Hi Robin,
since the iMacs don't have a video-in port (only a video-out port) a 'wire' won't work.

How to transfer files from old flat screen Imac to time capsule?

I just purchased a brand new Imac and would like to transfer my files, pics and music to it from my old flat screen Imac.
I have a 500gb capsule as my wireless router and backup for the new imac, however my old imac does not have airport installed on it so I can't access the capsule wirelessly.
So... I was wondering if I could link them together through ethernet or hook the old imac to the capsule with an ethernet cable and off load my files to it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, let's give the following a try:
1) On the host iMac (the "old" iMac), in the Services pane of the Sharing System Preferences pane, turn on Personal File Sharing.
2) From the Finder's Go menu on the "new" iMac, choose Network. A computer icon for host iMac should be present.
3) Double-click it to mount it. You will need to provide credentials (an account name & password). These credentials must be an existing user account on the host iMac.
4) The host iMac should now be mounted on the new iMac's desktop. You should now be able to transfer files as required between devices.

Is iPad Mini with Retina display screen a gorilla glass?

Is iPad Mini with Retina display screen a gorilla glass?

No it's definitely not gorilla glass... I don't know if it's even hardened glass. My iPad Mini's screen broke the other day with the slightest bump. When I submitted it to Apple to be fixed (I assumed it was weakened in production or something) they said it would cost $225 to replace it. So yeah, be very very very careful with your iPads... don't let your kids touch them or anything (buy them Kindle Fires). I'm going to attempt to fix my iPad Mini's screen myself (lest I cut myself). If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to move on to Android tablets with gorilla glass...

Why can you not use powernap with a custom order iMac with solid state?
Find it quite ridiculous that a 3 year old mba supports it and not a new iMac

Agreed. Why wouldn't you want your Photostream updated while your iMac is sleeping? I am bummed about this.

I have two Macs--a flat-screen iMac that uses i-tunes 9 (its max) and a MacBook Intel duo that uses i-tunes 10 (its max). Both are on sharing. I am trying to put the Library from the flat screen i tunes music onto the MacBook. I have carefully followeBook

I have two Macs, an i-Mac flat screen that runs on OSX.4.11 and i-tunes 9 and a MacBook Intel Duo that runs on Snow Leopard and i-tunes 10. I have carefully followed all the Advanced instructions for sharing music libraries, which is not a problem; however I am unable to transfer following the instructions to drag the music I want from t he i-Mac flat screen library onto the MacBook. Help! Please! Also, my new Nano will not accept i-tunes 9 which is where I have my old i-pod contents stored--the old i-pod died. Many thanks!

UPDATE: I disconnected the iPhone, restarted it, and tried again to sync it with the iTunes library on the iMac. This time it worked
Now I'm going to try to transfer the music into the iTunes library on the PowerBook, then sync with that, delete the library on the iMac, and sync the (hopefully full of all my music) iPhone with the iMac again.

Trying to install Tiger on 17" flat screen imac 800mhz. PLEASE HELP!!

I posted on this board a few days ago about installing tiger on my 17” imac G4 800 mhz Flat Panel.
My computer is running well and with no problems.
My current OS is jaguar 10.2.8 and 9.2.2.
I have 35gb free on my hd.
I have just installed new 517mb memory.
I purchased the Full Retail 10.4 Tiger ref M96392Z/A
I have run
Disk First Aid
Disk Warrior
Hardware Check
All passed
I have repaired permissions.
I have unplugged everything except the keyboard and mouse.
I have inserted the the installation DVD and gone through the first 2 stages.
On reaching the selection of the HD
It reads “Some volumes are unavailable until the installer has finished processing”
The HD image is greyed out and if I place the cursor over it a message appears saying “This volume is not yet available.
There is a spinning wheel in the top right hand corner of the box.
Aware that this is a large upgrade and could be slow, I have left the box and spinning wheel for 7 hours.
No Change.
I went ‘back’ and opened disk utilities. When I try and verify the disk it reads “Cannot unmount”
I am a retired person and I am begining to think I will die before I can install Tiger.
Help Me Please!!!

Can't you borrow a friend's external drive ?
You could use mine but I live a bit far away (10 hours flight)... unfortunately for you ...
If you have important data on your drive you should anyway consider such an external hard drive for easy, safe and fast backup ! Prices droped significantly and a low capacity (120 gig) external firewire drive shouldn't cost over $100.-- (unlike a computer, they easely fit in a safe when you are away for a long period...)
You could ask someone (reliable) or Apple centre to change the internal drive by remplacing it with a new faster one. This way you may put the old drive in an empty (you should buy an external drive case, I suggest a sarotech FW/USB II and a maxtor drive) case you could use as backup drive.
This solution is a little more expensive but has the advantage of a longer (+/-3 years) factory waranty on the drive ("ready to use" external drives are cheaper but usualy carry only one year waranty).

Mac mini with rolling tv screen

I hooked up my mac mini to my tv and I get a rolling screen. I tried changing the display by using a monitor, but when I go back to the tv, it keeps doing the same thing. Please help.

This is likely caused by the mini failing to correctly detect the TV, thus having a resolution and refresh rate setting which the TV doesn't support.
Try:
Booting the mini with no display attached and waiting until sufficient time has elapsed for MacOS to load and the desktop to appear, then connect the TV.
If that doesn't work, boot into safe mode (hold the shift key down while booting) until the desktop appears. If this allows it to display correctly, open the display preferences and set a resolution and refresh rate your TV is known to work with.
If that doesn't work, boot the system with the other monitor attached, and when running, use the finder to search for 'windowserver'. Delete all files it finds and then reboot with the TYV connected.

Ipad mini with retina display screen defect?

Thanks for any helpful information and answers, it is greatly appreciated. My Ipad mini with retina display has a large hairline crack starting from the top left hand of the screen that contiunes to bottom of the right hand of the screen, as shown in the picture. I did not drop my ipad or damage it in anyway. I would just like some opions if this large hairline crack looks like a screen defect.

Opinions here will not be of any help. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Using Mini with Real Player

I've been using my Mini with Real Player instead of I-Tunes. It was working fine until recently, new songs that I download will show up on Real Player under my I-Pod but they won't actually show up up on my physical I-Pod. I was able to succesfully dowload about 85 songs, but since then, I've tried to dowload about another 80 songs that just won't transfer over.. Please help me

Now i always thought that iPod could only be used with iTunes.

Flat Screen imac iMac won't boot up, will not boot from DVD

My 24" imac flat screen will not boot. I only get a blank gray/white screen. Reset the PRAM and tried to boot from the DVD. I held the C key down when I powered on but the system will not boot from the DVD. If I wait long enough, the DVD will eventually be ejected. I have had HD issues and Disk Warrior indicated that the drive was damaged. Will a dead hard drive cause the system to not boot from the DVD? Is there any way to get the system to boot from my DVD?

Hello PMcDer,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
By what you are describing you're correct in believing your drive is probably gone. The sad news... if Disk utility can no longer see the drive, your ability to retrieve any data off of it is getting slim.
There are a couple of options for data retrieval.
1. If you still have Apple Care have them fix it. But make sure they know that you do not have a backup.
2. If you do not have Apple Care, have an Authorized Apple Tech replace the drive and make sure that they will give you back the old drive. This may prove to be a challenge. Or you can replace the drive yourself. It is not easy for some but take your time and you'll have no problems. Lots of youtube videos on this as well as on-line tutorials.
3. You could try a Hard Disk Utility program like Disk Warrior to see if it can help, but it's not free.
4. You could pay someone big bucks for Data recovery in order to get the data of the drive for you.
If you decided to do the HDD swap yourself. You could purchase a 3.5" firewire enclosure that you could put your old drive into once you do the swap. Plug it into the iMac and prey that it recognizes it. Then "MAYBE" you could copy the data over to the new drive, but that is a stretch.

I bought a used white flat screen imac (PPC with OS10.5.8. I had to replace the harddrive from storm damage. How can I find/download a full install version of 10.5 to format and load the new hard-drive? Currently comes on with ? screen.

I have a white 17' flat panel g5 imac power pc, I recently bought used. It had OS 10.5.8. Due to a storm the hard drive was damaged and I replace with new hd.
I did not get a system disc or other support discs with the machine. How or where can I find or download a new-install version of OS 10.5 or up to 10.5.8 that will work with the PPC? Thanks.

Call the Apple Store and ask them to sell you a copy, you can then use the combo updater or you can buy a copy on eBay, but make sure it's the black retail copy and not a grey machine specific disc.

Mac mini to 32" flat screen crt tv

I'm looking to start using my mac mini on my tv but I don't have a new "thin" lcd or plasma HD tv, I'm still using my older, large tv with a scart input at the back and composite video inputs on the front.
I'd prefer to hook the mac up to the scart at the back and wondered if the following adapter would do the trick,
http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=4E04E214&fnode= home/shopmac/mac_accessories/videodevices&nplm=TK795
if so, do I need anything else? more leads? If not, then what's my best solution?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
James

I went into the store and they sorted me out with the following lead
http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=B5B972C0&fnode= home/shopmac/mac_accessories/videodevices&nplm=M9319
This did give me a signal & picture to the tv but the quality was awful and I never got past that! I'm guessing that this was my tv not the output from the macmini which obviosuly should be perfect, I just couldn't get the tv to format the signal to give a decent picture.

Using Mini DisplayPort to VGA, screen resolution distorts. How do I fix?

When I use my Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, the resolution gets too big for my screen (mbpro 15") and the same thing appears on the projector I use. I'm not sure if I should change my screen resolution while I use the projector or what?
Also, the first (and only) time I used it, it seemed as if the signal wouldn't even send. After a while of fiddling around, the screen finally showed up on the projector (distorted) but we didn't do anything different to change that. It just kind of did it on it's own. Is this common for "first uses" or will this happen every time?
I plan on using this again Friday.

Welcome! If you have mini displayport, you should try the appropriate discussion group for your newer machine:

Although some things are very similar to the original Macbook Pro, many are not.
