Late 2009 iMac Memory Card Slot Gone Bad?
My memory card seems to have stopped working. Is there a way I can tell if it's the memory real slot hardware vs whether software or my SD card.
I have reset PRAM and SMC. I had to reset the PRAM periodically to retrieve my startup chimes. I was wondering if they can be connected.
I did first aid utility disk on the map and it seems to be OK, for what is disk utility is.
It started with my card being ejected unexpectedly. If I reinsert the card, the card is not recognized. This would solve usually solve the problem until the next time.
Any help appreciated.
First thing to do is clean
a thin long brush, blower, vacuum.

Using Late 2009 Imac as external display for PC with display port 1.2
Hi all
Thanks for your time. I searched for a definitive answer to this question before I go ahead and make a purchase.
I have a Late 2009 Imac 27 ". I would like to use it as an external monitor for my new PC, which is a graphics card EVGA GTX 970 with a displayport 1.2 output. I'll be able to use a DisplayPort / mini displayport cable to connect to my Imac to use as an external monitor for my PC.
The Imac doesn't have the speed I need for photo editing but I like the contrast and the size of the screen offers.
Any input would be appreciated!

I have a late 2009 iMac. When I tried to upgrade to El Capitan. He said that the CHIP shows the h/d is a failure and can not be updated. I have install an external withEl of h/d Cap but it is very slow. the h/d is USB 3 but the iMac's USB 2. the h/d is only 5400 RPM. a 7200 RPM 7 / would accelerate the iMac?
No, because the limiting factor is the computer is USB 2.0, which is how it connects any external drive apart the external drive. As USB 2.0 is much slower, there is no real advantage to a 7200 RPM drive. What you need is a Firewire enclosure that supports FW800 which is much faster than USB 2.0.

my memory card for my digital camera does not work when I put it in the memory card slot
I use vista and a emachine El 1200-07w. It worked last week I just stuck the memory card and a menu pops up saying what are the options I could do (for example, open the folder, etc.) now, when I put the memory card in nothing happens, but if the memory card is in when the computer is turned on, then he will say new hardware detected but it can't find a driver for it. Why is it does not work now, but was last week and how the hell can solve this problem. I have no software for my digital camera, I always just went out the memory card it stuck in the memory card slot and it was very good. It's just a less expensive memory card (Lexar) I have a 2 GB and 128 MB and will no longer work. Thanks for any help!
Hi, I hope you can follow this. Remove the storage card from the computer, then go to control panel
then
Device Manager
Expand portable devices
the type of memory card slots should be listed if your type is a yellow triangle in it,
Right-click on it and choose uninstall.
It should reinstall it automatically or when you put the memory card in the slot.
This type of fault is often caused by not using material on the taskbar does not safely remove request. -
Attempt to analysis of Images from a memory card. My computer has a memory card slot, but I get Message no detected scan. Shortly it will scan even if I get this message but then I can't find the images. Where will the images when you scan Windows Internet Explorer?

Please specify exactly what you're trying to do. What you say makes no sense. To scan an image, you need a scanner. A scanner is a bit like a camera. You put a piece of paper in the scanner and it 'take a picture' of it and save the image. This process is called "scanning".
If you cannot scan an image from a memory card.

The memory card slot reads 'no photos on memory card' when it is inserted into the slot... He used to work very well... it just started it a month or two it y a. I have a HP psc 2175 all-in-one printer. Is - fixable? Thank you
Have you tried another card?
If the card used to work have tried in any other device to see if it will read it?
If you buy another card SD Please note
New memory cards are SD HC card, if they are greater than 2 GB.
This printer will not read SD HC, that they were not avalible when this printer was designed originally.
The printer will show 1 GB and 2 GB cards very well that these are not the high capacity cards, there are some 4 GB not HC cards around, but they are very rare.
Sorry it's a physical restraint of an older printer.

I had photoshop on my windows now the graphics card has gone bad and you want to move to my MAC I pay every month and I am a student, so, how can I transfer accounts until I get a new computer
If you are on subscription, you just install it on your new computer and sign in with your ID Adobe that you used to buy PS when you arrive up to two installs, it will tell you that you have exceeded you install limit and asks if you want to disconnect other computers. Just so disconnect you. No need to have to disable or call Adobe!

Late 2009 iMac Sierra gel &; incomplete close
Hi all
I did a clean install of Sierra on my iMac late 2009, 3.60 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, the 12 GB of RAM, a 1 TB drive, ATI graphics card. Everything seemed to happen. Now, I have two problems:
1. at least twice daily than the iMac just hangs. The mouse moves, but can not select anything. Cmd - Tab will not pass applications. Keyboard does not respond. All I can say is that I always Mail, Safari, & Open Office 4.1.2 running. Have to hold the power button to turn off and restart.
2. at the end of the day, when I stopped, the process is not finished and I just get a black screen (computer for desktop is black, but the items on the desktop are not visible), with the only docking station. Still, the only way out seems to be to hold down the power button to turn off.
Anyone else having these issues? Is it that I can save for a clean install of Yosemite that worked perfectly before?
Many thanks in advance,
gimbers

Restore default without disk late 2009 iMac
Can HI anyone help? I tried to restore an iMac 2009 end to the factory setting but I don't have the original disc, apple support said I could try the disk of snow leopard on their Web site, but this may not work and he didn't now I'm stuck in the boot OSX disc and cannot remove the disc or do hard recovery by pressing the command and r at the beginning. I managed to erase the drive hard all the time, were not able to reinstall OS x.
Is it gone forever? Any answer would be great.
Recovery of the Internet only is not supported on iMacs 2009. Snow Leopard retail disk should work as I believe version 10.6.3 and end of 2009 iMacs come with 10.6.2. What happens when you try to install from the disc of detail? Your last resort may be to call Apple, give them your serial number and order a set of replacement original discs.

late 2009 iMac desktop computer - time to go?
My desktop iMac computer has six years this month, [late 2009 model] and provided the fault all this free time. I have upgraded the RAM 12 GB of 8 GB a year ago.
My iMac is linked to a Maxtor external drive old eight year which runs on Firewire 400 [Mac is up to 800]. External drives is full at 85%, while the internal drive of the Mac is only 10% full.
The IMac is scrambling to run Photoshop elements 13. It's just excruciatingly slow in editing, but OK mode to the Organizer. It is also slow, but less than software image of Macphun so editing running creative Kit 2016.
This slow performance is noticeable when I went to 13 items in Photoshop. I wonder if it's related to the lack of speed by updating the internal hard drive and make the Time Machine backups running every hour so at the time where he finished one, it's almost time to start over. Recovery from the external drive is OK.
To get a new 2 TB external hard drive, to say I seem to need firewire 800 and Thunderbolt. LaCie is the brand only I found which is an external hard drive at once [Thunderbolt will be required when I buy a new IMac]. My IMac built in wifi is not compatible with the new Apple Time Capsule.
The problem has a number of different options available. Who would you?
I have 2 mid iMacs 2007 that work very well.
You have been the victim of misinformation.
There are well 2 t (and more) disks that use USB or FireWire available. No necessary crush.
WiFi from your iMac is compatible with the new Apple Time Capsule.

Update late 2009 iMac 21.5 "GPU
I have a 21.5 "iMac, 3.06 GHz Core 2 duo with a SSD and 8 GB of RAM. The video card is the NVIDIA GeForce 9400 with 256 MB of VRAM. Is it possible with this model, to level or replace the GPU at all? May not deal at all with Final Cut Pro. I use El Capitan.
Otherwise, I'll continue to use my MacBook Pro with Radeon R9, but I would if it had a better GPU.
Thank you in advance,
