Add Ram iMac 27 end of 2012

Hi guys.
I have an iMac 27 "end 2012, 3.2 GHz Intel Core, RAM 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1024 MB, model number A1419, EMC 2546 675MX.

Now, I would add 8 GB of RAM (4 + 4 + 8 + 8) but in the Apple dealer says that's not possible... 32 GB or anything.

Also I request the addition of an extra drive SSD (now the classic 1 TB HDD), but said that's not possible... only Fusion od SSD 1 TB drive.

I am confuse...

You have now two modules of 8 GB in the top two slots. Two slots are empty and you want to add two 4 GB modules. You can do it. The dealer won't. However, cost of the RAM is pretty cheap, and you're looking to add to 24 GB or 32 GB. How much more two modules of 8 GB will be plus two new modules to 4 GB? Just be sure to have the correct specifications:

Maximum memory 32 GB
Memory locations 4-204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

Reliable suppliers are OWC, DataMemand Crucial.

  • iMac 27 end of 2012 windows 7 installation problems.

    Dear Apple community.

    First of all I know that the topic was discussed a few more times, but after I tried to follow the instructions and directions and patterns almost everywhere on the net I am a blind spot.

    I have an iMac 27 "end 2012. I managed to install Windows 7 with Bootcamp through a combination of different methods, on line. (downloaded the Bootcamp Support 5.1.5621 software as described in many forums)

    But I am stuck because I always have problems with my UBS3 ports that do not allow my keyboard and graphic tablet to work (I had to uninstall the app in safe mode to return to UB2) and the resolution of the screen that is only 1280 x 720 at the arrow, trash and other stuff that appear distorted.

    Since I'm on some architecture and 3D modeling programs in Windows I want to ask for help because I don't really know where to look further.

    When I solve the problem, I promise to write here a detailed method to install win7 on iMac late 2012 for those in need.

    Can anyone help me to finally get a solution? Thanks a lot for your time and looking forward to hear that here you.

  • upgrade: iMac RAM can add ram to 8 gb that comes with it?

    Hey all,.

    So I just ordered my iMac 27 "end in 2015.

    I know you can increase the ram yourself and thought - if I order lets say 16 GB - can I add to the current 8 GB and make 24 GB of ram? (Or add 32 GB to 8 GB and therefor is 40 GB, incidentally?)

    Thank you!

    By the end of 2012 (27 in.) (i5) iMac - guard stop!

    For the last three weeks, I experience my iMac closing for no apparent reason.

    First of all I have if it were simply a fuse I replaced.

    The problem became more occurrent last week.

    I have same low leveled for Mountain Lion to see if maybe it was the operating system or software related, but it's the same thing.

    I have since reinstalled El Capitan of a clean install, and the problem still persists.

      • I removed the cable behind the screen to reset the SMC (which helps only temporary, but finally knocks again)
      • I tried a new installation of the operating system
      • I spent around sick Ram
      • I have reset the PRAM

    There's time were the computer remains on most long and times when it will start only insofar as the login screen and then stop.

    Please could someone help me shed light on this very frustrating issue... And the thing is, this computer is very rarely used since the purchase.

    See you soon!

  • End of 2012 very slow Mac. Etrecheck joint

    I have a Mac to end 2012, El Capitan, which has been gradually running slower and slower.  It seems preferable, once he is fully initialized, but it takes that which feels like an age to actually start, and if I try to open applications such as Mail, Safari. Finder etc., I sometimes get the beachball for several minutes.  I ran a couple of Etrechecks for beachballing and the other for the computer is too slow.  The disk information section seems worrying, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking at in the Etrecheck, so some constructive advice would be welcome.

    Thank you very much in anticipation.

  • iMac 27 in late 2012 is running extremely slow

    iMac 27 "Late 2012 3.4 Ghz Intel i7, 16 GB ram, of v10.11.2

    As soon as started in the morning, analyses of my iMac to launch any application especially Adobe CC apps.

    Mail and Safari is too slow. I use illustrator for my work and it takes several forced to work at all.

    5 minutes to start this single app. All I see is the spinning wheel of death.

    Would be - that the HD is dying, how can I check.

    I wish I could help, but if it's any comfort, I am having similar problems.  I have an iMac 21.5 ", end of 2012 with a 1 TB hard drive hybrid.  Often, I get the spinning beachball and it seems to have originated after that El Capitan has been installed.  In addition, the activity monitor will show often Reader Adobe flash (version 20) does not.  Then I have to force quit the flash player in order to free the computer.  I tried to contact Adobe, but they do not seem interested in helping without getting paid.  I can only hope that between Adobe and Apple, someone will provide an update that resolves the problem.

  • iMac 27 "end 2013 - random stop

    My iMac 27 "end of 2013 - have this problem to stop randomly, as power chord is out... randomly. I only can he start by plugging the power cable and wait for 5 minutes and then restarting it.

    When I explored the forum it seems the problem until 2010, it is a shame that the problem persists on a such expensive iMac after all these years and apple is unable to provide a definitive solution.

    My machine is less than a year, still under warranty, also under Apple Care, it took twice to the service center, here is the chronology of the events:

    -They have reset the SMC, PRAM, re-installed OS during the first visit, the problem persisted

    -Spent an hour on the phone support, yet once done a web-installation of the operating system, left ElCapitan to Yosemite, the problem persisted

    -Took it once again, they have replaced the main Board... the problem still persists

    I have read many theories online but no final solution. Here are some of the theories about what I found:
    -RAM 16 GB the origin of the problem... but mine is 8 GB

    -All slots of RAM is full... but mine has only 2 slots filled

    -It happens that the i7... but mine is a machine of i5

    -Could be because of the UPS, not having is not a good sinusoidal signal... wondering how to properly test it!

    Someone has encountered this problem and solved definitely... Please help, as I am losing confidence with the ability to engineer Apple to fix it... Wow! This seems strange, isn't it, most innovative and most valuable world company is unable to fix a common issue that many customers are faced with... and we lose confidence with them.

    I am in Bangalore in India, also need to check on the rights of consumers on this, any entries on this help because I think I deserve a replacement for the defective product. If it was the United States, if it is a lemon (take to solve the same problem 3 times)... even the cars is not replaced. Wonder how this works here. The lawyers on this forum?

    Fellow fans of Apple and mac fans (I'm one too!) Please help.

    Remove the UPS and test.

  • iMac G5 end 2005

    Hi, I have also an iMac G5, end of 2005, and although it works very well for an older iMac, I've got troubles get Skype running, it simply didn't and also none of the two versions of OpenOffice 2.1 (too much), or any version of Microsoft found for this machine which I really like and I intend to sell if I can not both running

    I searched the internet for at least Skype running without success.

    Any help in these matters on your part? I had planned to keep it at home, another iMac for work, but the problem on the G5 processor...

    I hope to get help

    The most appreciated.

    software development is long over. 11 years in computers is like saying you have Philco TV from 1952 and want to know how to connect a HDMI adapter to allow the display of 4K.

    If you are planning keep this use of the machine the software developed for this and any system that requires a backend support like Skype; do not expect to work if MS makes changes to this software support systems.
