• Cable/adapter for use of 2007 iMac as a display for 2009 MacBook Pro

  I would use my older iMac as a monitor for my MacBook Pro. Want to know which cable and/or adapter I need help.

  The iMac is a 24 inch, Intel based since 2007 (6.1). 2 GB, 667 MHZ.  It uses iOS 10.5.8. Its port is a Mini-DVI video output.

  The MacBook Pro is a 15-inch (5.4) 2009. 4 GB, 1067 MHZ. It uses iOS 10.11.6. Its port is a Mini display port.

  Popular Wizard. Thank you.

  You must use a wireless or Ethernet connection and configure Virtual Network Computing. A 2007 iMac only supports video-, and cannot function without the standard display cable.

  I have a late 2009 iMac. When I tried to upgrade to El Capitan. He said that the CHIP shows the h/d is a failure and can not be updated. I have install an external withEl of h/d Cap but it is very slow. the h/d is USB 3 but the iMac's USB 2. the h/d is only 5400 RPM. a 7200 RPM 7 / would accelerate the iMac?

  No, because the limiting factor is the computer is USB 2.0, which is how it connects any external drive apart the external drive. As USB 2.0 is much slower, there is no real advantage to a 7200 RPM drive. What you need is a Firewire enclosure that supports FW800 which is much faster than USB 2.0.

• Late 2009 iMac Sierra gel & incomplete close

  Hi all

  I did a clean install of Sierra on my iMac late 2009, 3.60 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, the 12 GB of RAM, a 1 TB drive, ATI graphics card. Everything seemed to happen. Now, I have two problems:

  1. at least twice daily than the iMac just hangs. The mouse moves, but can not select anything. Cmd - Tab will not pass applications. Keyboard does not respond. All I can say is that I always Mail, Safari, & Open Office 4.1.2 running. Have to hold the power button to turn off and restart.

  2. at the end of the day, when I stopped, the process is not finished and I just get a black screen (computer for desktop is black, but the items on the desktop are not visible), with the only docking station. Still, the only way out seems to be to hold down the power button to turn off.

  Anyone else having these issues? Is it that I can save for a clean install of Yosemite that worked perfectly before?

  Many thanks in advance,

  gimbers

• Implementation of new iMac in late 2006 iMac and external hard drive

  I have a late 2006 iMac 2.16 GHz intel core 2 duo with 2.5 GB which I Lion 10.7.5.  I don't think I can improve operating systems, or more if they are not compatible.  I have an external hard drive that stores my photos, music etc I just ran out of space on iMac.  I decided to upgrade to the new iMac.  I thought that I would be able to plug in my external hard drive which has also my Time Machine backup and all the news would move to the new iMac.  However, the external hard drive is Firewire 800.  I connect it to the old iMac with adapter on the Firewire 400 port.  The new iMac has USB3.

  1. How can I connect external drive to the new iMac?  You can get a Firewire 800 cable USB3 (online research I don't think)

  2 read online it seems to say that you need to update your software on your old iMac to match the new iMac otherwise the time Machine can not read information correctly.  It is not possible on the old iMac, what should I do?

  I'm looking at my beautiful new iMac and the have not yet enabled.

  The cable would probably be Thunderbolt to FireWire, check the available adapters

  to see what should be the part. You would not upgraded an outdated old

  Mac for a last OS X when he cannot go. Use the Migration Wizard or

  migrate after installation. Some of these older applications or documents created

  can be updated easily; Some may require conversion. Depending on your files.

  The manual method is sometimes preferred. A new computer may balk

  a lot of stuff which is reduced to an antique.

• late 2009 iMac desktop computer - time to go?

  My desktop iMac computer has six years this month, [late 2009 model] and provided the fault all this free time. I have upgraded the RAM 12 GB of 8 GB a year ago.

  My iMac is linked to a Maxtor external drive old eight year which runs on Firewire 400 [Mac is up to 800]. External drives is full at 85%, while the internal drive of the Mac is only 10% full.

  The IMac is scrambling to run Photoshop elements 13. It's just excruciatingly slow in editing, but OK mode to the Organizer. It is also slow, but less than software image of Macphun so editing running creative Kit 2016.

  This slow performance is noticeable when I went to 13 items in Photoshop. I wonder if it's related to the lack of speed by updating the internal hard drive and make the Time Machine backups running every hour so at the time where he finished one, it's almost time to start over. Recovery from the external drive is OK.

  To get a new 2 TB external hard drive, to say I seem to need firewire 800 and Thunderbolt. LaCie is the brand only I found which is an external hard drive at once [Thunderbolt will be required when I buy a new IMac]. My IMac built in wifi is not compatible with the new Apple Time Capsule.

  The problem has a number of different options available. Who would you?

  I have 2 mid iMacs 2007 that work very well.

  You have been the victim of misinformation.

  There are well 2 t (and more) disks that use USB or FireWire available. No necessary crush.

  WiFi from your iMac is compatible with the new Apple Time Capsule.

• Can I use my 5K iMac as a monitor for the Mac Pro?

  I'm so curious because I really need speed for Final Cut, but for the Mac Pro, you must separately buy things (monitors, keyboards, mouse). For the iMac, it is included, but he really loves * that the Mac Pro has this old crush which is very pixelated to 82ppi, compared to the iMac not expensive 21.5 "without Retina display, it is equal to 102ppi. My iMac 27 "is 5K also, and the iMac is 218ppi. I want a high resolution to get the best view possible, but I can't in the Mac Pro. I would like also to the screen have a built-in webcam and speakers similarly.

  Only through the screen which two computers sharing work normally.

• Restore default without disk late 2009 iMac

  Can HI anyone help? I tried to restore an iMac 2009 end to the factory setting but I don't have the original disc, apple support said I could try the disk of snow leopard on their Web site, but this may not work and he didn't now I'm stuck in the boot OSX disc and cannot remove the disc or do hard recovery by pressing the command and r at the beginning.  I managed to erase the drive hard all the time, were not able to reinstall OS x.

  Is it gone forever? Any answer would be great.

  Recovery of the Internet only is not supported on iMacs 2009. Snow Leopard retail disk should work as I believe version 10.6.3 and end of 2009 iMacs come with 10.6.2. What happens when you try to install from the disc of detail? Your last resort may be to call Apple, give them your serial number and order a set of replacement original discs.
