imac

On my 27" corei7 mid2010 iMac, i get every now and then a white screen, that seems to cover up the users login page. This occurs just before the Apple logo and the Chime sound. Normally when this occurs, thinking that its a freeze, i do a restart by using the power button. But today i acted as...

Hello everyone, I have an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and I’ve been having a issue with the fans ramping up a lot louder within the past couple of months + some issues with the computer not preforming as well. I installed Fanny Fan widget and when under load (converting 1080p video)...

When going for long term holidays, i want to have all of my files with me, so i can continue doing work from there. But im not talking about remotely connecting to my home computer, nor carrying the 27"iMac with me. I guess i could just get a MacBookPro and connect it to some display and have...

Hello. I Googled info on this but I found mostly "how to connect ATV". Here it is: I have old stuff the likes of iMac 27 2013 running on Mojave and a 2013 LG 50in HD 1080p. Last November, was about to buy a 4k TV but backed off since there's so less 4k content. Must say my LG is pure delight...

What if the upcoming 24" model is designed to replace and consolidate both iMacs? It's possible that Apple might direct pro users towards the Mac Pro, and simpler users towards the 24" iMac, similar to how they have mostly low end laptops, with a 16" discrete gpu option at a higher price for...

Hi all, I have a 2011 iMac (i5, 20gb ram, 1tb ssd) which is still powerful enough for me, but is now obsolete in the eyes of Apple. I need to use Logic Pro X for work but it’s not compatible with my iMac (running High Sierra). Alas, I’m looking to buy a new computer (ouch), but this got me...

I have a 2012 work iMac that I currently use with an external SSD as the boot drive for speed. The internal drive I believe is on the way out as its clicking and whirring a lot, I'm not bothered about any further damage to the drive as I have the SSD running my OS. BUT its a super annoying noise...

Hi everyone, I'm looking at getting an SSD set up for my iMac, it's going to be 8 years old in December and is still running on the original 5400 rpm non-fusion drive HDD (yes I know I bought the upper spec iMac and cheaped out on the HDD ?) so there are three main options I'm looking at, 1)...

I can't quite explain this bizarre situation for the past 5, 6 nights in a row now (and happening as I type). My older 2012 Mac - bluetooth mouse runs perfectly fine from the time I wake up around 7am until around 9:30, 10pm...and like clockwork when I notice the bluetooth Magic Mouse begin to...

Hi, I've had my iMac for a few years now, and while I love it, I work with video footage quite a bit, and stills. Not having access to a HDR monitor is getting a bit on my nerves so I have been looking at buying one for myself. But I don't want it as a second monitor, I want it as the *only*...

Hello all, I recently acquired (for free) a 2010 iMac that wasn't operational. I got the OS running again, but it was all but unusable. So I upgraded the ram from 4 to 8 GB, added in an SSD in addition to the original HDD and ODD, replaced the thermal paste on the GPU and CPU, and upgraded...
