  I am able to update the graphics card in my iMac end 2012? I know that this is not a gaming computer, but I want to be able to play low end games. Is this possible?

  # You don't have a 'card' in this model. Starting with 2012 models graphics hardware was inseparable and soldered to the logic board. Looks like this:

  I have an imac late 2009 27 "with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB video card. He made rare as small squares on the screen and stuff of course freeze everything. Sometimes when it starts, vertical lines if poster and nothing else can do. I have to restart the computer several times.

• Can I turn off the 3D option in Lightroom as I have problems cos my graphics card on my iMac is only 256 and I can't update?

  My iMac only has a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB graphics card and I am unable to go to 512 MB on the model that I have (21.5 ' end 2009).

  Processor:-3,06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  Memory:-12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  It was working fine a couple of days, but now I have problems? New download? He tells me that I need 512 MB graphics card to run 3D. I've never used 3D so it is a way I can turn off so that I do not need to spend $3-5 000 on a new iMac?

  Those are just friendly warnings. The relevant characteristics will simply not available, but the bulk of the program should work just fine.

• Wi - Fi pass drops after iMac sleep mode

  Help, please. I had a lot of Wi - Fi problems after upgrade to Yosemite. I know that many others have had similar problems and the Genius bar was not able to find a solution. I get the same "I never heard of this problem before" and then run simple diagnostic tests. Here are some features:

  -iMac 21.5 "2011 Office

  -OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

  -Have had problems with connectivity Wi - Fi based on the current version works, but the worst problems came with Yosemite

  -iPad 2, Asus computer laptop and HP printer work fine. I tested the Modem and the router, they work well

  The problem: after my iMac Sleep Mode wake up my network connection is interrupted. I have to physically click the Wi - Fi connection and wait it is the signal (it takes about 30 seconds). It is not a big problem, but it becomes very frustrating after what happens every time. I have other users in households who also have this problem and they are not very good with the iMacs.

  Someone had this problem and was able to remedy?

  Thank you in advance,

  Scott

• Video dedicated memory card dropped on adding RAM

  I recently bought my HP G4-2019tx core i5-3210

  His card said he had 2 GB dedicated Ati radeon 7670 m, but the system has shown 2560 MB ofdedicated graphics.

  He had 4 GB of RAM.

  Now,.

  I added an another Kingston 4 GB 1333 MHz RAM and the system less dedicated shows (2304 MB) of graphics memory, but the shared memory is passed to ~ 1700MB ~ 3700 MB

  Is this normal?

  These changes are normal as allocation of memory is dynamically adjusted by the computer and Windows. As long as the dedicated video memory is equal to or larger than 2048MB, you're good to go.

• dv7t Quad Ed with Intel Centrino Wireless Card drops connection Internet with Netgear

  Hi all the world-help please!

  I received my dv7t Quad Ed with Intel Centrino wireless/Bluetooth card two Monday running on Windows 7 64.  I can't get my pc to maintain an internet connection more then a few minutes.  I'm solid on connecting wireless to the router (Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNDR3700) but I'm constantly getting "no internet access.

  I have updated the firmware of the router.  I made several updates of Windows.  Nothing has helped and then fifteen minutes.

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Hello:

  Go to the Intel site and run their driver update utility and see if there is a newer driver for you to install.

  http://www.Intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?IID=dc_iduu

  Once you do this, if an updated driver didn't help, or we were not available, click on your adapter wireless in Device Manager. Then click the Advanced tab.

  I enclose a general link to the Intel Advanced Settings menu and what they are doing...

  http://www.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/sb/CS-025393.htm

  Make sure that the settings are default all except that I would like to change the following:

  Roaming aggressiveness... Lowest value.

  If this does not help, go to the configuration menu of your router and change the string being aired on channel 1 or 11 and see if that helps.

• I use an iMac with a wrong as a monitor graphics card?

  The graphics card on my iMac went wrong.  The logic board is OK and works otherwise OK.  Can I use the iMac with the graphics card bad as a second monitor in target disk Mode or use it as a monitor for a mac mini? The bad iMac is a model 2011 (of course!) with HDMI ports and Thunderbolt.

  I think you mean that the Display Mode target and any connection to the screen will have to pass by the graphics card. Whereas if you replace the bad graphics card, don't.

• Is it possible to edit photos on a media on my iMac SDHC card before loading on my iMac

  Is it possible to edit photos on a SDHC card using my iMac, before loading the pictures changed on the iMac?

  Yes but it depends on no doubt what application you use photo editing I guess. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements and I can edit directly on the map of the camera if I want and download images to the iMac or elsewhere. I just did as a test on the card from the camera, but normally I upload the images on my desktop first and then go from there.

  I am piecemeal on eBay due to many bad experiences of people, but because I live in Spain and the graphic is in the USA, I won't be on a back row fourth fight with the seller, I would like to know if it is possible to put this map on an iMac 2009 end will he made and since apple is not so good to advise me on this matter and rude if I buy it for apple's not ready to put in my machine

  I started having the same problem. You can connect in safe mode - hold SHIFT key upon restart.

  It is not a hardware problem, others is having the same problem. The problem of lookslikeN with the drivers of the OSC.

• VMware 6 / tools / iMac sound card

  Sorry if this is a long post, but I think that some experience is necessary.

  Before the other day, I was running Win/XP SP3 under Fusion 5 on my iMac 27 ", which has OS X 10.7.5. On the Win/XP client I run a radio ham app only Windows called NaP3. My ham radio transmitter is connected to the XP guest via the USB port (1) for the mode and frequency of the controls and Line In jack (2) the iMac at the back. The radio has a specific output port that is somehow as a microphone - hard to explain here. In any case, data coming into the Line In Jack are entered by the NaP3 application that produces a graphical display of a 'segment' of the frequency band which is granted to radio. This allows the user to 'see' where there are stations operating on this band without having to tune painfully through the search of the band. The application of NaP3 has the ability to display up to 192 kHz, a frequency value 'segment' at the same time. Note that I said "up to". It turns out that bed in the "sound card" in the iMac is capable of only 48 kHz of bandwidth. I tried an external USB sound card (E-MU 0204) and who failed miserably in the VMware/Mac/WinXP environment. So, I settled on only the width of 48 kHz displayed. Still really good and way better than not getting the app works not at all. Il - worked very well.

  A few days ago, I said 'uncle' and decided to go to Win 8. My first step was to move to 6 Fusion. Then, I built a new guest of Windows 8, improved to 8.1 Windows, my installed applications, installed the VMware tools and tried NaP3. Ugh - now, instead of see 48 kHz is of the frequency spectrum, I only see 15-20 or more. Tried all sorts of combinations in the application configuration, but couldn't get that 48 kHz transparent back. Then, to try to see exactly what were my settings on the XP client, I close comments 8.1 Win and booted up the having previously worked with Windows/XP. The first thing he did was to re - install VMware tools on the guest XP - it was the first time that comments had been executed on merger 6. After the tools have been installed, I shot to the top of my request of NaP3. Well, shit - NOW it gives me the same lousy screen of 15 to 20 kHz. I'm very, very heavily leaning on the problem being VMware 6 itself or the tools. When it came on Fusion 5 everything worked. Now it's on 6 with the tools of the V6 and it works not on Win/XP or Win 8.1.

  Does anyone have an idea of what can be defined in OS X or merge that will tell this "sound card" internal system actually capable of providing 48 kHz, with a value of audio and not 15-20 as it does now? In its current form, the application is pretty useless with only this type of audio response.

  Thank you, Jim (ham FCC licensed W6JHB op)

  Fixed! Given that I had gotten no answer on the forum, I started to dive more deeply into what was going on. I found an app on the Mac called setting up Audio and MIDI. This app has the necessary controls to set the sampling frequency audio device. Mine was set to 16 kHz. I have no idea (1) (2) how and why my app NaP3 never worked before showing me of 48 kHz, but she did. I changed the sampling of 48,000 and the application of NaP3 now shows me all the 48 kHz of bandwidth. Just for grins, I tried sampling rates higher, but there was no change - so I guess this Built In thing in the iMac has a maximum sampling frequency of 48 kHz. Anyway, I'm a happy camper and it is resolved!

• SD card reader not working only not with El Cap.

  The iMac does not recognize the SD card when inserted. Nothing in the Finder. If I leave the card in the slot and restart the iMac, it is recognized. This all started after the upgrade to El Capitan. Anyone?

  Hello leiffromtonsberg,

  Please ask for help in the communities of Support from Apple. Looks like you have problems reading from an SD card with your iMac. Here are the things I would check.

  The first thing that you want to make sure that the data on your Mac is safe. You will need to use Time Machine to backup to an external hard drive. The recommendation is to use an external hard drive twice the size of your hard drive internal. Use this article to help make a backup: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

  Then, you need to determine what you want to open or to display when you enter the SD card in. If you are looking for pictures to open when you insert the SD card, when you enter the SD card, open the Photos. On the import tab, there is a checkbox "Open pictures for this device". Make sure it is checked. If it is checked, uncheck it and re-check. It is necessary sometimes to get these settings reset.

  If you are looking for only to have a pop up on the desktop image, please go to the Finder, then click the word Finder in the next to the Apple menu bar. Click on Preferences. Make sure that you check the tab general, and that the box for the external drives. If it is checked, uncheck it and re-check. Close the Finder preferences.

  If you are still not able to find the SD card on the desktop or in the Photos, you will want to check if it shows up in disk utility. You can check by opening Finder > Applications > utilities > disk utility. Make sure the SD card is showing correctly in disk utility without having to restart the Mac.

  If you still have the problem, with the insertion of the card and read by the Mac, look for more updates. There may be a new update driver or firmware required to get this working correctly with the new operating system. Use the App Store, updates, or contact the manufacturer of the SD card to see if they can provide updated information.

  Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.
