Updated iMac question -- is this the "main" refresh? or should I wait?

I read that this might be a "minor" refresh until october-ish, when the 'main' refresh will take place. Having never owned a mac (I am trez excited), I'm wondering?? Thanks!

I have no idea, you would need to contact Apple to find out. However if you did it would almost certainly invalidate your warranty.
Last please do not threadjack. If you have a new question please start a new thread.

Thinking about getting a new iMac to use as the main computer. Has anyone done this? What is your experience and recommendations?

We have a 2009 MBP, 2010 MBP, 2011 MBA, an IPAD 2, and several ipods. Currently, my 2009 MBP is the main computer, holding all the music and pictures. This has used up the majority of the available storage and definitely slows it down some. I do back up the full computer to a backup drive and also remove the large movie files to another external drive. I'm thinking about getting a new iMac to use as the main computer. Has anyone done this? What is your experience and recommendations?
I look forward to all responses.
Thanks,
Brad

Thanks for your response. I look forward to hopefully learning something new here.
A good share of my music was added via my CDs, but now everything is added via itunes and occasionally amazon. Almost all my pictures and video are added through my cameras via iphoto although I have added some with the 'add image to iphoto library' function also.

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

After trying to update all in app store the icons are just staying on waiting position and noting happens

After trying to update all in app store the icons are just staying on waiting position and noting happens

I have posted this quite a few times and some of these suggestions have worked for others in the past. See if anything works for you.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. You can also dete apps in Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Windows users iMac is coming, whats the first thing I should do

I just got a shipping notification that my iMac will be here in 4 days.
I'm a Windows user, never had a mac. What are the first things I should do when I add the iMac to my network and turn it on?

Hi, unpack it carefully, open the bottom of the box and slide the box off the mac. Set up exactly according to the instructions. Before connecting to your network I would run it for a few days and ensure it's ok. I would not install any 3rd party Apps until you are sure that the mac is 100%. Did you purchase Applecare?
Are you intending to use ethernet or wireless? This book may be helpful, my daughter & I learnt a lot from the advice & info -> Teach Yourself Visually. OSX published by Visual...Happy Mac'ing...Don't forget the forum is here to help..L

I set up the the sync add on and had no errors.When I sync now I get"Sync encountered an error while syncing:Firefox sync server maintenance is underway..."I have gotten this mesaage for the last 10 hours.Should I wait or is there an issue with my setup?

I just loaded Firefox onto my laptop. I set up the the sync add on and had no errors. When I hit sync now I get "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Firefox sync server maintenance is underway, syncing will resume automatically." I have gotten this message for the last 10 hours. Should I wait or is there an issue with my setup? I checked the Mozilla sync server status and it listed no issues.

There was a server out last week. see below. now everything works great. thanks for the follow up.

19:39:11 PDT --- Well, this is embarrassing. It looks like one of our
servers was down and for whatever reason we didn't notice.
It should be working now. If you still see errors, please reopen this bug.

I've updated, but I keep getting the message that I should -- urgently.

I've followed the instructions to upgrade; I don't understand why I'm still being urged to upgrade. I would like verification that I completed the process successfully -- or further instructions about what else to do. Thank you for your attention. (I'm 76 years old, and I am a bit timid about technology -- but I'm trying!)

The Firefox 3.5.x branch has reached end-of-life and is no longer maintained.<br />
You will no longer receive security updates.

Question about clearing the main drive

Not quite sure if this is even possible (I'm not the greatest with computers) but I'm interested in just cleaning up my hard drive. I've had the computer for a year and just want to get rid of some of the programs I'm not using in order to improve the processor speed, etc.. I know just dragging stuff to the trash doesn't completely clear it, what is the best way about going through my Mac and clearing off old files and programs.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

MY IMAC don't see the main server and all the network! I didn't nothing on his system, but since some days it is out of network on my company. And what is curious is that others computers can see mine. Some one can help me??

My IMAC lost the network, it can be seen but cannot see! What I have to do?

You're welcome.
Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

Ipad App Store said "20" updates. I attempted to update w/3G. Now many apps say "Waiting" and are frozen. When I go online and plug into computer it just updates and doesn't address the individual apps, which still say "Waiting" and are frozen.

iPad App Store app said "20 updates". Attempted to update w/3G. Updated some, but now many apps say "waiting" and are frozen. I attempted to update then by attaching to computer Itunes Store. All it did was very quickly go thru the 4 steps and said, "Synched, OK to uplug." I clicked my ipad and then apps. It also said Update complete (or something like that). Now several apps on iPad are frozen and say "Waiting". Help!!

Oh a few other things I forgot.
The long winded back-ups!!!! JESSSSSSH! Although I think the latest update seems to have bit into this a bit.
Also why is it that sometimes when the iPhone is syncing it will not say on the actual iPhone that it is syncing. I see it's syncing in iTunes but the iPhone doesn't have the typical do not disconnect -syncing message!!! What's odd is I can see the new apps being updated to the iPhone and as long as I don't open any apps it will finish it's sync but the minute I open any apps the iPhone will lock-up!!!

New iMac - software is on the laptop. I should have one more download for Lightroom but can't find my disc. Am I SOL or can they not allow me to download it online?

I just got a new iMac desktop. I need to install Lightroom on it. I had it on my laptop and I cannot find the disc anywhere. Shouldn't I be able to download it online with a key code from the original program? I cannot get thru in chat support with adobe and I tried to call and it doesn't work either. This is my only hope someone help.

As long as you still have your serial number you can download it here: Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh
