• El Capitan: Compatibility with the mid 2007 iMac

  Apple support tell me my mid 2007 iMac Intel is compatible with El Capitan. My iMac only has 2 GB of RAM (spec that had been originally shipped) and is running Snow Leopard, which requires only 1 GB or RAM to run. Specification technical El Capitan indicate that 2 GB of RAM to run.

  I'm afraid that if I install El Capitan, my iMac mudra to stop.

  I was wondering if anyone of you has experience with the installation of OSX El Capitan on a mid-2007, Intel iMac?

  Thank you very much!

  Based on the specifications provided, I guess it's your Mac:

  http://www.EveryMac.com/systems/Apple/iMac/specs/iMac-Core-2-extreme-2.8-24-inch - aluminium - specs.html

  2 GB of RAM is the absolute minimum necessary for the performance of El Capitan (However, most of the people here will tell you that 4 GB should be realistic, low).  According to what you do with your Mac, it will not necessarily work well.  From the link above, you will notice that your Mac can take up to 6 GB of RAM.  If you want to update, I would like to, highly recommend, that you get more memory.

• Mid 2007 iMac - problem with install Clean El Capitan

  I have a (very) old mid 2007 iMac that I tried to do a clean install of El Capitan to a USB flash drive.

  I used the following instructions to create a bootable USB El Capitan:

  http://Mashable.com/2015/10/01/clean-install-OS-x-El-Capitan/#5K.kLrHcpEq3

  The USB boot media creation went through without any problems. However, when I try to start the iMac from the drive flash, iMac stays on the screen of the Apple logo for a few minutes and then restarts.

  The iMac was initially Mavericks recovery utility is restarted after I erased the hard drive. To avoid any possible problems with the installer of El Capitan, I used an older DVD of Snow Leopard to remove the Mavericks recovery from disk. The drive is now without an operating system or recovery utilities.

  I suspect a problem with the hardware with the hard drive or flash drive that I use. The hard drive has been erased with a single pass of zeros using disk utility. The flash drive, I regularly use as disk bootable for PC.

  My only other option at this point is to install Snow Leopard, install upgrade to El Capitan, and then use the recovery of El Capitan to do a cleaning.

  I was wondering if anyone else encountered this problem and has a solution.

  Thank you.

  Just to update.

  I decided to take the long road with this to install El Capitan on this iMac.

  Here are the steps I took to install OS x:

  • Wipe all existing partitions on the hard disk, including my former Mavericks recovery partition.
  • Installed Snow Leopard from the installation DVD. Updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8
  • A ran Installer El Capitan
  • Started in the El Capitan recovery utility. I have reset (formatted) the reader.
  • Re-installed El Capitan.

  I could not only solve problems with my key USB install media. It wasn't a complete disaster since I already had existing media that I could use for my iMac back on its feet. My mistake was wipe my existing facility for the Mavericks before check my USB as bootable. Installation took much longer than I anticipated for this reason.

  So, in conclusion, do a clean install on this model iMac is possible, but I highly recommend checking any bootable media before you delete your existing installation of Mac OS. The best route (and easier) is upgrading the OS.

• How long the mid 2007 iMac, running El Capitan 10.11.6 rely on Apple?

  Hi all

  I was dreading the day where it would happen, but with the release of the Sierra of the OS, I see that my iMac mid 2007 is no longer able to update for Sierra. I am El Capitan 10.11.6 running without any problems and always up-to-date security, etc. I would like to know how long my iMac will be supported by Apple and for how long it will be safe to use.

  Thank you!

  It is usually 7-8 years for the material, if you are already past. I don't know what's calendar from Apple for the OS, but you're on the latest version of El Capitan and I guess they will award updates security for a little; However, since Sierra was published, the focus has shifted to who and I expect updates to security for a past OS for over a year about.

• Mid 2007 iMac

  Hello! I have an iMac mid 2007, and, of course, it only is not supported (officially) for macOS Sierra. I read that an upgrade of the CPU can support, but no one knows if this is true? Thank you!!

  3MJB

  No, this is not correct.

  There is no official updates. Even if you have replaced the entire mother (at great expense), the installer would probably not recognize and not to install Sierra, anyway.

  If you have a spare monitor, you might want to consider buying a Mac mini from recent.

• mid 2007 iMac os update

  I recently bought and renovated an iMac mid 2007. Updated 2 to 4 GB RAM. The next thing on the list to do, update the operating system. As you know, the iMac is technically able to update to the new OS X El Capitan. I'm a bit wary of this movement, as if I didn't want to stress not too much material. That's the spirit you have any recommendations to the extent of the Lion or Lion Mount going? Who do you think will be better for this iMac? or d you think that I should jump straight to El Capitan?

  Thank you very much!

  Concerning

  El Capitan is your only choice, because none of the earlier versions are available for download.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

      Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

  1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

  2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

  3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

• Mid range iMac with 16 GB of RAM or Imac 4 k with 8 GB?

  Hello

  I have some doubts about my purchase between this two imac. Now, I have a Macbook pro 15 "mid-2010, intel core i5 2, 53ghz, and I upgraded the ram from 4 GB to 8 GB two years ago. It works well, but little work with after effects (not professional) is so slow, just now, and other apps open like photoshop, illustrator(professional use) at the same time is not a good idea. I think that the CPU is limiting.

  So, I have two doubts:

  -J' I notice a significant difference in performance with a new imac like that?

  -If I decide finally buy a while ago, what could be the best decision to have a good computer for another 6 years and my work: mid-range imac with 16 GB or imac 4 k with 8 GB (two 21.5 because I prefer)? Top models are so much money for me.

  Thank you guys.

  (Sorry for my English is not my language)

  For "future verification", it is not wise to buy an iMac 21.5 "with less the amount of maximum available ram. 8 GB can be enough today that is not being upgraded after purchase and you may quickly regret your decision.

• Can I replace the memory and not lose what is on the old memory for a Mid 2007 Mack computer desktop Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz processor speed, 1 CPU, 4 MB of Cache L1, the 4 GB memory at 800 MHz bus speed.  Only 1 slot can play memory, the other is damaged

  Can I replace the memory and not to lose what's on the memory of the former?  I have a Mid 2007, 20 "desktop Mac, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz processor, 1 CPU, 4 MB L2 cache, 4 GB of memory, 800 MHz bus speed.  I have a backup device.  A RAM slot is damaged.

  You are confused of RAM and disk space available.

  RAM stores information temporarily while the Mac is enabled and the application is reached. RAM replacement has no effect on the long term of your information storage.

  The hard drive is where your information is stored in the long term. If you replace your hard drive, you need restore the information from a backup.

  FYI, for your iMac, the maximum RAM is only 6 GB.

  I have a 24 inch American mid 2007 Imac, but I just move to Spain and I want to use it here.

  THE CORD is BED 125v (it's a small label on the cord) and in Spain, power is 240v, does that mean I need to buy a transformer?

  I have only a converter for the plug but not a transformer if I'm afraid to plug it.

  Thank you

  Yes, you just need an adapter plug that should be available to any airport or the hardware store.

• How to migrate the imac 2007 to the new iMac using the TM backup drive?

  My mid 2007 iMac does start more (gray screen of death) so I have a new iMac on command.

  I expect to use the Migration Wizard when the new machine arrives in a week or two from here.  I'll need to do it from my Time Machine backup disk however.

  The backup TM drive is a TB drive WD MyBook Studio 2 2 (physical hard drives 2 x 1 TB) in a RAID 1 array.  This is the Firewire 800 and it looks like 2 USB as well.

  The new iMac looks like it's fall in love 2 and USB 3.

  So I guess I'll need an adapter of some sort to migrate my stuff to the new iMac maybe?  Can someone advise please?

  Connect the drive via USB. No adapter is required.
