Will the new (thin) iMacs have a VESA mount kit?
I have my current iMac mounted on the wall, on an arm. It's the perfect setup for me. Will I be able to upgrade and keep this setup?

Looking through the tech specs, I couldn't find any mention of a mount:

  • Does the new thin iMac have a cd/DVD player

    My friends say they just bought a new iMac and it has no cd/DVD player. I's this true? How do you watch a movie or download music?

    No it does not. But you can use any external DVd drive that connects by USB with it. Mosy cost around $30US.
    It does not have to be sold by or have the Apple name on it to work with any Mac, even the newest models.

  • Will the new 2012 iMac support 2 hard drives (HDD and SSD) like the 2011 iMac?

    Will the new 2012 iMac support 2 hard drives (HDD and SSD) like the 2011 iMac?

    Well, I'm not sure how anything can fit into a 5 mm depth, so I can see why they've removed the CD drive -  there probably wouldn't be enough room for the laser, LOL. Can't imagine speakers, hard drive (of any flavor), logic board and so on and so forth. Fortunately, my iMac has Applecare through early 2015 so I'm set for a while; I may check out a Mini at that point - saw that it is configurable with a fusion drive, which would make it interesting for me.

  • Will the new ipod touch have the same fitness, no shoe insert, ability that the new nano will have

    Will the new ipod touch have the same "fitness", no shoe insert needed, ability that the new nano will have?

    Yes, it acualy does, witch I found suprising.

  • Will the new 3GHz iMac (24") with GeForce 8800 be good for Aperture v2?

    hi all.
    I've just seen the specs on the new iMac and I'm interested. I was resigned to buying a Mac Pro but found it difficult to justify the cost because I'm not a professional photographer. the new iMac might be good enough at a much more justifiable cost.
    I wonder if anyone has information or opinions regarding the following.
    Will the glossy screen be a nuisance? There is stray light in our living room where I use my computer although we do have venetian blinds on both windows. (don't bother suggesting using the computer in another room. this is Hong Kong where space is scarce and expensive.)
    Will 3GHz/4GB be significantly faster than my 2GHz/2GB iMac for Aperture operations? (Aperture was not included in Apple's test comparisons)
    Will the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS card be beneficial to Aperture use?
    Will the FireWire 800 be significantly faster than the FireWire 400? on my iMac, transfers to/from my external SATA disks run at only a dismal 13MB/s rather than the ideal 40MB/s. is it my iMac's limited processor power, or a limiting factor with having only 2GB of RAM and a scad of applications open, or a problem (concerning caching) with Leopard's copying routines?
    for future reference, would the Aperture library saved on the internal SATA drive be faster than if it was saved on the external SATA drive connected via FireWire 800?
    your input and information would be appreciated (and it's probably going to be a common question).
    sincerely,
    Gregory

    My expectation (every workspace is different as are individual perceptions) is that the reflective issues of the iMac's glossy screen would be very tolerable. What many (not all) graphics pros including me find intolerable is the fact that glossy displays add contrast and saturation to images. However many, perhaps most, non-graphics-pros prefer the added contrast and saturation, which is why Apple uses those displays. Each individual must do his/her own side-by-side comparisons and determine personal preference.
    Will 3GHz/4GB be significantly faster than my 2GHz/2GB iMac for Aperture operations?
    Yes.
    Will the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS card be beneficial to Aperture use?
    I believe yes, but that is just a guess since I do not know the card well. Certainly picking an iMac for Aperture usage I would choose the top 24" with the 8800 GS card
    Will the FireWire 800 be significantly faster than the FireWire 400?
    Yes.
    ...for future reference, would the Aperture library saved on the internal SATA drive be faster than if it was saved on the external SATA drive connected via FireWire 800?
    Yes. Best IMO will be to have the AP Library on the internal drive but with Referenced Masters on external FW800 drives. The top iMac allows up to 1 TB internal drive size. Since drives slow as they fill, order a large drive and keep it less than half full to optimize operation.
    ...is it my iMac's limited processor power, or a limiting factor with having only 2GB of RAM and a scad of applications open, or a problem (concerning caching) with Leopard's copying routines?
    Pretty much everything impacts AP performance, so the more things you optimize the better. The maximum 4 GB RAM of iMacs, although quite workable, will always be limiting. Good policy is to restart or at least close as many irrelevant applications as necessary prior to an extended Aperture work session.
    Steve Weller, builder of the excellent <http://www.bagelturf.com/index.html> Aperture website, discusses speed improvements here:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1273934&tstart=75>
    If you ever do run into performance issues, work to dial in on each of the performance tweaks he discusses.
    As an aside, I too like the MBP (ideally 17" matte screen) as preferable to the iMac because of the portability. Unfortunately cost may make that an unacceptable choice, but I cannot overstate the huge benefits of portability.
    Good luck!

  • Does the new 24" iMac have an HD display?

    Basically I'm just wondering if the new display on the brand new iMac 24" is High Definition since it's the same resolution as the the 23" HD Cinema Display, and has the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO.
    Message was edited by: Gjunkie

    1080p looks great on it -- if you want to wait for the trailer to download. If it's a popular trailer, the servers just aren't going to stream it to you fast enough to make it worth your while. 720p seems to be the sweet spot for streaming trailers... If you get content elsewhere, however...

  • Will the new phones not have cameras

    I work for a company that does not allow camera phones.  I was wondering if anyone knows if BB will make non-camera phones for the new Bold or Storm?  Im holding off on upgrading to the Bold 9000 non-camera just in case they are going to release the Bold 9700 or Storm 9550 with out a camera.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Typically, since answering your question would require knowledge and revelation of forward looking proprietary information, I'm thinking that such won't be available here. It is rare indeed for companies to release such information. Industry trends appear to me, however, to be leaning further and further toward all-in-one devices, which would mean that inclusion of a camera would be likely. However, I've no crystal ball that provides me with anything to back that opinion up.
    Cheers!

  • How long will the new 2011 imacs last?

    Based on older imacs and types of precoessors how long would a new imac be expected to last

    Also depends on what you mean. Do you mean physically last or remain functionally viable? Old Macs from the '80s are still ticking along, look on eBay.
    While all manufactured products are subject to being lemons, I think it's far more likely that your machine will become "functionally obsolete" before it dies. My late-2004 iMac G5 (2GB RAM) is just now starting to show its age since some developers are starting to drop PowerPC support, but other than that it works like the day it was new.

  • Will the new baseline imac play portal 2 well?

    i have the gt640m nvidia graphics card with 512mb and 8gb ram is this sufficient

    It would be better if your contact the makers of Portal to find out what the minimum and maximum specs for best game play.
    Gamers, like yourself, tend to want very high performance in their gaming experience.
    Good gaming experience requires a fast CPU, GPU and lots of RAM. The GPU is the biggest component in a good visual gaming experience.
    My opinion, the baseline iMac model isn't going to be up to the challenge.
    You really need to ask the developers of Portal what will be a decent spec to run their game and make a choice of iMac and optional components you need to get that game to run well enough.
    Good Luck!

  • New 2009 iMacs Have 2.1 Speaker System?

    Do the new 2009 iMacs have a 2.1 speaker system like the Apple LED Cinema Display? If not, does anyone know why not? It would be weird for Apple to have advanced that design, only to stick with old technology in the new iMacs.

    Read AppleInsider's review of the Apple LED Cinema Display:
    http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/12/07/applesled_cinema_display_thereview.html&page=3
    They clearly state:
    "The LED Cinema Display uses the iMac's trick of piping sound through the bottom and bouncing it towards you. Surprisingly, though, it's actually a 2.1-channel setup with a dedicated internal subwoofer instead of the iMac's 2.0-only design. For internal speakers, they're much more appealing than those on the iMac or for most any other display saddled with often significantly underpowered stereo speakers meant only to satisfy office workers who just need enough to hear voice chats."
    However small it is, the LED Cinema Display has some sort of woofer. I was wondering if the new iMacs had one too, but I guess not.

  • Will the new 2012 27" iMac be Vesa mountable?

    Will the new 2012 27" iMac be Vesa mountable? I cannot find this on any of the specs, I hope it is.

    From what I've read online ... there is news that some companies are working on some sort of mount for the newer 2012 iMac's that would involve using the existing iMac stand in to the stand assembly (because the new 2012 iMac stands are not removable).
    Zdnet says:
    "... however, third-party companies such as ErgoMart and iMacMount.com offer adapter kits for these iMac 2012 smaller models. iMacMount offers a $79.95 kit for 17-, 20- and 21.5-inch models. The company's site says its current iMac Mount VESA Mount Adapter Kit supports the now problematic Late 2012 21.5-inch iMac
    I'm sure Vesa will take this same "mount adapter" approach eventually, for the newer 2012 iMac's.

  • Will my Apple VESA mount work with the new 27" iMac?

    Hi
    I have an alu iMac 24", model: iMac7,1
    I have the Apple VESA mount kit for it.
    I have just ordered the new 27" iMac and I'm wondering if I can use the same VESA mount for the 27" when it arrives?
    Thanks
    /Martin

    Thanks for the reply.
    I'm not sure.
    Is that the VESA mount that they have always had on the Apple Store for the 24" and now they have just added the 27" in the text, or is it a whole new VESA mount (which then is backwards compatible with the 24")?
    I tried looking for an Apple support email address to ask this, but that seems hard to find.

  • Will the new time capsule back up Windows on an iMac running Parallels Desktop?

    Will the new time capsule back up Windows on an iMac running Parallels Desktop?

    Windows home version MSBackup, cannot backup to network drives.
    That was a little bonus from Bill for those who didn't fork out for Pro or Ultimate.
    Like people with home versions would never need to backup to network drives.. oh no.. never!!
    You need to mount the hard disk in windows for it to work.
    It will help a lot if you load the airport utility for windows into your windows OS.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
    Open windows explorer and type the network address of the TC.
    \\TCname.local (where TCname is the correct network name of the TC).
    The TC should have all names that are windows compatible.. ie
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule is just wrong. It is too long, it has spaces and it has apostrophe which is illegal.
    A good name for the TC is TC
    The default hard disk share name of data is fine. It should not be Time Capsule or anything again that is over long .. has spaces or is otherwise incompatible with windows.
    A good name for the TC wifi is TCwifi
    Then you can mount it \\TC
    typing that directly into the address bar of windows explorer.
    There are still issues with windows naturally and running in parallels I have no idea what other issues might come up.
    Tell me if you have issues.. but you will need most likely to check the network.
    Open a command window and ping the TC by name and by IP address. If IP address works just mount by IP.
    \\10.0.1.1 for example .. and that is the default TC IP address when in router mode.
    If you still cannot access the TC my recommendation is to use a USB drive and use that.. it is 10x easier and more reliable than mixing Mac and windows backups on the TC.

  • 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?

    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.

  • I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

    I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere any way to connect this two mac’s anyway??

    Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system.  10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
    And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines.  Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist.  There are no Firewire to USB cables.
