Intel Mac :: Mid-2007 Has Crashed Possibly From Overheating?

Apr 12, 2012

Unexpectedly, the screen goes to a 100line b/w vertical display, and stays lit. The rear upper left feels very hot.   After allowing the computer to cool to touch, rebooting presents an apparently stable system.

This has happened twice this week, and never before.

MacBook :: 2007, Late Mid-year Model Is Overheating?

May 14, 2012

My MacBook (2007, late mid-year model) is overheating and the batter cover has buckled.  Now the battery does not seem to want to charge.  Do I need to replace the battery?  The computer?  What will help?  I'd like to use the computer for as long as possible, though I realize I am probably overdue to replace it. It is my only computer at the moment.

Intel Mac :: Mid 2011 Graphics Card Overheating?

Apr 13, 2012

I haven't installed any new software in the last 3 months. About 2 weeks ago the iMac shut down on me out of nowhere. I put my hand on the top-rear and it was really really hot. I left it for an hour and tried to start it up again. A progress bar showed underneith the apple logo at boot up. When  it got to about 15% it shut the computer off again. It did this over and over. I restored from a Time Machine back-up and it worked. I started monitoring the temperatures inside and it seems my graphics card (the AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB) runs constantly around 80 degrees C. That's hot. I'm not doing anything besides browsing and listening to iTunes so I don't know what could be stressing the GC. Nothing is out of the ordinary in the Activity Monitor.

Intel Mac :: Mid 2007 - Won't Power On

Feb 20, 2012

My mid-2007 intel iMac 24" won't power on, there is no sound, screen activity or signs of life other than a slight "bzz bzz" when the power button is pressed. Yesterday it was working fine, I put the computer to sleep and when I attempted to wake it the next day, it would not. The optical eye on the mouse was lit and a green led light could be seen reflecting through the memory access door, but the computer made no sounds and would not wake. I held the power button until the mouse turned off and then attempted to reboot. All I get is a quick buzz (possibly the hard drive sound that you normally hear just before the chimes and screen powering on) when the power button is pressed, but no other activity. I attempted resetting the SMC and reinstalling the memory, no avail. Just a little buzz and nothing else. An

Intel Mac :: Mid 2007 Crippled By Lion?

Jun 19, 2012

Have been suffering Lion for ages but despite the iMac being within spec to run 10.7 required it is absolutely useless ans getting worse. It is just getting worse over time and would go back to Snow Leopard tomorrow but can't find a way to use iCloud. I have reinstalled Lion from scratch and it soon gets bogged down again – like swimming through cement just trying to do basic tasks. Only used for email, web and syncing iTunes – with Snow Leopard I could run Adobe CS, with Lion I can barely run Apple Mail.  

It feels to me like Apple have left me and users like me high and dry. Any solutions welcome as this is horrible.

Intel Mac :: Dock Spaces Desktop Picture Screensaver All Crashed And Won't Work

May 21, 2012

The Dock doesn't appear. Spaces is greyed out and won't stay enabled. Desktop picture cannot be selected (stays standard blue screen). Screensaver does not work and cannot set hot corner. 

I have deleted the dock plists, restarted, repaired permissions, updated to 10.6.8, restarted again. Still no dock, no Spaces, no desktop picture change, no screensaver. 

How did this begin? I had lots of large-memory apps running (eg. Photoshop, Garageband, Pages, Audacity, etc) and then there was a freeze, I can't remember which app – probably Photoshop) and I had to shutdown using the on/off button. 

After that startup, all the problems were present. :-( (I've looked at related Dock-crash posts here: I do not have installed: Parallels; Fusion.)

IMac :: Boot Failure Intel (2007) OS X 10.6?

Jun 21, 2010

I know this is a fairly common subject matter but I have tried just about everything suggested but with no success. detailed below are my findings, I was wondering if anyone better qualified than me could suggest a diagnosis?

What does it do?

I hear the fans and hard drive and see the white/grey boot screen with the apple logo and spinning cog. The cog will spin for anything from 5 - 30 seconds before freezing. Some disk activity will continue for a short time afterwards before everything grinds to a halt?

Mac Mini :: Used Intel 2007 Audio Will Not Work?

Have it hooked up to creature speakers, which never had an issue before.  Sometimes if I fix disk permissions (which disk utility points out but never really fixes) and zap the PRAM, after a few restarts the audio will work.  But right now mac mini is acting like it isn't connected to its speakers.  Even the internal one. The previous owner did upgrade the RAM to 3 gigs...

Intel Mac :: Changed HDD And Now Fans Work ALL The TIME (7,1 - Mid 2007)?

Feb 19, 2012

I have an imac 7,1 - intel core 2 duo, 2,4GHz, that is 20" from mid 2007 with an HARD DISC:  Western digital : WD3200AAJS - (320GB) that died.so I bought a NEW HDD: Western digital: WD10EARX - (1TB): Caviar green series I changed step by step the HDD and reconnected everything and all went well, until I re-started the iMac. After approx. 2-3 min the HDD Fan began to increase in speed and since then I have tried everything that I found on the net and nothing worked to slow down the fans.

That is the external temp sensor is set in the same way as it was on the old HDD.  I reset the SMC  and the PRAM several times, actually oppened and checked all cable conections three times. I installed the SMC fan control - no difference, the HDD fan control demo version - no difference. THUS the problem is that the FANS do not stop working as if the comp is on fire.

Intel Mac :: Quicken 2007 Updated - Transfer Files From A G4?

Mar 26, 2012

I have Quicken 2007 for Mac on my G4 and would like to move it to my new iMac currently running Lion. I downloaded the recently-released update that will allow Quicken to run on Lion, then downloaded the file to an external USB drive. I then uploaded it to my iMac, and Quicken opens, but does not have any of my account information. I then deleted the files from my iMac and downloaded another copy of Quicken 2007 from the Quicken website. I then downloaded the update to my iMac, but it would not open.  So, it appears that I have to transfer it form my G4, but need to do it in a way that will also transfer my data.

I ordered a firewire cable and am planning to try to move it directly. In the meantime, does anybody have any tips? Just so you know,  I really want to use Quicken.

Intel Mac :: Can A 2007 Feed Two HDMI Projector Signals From Its Mini-DVI Output

Happy to find any solution to this including an HDMI splitter box, mac mini solution, anything from Matrox or Blackmagic design, or if it is more cost effective even buying a new imac if it can output two video signals at the same time. So basically I wish to feed the same computer output images via mini DVI to two HDMI projectors simultaneously.
