• 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 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.

• Update the iMac 21.5 mid 2010 "with SSD

  Hi - I am interested in upgrading my iMac 21.5 mid 2010 "with an internal SSD. Have been reading the posts on the subject and I wanted to clarify a few points. As I understand it, there is not a spare drive Bay, so my options are to replace the existing drive, or replace the optical drive.

  My questions are:

  (1) is there a difference in meaning in performance in both options?

  (2) the location of the optical drive is a stable position (physically) to put a SSD?

  (3) if it is placed in the location of the optical drive, I'll be able to boot from the SSD drive?

  (4) I read that if you replace the hard drive, there is also a problem with a heat sensor that fans end up running a full speed, and you must download a software workaround solution, or get a special thermal sensor OWC. This applies also to put it in the optical Bay? Why or why not, and if not, is the drive always properly cooled? Not sure I quite understand that part.

  Thanks for any help,

  David

  I added an SSD for my iMac 2011. It has an extra SATA port, so I could leave the optical drive in place and put the SSD in behind it, while keeping the original HARD disk too.

  I think that 2010 models do not have this port, but the other World Computing would be able to confirm this on their site based on the available kits.

  1. you won't see any difference in performance in both positions. Note, the 2010 iMac uses ports SATA 3 G, so if you use a 6G SSD, it will only run at 3G speeds. Willl you always get a huge performance on the old HDD even gain at this slower speed.

  2. Yes, to use the available kits

  3. Yes the installer once you define which drive you want to boot from in system preferences > startup

  4. I think it's only valid for 2011 models, but still OWC kits will show if you need the adaptor cable. It does not apply in the optical drive. Cooling still works correctly if you use the kits to correct or additional software.

  Edit: just check out OWC, it seems that the thermal cable adapter is required for this model

  Edit 2: If you have never worked on electronics, I strongly suggest that you do not open the iMac yourself. If it is not particularly difficult if you are experienced, it is very easy to break something if you do not have this experience.

• iMac turns off unexpectedly...

  Hello

  I have a 2008 iMac and for some unknown reason then I use the screen turns off and does with the mouse or power button I still can hear the Mac works as it normally does when it is turned on. Is the problem that happens because I turn it off the PowerPoint because I still hear a fan running noise while it is stopped, I heard that some desktop computers make updates when it is off or there at - it a different explanation?

  Thank you

  It looks like a hardware problem with the screen, Backlight Inverter or graphics chip.

  It may arise or be aggravated at any time by a number of different factors,

  1. the age of the iMac

  2. use (such as the abusive graphic games)

  3. lack of cooling (bottom air intakes are clogged with dust)

• BlackBerry smartphone Message on the front of the phone when closed, can not find a menu with a solution to turn off

  This is a phone that is difficult to navigate, it's just a flip phone, not a touchscreen full or similar.

  There is a very real possibility of a coming private email and I need to turn off any function allows to display on the front of the phone, (perhaps in front of someone who didn't need to read it).

  Thanks, defining the code lock stops, although I hate having to type that dozens of times a day.  I try to unlock it and see if external notifications will, too.

  The guide is a good link too, the paperwork that came with the phone was the most simple that could be described as a user's guide.

  Your prompt and competent response is much appreciated.

• 21 "iMac 2010 with el capitan making a buzzing sound and won't start not

  I have a 2010 21 "iMac running EL capitan who today suddenly makes a gurgling noise and he wouldn't do anything so I turned it off and tried to put it back on and it continues to make a buzzing sound, as soon as I press the bottom of the power to the rear it hums 3 times then stops and emits a 3 stops... on a black screen. All tips thank you

  Three beeps usually indicate a problem with the RAM.

  See > Startup on computer - Mac Support Apple tones

  Sometimes, modules dispose and sometimes the modules go bad. Personally, I would check and/or replace the RAM modules.

  If you cannot or do not know how to install or check the RAM for yourself...? Next, you need to contact your Apple Store or FSAA and book a service appointment. See > https://locate.apple.com/country

• H233H"cable not connected" with the computer is turned off

  My H233H monitor displays an annoying blue "cable not connected" when my computer is off or in stand-by mode.  Monitor works find out otherwise and all the buttons on the front panel work.  But impossible to find a setting that will turn the monitor off when the computer stops sending a signal.

  If I unplug the cable from the monitor to the computer's HDMI, should not the monitor eventually fade or go to sleeo?  Or will she continue to display this message "cable not connected" blue indefinitely?

  Thank you

  Well, I realized that it is a problem of Acer monitor with HDMI input.

  There is no problem if I connect my H233H monitor with VGA or DVI cable.

  Just thought I'd come back and answer my own question if someone ever comes back here with a similar problem.

  Good luck...

• problems when you install a SSHD on an old Macbook Pro (2010) with El Capitan?

  Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery

  If your model may use Internet recovery, do like this:

  Clean Install of El Capitan on a new disc

  1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
  2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
  3. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
  4. When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
  5. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
  6. Set the GUID partition scheme.
  7. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  8. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
  9. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
  10. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  This should install it the version of Mac OS X that has been previously installed when the computer was new.

  [Permission to use any part of the foregoing has been granted by khati, exclusively, to theratter.]

  Otherwise, you must use the original disc that came with the computer, boot from it. Use utility disk to erase and repartition the disk for OS X, and then install the version of Mac OS X that comes with it. Update the version of Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 using the Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo updater. You can then access the App Store to download and install El Capitan.

• Turning off secure boot

  I have a new HP computer office 110-210.  I try to get Ubuntu 14 to start.  As I understand it, the first step is to disable secure boot.  I can't do this:

  I rebooted the machine and smashed esc until the firmware menu.  Then I pressed F10 and then chose the security, then secure the Boot Configuration.  Then I tried to turn on the legacy and nothing worked and I could not find a way to disable secure boot.  It remains configured as disabled and active no matter what I do.

  Help is needed here.  Thank you.

  I got it.  You must disable the num-Lock, and then use the right arrow key.  That it switches.
