early 2009

Het Guys! So I had this iMac I bought 3 years ago and decided to give it to my mother because I really don't have a use for it. Recently, she had some issues with it, turns out her problems were graphical. So I decided to take it back and give her my newer mac mini, and use this full time. I...

I have (or should I say, my wife) an early 24" 2009 iMac that I'm thinking about repairing. I've replaced it with a 2017 iMac (Great machine by the way!) but instead of throwing it to the curb (I just can't picture myself throwing my once $2200 iMac out to the curb! A sad day for sure) I would...

I just upgraded my ram to 8GB which OS X recognizes but Windows 7 32 bit in Bootcamp only recognizes 2.72GB. Of course, Apple only officially supports the 32 bit version but I have heard (see everymac...

First post... Glad to be here! So, I've decided to overhaul my early 2009 Mac Pro tower. I've already upgraded the firmware from 4,1 to 5,1... upgraded the RAM from 16gb to 48gb (for now). Will be adding a PCI SSD boot disk and new GPU once I get the CPU sorted. So, next step is to upgrade my...

I am a videographer who needs to bring my Mac Pro back from the dead. Nerdy with video files but not computer parts. My reading thus far has prompted me to look into the following. I am looking for a better understanding of each of the following and which upgrades are beneficial and worth it...
