Should I change other cable? or it just can't be work!!
Tks,You cannot use a 2011 iMac in Target Display mode.
Target Display only works with the 2010 iMac. -
My iMac (2011) has been persistently throwing this error message: "SafariDAVClient quit unexpectedly." This started when I moved up to Mavericks, from Lion. Nothing crashes, and all I have to do is click "ok" to get rid of the error window. Still, annoying, as this darn Error message pops up at least every 60 seconds Help?
Here is thev error data that shows up in my Console after it happens. Of course, it might as well be GREEK TO ME!:

That's related since the process is attempting to load your Safari bookmarks from iCloud, and is crashing for some reason.
Try this:
Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), then control-click, and from the contextual menu that appears, select Services > Reveal in Finder:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCloudHelper
Drag that entire folder to the Desktop.
Quit Safari.
Attempt to open iCloud Preferences again. If it opens de-select Safari.
Launch Safari again and determine if the problem is fixed. -
I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was. I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.
I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software.
The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.
when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist That will take you right to that file.
(.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.
It's fine to "unload"... we understand that you expect your iMac to be stable but there are times when things go awry. That's why we have these forums so that you can you get help.

I'm sorry you feel, "ripped off", but you are using the world's most advanced operating system and it may take some time to adjust to a new OS. http://developer.apple.com/technologies/mac/ -
Kernel Panics on a 27" iMac (2011)
Hey,
i have a big problem with my 27" iMac 2011 (i5, 32GB RAM, SAMSUNG SSD 256GB + 2TB HDD).
Once a day my Mac won't wake up after it went sleep. This happens for example over night. I cant turn it back on. Once I press a key oder move the mouse my wacom tablet gets power (so the Mac is still on) but the screen keeps staying black. The only thing I can do is to hard-power-off/on ...
2 weeks ago I got a new logic board at my supplier (because we all thought this would solve it) .. the problems are still present :/
After I turn it back on an check the crash reports the most freuqen reason for this kernel panic is com.apple.driver.AirPort.Atheros40. Any thoughts?
I run the Memory test a couple times. Can this kind of problems are being caused by external USB peripherals? Maybe my USB HUB (Belkin 7 port)...
I'd appreciate soooo much if you could give me any hint on how to solve this problem...Maybe any driver?
Here is one of the crash reports:

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?
I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
Is it 32 bit or 64 bit? -
IMac 2011 Thunderbolt - iWires MDP to HDMI
Hello all - I've had a good trawl through the communities and am unable to find a fix for my issue.
I've recently upgraded from a 2010 mac mini, with HDMI to a new iMac 2011 - which has the new thunderbolt port.
By my understanding, this will enable me to use the Thunderbolt Port - identical to the old Mini Display Port to output HDMI to my HDTV.
I've bought a MDP to HDMI adapter (http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H2774ZM/A/Mini-DisplayPort-to-HDMI-Cable-2m)
But my mac will not recognise my TV, no matter which way method I use.... ie turning tv off and then plugging in to the mac..
Do I have a dodgy lead / dodgy mac, or both!?
My intention is to swap the lead at the apple store - and see what happens... but in the meantime, I thought I'd pick your brains!
Cheers,
TomFixed.... turned both the tv and the imac off and on a few times.. eventually worked and is fine now. I can also confirm that the sound does work perfectly!
Tom -
Can i take RAM out of my old iMac (2008) and put it in my new iMac(2011)?
I added 2GB of RAM to my 2008 iMac. Can I add this to my new iMac (2011)? It came with 4GB of RAM.
Can you post your model identifier number on both please so we can pull up the specifications for both. You can find it by going to the apple, choose About this Mac, click on more info on the old Mac and System report on the new one; you'll find a window like this:
Please post that information (no serial # please). -
IMac 2011 + Intel 510 SSD Performance
Yesterday I installed Intel`s SSD 510 (120GB) in my iMac 2011 27 inch (along with a 2TB WD Caviar black)
Today I did some testing and the results are somehow disappointing.
It would be great if other owners of Intel`s 510 can post some benchmark results! Here is mine:
Tested with AJA:
Write: 131,3
Read: 174,4
720x486 8-bit and 128mb file size
The 510 in system profiler:
Finally: xbench
The results should be WAY higher!?
Does anybody have a hint what I did wrong?How did you manage to get the SSD and the 2TB drive in your new Imac? OWC said you couldn't update those internal parts. I am too looking to get an Imac 27" but I want to add my own SSD and 2TB drive similar to what you did. did you buy the imac with this set up already from apple? do you have to get the SSD/Harddrive combo from apple to have the parts needed for the replacement? thanks in advance.

IMac 2011 getting BSOD in Bootcamp
Hello all.
I installed Bootcamp on my new iMac (2011) and installed Windows 7 SP1. I downloaded the iMac drivers to a CD via Bootcamp, and installed this.
When I run Dawn of War 2 in Windows, I get the dreaded blue screen error with a "atikmpag.sys" error.
Now, I get that this has something to do with the Apple-drivers and the ATI-graphics, but what can I do about it?
I tried installing the ATI drivers from their web-site, but it says that my card is not supported.
How do I replace the Apple-drivers in Windows 7 with, say, ATI's own driver?
Thanks in advance.It is an ATI driver, this is the info from Display Adapters under Device Manager:
Driver Provider: ATI Technologies Inc.
Driver Date: 07-07-2011
Driver Version: 8.872.0.0
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
However, I did not download it from the ATI site. If I go to the ATI site and download the driver from there (after entering my hardware and OS info) it wont install. Says I don't have the proper hardware.
Instead, I downloaded the driver from here: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/mobility-radeon-drivers-support/206549-ati-mobilit y-catalyst-11-7-display-drivers-notebooks-27-07-2011-a.html
However, the issue is BACK! I played through several (10+) levels in DoW2 without any issues and exceptional performance, but then the game started freezing for several seconds, the screen turned either black or gray, and then the game went on - but just had a blue screen again.
Sorting the driver was my last idea, I am fresh out now. -
Basically my iMac just crashed and I searched on Google for replacing my hard drive and came across the iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program at http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive/
Which is that Apple is asking all 2009 - 2011 iMac users to return their iMac for a free hard drive replacement because it currently has a fault in it. After entering in my serial number, I see that my iMac is elegible for a replacement.
I did register my iMac with Apple, but I didn't receive any email about this program and I lost all my recent data because of the faulty hard drive. I never had an issue before with the drive so this just happened out of the blue.
Is it possible to get a free data recovery from Apple for this? I find that it was a lack of communication that I lost most of my data.I completely understand that it's my responsibility to back up my data but I have it set to every 2nd month, not on a weekly or daily basis to back up the data.
Apple might not be in data recovery business but could they not acquire a third party to do this?
This is what happened:
It was on sleep overnight and when I tried waking it, it was lagging badly. So I shut it down and restarted it. I phoned into techincal support to find out whats wrong, but they were giving me advice to reset the params etc. But i think it made it worse because it didnt want to get passed the white start up screen.
So I phoned back to ask if it's a usual issue with my version of iMac and the man replied that it isn't common and that I should run the disk utility to check the hard drives health.
I installed Mountain Lion on a USB and started the disk utility. Then it highlighted in red that it's a hardware fault and cannot be repaired by the disk utility. Therefore the hard drive has a serious fault with it.
That's when I Google'd for a replacement drive and came across the program. The techincal guy didn't even tell me about it or anything.
If I knew about this sooner, I would have taken it in for a replacement. -

I think all your answers can be addressed in a free session with an apple genius. All of your questions are about things that, as softwater points out, are free.
you have time machine already on your machine, hit command+spacebar and type time machine, hit enter. time machine will come up. Follow the steps it says to set it up.
Boot Camp (which I've never used) is also on your machine already. hit command+spacebar and then type Boot Camp. Hit enter. This is boot camp assistent. Use your CD of windows with this software and you'll be able to boot into windows 7.

On iMac 2011 stopped working audio output.
On iMac 2011 stopped working audio output.
Is it possible to transmit a signal through the audio input?There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store. -
Screen is permanently black on my iMac 2011, need help
Hi guys, I have an iMac 2011 21" and it works really great, I have bootcamped it for some games which also works great. But today I when I was rebooting to Windows after I had updated the Mac a problem occured. As the computer shut down in Mac mode the screen went black as normally, and it began starting in Windows mode, the startup sound came as normal but the screen stayed black. I waited for a few mins and it remained black. I restarted it and the startup sound came as usual but again, no lights. The computer was pretty hot when i felt it also, could that be a cause? I tried removing the loadcable completely for like 10 mins and started it again, same problem. I also can't see anything on the screen if i have light from a flashlight, I tested the Alt + CMD + P + R combo and it didn't work. Tested to put the Mac disc in and press C at startup, didn't work.
And also, the computer is working, because I can hear sounds (lower and higher the volume) and i pressed some keys and then Enter, and the "failure" sound came. Also, I'm not 100 % sure if the computer is in Windows or Mac at the moment, even though it was going to boot in Windows, it feels like it's in Mac, because there were no Windows sounds.
Please help me, thanks in advance!

SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
If that doesn't help you may be experiencing a video failure. -

iMac 2011 (12,1) only starting with 10.6.8 (but slowly start with blue screen). It not start with lion or yosemite. Re starting with Internet recovery. downloaded, but not start. Only grey screen with apple logo.
Howdy umaxmac,
As I understand it you have successfully reinstalled both Lion and Yosemite but you cannot get past this gray screen when you try to boot the computer. I would recommend you use the troubleshooting from the following article about gray screen issues, named:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
