Lately (maybe over the last year or so) the machine has started spontaneously entering sleep mode now and then during use. This is during non-gaming use, even while just web surfing, but more easily reproduced when doing things like viewing Google Maps in 3D. (Plus whatever macOS might be doing...
I am considering a replacement for my Late 2012 27" iMac for no other reason than keeping current. It runs as fast as the day I bought it 7-years ago.
I currently pair my iMac with a 27" Dell U2711 Monitor which I bought second-hand as it matches the resolution of my iMac. Windows do not change...
Hi there, i have a mid 2011 21.5” iMac and I am going to be upgrading my CPU, GPU, and Hard drive. My question is, after installing these things what do I need to do software wise other than install my operating system? I have heard something of “flashing” my new GPU but I don’t know how to do...

With NVIDIA releasing their 3000 line of cards just a few days ago and AMD supposedly releasing their Big Navi RDNA2 chips later this year, I was wondering if Apple will refresh the GPU option on the iMac 2020 one last time.
Apple has done such a move before in the past with the iMac Pro. On...

Hi guys,
i bought a Dell GTX770M, modified the cooler and flashed it with the bios of Nick (I thought so). The problem is, if i insert the graphics card, theres a blank screen but i can hear the chime. The motherboard status leds 1 and 2 are on, 3 and 4 are off. That means that the graphics card...
Alright so I work in a high school and just bought a new camera, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K and was wondering about my options about upgrading my iMac so I don't feel bottlenecked.
We made the mistake of taking the 1TB Fusion Drive instead of an SSD; I was wondering if using a...
Hi!
I woke up around 5 this morning and walked downstairs to get a sip of water. When I walked past my 27" 5K 2019 iMac (3Ghz Core i5) I was unpleasantly surprised to see a blinking folder icon with a '?' on its display.
I always put my iMac to sleep when I am going to sleep, but every now...

Has anyone else noticed that the mouse functionality on the new iMac has been hit and miss? I called apple support and I managed to get them to send me a new Magic Mouse but I've found the mouse functionality to be "wonky" on both the Magic Mouse and 3rd party mice. It's really odd. Has anyone...
Hi, I just installed a Nvidia gtx765m in my 27 iMac mid 2010. After installed everything worked fine with High Sierra install. The card came preflashed so I had bootscreen and could boot from USB. So I decided to try to install Mojave with Dosdude1’s patcher..... big mistake.... the screen went...
I have a iMac g4 running tiger(10.4.11) and I can’t get it to run leopard. I’ve tried everything: booting from usb solicits an error message that I have to force shutdown my computer. It doesn’t read the dvd and simply ejects it. I even tried partitioning the disk and mounting one partition as...
