Xp on imac 20 duo

I rec'd my new imac 20 duo yesterday and today installed win xp. Everything so far went and working well with 2 minor problems. First when I am in win xp my number keys on the right side on usb keyboard are not working however in mac os they work ok. The other is everytime win xp opens I receive a message asking for bluetooth needs drivers as I assume that the blutooth is trying to turn on. On the mac os side when I go to Apple menu & click sleep it sleeps for a few seconds & then comes back on. I will try to work on this one. At this point I am very happy that I have this unit. Any help will be appreciated. Jim Johhnston

Jim - how about looking back at your first post on the forums and marking it as answered (which it obviously was) based on your success with dual booting. People will be much more inclined to offer help on this topic if they know that you acknowledge the help you have received previously.
Now an answer - in OS X - go to your Apple>System Preferences>Energy Saver. You can set your screensaver preferences from there. Also go to your Apple>System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver panel. A few adjustments available there as well.

  • Using imac duo as display

    Hi,
    i have a PS2 video game console. I was wondering what was needed (if possible) to use the iMac duo as a display for my PS2. Basically, becomes a t.v.???

  • How can I get my Appleworks/Clarisworks Docs into my iMac Duo

    I just came home from the Apple store with a brand new iMac Duo 2 Core machine. I was told at the store that any of my stuff in Classic mode is history and can't be used on the new iMac but I know that someone out there has figured a way to get Clarisworks/Apleworks documents in a new Intel Mac and are at this moment working with their docs. Please let me know how you did it.
    Thanks Chris.

    Welcome to the iMac Intel forum.
    I would ask the question in the Appleworks forum.
    However, if your old Mac runs OS X, get Appleworks 6.2.9 and save all your files in the OS X version. Then install 6.2.9 on the Intel and transfer the files.

  • IMac Duo shuts down when trying to encode a DVD for burning.

    Last night my Imac Duo 17" with one GB of memory shut down and wouldn't eject a DVD after encoding and burning a DVD with iDVD. The upper LEFT hand corner of the iMac was very hot to the touch. I checked the temperature with CoreDuoTemp before it shut down and it read 170 degrees F.
    On restart...all I got was a white screen...without the ability to get a startup screen or eject the DVD.
    This morning...after leaving the machine on for about five minutes...the DVD ejected itself and I got a startup screen. Now everything seems to be working fine. It seems to me that the machine shut down because of the heat.
    I reported this to Apple and they said that even if I had applecare they couldn't do anything without a specific hardware issue to report and probably wouldn't repair it. They said that overheating and shutting down wasn't enough to request a repair. That the machine was too hot to touch in the upper left hand corner didn't seem to concern them.
    This makes me wonder if it's worth getting Applecare? What has happened to Apple that an overheating problem doesn't merit a repair or replacement of a two month old iMac?
    Does the machine have to actually start on fire before they will do anything about it?

  • Connecting a new iMac duo and iMac DVD SE

    I've just bought a new iMac duo and would like to find out how to connect my old iMac DVD SE wirelessly. I phoned the local apple store and they were totally unhelpful and told me I can no longer buy an airport card for my old imac and could provide me with no alternative solution.
    I have upgraded my broadband to the BT Home Hub and would like to connect the 2 macs to the internet and possibly share a printer.
    I'd appreciate any advice on where to start with this.

    Hello, 
    Option 1. According to BT's site the Home Hub has two Ethernet ports. If you have the luxury you could move teh hub next to the iMac DV and connect it with the supplied Ethernet Cable.
    Option 2. Ethernet over mains. Not wireless, but uses your home mains wiring to transfer data (at 85Mbps it's much faster than Airport) so you won't have wires trailing around the home.
    Option 3. Wireless Ethernet Bridge these are widely available and convert and Ethernet connection to a WiFi/Airport one.
    Option 4. USB based adaptors are limited to 12Mbps (USB1.1 speed) and have generally poor support on the Mac.
    Option 5. Airport cards are regularly available (with the required iMac DV adaptors) on eBay.co.uk but they demand a high price.
    Hope that helps.

  • Sleep problem with iMac Duo Core

    I purchased this 20" iMac Duo Core five days ago. Whenever the iMac enter sleep mode with pulsating indicator light below the screen, waking up the iMac always cause complete reboot of iMac. Is this a known issue with 20" iMac Core Duo or there is some problems in configuration under System Preferences ? The SMC firmware was updated from version 1.1f2 to 1.1f5 for installing Windows XP through Boot Camp Assistant in a NTFS disk partition.

    Thank you for the useful lead. The problem has been resolved by executing System Management Controller (SMC) reset procedure outlined in support site. Further monitoring on behaviour of the SMC is required. Hopefully this power management problem is not as big as with first generation iMac G5 I used to own. No idea whether latest SMC firmware update released by Apple resolve this problem though I have applied the update for Windows installation through Boot Camp.

  • IMac Duo will not stream Quicktime behind my router.

    Just bought a new iMac Duo it will not stream QT behind my Linksys router. Now I know this is a bug in QT and a port not being open for this new version of QT on the Duo because all other Macs I have work fine.
    If I move the iMac Duo to a DMZ zone it will stream just fine.
    Now what UDP or TCP port range do I need to open for this iMac Duo version of QT 7.0.4 to stream properly ?????
    Thank you for your help.

    Does this affect the system even without the firewall turned on? I don't have the firewall enabled (at least I think it is off - bear with me as this is my first Mac I noticed that neither the HTTP (port 80) nor UDP (port 554) work for my iMac, although my wife's iBook G4 and my other PC, an Athlon64 Windows XP box, play streaming Quicktime flawlessly over HTTP behind my NetGear DSL router. My iMac fails with connection error -5420.
    All things considered, since I am a recent Mac owner (only had the thing for a about a week) and it is my first, I am very happy. I am just a bit disappointed in Apple for a problem like this since media technologies are their bread and butter.
    Any more thoughts are certainly welcome.
    Thanks,

  • Imac Duo Slow

    I have a Imac Duo 17" 2GB ram. I run photoshop, dreamweaver, parallels, safari, entourage, and sometimes excel at the same time. When switching between programs, my computer is so slow and sluggish. Yes, this is my first mac. I checked my activity monitor and there isnt anything eating the CPU, i also repaired disk permissions, its still so slow. Ran a bencmark score was 104.17. What also concerns me is i have another imac duo with 1gb and it scored 113.12 (how is that possible) the benchmark was ran on both machines with no other programs running. The mac with 1gb seems twice as fast, but i dont have any other programs installed on the 1gb. What do i have to do to speed up the 2gb machine (its only 1 month old)
    Imac Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Welcome to the discussions!
    There is no way that there should be that much of a difference in the machines, but for some reason there is.
    I assume that the 2GB of RAM show in the system profileer. If not, well...
    Have you tried running Memtest on both of them? Sometimes bad RAM may not show itself through crashes and such, and manifest itself in poor performance.
    When you updated your OS to 10.4.7, do you use the combo updater or the delta update offered through software update? Is all your firmware and software up to date?
    If not, make sure they are and then try running the combo updater. Backup your data, download the update and then unplug all USB and FireWire devices besides the keyboard and mouse, then repair permissions before and after applying the update.
    Give it a try and see what happens.

  • Imac duo hard drive partition

    I have my new imac 20 duo arriving tomorrow & plan on installing windows. This is my first mac in 12 years and I intend to partition the hard drive to 30 gigs for windows xp. I only want to use the pc for photoshop cs2 and ms office and a few other pc programs but not to access the internet except for updates. On the 30gig pc side is it better to use fat32 or nfts?? Since I have these programs I hate to scrap them. Any ideas will be appreciated. Jim Johnston

    That should be more than enough. I have a laptop at work, with notes, Oracle Developer Tools, and a number of other programs, all on a 15 GB partition. Just make sure you don't want anything else. Once you create the partition, there is no way to change it with out wiping it out.

  • IMac Duo friezes during dialup

    Thanks

    Have you tried just sleeping it at night?
    It appears to be graphic card related.
    Have you blown the dust out lately?
    Thanks very much for answering.
    Sleeping the iMac at night would work, I'm sure, since it's only on a cold restart that the unplanned restart occurs. Not as satisfying as curing the issue, though.
    Apple Hardware Test reported nothing wrong with the graphic card, but the computer is not cold by the time the test is run, so I guess that could still be it.
    I'm sure there is dust inside after three + years. Apple didn't really want me to open up my iMac, but this Core 2 Duo model can be opened by lifting off the glass with suction cups, I believe. Maybe I will do that and dust, and see if that helps. There might even be something I can reseat.
    Also, I believe that on my next cold startup I will try single user mode and see if that prevents the restart.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • 24"imac duo core

    I bought an imac almost a year ago. well it was nice worked well.. one thing the basee kinda rocked. so i thought nothing of it.one day i get home and my imac is laying on the floor screen shattered lcd shattered,glass everywhere, I am disabled and cant afford to pay all at one to get a new screen, what do i do?i have bad medical credit so a card is out?lemme know what ya think?I am on Social security and I'm 32

    The base rocked? It should have been on a stable source of some sort like a desk?
    You might be able to get some advice from a nearby Apple Macintosh User Group. Here's a link to the locations:http://www.apple.com/usergroups/find/
    Are you near any of these locations? http://appleusergroups.com/locator/find/locate.cgi?zipcode=93230&Submit=Search zip code 93230 ??
    Mac User Groups are awesome for getting help. If I can think of any other sources I'll post back.

  • Synchronizing Iphoto Libraries between Powerbook and Imac Duo Core....

    I'm sure there must be a simple answer to this, but I have a Powerbook Laptop I've used for the past year as a primary computer, but recently added a Imac as my main computer at home and using my laptop more for travel / work. I'm trying to figure out how to "synchronize" all my Iphoto files (images) and also Itunes libraries. Not trying to do anything illegal (photo/music) wise....just not have to have two different photo/music groups on each computer. I was able to load the library from the laptop when I first got the IMAC....but if I add any photos on my laptop or purchase any music..... just haven't figured out how to easily sync them between the two computers. I'm sure there are others much wiser than myself who have figured this out and I ask for your words of wisdom to help an "apple newbie" overcome this minor hurdle. Thanks in advance!!

    Bill:
    You can't "synchronize" libraries because that only syncs files, not the contents of files. Doing so will corrupt both libraries.
    The only way at present to make two libraries the same is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. It will let you merge libraries while preserving keywords, comments, albums, rolls, etc. The developer's site explains it.

  • Starp up problems -Imac Duo Core

    Imac DuoCore 1.83
    Upgraded to Leopard several months ago without problems.
    Two days ago the following started:
    1. Starts up-no chime
    2. Apple logo is seen (grey)
    3. light blue screen with progress wheel-not the pinwheel)
    4. screen dims a bit, progress wheel dissappears then comes back and it does
    the same thing.
    I ran the Disk First Aide frim the CD, performed verify and repair disc.
    Came back with repaired completed.
    Restarted...but the problem persists.
    Ran the CD a few times with the same result.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks in Advance
    RL Mora
    PS
    There is nothing else attached and or installed hardware wise

    Try running the hardware diagnostics:
    How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
    Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours. If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
    Some "common" error indicators:
    SNS - sensor error
    MEM - memory error
    HDD - hard disk drive error

  • New iMac Duo Core or Newest G5 any better on Video?

    Think about buying the new G5 Duo Core processor over the current G5, I have a older G5 17" and want a new 20" to use as a music movie server in a Home Theater. I didn't see any screen issues with my model G5 that I just sold to my sister and I was in a local Apple Store and the G5 I saw, screen looked pretty **** good, no flicker or grain to the picture. In no hurry right now and I can wait awhile considering I just purchased there new MacPro Powerbook. Burning my CD using Apple Lossless, but that is for another discussion. Thanks...

    Doctor: Thanks for the input, much appreciated! Going to wait a little while till they take care of a couple of bugs that I don't want to deal with. Front Row glitch in Front Row and a few other Apps. I will wait a few months and then buy one. Besides I just bought a new Macbook Pro.
    Thanks again.

  • IMac Duo-CORE and virus'?

    I just picked up a new iMac the other day and as much as I would love to stick with just Apple software, classes will have me needing to use Window's also.
    Does simply owning this machine make me more prone to virus' because it is Window's compatible?
    Does using Window's open me up to a host of virus' found in everyday life for PC's?
    More than likely, my PC partition will be kept from internet use and use more for using products needed for class like: JCreator, Photoshop, SolidWorks, etc.
    Thanks ahead of time.
    ~Jay

    Hello,
    Just being compatible with Windows doesn't mean that you'll automatically get a virus.
    But, you do need to understand that when you are running Windows that there is absolutely no difference between your computer and any other PC running Windows.
    So, your machine is just as likely to get a Windows virus as it would be if you were running Windows on any other computer.
    Just keeping your machine off the network does not mean that it cannot get a virus. When my wife was in college the first time, she brought home viruses a couple of times just from using her disks on the college computers.
    So, if you do your homework on your machine, then take that work to a PC for work or to turn it in, and then you bring it back to your computer, you very well could get a virus if the other computer had a virus on it.
    Basically, any time you share files with another computer, you risk getting viruses from that computer (if it has one).
    So, you should still observe all the same precautions you would if you were using any other PC. That means an anti-virus program, a good firewall if it will be on the network, and any other precautions that would apply to any other PC running Windows.
    When you use Windows on your Mac, there is absolutely nothing different about the Mac. For all intents and purposes, it is a PC.
    With Mac's running on Intel processors now, the only thing that really distinguishes them now is their appearance and the fact that they will also run Mac OS X.
    But, other than that, you will find that they are just as much a PC as any other PC. They just look different and will also run Mac OS X.
    Now, Windows cannot read a Mac OS volume without special software. So, unless you have a program installed that enables Windows to read your OS X partition, then Mac OS X will remain unaffected by any Windows virus you get.
    I hope this helps.

  • Imac duo pc bios

    On my new imac 20duo pc side my system clock is showing wrong time zone ( mac side ok) and I need to go to bios setup but so far have been unable to find the right key to enter. Any help would be appreciated. Jim Johnston

    --There is no BIOS in an Intel-based Mac. They use a newer --system called Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), not BIOS.
    To be more specific on this, apple got bootcamp to work by providing a firmware update to the intel macs. They provided a CSM (compatiblity support module) to allow OS's that don't support efi to run on the hardware. Without this CSM you would have to resort to the onmac initial solution for running windows or virutalization. So, in short the intel macs don't have bios only a support mechanism to allow bios based operating systems to run.
