• 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.

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

  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).

• iMac 27 2010 graphics card / ram problem

  Hello - read through the form and try to isolate the problem.  A week ago my end 2010 iMac 27 I7, 12 GB of Crucial Ram, OSX Yosemite went screwy - icons went fuzzy, and the system has just stopped responding. I tried not just pull the plug, but the computer was out of order, so I had to pull the plug. Please keep in mind it was a day hot here in New York and I've come for a quick moment to remove some files and did not close the windows a turn on the AC, so they probably overheated system or so I guess

  Anyway, after a few hours and I came back home and turned back on the iMac. Immediately, I noticed some pale red bans on the screen. The system has been restarted slowly and then it stop at halfway however and just go to the gray screen. I did a reboot, re-installed the operating system made the system check, but the failure of operating system to kick when I do a normal restart, and I am only able to operate the computer in Mode safe.

  Is there a way I can understand if the RAM is the question, the graphics card, or if it's the OS? A faulty graphics card will prevent the system from starting normally? I have the same question when I open it on safe mode?

  I'm trying to see if there is a way to save the iMac and get more use out of it, but at the same time a few years if it's gong to fix an expensive that I can't do on my own, so maybe its not worth what's now 5-6yrld of fixing iMac little matter how the computer cost me back in 2010.

  Thanks for your help and sorry if this question has been answered countless times before.

  Most likely graphics card problem...

  Note:

  One way to test is to boot from the HD, (now shift key at startup), run utility disk in Applications > utilities, then highlight your reader, click on repair permissions, test for problem in Mode safe...

  PS. secure boot can remain on the gray radian for a long time, let go, he's trying to repair the hard drive & trash/rebuild the cache files

  Reboot, try again.

  If it does so only in ordinary chest, there could be a problem material such as Video card, (the Quartz is disabled in Safe Mode), or airport, some USB or Firewire devices, or the module in part 3, Check System Preferences > accounts (users and groups in later versions of OS x) > login items window to see if she or something relevant is listed. Or a stray process eating RAM.

• iMac G3 Rev a faulty Ram?

  Hello, I have a G3 Rev A iMac that will refuse to start when the ram is improved.

  The specifications are:
  G3 233 Mhz
  Hard drive 32 GB with OS X 10.3
  96 MB of Ram (1 32MB and 1 64MB)

  The machine will start and run fine but when I replace the 64MB stick with a 256 MB stick and try to start, it will just play the chime start and do nothing. The screen never kicks on and it won't start. If I put the old 64 MB stick in it will start normally.

  I don't know if the ram of 256 MB stick is incompatible or defective. The 256 MB stick is shown below.

  What try in another location?

• iMac is not using available RAM

  My 2010 27 "iMac (running Capitan) use not all of the available memory. I have 8 GB and up until 1 month ago it used every last bit of RAM (as it should). However, since then he has been leaving 1, 5-2 GB of free throughout the day, no matter what I do, and my understanding of the operating system, it's that I should * not * take this as a good sign. Adds that the fact that I have reason to believe that my HARD drive is almost its disappearance and I'm not thrilled on the additional workload, it is probably ignoring manipulation of programs available RAM (and Yes, they've all been gloomy at the end).

  I know there are a lot of intel I leave so please ask away.

  Thank you

  Ivan

  OS X will use as much or as little RAM as it should.  Having RAM unused is not a problem in and of itself. It simply means that the Mac does not require that it based on the workload, it is put under currently.

  There is really no reason to be alarmed of the it. Especially if the pressure indicator of memory in the activity monitor application is displayed in green. Really, there is no way to force the OS X to use up RAM.

  If your hard drive is questions and slow down things, which should have no impact on the use of the RAM at all.

  You might want to think about a new hard drive, however.

• Mid range iMac with 16 GB of RAM or Imac 4 k with 8 GB?

  Hello

  I have some doubts about my purchase between this two imac. Now, I have a Macbook pro 15 "mid-2010, intel core i5 2, 53ghz, and I upgraded the ram from 4 GB to 8 GB two years ago. It works well, but little work with after effects (not professional) is so slow, just now, and other apps open like photoshop, illustrator(professional use) at the same time is not a good idea. I think that the CPU is limiting.

  So, I have two doubts:

  -J' I notice a significant difference in performance with a new imac like that?

  -If I decide finally buy a while ago, what could be the best decision to have a good computer for another 6 years and my work: mid-range imac with 16 GB or imac 4 k with 8 GB (two 21.5 because I prefer)? Top models are so much money for me.

  Thank you guys.

  (Sorry for my English is not my language)

  For "future verification", it is not wise to buy an iMac 21.5 "with less the amount of maximum available ram. 8 GB can be enough today that is not being upgraded after purchase and you may quickly regret your decision.

• iMac 5 k 64 gig RAM?

  OWC offers a concert 64 for the iMac of 5K and application it works perfectly.

  Has anyone tried this before?

  FWIW, I almost did, but at the point where they wanted $1000 + for the kit so I opted for the 32 GB kit. I'm sure 64GB kit works. OWC are certainly reputable.

• Can I upgrade an end iMac 2014 with 5 K retina display up to 64 GB RAM?

  Hi, I have an iMac with Retina Display 5 K at the end of 2014. It is maximally in each record except the RAM. I heard that the new iMac end 2015 can manage up to 64GB, despite what Apple has posted on their specifications (32GB). The end of 2014 iMac can also manipulate the 64 GB? My drive is 3 TB Fusion.

  Unfortunately, only the end of 2015 iMac supports 64 GB of RAM. IMac late 2014 can manage up to 32 GB of RAM, but nothing more.

• Can I put my 24 inch Dual Core IMac (early 2009) 4 GB ddr3 1067 Mhz RAM to 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz (it says maximum of 8 GB for this model)?

  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.

• Cannot increase the RAM in end-15 27 "iMac, retina

  This question drove me crazy.

  End of last year, I bought an iMac 27 "new retina (17.1 model) with 16 GB of RAM of factory. I have since decided to upgrade to 32 GB myself - but apparently not.

  I tried both levels of separate module of Crucial (both sticks 2x8GB, configured by using memory widget Crucial own the latter, so I think it was the 'right' RAM). Both times, after the installation, my iMac would not start. I get the kernel panic, then reboot after reboot goes no further than the Apple logo.

  Conjecturing that it must be a problem with Crucial RAM, I ordered two modules from OWC. This time, I realized an online chat with a Counsellor OWC just to make sure that the triple, I was getting the right modules.

  Result: same kernel panics, same inability to start. After you have uninstalled the aftermarket RAM my iMac works fine.

  And, Yes, I want to install RAM correctly (I did several times with previous computers that are much more difficult to upgrade). I also tried the papillotes in different slots (lots of combinations), switch reset PRAM, etc. etc. Nothing works.

  I wonder... all the stories of 'success' on Amazon and Crucial and OWC come people who completely REPLACE their factory in RAM with spare sticks? Seriously, I think that the issue is an incompatibility with the aftermarket RAM and the factory stuff. On the other hand, I am reluctant to throw 16 GB of perfectly good 'Apple' RAM just to open the four slots for 32 GB OWC.

  I know that Crucial has been (or is still) a provider of RAM to Apple, so this is really surprising.

  It is interesting to try to pick up sticks 'factory' (which will be costly, of course)? I believe that my 'Apple' RAM made by Samsung. Is there a reliable source for this?

  Or I'm doing something completely wrong? (Can't imagine what it would be. I've even been through a chat tech with OWC has nothing to help).

  In fact, I wonder if I now won't be able to max out my RAM (assuming I decide to eBay my Apple sticks and just go all new).

  Difficult for me to believe that the iMac is that picky about RAM...

  Thanks for the ideas.

  I do not have a 2015 end iMac, so I don't know if the problem which arose with iMac 2010 might be similar; before connecting a couple of these very long old threads, most of the problems was: the iMac 27 "would go happily with factory all the RAM, or with less of a mix of OEM and third party RAM (12 GB) max, but would have problems with 16 GB of third party RAM maxed out. I used to have a such 2010 and stayed with a total of 12 GB of RAM (OEM 4 GB and 8 GB of RAM from OWC) worked well.

  Other than the usual suspects such as faulty RAM, RAM slot, or not seated correctly, if you have time, you might want to try to install unless the maximum - it is a shot in the dark, but...

• 27 "iMac buying tips

  After waiting 2 years for an upgrade to the Mac Pro 2013, I decided to settle for a 27 "iMac.  "Read a few reviews that suggest the fastest iMac27 2015" 4.0 GHZ with 64 GB of ram is actually faster than the Mac Pro 2013 when working on 20 GB files in Photoshop.  It is the general consensus?

  As I wanted to buy this 4.0 GHZ iMac 27 "However, I don't see for sale at Apple.com or my store of the local computer.   I don't see a 3.3GHz version.   Apple.com also says the max RAM, you can install is 32 GB.    I see 30 different versions of a 4.0 GHZ on B & H well, but how can ensure me that I get the maxed out very fast available from 27 "iMac?  Faster processor, more ram, faster hard drive etc etc.  etc.

  Apple does not officially support 64GB, then buy the computer with 8 GB RAM database and then update yourself using OWC (www.macsales.com) RAM. Officially, Apple supports 32GB.

  If you want the fastest, don't you a hard drive. Buy an SSD.

  In addition, because you don't say what you plan to use the computer so that you are sure this is not only a waste of money buy a maxed out iMac? Just a question.

• iMac became very slow and unresponsive

  Hello

  I have an iMac which, in the last two days, suddenly became unusably slow. Almost every click brings up the spinning beachball even just after a reboot. iTunes cannot play a melody without pausing every minute or two. Same Safari is really slow, so I have still not tried more demanding such as Lightroom.

  Its an iMac mid 2010, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HD with 305 GB free. Im running El captain, 10.11.6

  Any ideas what could be causing this or what I could do to remedy the situation? IM thinking I have to go through the pain of wiping the hard drive and reinstall everything. But I'd really rather avoid because I was planning on getting a new iMac when they release then them and I don't want to go through all that process again.

  I hope someone has an idea of something I could try before doing this?

  Thank you.

  Andy

• 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.
