• El capitan extremely slow on end of 2013 iMac, especially at the start (5 minutes)

  Hello

  Recently, I went from an iMac end 2006 (installed 10.7.5) to a new end 2013 iMac (with el capitan) using the migration wizard.

  My new iMac literally crawls at the start: before being "usable", it takes all five minutes to present the elements of office and start (I only dropbox, 1Password, Alfred littlesnitch enabled and I cleaned all the startup and user logon items old and systemic); After this the iMac works very well, even if it's not lightning fast I must say (looks like a little lag is present for each new task: opening applications, files and so on).

  As soon as the iMac starts a time machine backup is started automatically.

  I used etrecheck and nothing significant has shown and also one of the @linc scripts used to test the system (unfortunately, I'm not really able to fully understand the results, but perhaps that something is 'locked'...).

  Console is spammed with messages, especially at startup but projector not only in regard to, mds, xpc...

  I will post any other relevant information as requested, if anyone is willing to help.

  Thanks in advance

  Ciao

  Without posting actual results Etrecheck and/or Linc-script, nobody will be able to guess what is happening.

• 27 inch Cinema Display will work ok with end of 2013 imac

  Hello

  Thank you

  Hi, Richard.

  Please visit Apple support communities.

  I understand that you want to use a movie with your iMac screen compatibility.  Without knowing the technical data of the movie screen and looking at your specifications, this view should work with your end of 2013 27-inch iMac.  Your iMac has two Thunderbolt ports that can support the Thunderbolt screens and output Mini DisplayPort.  Below, you will find more information on the specifications of your system and the use of several screens with your iMac.

• Ray is not available for end of 2013 iMac Tracing?

  I own an end 2013 27 "iMac.  Graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT M 755 with 1024 MB of RAM.  Next to the current Mac Pro, why can't use us Ray Tracing on ANY mac product?   is there a work around us with the video cards NVIDIA GeForce GT class?  I have CUDA 6.0 installed, but I still get the message that Ray Tracing will use the CPU and not the GPU.

  If anyone has any additional information that they would be willing to share, I would appreciate it.

  Thank you!

  Are you sure you need to use the traced the beam 3D rendering engine? This is a deprecated feature that is phased out in favour of means of working with 3D in After Effects. Unless you know that you really do need this feature, I recommend no friction on the issue of whether your hardware can use it.

  BTW, you can choose an option in the preferences of After Effects use a GPU not supported for this feature. But be warned: "unsupported", means what he says.

• Rumble of 21.5 end of 2013: iMac

  A few months ago, I became aware of a rumble. At first I thought it was Thunder far away and ignored, but after the noise continued for a few weeks, I realized, it was the computer, a late model 2013 21.5 "iMac.

  The noise is intermittent and not heard every day but almost certainly every day. He 'scolding' for a few minutes then stops for a while before doing it again. It seems to come from the rear left (that I see on the screen).

  Any ideas / suggestions would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  From your description of the problem it seems that the noise comes from an exhaust fan, likely to be worn or contaminated by debris.

  Have Apple evaluate it. Use the link https://www.apple.com/support/contact/ to find the service allowed in your area.

  Replacement, if necessary, is not particularly difficult or expensive.

• Taken SSD Intel SSD 540 s M.2 supported by the MacBook Pro 13 "retina end? 2013 (11,1)

  You have all the information if the new series of SSD INTEL 540 s 1 TB m2 will work with a MacBook Pro 13 "retina end? 2013 (11,1)

  Intel said it does not support NVMe. Should or would add just performance gain?

  I discovered by the research so far it is not supported. According to the information that I had any player should of NVMe or OS X will not accept or even boot from it.

  If someone have different information or the best life experience - I'd be happy to hear...

• Can I update the graphics card in my iMac end 2012?

  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:

• End of 2013 SSD Macbook Pro has failed

  The SSD in my end 2013 13 "retina MBP failed, leaving me with a very nice and completely unnecessary aluminium piece.

  The genius bar appointment confirmed the failure by saying that it was obviously a defective component, but that my only option was an Apple Service / repair costs £526 + VAT.

  Someone else has met a failure of this type in the same model of MBP?

  This would be a general problem with the SSD components used in this edition of the MBP that is similar to the issue of MB Air?

  I'm obviously gutted by the failure and lack of options and cost of repair in this case adds insult to injury.

  Apple has lost a long-term MBP owner / client.

  Stephen...

  You may be eligible for a reminder, but you will need to check with the Apple support.   Read this article, and then Google ' Macbook pro / ssd reminds "."   You will find several references.

• Slow pre-launch sequence on end of 2013 rMBP13

  Hi guys, I tried to understand this problem of slow boot for about a year and a half now, and I can not pin down what is the problem or how to fix this reliably.

  I have an end of 2013 rMBP 13 running El Capitan (although the problem existed in Yosemite as well, but I don't remember what happens in the Mavericks) and 10 Windows in bootcamp (it used to run windows 8, but then the slow start came with it as well). I don't remember exactly when this happened first, but it was about half a year or so after Yosemite was released. I was running Yosemite and windows 8 in bootcamp without problem before and Maverick and the same installation of windows 8 before a year very well.

  The problem:

  The laptop appear to have a slow sequence of pre-launch. I press the power button, hear the Apple chime, then wait about 20 to 25 seconds until the apple logo on the white black screen or selection of start up, screen am I holder of options. After the apple logo or the boot selection screen, it starts normally in less than 5 seconds on the desktop. All the following which works perfectly well without notable accidents and slowdowns during normal use. Also never actually, it fails to start or give any error message.

  The delay seems to also occur before the computer records the NVRAM reset - I must press Cmd/Opt/P/R for about 20 seconds before the screen backlight turns off, the computer restarts with a second chime.

  The biggest problem is I switch between OSX and Bootcamp quite often, and I need to sit near the computer and hold the option key for nearly half a minute each time when I do that... Otherwise everything else works as expected.

  Things I've tried:

  Reset NVRAM - I think it would work once a large earlier. Right now reset which does nothing for the boot time.

  Select volume OSX in the startup disk - I tried this time OSX recovery and even in the recovery of the internet. This used to work once or twice sporatically, but no longer works. I also tried setting Bootcamp partition as the starting volume, and it still does not work.

  Reset SMC - never done any good.

  Wipe the disk and reinstall - it's been a while since I've done it, but I remember that it worked fine when OSX is the only volume, but when I install bootcamp and then try to select OS x as the default volume, he is still confused and slow down during pre-launch.

  Repair of permissions of the drive and stuff - has never done any good.

  Wiping Bootcamp - worked at least once, but as soon as I reinstall it and boot in there and back, the same problem occurs.

  The changing property and rebuild kextcache-

  sudo chown root: admin /.

  sudo kextcache-system-pre-bound-kernel

  sudo kextcache-system-caches

  It was the last thing I tried with success. I have done this in the terminal about 3 months ago and restarted. Apple logo appeared in the 5 seconds of power and I was super excited. But then I started in bootcamp and returned and the pre-launch was always again. Now it is once again not even speed up the first reboot.

  Any idea guys? I feel as if it were an EFI problem where laptop computer confused at where to start from and he concludes then somehow in 20 seconds. But if that were the case why not selecting disk start not fix it? Also why it not immediately save the NVRAM reset?

  I don't know if you still have this issue, but I think I could have solved on my rMBP after finding http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/209-69-windows-bootcamp-black-screen-blinking-curseur-Age-boot(not without first OS X repartitioning and by performing a clean installation, which now seems as if was not necessary).

  I had to get Windows Recovery mode.  F8 does not seem to work with boot camp to the to do, I started Windows and held down the power button to interrupt the boot sequence, after that 2 - 3 times it would show "Please Wait" instead of the usual circle of points (10 Windows).  Otherwise you can use the Windows installation media, but I had only one practice ISO file I installed via boot camp assistant.

  Open the command (under Advanced Recovery).  Enter the following command:

  Bootrec.exe /FixMbr

  Bootrec.exe /FixBoot

  Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

  From there I could reboot and there was no delay start in Windows.  In now option button to select the startup disk also didn't cause any delay and was admissible.  I started to OS X and selected my OS X disk as the startup disk, restarted several times and did not have questions that I would have usually experienced.

  My guess is that it may have been caused by a recent update of Windows 10.

  Of course you can upgrade to El Capitan. But I think better if you can change the internal hard drive (SATA drive) in the SSD drive. You will get better results, faster than still, you only have 4 GB. This is mine... MacBook pro in early 2011.

  

• end of 2013 Mac Pro self begins with red light under DIMM 3

  My end of 2013 "trash" Mac Pro has an intermittent problem on start up - this can take up to 8 auto restarts before it starts to fully operational status. During these reboots red lights are visible through the base, in the area of the 3 & 4 DIMM slots. This happens in about 3-4 times when the Mac Pro is started first thing in the morning. Sometimes - but rarely - it will also restart after a period of normal operation.

  Run diagnostics and, before one of the operations described below, this indicates that all was well but the 2 just many times where I ran diagnosis, he pointed out that no WiFi interface has been installed. Have also run Memtest that since several days of testing, running as a single user with multiple passes, says memory all OK.

  Have tried resetting the SMC both NVRAM and update of the OS. Removed and reinstall the RAM modules. After the reinstallation of modules, first start only registered DIMM 1 & 2 modules. There seems to be no problem with the seating, nothing loose or place and taken liberation were entirely home. Next and all subsequent boots saved all 4 modules.

  A day of immediate bootups without problem but then, first thing this morning, had two cottages restarts during startup. I gave the 2nd boot press / press and hold the 'on' then booted diagnosis - no problem not indicated. On the startup resulting, everything was fine.

  I guess the problem is in, either the GPU or with 3 & 4 DIMM slots. Can someone tell me the meaning of red lights? Diagnosis would be easier if I knew.

  Hello Bob,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I see that you have found a red flashing in the 3 & 4 DIMM slots. Typically, this indicates a bad RAM module or the module is not seated properly. I see you have already done the troubleshooting that I would have recommended. So, unless you have third-party RAM installed in your Mac Pro, I suggest you take a look at the following link to access the service options for your computer.

• 4 k editing help with iMAC "End of 2013"

  Hey guys

  I hope someone can help me. Recently, I bought a DJI Osmo. I started to record in 4 k. I used to edit in 1080 with no problems on our iMac. Now, with the edition in 4 k, he becomes so nervous that its virtually impossible to change.

  So far, I've completed a disc clean up public services. Delete most of the files etc (I have 100gig free space of 1 TB). I cleaned my desk so absolutely nothing is running. Computer restarted to refresh the systems only run Premiere Pro CS6 and then start editing. Whenever I play a 4 k clip or watch the preview, he gets very nervous. Now whenever I watch an excerpt my CPU % is allocated 0.5 for first (idling) to 200% of the CPU.

  The system and the card I have is the following:

  iMac 27 inch end of 2013

  Intel Core i % 3.4ghz

  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  NIVIDA GeForce GTX 775 m 2048MB

  Any help is greatly appreciated. Please explain in a more simplistic as possible form. Also I am not eager to reduce to 1080. Want to really get the vids from 1 or 2 to 4 k and see what they look like. For your information, these videos are intended for Vimeo, Youtube, and Facebook.

  Thank you

  The fundamental problem is that the files of the OSMO are difficult to read for ANY computer. As Jeff said, h.264 is hard work for your computer, read, and the OSMO files are really quite large for what they are. This combination means that you will have a much easier time if you convert your videos in a codec that your computer can play more smoothly, such as ProRes or DNxHR.

  If you do this first, it will be much less strain on the CPU because he won't try to decode the images in real time.
