What's with the brand new imac's not being able to handle 3 tracks in garage band? This is crap!

I have been so dissapointed by Lion i'm thinking about selling the brand new Imac. No Rosettta?! So i cant use Final Cut express anymore or CS3, and I don't WANT TO UPGRADE> And Even Garage band cannot play more than 3 tracks without saying there are too many? I can work better on my 2008 macbook!!!!

And Even Garage band cannot play more than 3 tracks without saying there are too many?
There must be something wrong. A brand-new iMac should really perform better.
What model did you buy (Processor, how much disk space, how much RAM)? Can it be, that your harddrive is too full with less than 15 GB of free space, or the iMac has not enough RAM? Lion needs a bit more memory than Snow did.

  • Brand new iMac does not work wirelessly

    This is a very strange situation and I don't know how much to be concerned about it.
    6 weeks ago I bought the first of two brand new iMacs. We have two old G4s both wired into a Netgear wireless router, plus the printer. The first new iMac when switched on, immediately found the Netgear and has worked perfectly, wirelessly, ever since. As it should.
    Less than a week ago I bought the second new iMac, which is identical to the first. I put it on the _same desk_ as the Netgear, therefore a distance of only one foot. Straight out of the box, it worked wirelessly to register itself with Apple.
    Since then, it has only worked wirelessly very intermittently, and then very slowly indeed. I was wasting far too much time trying to figure out why the wireless did not work, and eventually wired it into the router too.
    I was attempting to set up a network with 2 old G4s wired in, and 2 new iMacs wireless. Now I have 3 wired in and one wireless.
    Is there something wrong with the second brand new iMac? Or is there some line I should be pursuing with Netgear?
    I have written all the IP addresses down in case anyone responding - and I sure hope SOMEONE responds! - thinks that this may be a clue.
    Many thanks in advance to all and any replies.

    Update: I'm posting this in case it helps others......
    I phoned the software support which comes free for 90 days with a brand new iMac.
    The bright young man there instantly knew what the problem was, because he'd seen it all before. There's nothing wrong with the iMac and it has nothing to do with IP addresses.
    I have to go into the Netgear configuration screen and Enable MAC filtering. This means I'll give the router the hardware addresses of the two iMacs and it will then allow both of them to communicate wirelessly - but no other devices which might be lurking in the vicinity.
    Sounds good to me.

  • Does anyone maybe know why the new Macbook pros don't have iWeb and how i can install it. My Macbook already came with the iLife thing, but it seems to only have iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. is there any way that i can install iWeb?

    Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
    Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.

  • My daughter accidentally deleted her texting app off of her i-pod 4th generation.  Is there a way to get it back?  Or, is the there a way to re-install or install a new one.  The issue seems to be not being able to load a newer ios.

    Hello rkoslosky,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are not able to locate the Messages application on your daughters iPod touch (4th generation). The good news is that this application cannot be deleted or restricted. The first suggestion I have is to try and search for Messages using Spotlight to search the iPod touch for this application. If Messages is located in Spotlight, then it has probably been moved to a different page of applications or even possibly a folder of applications on the device. Searching all pages will help you locate it. 
    Search with Spotlight - Apple Support
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • ****** off with a brand new iMac already with it's address

    I gotta brand new imac and am ****** off already. All I want to do is import the Contacts from my iPad to the Address Book on the iMac and there's no way to do this. I've searched everywhere on these support forums, on the net but you can't do it. iTunes will backup my iPad but doesn't populate the Address Book either. Not impressed at all. Surely I can't be the only one with this problem? iSync will find my iPad but connects then disconnects and there's no connect button. Oh dear can anyone help please?

  • Upstart problem with my brand new Imac 27" I5

    I have just bought a brand new Imac 27" I5, and have had an 24" before, and i am so happy about the ned 27" I5 late 10.
    When i start up the new Imac i get the apple icon with the white upstart window, and the next window is blue, and than i doesn't get any further. The harddisk stop spinning, and the cooler stops, but there is just a blue screen, and the only thing to do is a hardware reset by the start up buttom.
    It starts up again, and the 3 or 4 time a can start up, and all the things works. But sometimes, when the computer goes to sleep mode, the screen fills with all kinds of colours.
    I am very unhappy about it, and hope someone can help me.
    I have tried to re install the osx, but it have not helped med
    Kindly regards
    MTP

    Call AppleCare or return it to the store for repair.

  • Brand new iMac will not boot, just make's funny "bonk" sound.

    I have a brand new iMac (Intel, 20-inch flat panel). Just out of the box. Ran through set-up wizard. Used firewire to transfer files from an old CRT iMac. All was good for about an hour.
    Tried to empty the trash. Finder says Trash was emptied, but, if I open the Trash, the 50-odd files I just deleted are still visible! If I try to select one, its icon immediately disappears. Hmmm....
    I decide it's time to restart.
    Upon restart, computer will not boot.
    I push the power button. I hear the startup chime as usual. Screen lights up gray. But no apple logo on the screen. There is a long pause. Screen remains gray. Computer then starts making a soft "bonk" sound every 4-5 seconds. (Kind of hard to describe the sound, just imagine clipping the very first fraction of a second of the normal Mac startup chime, and repeating it every couple seconds.) This continues indefinitely.
    If someone has experienced this, or has advice, please let me know your thoughts. Feeling rather bummed. Thanks in advance!!!
    iMac Intel 20-inch 2.16 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Boot from the Install Disk 1
    I cannot boot at all (see my post above). The
    machine just sits there with a blank gray screen.
    I appreciate the article link, though. I've already
    read it and it will make a great reference for the
    future, provided I can get back to a place where this
    iMac actually runs.
    Since you're new to Macs, I'm sure you don't realize that while your iMac is sitting there with only a gray screen, you can insert/push in "Install Disc 1" - and it will be accepted. Then press and hold down the power button until iMac shuts down. After waiting a few seconds until everything has settled, press power button and immediately upon hearing the usual Mac startup tone/chime/chord hold down the "c" key until you see the spinning progress indicator below the Apple logo. It will boot to the DVD, you will be able to use (from the Utilties pull-down menu) Disk Utility to "repair" the hard drive directory, then you will be able to quit the installation process, choose Startup Disk from that same Utilities pull-down, and restart your iMac:)

  • Help.. brand new Ipod 80gb not being recognised by Computer or itunes

    Replaced a ipod mini that was stolen from my house with a brand new 80gb ipod. Plugged it into the same computer that had been used successfully with the mini and the ipod will not be seen by either the computer or itunes. It will charge through the usb post no problem but when you plug it in it originally came up with the windows new hardware wizard, as apple have for some misguided reason stopped supplying CD's, the wizard can not find the correct driver, and fails to install. When Itunes is running nothing appears. I have been through the 5 R's, or should I say 4 r's as the fifth rely's on itunes recognizing the ipod before you can restore, countless time, so please unless you are sure don't ask me to click the hold button on and off yet again.
    Plugged the ipod into an old laptop with USB 1.0 ports and the ipod was recognized which would suggest it is my main comp's usb ports that are at fault, but as two previous ipod mini's worked without fault I find this hard to believe. I think if only I had the correct driver to install I could solve this problem easily. Can anyone send me the correct driver for an 80gb ipod.
    It hopefully goes without saying that I have downloaded the latest itunes software and gone through all the post's on the this site. I thought I'd cracked it with the UBSSORT file post but it was not to be....to tell you the truth if it's this complicated I'd rather send it back and buy a sony mp3 or even an ipod nano. At my wits end so please help Obi one, your my only hope

    Big Big thank you to Varun at Apple Service & Support e-mailed me the following article and after following the instructions, I'm up and running. Thank you ......

  • Is something worng with my brand new iMac?

    Ok so let me try to explain this. When connecting to the internet it seems like my mac works better wireless than it does hardwired which dosnet make sense. When its wired i have problems loading pages and and its slower. Wireless its perfect.. I also did a speed test and wireless came back at 21.06 and wired was 11.45. I think something is wrong with my mac ethernet port because of this. Now is this normal for a mac to work better wireless than wired??? I have a linksys router wrt160n if that helps. I like it wireless because of less clutter so i dont mind that, but i just want to make sure i dont have to bring my mac in for repair. Oh its also the new imac 2.93ghz

    It should definitely work better hardwired. Check out the following points. They're all I can think of at the moment:
    1. Have you tried hard-wiring from the mac to the router (not to the modem)? There may be some settings issues between the mac and modem.
    2. Are you sure you're using your wireless network when wireless? Maybe you're using someone else's internet which has a better router/etc.
    3. Turn off airport when you're wired.
    4. Your Ethernet network settings may be messed up. Go to the network system preference, make a new location, (which resets all of your network settings for that location) apply and try again.
    5. In the network system preference, make sure Ethernet is at the top. Your computer always attempts to use those higher in the list first.
    6. Try a different ethernet cable.
    7. Take a look at the ethernet ports on your mac and whatever else you plug it into. Make sure the pins aren't bent/corroded/etc.
    8. Take your imac to a different location and try internet wired. If it's slow there too, there's an issue with your system which is likely software related (reinstall mac os), but may be hardware related (take the mac back and get a replacement).

  • My brand new iMac will not power up after an update restart, any suggestions?

    Any suggestions on why my IMac will not power up after it done a restart?

    Try an SMC reset and PRAM reset: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
    If that doesn't help:
    See if it will start in Safe Boot: restart holding down the Shift key until you see a grey progress bar, type your admin password when prompted, let it continue to (hopefully) boot. Restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    If that didn't help, try booting into the Recovery HD: restart holding down Command+r and choose Disk Utility from the four choices when they appear on screen. Once DU has launched select your Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk'. If anything gets changed click on repair disk again until you get a clear pass, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    If you still have problems, give AppleCare a call.

  • I am having a persistent problems with the application tabs i pin not being saved. sometimes, they are not present when i re-open the browser.

    i have 3 sites i have repeatedly saved as an app tab. on the rare occasions i exit my browser, my pinned tabs are missing. furthermore, when i attempt to "restore previous session", the tabs that were open may be restored but the pinned tabs are ALWAYS missing and never restored.

    ''app-tabs not being saved...'''
    Be sure you close Firefox properly File (or "Firefox") > Exit not with the "x" in the upper right corner.
    Just because app-tabs will carry over from one session to another does not mean that they are fool proof or should be relied on., I keep mine in a bookmarks folder and replenish app-tabs from there when needed. It is also nice to have the "Tab Handler" to work with tabs and change all or a selection of tabs to app-tabs at once.
