What size UPS for the 5K iMac?

Frequent power cuts here - only a few minutes long - need a UPS to allow me time to power down properly. What's the power requirements of the 5K iMac (looking to buy one before New Year) and need a suitable UPS for safety.

Almost any UPS will be suitable. I have the APC Back-UPS 750 which comfortably provides 35 to 40 minutes of operation for my 21" iMac plus its external backup disk drive, so it should meet your requirements.
You do not need to install any software. Just connect APC's supplied USB cable to your Mac. OS X already includes all the USB communication required for a UPS.
Consider Cyberpower UPSs also. I do not have one of theirs but they appear to be worthy competitors for APC. Don't be too concerned about "pure sine wave" products for computer equipment - it's unnecessary.

  • I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?

    I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?  I had previously read that you only need a plug convertor (three prong to two prong).  But I'm terrified that my iMac will blow up if I only use a plug convertor and not some sort of voltage convertor (Transformer).

    I'm not really hardware tech savy - is it easy to pop out the UK power cable and plug in the US power cable? Or do I need to get someone like an iMac support guy to do this? And because of the voltage difference, is there something built into the iMac that takes care of the voltage difference for me?  Thanks!!

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

    I'd like your suggestions for the best one and reasonable price...not necessarily the cheapest oine, but not a rip off too!

    Do you have home owners insurance?  I believe most policies will cover computers or allow you to add it at some additional cost.

    What is new for the Lumia 620 in the black update ?

    It seems Lumia 620 doesn't benefit the "double tap to wake", other than that all announced apps and features will be available. I advise to check also some great beta apps from Nokia Beta Labs, kudos to the guys developing these.

  • Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    You should look for an Epson Stylus Color 740 or the higher-end 900 or 980, which are about 12 years old now.  All have USB connectivity, and while the 900/980 is a better/faster printer, it's harder to find the ink tanks for it at the usual office supply stores.  Ink tanks for the 740 series seem to be more readily available, without a special order.  There were Mac versions of these printers (the 740i and 900i), with blue/ice housings that were color-keyed to match the fruit-colored "blueberry" iMac and Blue & White G3 mini-tower.  There was no Epson printer that was color-keyed to the original Bondi Blue iMacs.

  • What to use for the events of 2 keys pressed simultaneously?

    Question:
    What to use for the events of 2 keys pressed simultaneously? As the key listener has limited functionality, in this case, I need something that can act to two events (see below)
    Goal
    1. A user presses right and up at the same time
    2. Program responds to this event changing BOTH the vertical and horizontal speeds of the player
    Problem
    I currently have a key listener to do this, using key pressed, however, it only acts to up OR right at one point in time. So the user can only increase his or her vertical speed; or horizontal speed at one point in time. Instead of increasing them both.
    Example
    Here is an example of the game: http://www.kongregate.com/games/MINDistortion/bubbles-2

    I don't know whether there's a better way (or whether this will work as expected), but I would try setting a boolean flag on keyPressed and reset the flag on keyReleased, for each key of interest. To compute the x / y movements, I would check the state of all flags.
    dbI was thinking about your answer a few nights ago. And I was like, wait... it works! I thought, at first (as I replied before) that it wouldn't work, but I refract what I said. Its actually a very simple solution. And I apologize for questioning your solution previously. Thanks so much!
    P.S. I tested it out. Works like a charm.
    -Create booleans to handle each key
    -Set to true on press
    -Set to false on release
    -Check and update in separate thread accordingly

  • Hey (: I have the new iPad and I want to ask what is "healthier" for the battery : turn the device off in the night or keep it on during the night ? Thank you !

    Hey (: I have the new iPad and I want to ask what is "healthier" for the battery : turn the device off in the night or keep it on during the night ? Thank you !

    BTW, statements like
    "Use the device until the battery has drained to the point of self-shutdown. Basically, use it until it turns itself off."
    in articles like the one at http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/ are complete BS and if you do follow their "advice", your battery life will be severely hampered. Particularly if you also follow one of the comments: "Step One.One: Leave the device for 5+ hours before start charging. This will fully drain the battery." Well, the guy that advised the latter certanly doesn't know anyhting about lithium batteries and the damage deep discharging does to them.
    Again, what the article (and the above-cited comment) advices is complete b*llsh*t and noone should really do this.

  • What is the usable screen size for the latest imacs ?

    What is the size of the usable area on the latest Imacs ?

    Not sure if this is the info you are after, but the iMac 27" diagonal measure works out as (approx) 23.5"W x 13.25"D - all the screen is usable, minus the menu bar across the top.
    (These measurements are only about the viewable image area, not the dimensions of the iMac itself).
