I recently came into possession of a Late 2012 iMac 27" with 2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core I5 processor, 32GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB graphics, and 1TB hard drive running macOS Catalina. I need Windows 10 so I used Boot Camp Assistant and got a Windows 10 ISO from the...
If anyone can confirm this course of action and answer the questions I'd greatly appreciate it.
I would like to use an external SSD via USB-C as the main drive with OS and apps, and the original internal HD as storage.
(iMac 2017 21.5" Big Sur)
Course of action:
1. Using disk utility, clone...
On my 2019 27" iMac, I have a Dell 24" second monitor connected via a USB 3 hub > HDMI. I like to keep Mail and Music on that second display, however two unexpected behaviors occur regularly:
The Music window shifts back to the main iMac display frequently - although I can't make it happen by...
Hi Everyone, thanks in advance. I'm posting this because I'm running out of solutions and I need serious help.
I've just recently bought last week a new 27"inc iMac 5k retina, 2020. It has macOS Big Sur 11.4 with this specs:
3,6GHz Intel Core i9 10n., 8GB 2667 MHz DDR4 RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5700...
If you had to bet, would you say that the new iMac that's rumoured to come late this year will start with 16gb or RAM and or 512GB or will Apple stick to 256/8GB?
I'm thinking they're going to stick to 256/8GB solely because they make so much money off of the upgrades.
Does the new M1 iMac have built-in HDR 10-bit display/panel? I read that the M1 Apple Silicon supports HDR 10-bit output with at least macOS Catalina installed, but I can't find any specifications that explicitly say that the new M1 iMac built-in display/panel is a true HDR 10-bit one. I read on...
Hello,
I want to live stream a video podcast and need a great computer that can handle the data load and is semi-portable.
The device that takes in all the cameras and audio inputs (3 cams + 3 mics) is an Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro ISO or ATEM Mini Extreme ISO (depending on what I rent).
The...
I just recently bout my send M1 Mac, the 2021 iMac. It has two Thunderbolt 3 - USB 4 ports which claim speeds up to 40Gb/s. However, when looking for an external SSD that can support those speeds, I am really only finding drives with those speeds at prices higher than a Mac.
Are there really no...
Hi Guys,
Long story short:
bought an iMac 2012 21.5" late with a malfunctioning screen - top 1/3 was displaying OKish, while the rest was all garbled and just showing vertical lines as the mouse pointer moved.
It wasn't bothering me as I bought it to be a server, headless music player with an...
I recently bought a Mac and it came with the standard keyboard, but I am not a fan of it. Update: It appears like this was fake news, just watched the spring loaded event again and this numeric keyboard with Touch ID wasn't announced :( It's a pretty cool concept though, they should have a...
19,1 iMac, Big Sur 11.4, Mercury Elite Pro Dual RAID (2-6TB hard drives independently configured):
My question is why are the RAID drives so slow to awaken when Big Sur queries them especially in the Saving Menu. Maybe 15 sec have to go by before the RAID drives awaken for Big Sur. RAID...
Just got home from the local Apple Store. I'm setting up my new M1 iMac (again) and I am now having issues with Bluetooth. The keyboard is slow to respond unless it is plugged directly in via Lightning <> USB-C.
Is anyone else having Bluetooth keyboard issues with their new M1 iMac?
Big Sur 11.4, 19,1 iMac: Booting in Internet Recovery mode and repairing my main SSD data, why am I keeping 21 snapshots of my main SSD? Wouldn’t 10 be suffiecient? Why not 5?
Hi guys!
I'm a Brazilian Graphic Designer and I have a 15" Macbook Pro Mid 2015 256GB, but I'm thinking about changing to an iMac due to the beautiful large screen and to have more internal storage. Is there someone here who works with Graphic Design and who could tell me if an iMac with the...
Hi all, I’m having an issue with FaceTime. On my MacBook and iMac I am pretty sure I used to be able to see my recent call list from calls I made on my iPhone. They don’t update anymore. Also if I had a missed call show up on both macs if I cleared it on one it would also clear on the other...
Hey guys,
Got a quick question here. Also, not implying I'm having issues here , either: just curious about the behavior in the thread topic since it's the first time I've seen it.
With that out of the way, here is the question. I purchased toast pro 19 for a nice discount today. Everything...
I am between the iMac with 7 cores of GPU with 512GB 16GB, ethernet and Touch ID or iMac with 8 cores of GPU 512GB 16GB, ethernet and Touch ID. I don't use anything that I have to use 4 ports, so is it worth to pay more than 100€ (here in Spain) to have 2 ports more and 1 core of GPU more...
Hi, Hoping someone can give me insight...
I am running a 2021 iMac 27 with Big Sur. I have Wacom Cintiq 22HD (DTK-2200) that is connected via a DVI-D cable and a DVI-USB-C connector. Both Big Sur and the wacom Drivers are up to date. It was working fine and after a day I went to wake it up...
My home system has been a mid-2015 MBP 15" in clamshell mode with an old DellU2711 monitor, rarely using the laptop as a portable device. Office system is Windows based but we are completely Apple-based on home.
Post COVID, I'm now mostly remote, permanently, and am considering trading in the...
