i'm thinking of buying another LCD, and have bought LG W2453V, however, the quaility of it is not good as my iMac (when both in win7 and in Mac), so i plan to return it, but still wonder what kinda LCD panel iMac uses, i may just go get the same one.
View 5 RepliesI'm not saying you should do this, but I figured out how to upgrade the hard drive in the new iMacs to one of a different manufacturer. My i7 came with a 1TB Seagate. I now have a 2TB Hitachi in there. All I had to do to get the thermal sensor to work is cut off the part of the connector on the thermal sensor cable that didn't have wires attached to the pin outs, then fit it on to the new one. At first, the fan ran at full speed. It would start at about 2500 and slowly creep up to 5500. I just flipped the cable over and the fan runs at 1200 rpm now.

I read somewhere on the forums that someone believed the 1TB to be a Caviar Black, but I find that hard to believe, so if anyone could please check their drive info for the stock 1TB/2TB and chime in

View 4 Replies View RelatedI went a couple weeks ok with the Scanner and Image Capture. And then kaput, it doesn't work. I thought about it some and it seemed to stop working after I did Software Update on March 17th, 2012. In that update was a "Digital Camera Raw 3.1.0" update. Which makes me very suspicious. Here is the error I get when I open Image Capture: So, it recognizes the scanner but can't do anything in Image Capture or the with the scanner buttons. I ran Software Update again, just to see if there was a new updated scanner driver but nothing came up. I really want to avoid using the manufacturer's SW drivers etc.

I have what I thought was an external FW HDD made by LaCie. In checking a backup log, I noticed that my supposedly LaCie HDD is actually a Hitachi drive. Does anyone know if LaCie actually manufactures any hard drives or do they just put other drives in all their enclosures?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI own a Mac Mini and am considering a LaCie 1TB external drive, model number 301304U. It's the one designed by Neil Poulton, is a sleek black box with a blue light on the bottom. It has a USB 2.0 input and an on/off switch in the back. I'd like to know which manufacturer really made the drive inside the LaCie box. I know LaCie uses different manufacturers, but I can't find out any information anywhere about which manufacturer's drive is inside this model, or other LaCie models in general. I guess the same can be said for many other hard drive companies. Heck, even Apple uses Hitachi. That's what came inside the Mac Mini (a 120GB drive), though I now have a 320GB drive inside.

View 24 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know the screen model/manufacturer of the new mbp 15,4 inch glossy 1440 screen?The thing is that I recieved my new mbp with the high-res antiglare, and it was just awful, now I'm thinking about getting the glossy standard model, and I'd like to research the screen before I get it.
The reason why I choosed to retun my high res antiglare is that it had a red tone, the vertical viewing angle is WAY WORSE than my 2008 mbp antiglare, the screen was not centered (flush left with a 3mm black line to the right), and the resolution (1680) is simply too high for general use (but perfect for photography, graphic design etc).I normally love anti-glare screens but this one is simply not good enough, even though it's a "high-res" one.Please share your experience with the new 1440 standard-res glossy!
Would also appriciate if someone knew where to get the "old" core2duo with antiglare 1440 option, preferably on sale, since that's still a considerable machine for me!
BTW, if anyone's interested, the screen of the antiglare high-res I received was a samsung (didn't write down the model number before I shipped it back)
Saturday I called AppleCare because my 3rd party Apple Retail changed my display 3 times now.
After a while, the dude said that they would give me a new one.
Now, I dont mind the trip to Montreal to make the exchange but is that possible? Or do I have to ship it?
I will call back the Apple dude tonight but I wonder if any of you got this situation before?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am hoping someone out there would be willing to assist me by getting a dump of their system SMC keys so I can do a comparison against my system. Ideally it needs to be done on a 2008 Alu 20in iMac with SMC version 1.29f1
You need to have SMCFanControl on your system and know where the smcFanControl.app is located.
Open Terminal
cd to the directory that has the smcFanControl.app
cd smcFanControl.app/Contents/Resources
type ./smc -l
select and copy the output and save/post
exit terminal
When I start my iMAC (OS X) there is a good chance that it WILL NOT pair with my Logitech M555b (Bluetooth) mouse. It IS set to be "discoverable." The Apple mouse's trackball was a constant problem; it had to be cleaned often. Changed to the M555b and now I'm being punished by the MAC gods for my infidelity.

I've got a 2006 mac mini. I've just moved house and am trying to get it to see the local network. My ancient ibook can see the network but my mac mini can't. The network doesn't come up at all whereas I can see 5-6 with the ibook. Does the 802.11a/b/g have something to do with it? I'm really stuck
I am cleaning out my macbook from apps that i installed that did not come with the Mac before I install Snow Leopard.
Also, I don't think iMac came with adobe applications did it?
My IMac is about 1 year old. It is a 20 inch 2.4 intel iMac. It froze today the mouse wouldn't move or anything. My kids were messing around with it. So I just turned it off and back on. After a couple of minutes of gray screen a folder with a question mark flashes over and over again. So I got on my macbook to see what it meant, I found out that the iMac couldn't find its start up disk. So I went to apple support trouble shooting and it said start it up using the install disc which I did. It said go to start up utility and repair the disc. The start up disc doesn't show up, so they said if that happens reset the PRAM, which I did like 3 times, and nothing. They said if all these steps fail just reinstall using the installation disc. Which I did but when it said where would you like to install Mac OS X, you would normally see the Hard Drive Icon and it is gone, there is nothing there.
