IMac 24 inch early 2009 as a display of macbook air 2012
I want to use the Imac 24 inch early 2009 version as a screen for my macbook air 2012? I don't know if it will work?
Thanks for the help!
No, your early 2009 is too old. The first iMacs that could be used are models 27 "late 2009 through the use of your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

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

What is the speed for OS 10.10 on 13-inch, early 2009
My 13-inch, Early 2009 MacBook runs with OS 10.9.5 basically OK on speed, and it's a very good, loaded with the fine software is useful but old and slow sometimes with all additional popups and deflect and is very nervous about the links I don't want and mail that I didn't delete.
The system is pushing me to the update/update 10.10 and I continue to resist the Apple push, the fear of losing what I have and I'm really happy with.
I was looking for the answer among existing similar concerns, but did not get the simple answer and clear what will I win by the new OS 10.10.
My fear is real or just scared?
Apple has removed 10.10.5 and 10.11.5 from the App Store, so only your option upgrade is 10.12.

I bought a disc of Lightroom6 for Mac. Can I use the license even om my two ibooks and iMacs at the same time? Given that the macbook air doesn't have a hard drive, is it possible to copy on a USB drive?
You have two activations and no more. If you need to register a third party, you will need to purchase another package. Yes, the installers can be copied to any media that you consider appropriate.

iMac (20 inch, early 2008) will not restart after that put 10.11.4 updated
Plug the iMac:
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB
After the download is finished installing, I clicked to restart. When the computer restarts a gray screen with the Apple logo appears with a progress bar indicating "Installing Software Update". The progress bar begins to move slowly and stops after about 1/8th of an inch. It does not move little matter how long wait. I tried to reboot safe mode, but I get the same thing.
I have really no idea what to do. I searched online and found several suggestions that go beyond my technical skills.
See if you can restore OS X by using the command + R key combination.

Ethernet card not being detected on my iMac 20-inch early 2008
Hello
A few days ago my ethernet started playing up on my mac. I tried different cables and routers but no solution. All my other devices are very well via the same port. I tried to remove and then add a configuration in the network system preferences tab, but the ethernet option is now missing.
Then, I went into system information and found a mean message:
I really need help. A Wi - Fi connection is good enough for me.
By chance I just started having this problem, too. Yesterday everything was ok and I have disabled by Mac before hitting the bed; This morning the Integrated NIC is no longer detected and I have the exact symptoms that you have.
A few extras:
(1) I have boot camp, and the NETWORK adapter still works perfectly when it is started in Windows
(2) I use a power adapter carrier online, and the led indicates that the cable is connected. as soon as I unplug the end of my mac, it turns off
(3) I did PRAM reset without success and SMC
(4) I started in diagnosis and everything is ok; I carried on the forest, where you can browse the site of support, and it worked even with wifi disabled, so clearly he was going off the coast of my wired connection
(5) I started in recovery and had the same experience as point 4 - the network card worked perfectly
If all this seems to indicate something being off on the BONE itself.

Can I update to El Capitan directly from Lion? I have an iMac 24 "early 2009. I want to do this?
I think the Lion upgrade completely to El Capitan. First of all, can I do this? I have an IMac in early 2009. Are there reasons why I wouldn't want to do that?
Well, we can tell you that you should or should not pass, that decision is yours alone. We can tell you the benefits of upgrading, but ultimately, it is for you to take advantage of them if you wish.
To upgrade to El Capitan, your computer must be one of the following conditions:
- iMac (mid-2007 or newer)
- MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium)
- MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
- MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)
- Mac mini (early 2009 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
So, if you have a 2009 iMac, then Yes, your computer can handle the upgrade. You would from the App Store. If you choose, make sure that you back up your system with Time Machine or something like CarbonCopyCloner. Obviously, the upgrade: a more stable, secure system, and that you use the latest version of Safari, which is more stable and more secure than previous iterations.

Cannot update software on MacBook - white, early 2009
I'm new to Mac OS. I only got the iPad and iPhone.
I bought an antique MacBook, white/early 2009.
-OS x 10.6.8 4 GB of ram, 107 GB available hard - not SSD disk
Great, runs fast. The case seems new, perfect condition.
It is said there are updates available, for many things, but they won't install. I have download, the system begins to restart, but remains on the desktop with wallpaper only - no icons, etc. Manual reboot simply cancels the update process.
I don't need this notebook, I just want to get some applications or programs that connect with applications on my other devices, but this version OSX is too old. Therefore, I made a mistake buying this MacBook - only error of $100. Don't know if I'll keep it. However, it is pretty sweet.
Please use the numbers of the BONE, if possible, when you reply. I don't know the names of the different versions - like Maverik, El Capitan, etc..
Thank you
The computer that you identified as MacBook5.2 (13-inch early 2009)
should be able to run El Capitan OS X 10.11.6 as it is downloaded from
the Mac App Store online. This is the download of the available system only
which would be upgraded to the latest OS X.
Other than this free update, the other option would be to buy a
old Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 redemption code Online
Apple Store, which would then be used in the App Store for download;
It would cost $19.99 (buy at the Apple Store; download App Store)
Don't know what you found or tried to download. Remember if you try
to use the Mac App Store since in Snow Leopard, you
Use your own AppleID because all updates and upgrades will bind the
OS X computer and just bought the software to your AppleID.
And any subsequent owner of this computer should adapt
the Snow Leopard 10.6.8 using App Store database. The
model that you probably won't be able to use the next OSX
not yet released version; El Capitan is what should be judged.
If you upgrade to a system later has no install DVD media,
the owner later would need boot Snow Leopard 10.6.3
the retail DVD and then update. While they could use their AppleID to
Customizing the computer for their own use. So to enter the
install the disc media for the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 system with the
computer, is a key to set up for future upgrade online users.
There are other details in the present, perhaps someone can offer those
because I need to be offline now.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can I upgrade my 24 inch Dual Core IMac (early 2009) 4 GB ddr3 1067 Mhz RAM 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz? I read that it only can be upgraded to a maximum of 8 GB but I'm not sure whether that was when they were sold or if the maximum capacity of the computer can take.
Thank you for your help,
Jacques Bizot
You can upgrade the RAM, but 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz is NOT designed for your iMac. Please use the RAM specifications correct, iMacs are extremely sensitive to the RAM and require the correct specifications and high quality RAM. Advanced users on these forums tend to recommend Crucial (buy directly from them) or if you are in the USA, RAM from OWC (www.macsales.com).
Do not buy RAM in your store, the local computer or cheap RAM at best, it's probably a waste of time and at worst it will simply not work.

Can I connect 1080 p TV 48 "to my iMac in early 2009
If I use a mini port screen hdmi adapter, can I connect a TV external 48 "1080 p on my iMac in early 2009.
EveryMac.com seems to say there is a limit of 30 ", but they throw in some dimensions of the screen of
2600 x 1600 and I don't know how this fits - I get my TV is 1080 p - 1920 x 1200?
Any clarification would be appreciated.
Take a look-> On Mini DisplayPort to HDMI - Apple Support adapters
You shouldn't have any problem due to the size of your TV, but more probably to the resolution of your TV. However, your iMac supports up to 2560 x 1600 resolution for an external display and your TV got a lower resolution (1920 x 1080), so it should work.
(Please note that your iMac does not support streaming audio via the Mini DisplayPort connector, then you will not get audio on your TV).
