Can I run 2 monitors off late 2009 iMac 27

My late 2009 iMac 27 monitor just died. But the computer works fine.
I am addicted to using two monitors. The back of the iMac has a Thunderbolt port and a Firewire port.
The Thunderbolt port is now running an external monitor.
1. Is there a way that the Firewire port could be used to run another external monitor?
2. Could a USB to VGA cable support a second monitor?
3. Is there any way to run a second monitor?
Thanks.

Yup, that's really all you need to do - it's that simple. Once the monitor is connected and showing your extended desktop, go to System Preferences - Dsplays - Arrangement, and you'll see two blue rectangles representing the monitors. Drag them into the configuration you'd like (eg, aligned left/right) and you can drag the white menu bar across into the other rectangle to make the new monitor your primary (where you see dock and menus) if you'd prefer.

  • My late 2009 iMac is running slow, particularly on Mail, more so since I upgraded to Yosemite. I have run an Etrecheck but it doesn't mean too much to me. If anyone can point me to what I need to do I'll be very grateful.

    Thanks for all the replies.
    I've now installed the ad blocker, thrown away the unwanted files, and thrown away a copy of Firefox that Adware said had a problematic extension.
    Things are better, but still slow.
    Activity Monitor shows that with just Mail, Chrome and Excel running, 2.9GB of my 4GB RAM is used. Opening InDesign (always slow) increase that to 3.2GB. But the graph stays green.
    Console shows several potential problems but I don't know if any are significant. In any case I will call my Mac store tomorrow to ask their advice about RAM.

  • Late 2009 iMac running Yosemite freezing and won't wake up when Elgato Eye TV starts to record?

    As above really, not much more to add.
    My husbands late 2009 iMac recently upgraded to Yosemite (latest update installed yesterday) freezes while in sleep mode and has to be 'force shutdown' by holding power button down and then restarted to get it going again.  Recording is stopped.
    The Elgato Eye TV is a dual tuner with latest update. 
    Sometimes it wakes the computer up and begins recording, sometimes not. 
    No key taps or mouse jiggles get it to wake nor a quick press of the power button, I can hear the computer running and have to hold the power button down until all is quiet then fire it back up.
    Other times it just doesn't wake the computer at all and start recording.  I am all out of things to try, I think he had this problem before but not as badly when the iMac was running Snow Leopard. 

    Hi Boaz,
    I´m facing exactly the same with my Mini which is remotely controlled by a MacBook via Screensharing. Everything works fine unless the Mini goes to sleep. After that I´m not able to wake it up by the MacBook and Wake on LAN (Wol). Even the share is not listed in Finder´s sidebar anymore. It simply doesn´t show up in the share sections anymore. When I log on to my router I can see, that MacMini is not active and I can send WoL package from the router. That brings the Mini back alive, although it still doesn´t show up in the Finder sidebar. When I connect to the Mini via Finder "Connect to share" and type in: vnc://ip-MacMini I can use screensharing again.......
    Also I faced the problem with indexed network phantoms....means my Mini was listed in network shares with several different indices e.g. MacMini(2) and (4) and so on..... I wasn´t able to connect and curiously these phantoms show up even when my Mini was shut off! Looks like bonjour or something else is not working properly....
    I fixed phantoms by reseting my router (AVM firtzbox), which worked out perfect since yesterday and no indexed phantom is showing up anymore.....
    Haven´t fixed the screensharing or waking up thing yet....
    I was also taking part in beta testing program and reported these problems to Apple. In Mavericks everything worked really perfect!

  • Installing Windows 7 on a late 2009 iMac running Mavericks

    I'm running a perfectly good late-2009 iMac running Mavericks and had a bootcamp partition that worked until I needed to replace my hard drive.
    Now I want to install Windows 7 (via bootcamp) for gaming.  Bootcamp 5 won't download the software or allow a USB/ISO Windows 7 load due to my model/ROM version, which is:
    Model Name:               iMac
    Model Identifier:          iMac10,1
    Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed:          3.33 GHz
    Number of Processors:          1
    Total Number of Cores:         2
    L2 Cache:                      6 MB
    Memory:                       8 GB
    Bus Speed:                    1.33 GHz
    Boot ROM Version:        IM101.00CC.B00
    I've read quite a few threads about the apple software download server issues, creating an ISO, adjusting the BootCamp package, using virtualbox, etc. to bypass this.  But can't find anything addressing my specific situation where I'm running mavericks AND have an older ROM version that won't allow USB install for some stupid reason.
    I've made an ISO boot disk (and USB), tried adjusting my BootCamp package strings, and have virtualbox, winclone, Daemon tools, etc. but can't get to the point where I can upload the bootcamp software and Win7.  Has anyone solved this problem?

    No one has done this before?

  • Late 2009 imac as second monitor

    Hello, I just purchased a new iMac retina 27 inch. I am trying to use my late 2009 iMac 27 inch as a second display using a mini display port. I can get it to work my old cheap second monitor, but when I try the 2009 mac, and I press command F2, it shows the options to set up as a second monitor on the new retina mac but then after a few seconds the options disappear and they go back to being separate monitors. Just wondering if anyone has been able to make this work as I'd hate to have to sell my 2009 mac. Thanks in advance.

    You're starting in Target Disk Mode not Target Display Mode. Follow these instructions:
    Make sure both computers are turned on and awake.  (This is where you're going wrong)
    Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
    Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
    Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2.

  • Late 2009 imac with dead LCD; external monitor?

    Hello, all
    I need some help.  The LCD on my late 2009 iMac has failed.  I took it into the Apple Store and they told me it was dead and it would be $500+ to replace it, which I do not have.
    The machine is intact, however, other than that!  The Apple Store rep even told me that they tried it with an external monitor, to validate that the video card is working, and it worked fine.  Great news!
    My question, however, is how do I get it to boot to an external monitor?
    I have booted the mac in target disk mode, booted from that target disk on another mac, and changed the settings so that the display is mirrored onto a second monitor.  When I boot into the iMac, however, I get the Apple Logo and the "white screen of death" and the machine never finishes loading using the external monitor.  I need to know if there is some way to force it to use that monitor for the primary display.
    Cheers all, and thanks for any help!

    Hello,
    I'm wondering if boting from it's drive on the oother Mac didn't write some of the other Mac's Monitor info to it?
    Instead of Mirroring, what if you make the external monitor the main one by dragging the Dock to it?
    If you can ever get it to boot, this thread may be helpful if you want mirroing...

  • Late 2009 iMac Windows installer won't run

    So I will explain with more detail. My iMac is the late 2009 21.5 inch iMac with a..
    Intel core 2 duo processor
    4GB of
    500GB HDD
    So I followed the bootcamp guide which was made by apple.  I opened up the bootcamp assistant and downloaded all of the software needed, and started partitioning the disk. I made about 40GB of space for my Windows side. After the partition completed, my mac restarted and started to read the DVD. However, I only get a black screen, and I can't get the Windows 7 installer to run. I thought I have some problems with my install disk so I used virtual box to see if the dvd works. When I used it on virtual box, the installer started and everything went fine. But when I use this for bootcamp, it did not work. I tried resetting everything, using a different installation disk, redo the partitioning, or boot up the disk by pressing the option key at the startup and selecting the disc. But none of them worked. I don't know why this is not working, since windows installed without any problems on my macbook pro retina. If someone was in the same situation or knows a solution for this, please help me. Again it is the Late 2009 iMac 21.5 inch model.

  • Late 2009 iMac running sporadically slow

    Hi I was wondering if anyone could help
    I have a late 2009 iMac with 4gb of Ram which is running intermittently slow and hanging. It has periods when it works fine and then others where the icons bounce for ages before opening and the little spinning circles arrive when even doing the most basic of activities. I don't have hundreds of things open at once.
    Its hardwired to the network so even if streaming iCloud music it shouldn't really cause the system to hang.
    Its upgraded to Yosemite, but these issues were pre-exisiting and its been slow for a while.
    Use dropbox and appreciate big syncs will have an issue, but at the moment that is all up to date.

  • Bootcamp Issue – Late 2009 iMac running Yosemite

    Hi there,
    I'm having some issues installing Windows 7 on my late 2009 iMac running 10.10.1 and I'm hoping someone can help. I'm using the latest version of Bootcamp (5.1.2)
    I keep getting a black screen during the final step of installing Windows 7. I did some research and discovered that this is a common issue. Apple even created a support page for it. Much to my disappointment, downloading the prescribed drivers did not solve the problem. I followed the instructions word for word and even tried a few times. I erased the partition and started fresh each time.
    All of the forum threads about this issue I've read are pretty out-dated and I can't find anyone with the same issue on Yosemite.
    Has anyone else come across this issue or have any suggestions?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Jackson

    Can you also post the output of sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s4 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C ? This will dump the partition header which can confirm the format of Windows partition.
    sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s4 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C

  • 'Late 2009' iMac running hotter than usual (Power-related)

    For the past month or so, my 27" iMac (2.66 GHz i5) has been running hotter than usual (heat management has been terrible on these things for years). Using iStat Menus, I've tracked the culprit down to the power system, with the board and primary/secondary heat sinks regularly approaching 90º C (the secondary heat sink has actually hit 90º). The fans are ramping up as I would expect, but I'm a bit concerned over the frequency with which this happens. It seems like programs that, in the past, would not have taxed the CPU as much are suddenly ramping up to 100% usage, which obviously heats up the power supply. The only thing I can think of that's different is Mavericks (10.9.4). I know it has a few new bells and whistles that are supposed to use the CPU more efficiently and pull less power in the long run, but it seems like the exact opposite is happening.
    Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions (short of rolling back to Snow Leopard, which I might do)? Is this a sign that the Mac is on its way out?

    If the machine suddenly shuts down on its own or kernel panics, I'd be concerned.  Do not attempt to modify anything internally except ensuring the RAM is to stated to be Late 2009 iMac compatible.  Not all 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs (204-pin) RAM are alike.  http://www.crucial.com/ http://www.macsales.com/ and http://www.datamem.com/ all sell RAM by age of computer and model name.  Do not get ValueRAM.  Only get lifetime warranty RAM.

    Can I use a thunderbolt storage haqrd drive with my late 2009 iMac?

    You do have Firewire 800 and it seems plenty fast for most use. Easy to install and the cradles allow for multiple disks swapping or daisey chain for multiple cradles. 

  • Where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

    where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

    Depends on the original drive. According to OWC, at least last time I checked some months ago, any current WD drive they sell (up to 2 TB?) will be able to be swapped directly. I am unable to confirm this personally. But, even so, that was a while back. You should check with them again on this. As for Seagates, that might not be so simple.
    This is the original article on this from them.
    http://blog.macsales.com/2751-proprietary-cable-can-put-the-brakes-on-upgrading- late-09-imacs
    If you find a drive that OWC sells and is certain will swap in directly, you can see if newegg.com has it for less.
    This one that OWC sells will swap in directly, according to them.

  • Can I replace my HDD in my late 2009 iMac myself?

    can I replace my HDD in my late 2009 iMac myself? The current drive is toast and I've heard that late 2009 Apple started using HDDs with thermal sensors.
    If I can replace it, any suggested makes/models?

    Here is a link to an article that covers the harddrive issue in great detail:
    http://blog.macsales.com/10146-apple-further-restricts-upgrade-options-on-new-im acs
    The short answer is maybe. How tech savvy are you? It would require disassembling the iMac, removing the LCD panel and installing your replacement components. The job is primarily complicated by the wiring being very short and needing at least 4 hands to get things neatly unplugged and replugged. There are lots of YouTube vids of these teardowns, it is doable because people do it, the question remains can you?

  • HT3913 how do i add a second monitor to a late 2009 iMac 27"

    I would like to know how to add a second monitor to my late 2009 iMac 27". Has anyone already performed this and if so how?

    Depends on the monitor, many support more than one connection.
    Also note that: VGA is analog, DVI is digital and HDMI is full HDMI technology. 
    For a VGA supported monitor, you will need a > Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor and a VGA cable.
    For a DVI supported monitor under 24", you will need a > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adaptor and a DVI cable.
    For a DVI supported monitor over 24" you will need a > Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter and a DVI cable.
    For a HDMI supported monitor, you will need a > Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter and a HDMI cable.

  • Late 2009 iMac 27 monitor died

    I have a late 2009 iMac 27.
    1. Over the summer, the monitor would go black (but the computer kept working) if the room got too warm. I bought a fan, end of problem.
    2. A month ago, the monitor would go black if the brightness exceeded 1/3 (but the computer kept working).
    3. I took it to the local Apple repair shop and they changed the graphics card. Nothing.
    4. They said I need a new monitor, about $800.
    Again, the monitor works, just not over a certain brightness.
    I hope the problem might be some less expensive part that serves the monitor, but, what do I know.
    I'm in Korea and a new 27 Mac would cost about $2400.
    Thanks.
