66Ghz vs. 2.66Ghz - NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 vs. ATI Radeon HD 4850? I'm thinking about not even opening the Mac Pro and putting it and my 24" Dell monitor on eBay. Help!

The iMac still has no PCI Express slots and is limited in the RAM upgrade versatility compared to the Mac Pro. Furthermore with only a single Firewire port, uncompressed video capture to a fast hard drive has to take place to a separate partition of the internal hard drive to ensure uninterrupted capture. On the hand it has an infrared port for the remote that the Mac Pro doesn't have, and an SD slot. The SD slot is good for still digital camera media, if you have an SD compatible camera, and it is good for "sneakernet" of data to other machines with SD slots or SD camera adapters. Many printers have these slots nowadays too. A bootable backup can be made to an SD card.
PCI Express offers SATA cards, and Fiberoptic connector cards for faster hard drive connectivity, as well as faster networking, and faster video and audio interface cards than can be found via Firewire and USB.
Also the Mac Pro can have up to 4 internal SATA hard drives.
So the question is, are you going to miss the expansion capabilities, or not? That should be the deciding factor.

"iMac 27" with quad core with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB video processor"

I'm about to order a new iMac 27" quad core with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB video processor.
I'm a long time PC gamer but decided i want to make the full switch to Mac and I have a few questions about the graphics capabilities of this computer.
I game in a clan that plays Battlefield 2 Project Reality.
Will this card handle this game at the high settings and native resolution of the monitor? I also play COD4 and have the same question for that game.
Thanks for your input. I'm sure this will be helpful for all of us and I will share it with my clan of over 100 people strong.

Yeah it plays crysis fine, here is a video of me playing it:

My specs are: Core i7, 8gb of ram and ATI 4850.

ESATA adaptor for MacPro 3.2 Quad-Core?

I have a Quad-Core Mac Pro tower with only Firewire 800/400 ports. How can I increase my connectivity? Is there an eSATA adaptor that I can add to my computer? I work with FCP 7.0.3 and it's too slow with an HD project with Firewire 800. How do I improve it?
Thanks!

You should be able to add an eSATA card to your Mac Pro. I did for mine. OWC hasa a bunch. Follow this OWC link for a sampling of the kinds of cards that could be used.
Note, be aware that not all cards will fully work with all external enclosures due to the interactions of their drivers and the enclosure electronics. For example, I had a card that wouldn't remount the drive in my enclosure if I previously unmounted it. Only reboot would allow a remount. But I got a different card that solved that problem.
Depending on which model and year your mac pro is there is the possibility of using a cable plugged (internally) directly into your machine. See this link.

Power Consumption for iMac 20" INTEL DUO CORE

I need to know which is the power consumption for the 20" 2.16 GHz INTEL CORE DUO. I want to buy a UPS for this machine and I could not figure out in any place within the manual where to get that information. It is something that have to be very easy to find but it was not the case for me in this opportunity.
I cannot believe that I have to create a post in order to get this answer!
Kind regards to all and thanks for any clue that any one can give me.
iMAC 2.16 Dual CORE 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to the discussions!
Another vote for APC. I use the XS900 for my first gen G5 iMac and it works very nicely without their PowerChute software. It even comes with the correct USB cable to hook it into your Mac.

My new iMac 27 i7 quad core (early 2011) is slower than the iMac 21 core duo 3,06 ghz (late 2009).

hello i've just bouth my new imac 27" ( spring 2011) with quad core i7 3,4ghz 4gb ram and 2gb ati radeon graphics..
I've proceded with the migration assistent and just copied my old configurations, programs and datas from the old one ( imac late 2009 27" 8gb ram intel core duo 3,06 ghz, 256mb ati radeon graphics) to the new one...now they are twins with boot lion 10,7,2..what i've just discovered? that the old one is a litttle faster than the new one.
photoshop is opening faster
and more or less all the adobe suite..
is that a joke? how is that possible? i can think that the issue is all about the RAM (4gb new imac, 8gb old imac)..
could someone help me please?
thankyou.
Andre

As far as I am aware iMacs do not have upgradeable CPUs.

Is RAM and OS for iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo upgradeable?

Can the RAM and OS for a iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM, 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, MAC OS X 10.6.8 be upgraded? Looking to upgrade to 4 GB RAM and OS X 10.8. Please advise. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course you can upgrade RAM. You have a Late 2006 iMac, which supports 4 GB of RAM. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_2006
This Mac can't be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion because OS X Mountain Lion needs a Mid 2007 or newer iMac. Instead, you can upgrade to OS X Lion by calling Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

7 angles (cameras) edit - is it possible for iMac 3,06 Intel Core Duo?

or i want too much?
Hi there! I have 7 tracks of ProRes HQ 1920 X 1080 50i to perform a multitrack edit. Problem is - doesn't show a realtime preview, so i can't choose a proper track
Is it possible with my iMac 3,06 Intel Core Duo, 2 Gigs of RAM, + strip 1TB raid? I guess i'm in lack of memory If i increase the amount of RAM to, lets say, 8 Gigs - would it solve a problem?
If not - is there a way of some low resolution editing? Thanks

ProRes HQ, certainly not. Definitely not over Firewire and almost certainly not over even the internal drive (not that you'd want media on your system drive anyways). Yes for low-res editing, it's called offline editing. Someone else will probably have a lint for you to Kenstone or Creative Cow to easily tell you what to do, but when I did it for me, I went from DVCPro HD to DV NTSC. As long as you export the correct timecode, you should be set to then edit in that offline format's sequence then Media Manage back to the full-quality files.
Hope this helps,
-Brian

Oracle Licensing for a server with Quad Core Processor

I know Oracle Standard Edition ONE is only licensed to install on a server with a max of 2 processors.
1) Now when it comes to the type of processor does it matter what type of processors they are ?
2) Can we have 2 Quad Core Processors on the server and install the Standard Edition One ( and comply to Oracle Licensing) ?
Please do not direct me to Oracle Sales Rep, I want inputs from the Oracle experts from this forum

Please do not direct me to Oracle Sales Rep, I want inputs from the Oracle experts from this forumUnfortuinately, no matter what you hear on the net, it ain't worth anything in front of a judge. Therefore you MUST get the final answer from someone with authority to speak on behalf of Oracle - and that is a Sales Rep.
However, in the mean time, you can read http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/sig-070616.pdf .
SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT PAGE 15. Many people (including some in this thread) are totaly wrong about how Standard Edition is licensed.
