View dead on iMac 21 "2012 A1311
Hi, I can get an external display to work properly via Thunderbolt. I tried reinstalling the memory, zapping PRAM and reset the PMU. Is there a way to easily identify without swapping it, be it the screen itself or perhaps the LED backlight Board?
First of all, unless you have a Thunderbolt display using a Thunderbolt cable should be used. If the external monitor, you have isn't Thunderbolt (check its characteristics) then you need a mini displayport to VGA, DVI or HDMI to connect. I suspect that you do not have the correct cables.

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:

An iMac of 2012 will be able to deal with Panasonic GH4 UHD first?
Hello.
I edited a 13 4K min (technically UHD I guess) project just before Christmas and while initially I me loving UHD retouching in a 1080 p timeline and open all the cropping options dealing, near the Middle, he so painful that I had to transcode to ProRes 1080 p.
I live crashing all the time - the first and complete lock of the ups, partial system crashing - for example where the first seemed ok but just would not play the timeline and a lot of pain to export when trying to export anything would fail, even through the usual bugs like nesting sequences. And when it worked it was laggy as anything when playing, even at 1/4 of quality.
So, before my next plan of attack which was to make a clean start complete and any reinstall, I thought that I could better check if the general consensus was that an end iMac of 2012 "should" be able to deal with GH4 flavored 4 k/UHD at all? Or I wait too long?
I hear all these people who claim to play 9 sequences of chicken Super RED k on their Mbps, so shouldn't Panasonic GH4 jobs a little better? (may contain inaccuracies and hype)
The machine is a 2012 end iMac, 3.4 GHz i7, 32 GB of Ram, NVIDIA GTX 680MX 2GB, running the most recent 2014 CC day and OSX 10.9.5. System drive is SSD and media is stored on an SSD via thunderbolt. Also launch a Matrox MX02LE via thunderbolt to the fire of the video to a reference monitor. As well as the first, I have filmconvert, Colorista II, which I use on a regular basis, as well as some that I sometimes crack as red giant universe, looks, Mojo and Denoiser 2. Just in case, those who can break just by hanging out regardless of their use.
All drivers updated OSX probably the only thing that is not. Cuda to CL switching open doesn't make much difference.
All opinions, ideas, your most appreciated comments.
Thank you!
I had the same problems with the 4 k (.mp4 and .mov) directly from the GH4. Grinds to a halt on my MBP 2014 13 "with 16 GB and i7 (even at 1/4 and 1/8 resolution). Have used a utility called EditReady to transcode the files to pro-res 4 k (UHD), which is fast enough, and surprisingly these files fly while editing in first CC 2014 - very smooth editing. On my PC i7, while files always struggle a bit, this kind of work and I can put up with it. SpeedGrade does much to UHD, but filmed in 1080 p fine work.
On my Mac, I just downloaded the demo of FCP X (my CC membership is coming soon and not looking forward to my contract coming to an end, am looking for alternatives) and I must say, it blew my mind is just how smooth editing with GH4 k 4 files in native mode, not even generate proxy or optimize the files. Worked perfectly, and the final encoding of the timeline shows that it really works out 4 k files.
So whereas initially, I thought that my MBP was fueled when I started to edit files GH4, I came to the conclusion that the first CC does not handle files as he could. Given when transcoding to Prores 422 and quadrupling the size of the file, the first worked perfectly with it. When you use native files in FCP X, they worked too perfectly smooth. Cannot conclude native GH4 don't like CC 4 k. I hope this is sorted in the next version, otherwise I am leaving definitely!

iMac late 2012 edition hangs on reboot after installing Sierra
I installed on my iMac, edition end of 2012 Sierra, and now it crashes when rebooting and turns off (black screen).
It has worked very well since the upgrade to Sierra yesterday, but this morning I rebooted and the iMac stop at Midway through the boot process. I turned on several times, but it keep crashing to half way through the implementation process and turns off the power (Black screen and power total power off).
I reboot in Recovery mode, (key command-R during restart) and am currently OS X via my latest TimeMachine recovery upward. According to the screen, the restoration will take about 2 hours to complete.
If someone has encountered this problem, and if so, will identify you the cause of the problem?
No problem on my Mac Pro 2010 but usually this kind of problem can be traced back to the 3rd install party who tries to run at startup.
If the problem persists try to start in safe mode

Serious problems iMac (late 2012)
I have an iMac (end of 2012), who has had the most serious problems lately. For about a month, he would often see the spinning beach-ball-of-death for even the simplest of actions. As of today, however, it has gotten worse about 1,000 times. Now, every time I turn on the computer, with nothing connected except for the mouse and keyboard, it starts up fine, and then, whenever I try to do something, the SBBOD appears and stays there for about two minutes before the simple action is completed. Just tonight (I'm typing this from my other computer), what was going on, and then the Finder menu bar has disappeared, replaced by a black bar. The next thing I knew, the screen went black. Fearing for the life of my computer, I pulled the plug. Everything is saved to a hard drive G, but I disconnected earlier today. I've not turned the computer back since. I used to have the famous "Mackeeper," installed, but I made sure to remove every vestige of it. I'm afraid that this iMac may be either raise a viral infection serious, or as the CPU itself is a failure. I have installed Avast, but I checked a few days there are viruses, and there is no infection. I have not recently installed anything that could provoke such a question. It is not protected by the Applecare more. Should I consider at the Apple Store in any case?
Where should I go from here, now?
Should I consider at the Apple Store in any case?
Yes. You're certainly dealing with a disc or any other fault of hardware failure. See also below.
"Avast" is the worst of the whole miserable lot of commercial products 'security' for the Mac. Not only it fails to protect you against any real danger, it can send data of a personal nature (e.g. historical web navigation and content e-mail messages) back to the developer without your knowledge, give false alarms, destabilize and slow down the computer, you expose a network attack and corrupt the network settings and permissions of files in your home folder. Removing it can not repair all the damage.
Some versions of the product also inject advertising into web pages. In short, apart from the fine print of the license, Avast is not malware and is probably worse than any malware known now in circulation.
Please back up all data and then remove Avast in accordance with the instructionsof the developer. Turn it back on. Never install a software "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" again.
If you have tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the trash, you need to reinstall, and then follow the link above.

Hard drive 4SNS HARD drive voltage error >; SSD in iMac end 2012
Hello - I replaced a HARD drive of 1 TB on an iMac 13.1, end of 2012 with a Samsung 850 500 GB SSD, closed and buttoned to the top of the machine without problem and started and attempt to restore backup time machine. This process completed 85% and then stalled. To restart, I'm stuck in a loop of the error. I ran diagnostic test and received the following code:
4SNS/1/40000001:VH1R-0.000
At first, I thought it was a missing thermocouple that many articles will guide you, but seems it's only on models 2011, not 2012 as in my case.
I opened again and confirmed that the cables are well connected, represented diag and have the same error. Any other suggestions? The player would be bad?
Thank you!
Dan
This error, as you already know, is for the hard drive voltage sensor. Replace the hard drive and EEA, what is happening. It looks like a bad SSD.

Apple will add an SSD for my imac end 2012
I have an imac end of 2012. I want to add, and SSD drive to it to increase the speed of loading. I use photoshop and then CC. I really don't want to do it myself and can not find anywhere on the apple support site information they will or how long it would take. Any thoughts?
You need find an authorized service center Apple close to home first.
Go to this page, click and fill in the information in the https://locate.apple.com/package.
Apple stores won't work, but an authorized provider can. Give one of your
choice a call and see if they provide such a service.
I strongly suggest an authorized service center, because they are familiar with Apple products
Unlike a "generic" PC repair workshop
Another alternative to internal installation, would be to get a USB3 or SSD Thunderbolt
or housing USB3 or Thunderbolt and install your own SSD. Although the external hard drive
may not be as fast compared with installed internally, it will still be a major improvement
on a standard HARD drive. Install the operating system and your files on it and use on the inside as a backup.

iMac 27 "2012 wake from sleep does not start
Lately, my iMac 27 "not correctly woke from sleep mode. When I try to enter the password, the computer manufactures its own string of numbers in the box and then refuses to open. The only way I can boot the computer should turn off by the button on the back and to be able to use it on. But after using the computer and either put to sleep or if he puts himself to sleep after, I have the same problem. I tried to reset the SMC and the PRAM, but the problem persists the next time I try to use the computer in sleep mode. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hello
It will work absolutely fine under el Capitan, your iMac is surely not machine vintage... Capitan works even faster than the Yosemite (10.10).
There are ways to upgrade to the Mavericks (10.9) instead, but you will need a friend who has a Mac that has installed the Mavericks and you give the Mavericks installation file.

HELP with wall mount for the iMac-end 2012 model 27 in.
Can someone help me please... I brought the iMac 27 in. in 2013. And I need to mount it on the wall.
To my astonishment, I discovered that I can't get on the wall that my iMac is late 2012 model. And this model does not come with wall VESA opition.
When I brought my computer, I was not put to the aware of the notice of wall-mounted or free-standing support.
I spoke with tech support but no joy. I was told to replace my iMAC or buy 3rd party mounting Kit. Unfortunately the 3rd party SDK does not solve my problem
I wrote an email to Tim Cook, CEO, Jonathan I, Chief Designer but not heard of one of them.
I would be very grateful if someone out there can help me with my dilemm. Thank you hear from someone soon.

PS the window showing on all of my point of view of bureau iMac?
I have been using Photoshop for a long time. And I'm running PS6 on my iMac Macbook Pro and 27 ".
I currently have a situation where Photoshop appears on my desktop and when I try to scrool a different view of the desktop, display PS fills again. This happens on my iMac... not the laptop.
I can't find any preference to adjust. Any ideas or suggestions?
I use OS 10.8.2.
Following your suggestions, I looked in all the preferences Setup.
To my surprise, I found the solution by clicking on the icon in the Dock. And select 'none' for the assignment of office! Voila. Easier than I thought.
Thank you very much!!

Hello.
Unfortunately my iMac late2009 a big problem: the iMac works fine but I had black and artifacts are on display (i.e. on the left side of the finder window). I suspect that the graphics card has disappeared.
It seems that he is too old to be reapired, so I think to recicle my iMac as a second monitor to a new Mac or my MacBookPro 2010.
My question is: is it possible to use the iMac in target Display Mode broken if the graphics card is damaged?
Thanks in advance
Roberto
Hi Robert,.
Although it is possible to do you would still experience the dark parts of the screen as it would still use its own graphics card. It could also cause crashes and random reboots. Sorry buddy.
