TV Tuner for IMac
Hi Folks,
I was wondering whether I can buy a tv tuner for my iMac. I am in Ireland and would like to be able to receive digital / analogue terrestrial tv channels. Would be grateful for any advice you can provide.

I'm curious on the fastest, most reliable, and best quality TV Tuner for the iMac available. I would like some feedback on a few you may have purchased or any information you've heard. Thanks for reading this I appreciate your time.
Check out any of the ElGato Tuners.
I use the Hybrid and have enjoyed its wonderful features.
All basic cable channels, DVR and conversion to iTunes to watch on the iPod. -

Hello,
I'm looking for a product that will allow me to connect my Comcast/Xfininity cable to my imac and use it as a TV. My comcast area was "upgraded" a year or so ago, so all my TV's have a least a small "conversion" box with a remote. I'd ideally like to elimate the need to this box and connect directly to the Mac using the co-ax cable however.. I'm guessing I'll at least need to connect through the "converter".
So.... what is a good solution for this scenario. I do not need DVR capability.
Thanks!

Which tv tuner for Imac?
Hi, i want to buy a tv tuner card that can handle both NTSC and PAL signals.
i stay in USA (NTSC or ATSC signal) and i travel frequently to UK/India (PAL signal).i bought elgato hybrid tv but its unable to handle the PAL signals properly.Can any one please suggest a TV tuner that supports all international StandardsHello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The Elgato EyeTV 250 (link) or the EyeTV Hybrid (link). (Elgato's web site is giving 500 errors at the moment so I've linked to reviews instead.) The Hybrid is bus-powered but uses the iMac's processor. The +250 Plus+ has it's own power supply but also it's own processor.
1GB (or even 2GB in the USA) is very cheap but here's how to decide if you really do need more RAM now (link).
cheers

2 questions: Convert analog video AV- USB Converter; Good TV Tuner For IMac
1) I need to convert analog video tapes onto my Mac. What's a good AV to USB converter?
2) I'd like to take advantage of my 24" screen and occasionally watch TV on my Mac. What's a good TV tuner?
Thanks.Most recommend the Canopus converter, but it is $100-200. I was curious if the analog to digital tv converters available for $10 with the $40 govt coupon would serve the same purpose. I don't know why it wouldn't, but I haven't seen one. I'm going to try to borrow from a friend and see.
Otherwise you can borrow someone's Sony Digital8 to use to play Hi8 and it works as a converter (some models don't do Hi8 playback). This worked for me, but I was afraid I would wear out the "eject' on my friends Digital8 bc I have 60 tapes to transfer.
Other option is to play on old Hi8 thru a miniDV camcorder, used as a converter. My Canon zr500 miniDv doesn't seem to have that option.
I may try to use my Presidian dvr from Radio Shack as a pass thru converter. I haven't tried it yet either, but I think it might be yet another option. If anyone knows how to do any of these, please reply. It seems the tv converter should work and I'll get one if it does. -
I looking a compatible tv tuner for a iMac 800mhz, can one any help?
I looking a compatible tv tuner for a iMac 800mhz, can anyone help?
Elgato's EyeTV 400, no longer produced, worked with iMac 800 Mhz. Just a note, your machine is a bare minimum for video conversion to compressed formats. You may get choppy video. I would seriously consider upgrading to at least an iMac G5 1.8 Ghz, if not an Intel Core2Duo iMac.

Tv tuner card for imac 400mhz powerpc g3
tv tuner card for imac 400mhz powerpc g3 - 256ram - I'm running os x 10.3.9. Does anyone know of a tv tuner card or device that I can use to watch tv on my imac?
Unfortunately most of these TV devices require USB2 bandwidth so are not suitable for the iMac G3.
The Firewire versions (EyeTV 310, 410 and 610 depending on input type) are the only options.
The EyeTV 250 is an analogue only Tuner that does work on USB1.1 but in a low quality mode only.

Is there a DVB-T2 compatible USB tuner for an IMAC ???
is there a DVB-T2 compatible UBS tuner for my Imac ?
Guy would this be of any help:
To start up your computer in Apple Hardware Test:
Press the power button to turn on your computer.
Press and hold the D key before the gray startup screen appears. If Apple Hardware Test does not start up, see the Additional Information section at the end of this article.
Note: Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT. An Internet-enabled connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi is required to use this feature.
It takes a minute or so for Apple Hardware Test to start up and inspect your hardware configuration. While this is taking place, an icon appears on the screen:
When the process is complete, select your language and click the right arrow. If you aren't using a mouse, you can use the up and down arrows to select a language and then press the Return key.
The Apple Hardware Test console appears. You can choose which sort of test or tests to perform:
To perform all of the basic tests, click the Test button or press the "T" key or the Return key.
To perform a more thorough diagnostic test, select the "Perform extended testing" checkbox under the Test button before you click the Test button.
Your test results will appear in the window in the bottom-right of the console.
To exit AHT, click Restart or Shut Down at the bottom of the window. -

i am trying to upgrade to yosemite (for imac) from version 10.6.8 but even though i have 70gb available on my hard drive it wont let me upgrade because it says i dont have enough memory!! what can i do??
Install more RAM in the computer; the Mac needs to have at least 2GB of RAM and should have 4GB or more first.

i would like to be able to insure that when i import a CD into i-Tunes that all tracks from that CD go into a single file for that album in their proper order regardless of whether or not there is a featured artist on one or two tracks or whatever. i recentl;y imported an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one song featured a guest artist i-Tunes placed that song in a seperate folder and so when i synced my daughters i-Pod Touch that one track is not with the rest of the tracks form the album and has to be listened to seperately. The song is from the same album and should be where it belongs with the rest of that album so she can listen to the entire album with the tracks in the proper order. I am sure that this can be done i just don't know how.
Edit the Name of the problem song to Name [Feat. Guest]
Change the Artist of that song to All Time Low

What you want cannot be done. iTunes has its quirks, and the above is the kind of workaround needed to make the media display sensibly on any device. The article I pointed you to has others that you may find useful in future.

How do I make a private album in new Photos for IMac?
How do I make a private album in the new Photos for IMac? I had one in iPhoto, and now that all the photos migrated to Photos my private album is not hidden anymore. Thanks for help!
Photos does not hide photos in albums at all. Photos can only be hidden from Moments, Collections, Years.
If you want private albums, move the photos in questions to a different Photos Library, that you keep hidden. -
I use i-tunes for backing tracks. How can I set up a play list to play only one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?
ThanksUncheck all the songs in the playlist. iTunes will then play one song and stop.

When starting a new project in elements 7 I can't change settings.
Even when I close an open project, the box pops up, and asks if I would like to save changes. It won't let me make a selection. I have to close the program through task manager. Any ideas? Up to date, and reinstalled twice.

File sharing on a MacMini with Snow Leopard Server slower than on a G4
