Yes, it is that biannual or so ritual of buying another printer/scanner. I have had them all and I just hate it. The current printer is a Canon. All seemed well then the dreaded print head error that has people going insane all over the web. The troubleshooting recommendation by Canon does...

Well, why not log in and have a conversation with myself? :-) I have the weirdest thing happening. I love screen sharing in OSX, but when controlling from my MacBook from my iMac, the "screen" of the Macbook, as projected in the iMac, continually dims. I have turned off every possible screen...

Oh, just to be clear again I did not buy an OWC drive (Samsung), but did use their install video. Apologies if you were making a general statement/reply about OWC and Trim. Also, to reiterate, I am not a complete bum in sing OWC only for their video as I have purchased a lot from them.

Okay, I am developing a habit of answering my own threads. I googled the heck out of this and found little that was related, though some reports of screen saver and screen sharing problems similar on headless mac minis, but not quite the same. A SMC and PRAM reset was suggested and on my MacBook...

I have an iMac running Mavericks and a MacBook Pro running El Capitan on my home desk and have given up on using keyboard/mouse sharing apps such as Sharemouse and Teleport (too buggy and inconsistent in my years of trying them). OSX Built in Screen Sharing is a nice alternative in simply...

Oh man... thanks for the info. However, I was super nervous about messing anything up or complicating any potential trouble shooting, so that's okay. Plus. getting to the battery isn't that hard, now that I now how to take this thing apart.

Well thank you sir. Sorry for the confusion! I bought a Samsung elsewhere (Amazon), but used the OWC (or now Macsales.com) videos. I have given OWC plenty of money over the years, so I don't feel guilty. I actually just bought some RAM from them to upgrade a Macbook, then upgraded that to El...

Not sure if anyone is paying attention, so I leave this either for myself or the future, but the upgrade is well worth the cost and effort. The OWC install video was crucial (for me). My advice, find the right video for your Mac, watch it a few times until you can practically recite the steps...

Dumped coffee on my USB keyboard, but had a spare. The thing was going nuts. N types J, D types SD and up arrow would not work. I read online you can put them in the dishwasher, but to be careful and not use them for about a week after. It actually worked (and man is it clean)! I don't recommend...

Holy schmoly, the SSD is in and it is awesome. Really gives life to the old iMac. No more grinding away and everything is so much quicker. The online OWC videos are perfect for this. Quite a few steps, but not hard. FYI, I turned on Trim. Probably not needed, but what the heck.

P.S. I ordered a Samsung and am now seeing mixed reports on potential TRIM problems...

Sorry!!! I owe you a virtual beer or something for all that typing!!! SSD comes in today.

Thanks DeltaMac - I actually mistyped. I have an early 2009 24". From what I understand that model won't recognize bigger chips. I'd like to be wrong, but I searched a bit and that seems to be the case.

Thanks to both of you. The music and video is just a hobby for me and other than waiting a minute or two for Logic to boot up, I have had zero problems, even with running probably too many audio plugins. Oh DeltaMac, the 2009 iMac will only take 8 GB of RAM! I did watch all those videos and read...

Hello, I have 4 Macs, but my trusty go to home desk/office machine is the oldest, a 2009 27" iMac. I use it for everything from R and some web dev stuff to Final Cut Pro and tons of music software including Ableton Live, Logic and different guitar amp modeling software. The old gal hums along...

Thanks.

Hello, I was on here years ago and got a lot of help with getting X Windows up and running. I am super super rusty, but will spare you with just one dumb question today. I have a 7 month old iMAC with 10.5. Does it come with Developer Tools installed? How would I check?
