    My iMac 2011 E2428 is now upgraded with 32gb and i72600s. I decided to try out OCLP and run Sequoia, which *might* be my issue... I picked up a refurbished magic keyboard and mouse. I can connect both to the iMac via BT and they both show as connected. Mouse works fine. Keyboard on the other...

    Which Macs will skip M5 and wait for M6?

    I've got a feeling the Mini and iMac will wait over 2 years for an update from M4 to M6. Which I'm fine with. Perhaps the Studio and Pro too?

    Viewable screen area between iMac 27" and Apple Silicon iMac 24"

    Hello, I was curious if anyone knew how the viewable area on the iMac 27" compares with the viewable area on the Apple Silicon iMac 24". It looks like the newer iMacs have much smaller nonviewable space and I wanted to see how much of a difference that would be. Any info anyone has would be...

    Should I buy an M4 iMac or M4 Mini Pro (using spare monitor)?

    It's time to replace my trusty 21.5-inch Retina 4K 2017 iMac with an M4 mac. I use it as an everyday machine, but also edit photos and videos using it. The obvious choice is to just get the new M4 iMac that provides a quality all-in-one experience - the screen looks incredible, it will fit on...

    Base Mac Mini vs iMac 10-core: Can you beat the All in One?:

    Hello! I am curious to know - what peripherals would you buy to add to a M4 mac mini that would create a package that would be cheaper but just as good quality, than the 10-core M4 iMac? Or maybe peripherals that add up to about the same price as the iMac, but better quality. Is this possible...

    iMac M1 + M3 - USB-C accessories

    Hey, I've talked with Apple Support to get a trackpad for my green 2021 iMac and they say that I can order it with USB-C, so i think that means all the accessories you want to order for your M1/M3 iMac are now USB-C, so you don't have to upgrade for these accessories (especially as the back...

    iM 4,1-14,4 I Broke My iMac

    This is so embarrassing, but here it goes... A few weeks ago, I decided to upgrade my 27" Late 2012 iMac with a shiny new 500GB SSD. For a brief, glorious moment, it worked like a dream!
