When my imac 2010 will die

• 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.

• Why is the screen on my iMac 2010 goes dark?

  Recently, two problems started occurring with my iMac 2010. I don't know if they are related, but I read the answers to similar questions here and have tried the solutions proposed, but without any positive results.

  My screen started to go completely dark sometimes. The computer still works, but I have nothing but a black screen.

  Things I've tried: running a scan of viruses, reset the PRAM, reset the SMC, by lowering the brightness of the screen, installation of a 3rd party app to increase the speed of the fan (on the premise that maybe superheat).

  When I lowered the brightness of the screen, I noticed my second problem.  Upon restart, the brightness of the screen would be how far it was before I lowered. (to 70%)

  At least I get some other ideas the good people here, my next step will be to open my computer and start checking the connections to see if all the cables are properly installed.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Uninstall the antivirus application. There are no viruses that can attack Mac.OS X. For example, anti-virus programs are selling a cure for a disease that does not exist. And they are known for the Mac was systems.

  This probably isn't the cause of your problem, but in the future it will be.

  When the screen goes black, if you shine a flashlight on you see the Office?

• need help to install El captain on iMac 2010 after secure hard disk format

  Hey guys... This might seem newb but the other day, I wiped firmly (format single-pass) my HARD drive on an imac 2010 with the Mavericks. Somehow the OS partition has been removed by the previous owner, but they didn't know how and gave me the system as a gift. I had the opportunity to reinstall the Mavericks via internet, but using the original Apple ID, which I couldn't, so the full format. Formatting completely unregister the iMac and delete the App Store, iTunes, ID and other settings/passwords? I have a bootable USB, which will install El Captain but need to know if using my own Apple ID for the installation will work without problems? I'm at the point where the system is no longer automatically starts in recovery mode, like the format, which means that command + R is my next step, but I had to order a keyboard/mouse fixed Magic since it did not come with those. In any case thanks for any advice you can offer.

  The Mac doesn't work this way. The material is not registered to any particular Apple ID. You can either use OS X Internet Recovery, which will install the original system provided with this computer, or you can install from a bootable installation on a UBS drive, in which case you can install any version of the operating system supported by the hardware you choose or that you can download.

  In both cases, once you have started the computer from the recovery of the Internet or the USB drive, run disk utility to completely erase the disk before running Setup.

• What iMac 2010 OSX?

  I received an iMac running OSX 10.6.4, 2010, but I would like to move to a better operating system (with the AppStore, photos, etc.)

  What OSX would you recommend for an iMac 2010?

  Processor: Intel Core i5 at 2.8 GHz

  Memory: 12GV 1333 MHz DDR3

  Thank you!

  The available system update only is El Capitan. It requires 10.6.8 (you can upgrade to this version) and an iMac 2007 or newer.

  OS X El Capitan - technical specifications

  How much memory you have installed?  It is strongly recommended that for the older iMacs use at least 8 GB of memory.  If you find new bars of memory get them at Crucial.com.  Price of modules will not work even if they state that they meet specifications.

  After you apply the Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo go to the App Store and download and install El Capitan.  Be sure to have a recent copy of your hard drive before you start the upgrade.

• New RAM not working not not on iMac 2010

  Hello

  I have a 21.5 ' mid year 2010 i3 iMac, and, after all this time, it was time to upgrade the RAM.

  I bought 2 x 4 GB Patriot SODIMM PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz 204-pin, by following the instructions in the Web page of Apple memory upgrade (install memory in an iMac - Apple Support).: 4 GB RAM SO-DIMM memory DDR3 SDRAM 1333 MHz. I installed it according to job with factory 2x2gb RAM Samsung sticks. After a reboot, everything worked beautifully for about 6 minutes. The identified computer sticks again and showed me a full 12 GB available. Which was great, since Yosemite + a few browser windows and Spotify only lasts up to 3GB. I have enough to spare. However, it restarted and again and again and again.

  I decided to test only the new RAM and started with the combination of Patriot 8 GB. It froze on reboot and fully started once, but it restarted less than 2 minutes later.

  Result: now I'm back to the original combination of 2x2gb. Always deal with the lack of memory and without understanding what's wrong with the new RAM I bought at Fry's. What about compatibility? Is there an another specification? Of course, I know, there may be a malfunction of hardware, but I would like to address this issue before making another run to the store and risking another model or brand.

  For reference: I've tried it before, but because of the lack of information from the seller, I was conquered by a stick of RAM 1x8GB, which is not supported by my model. So I replaced it with the 2 in question.

  Thanks for any help.

  It is generally recommended to stick with quality RAM to buy from a seller that tests and ensures their RAM to work with Macs - the two most recommended are OWC (macsales.com) and Crucial. They both offer helps you determine which RAM you need and offer the lifetime warranty.

  That should be your - sure.

  I'll be back on the RAM for a refund.

• cannot answer the calls when 'asleep '. Swipe will not work, but appeal continues to ring

  cannot answer the calls when 'asleep '. Swipe will not work, but appeal continues to ring

  If you have not already, try to force reboot the phone by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again. You won't lose any data, but it can cure a few glitches.

  If it does not, and to make sure that this isn't related software, set it back to factory settings, without using any data backup later. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.

  If it still does not respond, it could be a hardware problem and the phone must be repaired by Apple or an Apple authorized Service Provider:
