• Reset foolproof Mid 2010 iMac

  Hey people and our apologies in advance to those of you who are aware, I am the fool who needs protection against

  I am trying to reset the iMac family as it has been rumbling along for close to 6 years accumulating all the usual garbage. Multiple users, multiple libraries etc. My feeling is to do a factory reset and then spend some time setting the system manually rather than Time Machine etc. I know it's rather long, but I want to make sure that whatever it is on the iMac is here to design rather than a hangover or an oversight. I will also be implemented as a user to avoid the trash in a triple that we had before.

  so... the question is how to do the factory reset without risk. I took all the files that I want to disable external hard drives and I have TM backups too. My only concern is because it is a 2010 that I have more no disks. IS this a problem or I'll be able to use the Restorer online?

  If the computer is running Sierra what you can do is to restart in the recovery (command-R on startup) Partition

  Then, open disk utility and erase the internal HD ATTENTION! This will clean the HD.

  Then close THE, and then select install Mac OS and select the internal HD. This will install a clean version of Mac OS X on the computer.

  Once OS X is installed, select Restart and make sure that you choose the HD internal as boot drive. Once the computer restarts with your new version of Sierra you can start to install your applications and restore your files, settings, etc...

• 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.

  What I would do is to backup your data on an external drive,

  Restart the mac while holding the ⌘R until the apple logo appears and wait until the boot process is completed. It may take more time to start.

  Once in recovery mode select your preferred language, click on update or reinstall a copy of OS X., select your drive and wait for the process to do. (Also click on continue and accept all that)

  One time did Shutdown and finished reinstall then start in recovery mode again (⌘R) and then click on restore Time Machine backup and then use the backup that you have saved on your external drive. Do you know how to use time machine to back up data in system preferences?

• Trackpad will not iMac pair 2009 after upgrade to El Capitan

  After the upgrade to El Capitan on a 27-inch late 2009 iMac I'm more able to match a trackpad from Apple.  The trackpad works properly, because it pairs with a newer iMac.  Any ideas?

  If it is associated with something else, delete it from here. Bluetooth devices can only be associated with one thing at a time.

• Only 2 available ram slots, not 4 on 27 inch Mid 2010 iMac i3

  Hello

  Well, I'm puzzled.  I bought an iMac 27 inch, Intel Core i3 mid2010 news about 5 years ago. In the about this Mac it says 4 slots available, with only 2 in use (2 GB each).  This week I took it to a technician to install additional RAM and we discovered that the slots are not available. There is a molding hard plastic over them and in fact with a closer observation, that we noticed that even if I had to cut the moldings for the ram to connect. The tech denounces with Mac every day, because he's never seen it before.

  I just called Apple directly, and they have no idea why this would be.   Anyone else out there he never heard of this?

  Thank you, Darrell

  There are black plastic tabs that partially cover and returned to eject modules of ram installed. Get out the tabs, install the RAM and drag the tab back in. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+27-Inch+EMC+2390+RAM+Replacement/8828

• Bootcamp missing after upgrade to El Capitan

  Hi, I want to run Windows so that I can remove the ADS 'files' associated with the files I transferred to a Windows computer for Mac Pro (mid-2010) I.

  After the upgrade to El Capitan (or perhaps Yosemite, as I haven't used bootcamp for awhile) bootcamp will no longer appear when I hold 'alt' when starting.

  I use NTFS for Mac OS X by Paragon and the bootcamp partition appears in the Finder, and the files are accessible.

  I have a backup time machine in Mac OS X I have an El Capitan USB drive Installer.

  Disk0 is an SSD that would 744,91 for OS X and 253 GB of bootcamp.

  I read the posts here who have a similar problem, but my system seems to have an additional problem with a partition OS X 'extra' appearing in the readings (see below) that should not be there.

  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.
