G'day Madamkelly I've sent you an off list email outlining (with attachments) how to determine what model iMac you have.
In addition, sometimes videos won't play happily with quicktime without plug in converters. I suggest you download and install Perian and Flip4Mac. and see if they make a difference. http://perian.org/ http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4macwmv They are both free players, and work with OS X.5.

I do not know if it is because my imac is so old, or is there some other reason? I mostly use my imac for reading news, watching videos, email, social networking, etc. Can anyone tell me in simple English what might be the problem. I have no idea how to back up files, I just know that I should. I have so many questions about this machine, but whet I tried purchasing "apple support" they were so far head of me knowledge wise, that I could not understand them most of the time. I can not afford to pay someone to come over and give me lessons, so I have just learned to use it by trial and error. I did pay for lessons when I bought the imac, but they stopped the classes before I could take them. They were kind enough to refund my money, but that did not help me. Would any one here be willing to help me learn just the basics? I can't pay much, but I am willing to trade a hand made quilt for some help. -madamekelly -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
