    Transferring Old iMac Contents To New iMac

    OK, I've read up on the migration assistant and it all seems relatively straightforward, but I will be transferring the apps and contents from a 2006 iMac (Lion) to a newer 2015 5K retina 27" iMac (OS unknown at this point). Any advice? Or help? I'm most concerned about getting my older data...

    2016 Macbook Pros powering 27" 5k Retina iMac?

    Does anyone have a solid grasp on the hardware capabilities on the new MacBook Pros (13 or 15) to know if it'd power the 27" 5k iMac screen? I know I'd need at least a Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 cable, but would that cut it? The LG displays seem to be supported at 5k. The previous...

    the reason is that considering the price increase from iphone 6s to iphone 7 and the constantly dropping GBP value, the new announced iMac might be priced as £1,599.00, £1,849.00 £2199.00 comparing to current version as £1,449.00, £1,599.00, £1,849.00. I think Apple already reduced the EDU...

    New iMac this fall?

    The full lineup of suitable AMD cards isn't out yet, just the m485x which is a re-brand of the m395x, and Kaby Lake isn't being released until early next year, meaning they haven't got anything to really update it other than DDR4 and TrueTone, and TB3/USB-C (also possibly a redesign that's due...

    Any chance of updates at WWDC?

    I have a feeling that it might be unusual for Apple to update multiple Macs at the same event, but does anyone think Apple might bring Polaris graphics and TB3/USB-C to the iMac line in June? If there is a Mac that needs the newest generation of graphics the most, it is the Mac that has a 5k...
