• Early 2008 iMac RAM Upgrade

  Hello

  I have my old iMac bought in early 2008. It works very well and did an amazing job. However as time progressed so also the OS X has progressed on my iMac too. Snow Leopard, I moved to El captain.

  The maximum memory I have is 4 GB of RAM (2 GB * 2 LOCATIONS). But recently, I discovered that there are a lot of buffering going on and I'm sure it's due to lack of RAM. A lot of paging happens I think between the RAM and the HARD drive.

  My question to the readers of this message is:

  Can I go head and buy a Stick 4 GB RAM (DDR2 - 800 Mhz - 4 GB of RAM). What might be the implications of material. Although the chip itself is very expensive, I fear not buy if this will help my iMac to better respond to requests.

  Comments appreciated by all those who have done this kind of upgrade.

  Thanks for reading my message.

  Best wishes

  Your iMac can actually use up to 6 GB of ram. Buy ram from a friendly seller Mac as OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/

  or critical http://www.crucial.com

  That said even with 6 GB your old iMac can't run your expectations with El Capitan. An older operating system like Mountain Lion might better work in 4 or 6 GB of ram on your machine http://www.apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion

Can there be an underlying cause that should I worry about the?

  Download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results in your response.

• I have a 2008 iMac - how do Yosemite or El Capitan.  Sierra will not install.

  I have a 2008 iMac - how do Yosemite or El Capitan.  Sierra will not install (I want either the hack).

  I never 'got' Yosemite or El Capitan when they were available on the Mac App Store.

  The only way I've found is to get it on Apple's developer site, but I'm not a developer.  Apple how to flip the switch to the Mac App Store so that it shows up on top of my list?

  On this iMac, you should still be able to download El Capitan:

• My iMac can boot from an external drive?

  Hello

  I have an iMac 21.5 "Mid 2010 which starts to show its age with slowness. However, I plan to upgrade the Basic 4 GB of Ram either 8 GB or 16 GB of Ram, depending on price... and my main question.  I know that the Mac came initially with a 500 GB hard drive and I would also like to upgrade to an SSD because they make a world of difference from what I've heard, but I don't have the level of skill tech to do the steps together 20-30. I wonder, as I have a 1 TB USB SSD externally, if I could install a new version of Mac OS X on the SSD USB and then set it as my boot drive and just keep still plugged. Would this work or startup disk must be internal rather than external via USB?

  Your iMac can be set to boot from an external drive. Just install OS X on the SSD and SSD drive as your boot disk in System-> startup disk Preferences.

• iMac can't see SD cards

  My iMac can't see SD cards as before gradually.

  Disk utility cannot see the SD cards.

  All of my SD cards are good.  They can be read by other computers.

  Try a reboot.

  Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

  Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  Isolate a problem by using a different user account

  If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

• iTunes on my 2008 iMac won't work.

  When I try to open iTunes on my 2008 iMac, it opens for 1 second then closes the window and the program. Should I maybe just consider to Apple?

  Your profile suggests that you are always under Snow Leopard, which was released more than six years ago.

  I suggest that you upgrade to the latest version of OS X (El Capitan, OS X 10.11.3).)  Then you will be able to run the latest version of iTunes (12.3.2), which cannot be run on Snow Leopard.
