imac

This is probably a simple answer but I’m going to ask it anyway. My mac pro 2.1 10.7.5 runs well with all the old apps I still use with the exception of browsing and email software where it’s light years out-of-date and is just not fit for purpose anymore. My question is can I run it through a...

Hello, i have mid 2011 27 inch imac. Although it is still useful, the work programs I use do not work because the updates do not come. Since the current exchange rate is quite challenging in our country, it has become impossible to buy an external monitor. So I want to use my current imac as a...

Hi, I have a iMac 24 inch Core 2 Duo (Early 2009). I installed a new SSD drive a year ago and it's been working great since. But recently the display started to flicker or blink. By flicker, I mean the display going from lit normally to completely black rather quickly and randomly. It starts...

My iMac was making a continuous "modulating" high pitched sound. It would even pan from left to right and back. This sound was coming THROUGH my speakers. I disconnected my audio interface, switched inputs and outputs to internal speakers/mic... and it still happened. Did a hardware test and it...

I'm an old school graphic designer and I'm looking to upgrade to the new iMac Pro as I just feel it delivers on all my current and possible future needs. I have always been a MacPro user, but I just feel as the world has moved on, primarily with video and more specifically 4K video editing...

Hi there.... I'm a seasoned MacPro user... never actually had an iMac before as I just really felt it didn't suit my needs, not powerful or upgradeable enough for my needs.... but the world has changed and so has the limits of my uses for a computer. I'm an old school graphic designer from the...

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...

Hi there, I am NOT a tech savvy person at all! but have a 27" imac, 3 years old. Suddenly yesterday, the screen went black. System still running in background, no cursor in corner. I have read this thread, tried the SMC and PRAM resets, no joy, just makes a noise on resetting PRAM. It has a...

In the box containing the magic mouse and the keyboard, there is a flimsy black cloth. What is it supposed to be used for?

Hi all, I've just sold my late 2011 MBP (spec in sig), and I'm looking to replace it with a desktop, I've only got a budget of around £800 and was looking at a 27" iMac or a Mac Pro, I know if I get the mac pro I'm prob only going to get a 2008 model but I thought I could upgrade it and I'd...

Next week I will take delivery of an electronic tool for checking settings on my car. It's a bit of equipment that has been around the industry for a long time and the memory is held on a 32MB PCMCIA card. I would like to make a back-up of it as soon as it arrives, in case it gets corrupted...

So I've literally tried everything I know, which is all the basic diagnostics - I've been on the phone multiple times with apple with the conversations finally ending in them being stumped and telling me sorry but I'm going to just have to do a full wipe and restart new.... I can't have that...

I'm considering getting a 2012 21.5 iMac. The one with 2 Thunderbolt connections. I have a second (non Apple) 1080p DVI display and a Wacom Cintiq 12WX. Is it possible to connect both a the same time? Does the iMac & software support a 2 external display configuration with each screen being...

Doesn't time fly. I thought that my iMac was still under guarantee, but it's well over 2 years old! Today it died. At least I thought that this was the problem, but it comes back on after a reboot. Further investigation shows that the computer is OK. It's just a black screen. I can access...

Hi guys, Im new at this forum and a noobie at IOs software, here is my problem: I use this mac for record and edit audio not for entertainment so this is to hard for me, I use a audio interface, I realize of this problem when I tryed to put a track on left and other on right side so I listen...

Hello all My sister has an iMac G5 17" Model A1058 with 1 GB RAM. During a recent visit from me to her house she complained to me about the sluggish behavior of this Mac. So I had a look at it. After running disk-utility and repairs on the disk the whole machine was much quicker. Noticing...

I've just acquired a G5 iMac today (first time ever that I've been given a good machine, and not something destined for the scrapheap - go me!) and am trying to get to grips with the dreaded fan noise. Maybe it's just me and my sensitive little ears but the noise is completely intolerable and is...

Hi, can someone tell me how many watts does the 27" 2.93 Corei7 iMac consume? And where can i see the answer officially?

Greetings, I am experiencing constant setbacks when using my OWC external drive as a video/music storage. My 2008, 24" iMac is in a perfect shape. The External Drive comprise of two, 2TB HDs connected in simple parallel inside the OWC box. Connecting the two with FW-800, or USB-2 brings...

I recently upgraded my 2.66 Intel IMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Now when I startup it doesn't recognize my Wacom Graphire 4 tablet. I can reinstall the drivers and the tablet will behave as normal, but after I shutdown and reboot, it does not recognize the tablet and I have to reinstall...
