• 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.

  MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

  < re-titled by host >

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

  http://eShop.MacSales.com/MyOWC/

  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 mid-2010: list of compatible HARD drive

  Hello

  I need to replace the hard drive of my iMac 21.5 mid 2010. I thought that any SATA drive would work, but after studying a bit I discovered the issue of thermal sensor. So my question is: are there at - there somewhere a list of compatible drives? I can't find any information on this subject.

  I'm not going to replace the drive myself, but I would like to know the options.

  Thank you

  Luis

  You don't necessarily have to get a special player.  There are interface cables

  available that have a temperature probe attached to it.  See:

  http://eShop.MacSales.com/item/OWC/DIDIMACHDD09/

  This cable simply connects between the new drive and the cable of the iMac.

  Using this cable, you can install any available hard drive.

• iMac mid-2010 for one SSD HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  After reflection, (mainly in the meantime my principalement en attendant mon iMac iMac starts!), I decided to replace the HDD with a SSD. After having done some research and I watch YouTube videos, I'm not sure if I have bought the right tools for the job. Could someone please help me and let me know if I'm not on the right track here.

  The iMac in question is a model 27 "2010.

  Here's what I have on order:

  • Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD
  • OWC online Thermal Sensor HDD upgrade 2009-2010 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017OEQKV2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie= UTF8 & PSC = 1
  • Kingston Technology 2.5 to 3.5 inches support and live for SSD - UTF8 & PSC = 1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DGL2X7I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=
  • 2 x cable high quality Original SATA 6 GB/s 3 - Gigabyte https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BBYOD3E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie= UTF8 & PSC = 1

  I also ordered suction cups and relevant screwdrivers.

  I intend to completely remove the current HD and its replacement by the new SSD. Am I right assuming that I will just remove current thermal sensor cable and replace it with the one OWC? I'm not 100% on this one.

  Cheers in advance

  Ian

  Yes, you just remove the thermal sensor and place the OWC in line sensor (the sticker pad can be placed on the support of 2, 5-2, 5 (as the SSD will not have a lot of heat).  The longer a cable must be re-attached the logic board.

  The only suggestion I have would be - it probably need not SATA cables for this-> upgrade SSD HARD drive, thermal line sensor is long enough - in fact, too long that I had to press them to be shaped in the iMac.  Unless you plan to add other SSD in the system, since the iMac 2010 with SATA 2 (3 GB/s speed).

  Good luck

• Cost of repair disk HARD mid-2010 iMac

  I was wondering, how can I expect to pay to have my 1 TB HARD drive I replaced my iMac mid-2010? Is not an exact number, just a ball park figure.  I found a few DIY videos, make the repair, I just don't feel comfortable fact myself. I have an Apple Store 20 minutes from my house.  I tried to call Apple, but they tell me over the phone.  I am 100% positive it's HARD drive and I have a recent backup via time machine.

  Thanks in advance

  The only way to make sure is to take in, but you already know that. I heard between $200 and $300

• manufacture of mid-2010 iMac long beep during use

  My iMac mid-2010 recently started to long, high-pitched sounds of snoring randomly - normally after it has been for some time. I recorded the sound but can't seem to be attached to this post.

  Last night, he did a single, long and serious beep (like an old Atari or something) - it's like the sound on this link, but it does only once. https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Zbmx_555fcE

  Anyone has any ideas on what could happen?

  Thank you!

  Tony

  Normally this beeps indicate memory RAM problems. You can try to take a MEMORY first and see if it gets better. If this is not the case, try a different RAM and check if it makes a difference.

  All iMac Mid 2010 use modules of PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz SO - DIMM 204 pins.

  See > install memory in an iMac - Apple Support

  Problem is that the Mac is very picky and not just any PC3-10600 1333 MHz modules will work.

  Your best bet is to buy for providers like OWC and Crucial memory modules that specialize iMac RAM.

• mid-2010 iMac slower afer is upgraded to El Capitan

  Hi all

  I ran EtreCheck (thanks Allan!); details below.

  Also ran AHT & it showed no problems

  I installed an SSD in December machine considered fast - then installed El Capitan and he slowed, & I think it's gotten worse in recent weeks.

  Symptoms:

  • delays of beach ball
  • Some applications and files are very slow to open
  • using bluetooth keyboard & mouse - cursor seems to get hung up in emails, etc. (& same jumps around tasks randomly once in a while - JUST started using the mouse & keyboard cable; so far, not sure they are better.)
  • using iCloud for most documents.  The files are slow to open, but Cnet speed test shows that 20-30 MB/s download speed.

  I do not know is that a "clean install", but I had no problem (obvious) El Cap installation.

  With the SSD and 20 GB of RAM, this machine should always work for some time, Yes?

  Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.

  The only obvious thing that I see is that your RAM is installed incorrectly. It should be in pairs, your is wrong in pairs. The Bank 0 and Bank 1 should have identical RAM installed.   You also have a very old version of Parallels installed. If you use Windows yet then upgrade of Parallels and if you uninstall according to the developers.

• Re-install Snow Leopard to a notice of Imac I3 mid-2010?

  Hello

  I have already received some good answers in another thread, but it had a different title, so I thought that I post here and maybe some members will more experience with this:

  I just bought a used Imac which is currently being shipped to me.  Here are the specs: mid-2010 21.5 inches screen, model A1311, series: W8114294DAS, Intel Core I3 3.06 ghz processor.

  He will come running to El Capitan, but they advised me to wipe the drive and reinstall the original operating system, which is the snow leopard, and then upgrade from there to El Capitan, with my own Apple ID. However, it seems to be difficult with this particular model. If the computer is initially supplied with Snow Leopard 10.6.4. My drive of detail might not work for the re - install.  I was told that Apple would be able to ship me a custom. I've also read about yet another thread that maybe these models came with a slightly different version of Snow Leopard, and this is why the retail CD may not work, even if the computer came with version 10.6.3. and it would be better to get a custom. Is this true?

  Then there may be a problem with an update of the firmware that the computer may or may not have and which could cause problems (not allow Snow Leopard install at all, or instead to install Lion). Is it possible to say if he had this update and maybe disable it before attempting to erase and install Snow Leopard?

  Does anyone have advice/stories to share before I actually try it? Or what would be the best way to go about this? I thought that I would try my SL CD detail first, and I hope that it will work. Otherwise, I could order the CD on measure and try this one. If I can't erase, at least I didn't damage, but what happens if I erase the disc, but then failed to install Snow Leopard? I was left with a blank computer. Or I would be able to install it once the disc has been erased?

  Someone also said using SuperDuper may erase the disc elsewhere or at least to make a back-up? I have not used before. There is no personal information on the computer again, I would try to re - install before anything else, so I just need a way to install El Capitan under my Apple ID, then I'll be able to install updates, or even a new operating system, as it becomes available.

  Is there a risk to try to use my SL CD detail if it allows me to erase and install (such as the installation of the 'wrong' version of Snow Leopard)?

  Here is the link to the original thread: purchases used Imac tips?

  Thanks for any idea!

  You can try this much easier.

  1 - Connect to App store with your apple ID.

  2 - install download 10.11 - he will say that you have already installed just 10.11 to proceed.

  3. create a usb installation program.

  4 - start the installer - erase hard drive and install a clean copy of 10.11

  5. place the iMac with your apple ID.

  Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

• iMac 21 inch mid-2010 with OSX 10.9.5 4 GB

  Have inherited an inch Imac 21 mid-2010 with OSX 10.9.5 running - I don't know much about Mac computers so no idea if snow leopard etc or what!

  This iMac is not iCloud drive available to sync with the latest iPhones etc.

  Is it possible to upgrade the operating system on this iMac to run the latest apps & iCloud etc.

  Don't really know where to start...

  Thank you

  You have OSX Mavericks. The next OS is Yosemite 10.10 and 10.11 El Capitan.

  You can upgrade the free OS for Mac by the opening of the App Store on the computer. When you click on "Updates", there is a large window which shows the next OSX update for your computer.

  On a computer from 2010, the most recent operating systems may appear slower. It really depends on the State of your hard drive and also the RAM. With 4 GB of RAM, you shouldn't have a problem (every BONE just 2 GB). However, and the older hard drive may have trouble keep in touch with the requirements of the operating system, which makes the computer slower.

  The best thing to do is to make a backup of data is installed on the computer, then just go for it. Worse comes to worse you can always restore the computer with the back facing upwards.
