3.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1333MHz DDR3, 2TB FREEZES UP FROM DAY 1
I have a new imac 3.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1333MHz DDR3, 2TB
Its been freezing since the day I've bought it. $2300 dollars down the drain.
I'm trying to edit with FCP but I never get very far. I called Apple support twice. Did the usual Pram, and pull out the plug and hold the button in for 5 seconds, when through the disk repair options, installed the OS. I'm afraid to call again, because i know their going to tell me to erase the disk. I also know thats not the problem, and its going to take a long time to reload everything. I have a MacBook i7, and a PowerMac which I also edit on, and there both solid. I'm an editor by trade.
So I just made a new account, attached a HD with footage on it, (I'm editing the same project on my Macbook, works great). Opened the project started to edit, 5 minutes in. Freeze... and the loud noise.
Been reading other posts... looks like this problem been going on for years.
Has anyone ever fixed this problem?????
Soon I will be boxing up the iMac and sending it back.
I've been editing on Mac's for 20 years.
I've never seen a Mac that really just does not work... this is it.
Its called the iMac. (also my iphone 3s died after a year)
Maybe Apple is getting too big.
Update: Packing it up and taking it back. I believe the Apple RAM is the problem. Lets see if the "Geniuses" can figure it out. I'm not holding my breath. When I brought my dead iphone 3S to the "Geniuses". They ran the same tests i did, had to wait around for a few hours to be told what i already knew. It was a dead. Listen, I Iove Apple, its so depressing, but I believe Apple knows theres a problem with the RAM on these computers. Too many people are having problems. Unlike Toyota, who pays for their faults.... Apple just gets away with it.
Update Just got my iMac back for the second time.
Again Apple has said there's nothing wrong with the computer.
Apple erased the hard drive.
I just tried to upload Time Machine... it froze.
Tried it again, it worked, got everything back.
Then wanted to update software.
Downloaded updated software, then when it rebooted and started to install, it froze.
Did it again.. it froze.
Now just bringing in the updated OS, it worked, rebooted.
Went to Safari... it froze.
Why doesn't the computer freeze when Apple has it?
Is Apple lying?

My macbook pro 13" 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB DDR3
what kind of 8GB RAM do you recommend to upgrade my laptop? is it samsung 2x8GB DDR3 or Kingstone 2x8GB DDR3?
or is there something better than those two?
Regards,As long as you get the correct type/model of RAM for your particular computer, brand does not really matter.

Hi, computer freezes constantly, video has lines through it or goes fuzzy to one colour. Cleaned up hard drive and it checks out. Half of the 300 Gigs are free. Any ideas please?

Take it in for diagnosis/repair. I suspect you have a hardware problem (or problems).

Dear Apple Support Community.
As mentioned by a number of users reporting the same problem, my 2009 iMac CPU3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, has become extremely slow and repeatedly "out of Memory" since it was migrated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (OS 10.9 then OS 10.9.1).
I have already run CleanMyMac, deleted 5GB of useless stuffs, which did not translate into any improvement. Following the advices collected in other Apple Support Community threads, I have applied EtreCheck the outcome of which is provided below.
For information, I have also upgraded my 2011 MacBook CPU2.3 GHz Core i7, 8GB which became only a bit slower than before, sometimes freezing which it almost never did before. However, I am used to the fact that Mac get usually slower and more prompt fo freeze after upgrading to a more recent OS.
Both my 2009 iMac and my 2011 MacBook have F-Secure installed. So the problem with the 2009 IMac is unlikly to be due to the presence of F-Secure. Interestingly, the few abnormalities found by Etrecheck were exacly identical before I ran CleanMyMac. There are two more findings (mentioned below) since I ran CleanMyMac on the 2009 iMac, which again didn't improve the problem.
So please find below the details of the EtreCheck experience and some additional measurements made with iStat while running EtreCheck:

Please find now some additional measurements collected with iStat while running EtreCheck:
Practically:
The iMac can work slowly with only one software e.g. either Mail or Safari or Firefox, but still the below "out of Memory" message occurs about every 3 minutes.
Aperture has becomre to slow to be useable
If trying to write a mail (with Mail) while Safari or Firefox is open, then the "out of Memory" message occurs about every 20 seconds so I need to check on "Resume" several times per minute.
Conclusions
From the above, unless anyone in the Apple Support Community proves to be able to identify a specific problem leading to a way to find a cure, I tend to conclude that Mavericks is not suitable for computers operating with a Core 2 Duo CPU even with a 8GB of RAM.
Unless I missed something, I did not see any warning from Apple Computer Inc. informing their customers they should refrain from upgrading Core 2 Duo Computers.
The only solution I see so far is to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion. And the Apple Support Community would confirm that it is the only solution, I would appreciate to get your guidance on how to proceed.
Intended action plan
Migrate the above 2009 iMac to a 2014 Mac Mini Server operating on Mavericks to ensure that no data may be lost while downgrading to Montain Lion.
Provided the above downgrading operation is successful, assign this 2009 iMac to partial retirement e.g. Mail, Skype, iTunes and DVD player.
In advance, I would like to thank the Apple Community for helping me either i) finding a cure to the problem, ii) or confirming that Mavericks cannot operate properly on Core 2 Duo computers, iii) and in such a case, guiding me on how to downgrade to Mountain Lion.
Yours sincerely
Core... what anti-virus would you recommend using?
Use what is already included with OS X. It already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind. -
I have a macbook pro 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo 2010 13" aluminum with 8gb of memory and a 250gb hard drive running version 10.6.8 with safari 5.1.4. Safari will open up intermittently on its own. System preferences and the dock isn't set up to start safari. Can't figure out why this is happening. Had reloaded system from scratch and noticed this happening lately.
Remove iAntiVirus, then reboot, see if it's better.

I have read several posts about the 27" i7 crashing and just inherited one. Several posts mentioned that alls-I-gotta-do is replace the memory. I haven't been able to find exact memory specifications. Can I use 8GB Kit (4GBx2), 204-pin SODIMM, DDR3 PC3-8500 memory module instead of (4GBx2)
1067 MHz DDR3 for my 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 27"?For your model the iMac 27" late 2009 Intel 2 core duo i7
uses
memory slots 4
204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
So that should work. -

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?
From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck -
Hi
My USB CF (Compact Flash) Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore.
Last week it worked fine to get pictures from my camera but now it won't mount at all.
I ejected it in the correct way rather than just disconnecting it but now i cannot get it to remount!
I cannot even see it in the disk utility or system profiler.
I have tried another card reader (a brand new one bought today) and the same problem exists. I've also tried different cards to see if that made a difference and they still arent being picked up on the Mac.
I have done all the usual things like rebooting, unplugging all other USB devices and then trying but nothing has worked.
I'm a photographer and I'm at my wits end here. I know the cards are fine as i have been using them without issue and they are also new.
Note: If I plug the camera in directly to the Mac, the Mac picks it up just fine as it always has done. Its just the card readers that it wont pick up anymore.
If anyone has any ideas at all other than the following (my so called friends advice) you'd earn my undting love:
Buy a PC
Use the camera (Thats why i bought the reader in the first place - importing RAW files from the camera is SLOW!)
Replace your CF cards (I have three 8GB cards two of which i had never used til today and they dont work either!)
Buy a new card reader (this is the 5th one in two days - none work on the Mac)
Many thanks in advance!
LIsaOK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount..... -
2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo/ 2GB ram upgrade ?
Please could someone tell me if I can upgrade my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo/ 2 GB SDRAM running 10.6.8 to Lion as I need it to run some 2015 software ?
IF I can, what are the dangers I must look for and will my laptop then be even slower than it is now?
Thank you very much,bruf wrote:
Anyway, you think 2011 is the starting point when searching ?
I apologise for my ignorance and thank you again.
You have no reason to apologize. We all have to start from the beginning in every endeavor.
I too am very happy with my 2006 MBP however with the introduction of HDTV, the 2006 MBP was not up to the task. That resulted in the purchase of the 2010 17" MBP because I needed that capability. Technological change does often require newer and better equipment. As I have alluded to, I still use the 2006 with great pleasure.
I have also purchased a late 2011 17" MBP which I feel is a slightly better machine than the 2010. The 2011 has SATA3 internal interface whereas the 2010 has SATA2. What this means is that the 2011 MBP can utilize the full potential of current SSDs whereas the 2010 cannot. Do not misunderstand, an SSD in a 2010 will still be a significant performance enhancement. Also a 2011 MBP will accept up to 16GB RAM (also at 1600 MHz) whereas the 2010 can only utilize 8GB RAM (the 2010 13' model being an exception). The 2011 MBPs also have slightly better GPUs than the 2010.
On the plus side for the 2010 MBP, it is more energy efficient than the 2011. In other words, longer battery run time.
The 2011 MBP has a quadcore CPU which is not the great advance that some may lead you to believe. It shines only when a given application can utilize the parallel processing that it affords. Though not as critical, do opt for the fastest CPU available if there is a choice.
I like the 17" displays in the newer MBPs (late 2008 and newer) due to the 1980 x 1200 resolution. That is compatible with HDTV. The retina display are nice, but not nice enough to warrant my purchase of a 15" model.
Both my 2010 and late 2011 MBPs will run any applications that a newer MBP will, but perhaps not quite as fast. Neither is obsolete, yet.
Ciao.
