Wow, I absolutely hate the new itunes version. I'm uninstalling and reinstalling the previous version as we speak.

 

Well, I officially hate itunes now.

Anyone recommend a program where I can manage my music library just like itunes but more user friendly?

 

It's fine

 

That's what I just said

 

iMac assembled in USA

You got the 2012 though?

 

No I couldn't get shlt, everything sold out

 

 

Like I said, time to whine about it touchpad style

 

Dell is coming out with a 5k display. They announced it last month. Supposedly requires two display ports 1.2 and MSRP is $2500, but that's not official they should drop it because of the iMac

AnandTech | Dell Previews 27-inch ?5K? UltraSharp Monitor: 5120x2880

 

The 5K iMac is gorgeous

 

Damn you bought one huh?

 

I wish they went with the nvidia 980m instead of that stupid ATI junk... :/

 

not yet.

 

I'll be tempted when they drop the price and enable target display mode

 

Well, my wife's iMac is having a meltdown. 3 year old iMac 27". Goes into white screen of death randomly. Boots into the white screen as well. Restarting by clearing the PRAM helps sometimes, but would still go into white screen of death soon after a successful restart.

Does it sound like a bad graphics card? If it is, I might be in luck because Apple has a recall on AMD Radeons.

The Apple Care on this iMac expired three months ago.

 

try it anyways, apple is known to provide warranty coverage even if its expired by a few months.

 

My '12 Mac Mini Server with an i7 was a great purchase. It's connected to our living room TV along with the PS3/PS4.

 

Wtf, the 2012 Mac minis just came in stock for refurbished. Went to buy, was already OOS. :-(

 

Gotcha bitch! Refurb 2012 2.3ghz i7 coming my way

 

OOS already, only server mode left.


Wonder if I should resell this for 800-900

 

I was reading that it might not even be able to, you would either need dual displayport 1.2 ports, or the new 1.3 spec which isn't out yet. Too munch bandwidth needed to drive that many pixels.

 

In typical Apple fashion, the next revision will probably have it.

 

If you really need it/could use it, then keep it. For me, I'd take the 50% profit.

What I'd try to do is buy another refurb (check every day and night). If you can snag another one, sell one of them.

And then rinse and repeat for a free mini?

 

Just checked out the retinas iMac

Honestly couldn't see the difference unless my face was about 8inches from the screen

 

The apple store here put it next to a non-retina. You can see the difference

 

Mine was next to one too.

Maybe need to get my eyes checked

 

Yep

 

You must've read the link I posted. Not even TB2 supports 5k. DP 1.3 came out last month so possibly the iMac is running that internally if not it's probably two DP 1.2s or some proprietary connection. TB3 is expected to come out next year should have that feature.

I'll wait until then, probably get a nice price drop too.

One day retina displays will be normal

 

Hope didn't read it there.

Too rich for me anyways

 

just set up my mac mini and the color is all jacked up. this is not going to be good if I'm using it for photo editing

 

go see an eye dr

 

A picture I took of a red car looks orange.


Edit: figured it out, it's currently connected to my monitor via HDMI, that's what's causing the issue, the Mac thinks it's plugged into a TV not a monitor hence the wonky colors.

I have a miniDP to DP cable already on the way via Amazon so that should fix that.

 

Can't you just choose a different color profile? :/

I'm on a HDMIed mini right now... Works great.

 

I tried all of them and it didn't fix it. When using HDMI to HDMI, the mini outputs in YPbPr, which is a no go for a monitor.

What is your HDMIed mini connected to?

 

An Asus VE278Q (27" LED LCD)

 

Hmmm well reading into it some more it could be an issue with just Dell monitors on OSX only.

Apparently with dell monitors, OSX thinks of them as a TV. So it outputs in YPbPr instead of RGB. That's why it's getting wonky colors and fuzzy text.

What's funny is people who run win 7/8 under bootcamp have correct color and no fuzziness.

Apparently it still does it even under miniDP to DP

Need to figure out how to force it to send an RGB signal.

And NO I'm not buying a new monitor.

(My DVI slot is already taken up by my PC)

 

I just needed to use mark up in mail...what a great feature. it prevented me from having to open photoshop, change, save as a new file, etc.

I just attached the photo, selected mark up...pointed out what I needed, and hit send. Awesome.

 

What is this?

Gonna take me some time getting used to a Mac
