    I had the idea to attach a Thunderbolt 3 drive (or an external SSD with an USB-C interface) to my iMac 27" Retina Late 2015. So I took my Apple TB3-TB2-adapter, a TB2-cable and a LaCie Rugged Pro Drive as well as an Icybox USB-C Case with an SSD containing bootable volumes and happily tried all...

    iMac indicator LEDs on logic board. What does a faint or dim LED mean?

    I received an iMac 27" 5K Late-2015 with a dead logic board (only the first LED indicator lit when plugged in and switched on). I changed out the board for a pre-owned working board from the exact same model. No problems with the install, and when I powered up the Mac (without attaching the...

    using ioreg to determine iMac LCD Panel Model

    Hello, I have a 2015 retina iMac that I'd like to convert to a 5k display (like Luke Miani: ). Since I have the iMac display already, it is less expensive to convert it to a 5k display than buying a 5k studio display. I have successfully opened up iMacs (pre-retina) before to do HDD / SSD swaps...

    Can the 14" MacBook Pro with external monitor match a (future) iMac Pro?

    I'm sure I'm not the only owner of a 2015 27" 5k iMac who was drooling over the M1 Max specs only to see them abruptly end the keynote after presenting new MacBook Pros. I mainly use my iMac for photo processing (Sony a7rIII files for now). I considered a mini for a short time but now am...
