• iMac mid 2011 - GPU problem - no guarantee - not under replacement program

  Hello, I have an iMac 27 inch mid 2011 (bought on 28.05.2011 including Apple Care). The screen went blue and the iMac last weekend had problems at the start (screen stuck on gray - boot loop). I figured well known GPU problem , so I took it to my dealer.

  Diagnosis: GPU problem, but given that the replacement program ends Apple decided that I have to pay for repair costs: around 600 euros.

  Apple has decided that they will replace the video card for free for four years after the first retail computer sales. I am deeply disappointed by Apple since I am an Apple user since 1992 and it feels like they have let me down. Apple knows clearly that there is a problem with the video card. It seems that I have no chance that my iMac was not showing no signs of video card problem earlier. I can't use my iMac a lot because of work, so if I had turned on the iMac, a little more or let run together weeks I would have had more "luck"?

  Thanks, I called Apple and asked if they would reconsider their position, but the assistance service said they couldn't do anything for me. I kindly asked the Assistant if he could talk with his manager, but it did not help.

  Is there something else I could do? I am disappointed by Apple because I think they don't care for users for a long time and they force you to buy a new iMac. For iPhone 5, there is a program of replacing the battery. I took mine to my dealer, but my iPhone does not apply to Apple, the battery is quite good. So, if I had taken my iMac to the dealer with no sign of problem that apple would say, it does not apply to the video card replacement program.

  Is it possible to convince Apple to take care of my video card problem? For the moment, I agreed to pay for the fix, I need my iMac, but I will continue to find the solution of Apple (refund or half the cost).

  Y at - it advice in this regard, how can I convince Apple changing its position?

  You do not discuss Apple on these forums, we are all users like you. Apple does not read or participate in these forums. If you have a problem with your iMac, bring it to a Apple Store or call AppleCare or Service customer and plead your case.

  Good luck.

• Clone HD on SSD (Imac mid-2011)

  Hi, I have an iMac mid-2011 with 1 TB of hard drive and I'll install a SSD 1 TB as a second drive. I think I will clone the HD on the SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner. My question is: can do the clone operation after installing the SSD inside the iMac to speed up the process or I clone the HD before the opening of the iMac with the SSD connected via USB? I have only USB 2.0, I think is going to be very slow in this way... Thank you, Francesco

  Install the internal SSD if that's your plan. Start the computer from the HARD disk, and then use disk utility to partition and format the SSD drive as follows:

  Clone El Capitan on a new disc

  1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command - R until the Apple logo and progress bar appear.
  2. When the Utility Menu appears, select disk utility and click on the continue button.
  3. When disk utility loads select the SSD (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
  4. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
  5. Set the GUID partition scheme.
  6. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  7. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
  8. Select the new SSD, then select restore in the menu editing of disk utility.
  9. In the drop-down menu select the volume that you want to clone - your HARD drive.
  10. Click the apply button to start the process.

  This can take some time depending on the amount of data is transferred. Disk utility also automatically clones Recovery HD from the HDD to the SSD.

• Can I set up a secondary monitor to the HD on my iMac mid 2011

  Can I set up a secondary monitor to the HD on my iMac mid-2011 with no problems. I cannot afford to upgrade to the new iMac 27-inch and wanted to update my monitor.

  Is this possible on the Mid 2011 iMac?

  Yes.

  Your best option is to choose a good monitor that has Display Port or DVI input and shy away from those who only have HDMI and VGA input.

  For a display Port monitor you will need a Mini Display Port to Display Port cable if it is not provided with the monitor.

  For a DVI monitor you will need to a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter and a DVI cable.

• Cable Thunderbolt does not fit into the Thunderbolt ports in my iMac mid-2011

  I have a Mac Mini (purchased in early 2015) I want to fix it up to use at work. I need to reformat home using my iMac (mid 2011) as screen and then copy all files and applications from the iMac to the Mac Mini. Both have ports Thunderbolt. So I bought a Thunderbolt cable from a third party (!) and I'm baffled... the cable, both ends, is part of the Mac Mini but does not fit (either end, either the port, there are 2) in the iMac, no matter how hard I jiggle it. It is not the cable... but I'm confused as to how the TWO ports on my iMac could be wasted. Believe it or not, I have never tried to use before. PS., they are certainly the Thunderbolt ports, with the lightning bolt symbol bit.

  1A everyone has ever encountered this? All my other ports work fine.

  2. is there another way to target display mode in addition to crush on both machines? I found this article: use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode and it seems that I can use only Thunderbolt, but I wanted to make sure.

  Have you tried to return to the end of the cable? Don't be offended, it's happened.

  I have an iMac mid 2011, 2 TB HD, 16 GB of Ram and a video card AMD Radeon HD 6970 M 2 GB. My problem is the gray screen of death! After starting, I see the Apple logo and progress bar. When the progress bar stops, the screen goes gray and stops loading. I tried the following.

  1. Reset the PRAM og MSC
  2. Boot in single-user mode and fsck - fy
  3. Internet starts form Apple Hardware Test - no error at all!
  4. I tried starting in safe mode, I see the logo and progress bar, but it ends with the grey screen of death
  5. Tried to start with only the original RAM
  6. Tried to start without anny perihperal eqiptment (keyboard, mouse, ect.)
  7. Tried to start mode of recovery and a USB stick and an installation DVD, I see the logo and progress bar, but it ends with the grey screen of death
  8. Tried to do an internet restotre of Apple, I see the logo and progress bar, but it ends with the grey screen of death
  9. Began the iMac in target disk mode and got access to another iMac. A ran the disc utilities and first aid, always on the go!
  10. Started the iMac in target disk mode and made a full HARD disk cloth! Make new partitions tree and a clean install of the other iMac. And after that, the iMac problem still won't start!
  11. I can boot from HARD drive of the problem (in the mode of target diks) iMac via another iMac, so I guess the drive in the iMac problem is in working condition
  12. I also assume that the screen (video card) on the iMacis problem at work order due to the fact, that I see the Apple Start logo and progressbar. As well as the Apple Hardware Test run via the Internet (no video error)

• Bootcamp errors during the installation of the USB on iMac mid-2011

  I tried to install Windows 8.1 on my iMac for mid-2011. The problem is that my optical drive is not working properly.

  I created a USB bootable via Bootcamp Assistant on my MBPr and have tried my iMac HARD drive partitioning, using OSX disk utility and disk in recovery mode utility. I tried to leave the space as free and formatted as ExFat and fat.

  At the start of the usb drive and try to install on the bootcamp partition, I get the error that it is a MBR and not on a GPT partition.

  In addition, do not know if it's important, but it is a secondary internal drive. My main drive of OSX is an SSD. I have no problem accessing the drive in question under OSX.

• update the iMac mid-2011 or buy a new one.

  Hi guys,.

  I have an iMac 21.5 "mid 2011 with 12 Gb RAM. I was wondering if it was a good idea to override this model (installation of an SSD, etc.) or buying a new iMac.

  I am not very happy with RAM soldered to the logic board of the new models 21.5 ". Load path Apple extra RAM too. Most users may not upgrade RAM or change SSDS by themselves, but, I'm a small part of those who like to modify and update my Mac, I like to do and not be restricted by a marketing strategy.

  However, what do you think?

  Looking at the price of new iMacs, I would setup an SSD and more RAM if your iMac runs correctly. You will save money, and this computer will last you a few years without glitches.

  However, if you feel that your iMac is not powerful enough for the tasks you do, go for a new iMac. As you say, Apple does not allow you to change anything (except installation RAM on iMac 27 inches), so buy the iMac with the amount of RAM and disk that meet your needs.

• Would you buy an iMac Mid-2011 in 2016?

  Hi everyone, I was looking on buying a used iMac 21.5 "mid-2011 for me for about $500. I would use it mainly to the type of documents and go online, so I was wondering if a 2011 model would be good, because my brother has a MBA 2011 and it works perfectly. I am currently a student in the second year at the College and hope that this iMac should continue to work for maybe 3-4 years. What do you think guys? Here are the specs:

  Processor: Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

  Memory: 20 GB at 1333 MHz DDR3

  Chart: AMD Radeon HD 6750 M 512 MB

  Hard drive: 500 GB

  Well. I would buy it only if I knew that the seller fine - buying a computer 5 years means that the hard drive and map logic both malfunction of all hard drives not sooner or later. Logic board replacement is very expensive. If I don't know the seller, I wouldn't spend more than $300 or I would like to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and I have the material tested with their equipment to see if everything is in good shape.

  Not sure on the RAM you installed - you are NOT 20 GB; In my view, that the default value is 4 GB. If you want to run the latest top OS, better to get more RAM (8 total would be nice).

  And, finally, the seller must remove any OS version downloaded from the app store, due to the fact that it is only authorized to him, non transferable and attached to his Apple ID forever. It must provide the original installation discs.
