iMac 21.5 material several bugs

My imac 21.5 (medium model 2010) suddendly started showing several hardware problems in just a few months. First of all, the DVD player, then the hard drive HD and video card now broken. I have invested a lot of money, time and lost all information. What do you think? Is it worth it to fix it, or is it better to throw it away and buy a new computer? I Don t want to spend more beacause perhaps tomorrow, I got a new bug. I use Mac for over 25 years and is the first time that I suffer from this accumulation of disasters.

FWIW, a DVD and a HARD drive in a computer 6 years failed is not really

seem surprising stuff.  All the computers I've owned or used

at work, the first such failure was the DVD/CD drive.  Hard drives,

mechanical devices, can have life short or very long life

but at some point will eventually fail.

To the extent where what to do, the technology has advanced a bit

Since 2010 and no later than the latest software and operating systems take

advantage of it.  In addition, the spare parts for an old computer as

get more rare and more rare and repair will be at some point will become

impossible.

So, bottomline is to ask, "is the cost of repair is worth the penalty or spend money.

for something new and better way to go? "The answer is something only

You can decide.

  • my iMac and paramedics have a bug

    iMac (end 2013) 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5;  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3;  El Capitan 10.11.5

    I had big problems with iTunes for years; developed but many more issues with Apple and other applications, data "disappear." quiting apps; need to reboot, etc., so took the Mac in a service center that has deleted all the data; reinstalled OSx and restored the backup data.  This solves none of the problems and they said it was therefore "a bug" that was on the iMac and the back-up, so the only recourse would be to remove all the data permanently and start from scratch.   Is there a possible way around this?  (I'm not savvy).  wise ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.

  • Several bugs in Photoshop CC2014

    I've been running CC2014 (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign) for a few weeks now and I have experienced several problems, especially with Photoshop.

    They are as follows:

    • Random crashing
    • Failed to remove the layers except by dragging to the trash icon in the palette - by clicking on the icon of the Recycle Bin or by selecting "Delete layer" on flying pallet does not work
    • Remove the hidden layers function on flying pallet does not work
    • Cannot close the images unless I have record first - a typical example would be a PDF that I opened to record on a JPG and PNG file and I can close the file after save as PNG or JPG unless I have save the file as a PSD or PDF file first. Other images I opened that are native PSD files and a backup - like JPG does not allow me to close unless recording first that the PSD file. Very frustrating!
    • Plugin compatibility issues (I know, thanks to a staff member of oh-so-useful Adobe (NOT) part of the problem lies perhaps with developers of plug-ins, but it is always a question related to the PS, while I'm there for reference).
    • Did I mention a random crash?

    Everyone knows about these and other issues with PSCC14?

    Adobe plans to release a bug fixed for these questions? I don't know there are other bugs - I have not come across them again.

    Bingo. I think I found the problem. Looks like when I installed 2014 he pulled forward to a PlugIn Extensis since my last version of CC so I was running the old version of CS7 of the plugin as well as the new version of 2014. I don't know why this would have caused specific problems, I saw, but I trashed the CS7, rebooted version Photoshop and feel no suppression layer problems, narrow image issues, etc.

    Sorry for my frustration - I've asked about it in an earlier discussion and the Adobe employee who responded was not helpful at all and scored in the end she 'responded' without ever really providing assistance. Thanks for the suggestion on the run without plugins - he has led me to the solution.

  • Power failed and now iMac trying to reboot several times

    Continuous power failed and computer try to restart Gets the part of the journey through the bar on the screen, then restarts.

    -iMac 27 "equipped with the latest system and all software are uptodate.

    -All the devices are disconnected.

    -Tried to hold down option, also I tried shift key and no change in the attempts to restart.

    -Unplug the power cord for a few minutes, but no help.

    Any other suggestions?

    Try to do a reset of the PRAM, if this does not work try starting on the (command-R) recovery Partition at startup and run disk utility - repair disk. If errors appear on your hard drive is damaged and must be replaced.

  • Release date for VCS x8.2.1 to fix several bugs of OpenSSL (CSCup25151)

    Hi all

    We are offshore on the endless power level and patch the path with the imminent release of the x8.2.1 to fix another bug in OpenSSL (among others) which are potentially more dangerous than the question of the HeartBleed of a few months back. Notice of Cisco was sent near earlier (18/07/2014), which suggests that CSCup25151 of bug will be fixed in x8.2.1. I just check the download site and it doesn't seem to be available yet. Any idea on when this might be?

    I wonder also if additional fixes will be needed for the C/SX CODECs (and other), the line TC of the software running. As far as I can see, bug reference CSCup25163 covers some of these issues in the TC7.1.4 version (already out) but I'm assuming that another rejection would be next - or make any remaining issues of OpenSSL (listed for VCS above) does not affect the line of code TC?

    See you soon

  • Several Bugs of InlineGraphic

    InlineGraphics are not always displayed on the load in the event of several paragraphs, say - and reappear when change the paragraphs/TextLines they are in and errors occur when you try to navigate to InlineGraphics 'hidden '.
    Please run the attached code for demonstration.
    After loading, the film displays only the flash logo and red rectangles. If you place the cursor somewhere and hold [down arrow] key, errors (trace below) occur.
    so, if you change the "xyz" the blue rectangles appear.
    Now scroll down until the graphics are off the screen. When you scroll back and select one of the graphics (or text in the same paragraph), they disappear, but still occupy the space and can be selected. Editing in their respective paragraphs leads them to reappear.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

  • Several Bug monitor?

    I have fusion 6.0.1 running on my Macbook Pro 2.5 GHz Core i7, 16 GB RAM, OSX 10.8.5

    When I put a windows VM (Win7 or XP) mode full-screen, it works fine.  However, when the virtual machine in sleep/lock mode screen after 10 minutes of inactivity and I have to reconnect, the monitor will resize to one screen and set it free in mirror mode.   Very annoying.  The only way I found to solve is to change the display to stop and then again in full screen.  He

    I don't have this problem with the Fusion 5.x.

    Except decommissioning which will take more time that I have for the moment, any ideas?

    Thank you

    Ken

    Ken,

    By default, the display turns off after 10 minutes.

    I was able to reproduce this problem with following steps:

    1. set up window 7 GOS to use two screens.

    2 set the screen saver to start after 1 minute with "On Resume, the logon screen" checked.

    10:03 minutes, the extended display is black after re - login to the window GOS; and the console of the virtual computer is displayed on the main screen only.

    I have to go single mode and switch back to use two screens.

    Could see this problem on the two merger 6.0.1 and 5.0.3.

    I think there are two workarounds for this problem solution:

    1. set 'disable the display' to 'never' get rid of the issue of change power settings.

    2. uncheck the "View summary, logon screen" the screen saver settings.

    I would hire with our dev for that matter.

  • I want to reset iPad photos so it clones my iMac Photo Album via a cable. Get weird iPad 1/2 albums I don't want. How?

    Something weird is going on my iPad 2 aerial, with the remains and partial albums. I have always used a direct connection cable USB-lightning to synchronize. My iMac photo album is perfectly formed, sorted, etc. I want to have pictures of my iPad to wipe all the photos, and then clone that I have on my pictures to the iMac. No muss, no fuss.

    Then go ahead, I want both of them to sync.

    I've tried enabling iPad iTunes > Photos > synchronize Photos (both TOGETHER and SELECTED (with all selected).) I end up getting half of the albums, they aren't right key group, bad photo, etc.

    I already copied all the pictures I want from my iPad to my iMac, so I'm fine with losing everything that my iPad Photos has, as long as it takes all my iMac photos and on the copy material.

    Best way to do this?

    Latest versions of iOS and El Capitan.

    Bonus question. iPad Photos wants to import many (many) photos to Photos of the iMac. These images already exist. If I select all import them, is smart enough to go, synchronization "is a dup so I don't bother. Or I'm going w / duplicates ruin my iMac Photos? Having several hundred pictures showing whenever I have connect my iPad and then view it on my iMac annoys Photos app.

    Thank you very much!

    I'm sure that you know--he put the photos in iTunes and then sync them to iPad - not sure from Photos - Mac directly, works

    That said, I think I know that photos are stored with a specific tag, and if you import the same image twice, it will be stored again with another tag creates a duplicate

    If possible try with just an image and see what happens

    Also, if you don't want pictures opens automatically as soon as the connection of the iPad - there is a box at the top left which you can uncheck
