problem with airplay on my iMac
Hello
I have the latest Apple TV
The Airplay button is available on my Mac mini server, my 27 iMac, but not on my 24 iMac. All are with El Captain 10.11.4 and connected on the same network
What should I do to get the airtime button/option available on my 24 iMac?
The iMac 24 "is too old and is not compatible AirPlay. The iMac 24 "last was the first model in 2009. Airtime will be introduced in 2011.

I bought a physical copy of Lightroom 5, but I'm having a problem with my disc drive (iMac - vintage 2009 - running os10.7.5). I tried to download a trial of LR5 creative cloud and using the serial number of the box, but the license key is not valid. Is there a way I can download a copy so that my license key will work?

Problems with El Capitan on iMac 27 "end 2013
Hello. I had some problems with my end 2013 27 "iMac. The majority of my problems seems to be turning around not being able to wake from its slumber unless I hard boot the system. I am running the operating system more recent 10.11.3
Sleep problems have started with my installation of El Capitan. I have reset the PRAM the SMC and have disabled the hibernation and Energy Saver preferences are set to never spin down hard drives or screen saver. Problem persists.
I also experience unexpected freezes. When these occur usually, audio on my system continues (if listening to iTunes or in a video game, the audio keeps going) but there is no response from the mouse or the movement on the screen at all. key board does not respond and mouse is frozen. The last time I had it's happen I had a panic the kernel to reboot (see below for the report)
I tried everything I can think of. I've scoured the forums on the internet for help and support. Im not sure if this is hardware or software related. I tried to unplug all of my devices - I have several hard drives USB and Thunderbolt. I have a second monitor connected via the bolt of lightning as well. This could be a video card problem?
I have used the EtreCheck software and have gotten several things that make me wonder if it's the software however, it seems that somewhere I still have pieces of teamviewer lingering around, even if I had uninstalled the software and I can't find anything in the spotlight for her. Here is an excerpt of my report...

Some things I noticed - I had questions on shut down the system. My computer completely sometimes turns. I have to force quit the finder or the dock still will remain open and prevent the closing down. If this happens, then I need hard closed by pushing the power button until the device turns off. My system is INCREDIBLY slow sometimes since the upgrade as well at el capitan.
I had a few problems with the big Adobe applications as well - sometimes illustrator or photoshop does any open or apps say they are open in the dock and in the force to quit smoking, but do not show in the activity monitor. In this case I have to restart my system for most work. force quit does not help them.
Sorry for the long post, but I have worked on Macs since OS7 and even worked in an apple store genius bar for awhile so I generally know what I can do to fix these but I can't get it probably remain fixed. I thought better to have as much information as possible. My next step is to reload the entire OS, but I have a lot of work here that I'm afraid to lose (even though I have several back ups via time machine and other copies on external drives)
Any help and advice would be most appreciated!
Thank you!

Sudden problems with Airplay, Apple TV etc with WAG320N
Hi all
Until recently I use DSL through my WAG320N and it worked perfectly. I used my AppleTV with airplay, Vuze, Xbox and so on without problem. I just moved to a new address with internet fiber. I've reconfigured the router for all route (and not an ADSL modem) by assigning the first to act as a WAN port ethernet port. Internet works fine as speed goes, but the wireless LAN is not optimal. I can't get my AppleTV to find iTunes on my laptop and Airplay is very slow and laggy. The router settings remained unchanged at first, but now I tried to reset to the factory settings and start over, this does not solve the problem however. I'm a bit puzled on this, as I know, the change of service provider (and go from ADSL to the fiber) should not have effects on the local network? I noticed that Vuze complains about problems NAT (just need to confirm that there is a NAT problem), but this should not matter in which of the local network, right?
Any ideas what the problem might be?
These devices are mentioned connected wireless? This could be a problem with wireless. It may be because of the interference. It is possible that in the new location, you have two or three neighbors who affects the Wi - Fi wireless signal. It is also possible that some other wireless devices are causing interference like cordless phones that moving on the same frequency with the router, the garage door openers and microwave machines. What you can do to prevent the interference must reconfigure wireless settings. Set width/bandwidth of 20 MHz channel and set the standard channel 1, 6 or 11. That should help him.

Problem with upgrade RAM on iMac 21 ", mid-2011
Hello
my iMac has 4 RAM slots. Already built in which 2x2gb. I have it decorated 2 x 4 GB.
After a while, I met a problem, a strange tone while booting, RAM failure signalling. I removed a RAM 2 GB module, my iMac worked well for overall with 10 GB of RAM, but more slowly. I bought another 2x4gb and wanted to improve the memory. Once the odd tone.
What really surprised me, that even I have exchanged only the remaining 2 GB module with a module of 4GB, even leading to the Strange tone (of course also two openings with 4 GB respectively). 2 former GB slots do not work with 4 GB of RAM modules, even if the capacity of the iMac is 16 GB.
I tried the Apple, no where to found error hardware test. I was carefully choosing compatible right modules RAM (Corsair DDR3, 1 333 Mhz).
What's wrong with my iMac?
Kind regards
Bobby
What brand is the third party of ram?

iMac 27 "mid-2011 - Intermittent problem with CPU fan running at full speed and sleep mode.
Hello!
My iMac 27 "has an intermittent problem with the CPU fan runs at full speed. Sometimes it happens at the time when I start it, sometimes only in my session, and sometimes only after a certain time. So does seem to be a problem of "heating".
Second issue is with the mode 'sleep'. It may occur also at any time, at the start of the iMac, session, or after a certain time. But once he starts to go in mode 'sleep', when I wake up, it goes right back in mode after a few seconds and that it will continue indefinitely until I restart the computer.
What could be?

What is the problem with my iMac mid-2011
Hello
Need help find out what is the problem with my iMac to mid-2011.
Yesterday during a reboot it just never came to life.
On turning the power on, I get the RINGTONE to start and that's it. The screen is totally black. Nothing behind tried with a torch.
VRAM rearmament so far I tried repeatedly, unplug and plug, all kinds of combinations of keys in the carillon and nothing.
Connected to an external monitor and shows nothing of too - no signal.
Any way that I can know what is wrong with it before sending it to the service tech? I suspect bad graphics card but how do you ensure?
From what you describe, it looks like a hardware issue that Apple will only be able to resolve, but not to despair immediately.
Read it please get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac - Apple Support.
I know that the title and subject are not suitable to your concern, but buried in this document is the following passage that contains three links describing the steps to follow.
If you can not change the resolution of your screen because you see no image, restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.
If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.
That first, then write again for additional suggestions if you are still having problems.

Don t work under El Capitan and I don't get an update/upgrade? I've used until yesterday an old MacBook pro and Lion, everything was perfect with an opening. Now, with the new element (iMac) and El Capitan, I have problems.
It is not possible to update the version of Aperture is 3.4.5
What can I do?
You can only update if you have a version of the AppStore of Aperture - if your version of Aperture appears in the history of your purchases on the App Store. Update and then reinstalling. See this tip of the user for more details:

Problems with the Display Mode target on end 2009 27 "iMac
Used late 2009 iMac 27 "in the view target in conjunction with a Dell XPS tower with i7 processor, Windows 7 and the best graphics card I could afford at the time connected by HDMI to mini display port cable. Worked well for years. Set aside Dell for a few months and the update of the iMac to El Capitan OS 10.11.3. Recently tried old setup with same Dell PC and was able to move from Mac to PC, but the PC screen resolution was at the lowest setting. I got an error message when enabling/disabling to PC who said there was a problem with the port causing mini display of the system back to the lowest resolution. Impossible to reset at a higher resolution.
I tested the Dell PC on another monitor, and it works very well at higher resolution (2560 X 1440). Now, when I reconnected it to the iMac (which works fine), the screen becomes black.
Is it possible that the operating system upgraded (El Capitan) is not compatible with the targets using mini display port Display Mode? Any ideas?
Use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode , also consider having a bad cable or connection. Does not hurt to try different cables, they can and will the bad!

problem with the 3/square icon on my iMac keyboard key.
I have a problem with the 3/square icon on my iMac keyboard key. The icon of Fund will not work, I just get # when I use the up and down arrow to the left of the keyboard. A lot of ideas, everyone please?
I just see the same question and the answer is the book symbol is alt + 3, I have a US keyboard. I wonder why that is? I bought my iMac to John lewis to the United Kingdom. Anyone have the answer for me please?
