• Problems with an iMac 2013 end of printing

  I use an iMac 2013 end using the operating system of Yosemite. I have a Brother printer model # MFC - 7360N printer multifunction. Sometimes it will print a small portion of an e-mail, especially from the left side and not the entire document. I can't understand why. My computer is on a network at the office and if I try to use network printers, she will do the same. Help please!

  Open system preferences > printers and Scanners > print and then right or control click on the printer on the left, then click on: reset the printing system.

• Ethernet port on iMac 2013 does not connect

  iMac 2013 WiFi works, but slow (25 to 40 Mbps off potential 250 + Mbps. Somedays as fast as 179 Mbps wifi, but not lately) router misplacement slows me down and very hard to change the location of the router. Ethernet cable is good. Cable used to work with the iMac, but now it does not work. Not sure if hardware problem, or if the updates of the AOS has caused. Same cable works always with older macBook and iMac. 270 Mbps with the cable connected to the MacBook. A detailed visual inspection of the port does not bent pins. New looks.  Ports of the router has changed. Changing cables. Reset the router. You wonder if El Capitan or other updates might close port? How to re-enable?

  They say on the following link:

  If you can connect to Wi - Fi, follow these steps to update to version 3.28.2

  1. Open the activity monitor, located in the Utilities folder of the Applications folder.

  6. Switch to the activity monitor. When using the processor (CPU %) of the process softwareupdated is reset, the extension of the core must be updated.

• Can I replace the iMac 2013 with the iMac of retina of 2015?

  I broke my iMac, I bought 3 weeks before the iMac that 4 K was released. Yesterday I have brung up to the Apple Store and fixed, but today, Apple told me to replace it. Here are the specs:

  iMac 21.5 "1080 p 2.9 GHz Quad Core, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB hard end of 2013

  I intend to buy the iMac 21.5 "4K retina because it will be vintage on October 13, 2020.

  I bought my iMac on September 26, 2015. If the Mac is vintage after being interrupted for 5 years, I live in California or in Turkey, can I repair my iMac to an Apple Store? I'm not sure the price of replacement of the iMac.

  Cannot understand what your question is that if you ask if the Apple Store will be repaired an iMac, they will of course.

• iMac 2013 becomes unresponsive

  About once a day, with El Capitan iMac reacts forcing a hard power off. Here are the different symptoms.

  The system becomes increasingly less sensitive.

  The screen may go black but the mouse cursor remains active.

  Can I get a color wheel when hovering over the Apple/Finder menu, but not on the portion of time/volume.

  Windows can be stuck off the screen when displaying the desktop. I can always click on the icons on the desktop, but nothing happens.

  I can bring up and place the cursor on the dock, but I can't open anything.

  Sometimes I can open items in the dock, but there is not a right click on the feature.

  I can get a prohibitive sign on reboot, asking the second restart.

  When I boot, the same random folder iphoto opens upward... (Like some buried the hidden database file.)

  Download GeekBench and look over the results of tests to find out. Not enough information provided and without tests side by side of each configuration, it's almost an impossible question to answer definitively.

  The SSD used by Apple in a Mini 2012 is not necessarily the same brand and model from the one used in an iMac of 2015. Then there is a dual-core or quad-core i7 in the Mini. iMacs usually had the quad-core processors, I think.

  When I try to use 3D drawn with RADIUS my computer is practically useless.

  Is there a way I can set it up to work as what?

  Or,

  Do I need an SSD for the max?

  If so,.

  Please give me some suggestions of good compatible SSD for my iMac?

  Unfortunately C4D Lite does not come with CS6. CS6 options include Boris FX, Zaxworks 3D element and a few others. If you make a life with AE then one of these plugins will allow you to save more than their cost in a few projects. I would like to try the demo versions to see which suits you best and who do the job with the least amount of fussing around.

• Performance issues of Lightroom after updating to the new iMac

  I used an iMac 2013 end with 3.5 Ghz i7 and 3 TB Fusion Drive and 32 GB of RAM and had very good performance.

  I've recently updated to an iMac of retina with i7 4.0 Ghz and 512 GB SSD and 32 GB of RAM. I also bought an external LaCie Big 1 TB drive which has 1 300 MB/s read/write speeds and put my Lightroom library, photos and ACR cache on this drive.

  In view of these changes, I expect an increase in the performance of my previous system. However, I see the opposite. In Lightroom when I apply a preset, I sometimes get a beach ball of rotation for a few seconds before she applies. In Photoshop, using the Google Nik filters, I when I move the sliders effect is not instantaneous as it used to be; Instead, I see chunks of the screen redraw.

  All other applications on my system seem to work very well. Photoshop and LR open both faster than they on my previous iMac. But their use seems slower that me perplexed.

  Any ideas?

  I guess the beach ball, that you see is the generation of the 1:1 Preview or how long it takes to calculate overall gross instead of a preview of lower res. The display on these new iMacs is so gigantic that the standard preview size is way too small (the max is 2880 pixels long, which is a factor of 2 too small for the retina display). The machine of the retina has 4 x as many pixels as the iMac 27 "older. The difference in speed between 4.0 Ghz and 3.5 GHz is not enough to compensate for this difference in number of pixels that should be calculated from the raw to catch up so you should see a decrease in the speed if you're using Lightroom full screen. Try the Lightroom window about 1/4 of the screen and see if that changes things.

• Applications sometimes take a long time to start on my iMac to 2013

  On my other 2 Mac (macbook pro running Mavericks and mini mac running Snow Leopard - both with 8G of RAM) are super fast and responsive. My newish iMac (2013) with 8G seems to take time to log in (sometimes) applications. After I reboot, think is great, after a week or two, things slow down. Especially after that I have wake the computer and try to do something (with the applications that are already running). I keep the reader all the time.

  I ran EtreCheck and found a few red elements on insufficient RAM.

  I can post the report as a whole if anyone thinks it would help.

  I thought that 8G only is not enough. I am running the latest version of El Capitan. I am considering getting Apple to add more memory. The iMac, I replaced was under Snow Leopard and was super fast, also with 8G or RAM.

  I had the hard drive replaced a few months (under warranty) because she could not and was the reason for which that my machine was not long like a dog, but now it isn't bad, until it starts to slow down.

  One last thing...  We have 3 users on the iMac. All signed at the same time. We do not have something strong, just email, browser, calendar and the application of greater occational.

  Thanks in advance.

  Do not post the full text of the report. A 8 GB computer shouldn't have killed during the launch of the process. Before running the program, restart the computer so that we can see what it looks like charges.

• iMac (end 2013) El Capitan constantly crashing - unusable

  For the last few weeks, my iMac 2013 end 27' with the top of the graphics card online and ram full-bridge has been starting ok, but after some time, the beach ball appears, I can't go to Finder to force quit applications, other applications are block (quickly) and the screen goes black. This can happen when I have no real application running in the foreground, I am not connected to the internet, and when I cut all startup applications. The only way to solve the problem is a hard - reboot, but within hours, the problem reoccurs.

  I tried many suggestions on this forum and elsewhere, including alt-R-cmd-P and sure reboots and a reinstall full Mac OS x (alt - R). I have repaired all the permissions of the drive via disk utility. All software are up to date and there are a lot of disk space. I removed MacKeeper, some time ago, even if a process is always stopped by one of the tools used to remove it. I have run activity monitor, but do not see anything that dominates, other than the kernel_task, but it gets much above 1 GB and RAM does not seem out to max.

  It kills me that I use remotely via TeamViewer mac and so I can just restart every hour or so when it crashes. Desperately looking for a solution.

  An end iMac from 2013 will not work Snow Leopard with reliability. It should not have been able to even install it. Its original operating system would have been Mavericks or Yosemite. Install a correct operating system and evaluate the results.

• iMac to run out of memory system [Etrecheck report]

  I have an iMac 2013 end (27-inch, 3.2 GHz i5) with 24 GB RAM installed running OS X El Capitan 10.11.5). Whenever Safari is open, it slows down gradually until I get a message "your system is out of memory the application" and several applications have been suspended. I tried to reinstall the OS X without result.

  Once a report of Etrecheck indicates failure Drive with 19 errors, I contacted the Apple Support. The tech support guy was not familiar with Etrecheck, but don't think it was a defective drive. He had me DOWNLOAD & running Malwarebytes (did not find anything), create a Test user (which looked OK) and accompanied me through the removal of the caches in the library in my own user (which seemed to work for a while). He seemed anxious to finish my problem, so I let it go. Then he started to slow again. Subsequent reports of Etrecheck showed still drive failure but with only 2 to 5 errors. Now the drive seems fine.

  Safari seems to be the cause. I deleted several tabs and off most of the extensions, but it did not help.

  Here is the current Etrecheck report:

• iMac external drive does not

  Two days ago, my iMac 2013 end ceased to recognize the external CD/DVD drive I have been connected to it for more than 12 months. Put just the blank disc in the drive resulted in a lot of rumbling and resonate but nothing appear on the screen. Tried a CD and DVD and there nothing either. Did a hard reset and it stopped recognizing the drive at all, so I assumed that the drive was defective.

  Bought a new drive, connected to one of the USB ports and nothing; won't even turn on. Tried different ports and still nothing. Just to be on the safe side, tried other devices on ports and they are beautiful, it seems that the readers of CD/DVD is having a problem with.

  I reset again, turned off and unplugged the power, and it made no difference.

  Someone at - it help him?

  Try to make as an SMC STROLLER and resets. I suggest you reset SMC 2 or 3 times. For reset instructions can be found in the iMac SMC and the PRAM reset

• Migrating to SATA drive to iMac

  Four days ago my MacPro (2010) died. I have four 3 "SATA drives from 1 to 2 to each of Mac Pro. The computer was for business and personal use. Absolutely everything (including financial information) I have is on these four discs, including redundant copies of some files, but also my Time Machine backup.

  I will have an envelope coming tomorrow which is a RAID box but will be executed in the independent drive with four drives Mode. My 'new' computer is an iMac (2013), that was given to me.  The iMac and the main SATA drive running the same version of the operating system. I need to resolve this issue quickly so I can return to work. In the immediate future, I intend to operate out of the primary SATA drive to catch up, and then transfer when I'll have a good time to transfer.

  My question is the best way to get the entire contents of the primary SATA drive on the iMac's hard drive. I want everything that is on the main SATA drive to put to be on the iMac (including the prefs and hidden folders) of Mac Pro and it would be the same when I booted the Mac Pro.

  Can I use migration utility, clone the drive SATA main to the iMac or even use the Time Machine backup?

  If I clone the drive, I know that I would have to boot from one disk other than the iMac drive to clone to the iMac. When the primary SATA drive is attached, I need to boot from it by holding down the option key at startup key to select the startup disk.

  If I use the Migration utility, it seems I start the iMac, and then run the utility to the iMac of the SATA drive range, which would be connected to the iMac. This would replace all the information on the iMac even though it was the boot drive?

  I printed the information on the Migration of Apple Mac help when transferring to another storage device, but it's not quite clear to me.

  Finished migration

• Target Disk Mode - MacBook is not mounted in the desktop iMac

  I have a MacBook to 2015 and a cable USB-A-USB-C marked 'SS '.  In November 2015, I might start my MacBook in TDM and plug it into my iMac 2013 and see him mount on the desktop.  I could then synchronize some of the files (using synchronize folders) and have up-to-date on my MacBook.  Both computers running El Capitan.

  But about 3 months ago this system has stopped working.  Editing of my MacBook on the desktop iMac became sporadic and now never happens.  I have tried different cables, connected to different USB ports (the back of the iMac, iMac keyboard and a Flash to USB dock (Belkin)), but no joy.

  Has updated the firmware of computers?  El Capitan has stopped this feature very useful to work?

  Any ideas, anyone?

  As a work-around, there are other ways of synchronization of files between devices.

  iCloud Drive, Box, OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive. These will make everything you do.
