• Early 2008 IMAC HD

  I just installed a new hybrid of 1 TB (7200 RPM and 8 GB SSD) in my Early 2008 20 "2.66 Ghz IMAC

  I need to format the HD before you try to boot from El Capitan loaded on a USB?   When I hold that get an icon for the USB option, it loads then goes to a gray circle with line

  This could mean the picture on the port USB does not work?

  I also installed 2 module 2 GB of RAM, but I took out and replaced with the old RAM and always get the same result

  * Everything has been bought at OWC.com

  Yes, a new hard drive must be formatted before that you can do something with it.

  Regarding the USB - which is a Setup bootable on it? Doesn't seem to be if you are unable to start it. How do you have this OS out there?

• Mac Pro early 2008 adding ram problems

  I recently added RAM to my Mac Pro early 2008. The Mac Pro recognizes only 4 of 8 memory locations. I moved the slots and moved the memory and all slots and all the memories are good. No matter where I put them, or what memory I use, the Mac Pro will see 4 of 8. Any suggestions? Yosemite run 10.10.5, trying to fill all 8 locations with 800 mhz 2 GB DDR2 FB - DIMM.

• What screen resolution will be an early 2008 iMac support HDMI Firewire?

  The question, says it all really. I have an iMac in early 2008 with Firewire ports. I have a firewire connector HDMI I want to use to connect to a monitor to use as a secondary monitor to the iMac as a monitor for the PS3. I have a different HDMI to allow switch box outputs switch between the iMac & PS3.

  I want to know is what is the maximum resolution that will support the iMac?

  And, if I use a monitor with a higher resolution it will reduce or will it just not work?

  Thanks in advance.

  I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking.

  Ask yourself if the iMac in early 2008 can be used as a stand-alone monitor? No-> use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

  Ask yourself if you can connect your iMac in early 2008 to an external monitor? Yes, but your iMac has an output mini-DVI video. If your monitor has an HDMI input, you will need to use one adapter mini DVI to HDMI.

• How do I reinstall the AHT on my early 2008 iMac

  My 8, 1 imac, early 2008, now has installed, after Leopard and Snow Lepoard Yosemite. AHT will not load with the D option or the nline version, years that I don't have the diskettes original so I don't seem to be able to perform the test. Y at - it somewhere I can download and install AHT of?

  I guess my 2nd Q's that matter? Are there ways better/easier to test the card mother etc?

  Thank you.

  PS. I had to tap my Q 3 times to get to this point. 1 type Q and then connection; 2. type again; 3 Q appears in the summary box so change downwards and tap again below summary (see box).

  You can not download the AHT Apple or the internet.

  To run the AHT you disc #2 originally supplied with your iMac.

  Your best bet is to contact Apple Support and order a replacement set CD.

• iMac RAM Upgrade 11.2 hangs

  Hi, I just upgraded my iMac 11.2 to 16 GB of memory (from the original 4).  Shortly after startup and connection, the screen shuts off and restarts the computer.  When I put the memory original back in, it works fine.  I heard about getting the last update of the EFI firmware.  My version is now IM112.0057.B03.  On the Apple firmware update page, it says that the last iMac 11.2 version is IM112.0057.03B.  That one is more recent and not my firmware the problem?  Or is it the ram?  The ram is 2 x 4 GB, so I bought 2 packages.  Could it be the problem? I tried to install a single game (2x4gb), but it always crashed.  My ram is r_1_1 https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Memory-Module-1333MHz-PC3-10600/dp/B004PR6DAA/ref=s? s = pc & ie = UTF8 & qid = 1474140377 & sr = 1-1...

  Mac is very picky about RAM.

  At this point, I suggest that return you as RAM and only purchase from suppliers such as OWC or Crucial that specialize in the Mac RAM.

• For 2011 27 "i5 iMac RAM upgrade

  I am a professional photographer and maxed out my RAM slots in 2013 to recommended Apple 16 GB (4x4Go)

  Running:

  Mid 2011 iMac

  27 "i5

  4x4GB RAM

  El Capitan 10.11.5

  I've seen improvements in high speed at the time, but now things are starting to slow down.

  I run Lightroom almost every day, in numbers, reminders, Safari are open, and occasionally other programs like Pages, Filemaker or Photoshop.  I closed most nights of the week.  These last two weeks between the last updates of OS (El Capitan 10.11.5) and updates of Lightroom (6.6), things have been much slower, train and occasional crashes.

  The other day I received a pop up on my memory being exceeded.  I emptied the trash, emptied the caches and restarted, but the system is still trolling.

  I've read conflicting reports that my model should be able to take over 32 GB, but then I read that the i7 27 "models will support 32 GB.  I also read a swap on my SSD (which I am not qualified to) would thus improve speeds.

  Thoughts?  Can I replace my 16GB with new 32 GB?  Just more fresh 4x4GB would do the trick?

  Opt for the 32 GB. You can check that the CrucialAdvisory tool, or OWC. Two very reliable suppliers.

  Also, download and run EtreCheck, created by one of his own assistants here in CSA. This will help you see if some software is gettingI in the way. It is a diagnostic tool that is very useful for us to find problems. It will also give us additional specifications on your Mac. After his execution after the logfile here. It will never contain any personal information.

• iMac early 2008 fails to boot completely

  Hi all -

  I have an early 2008 iMac 3.06 GHz 24 "model that starts more completely. The system gets to the Apple screen and the progress bar comes in at halfway and there it is. I had replaced the original HARD with a SDD drive and had not had any problems so far. The system has 6 GB of RAM.

  I searched around here and I've tried all of the following conditions:

  -Reset the SMC

  -Reset NVRAM

  -AHT Ran, fast mode and the full analysis - no problems found. After that, the system does boot to the desktop, but after I stop, I was unable to get another successful reboot.

  -Swapped the SDS for the original HARD drive (which was in good working order when removed) and the system stopped booting in the same place on the progress bar

  -Replacement battery PRAM

  -Ran new AHT.

  Now, I remember the computer to reboot once before what is going on started and seeing that the screen was a little fuzzy. It's the me first to suspect the video card - but don't would not AHT reported that? I don't know if the problem I have is a card or a video card. This computer has been completely reliable since I bought it new in 2008 and I was very happy with it. I want to keep around for a little longer if possible.

  Is there something I'm missing here? I have no problem opening the iMac and to make the appropriate surgery according to the needs, but I want to be sure I'm correct operation.

  Thank you!

  Install or reinstall OS X from scratch

  Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

  HD recovery start:

  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

  Erase the drive:

  1. select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.

  2. once the charges of THE select your boot volume (usually Macintosh HD) in the

  list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of THE.

  3. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). If necessary, click

  Security and button all the option data from scratch in a single pass. Click

  the clear button and wait until the process is complete.

  4 leave FROM and return to the main menu.

  Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the install button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible

  because it is three times faster than wireless.

  This should install the version of Mac OS X that you had installed it.

• Upgrading OS on iMac Early 2008: 10.9.5 or 10.10?

  I got a 2008 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo 24 " iMac with 6GBs memory and 2 TB hard drive.  I upgraded memory of 4 to 6 GB and 1 TB to 2 TB a few years ago.

  I am running 10.9.5.

  1. anyone can you tell me the advantages and disadvantages of the upgrade to 10.10 , or 10.11 for my 2008 iMac?  I certainly do not want to level to slow...

  2. for any of you with the older iMacs 2008, what is your experience with 10.10 and / or 10.11 on older devices?  more fast/slow, etc.

  Thank you!

  Unless you have downloaded 10.10 previously, it is no longer available, so only download would be 10.11 El Capitan.

  All latest versions of operating system require more RAM, faster processors, etc. They also use RAM differently as in: all this (unused RAM is wasted RAM). Thus, depending on what you have installed and your workflow, there are slowdowns.

  First and foremost, make sure you have a good backup - a bootable clone would make things returning more easy. In this way, you can quickly start to this clone, erase your disc and clone the old system back. Alternatively, I'd say either create a second partition on your internal hard drive or use an external drive and, after cloning your current system on it (if you have all your files, etc.), install the 10.11 on it. Test drive for some time see if you like it or not. You can always remove it if you don't like it.

  I have an iMac early 2008, which is not suitable for the upgrade to Sierra. What is the fundamental reason for the machine is not suitable for the Sierra?  What is the processor speed, the adapter features, (I have 4 GB) of RAM. 8 years ago, I bought the machine.  Its great and when I bought it that I hoped for 7 years of use I have that have passed and now hoping to get to 10 years, but now I have some doubts about the future support.
