  Forget the RAM Kingston and return it for a full refund, if you can.

  Spec'd correct., tested and reliable Mac RAM DO can be bought online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory, directly from the site Crucial (crucial.com) or OWC (macsales.com).

  Already mentioned several times in this post of the thread.

  Any other RAM from other sources and manufacturers (except OWC or Crucial) is questionable, at best.

  Good luck!

• Upgrade to 3TO HDD on mid-2010 iMac 27 "

  2 TB Hitachi HDD in mid-2010 iMac 27 "quad-core i7 2.93 Ghz. considering short of spare space internally to 3 (or 4).

  Course 3 TB hard drives are compatible with this system? Problems with the temperature sensor? Recommendations for the replacement of brand/model?

  N ° 2 TB is, according to me, the bigger you can install. Data transfer you only use on an external drive and delete from in-house to create more usable space.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

  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.

  Hi, I have an iMac 27 "(mfg mid-2010) bought in Singapore." I travel in North America. The computer is still in good condition and want to know if I can take it. For most electronic devices, the different current/voltage in North America that makes them more or less useless, but laptops, for example, have the adaptability between the two parameters of current/voltage.
