We used the Apple AirPort Time Capsule for a number of years (and even plugged in an external USB drive when the internal drive failed), but it seems that this is the end of the road for Apple routers. We've also been replacing Intel x86 Macs with Apple Silicon varieties. Old Setup: 2 ISPs =>...

Hello Mac friends, w/ the iPhone's and iMac's Bluetooths ON, their Airdrops can see each other, I can also copy paste to and from between them but when I drag a PDF to the iPhone Airdrop on the iMac nothing happens, it's not in the Files app nor any app; or when I use Share to send a photo to...

Good morning, I recently came across a friend who was getting rid of their 2013 (21.5) iMac. I upgraded the internals and now is running 16GB and 1TB RAM of SSD storage and it runs great. 99% of the time I’m just browsing, listening to music/movie, typing documents, occasionally editing...

(As a side note, if you read my post about me “possibly wrecking my Mac,” this was happening before that so this isn’t a result of the possibly corrupted update.) So my dad, the admin of the iMac 21.5” late 2015, is experiencing very slow performance. Just going to a website, such as usps.com...

Hello guys, I upgraded my late 2015 27" iMac to Monterey from Mojave. It's now taking some 5 minutes to startup from an external SSD. Mojave took less than a minute. What is going on here? Any ideas? Thanks

I want to run Windows XP in a virtual machine on my iMac (late 2015 21.5” iMac) but I don’t know what VM to use. I would run it natively but I don’t have an old pc that can run XP. Please don’t reply “use boot camp,” I know that might work but I can’t do that, I just want to run XP inside of...

Hello, I am new to these forums. It is probably going to be my only post since I do not own any apple products anymore. (Not by choice.) I wanted to know what distro of linux would be the best for this version of iMac. I've tried Ubuntu, however it was incredibly glitchy and borderline...

So, I rebooted my Late 2015 21.5-in iMac to install Rogue Amoeba's Piezo software. It was in an endless boot loop when it tried to start up again. I eventually unplugged it and plugged it back in. Then I pressed Power and it booted just fine (after 10 minutes that seemed like days.) I logged in...

Hey all, I recently cracked my mid-2017 iMac's display glass whilst installing an SSD. In the past, I recall taking the display glass off the computer with a suction cup, but it appears as though the glass is glued (?) to the display panel on this model. Is there any way to replace just the...

I have a strange habit of force-quitting all of my apps by doing Cmd+Opt+Esc and pressing Enter a bunch. It's just convenient. But as long as all of my work is saved, is there any harm in force-quitting apps every single time I am done using them? Is it bad for my Mac? I just think doing a...

Hi Mac friends. I just painstakingly disassembled the iMac for 22 hours almost straight the whole day (one day Apple will be easy to disassemble like that Frameworks company we pray, fast and hope) the Late 2015 iMac; its logicboard battery which is a BR2032 3v (not the usual PC CR2032), if this...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. I have an Imac 27" late 2012 and I successfully installed ventura (now up and running for months). Unfortunately after upgrading to 13.3 the ONLY problem encountered is with the preview app (which is fantastic). The problem is that if I have an image on my...

Hello everyone, Has anyone experienced an issue installing Ventura with OpenCore? I’m using a Late 2015 iMac - after installing Ventura it boots but it looks as if it boots safe mode? The start button has a black background like in safe mode. If I try to press start at the hello screen - I...

Hello everyone, I’m running a Late 2015 27” iMac with 16GB of ram, i5-6500, R9 390m with a Fusion Drive and macOS Monterey. The Fusion Drive has proven to be a bit problematic - it suffers loads of freezes and the read speed falls to below 1mbps. I decided to get a Netac Z Slim usb SSD to run...

From a couple of days my iMac is not booting up. First day it was stuck in the restart loop, I tried to open disk utility using command+r and command +shift +p+r but it wouldn't open the disk utility. Yesterday, it was still stuck in the restart loop and sometimes won't even show the white...

I currently thinking about getting a 27" Late 2013 iMac for the efficient Haswell cpu and reasonably cheap price. But I'm just wondering if anyone has every tried upgrading the display to the 5k panel? I know it might be a stretch for the gpu. But what I'm really curious about is the connector...
