IMac :: Is A 750.00 Upgrade To A SSD And 1tb HD

Aug 4, 2010

I bought my very first Mac a few months ago ( 27" i7 2.8GHz 8gb ram 1tb HD ) Now the refresh has hit and i am really wanting to run dual displays....I have searched high and low for a monitor but nothing compares to the iMac display ( not even the 24" ACD that i tried, 2 of them for that matter! ) So i decided i want to get a 2nd 27" iMac and use it as a external monitor while using the power of the processor in the background I can either A) get a lower model then my current iMac and use that as my ( in the background rig ) or B) get a LOADED i7 iMac and use my current iMac as the ( in the background rig )

IMac :: Looking To Upgrade RAM To 4GB

Feb 1, 2009

I am looking to upgrade the RAM in my iMac. The Model is iMac (Late-2006) 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo/2 GB RAM/Radeon x1600 256 MB/20" Widescreen. I am looking to go from 2 GB of ram to 4 GB, first off, before I would buy the ram, will this computer support it? And if it does will any of these RAM's work? [URL]. I'm not gonna spend a whole lot of money, probably from $60-80 no more than that...so long as I am guaranteed the RAM will work when I install it. Because lets face it, my system is out dating fast and I'm not buying a new comp for a long time.

OS X :: IMac Does Not Boot After RAM Upgrade?

Jun 8, 2008

iMac intel core duo...

My computer had 1GB of RAM, so I just bought a 2GB RAM card. When I installed both cards together i can hear the hard drive start up and then nothing, no boot up, just a black screen and the "sleep" light is just solid. I know both cards are fine because I tested each by themselves and they both started up and worked well, its only when they are both in at the same time does it do this. also both slots work because i tested both of them! I tried to do the PRAM reset and it doesnt work, and I tried to do it with one card in and then reset and then shutdown and install the 2nd card and still nothing. Please give me some advice, i am soooo frustrated!!

IMac :: Upgrade Path C2D Or I5 / I7?

Dec 9, 2009

I had a first generation intel imac 2.0 core duo (not core 2 duo) since 2006. Well now I am in the market for a new imac but I'm trying to figure out whether I should go with the C2D or i5/i7.

I use my imac for audio recording and it has served me well. Although its age is showing which is causing me to find new creative ways to stretch its CPU power, I wonder if a 3.06 GHz is a good enough boost (from my current 2.0 Ghz).

IMac :: RAM Upgrade For 21.5 3.06GHz?

Mar 12, 2010

I am obviously not using the correct search terms to find this info, but I want to upgrade my iMacs RAM. The system I have is a refurb 21.5 iMac with 3.06 GHz dual core processor. I want to go from the current 4Gig to 8Gig. Everytime I check the different sites for their online memory guides, I see the 3.06 Intel in the 24" but not in the 21.5. Are they the same? I just want to order the right memory the first time.

OS X V10.4 :: How To Upgrade IMac To Lion 10 .7

May 2, 2012

How I can upgrade the OS on an Intel iMac from 10.4.11 to 10.7 Lion? I have the following OS install discs: 10.5.6, 10.6 (Snow Leopard) & 10.7 (Lion) but it won't let me upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5.6! You'd think I have enough discs to do the job.

IMac (Intel) :: How To Upgrade From OS X 10.4.11 To 10.6.8

Dec 6, 2014

I recently reset my imac 2 GHz Intel Core Duo to factory settings to completely erase the hard drive and start over.  In doing so, I also deleted the OS 10.6.8 operating system that I had upgraded to.  I had purchased the upgrade from the app store and it was easy to install at the time.  Now, I am trying to access the app store to find that previously purchased app and re-install it BUT I cannot access the app store with my current browser and I can't upgrade my current browsers with my current operating system (10.4.11)...

IMac :: Is Upgrade To ILife 11 Worth It

Oct 23, 2010

My family bought a mid-2010 iMac 21.5". Being our 1st Mac, we're still learning it. My son has "toyed" with Garage band a few times. My wife wants to learn iPhoto but hasn't found the spare time. But will soon - once our disabled kid goes back to school. Have't tried iMove yet. Don't think we will...ith above in mind, is the upgrade to iLife 11 (for upgrades to iMovie, iPhoto and Garageband) worth it? Is the updates in iPhoto and Garageband with the $50 cost? Or, is using current version (that came with my iMac) "good enough" for our usage?

IMac :: Upgrade To 2010 For SSD Potential?

Oct 23, 2010

I very recently purchased a refurb late 2009 27 inch i7 iMac. It is more computer than I currently need. I do have one concern that SSD is supposedly much faster than a conventional hard drive and although a solid state drive is now pretty pricey, they will come down in price and I suspect become more mainstream over the next couple of years.

Does it make any sense to consider swapping my computer for a late 2010 i7 refurb (+ $200) so that I have an upgrade path to SSD in the future?

IMac :: Need To Upgrade To SL On G5 With Broken Screen

Jul 8, 2010

I am running an Intel G5, 10.5 iMac and am trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard. My problem is that my iMac's screen is completely disfigured from an unfortunate accident and since then I have set my display to mirror onto an external monitor. However, when I restart my Mac to install Snow Leopard via a partitioned hard drive, my external monitor seems to have defaulted into functioning as a dual monitor, not as a mirrored display.

As a result I can't see what's happening during the installation process. What I need is a way for my Mac to use my external monitor as the primary display during the installation process, but I'm at a complete loss as to how to achieve this. I can see and move my mouse around if I drag it way off to the right, but I've tried blind-clicking and dragging from the opposite screen to no avail.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: No Firewire 800 After Upgrade On IMac

May 17, 2012

I have a mid-2007 iMac (upgraded to 4GB RAM and 2TB HD). I have a Freecom Quattro Dock which allows me to hot swap hard disks, and it's connected to my iMac via Firewire 800. I use it to backup my internal HD. I backed up my iMac HD and then proceeded to upgrade from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4 which appeared successful, but now my iMac cannot see the disk connected to the dock via the Firewire 800 port. The dock has USB 2 and Firewire 400 connections, and it works fine via Firewire 400.

IMac PPC :: Upgrade An G4 To Make It Web Compatible?

May 31, 2012

My father has an iMac G4 circa 2003, currently running 10.2.8. He hasn't used it for a long while. This OS can connect to the internet, but the browser is incapable of loading content. What can I do? I don't want to go through finding and investing in all the OS upgrades if the computer doesn't have the storage space or capability to run them, and/or I still won't be able to use an upgraded browser with it. He's quite elderly and out in the country, so bringing it in to a Genius bar is out of the question.
