Will the new iMac run MSOffice 2004?

I have been running MS Office 2004 for Mac on my Macs since, oh, around 2004. I'm completely happy with it. I don't need any new features. I know it inside and out and I don't want to learn a new version.
Will a brand new iMac run my Office 2004 software? Or will this software be obsolete on a new machine?

No, except by running it through Mac OS X Server 10.6 in emulation.

Will the new iMac run Motion 3?

I can't really afford to go to the Mac Pro. I am looking at the new iMac (24 inch, 2.8 processor model), and wondering if it will run Motion 3? I know it won't be ideal, but still I hope that it will suffice for a high-end amateur user.
I currently run Motion 2 on a Macbook, which is obviously not ideal, but at least somewhat works.

No, except by running it through Mac OS X Server 10.6 in emulation.

Will microsoft office for mac 2004 transfer from my emac running 10.4.11 to the new iMac running mountain lion using migration assistant?

will microsoft office for mac 2004 transfer from my emac running 10.4.11 to the new iMac running mountain lion using migration assistant?

Microsoft Office 2004 will not work on any Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion. You will need to upgrade to Office 2011, buy the less expensive iWork apps from the App Store or use a free office clone like OpenOffice or NeoOffice.

Will the new iMac's be able to play encrypted HD content or not?...

My first post!
I, like most people, am very impressed by the new iMac's, especially the 24" model. I would buy one today if it wasn't for one unanswered question: will the new iMac's be able to play encrypted HD content or not?...
See the following text:
"Interestingly though, neither Apple nor Nvidia would comment on whether either of the graphics chip options for the 24-inch iMac come with HDCP support enabled, which would make the iMac a viable link in HD video's copy-protected chain. HDCP support is an option for those GPUs, which makes the fact that we couldn't get an answer intriguing."
This worries me. The screen resolution is sufficient for 1080p, but it seems that I may not be able to play encrypted HD content... An upgrade to the GPU at a later date seems difficult (impossible?) too...
Any comments?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This is new to me. Where have you heard HD Encrypted content will be provided from? You can buy an Elgato EyeTV Hybrid that will allow you to watch HDTV content (i.e. Freeview HD) when it comes out properly. I thought HDCP was aimed at preventing copying of content from a HD-DVD or Blu-ray disk (I may be mistaken) - and at £550 for the cheapest desktop size drives we are still a long way off seeing one of those drives in Apple's consumer line-up.
The iMac 24" is unique in that it does have a removable graphics card. Whether any replacements ever hit the market is yet to be seen.
For future reference:

Will the new iMac support FCStudio2?

This may be a dumb question, but I did a search on the forums, and they talked about only G4s and G5s.
The Apple web site confuses me; it says "An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card" is needed, but the iMac has an "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory."
Does that mean FCStudio2 can be installed only on a G5, where you can install different graphics cards?

Hi, I have had pretty good experiences using the new iMac (2.4GHZ, 20" screen, 2GB memory, ATI 256MB videocard) with FCStudio2. Below details my experience.
Final Cut Pro: works great, everything is pretty smooth and it hasn't failed me yet (most likely you will be limited to working with DV footage however, as you can't add a standalone capture card for HD).
DVD Studio Pro: works great with no problems
Compressor: when I am doing large batch exports, it is noticeably slower than my tower (to the extent that I just do them overnight).
Motion: works fine if you work with files with a small duration; doesn't run as smooth as my tower
Soundtrack Pro: works great
Color: I've been tinkering with this program. Seems to run fine, but I am no expert in it.
Hope this helps!

Will the new imac have cd drive

I want to buy the new imac coming out in December i am worried that there wont be a cd drive can anyone help me to put my mind at ease i dont want to have a seprate one.

There is No CD/DVD Drive in the New iMacs coming in December 2012
See Here > http://www.apple.com/imac/specs/

When will the new imacs be in retail stores?

anyone know when the new core 2 duo imacs will be available in the stores?

Good luck getting the Macs you want, in the configuration you want, at the price you want. Configure to order at the Apple Online Store is less expensive than the same configuration in an Apple Store.
To give you an example, the stock 17" Core Duos came with 512 Mb of RAM. You could configure it to order online to 1 Gb RAM for US$100, as your choice of 2 x 512 Mb or 1 x 1 Gb. But if you bought the same Mac in an Apple Store you had to buy a stock 17" with it's 512 Mb RAM, and could only get a 1 Gb RAM module for US$300. So in the end you had 1.5 Gb RAM. If you wanted 2 Gb RAM in the Apple Store it was US$600, plus you also had the 512 Mb for which you had no use. But you could upgrade through the online store to 2 Gb for US$300.
Configure to order is much less expensive.

Will the New MaPro running Maveriks do a select boot from an external HD of older OSX versions?

Hi...
I was wondering if the new MacPro will do an Option selective boot of an external HD bootable backup made using SuperDuper? The drive would be a FW800 external connected via adaptor as the nMP has nonly TB and USB 3 ports.

As shipped, the new MacPro late 2103 will boot ONLY from the software it shipped with, or a re-load of the software it shipped with. Nothing older.
You may be able to install and fiddle with Virtualization software to get an older version to run under a Hypervisor, but it will be some work.

Will the new iMac be an upgrade?

I was looking to buy the 2.93GHz iMac with the 4850 graphics card; however, I currently am using a 2005 PowerMac G5 2.7GHz DP. Overall, will this be a significant upgrade? The Intel processor is, of course, a very nice plus.
Thanks!

As you mentioned, the main advantage of the Intel iMac for you will be software compatibility, especially going forward post Snow Leopard release.
I have a 2.0 GHz iMac Core 2 Duo (the last of the white iMacs) and a 2.0 GHz Power Mac G5 "dual core (the last of the Power Macs). They have comparable graphics hardware, and they perform about the same for day-to-day use, based on my observations through typical use; I did not do any timing or benchmarking. Granted, the current Intel iMacs are a fair bit faster (but I like my little cool-running 17-inch model with a big second display).
So a good plan may be to continue to use your current Power Mac for now. After Snow Leopard is released, when you would have normally upgraded, buy whatever is the latest iMac model with the graphics hardware option you want.

When will the new imacs be available

Just wondering when these are being released for sale as it is still stating November?!?!?

Note, you likely won't be able to run any older Mac OS than the machine (that's always true when a new Mac gets released). If what runs on today's current machines is important to you, get a today's machine. There are no internal optical drives on the new machines. We are just end users here, and we can't speculate on this forum the exact date, but remember, there are ten days left in November.

Will my new iMac run the next OS X 10.5?

I've just got my iMac yesterday, it is my first Apple and I love it very much.
But I am a little worried whether it will run Leopard?
It has 2Ghz dual core processor, 1GB RAM and 128 graphic card.
Thank you for your kind answer

More memory is always helpful with new OSs. It seems that cpus from Intel can be dropped in easily enough. And any new OS will eat up more disk space it seems.
I tried to get my brother to go for 1.5-2.0 GB RAM but he didn't realize Macs were so memory hungry. The sweet spot seems to be about 1.5GB. With 1GB my MacPro was constantly using 900MB and creating swap files and doing more pageouts than I wanted, cured by adding another GB of RAM.
Just be sure to do backups and make it a habit

Will the new Macbook run WoW on full settings?

Will it run it perfectly, or will it be too frustrating on full settings?
I don't see any point of getting a Macbook Pro (base model) right now just for the graphics card...
Thanks.

These forums are great, a lot better then asking GameFAQS...
(Although due to the time differences i get answers a bit quicker there, but the quality is what is important and is worth waiting a little bit longer for!)
The replies i got there consisted of "64mb shared?!? it won't even load on normal settings" "Buy a new computer, mac is trash."
Thank you for your replies.
btw, My main is Flashleet on Barthilias if by chance any of you guys play on my server :P

Can I be the first to ask Will the new iPhone run Aperture?

And will Aperture support RAW files from this new camera phone?
C'mon!! WHY NOT!!!
Sorry, could not resist

I came to the forum tonight, specifically looking for someone to ask this question; it was inevitable. LOL.
For more realistic issues:
I hope the iPhone will sync with specified Aperture albums, not just iPhoto albums.
And I wonder if someone will make an iPod adaptor (which is what the iPhone seems to use) to display 1024x768 images so you can use iPhone's photo app to display slideshows on a video projector. Or maybe I should just continue using my MacBook Pro.
