Cause of Late 2013 Imac Kernel Panic

I have just got home from work to find my imac in a cycle of kernel panics. I have tried entering safe mode by holding the shift key when booting up with no luck (I'm using the apple wireless keyboard and there is no startup chime so I am waiting for a second or two).I would be grateful if anyone could diagnose the problem from this log and give me any adive to get back up and running:

Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Late 2013 iMac kernel panics and logging me out

    I have already followed up with Apple Support so I have a case open for this, but in case the hive mind here was ahead of the problem I figured I would post the issue here too.
    I have a 2 day old iMac (1TB Flash, 32GB RAM - not 3rd party, 10.9.1) that has kernel paniced twice and repeatedly logged me out in the short time I've had it. I've verified the drive, repaired permissions, done the hardware diagnostics test, and on suggestion from Apple Support, re-installed the OS (not a clean install, just a re-install). None of the tests resulted in any anolomalies.
    Overnight it appears that there was something called a "shutdownStall" that was tied to multiple processes, if that adds anything as I've never heard of that fault before: "AdobeIPCBroker,Core Sync,dbfseventsd,FMCore_2014-02-02-003807_Richards-iMac.shutdownStall
    But on the last forced log out (a few minutes ago) it appears that WindowServer crashed while I was using Safari. I am including the System Diagnostic Report for that crash here in case someone with more technical skills at deciphering these can make some sense of it:

    Best I can think is that there is something up with the graphics card or Mavericks handling of the graphics card or some settting related to graphics judging from the code, but that is me talking out of my nethers...
    Any additional thoughts?
    TIA!

    I'm suddenly having the same issue on my Late 2013 27" iMac that I purchased in November Richard.  I see that no one has responded to your post but I wanted to subscribe to this thread in case you or anyone else may have learned any more about this.
    You mentioned that you had a ticket open with Apple Care.  Did anything come of that?
    I put my iMac to sleep a couple of hours ago and when I returned it was still powered up but completely unresponsive.  I noticed that it was pretty warm when I rebooted it.  iStat Menus showed the SSD at 50c and the GPU at 48c.  There were no applications open previously, nothing at all running so I'm not sure what to think.
    I reset the SMC but no changes and the SSD is still running very hot while the GPU has cooled.
    I'll keep searching for some answers and open a ticket if needed, but I wanted to see if you had gotten any further with this.
    TIA!
    P.S.   Maybe it's our name? 

  • Late 2013 iMac Kernel Panics.... again

    After daily kernel panics, did a HD verify/repair per Apple Support and it seemed to stop. Anyway, started again and was hoping someone could make sense of the log:

  • Macbook Pro Late 2013 Regular Kernel Panic

    I have been working in the I.T. industry for 8 or so years now and have been using Apple products for the majority of that time fairly issue free. However at the present moment I am experiencing kernel panics on a regular basis but with no consistent pattern.
    I have performed the following tests:
    1. Hardware testing returned no errors.
    2. Restored Mavericks - recovery install (however panics continued)
    3. Updated the displayLink software to a beta release (however panics continued)
    4. Removed the displayLink software  (however panics continued)
    Next steps:
    1. Ask the fabulous Apple support community.
    2. Talk to apple support.
    3. Learn and perform kernel debugging.
    Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated as the lost downtime at work is not becoming an issue yet but will be if things continue.
    Thank you in advance.

  • More frequent Kernel Panics on late 2013 iMac

    For the last couple of weeks I have been experiencing random iMac restarts with the kernel panic message (http://core0.staticworld.net/images/article/2013/02/kernel-panic-pre-ml_300-1000 24407-medium.png). I have not installed anything suspicious, I have verified the HDD, everything is ok, done the hardware test after a restart (the D button) with no issues found and when I go to the Library, Logs there is no kernel panic report nor any other information on the issue. It seems as the aforementioned message just appears, the iMac restarts and comes back to normal without any additional problems/problem information.
    I have late 2013 iMac with os 10.10, everything up to date and fabric Ram memory with a lot of free space on the HDD.
    I would really appreciate if someone could give me some pointers or let me know what this could be. Thanks a lot!

    Here it is:

  • Late 2013 iMac running very slow

    EVERYTHING is running slow.  My iphoto screensaver keeps freezing, all apps open super slow (wheel spins and spins) and iCal is not syncing properly with google calendar anymore.  I'm not sure what happened in the past few weeks but it has gotten bad!  My computer is only a couple months old.  I ran etrecheck in hopes someone can tell me what's going on.  I also ran disc utility and it found nothing wrong with my hard drive.  I'm running 10.9.1, 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB memory. 
    Thanks in advance!!  If all else fails I will head to the nearest Genius Bar.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
    exec sh
    in the window and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
    8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If it happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

    Did you upgradde the RAM? If so, this may be your problem.
    If you want to upgrade to 32GB of RAM on your late 2013 27" iMac and don't want to pay Apple prices, buy the RAM from OWC.
    My iMac, crashed with the first batch of Kingston RAM sourced from an Apple approved service centre. Fortunately I got a full refund then sourced the RAM from OWC and it works perfectly.
    The benefits of OWC are
    1) You can order and ship globally
    2) The price is very competitve
    3) The website clearly states how they test the RAM and the comaptibility with your computers model no.
    4) They have a 30 day refund and a lifetime replacement policy
    5) You can get a rebate on your old RAM, although I didn't bother taking this up.
    Having been through the hassle, using OWC RAM is a no brainer and in my opinion the most convenient and effective upgrade. Hope this helps your decision!

  • Problem installing Windows 7 64-bit on late 2013 iMac 27"

    Is Windows 7 64-bit compatible with this computer?
    Hardware and software:
    • Late 2013 iMac 27", 3.5 GHz I7, 16 GB memory, 1 TB hard drive (no fusion drive)
    • Mac OS 10.9.1
    • USB thumb drive
    • Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.0
    • Windows 7 64-bit install disk iso image downloaded from Microsoft
    Install steps:
    1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 install (from iso image) and Apple Support Software (creates WININSTALL USB drive)
    2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create 50 GB Windows partition on iMac internal drive and start Windows install
    3. Complete initial install steps until given option to select install partition
    4. Select 50 GB partition. Error message that partition is not formatted correctly. Use Advance Options to format (presumably to NTFS)
    5. Select 50 GB partition again and click "Next"
    6. Get error message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
    7. Install quits at this point
    I have successfully installed Win 7 on another computer (2010 Mac Pro) using these steps. I also tried installation on the iMac using an iso image created from my original Win 7 64-bit install disk, with the same installation error as above.
    I'm wondering if Windows 7 and/or Boot Camp is compatible with this iMac. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    I am awaiting delivery on the exact model you have and have been researching how much trouble it will be to put 64 bit windows 7 ultimate on my machine when it gets here. I'm not pleased at what I've been reading so far. I have not seen the two other posts but yours is enough to concern me.
    Have you also seen that 10.9.1 update may be responsible for this? I've seen where 10.9 caused some problems with the bootcamp app but then the process was completely hosed with the 10.9.1 update. Are you seeing this as well?
    Being a life-long mac dude, it pains me when their stuff just doesn't work because it usually just does. ****, that's why I started on a mac in the first place.
    The support site says that they come with 90 days of complimentary support. Is this not an issue they should be responsible for addressing via support? Or is that just one long wait on hold waiting to talk to somebody that won't consider this a pure apple issue?
    I was also curious if your install .iso contains both 32 and 64 bit versions?

  • Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9 firewire audio problem on RME Fireface 800, MOTU 828 Mk II and Apogee Duet on late 2013 iMac i7

    I just got the late 2013 iMac 3.5GHz Intel Core i7 and all my firewire based audio interfaces do not work properly although I upgraded to the latest drivers. iTunes or Youtube can play for a short and then there are unbrearable digital noises.
    Apogee Duet is slightly better that can play for a few minutes. Then it may have short pause or digital noises. I need to reset the "Sample Rate" to other values to get it work again.
    MOTU 828 mk II and RME Fireface 800 are having the most serious problems. Alternating the sample rate can sometimes help but often I need to reboot the iMac to get it work again. However, it works for only 1-2 minutes before the digital noises.
    These are the software/drivers I installed:
    - Apogee Maestro 2 version 2.8.8
    - MOTU Universal Audio Installer for Mac OS X version 1.6.58373 (8/20/2013)
    - RME version 3.19, firmware 2.77
    I connect the fireware through Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire convertor.
    These drivers are supposed to work with 10.9 but they don't. Anyone can help or share experience?

    I've read in other forums that there are two issues that is causing this problem of chopping audio and freezing interfaces.  One has to do with USB 2.0 /USB 3.0 issues in OS.  The other seems to be an issue with the Fusion drive.
    The fix for the fusion drive issue that has been shared online is to either:
    Option #1.  Don't use the fusion drive and create an external boot drive clone (either SSD or standard HD) and use as your primary drive (completely surpassing the internal fusion drive).
    Option #2.  Split the internal fusion drive.  From there you can use them as two separate logical drives.  Load your OS on one of the drives (SSD or HD).   http://www.macworld.com/article/2015664/how-to-split-up-a-fusion-drive.html
    Before, you do any of the above, make sure that you backup your current system setup.
    I just received my imac (2013) with 3TB fusion and I plan on trying option #1.  I bought a 3TB external USB drive which I plan to clone after I have the machine running.  Once I clone the internal drive, I will test how the machine runs from both the internal fusion and the external to prove if this addresses the audio clipping/stopping problem.  Hopefully, Apple will find a fix for this.
    It is really a dissapointment that a brand new $2500+ machine and software was not tested to perform something that my 2008 MacBookPro and my home built Window XT machine (circa 2003) did without issue.  I wished that I would have checked the forums about these issues before I purchased the machine. 
    You can do some searches online and find even more detail discussions on this topic.

  • USB Audio Problems Late 2013 iMac - Clicking / Popping / Dropouts

    I am having audio clicking and popping issues with a brand new late model 2013 iMac and a USB 2.0 multi-channel audio recording interface.  Here is what I have learned so far:
    Clicking and popping is occurring in both directions - playback and recording.  I am not having any issues with internal audio, so this was easy to verify.
    The same issue appears in many threads in Apple Support Communities and in various recording/pro audio forums, so this seems to be a common issue.
    The issue is independent of the audio interface that is used.  (I am using a brand new Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 that I purchased specifically to use with my new iMac, but the forums report the same issues for a variety of other interfaces and audio devices.)
    Five potential root causes are mentioned in the various forums:
    1)  USB 3.0 compatibility issues - poor backward compatibility or other issues
    2)  Fusion Drive activity - artifacts caused by drive "swapping"
    3)  OS X version - newer versions may be worse than old versions
    4)  App Nap - ?
    5)  Driver issues
    Potential short-term solutions include:
    1)  Change driver - The "Class Compliant Mode" app (that I downloaded from the link on the Focusrite website) improved the issue for me, but clicking and popping occurs every few seconds instead of constantly.
    2)  Exchange the Fusion Drive for a conventional 7200 RMP hard drive - Forums report that this does not fix the issue.
    3)  Install older version of OS - Forums report that this does not fix the issue.
    4)  Disable App Nap - Forums report that this does not fix the issue.
    5)  Belkin Thunderbolt express dock - Forums report that a Thunderbolt hub with USB gives excellent results, but the only one I am aware of is the Belkin one which is ~$300.  (I will not pay $300 to fix thousands of dollars of new equipment that should not need to be fixed!!!)
    6)  Apple Care's advice was an SMC reset (essentially a reboot), which clearly did not work.  The person that I talked to was not aware of this being a known issue.
    I am at a point where I need to decide whether or not to get a refund for this iMac since my primary reason for getting this new computer was recording.  So...can anyone help to answer these questions:
    Has Apple acknowleged this issue?  If so, has Apple committed to fixing this issue via a software upgrade or have they admitted that this is a hardware limitation that is not fixable?
    Has anyone found a free or inexpensive workaround (i.e. not the $300 Belkin dock) that completely elimiates this issue?

    I'm also having audio issues on my new late 2013 iMac via the USB headset.  Audio starts playing fine and then static starts creeping into the audio until it drowns out the sound.  Only way to fix is to unplug the headset and then plug it back into the USB port.
    I've tested the headset on other PCs and my older iMac and the issue doesn't show up.
    I've re-installed Mavericks on the iMac, without nuking my data, but that still doesn't solve the issue.
    I've logged a case with Apple support and they had me run a program which gathered up a bunch of information to send to their engineering team.  No updates yet so far.
    Just one question for those that also have this issue.  Did you restore your data from a Time Machine backup, or is this issue also happening on the Mac that's fresh out of the box?
    I'm wondering if this issue could be caused by restoring data from my Time Machine, but I don't want to go through the hassle of nuking my entier hard drive and having to reinstall everything from scratch just to fix this issue.

  • Installing Windows 7 on Late 2013 iMac w/ Fusion Drive

    Sorry in advance for the long post, but I have tried to exhaust all possibilities, and bring as much knowledge about our environment to the table to avoid confusion.
    Here's our goal:  Install Mac & Windows on a Late 2013 iMac with a 1TB Fusion Drive
    Install our Mac Image with Deepfreeze on Partition 1
    Install our Windows 7 x64 Image with DeepFreeze on Partition 2
    Here's why our goal cannot work out of the box:
    Deepfreeze for Mac, is not supported on a Fusion Drive. Now before anyone says "just don't use deepfreeze"...we are using it, and that is that.
    In order to get our existing image to work on the iMac, we had to split the Fusion Drive.
    Splitting Up the Fusion Drive
    We booted into Recovery, Opened up terminal, retrieved the LvGUID, deleted it, and split up the SSD from the HD.
    So now, we have a 128GB SSD, and 1TB HD showing up under Diskutilitiy.
    We then partitioned the 1TB HD, into two, 500GB Partitions. One for Mac OSX 10.9.4, and the other for Windows.
    The 128GB SSD is going to be used for scratch space, temp, etc. And is irrelevant at this time.
    Deploying our Mac Image
    After splitting the Fusion Drive, we netbooted and installed a "NetRestore" of our image. Worked completely fine, no issues. DeepFreeze Works fine, the 128GB SSD shows up just fine, and the other 500GB Windows Partition shows up fine. All drives / partitions can be written to with no problem.
    Deploying our Windows Image
    Deployed our Windows Partition image as we have done in the past, by booting into a windows PE Disk. (We have other various 2009, 2010, and 2011 iMacs across campus, with NO FUSION DRIVES installed, and dual boot them successfully using the same procedure. Minus the splitting of the fusion drive part of course) After the Windows image is deployed to the windows partition, we then boot it up to a Windows 7 Install disk to fix the MBR, Bootrec, and BCD options to allow it to boot properly. Here's where we run into issues: Upon getting the Windows 7 Install screen, the USB Keyboard and Mouse, DO NOT WORK.
    Here's the options we've tried to get them to work properly
    1. Tried another known working Mac USB Keyboard & Mouse = Failed
    2. Tried a known working Windows Keyboard & Mouse = Failed
    3. Plugged Just a known working Mac Keyboard into each USB Port to see if recognized = Failed
    4. Plugged Just a known working Windows Keyboard into each USB Port to see if recognized = Failed
    5. Plugged Just a known working Mac Mouse into each USB Port to see if recognized = Failed
    6. Plugged Just a known working Windows Mouse into each USB Port to see if recognized = Failed
    7. A Windows 8.1 Recovery USB will boot and the USB Mouse & Keyboard are recognized and installed! (YAY!!) However, we cannot repair a Windows 7 install with Windows 8.1..
    BootCamp Drivers & Support Media
    Downloaded the Current BootCamp Support drivers to enable the USB and other various drivers to be loaded during setup (Placed the $WinPEDriver$ and AutoUnattend.xml, and BootCamp folder on the Root of a USB, and modified a Windows7 Installation disk and placed on the root as well) The drivers do not load. Have also placed on a brand new USB2, and USB3 flash drive formatted at FAT32, to see if that made a difference, which it did not. The BootCamp USB made within Mac, it loads saying "Now booting into Boot Camp Assistant Created USB Drive..." or something like that (Don't remember the exact Message)
    Side Note:
    Restored Fusion Drive to its original State, and booted from the BootCamp USB drive, still no usb Mouse & Keyboard Support.

    I have same issue
    Tried everything differend hdd,ssd  as well
    Basically when trying instal win 7 via iOS maverick when reboting and windows booting to the first scree everything freezing cant do  much.
    Also tried install clear ssd without any system, but soon after format ssd or hdd I have error that I cant use this disk to install windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    What is funny Windows 8 installing without any problem!!!
    what is going on APPLE??wher is support
    This issue I have only on Late 2013 on my other Late 2012 this issue not exist and everything working as should.

  • Cannot install Windows 8.1 on Late 2013 iMac

    Attempting to install Windows 8.1 (retail) using Boot Camp Assistant but when I get to the "Select disk to install windows" screen, nothing appears.
    I'm using a retail copy of the Windows 8.1 full installer DVD and I have the midrange 21.5" late-2013 iMac.

    Installed my retail copy of Windows 8.1 from Windows 7 without any hiccups or hacks. Windows 7 can be installed in trial mode for free and easily by downloading a legal ISO from Digital River. Create a USB installation with Boot Camp Assistant and proceed as normal using the Windows 7 ISO. During Installtion, skip entering a license. After Windows 7 is successfuly installed, boot back into OSX and create just a drivers USB using Boot Camp Assistant. Boot back into Windows, insert your retail Windows 8.1 disc or use your download and let it install. Be prepared to do several "Hold-Option" boots to kick it into windows. Installation probably had 6 reboots.

  • Cannot install Win 8 on a late 2013 iMac using bootcamp on 10.9

    I'm trying to install Win 8 on a late 2013 iMac (purchased a couple of months ago)
    I have a win 8 pro DVD, but obviously there is no DVD in this iMac. I usally use the DVD drive in my older 2009 iMac for any disk based installs but I can't appear to use it here.
    I followed the instructions and downloaded a Win 8 Pro ISO from Microsoft to use with my authentication code, created a bootable USB using bootcamp, created the partition and rebooted. Once I'd entered the code I get to the install location but it says I cannot install on the partition created by bootcamp. Even if I format the partition it says I need a GPT drive but I have MBR, so won't let me install.
    I tried several suggestions including creating aprtitions in various other programs and once I even got past that screen, but as soon as it tried to install I got another error saying the MBR was formatted incorrectly and it failed.
    I had no issues installing Win 7 via bootcamp on the older iMac, but this one has me stumped. I used to think I knew a bit about computers, but I'm fairly new to Mac related issues as the older iMac has always just worked.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    I just installed Windows 8.1 on my Late 2013.
    There are just a couple of things I had to do that deviated from the Boot Camp Installation Manual.
    1.  I downloaded my copy of Windows 8.1 as an ISO image AND as a bootable USB from the Microsoft site.
    Not sure why I did that but it came in handy because Bootcamp was taking a very long time to copy the ISO onto the USB stick..
    The ISO copying seemed to freeze up, but it's likely that it was just taking a long time, probably 20mins.
    So, instead of waiting, I took the contents of the the USB startup stick and simply moved them over to the stick that Bootcamp had formatted for the ISO copy (I cancelled that copy function and deleted any files that had copied but didnt complete).
    Once that was done, the machine rebooted from the USB stick and began the normal Windows setup process.
    All went very smoothly except that my mouse was not working.
    2.     To get around the mouse issue, I simply plugged in a MS USB Mouse and it worked immediately.
    The Bootcamp manual advised that the way around this was to 'click in upper right corner and search for Bootcamp'.   Problem was, it was nowhere to be found.
    So, using my MS mouse, I navigated to the 'DESKTOP' icon in Win 8.1 and found File Explorer, which showed my USB stick connected along with Bootcamp and the MS Support File (i.e. All the Apple Drivers).
    I began manually clicking on all the driver files until realizing that there IS a Bootcamp executable which will automatically install the drivers for the Nvidia card, keyboard, camera, mouse, etc....
    Once that was done, my installation was completed.
    The entire process took about an hour, but now that I've done it, it really shouldnt take much more than 45 mins.
    I have the late 2013 iMAC, with the GTX780M and 1TB Fusion Drive i5 Quad Core.
    For those who are leery about doing this, please note that I'm a PC 'lifer' and this is my very first go-around with doing anything on an Apple product.
    It all went much more smoothly than I could have imagined, but if you are not a PC person, you might be a little challenged finding the Bootcamp in File Explorer or doing anything in Win 8.1 to get over these minor hurdles.
    Good luck!
    I'm looking forward to getting STEAM up and running to see how this thing games!

  • Will Late 2013 iMac boot from Snow Leopard External Drive?

    Hey gang-
    Got a new late-2013 iMac for Christmas (yayyyy!!)
    I plan on running Mavericks for day-to-day use, but there are a few old Power PC apps that I occasionally need to run. Does anyone know if the new iMacs will boot from an external drive running Snow Leopard? I have an external Firewire drive with Snow Leopard on it and I'm wondering if the new iMac will boot from it if needed.
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Thanks gang.   No worries- I keep an older Intel MacBook with Snow Leopard on it and I suppose it will do in a pinch.
    Cheers!
