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...
Hi,
I've got an issue with both the thunderbolt2 ports on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015 Running Catalina. (Model 17,1)
I have an OWC Thunderbolt 2 hard drive dock that isn't connecting to the iMac over thunderbolt 2. It can connect via USB3.0, but it is much slower and isn't able to...
Hey all,
Received my 10-core i9 with 5700XT GPU, 64gb user installed RAM, about a week ago.
It's a lovely machine, but I'm wondering if the community thinks that the 8-core might have roughly as good performance while having lower thermals, or if you think the thermals might be the same?

Hey Everyone,
I have been getting frequent Kernel Panics on my machine. I ONLY experience these Panic Shutdowns when I walk away from my machine and it is simply idling. With the exception of a few small Apps running, but nothing intensive like video editing processes.

Hi,
Picked an iMac mid2010 21.5 inch recently, it won't turn on.
I have done the followings:
1. checking PSU, seems working ok, pin 4 voltage 12 v.
2. checking Power on button, it works.
3. LED1 on the logic board is on once iMac is connected to power.
4. reset PRAM, SMC, nothing changed.

Hi Maccers,
We got a 27" mid 2011 and some days ago the GPU to take it's retirement. The new GPU arrived, iMac is dismantled and before mounting everything back in it's place I'm trying find out how to improve it's internal cooling. Is there anyone here who added extra fans or did something...

Ran Cinebench and Fanny is reporting 127º C on the CPU die (i5-10500), which is insane. Oddly enough, Intel Power Gadget shows temperatures immediately increasing to 100.0º C and then just capping off there, which is almost suspicious.
Any thoughts on what's with the 127º C?
Howdy,
I bought a 64gb ram upgrade kit from OWC for my brand new 2020 5k iMac, 27 incher. However, strange boot issues abound when I try to install all 4 sticks at once.
2 OEM sticks and 2 empty slots = boot normally
1 OEM stick + 3 OWC sticks = boot normally
4 OWC sticks = failed boot

I'm sorry if this violates a forum rule, but I don't know where else to turn. I'm trying to fix an issue with my iMac 4,1 and it seems Netkas is the only community that might be able to help. However, their forum registration is broken (seems to happen a lot) and I can't find any way to contact...
Hi folks, my 2019 5K iMac (which came with Mojave from factory) doesn't recognize when booting (with alt key pressed to access the boot options) a USB installer of Mojave and backwards (El Capitan etc), they literally don't show up when boot options appear. Funny thing is, it ONLY recognizes a...

- 1.25 ghz g4
- 256mb ram
- 80gb hard drive
- GeForce FX 5200 (I think, can’t check as its currently installing leopard)
This week I’ve maxed the ram out to 2gb. I’m in the process of waiting for my 250gb SSD upgrade.
two final things on...
It's the last supported OS and it's currently quite happy on Sierra 10.12.6. It's got a spinning 1TB HDD and core i5, should I just leave it on Sierra or should I upgrade to HS? TIA :)
