Hi guys, I have a 2019 iMac 5k, 27", 40gb RAM, 500gb SSD I work on very large files for work and I don't keep anything on my computer aside from the Adobe suite and the current project at hand, so I always have a lot of storage space left as I off-load everything to hard-drives when finished... -
parents old iMac is slow, I want to speed it up.
Years ago, my parents bought a base model 2013 27 inch iMac(1 TB hard drive). It was fast then but not now. It's not impossible to use but there are a few more beach balls than I'd like to see and the overall performance is just slow. It also has a crack in the corner but it's not a big deal. I... -
iMac iFixIt adhesive question
I have to remove the screen to my late 2014 iMac, due to over heating issues. In hopes that it's just a dust issue and dusting out the interior will solve my problems. Anyway...

2010 27” iMac w/replaced hard drive 2015
I took it to the Apple store and they replaced the hard drive in 2015. It still didn’t work when I got it home. It would strike the familiar chord, the little apple appeared, the screen had wide white and yellow stripes. When the spinner stopped, the screen was white with little yellow squares... -
Does my 2013 iMac have a PCIe storage slot?
I bought a late 2013 21.5" iMac, with a 2.9GHz i5, a 750m, and a standard 5400rpm HDD (NOT A FUSION DRIVE!).

When will we see an iMac refresh and what to expect?
I’m looking to swap my current iMac (late 2014) with a brand new one. There’s been a lot of updates and improvements since I got mine, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a new one. But since the last refresh was in March 2019, it doesn’t seem like the right time to invest (yet), so I was hoping...
