• Several screens on iMac mid-2007 with the Mavericks os

  

  It's the back of my computer (an iMac mid-2007 of 20 ") and it is running on 10.9.5 Mavericks.

  I think that the port farther to the right is a mini displayport, but I don't know because I had a mini displayport to hdmi adapter and it does not extend to the bottom of the socket and also wouldn't keep the Hdmi cable in it. I want to add my Samsung TV as a screen for my computer. Is this possible? How can I do it in this case?

  Hello Peartree327,

  I appreciate that you try to get your iMac to have TV as secondary display. Return to what you can do to get this working.

  This port for the video on the right is going to be a Mini-DVI port. You would pair that more a DVI to HDMI Cable, you should be able to get the video to your TV. Take a look at the articles below to review the techniques and information on the cards for you help to iron out.

• I try to down load El Cap to my iMac (mid 2007) and I get this message saying that I must have OS 10.11 to perform this task.  Where can I find 10.11?  Apple store has only 10.11.2 or later...

  What you are trying to download is an update to El Capitan, which requires that El Capitan already installed.

  You should find the correct Installer for El Capitan in the Apple store under the purchased tab.

• I need to upgrade my Mac (MacBook white unibody mid 2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD

  I need to upgrade my Mac (white unibody MacBook mid-2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD: I look to buy upgrades site Crucial and OWC site and there is a little difference, in terms of money: it's better to buy the Crucial site or OWC site.

  MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

  < re-titled by host >

  They have good tools to find compatible parts for your Mac models.  The OWC took is here

  http://eShop.MacSales.com/MyOWC/

  OWC tends to have the most detailed information on the Mac.  If I look to the top of the part to OWC and review specifications.  OWC offers often information based on the Mac-specific tests.  If Crucial offer something similar for a substantially lower price, buy it from Crucial.  I'm sure they have a refund is not political, if a part they say is compatible.  I bought the RAM and SSD both Crucial and OWC.  From my experience, be it high quality.

  For the 2010 iMac, OWC also offers a "kit" (with the tools and support) to replace the hard drive of 3.5 inches with a 2.5-inch SSD.  Eventually, if it's a 27-inch iMac, I think that you can Add the SSD instead of replace the hard drive.  And they have self-produced how-to videos on the process, related to many of their lists of products.  OWC provides a lot of information with added value and service for Mac users.

  OWC also offers kits to replace the optical drive on some Macs (including MacBooks) with an SSD (as a secondary internal drive).

• 24-inch iMac (mid-2007). How to upgrade?

  I have an iMac 24 inch (mid-2007) with Mac OS installed 10.6.8. I just installed a new HD, I have to reinstal of Mac OS X. I am to the 10.5.8 level using my cdrom. How can I upgrade?

  Thank you.

  The upgrade to 10.5.8 requires using a disc; It is generally a retail DVD of Snow Leopard. It can be purchased on the Apple Online Store.

  Update since 10.6.8 is possible by downloading El Capitan, or redownloading a BONE you obtained previously from the Mac App Store or by purchasing a download code for Lion or Lion of the mountains on the Apple Store online.

• iMac mid 2007 gel

  iMac (20-inch, mid 2007)

  2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  3 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM (2 + 1 GB)

  El Capitan 10.11.6 OSX

  Hard drive Western Digital 500 GB (black or blue, don't remember who I bought)

  Most of the time, I can move the coursour. I can't click on anything that it put, comuter to sleep or do something else. Sometimes, the screen goes black. The only option is to force the closing down of my computer by pressing the power.

  A few years ago I took it to my local apple dealer and they ran tests (I think they were testing for the graphics card, found nothing)

  This happens especially when I just start the computer and try to open a folder or an application. This problem started when I upgraded to Leopard. I have used with the Tiger, but recently upgraded to El Capitan. It is preferable in this version on mac but happens several times a day.

  I tried to install windows on it. Same thing.

  A few years ago my hard drive failed and I changed it. I don't remember is the problem started before or after it. Less than a year after the purchase of my mac, the display has stopped working and it was replaced by the apple warranty.

  What other information it takes me to solve this problem?

  Update:

  When I turn on my mac, the mac sound usually comes after 1-2seconds. Today, the noise began after about 5 seconds.

• How to prepare used iMac for sale

  I have an iMac opportunity running Yosemite 10.6.8 I want to sell. I have to wipe the hard drive and can't find a way to do it. It does not seem to have a recovery section of the disk that will allow me to use the disc utilities.

  How should I configure on this task?

  Friends of David

  Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 earlier, when you get to step 5, insert the original disc, restart with the C key or Option key, use disk utility to erase the internal drive and install a fresh OS.

  Mac OS X 10.6.8 isn't Snow Leopard, Yosemite.

• iMac mid-2011, 2.5 GH, el Capitan

  My iMac has a problem.  Here's what he does and what I tried:

  • At the start, I can connect and then it freezes,
  • In Safe Mode, I can connect and it freezes
  • In the restoration (R command), I get the choice to use Time Machine, reinstall Lion and the other two... but I can choose only one, then when I click on this option from the screen freezes again.
  • (Before this show, I tried to reinstall Lion using the restore feature but when it took it to the Apple Store it says that Lion was no longer available.  That's why I bought 10.7 Lion on a USB... I had not used before trying to solve this problem today).
  • If I use Option and choose my start... 1 Mac hard drive crashes, 2) I 10.7 Lion on a USB key and if I try to start so that it freezes, 3) I backup on Time Machine and the boot and freezes.
  • I have reset the NVRAM (Cmd + Opt + P + R)
  • Reset the SMC
  • I have recently installed a power and an SSD using OWC, had no problems for about a month.
  • I tried another keyboard and mouse, normally I use bluetooth.

  A good starting point is to replace the RAM. A faulty memory can often be the cause of all just random freezes. A defective boot disc could be the cause. If you have replaced the boot disk then make sure you partition and format the new drive before installing OS X.

• How to restore my Satellite 2450 return to factory settings?

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me with this problem? At first look and some of the related son is reading seems easy but...

  I can't access the menu of BIOS at startup upward or via the control panel. Apparently, I should have a supervisor password, which I don't know and have never been! I even tried the menu with safe mode, using the administrator, sign in, even when nothing is.

  To make things worse, I contacted an ASP who said that there was nothing they could do.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

• 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.
