• Connect the Middle 2010 21.5 "iMac for mid 2011 21.5" iMac in target display mode

  Hello

  I looked for an answer to my question and I'm not 100% clear, so I ask your help please.

  I have an iMac 21.5 "2010 middle which I want to connect to an iMac 21.5" 2011 mid (which I think the purchase) in order to have two screens. I know it can be done with these two models but the iMac 2010 has a Mini Displayport connector and the 2011 has a Thunderbolt connection, so I don't know if it's possible. I don't mind which screen is the main.

  Any help is appreciated

  Thank you

  In fact, it can be done from the mid 2010 21.5 "iMac doesn't have a Thunderbolt port. See the information in use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

• 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.

• 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).

• Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

  Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

  If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

  Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

  Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

• New SSD - windows 8 or 10 on el Capitan (iMac 2010)

  Dear people of Apple support!

  I may be one little different from others going on here and I hope that you guys can talk me through it. After days of trying, I'm a bit lost to be honest.

  About 5 days ago I received my iMac 27 "(mid-2010) updated with a new SSD (originally there was just the 1 TB HD)." The new SSD (which is 512 gb) has been in the position where the cd/dvd drive used to be (that I now can't use more). I now have the 1 TB and the new SSD upward and running with el Capitan installed on the new SSD. Works great!

  The main reason to go with the SSD is obviously to speed things up, but also because I wanted to have (8 or 10, I guess) installed Windows with Bootcamp on this SSD.

  The things I have tried/made up to now:

  -Have both iso of windows 8 and 10 loan

  -Edited my info.plist file where I remove the "Pre" just before USBBootSupportedModels to activate the option in BCA where you can create a bootable USB key

  -After trying the same mistakes with several usb occurs after BCA to restart first, which is "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

  -J' stopped the iMac and power on it pressing the option key where I found the bootable usb key (which showed boot EFI)

  -A from there, I walked into the perfect installation of windows. ;-)

  -However, that's where I really got stuck. I couldn't select my partition. Error on show details: 'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed to GPT disks.

  -After formatting, I had the same error as above (error of GPT disks).

  -J' found this error a lot, especially on this forum. So I tried to fix it with gdisk (http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362). Unfortunately no luck, I got the error to the step where you type 'w '. Error: Could not open device ' / dev/disk0 ' for writing! Errno is 1! Abandonment of writing!

  -J' discovered that it has something to do with SIP and that I should turn off safe mode, but when I restart my iMac I can't get into recovery by using CMD + r. Mode I tried to use it immediately after her, short, long, etc, but all I get is a white screen.

  Some things aside that I tried:

  -Creation of a windows partition manually with disk utility (remove the fact first by BCA)

  -Tried the two structures MS - DOT (FAT), and ExFAT

  -J' tried editting the info.plist still more by entering a string below DARequiredROMversion (IM112.0057.B03) and USBBootSupportedModels (iMac11, 3)

  Where I am at this time:

  -Ready with Windows 8 ISO bootable USB

  -Removal of all partitions in windows

  -Reset my hd and SDS info.plist file (I guess there are 2)

  --A STROLLER full reset (with cmd + option + p r to reboot) 3 times

  -Said a MSC (I think it's called) reset where I disconnected my cable for 15 seconds

  Trully I thinks I tried most of the things that I could find online, which led me to this post.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. If any additional info is requirement please let me know.

  Thank you!

  Best regards.

  Your iMac 2010 will not be installed Windows using without the optical drive boot camp.

  You should try this option, but it requires you to buy Winclone.

  You can also temporarily re - install the optical drive and make sure you install Windows on the main Bay drive (not in the optical drive Bay) and then put your second drive (the one without Windows on it) in the Optibay slot.

• Best SSD &amp; HDD configuration environment iMac 2010

  I put my 2010 middle level 21.5 "iMac with a 1 TB Samsung Evo 850 SSD. I'll use the OWC data backup kit to replace the optical drive in the iMac with the SSD. To feel pretty comfortable with the facility itself after having looked through the iFixit guide and various You Tube videos. My issue is with how best to configure the installed SSD.

  I use mostly the iMac for Lightroom CC and I'm under El Capitan.

  My 1 TB HARD drive and is full of about 80%. I want to use the SSD as boot obviously drive and also use it for all my applications. I just want all my old music files and RAW files on the HARD drive that I don't need to access often. There are about 300 MB of old RAW files, I can move on the HARD drive, then once as it is setup, I hope that I'll have to say 500 MB on the SSD and 300 MB on the HARD disk. As my RAW files grow I still move the old files on the HARD drive to keep the SSD to become too full.

  I had planned to restore all my files for the SSD from a Time Machine backup and then format the HARD drive before joining former RAW HARD drive files. But:

  -which is the best way?

  There's an easy way to achieve the same goal without keeping all my cruft?

  -going to have my HARD drive plugged complicated issues when restoring to the SSD?

  -should I use carbon copy cone instead?

  Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

  Note that if you open the computer Apple won't provide any additional support if you need it. Make sure that you don't damage anything. Learn how to do what you plan to do before you start. It's a bad idea to try to learn along the way. There are small tablecloths at the back of the monitor that must be removed in order to access the disk space. There is also a special thermal cable required. I suggest you visit OWC where provide it a kit to add another disk to an iMac.

  You cannot copy OS X of your HDD to the SSD while leaving everything else behind. After installing the SSD you partition delete it, then install Snow Leopard top of your OS X disk installer supplied with the computer. After that, you can go to El Capitan if you wish.

  Clean Install of Snow Leopard

  1. start the computer using the Snow Leopard installation disc or disc 1 that came

  with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.

  After the ring, press and hold the "C" key.  Release the button when you see

  a small gear appear under the dark gray Apple logo.

  2. once the load setup program select your language and click continue

  button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.

  After loading disk utility, select entry Out-dented the SSD in the list on the left.

  Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility.  Set the number of

  partitions to one (1) from the Partitions of the dropdown menu, click on the Options button

  GUID, click OK, and then select define the Mac OS Extended format type

  (Journaled), then click on the apply button.

  3. once formatting is complete utility of disk and return to the installer.

  Proceed with the installation of OS X and follow the instructions included with the installation program.

  4. Once installation is complete your computer will restart in the Setup

  Assistant. After finishing Setup Wizard will complete the installation, after which

  you will use a new installation of Mac OS X.  You can now begin the process of updating

  at the opening of updated software and installing all recommend updates to bring your

  current installation.

  Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo.

• update the iMac mid-2011 or buy a new one.

  Hi guys,.

  I have an iMac 21.5 "mid 2011 with 12 Gb RAM. I was wondering if it was a good idea to override this model (installation of an SSD, etc.) or buying a new iMac.

  I am not very happy with RAM soldered to the logic board of the new models 21.5 ". Load path Apple extra RAM too. Most users may not upgrade RAM or change SSDS by themselves, but, I'm a small part of those who like to modify and update my Mac, I like to do and not be restricted by a marketing strategy.

  However, what do you think?

  Looking at the price of new iMacs, I would setup an SSD and more RAM if your iMac runs correctly. You will save money, and this computer will last you a few years without glitches.

  However, if you feel that your iMac is not powerful enough for the tasks you do, go for a new iMac. As you say, Apple does not allow you to change anything (except installation RAM on iMac 27 inches), so buy the iMac with the amount of RAM and disk that meet your needs.

• Canon MG7100 prints but will not scan after update of the iMac? How to fix?

  Canon MG7100 worked very well with the iMac - scanning and printing. After doing the updates of the iMac and installation Siri scanning does not work. Always printing. The printer/scanner Canon said - Set PC to start scanning - I have MG7100 added on the iMac. I opened (and re-locked) firewall to let in the Canon UJ utility. I deleted the all-in-one Hi - and added MG7100.

  http://support-Asia.Canon-Asia.com/contents/Asia/en/0100535401.html

  doesn't look like canon has a printer that takes in charge the newer versions of Mac OS x, if I were you I would take contact them to see if they plan on support of new versions, apple made no drivers for the hardware they don't and if hardware manufacturers does not provide a working driver head can group with the new version of Mac OS x We have to rely on manufacturing to have a download on their page

• Updated the Imac to my wife to OS10.  Now have e-mail problems.

  Updated the Imac to my wife to OS10.  Had difficulties in obtaining the post to work.  Once I got it work keep changing to the old password.  We go to the system setting and correct the password for Internet.  Then, we go to the accounts and correct password.  The mail has been working for about 24 hours.  Now she can not sent and passwords will not be at rest.

  What is happening with this Apple!  I use to be able to count on everything works correctly without a bounch of workarounds. You're quick soaking in the quality of Microsoft.

• Would never be able to stop or restart the computer in the menu after the 10.11.5 update and cannot get the 10.11.6 because iMac restart

  After the 10.11.5 update, that I could never restart or shut down my iMac (late 2013, 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3) using the new menu. I can only stop it by pressing the button for a few seconds. I saw a few discussions addressing the question here and have tried to implement some of the solutions proposed, such as restarting in safe mode, deleting the application from Wacom-, but nothing has worked. Now I can't get the 10.11.6 updating or update my Adobe Creative cloud, incidentally, which became available to me, because I can't restart the computer. Do you know if this update would be better and solve the problem? Is there a way I can get this update even if I cannot restart the computer, or even to restore the system to an earlier version?

  Perhaps run EtreCheck and post the results here.
