When are the "education" cheaper iMacs hiting the market ?

Hi there,
I'm actually planning on getting the iMac 20, but the news about the price reduction of the 17" for Students, etc. made me wet my pants out of happines.
I just checked now and in the Education store the prices are still the same.
When are the new prices for the 17" iMacs going to be available ?
Any guess about the 20" iMac getting a price reduction as well ?
That would be a heck of a x-mas gift from Mac to compete against the new Vista PCs end of the year.
Cheers! cj.

So.... then what ?
On that Link(article) is even more confusing cuz it starts saying it was pulled out... blah, blah, blah and ends saying is available through the Apple Education Store, who many here already confirmed it is not!
Are we all getting locos? or maybe Appl has its PMS and doesn't know what to do with the whole thing.
Maybe after so much interest they pulled it out and they are waiting for end of year sales to put it again and compete with the new Vista PCs...
...i know i keep up with my "Hope Apple give us a great deal by x-mas to convince us of buying a Mac and not a new Vista PC" conspiration theory.
But hey.... we all can dream, right?!

When are You guys going to have the iphone 5?

Wjosten,
After your post, and more people like this, tomorrow may be a nice day to go for a bike ride and a bad day to place a call to Apple at the end of the day.
So many people waiting at home for a free iPhone 5 delivery and at the end people calling Apple to complain that their phone did not arrive.

I have a mid 2011 27 inch iMac and a late 2012 mac mini. I am using the 27 inch iMac as the display for the mac mini. I was trying to use bootcamp on the mini but after I started downloading windows I can't get it to display on the iMac.

Hi there,
The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

I have the l latest iMac with the Lion OS. Can it be used as a secondary monitor to a PC laptop? If so, how is this accomplished?

This is called Target Display mode, unfortunately this isn't possible with a current iMac unless the PC Laptop has a Thunderbolt outpout port which I'm certain it does not. Please read both Target Display Mode Mid 2011 iMacs & if you are interested Target Display Mode 2009 & 2010 iMacs.

What web cams are compatiable with an imac on the latest software version?

Hi There
Does anyone know of a cheaper web cam than the isight? There are many different makes but i cannot find any that are compatiable with latest version of operating system.
Thanks for your help
Simon

Hi Simon,
There is this Apple Doc http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/firewirewebcamdriver.html
It lists this page http://www.ioxperts.com/devices/webcam.html
If you are going for a USB cam you will need http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/
It has a Camera list page http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html that links to drivers if the one that comes with the camera does not work.
Logitechs seem popular.

When are Apple going to sort out the Final Cut Pro X Key Frame problem

Hello,
I’m trying to move three custom text clips to different locations on the screen & change the text size. The text clips drift around between two key frames with the same values. (“linear” is set on the red wire frame movement indicator) I know you can stop the drift by going to the first key frame, move forward one frame, add a key frame, wait for the rendering to complete then delete the key frame, then move to the next key frame, go back one frame, add a key frame, wait for the rendering to complete then delete the key frame. All this takes a considerable time. Does anyone know when Apple plan to fix this Key Frame bug? Or an easier way to stop the drift between key frames?
Thanks
JohnH

Yep, I hope KFs get a little bit of love in the next update too.
To make my KFs linear, I always do the move, then drop a dummy keyframe inbetween them and add/delete that KF until the Motion path stops showing a change. Linear interpolation will follow!
Pain but quite quick!!

The 27 inch iMac and the thunderbolt display how many hertz

i want to play 3d games so i ask this question.

Please navigate on this page to Support - Tech Specs - then find the model you're interested in. That is where you will find specifications for each model.
You also need to be more specific when asking a question, 27' iMacs come in a variety of configurations with different GPUs and CPUs, RAM etc so you need to specify which iMac, which GPU and which CPU you're most interested in. Also you need to state in which OS you plan to run the games OS X or MS Windows. If you plan to run Windows then you need to specifiy how you will be loading Windows Boot Camp or virtualization.
In other words there are many factors to take into account.
You can also look at the variety of benchmark sites that test that kind of thing. Use Google to find them.

Has the education discount changed in the UK?

I was told by a friend recently that they bought a base level Macbook Pro using the Education discount and got 14% off. However, looking today, the most I got off was £30. Does any one know, has the discount changed? Or am I just not looking in the right place?!

Thanks for all the replies, I guess it is one of those quirks. I uploaded some of the images into Photoshop and the same clipping appeared in Camera Raw, thus it probably not LR Preference file corruption so I guess I didn't do the job right first time round!
Perhaps you adjusted those images with a different rendering intent, or they simply have blown highlights that aren't really recoverable. When I see something like this in LR it was usually done on purpose, but for a forgotten reason......

2.2 - When are we getting a fix for the crap update? Can I get rid of 2.2?

Ever since my phone did the update..It's a piece of crap. It goes so slow. It freezes ALL of the time. I can't open my text messages several times a day. I don't receive phone calls sometimes, while it's doing it's freezing thing. It has me force close apps over and over again, many times a day.
I've taken the phone into Verizon and they did a "reset" but that did nothing...after about 15 mins of use it was doing all of the freezing and force closing again.
Everyone is having problems since the 2.2. I can't believe more people haven't signed up for this forum on purpose to complain or try and get answers like I did.
Does ANYONE have any answers?
Can I get rid of the 2.2 and go back to how my phone was before because it worked perfectly then.
Is there an update coming to fix this update?
Should I just get a new phone? Or a different phone all together?
Is there some trick I don't know about that will fix all of this crap?
2.2 reminds me of Vista when it first came out. Nothing but bugs and problems for everyone. A totally new way cool system that wasn't perfected before forcing everyone to have it.
UGH! Help anyone?

Search the boards, everyone is NOT having issues, in fact most are not. That is why there are not a ton of messages. But they are there.I was one at one point. I personally, would do a factory reset. That was my cure all. Two if you have a task killer, delete it.
Other things to try before a reset is pull the battery out while the unit is on, wait a minute, reinsert and power up. (Basically a soft reset) Also dial and call *228 and choose option 1.
No you can not go back to 2.1, without voiding your warranty and 2.1 is not needed anyways.
If you are unsure on how to do a factory reset, (I suspect the store did a soft reset) leave a message here and someone will walk you through. IF you do teh factory reset and still have locking up issues, you will need to do a warranty exchange.

When are we (15") going to get the double click like the 17" and MacBook?

Thew new 17" and the MacBook have an option to double click by using two fingers on the trackpad. I would be EXTREMELY surprised if they used a new piece of trackpad for this. Where's our software update?
Completely unacceptable if us 15" owners are left in the dark.

Just got back from the store because this issue is
important to me.
Bitttch pleeezzzz.....
You mean to tell me that you actually went to the store because having a right click feature is "important" to you?
Now, I've seen a fair share of pathetic quotes here in these posts....but I'm not sure I've seen a more anal retentive, spoiled stoopid, "I can't get laid so I'll look for small issues to bittch about"-lame *** quote!
It used to be a pleasure to get on these posts to pick up a tip or two. Too bad people like you are bringing the content of these post down to the point where I no longer feel like reading any posts. I mean, if you have a problem, then post and someone will gladly help you. But taking the time to show the world just what kind of bittch you are only makes it harder to read posts without feeling like pile driving something to the ground. Jesus, it's not even 9am and I already feel like kicking your a s s.
If your goal was to irritate and **** off people, then you've succeded! Good job A-hole, now why don't you just die.

What should I get, the 21.5" iMac or the 15" MacBook Pro (Non-retina)?

Im 14 and I know it's a lot of money to be spent on me at my age by my parents but they don't mind getting me it. Also I'm not looking to get the MacBook Pro to show off to my friends I like it because of its probability. So maybe could you list a few pros and cons for me so I can see what one would suit me bet?
P.S. I know the iMac is cheaper but money is not a problem so don't put that down as a con for the MacBook pro please?
Thanks

"Pron" looks better bigger, so I vote for the iMac.....
Yeah, right, "I'm pure & chaste and only surf the Disney channels" my azz.....

When i press "Alt" imac runs the command "duplicate" or "copy". It interferes with work, how to fix it?

Good day!
I have this problem: when i press "Alt" my imac runs the command "duplicate" or "copy". It interferes with work, how to fix it?
Thank you.

Hi, thank you!
For example when I work in Nuke, and press "option" (for navigation), after I will release the "option", selected node will be duplicated.
The same issue, but with copying happens when I'm working in blender and hold the "option" to navigate - I see the message "copied selected objects to buffer".
Maybe it's some additions to the finder, which I could set a long time ago? In any case, how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

When are Adobe going to make it easier to deploy flash player to the enterprise????

I've been deploying flash player for well over 5 years now and in that time the deployment has only got very marginally better.
Why do they continue to allow installs just to fail when the control is in use??? I've written vbscripts to kill the handle to the ocx activex file, rename the ocx to .old which allows the installax.exe install utility to complete without errors. When Internet explorer next relaunches it uses the new control and the old one can be deleted. Why can't they incorporate this kind of logic into their installs?
Why do Adobe insist on using rubbish exe routines inside msi's that are perfectly capable of installing applications and don't just bomb out at the first sign of a difficulty? Using custom installer routines inside msi's makes it very difficult for people who have more than adequate repackaging and software deployment experience to be able to customise and get around the difficulties that Adobe forces upon us.
When are Adobe going to realise that the way they are releasing updates for flash player is costing companies a lot of money in company's helpdesk and systems team's time spent supporting and troubleshooting their buggy installs? At best I've only experienced a 95% success rate with flash player deployments. Some people might say "what am I complaining about?" and "that's to be expected". This has only been the case with weeks of work to fix the flaws in the flash player install routines. However 5% failure on 4000 machines is 200 possible help desk calls and 200 people not able to use various applications, view web content etc. Before we invested the time in scripting to get around the installer flaws the success rate was closer to 75%, that's 1000 out of 4000 that were failing. Does anyone think that's acceptable considering how widely it's used?
What has Adobe got planned for enabling large businesses to manage the deployment of flash player better? They've done it with other products why can't they do it with flash player?
For software deployment teams this is a constant and ever present headache.
Any Adobe representative want to comment???

It's ridiculous cause most website use Flash Player and none of them work on my LG 650v Smart TV.
Are discussions being held between Adobe and LG? If yes, are they close to a solution? If no, what seems to be the issue?

I recently purchased an old iMac G3 Macintosh. I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc? I've seen the newer Apple products with the dock, if I update my iMac G3, will it have that, and if so, how can I do that?

I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc?
If you mean the iMac does not have an internal optical drive capable of reading DVDs, the only option requires another Mac with a DVD-capable drive and FireWire ports. Your iMac G3 will also require FireWire ports. Not all G3 iMacs have Firewire. FW started with the Summer 2000 models with 400mHz and faster processors.
With FireWire, you can use FireWire Target Disk mode to install from a retail OS install DVD in another Mac. If you supplemental info info tells us if you have another Mac with a DVD reader and the FW ports, we can walk you through the process.
If the iMac has a tray-loading drive, I'd forget it. They are very limited not only in the OS max (10.3.9) but also in RAM capability. Starting with the slot-loading iMac G3s, the max RAM increased to 1 GB (2 X 512MB modlules). Tiger likes 1GB RAM.
Understand that pre-Intel Macs are getting harder to use. Even with 10.4.11, your choice of browsers is limited (TenFourFox is the most viable option) and the G3s rudimentary video hardware means web browsing will be choppy at best.
If you are in the USA, you can try calling the Apple Store (1-800-MY-APPLE) for an OS disk. As recently as Jan 20, someone posted here that they were able to buy Tiger by calling. It was not clear whether the disks were replacement system install/restore disks or full retail install, but it's a free call.
When you do "About this Mac" to check teh OS verion, also look at the processor speed and tell us what that says. That can help with recommendations for an upgrade path.

Planning on buying the 21.5 Imac

Planning on buying the 21.5 Imac on the 22nd, can you hook up your xbox 360?

1. I would say NO. But look at some data: http://www.macrumors.com/2009/11/14/core-i7-based-27-imac-benchmarks-show-signif icant-improvements/
And more data at http://marketingtactics.com/Speedmark/ While the exact comparison you seek is not there, you should be able to extrapolate. More data at http://www.primatelabs.ca/blog/
2. Don't spend $200 with Apple to get up to 8GB of memory. Spend 1/2 of that at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/DDR321.527
3. Buy your AppleCare from a cheaper store such as http://www.smalldog.com/applecare and save $30 USD.
4. Buy your Mac from an online reseller such http://www.macmall.com/n/Imac/macNavLinks-macNavLinks.224 and save another $50.
