I have just tried to link my imac (2007) to my HDTV via HDMI. As mini DVI port won't carry audio I've used a separate phono to RCA stereo cable as well. Mirroring is fine but still no audio.

I just purchased a Seagate "GoFlex Desk" 2 TB External Drive. It is recognized just fine in my MacBook Pro (Early 2011). When I plug it into my Intel iMac (2009?), it is not recognized. Both machines are running Lion. The box says the disk is "USB 3.0 + USB 2.0". I tried an iMac USB port that is functioning fine with another USB 2 drive. Â

I have just recently bought the Mid 2011 IMac. I put in a DVD disc into the side slot, and my IMac did not even recognize that it was in there. Now it is stuck in the slot and won't come out. I have tried the Eject button on ITunes, and the Disk Utility Eject won't work since it does not recognize that there is a disc in there. I can't drag the disc to the trash can either because it doesn't show up on my Desktop. Also, the Terminal Eject won't work either.

Just bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 but am truly unable to get my iMac to 'see' the phone when connected via USB.
I'd really like to sync itunes to the phone. I've tried using the app Easy Phone Sync but no joy with that either.Â

I own an Imac with Leopard 10.5 (NOT Snow Leopard)... Â
Yesterday - I re-installed the 2 disks to try to clean up a bit the system.. (I've own the computer for 3 or 4 years, and I think it kinda needed it...)Â
It installed (took 2 hours) and all seemed well until - I went to log in.. I put in my pw (same pw since I bought the Imac) and it wont recognize it?
It wont recognize the master pw either.. What can I do - I live very far (200km) from an Apple store...Â

I just blew out my old tiny keyboard that came with my iMac. I went out today and bought a new full sized keyboard from Best Buy with the alphanumeric keys. I followed the instructions which read:  Setting up your keyboardPlug the USB cable from your keyboard into an available USB port on your MacChoose Apple>Software Update from the menu bar and follow the onscreen instructions.When installation is complete and you've restarted you Mac, use Software Update again to make sure all of the available updates are installed.Â
I followed these instructions, and the best that I got told is that my iTunes was out of date, which I updated. My keynboard is working (obviously, I was able to post this), but it isn't recognizing the new placement of the volume buttons and such. Â

I inserted a DVD-R into my iMac (which I know contains pictures, viewed on PC) but it only recognizes the disk as being blank. My machine responds exactly as I assign it to when a blank disk is inserted so I'm assuming the problem is not with my iMac but rather the format of the disk. I do not know which platform the disk was created with nor the type of machine. However, as I stated, I do know for a fact that this disk contains photos as Ive viewed them on a PC.

My son called and said his wi-fi stopped working. His internet connection is good and he can connect directly to the router and get a connection, however, he needs the wi-fi. He has powered down the IMAC,router, modem with no luck. Under network preferences it says not connected, with yellow light. No network IP address for the router as I assume it cannot find it. He is running OS X 10.6

My external hard drive (Iomega powered 1TB hard drive) that I had as the Time Machine target recently filled up - I have 500GB on 1TB iMac - yet TM showed 999GB. I removed this hard drive and installed a WD USB powered 1TB and this keeps disconnecting - suspect by iMac. TM on System Preferences will not allow me to select the hard drive - I have to remove and reconnect the USB lead to allow the iMac to see it

I have a PNY 8gb Attache thumb drive that is not recognized by my 2010 27" I7 iMac. It does not show on the desktop, disk utility, finder or system profile. However, this thumb drive works on my MacBook, 2006 24" iMac and a Dell laptop running XP.  I have 4 other drives (1-4gb) that work on all of our computers. Currently running Lion @ 10.7.3 but this problem existed on SL @ 10.6.8 also.  I have tried this drive as a FAT-32 and Mac OS journaled and the 27" still will not recognize the drive.Â
