Buy or not to buy an iMac... 5 k?
After you have entered the world of 'Apple' OS in 2008 and having owned a late2008 iMac at home and an early 2009 to the Agency, BOTH died for the same consequences (grilled to the graphics card), I'm about to buy a new mac, but I'm a little scared...
I can either follow the route VERY EXPENSIVE to have an Apple display monitor and a MacMini risk or my ass again and try to get an iMAC 5 k...
Given that we are talking about 5 k. error even 4 k... goal 5 k!... I can not even think how hot this basterd must get! especially when little game (I just play Hearthstone actually, no big 3D games!)...
So I would like to hear some tips here... I would like to use it mainly for office and 3D related stuff, and some video editting, nothing ultra pro, but I still need a "quick answer"...
What I don't want, it is to know that I need to trash a computer 3kUSD a few years later, simply because the (expensive) graphics card decides to commit suicide (again!).
I know that for some time the fiascos of welding 2008/2009 on the graphics of cards chips so any input on these would be also welcome!
It is this EAujourd today or did Apple has learned the lesson?
Thank you very MUCH!

FWIW, 7 to 8 years is not "a few" years in terms of computer.

I bought an iMac late 2015 5 K and I really can't say if the graphics card will still work in 2024. I can say that I am not worried about it.

My Photoshop CS6 extended has not transferred correctly Macbook iMac. He was treated as a trial and now I wonder to 'buy '.
I ran into this before. Click "buy this product" on the trial countdown screen.
Identifies you if requested with your Adobe ID and password the cloud is an option for those who do not have a license serial number. It is not mandatory.
Then, look for the option "I have a serial number.
And from there and activate. Your trial period should convert Photoshop Standard or extended according to the serial number.
Of course migrating or restoring from Time Machine breaks licenses.
So apart from uninstalling, run the cleaner use the CC cleaning tool tool to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6
and use disk utility to check your disk and launch a 'repair permissions' prior to installation.

Hello, I'm from Ukraine, can I buy an imac on your web site?
You can send imac in Ukraine?
Thank you!
You do not discuss Apple here - we are other users like you. Looking at the Apple online store site, it indicates that the online store will ship only in the country that it is in - in this case to the United States. If there is no Ukraine Apple online store, you can check in its dealers in your country.

Hello
I'll buy an iMac.
My favorite is the 21.5 "iMac with 4K display.
It has Intel Iris 6200 Pro and I wanted to ask you if it's good enough to use the affinity Photo (simple graphicdesign - no 3D things or similar - create banners/logos and edit a few photos - size of cut/edit)?
I'll use the iMac for listening to music, working with affinity Photo, Office (Word, Excel, PP), surfing the Internet and manage my website (with transmission and media).
The iMac works perfectly to your needs.
I hope you find it useful.
Best regards

I already have a subscription for Lightroom on a PC. I have the chance to buy an iMac. Lightroom runs on the iMac and do I need a subscription separately for Lightroom on the iMac? If you tell me where I can get it?
Hi jamesc,
You don't need to have two different subscription for Mac and windows, applications being platform independent cloud creatives.
And you can install it on two computers (can be a mac or windows / Mac or / or windows).
Please check your specifications mentioned by F. McLion before to claim the maximum benefits of the subscription as well.

How can I synchronize the notes of macbook or imac with iphone 4?
Somehow more notes are not synchronized.
How can I synchronize the notes of macbook or imac with iphone 4?
I found the help of apple, to login to icloud for my iphone. As soon as I visit icloud. com that I am advised to implement the icloud on the phone, but it is.
If your MacBook and iMac running El Capitan (OS X 10.11) and that you upgraded to the new features of notes, sync will alone with an iPhone running iOS 9 or later (which is not possible to do it on an iPhone 4). See the quote below: upgrade your notes with iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan - Apple Support
When you open Notes in iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan for the first time and select Upgrade now, both your notes on your device and your notes on iCloud.com will modernize. And if you connect to iCloud with the same Apple ID on your other iOS devices 9 and OS X El Capitan, all changes made to a note on a single device instantly appear on other devices.

CarbonCopyClone on an external drive in an external enclosure. Upgrade than SL ElCapitan leaving the intact internal SL. Start externally using the option key pressed at the start, do what you need with the iPhone, then stop and do what ever you need to again with SL disc.
Cludgy, but it works. I keep my SL still functional because there iDVD, but use updated OSXs for other purposes.

Thank you for your participation in the communities of Support from Apple.

Why the 66 java update will not install on my iMac with el capitan?
Why the 66 java update will not install on my iMac with el capitan?
I recommend that you work with Oracle to see if they are aware of any problems with El Capitan, Java is their product and they would know better. But I was able to find this, it might help you:

Reto
Just for confirmation, enable the account of Root user and you connect to same and try to launch Adobe Creative Cloud application and check. We can turn off later.
Let us know if you are able to launch the app or not.
Root user account activation step:
OS X Mavericks: enable and disable the root user
(Applies to Yosemite / El Capitan way)
How to connect as root
- If you are connected, choose quit from the Apple menu.
- If you connect from a list of names of users with pictures, click on the other.
- In the name field, type: root
- In the password field, type the password that you set when you configure the root user account.
Once you connect to the Root account try to launch creative cloud application and check.

InDesign cs6 still not compatible with the iMac 5K, his frustration that adobe is not fixing this issue! Perhaps a strategy to move to Adobe CC? I have urgent need to know how can I run the application correctly.
It will never be updated for InDesign CS6. This has been discussed to death. Adobe updated the CS6 applications that she could update. Illustrator and Photoshop come to mind, so your conspiracy theory is incorrect.
InDesign should be re-written from scratch due to the difference in the way it was designed.
Your choice is to live with it or move to creative cloud.
