Cost of repair disk HARD mid-2010 iMac
I was wondering, how can I expect to pay to have my 1 TB HARD drive I replaced my iMac mid-2010? Is not an exact number, just a ball park figure. I found a few DIY videos, make the repair, I just don't feel comfortable fact myself. I have an Apple Store 20 minutes from my house. I tried to call Apple, but they tell me over the phone. I am 100% positive it's HARD drive and I have a recent backup via time machine.
Thanks in advance
The only way to make sure is to take in, but you already know that. I heard between $200 and $300

Upgrade to 3TO HDD on mid-2010 iMac 27 "
2 TB Hitachi HDD in mid-2010 iMac 27 "quad-core i7 2.93 Ghz. considering short of spare space internally to 3 (or 4).
Course 3 TB hard drives are compatible with this system? Problems with the temperature sensor? Recommendations for the replacement of brand/model?
N ° 2 TB is, according to me, the bigger you can install. Data transfer you only use on an external drive and delete from in-house to create more usable space.
Free space on hard drive
1. see Lion-Lion/mountain/storage of the Mavericks display.
2. you can remove the data from your file except for the folder/Home/Library /.
3. visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the free space on your hard drive.
4. also see release space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5 see where my disk space gone?.
6 see the storage view.
You must empty the trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider to replace the drive with a larger. Check out OWC of readers, tutorials and boxes tools.

Spec'd correct., tested and reliable Mac RAM DO can be bought online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory, directly from the site Crucial (crucial.com) or OWC (macsales.com).

Any other RAM from other sources and manufacturers (except OWC or Crucial) is questionable, at best.

Hey people and our apologies in advance to those of you who are aware, I am the fool who needs protection against
I am trying to reset the iMac family as it has been rumbling along for close to 6 years accumulating all the usual garbage. Multiple users, multiple libraries etc. My feeling is to do a factory reset and then spend some time setting the system manually rather than Time Machine etc. I know it's rather long, but I want to make sure that whatever it is on the iMac is here to design rather than a hangover or an oversight. I will also be implemented as a user to avoid the trash in a triple that we had before.
so... the question is how to do the factory reset without risk. I took all the files that I want to disable external hard drives and I have TM backups too. My only concern is because it is a 2010 that I have more no disks. IS this a problem or I'll be able to use the Restorer online?

If the computer is running Sierra what you can do is to restart in the recovery (command-R on startup) Partition
Then, open disk utility and erase the internal HD ATTENTION! This will clean the HD.
Then close THE, and then select install Mac OS and select the internal HD. This will install a clean version of Mac OS X on the computer.
Once OS X is installed, select Restart and make sure that you choose the HD internal as boot drive. Once the computer restarts with your new version of Sierra you can start to install your applications and restore your files, settings, etc...

mid-2010 iMac slower afer is upgraded to El Capitan
Hi all
I ran EtreCheck (thanks Allan!); details below.
Also ran AHT & it showed no problems
I installed an SSD in December machine considered fast - then installed El Capitan and he slowed, & I think it's gotten worse in recent weeks.
Symptoms:
- delays of beach ball
- Some applications and files are very slow to open
- using bluetooth keyboard & mouse - cursor seems to get hung up in emails, etc. (& same jumps around tasks randomly once in a while - JUST started using the mouse & keyboard cable; so far, not sure they are better.)
- using iCloud for most documents. The files are slow to open, but Cnet speed test shows that 20-30 MB/s download speed.
I do not know is that a "clean install", but I had no problem (obvious) El Cap installation.
With the SSD and 20 GB of RAM, this machine should always work for some time, Yes?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.

The only obvious thing that I see is that your RAM is installed incorrectly. It should be in pairs, your is wrong in pairs. The Bank 0 and Bank 1 should have identical RAM installed. You also have a very old version of Parallels installed. If you use Windows yet then upgrade of Parallels and if you uninstall according to the developers.

manufacture of mid-2010 iMac long beep during use
My iMac mid-2010 recently started to long, high-pitched sounds of snoring randomly - normally after it has been for some time. I recorded the sound but can't seem to be attached to this post.
Last night, he did a single, long and serious beep (like an old Atari or something) - it's like the sound on this link, but it does only once. https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Zbmx_555fcE
Anyone has any ideas on what could happen?
Thank you!
Tony
Normally this beeps indicate memory RAM problems. You can try to take a MEMORY first and see if it gets better. If this is not the case, try a different RAM and check if it makes a difference.

Only 2 available ram slots, not 4 on 27 inch Mid 2010 iMac i3
Hello
Well, I'm puzzled. I bought an iMac 27 inch, Intel Core i3 mid2010 news about 5 years ago. In the about this Mac it says 4 slots available, with only 2 in use (2 GB each). This week I took it to a technician to install additional RAM and we discovered that the slots are not available. There is a molding hard plastic over them and in fact with a closer observation, that we noticed that even if I had to cut the moldings for the ram to connect. The tech denounces with Mac every day, because he's never seen it before.
I just called Apple directly, and they have no idea why this would be. Anyone else out there he never heard of this?
Thank you, Darrell
There are black plastic tabs that partially cover and returned to eject modules of ram installed. Get out the tabs, install the RAM and drag the tab back in. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+27-Inch+EMC+2390+RAM+Replacement/8828

All iMac Mid 2010 use modules of PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz SO - DIMM 204 pins.
See > install memory in an iMac - Apple Support
Problem is that the Mac is very picky and not just any PC3-10600 1333 MHz modules will work.
Your best bet is to buy for providers like OWC and Crucial memory modules that specialize iMac RAM.

Greetings,
I am in a bind and need help to repair disk hard "do-it-yourself". My fault ID: 9C353G-GLV870-QFPJWJ-60E703
I am no longer under warranty and have no funds currently to be considered in a service center (if it is still available for my location).
Can we please: 1. tell me what means this failure code? and 2. Is this something I could fix me?
Very unhappy that it was not used much yet failed prematurely! Computers these days come with kill switches after a certain period of time after the purchase?
Thanks in advance to anyone who might help.
Wes
The model is dv7 - 7333cl.
He made a place for 2 hard drives, but the specifications say that it came with 1.
This video shows adding a second hard drive, but you can easily view it how remove you and replace the original hard drive that is located on the right in the video:
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=cLP8kjeLW-Q
No doubt, you can recover most or all of the data on the old hard drive with a USB to SATA adapter.
Ein bischen kleiner aber billiger:
Windows 10 can be reinstalled on a new drive hard if your installation has been activated before. The activation servers Microsoft just know your computer and will be reactive. You must Access the media creation tool and have it make a bootable DVD player or you need a usb thumb drive at least 4 GB.
After the back if you want to discuss before, or perhaps find an SSD.

iMac mid-2010: list of compatible HARD drive
Hello
I need to replace the hard drive of my iMac 21.5 mid 2010. I thought that any SATA drive would work, but after studying a bit I discovered the issue of thermal sensor. So my question is: are there at - there somewhere a list of compatible drives? I can't find any information on this subject.
I'm not going to replace the drive myself, but I would like to know the options.
Thank you
Luis
You don't necessarily have to get a special player. There are interface cables
available that have a temperature probe attached to it. See:
http://eShop.MacSales.com/item/OWC/DIDIMACHDD09/
This cable simply connects between the new drive and the cable of the iMac.
Using this cable, you can install any available hard drive.

Update the iMac 21.5 mid 2010 "with SSD
Hi - I am interested in upgrading my iMac 21.5 mid 2010 "with an internal SSD. Have been reading the posts on the subject and I wanted to clarify a few points. As I understand it, there is not a spare drive Bay, so my options are to replace the existing drive, or replace the optical drive.
My questions are:
(1) is there a difference in meaning in performance in both options?
(2) the location of the optical drive is a stable position (physically) to put a SSD?
(3) if it is placed in the location of the optical drive, I'll be able to boot from the SSD drive?
(4) I read that if you replace the hard drive, there is also a problem with a heat sensor that fans end up running a full speed, and you must download a software workaround solution, or get a special thermal sensor OWC. This applies also to put it in the optical Bay? Why or why not, and if not, is the drive always properly cooled? Not sure I quite understand that part.
Thanks for any help,
David
I added an SSD for my iMac 2011. It has an extra SATA port, so I could leave the optical drive in place and put the SSD in behind it, while keeping the original HARD disk too.
I think that 2010 models do not have this port, but the other World Computing would be able to confirm this on their site based on the available kits.
1. you won't see any difference in performance in both positions. Note, the 2010 iMac uses ports SATA 3 G, so if you use a 6G SSD, it will only run at 3G speeds. Willl you always get a huge performance on the old HDD even gain at this slower speed.
2. Yes, to use the available kits
3. Yes the installer once you define which drive you want to boot from in system preferences > startup
4. I think it's only valid for 2011 models, but still OWC kits will show if you need the adaptor cable. It does not apply in the optical drive. Cooling still works correctly if you use the kits to correct or additional software.
Edit: just check out OWC, it seems that the thermal cable adapter is required for this model
Edit 2: If you have never worked on electronics, I strongly suggest that you do not open the iMac yourself. If it is not particularly difficult if you are experienced, it is very easy to break something if you do not have this experience.

The upgrade of the SDS disk leaves MBP (mid-2010) on the gray screen
From 18:00 yesterday, I have prepared a new Crucial SSD 1 TB for my Macbook Pro (mid-2010), and now it does not start. When I reinsert the disc HARD original (Hitachi 320 GB at 5400 RPM), it starts always is more. I tried every key to start command, but it does not work. What is going on? I can't access even my disks on Windows PC, because they are more support or recognize Fat volumes (using NTFS), so I currently am up the Creek without a paddle. FWIW, I used Carbon Copy Clone to work. Thank you for your time.
