i have been wondering where the top end imac sits in relation to the rest of apples line up. for example the top end imac is far from any normal consumer needs (core 2 duo 3GHz for iphoto anyone?) but many pro's only want a macpro for working on. so where is this machine meant to be? consumer? prosumer (what ever that is)? pro?
i use my imac for video editing and motion graphics and it works like a dream.
I just got a new 1080p display that I'm also using as a secondary monitor. I want to use it as a primary monitor when I'm using my MBP, which I know how to do.
However, the applications need to be resized and positioned when you connect it. Are there any applications that can remember sizing + positioning of applications based on which display is your primary?
It'd be useful to make the display my "docking" station of sorts.
Is there any way of moving the dock maybe a quarter of an inch up from its current position? I am running Snow Leopard and the dock is positioned on the bottom.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dec 08 purchased 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 4G of 800 MHz DDR 2 SDRAM installed and lovely it is too
I note the new iMac's now use DDR3 RAM and wonder (for future reference only) if the DDR3 RAM would work in my iMac if I swapped sticks.
I suppose whilst I'm on a roll of asking a question....I may as well try another one.....
Would (again for future reference) the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB be fitable (if that was a word....which it is not) in place of my GS 8800 512.
I often find music I want to check out on zshare, but after I got my mac I havent been able to use zshare. Is it possible to make it work?

Side question, if I took out one of the 2gb ram would it work in the new Macbook Pro's?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI worried about getting windows 7, I have been reading the forums, and I keep seeing that if I run windows through boot camp to use the full power (for games) I need one licence of windows. But then if I want to run parallels with windows I will need two licences of windows? Is this true.
I'm also confused if I can do that .... Use boot camp for windows games, but then use parallels for documents and low spec items. Please help, I'm getting my new iMac very soon and I'm very worried.
I have an iMac 27" w/ 4GB. I was looking to upgrade to 8GB. When adding more GB, do they have to be the same MHz? For example, my iMac has 1067 MHZ in it. If i get one that is 1333 MHz, will that still work with the 1067 MHz?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just bought a 17'' lamp-style G4 iMac with a dead logic board for the screen, with the intent of doing some fun modifications, just because I have some spare time. There are 2 things I would like to ask you all about. If you reply (and all constructive or humorous replies are much appreciated!), keep in mind that I am fairly knowledgeable about electronics and am good at soldering/wiring. Anything I don't know how to do, I have friends that are professional electrical engineers (my day job is working on the ATLAS experiment for the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva).
1) I have a perfect, working iMac G4 that has served me well for many years in the same lamp style with a 15'' monitor. Is it possible to gut the 15'' and put it in the 17''? The fit of the components doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to work and be more or less as functional as the current machine. I might be able to build some spacers or something if the fit is not perfect.
2) What do you think the chances are of me stuffing the innards of a Mac Mini inside the 15'' or 17'' chassis? My main concern is the screen connection. I might be able to jury-rig something so that the wires coming from the neck go to a DVI or whatever port is on the Mac Mini to do it that way, I wonder if there isn't a better solution?
Have at it. If I go through with this, I plan to post pictures and a step-by-step account of the process.
and to the people who will undoubtedly bring up copyright/legal infringements. this will not be for sale.

I feel something might be up with my 4850. I get some weird rendering in WoW (in OSX) and it doesn't seem to preform very well in COD4 (in Windows). Seems like these issues recently started.
Anyone else have an issue like this? Seems like when I first started using this system I had no problems. I have installed latest drivers.
I have SMCFan going on a higher speed to reduce heating. Done everything I can think of and stilll having issues. Am I missing anything?
I'd like to find some sort of program (OSX prefer) to do a stress test on the graphics card if there is one if there is one.
By mean of bootcamp, I install vista ultimate on my imac. Everything was working ok. I can bring up either programs by holding down my option key and then choose either pc or mac ox. But now a problem has come up. I can now only boot up the pc program and it does not matter if you use the option key or not. PC program is all I get. What can I do to get back on my mac ox program?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have a 17 inch Unibody macbook pro. It has a C2D 2.66, 4gb of ram, a 9600 512mb videocard and a 120gb SSD. I use it for general web-browsing, itunes, e-mail, and amateur photography with photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3. I have the oportunity to trade in my macbook pro for a 27 inch IMac, with an I7 processor, 8gb of ram and a 1tb Harddrive. My question is if it will be worth it?
I hardly use the laptop has a portable solution, it is mainly a desktop replacement, so I'm not too concern about portability. My concern is going from a C2D with SSD to an I7 with HDD. For my use, will the I7 be really faster? Or will the SSD on the macbook make the system feel faster? Look forward to hear from you. Have to decide today, as I have the Imac reserved until tomorrow.
