When will i5 and i7 Quad Core iMacs actually be shipped?

I ordered the new iMac 27" Quad Core i7 yesterday. I am so excited to start using it in place of my iMac G5. My order says it will be shipped in "November" but the new optional Apple Remote is showing as being shipped "November 23" (is that a hint?) Does anyone have a clearer understanding of the likely ship date for the Quad Care iMacs. I am guessing that the delay is due to Apple not yet having a supply of these particular i5 & i7 Intel chips, are they being used currently in any other Macs? I don't think so. If you have any thoughts/info, I'd love to here from you.

Since order an i7 Quad iMac, I've checked this discussion board several times a day, and other such postings several times a day. I'm glad we are able to share our excitement about getting these new iMacs up and running at home. Apple itself has been silent beyond the "November" ship date, I would think they should be getting a bit more specific in a day or two. The most hopeful sign I see is that Best Buy Canada Online is still stating est. ship date Nov. 3rd. I assume they mean Nov 3rd 2009. I am not a big fan of Best Buy, but I was able to buy my Canon 5D Mark II camera from one of their retail store in NYC, when nobody else had them in stock. This great camera is still hard to find in retail stores. Thanks for everyone's posts on the Quad's shipping date, at least we know we are not alone in the wait and anticipation!

VIDEO IN on new Quad Core iMac?

Hello FOlks.
I have a Digital Night Vision Monocular I need to connect video in on my Quad Core iMac.
Can anyone tell me WHICH CABLE is the cheapest and best for this?
I need a standard video like from a camcorder plug, I've seen converters with multiple video input sources even.
I already read discussions about it, I just need to know WHICH MODELS work with the new video input feature of the newest iMac's like mine.
thanks

Your topic subject line says "VIDEO OUT on new Quad Core iMac."
You will not be able to use RCA input (or any other composite input such as S-Video) on the new 27-inch iMac's Mini DisplayPort. The only input that works there is DisplayPort, which can be from regular DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort output. There are some costly adapters that convert DVI to DisplayPort, but I do not know of any other type. One issue is going probably going from an analog signal to digital.
You may instead find success using a USB video input interface device. The most popular are by Miglia and Elgato. Such devices usually come with software that allows you to display and capture video input from various sources.

Quad Core iMac Delivery - Australia

Anyone in Australia got a quad core iMAC??
When was it ordered?
ordered mine on 05/11... no update

I was told today my Imac would not be delivered until the end of January today. I was told 3 - 4 weeks from when I ordered it in October, it has now been 7 weeks and by the time I get it, 15 weeks, over 3 months.
Apple advertise on the web site 7 - 10 business days. I was told even if I ordered a non Quad core I would not get it to the end of January.
I ordered through David Jones with an apple rep. Seems to me if you order online you get your mac and if you order with a reseller you get screwed up the ....
The web site still says 7-10 days, apple suck.
How can you expect someone to wait 3 1/2 months for a computer.

When are the faster i7 quad core (2.7ghz) chips going to ship in the MacBook Pros, Intel announced them over a month ago. Trying to make a buying decision.

We can't speculate, when it appears it will appear.
Are these mobile processors? Because that will answer your question right there.

Is there anyway to add a 3rd display to the quad core iMac 27?

Is there anyway to add a 3rd display to the quad core iMac 27? I know a 2nd can be added using the mini port.. but curious to see if there is a solution to add a 3rd if desired.
Thanks!

As Sherman says, the only way to add a 3rd display to an iMac or MacBook is to use a USB to DVI adapter. I've been using the Gefen adapter for a year or so now with my MacBook Pro and it works great:
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=4517
But USB does not have a lot of bandwidth, so you can't use it for video, games and other similar stuff. Works great for Mail, web browsing, iWork, etc.

Quad Core iMac vs. Quad Core Mac Pro?

My old Dual 2.5Ghz PowerMac had a coolant leak and Apple is replacing it with a Quad Core 2.66Ghz Mac Pro with 8 gigs of ram and 1 terabyte hd. Is the new Quad Core iMac a more powerful computer? 2.66Ghz vs. 2.66Ghz - NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 vs. ATI Radeon HD 4850? I'm thinking about not even opening the Mac Pro and putting it and my 24" Dell monitor on eBay. Help!

The iMac still has no PCI Express slots and is limited in the RAM upgrade versatility compared to the Mac Pro. Furthermore with only a single Firewire port, uncompressed video capture to a fast hard drive has to take place to a separate partition of the internal hard drive to ensure uninterrupted capture. On the hand it has an infrared port for the remote that the Mac Pro doesn't have, and an SD slot. The SD slot is good for still digital camera media, if you have an SD compatible camera, and it is good for "sneakernet" of data to other machines with SD slots or SD camera adapters. Many printers have these slots nowadays too. A bootable backup can be made to an SD card.
PCI Express offers SATA cards, and Fiberoptic connector cards for faster hard drive connectivity, as well as faster networking, and faster video and audio interface cards than can be found via Firewire and USB.
Also the Mac Pro can have up to 4 internal SATA hard drives.
So the question is, are you going to miss the expansion capabilities, or not? That should be the deciding factor.

My new Quad Core iMac Not Getting Along With LG External.

I just got a new Quad Core iMac. It's great, except for one this:
My LG Flatron W1953T insists on a 1360 x 768 resolution. Unfortunately, the Displays control panel does not offer that as an option. The closes is 1280 x 768, which means I have a stretched image, which does not work for reading or looking at photos. The LG does not allow me to change its resolution.
How do I get my way-cool new iMac to offer 1360 x 768 as an output?
Thanks!

What Adapter are you using, Mini DisplayPort to DVI or VGA?
Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
Cause my LG Flatron 2253T using an Apple DVI adapter gets, well see for yourself....

When will Lightroom and Elements support the Nikon D600?

When will Lightroom and Elements support the Nikon D600? In the meantime is there a workaround so the D600 raw files can be exported to Lightroom or am I simply out of business until Adobe develops the needed patch?
As best as I have been able to figure out I may as well rebox the 600 and go back to my older, supported camera, until whenever.

A: What were you using before your precious D600 showed up today.
A D90 with good glass.
Nikon 70-200 f2.8, Nikon 24-70 f2.8, Voigtlander 58 f1.4, Tokina 11-16 f2.8.
Now I need to get a good FF wide solution for the D600.
Trigger on the D600 is much more stiff than my D90 so I'm having to press down a bit harder to get the AF confirmation. Just need to get used to that I guess.
FYI, JPG files right out of the camera are looking good.
B: Don’t you think Adobe wants to sell you the next generation product/upgrade to accommodate all of our insatiable photographic pursuits???
I had been using Apple's Aperture and switched to Lightroom a couple of months ago. I thought the price was actually quite fair for the power of the LR software. I did have to updgrade my computer's RAM....
C: Have a nice glass of wine tonight and enjoy your $2K investment. I’m personally looking forward to savoring a next generation photographic paradigm.
We did enjoy some vino last night! I was thinking I would possibly jump ship to Sony A99 and just switch to all Zeiss glass with autofocus, but I'm not convinced that the EVF is for me, and I'm really not a video shooter, mostly just landscape and real estate. Also, I the Sony turned out to be priced a bit too high for me personally in comparision to the D600.
Buenos Dias!

When will airplay be available for other iMac?

My i7 2010 iMac can't run AirPlay yet. When will this become available for the rest of us??

when will airplay be available for other iMac?
Probably never.
Airplay mirroring is only available on these models:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
It will presumably become available on future Mac releases. For everyone else, there's the third-party, AirParrot.

When will ink and slide be avail in Canada?

When will ink and slide be available in Canada? Is there anyway to buy in US and make it work in Canada?

Hi Lindsylulu,
When going here: Digital pen, stylus and digital ruler | Adobe Ink & Slide and clicking the Buy Now button it shows as being available in the US, Canada, and Japan.
So it should be available in Canada now.

When will Leopard and CS3 be compatible?

The Adobe Creative Suite forum for Macintosh has this question posted - as you might imagine, it's very close to the top of that forum's list of threads.
In the thread "When will Leopard and CS3 be compatible?" the Adobe Tech Rep Dov Isaacs, Principal Scientist, Publishing Technologies & Services Group, Adobe Systems Inc., says that the only solution is to wait for Apple to fix Leopard possibly via 10.5.3 or, wait until 10.6. He recommends that Tiger users who need CS3 not upgrade to Leopard until Apple makes their new operating system compatible with CS3. He says that there are no work-around's now or planned by Adobe.
So when will Apple address this - anyone know?

That link is out of date (although it is the most current "official" info on Adobe's web site.)
In the discussion referred to by the OP, an Adobe rep (cited above) says that the last update to Acrobat fixed its main issues (that the leopardsupport.pdf says is needed). So, according to the PDF, all should now be well and good.
He also says in other posts, more or less, that 1) CS3 doesn't work properly under Leopard; 2) It's Apple's fault for breaking apps and releasing a "buggy" OS; 3) it may be fixed in 10.5.3 but don't hold your breath, they hope it's fixed in 10.6!
I use CS3...Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat...and haven't had any issues. I don't depend on them to make a living, though.
Reading the thread on the Adobe web site, I get the feeling that there is quite a bit of dissatisfaction with the OS X version of CS3 vis-a-vis Leopard, and at least one very senior Adobe guy is very publicly trashing Apple for it.
And people wonder why Apple doesn't comment for the record on pending fixes/releases/etc...

Give it to me straight -- Can the new Quad Core iMac run Maya well?

Hey all, I've been hunting around the interwebs for reviews of the new 27 inch quad core machine and I'm having a heck of a time tracking down specifics regarding iMacs and their ability to run Maya, After Effects, other adobe programs, etc.
I'm a student right now, going on four years. I own a small graphic design/animation business and I'm afraid my poor little Macbook Pro is going to keel over on me any day now. I've noticed a drop in performance in the last six months, especially with Maya and After Effects. So I've been evaluating options, and I know it has to run OSX. Windows has only given me headaches in regards to Maya work. In short, it's gonna be a Mac.
I've priced out a Mac Pro, and I'd rather not spend 3 grand on a machine that doesn't have a monitor, and may have properties that I'm paying for that I don't necessarily need: monstrous expandability, server capabilities, a big-stinking CPU footprint. But the mantra I always hear is "Only pro models can run Maya". So I reluctantly began putting away money for a new Mac Pro, uncertain if I'd be able to afford the software to go with it. Then I read this article:
http://gizmodo.com/5411073/why-its-gotten-straight-stupid-to-buy-a-mac-pro
In my mind, this article couldn't be more perfect for my position. It's telling me, "These high end iMacs are almost as powerful as the Mac Pro you can't afford. You can save a thousand bucks off the base computer. It comes with a monitor that you don't have to pay for. " But unfortunately the one question I need answered, that I'm having a heckuva time tracking down is "Can the stinking thing run Maya or can't it?" And if it can, will it be crippled?
So, please, anyone out there, can the new monster iMac run Maya, and if it can, does it suck at it?

No, there's no way to talk to Apple technical support via email, and they probably could not or would not be able to answer any questions about performance with third-party products. I doubt that more than a handful of Apple employees, sales rep or tech, would have access to any benchmark data on Maya with any model of Mac, and those Apple people would probably be those working with the Pro VAR channel or directly with large production companies.
I just got off the phone with an Apple sales associate who emphatically confirmed that the i7 iMac can run "all that Adobe stuff", but she'd never heard of Maya.... fun....
Not terribly surprising; Maya is pretty specialized and the Apple Store phone reps are generalists working mostly with consumers. Most people running Maya would be working with an Apple VAR or would otherwise have access to specialists. You might try talking to an Apple Pro Video/Film VAR - there are a number around the country though none in Salt Lake, apparently - or asking in the Autodesk forums:
http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/
If you search for "iMac", you'll find some comments, though none I can find yet regarding performance with the new iMac models. But if you post asking if anyone has experience with Maya on the i7, you might get useful responses.
Regards.
P.S.
And on top of that I can't buy a 27 inch display separately
Well, you can, and they're not terribly expensive; under $400.00. But that might be more than your budget could accept, which may be what you meant. I'd elect a smaller primary monitor and go with two displays in any case, even with an iMac. I find it much better for workflow to have a monitor for the primary canvas and a separate one for tool palettes, etc.

Lexmark and new quad core

Maybe this will sound like a strange questions but:
Has anyone successfully installed drivers for Lexmark 1400 series printers on their new MacPro? Specifically mine is a quad core 2.66 and I cannot get the installer to successfully install the drivers. My case has been elevated to the highest level of tech support at Lexmark and I am awaiting a reply. I'm just curious if anyone else has had an issue and maybe what your solution ended up being if any.
I know, I'm probably the only person to connect such a cheap printer to such a nice computer.
Thanks for any responses.

Trying a new or different set of vga cables, or try choosing Detect Displays from the Displays preferences menu in the top main menu or System Preferences, can reset the display state so it doesn't read as generic VGA display (ie, 800x600 thus unsupported)
1.3 Ghz AlBook // DP2.5 G5 // Mac OS X (10.4.6)

This is cute but will it support the Quad Core single cpu Core 2 Extreme ??

Any idea if the 2006 Q4 Quad Core 2 extreme will be supported.
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/08/17/intelextreme_roadmap_aug06/
Also is there a way of getting drivers for the 7900gtx / G71/G72 or better to run on MAC PRO as my Dell's E1705 has 7800gtx and the other E1705 has 7900gtx 512mb and I need a bit more power ???
Will the power supply handle 2 /4 7950 gx2 ???
http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_7950.html
I am NOT much interested in the G70 / 7800gtx / fx4500 quadro as my old laptop has that in it already.
Any help will be nice.

No… the Core 2 Extreme Edition is based on the Conroe processor, rather than the Woodcrest, which does not support 1.33GHz bus nor multiple processor configurations.

When will i5 and i7 Quad Core iMacs actually be shipped?
