Which tv tuner for Imac?

Hi, i want to buy a tv tuner card that can handle both NTSC and PAL signals.
i stay in USA (NTSC or ATSC signal) and i travel frequently to UK/India (PAL signal).i bought elgato hybrid tv but its unable to handle the PAL signals properly.Can any one please suggest a TV tuner that supports all international Standards

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The Elgato EyeTV 250 (link) or the EyeTV Hybrid (link). (Elgato's web site is giving 500 errors at the moment so I've linked to reviews instead.) The Hybrid is bus-powered but uses the iMac's processor. The +250 Plus+ has it's own power supply but also it's own processor.
1GB (or even 2GB in the USA) is very cheap but here's how to decide if you really do need more RAM now (link).
cheers

WHICH ILLUSTRATOR VERSION FOR IMAC MAC OS X 10.5.8 LEOPARD?

hi there,
i have a question.
I am a proud owner of the new IMAC with leopard on it (currently 10.5.8) the current software i think.
Now i try to put Illustrator on it, well first of all i try to purchase it, which is the first stepping stone. Illu is sooo expensive!
which version would be the suitable first of all for my leopard and is there a cheaper way around???does anybody know?
i love illu and NEED IT!
thanks for any advice!!

The other alternative, which I have advocated here and on other forums, is eBay.
Contrary to what others may say or think, most software for sale on eBay is legitimate, and the few who aren't are easily spotted. eBay takes a very aggressive stance on these things which makes software sales there such a vibrant and active market.
And like Wade said, you can then get on the Upgrade path. And Adobe is very good about transfers of registration to enable you to do this. This is something I have done for years and it keeps my costs down.
Follow these guides and you won't go wrong.
1) Read this web page from Adobe: http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/antipiracy/avoid.html
and follow it!
2) You must, must, must use PayPal for all payments to cover yourself. And eBay has new protection also.
3) If the seller doesn't specifically state anything about the software or if the seller doesn't specifically state anywhere if the software is registered or not, ask the seller that and also if they will transfer ownership. If you don't get an answer before the end of the auction, don't bid! There are more sellers who will answer you. And keep a record of your correspondence by checking the button to send a copy to your e-mail account.
4) Look at how many sales the seller has done and the buyer responses and ratings. Very few or zero sales and 87% ratings are suspect.
5) Look at any pictures. If the seller took the picture himself then you have more confidence that you will get what you see than a stock photo or no photo at all. All software shown should look like commercial products, silkscreen logos and imagery on mass produced discs and not cd-rs with labels stuck on (pirate sellers usually are too smart to do that). Look at several of these and familiarize yourself with what AI CS3 and CS4 look like in bare disc form from other auctions there.
6) Use AuctionSniper to place bids at the last minute.
7) Compare prices on the versions of Adobe Ilustrator you want (CS3 or CS4). Some sellers ask ridiculous amounts for older copies of Adobe software. You shouldn't have a problem here but you could get Illustrator version 8 and an upgrade to CS3 for a combined total the is less than a full retail CS3. It depends on the market. Since you don't have a large budget do your home work and study the closing prices for the versions you want.
Follow these guidlines and you will get the software you want at a price you can afford.

Which wireless speakers for Imac and how?

I'm buying the airport express router today. I know it can stream music wirelessly to remote speakers. My question is: what are some good speakers I can buy and how do I configure them to receive the i-tunes music in my library?
Do I need powered speakers? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

Which speakers you get is subjective. There are plenty available. (I use Harmon Kardon SoundSticks II that I find pretty good for room-filling sound.) However, you do need to make sure that they are powered (or fed through an amplifier).
Plugging them into the AirPort Express should make them appear in iTunes at the bottom of the main window - look for "Computer" in a pop-up that you can change to your AirPort Express speakers.
It's pretty straightforward, but if you get stuck post back here
PS The AirPort Express handles the wireless part for you - you don't need wireless speakers.

Which dual monitor for iMac 21.5" 2010?

Hey guys,
I've had my iMac 21.5" 2010 model for a while now, but now I would like another monitor.
It must be:
-Around 21.5"
-Preffibly LED back lit
-Black and/or aluminium
-Connect to my iMac
Do any of you have any suggestions for good dual monitors. Currently I'm not looking at the Cinema displays.

Back in the mid 90s I had a 17" display that I thought was heaven but as DTP and graphics software became more powerful I decided I needed a second display but when I went looking I found my display had been discontinued. The second display was also 17" but it was about 5 inches taller. I liked it better but I found it disconcerting that they weren't vertically aligned. A couple old college text books solved the problem.
More recently I received a nice HD LCD display from my wife when she upgraded and it was maybe an inch shorter than my iMac. That didn't bother me at all. The display itself is 2" larger than my iMac and that didn't bother me either. I sometimes connect my notebook to the LCD and then the size difference does bother me so I only use mirroring with the notebook.
If the height difference bugs you, cheap out with a few books or go the classier route with a little shelf to raise the LCD. Or, find a display that has an adjustable height.

Cable/TV tuner for IMAC

Hello,
I'm looking for a product that will allow me to connect my Comcast/Xfininity cable to my imac and use it as a TV. My comcast area was "upgraded" a year or so ago, so all my TV's have a least a small "conversion" box with a remote. I'd ideally like to elimate the need to this box and connect directly to the Mac using the co-ax cable however.. I'm guessing I'll at least need to connect through the "converter".
So.... what is a good solution for this scenario. I do not need DVR capability.
Thanks!
Scott

Which bluetooth module for iMac 17" 1.8Ghz

I am trying to decide between two bluetooth modules for a 17" 1.8Ghz iMac. So far I have found part number 922-6201 and 922-6530. They look similar but I have been unable to find any explicit documentation that mentions the correct part.
Can anyone help me out?
JT
Also feel free to reach me on ichat: jasontm1

According to the information here those part numbers are interchangeable and are really the same card.
It is really odd that on that page it states:
Description
Add BlueTooth to your iMac G5 17" & 20" Mac with this Apple part.
But then does not include any iMac G5 in the compatibility information:
Compatibility
Power Mac G5, eMac (USB 2.0), iMac (17-inch Flat Panel, 1GHz), iMac (USB 2.0), Power Mac G4 (FW 800), Power Mac G5 (June 2004), Power Mac G5 (June 2004), Power Mac G5 (Late 2004), Mac mini**.

2 questions: Convert analog video AV- USB Converter; Good TV Tuner For IMac

1) I need to convert analog video tapes onto my Mac. What's a good AV to USB converter?
2) I'd like to take advantage of my 24" screen and occasionally watch TV on my Mac. What's a good TV tuner?
Thanks.

Most recommend the Canopus converter, but it is $100-200. I was curious if the analog to digital tv converters available for $10 with the $40 govt coupon would serve the same purpose. I don't know why it wouldn't, but I haven't seen one. I'm going to try to borrow from a friend and see.
Otherwise you can borrow someone's Sony Digital8 to use to play Hi8 and it works as a converter (some models don't do Hi8 playback). This worked for me, but I was afraid I would wear out the "eject' on my friends Digital8 bc I have 60 tapes to transfer.
Other option is to play on old Hi8 thru a miniDV camcorder, used as a converter. My Canon zr500 miniDv doesn't seem to have that option.
I may try to use my Presidian dvr from Radio Shack as a pass thru converter. I haven't tried it yet either, but I think it might be yet another option. If anyone knows how to do any of these, please reply. It seems the tv converter should work and I'll get one if it does.

Which CF reader for iMac'11

I just purchased a new 27" iMac. Which Compact Flash reader will work properly with SanDisk Extreme 16GB cards? Not sure of which port/company matches up w/computer.Thanks!

Well, you need to tailor the reader to the cards you are using: when I bought my Sandisk Extreme III SDHC cards, they actually came with a high speed reader - that was a good thing, because my old reader couldn't handle the speed of the new cards.
So, take a look at the cards you'll be using - there should be a small circle somewhere on the front with a number in it; the higher the number (mine are Class 6) the faster the speed, so you'll want a reader that can accommodate that.
And, as I said, I just use a USB reader - works great.

Is there a DVB-T2 compatible USB tuner for an IMAC ???

is there a DVB-T2 compatible UBS tuner for my Imac ?

Guy would this be of any help:
To start up your computer in Apple Hardware Test:
Press the power button to turn on your computer.
Press and hold the D key before the gray startup screen appears. If Apple Hardware Test does not start up, see the Additional Information section at the end of this article.
Note: Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT. An Internet-enabled connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi is required to use this feature.
It takes a minute or so for Apple Hardware Test to start up and inspect your hardware configuration. While this is taking place, an icon appears on the screen:
When the process is complete, select your language and click the right arrow. If you aren't using a mouse, you can use the up and down arrows to select a language and then press the Return key.
The Apple Hardware Test console appears. You can choose which sort of test or tests to perform:
To perform all of the basic tests, click the Test button or press the "T" key or the Return key.
To perform a more thorough diagnostic test, select the "Perform extended testing" checkbox under the Test button before you click the Test button.
Your test results will appear in the window in the bottom-right of the console.
To exit AHT, click Restart or Shut Down at the bottom of the window.

Which VGA adaptor for my Intel Core 2 Duo iMac?

Hi folks... new to this forum. I'm looking to hook up my 20" iMac to a 2nd monitor (it’s a 20” Samsung VGA).
I’m very confused... So far, I've bought 2 different adaptors (neither of which fit the iMac):
Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter (which is listed as ”suitable for iMac Intel Core Duo”)
http://store.apple.com/ie/product/M9320G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg3Ng
Apple Mini VGA to VGA adaptor (which is listed as "suitable for iMac flat screen")
http://store.apple.com/ie/product/M8639G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg4Mg
Can anybody enlighten me which adaptor I need?... my iMac is a 20” iMac Core 2 Duo & I bought it new in April 2008.
Thanks!

Perhaps is was packaged or repackaged incorrectly, because that is the correct adapter part # for the Intel iMac's including the Early 2008 model.

@I run a Windows 8.1 - Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
Ram available = 1588 MB
Range = 873 -1143 MB
Recommended Photoshop usage range = 857 however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins. They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

HT3775 I NEED I TUNES FOR A 64 BIT PC. OPERATING SYSTEM IS WINDOWS 8, NON TOUCH SCREEN. WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTELY BEST WAY TO GET ITUNES OPERATING CORRECTLY ON MY PC????//I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS, NONE OF WHICH ARE WORKING. IS ITUNES DELIBERATELY EXCLUDI

I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING
