How heavy is an iMac 21 1/2 inch end 2009?
How much is an iMac 21 1/2 inch end 2009 weigh with or without the support? I remember well the stand came as a sheet that I just stuck in the slot at the back of the unit. Can I have just lift it up to remove it? Is it possible to install a VESA mount in its place?
20.5 lb/9.3 kg (approximately)

How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?
This has two questions:
1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.
2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.
3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.
Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.
The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.
Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.
Is there a way to get what I need?
That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?
Installation of Windows on a Boot Camp partition on a drive of TB Fusion 3
Thank you.
After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.
Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.
A. take backup
1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.
B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD
1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)
Cs diskutil list
2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive. Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,
diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID
CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID
This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.
I hit this issue too. To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:
Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)
and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).
This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.
2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.
Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".
3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".
C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.
1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.
D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.
1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.
2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software. Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.
3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.
4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use. Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model). Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.
-From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.
-Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.
-Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.
5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.
It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.
Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.
For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.
Go to this link for more details on this subject: n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio
6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.
7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.
E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.
1 if you plan to upgrade to windows 10, you'll find that the windows IE v.8 7 is no longer works and had many problems to load the page. Then when you try to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, you get an error that you need at least windows 7 SP1 to support the last IE. Life is too complicated, just download the google Chrome browser, then search for download windows 10 and then run the Microsoft valuation tool to upgrade.
2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.
F. reinstall OSX El Capitan
Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well. You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.
1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.
2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.
3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.
4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.
5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.
6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.
The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.
The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.
G. delete the logical storage of nucleus on the HARD disk drive and it refuses with the DSS to form a merger with faster performance disc
1. Insert the install of OSX El Capitan rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.
2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.
3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.
4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.
5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.
Cs diskutil list
6. in the terminal, type commands to delete logical drives from basic storage. Note: All data will be destroyed in the logical drive.
diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID
CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID
7. tap "diskutil list" command lists all the resulting partitions. You should see that the HARD drive has the following partitions.
/ dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0
1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB
2: Apple_HFS GB SSD 121.0 disk0s2
/ dev/disk1 (internal, physical):
#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme * 3.0 to disk1
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS 1.7 Untitled TB disk1s2
3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD
4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 503.0 GB disk1s4
5: Apple_HFS 801,4 Untitled GB disk1s5
8 type the following commands to create the logical volumes group, named "myLVG" (or the name) of fuser using the usable for OSX to the SSD and HDD partitions.
diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2 disk1s5
Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.
In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.
So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2
9 create logical volumes named "Macintosh HD" (or you call it) on the logical volume group we just created for the reader of the merger.
diskutil createvolume logical volume group ID jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
10 command "diskutil cs type list" to check the resulting fusion drive created.

11 exit the terminal, go back to OSX El Capitan install screen and select the name of the fuser unit 'Macintosh HD' proceed to begin the installation of the os x for installation.
12. There will be a step in the installation ask you if you want to configure as a new computer, or restore from a time machine previous backup. Make your own choices it accordingly.
13 once OSX El Capitan has been installed and you have finished restoring the data and custom configurations, you can enter the application of preferences to check if you see the icon of the "Startup" disk", and if you choose Startup BootCamp in the next reboot, you should be able to boot up to Windows without pressing and holding the button option when reboot and choose to start windows manually. Also, in windows, you should be able to click on the bootcamp Control Panel and select for a startup to OSX on the next reboot.
14. one thing to be aware, if you install bootcamp in this way, the boot camp and the GUI utility disk in OSX El Capitan will not be able to adjust your settings. This means, if you need to touch anything or to readjust the size of the partition, you will need to do it again in step A. Alternatively, some how to get started with installing Mac OSX Yosemite USB, then adjust the partitions using similar commands shown in this article or other articles in this community.
15. yet once please take personal responsibility on damage if you follow the instructions in this article.

Thank you and very grateful for any input...
You seem to be dealing with a hardware failure.
Do a 'genius' one appointment at an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider. You may need to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up the data on the internal disks before you turn on your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional - ask if you need advice.
If privacy is a concern, delete the partitions of data with the ability to write zeros * (do it only if you have at least two backups complete, independent, and you know how to restore on a blank disc from any one of them.) Do not delete the recovery partition, if it is present.
Keep your confidential data safe during the repair of the equipment
Apple recommends that you remove permission to a device in the iTunes store before serving.
* One SSD has no need to be set to zero.

1-2 second ago stops whenever I try to open an application or switching between applications. The animation of the application icon in the status bar at the opening of the starts, pauses for 1-2 seconds and ends before you open the application. When you click on an inactive application window it pauses for 1 to 2 seconds before making the active window. This only happens after a reboot. It takes about a day being initialized for this problem to occur.
This does not seem like behaviour expected of such a new machine with charge card. All advice is appreciated.

I spent hours on web sites looking for advice clean my iMac - they were all dead ends. I send a question to this 'Community' first, but must have done it badly because there was no trace of it. I now have the beach on this computer ball effect. Are there places I can delete cookies etc to help out? Thank you for your help.

Don't know what's happening, you do not give a lot of information, but if you have the constant beachballing (spinning wait cursor), which could mean that the hard drive is dying.
Open Console.app in Applications > utilities. Filter, called "String Matching," right, high enter "I/o" without the quotes. What happens when you do this?

Hi Heinz, bad luck. This Apple support can help.
If your Mac will not turn on - Apple Support
Since you have no power, much of it does not apply. Read the subtopic, "power problems."

Replace hard drive SSD on end 2009 27 "iMac
end 2009 27 "imac
OS X 10.11.3
3.06 GHz intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB memory
According to the genius bar, the Seagate 1 TB hard drive on my end 2009 27 "iMac is a failure. They told me that they do not have the parts to replace and suggest I do myself or take it to Best Buy. Best Buy said that they are unable to do so I can't to try it myself. I read and watched directions to ifixit and several other sites. I am convinced that I have the skills to do the replacement, but I'm less confident about the purchase of equipment:
(1) Ifixit say I should use a Seagate drive to replace the Seagate drive I have. Engineering made no mention of this.
(2) engineering suggested I buy a Crucial BX200 480 GB SATA 6 GB/s 7 mm (with 9.5 mm adapter) 2.5 "disk flash internal SSD (part #CT7414188). The essential site says I need part CTSSDCONVT a 2.5 "to 3.5" SATA SSD/HHD converter for 2006-2012 MacPro. They suggest that it will work in my iMac as well. Articles and discussions have referenced problems with noise from the fan and order and mention with fixes software and manual control of the speed of the fans. When I mentioned questions fan of genius, he said not to worry about this, and the Crucial site makes no mention of him either. The SSD costs $129,99 and converter $ 21,50 for a total of $151,49.
(3) OWC offers aDIY Bundle which includes a 480 Electra of mercury GB 3 G SSD, newer technology AdaptaDrive to allow installation of the 2.5 "SSD and a digital probe online that eliminates the noise of the fan and maintains control of the correct system fan through management for the iMac system controller. The package costs $199,75.
Bundle OWC seems like a good deal but it seems to me that SSD Crucial works to 6 GB/s and the Electra of mercury to 3 Gbps. If I go through the replacement, it seems more sensible to get the 6 GB/s.
I wonder if I can mix and match and use the Crucial SSD with the Adaptadrive of more recent technology and digital sensor OWC.
Any suggestions from anyone who has done this replacement would be appreciated.
2009 iMacs have SATA 2 - meant 3Gbps rate. It does not matter if you use 2 SATA and SATA 3 - you get only speed SATA 2.
Second - the adapter for 2.5 to 3 5 - don't hang a lot of money on this,-l'ebay has many choices.
My personal experience, support 'intel' works best - since it is the length, so the seat fits much better.
Yes, you can mix and match - choose what might suit you best.
For me, I had Apple OEM SSD (Samsung doing this - 256 GB, SATA 3) with intel on iMac 2011 (SATA 3 speed), with support from OWC thermal line sensor.
Samsung 830 (256 GB and SATA 3) on iMac 2010 (SATA 2 speed), with support from Intel, with OWC thermal line sensor.
Note: the probe heat 2010 and 2011 are different.
Good luck.

have you tried to change the batteries in the mouse?

iMac (24 inch, early 2009) freezes and then thaws
iMac (24 inch, early 2009), frequency of 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Dup, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB - no reason apparent other than a mouse click randomly, the computer freezes for anything between a few minutes and maybe 15-20 minutes. Then, he thaws and answer to all clicks made while it was frozen.
I started in 'safe' mode and disconnect all external devices. It occurs again, but perhaps to a slightly lesser degree. The overall reaction is slow, with simple activities, taking a lot of time. for example to move a small folder to a new location, took nearly a minute to complete. Ejection of an external drive, took a minute to complete etc.
This started when I upgraded to El Capitan and has been progressively worse since then. All ideas are welcome please?
try to get etrecheck and run it and post the result
seems that people usually the advice of people like you to do, then probably someone
with exp in interping those know what components are
