imac (27" late 2014)

I recently bought a cheap iMac 27in 2014(late) model with 32 GB RAM and 3 TB HD. I was wondering if it is better than the current one that I'm using which is an Imac 21.5in 2019 model with 8 GB RAM, and 256GB SSD. If the 2014 is better should I just get a 256GB ssd external and install Sonoma...

I'm stumped by this problem with a friends iMac (Big Sur on a Retina 5K, 27", Late 2014 with a 2TB fusion drive and the R9 M290X 2GB GPU). He has constant, random freezing, buffering and crashes so I assumed the fusion drive was on it's way out so I backed up the drive using Superduper (latest...

Hi, I am using an iMac (27-inch, Retina 5K, Late 2014) which has the 1TB Fusion Drive and the i5. I am planning to upgrade my mac with the Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD SATA and the i7-4790K to make it run faster, so is it possible to use the Samsung 970 EVO Plus to work on it? I heard it needs the...

Has anyone done a trade-in with an iMac? Did it go well? I have a late 2014 model and right away I have a question about it. My internal drive is a 3.12 TB fusion drive. That is the default drive it came with. However, when I go to Apple's trade-in process it tells me that this is my iMac: iMac...

After the Fusion Drive in my iMac (Late 2014) began to slow down, I installed Catalina on an external SSD which booted flawlessly until Big Sur. Repeated attempts to install Big Sur on the external SSD (which was erased) resulted in error messages. I called Apple Support and was told that...

I have a Late 2014 iMac and ever since I upgraded it to Mojave, I haven't been able to use FaceTime it just hangs (Color wheel appears) and iMessage would would work half the time and would the same thing but sometimes it will load up and sometimes it won't. I tried re-installing the operating...

I've never traded-in a Mac. Usually they die or go to a family member. However this time around, I want to trade-in my late 2014 iMac towards a Mac Mini. I know the process involves them sending me a shipping label & supplies to ship it out. Has anyone done this? Estimated time to get those...

So I've been roaming these forums more often recently, due to my late 2014 iMac 5K (27-inch, maxed RAM, i7) overheating + being interested in the 2018 Mac Mini. Due to me having said iMac repaired before for hardware issues, I was under the assumption the issues were just coming back and with it...

I've made threads elsewhere on MacRumors asking about the Mac Mini about if I should invest in it or wait to see what the Mac Pro has to offer. Pretty much decided I should just get the Mac Mini. Question is though, my current desktop is a late 2014 iMac 5K with 32 GB RAM. Can't recall other...

Hi Guys, Just wanted to see if there are any non-hacky ways of getting Cuda Cores to work in a TB2 iMac. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Primary use is C4D and renderers like Redshift and Octane. Mac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) 4 GHz Intel Core i7 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 AMD...

I've had this iMac since it's release. Been running great, until a while back it kept forcing itself to sleep and even shutdown sometimes, while in the middle of something. Found out the cause was overheating. Brought it to Apple and they replaced the screen, logic board, redid the heat sync...

Looking for ideas on how to fix my iMac, it's a 5k 2014 that will no longer boot. It all started one morning when I'd put it to sleep the evening before, when trying to wake it, nothing happened, and the power button did nothing too. Randomly managed to get it to boot later that day, would...

My father has an iMac (Late 2014 27 inch Retina 5K) where he was experiencing screen flickering. He brought it in to his local Apple Store (in Florida), where they initially said it was the power supply, which they waived the $67 part cost to replace. But after replacing, they said the issue...
