imac 2011

Hi everyone who may be reading this, I need to pick your brains as I am all out of ideas and have tried everything. I purchased an IMac second hand 2011 model, got it serviced and had a new fan replaced. I installed new user and High Sierra and everything thing seemed to be going...

I am a parttime sysadmin who works on an iMac 27” 2011 with Windows bootcamp. At the moment my external screen is a 21,5” Dell 2211h.. I would like to upgrade the monitor because it is very small and makes it a ugly setup. We have more 27” iMacs at work so i would like to use two instead of...

Hi all, Thanks in advance. I tried to perform a clean install of MacOS High Sierra on my 2011 iMac 27" (EMC2429) using these instructions* (created a bootable USB); however it's been failing. Specifically, after erasing the "Macintosh HD" it tried to install Sierra from the bootable USB disk...

Hey, I want to connect my 2016 MacBook Pro to my 2011 iMac using target display mode. I found this cable on Amazon but after doing some digging I am starting to get the feeling it is not quite as simple (or cheap) as this to achieve my objective...

I am wondering if it is possible to back up a mac, then use that back up on a different mac to make a twin. The end goal is to update the OS on my late 2012 iMac from 10.8.5 to 10.9.5. I have a mid 2011 iMac and a late 2013 iMac at my disposal, each running on 10.9.5. Also, I don't want to...

We have been using Mac’s since just before Apple converted to Intel processors, i.e. 2005. Wanting to replace our 2006 iMac, I looked at Apple’s lowest cost option 21.5" option. I then went on Craigslist and found a top-of-the-line 27" 2011 iMac for $550 (in excellent condition). Here is a...

I'm buying my parents an old iMac and see options (in a local second hand site) for both iMac mid-2010 and mid-2011. Looking at the specs the big difference is i3 and i5 respectively. I rather buy something that will be as future proof as I can within the budget. Am I OK with the 2010 or rather...

The 2TB HDD in my 2011 iMac has been spinning for 5 years now and I am very aware that the chances of failure are increasing. Since some months I am booting from an external SSD via Thunderbolt which works great. The HDD was 99% filled with pictures in Aperture libraries (which were back up-ed...

Hello guys! So I have this iMac 27" medio 2011. Lately I haven't used it much mostly due to the fact that the computer is SO slow specially when it's just booted. I have checked Disk Utility and the activity tool both seems to give fine results. The CPU has around 90 % of free space when I am...

Hello everyone, I have installed Windows 10 on my iMac 2011 (21.5 Core i5 iMac/2.5GHz 8GB ram). I am well aware that the machine isn't supposed to be supported but I tried anyways and it works almost flawlessly. I only have one problem: I cannot make my Apple Keyboard and Magic Mouse (both...

Last night I was browsing the internet on my 2011 mac running Windows 10 OS and after I was done I put the computer to sleep. I also went to sleep. This morning I was greeted by a low volume whirring fan noise and I thought nothing of it until I tried to turn my computer on. When I pressed the...
