    iPhoto/Photos transfer between iMacs

    I have an old 2011 iMac which I need to pass on, but there’s an issue with iPhoto/Photos. The iPhoto library on that old Mac goes back to my original G4 Mac, being transferred to subsequent Macs as I upgraded. However, there was a spanner in the works when Apple replaced iPhoto with Photos. I...

    My iMac completely ignores when I hold down alt at boot

    I've tried two wired keyboards, one of them Apple, but it just goes straight to the internal SSD. No options. How do I fix this? It's a 27 inch 2009 model, feel free to move this to 'Early Intel' if needed. Thanks!! x

    Is it possible to use both USB busses on a 2019 iMac?

    I have noticed that my 2019 iMac has 2 USB 3.1 busses. It also appears that one of the USB busses is activated when an device is plugged into one of the ports. Is the other bus used internally?

    Hi there. I hope someone can help. Please excuse my lack of knowledge. I have a Late 2008 iMac, which I have fished out the loft. Its horrendously slow (because of the HDD I reckon) I plan on giving it a clean and booting it off a external SSD to (hopefully) speed it up. Before being put in...

    Mac Office 365 Blurred Text

    I've just acquired a 21.5 inch 2017 iMac running Monterey. Quite an upgrade from my previous 2009 iMac; however, a big issue is that on the new iMac the text on Office 365 apps is blurry. Not what I was expecting at all. What's going on and what's the fix? Thank you

    Hypothetically speaking, could you gut an iMac G3 and put all modern hardware in it? New screen, new logic board, processor etc?

    Apologies if this is a question asked all the time on here. I'm aware this would be a pricey endeavor and you're better off just getting a new machine from Apple... but if someone had the expertise, expenses, etc to do this themselves, would it be possible? I'm a programmer and love the Y2K...

    What PPC Mac to Buy?

    So I'm now in an interesting spot: My mom has reclaimed her PowerMac G5 as a end table (irreparably damaging the MB and other components when she stripped the case out).
