Have an iMac (early 2008). Safari worked fine. I could watch videos on YouTube. I downloaded 10.9.2 and You Tube videos will no longer load on Safari, but I have no trouble viewing using Firefox. I wonder if the new 10.9.2 download corrupted Safari?
Do I have a Safari problem? Since downloading 10.9.2 Safari no longer loads YouTube videos on my iMac. Firefox downloads the same videos from YouTube with ease.
Safari > Preferences > Security > Internet Plug-ins
Checkmark the box beside "Allow Plug-ins".
Best.

Have an iMac Early 2008 + Windows 7 and no sound from speaker out? SOLVED!!
Hello everyone,
So I'm pleased to say after over a month of trying to solve this annoying problem, it's been solved! Basically, if you have an iMac, Early 2008 edition (8,1) and Windows 7 and notice that the default microsoft driver gives very low sound and the new realtek drivers only give sound through the internal speakers... then this solution is for you!
What you'll need:
7-zip (www.7-zip.com)
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Disc 1 (NOT Snow Leopard!)
Here's what you'll need to do, step by step:
1) Uninstall the Realtek Driver (latest version currently 2.37) by going to Control Panel / Programs / Uninstall Programs.
2) Reboot. Upon reboot, the system will automatically reinstall the default Microsoft drivers. You can check this in Device Manager (control panel / system / device manager).
3) Insert the original Leopard Disc 1 that came with your iMac (very important, as this is the only driver I know for sure will work). Point windows explorer to the folder: D:\Boot Camp\Drivers (assuming d: is your cd-rom drive).
4) Copy the "RealTekSetup.exe" file somewhere on your desktop. Do NOT install it!
5) Decompress "RealTekSetup.exe" by right clicking the file and choosing "7-zip decompress". Again, you'll need to make sure you installed 7-zip from 7zip.com prior to doing this.
6) Go to your Device Manager again, right click the sound device (which should be something like High Definition Audio) and choose "Update Device Software".
7) Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and direct it to the folder that you extracted the drivers to.
8) You now have sound through your EXTERNAL SPEAKERS!
This works because there is a bug that RealTek/Apple does not seem to want to fix where the newer version of the RealTek control panel detects the speaker out as line in and the line in as nothing! This forces drivers normally made for Vista or Vista64 to install on Windows 7, which work 100% great.
I promise you, if you have an Early 2008 iMac, this WILL fix your problem if you follow each step! Let me know if you have any questions!
Brad LevicoffIf you don't have any Leopard disk then just google for "Vista_R199.exe".
This driver works nice on Early 2008 IMAC. I also tried an earlier version, Vista_R182.exe but there sometimes was a horrible background noise which made listening to music impossible.
Just download and follow the instructions above in the first post.
Have fun.

Viewing news and you tube videos freezing or pausing
I have had my Macbook Pro for almost 3 months. Latest model. I thought it was suppose to be the best so why when I view news videos, you-tube or any other video, they will slowly load, start then pause with spinning beach ball then resume, then pause again? I have 4 GB of memory and processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5. What do I need to do to remedy this problem? Thanks for any help.
And what speeds are you paying for? If you're paying for more speed than you're getting, I'd be hollering about it if I were you.
I'm paying for 16 Mb/s, and I believe I will be talking with my ISP on Monday. -
It's a very technical problem and only few peoples can understand it, but I certain it's making a lot of internet slow... sorry my "bad" english, i'm brazilian and i don't use translator :)

I have been trying to download Maverick on to my 2012 MacAir. It gets to 996MB and stops. A message says there has been an error in the download and to go to purchases and try again. It's the same every time I try.
Any ideas?Hi Guys:-
If this SAME problems is effecting us all then suspect its not IPS problem as we all get problem at 995.6MB.
I would think that there is some kind of software conflict. If we all having this problem just think of how many users have the same but are not on this discussion board, bet you its 100s and 100s.
Not possible for me to visit store now but will monitor your responce's.
Good luck guys, lets make um give us a fix:- I will call them tomorrow and see what they say:- should point support to this Discussion page and they can answer us !
Cheers and good luck also -

I have an iMac (early 2008) 2.4ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB ram, 250GB hdd, OS X 10.9.4. About 8 months ago, we got a call from our Internet provider (Cox) telling us we were were eating up about 250GB of bandwidth a month, and they were going to start charging us extra for it. I monitored it for a few days and found that as soon as i turned on the Mac, it started eating up bandwidth. Took it to the Genius bar, but they were clueless.
I just bought a refurb iMac (late 2009) 2.66ghz, Intel Core i5, 8 GB ram, 1TB hdd, OS X 10.9.4. Should I transfer all my files over to this new one from the old iMac, or should I try to get the problem fixed before the transfer. Also, I'm hoping to salvage the old iMac, and let my wife use it once I've got it fixed.Most often BitTorrent, iCloud, Dropbox, or some other cloud-data application is involved in cases of mysterious bandwidth use by a Mac. If you use iCloud, uncheck at least Photo Stream and Documents & Data in its preference pane and see whether there's any change. If you use third-party network backup or file-sync software, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.
Otherwise, if you're running OS X 10.9 or later, you can see which processes are most active on the network.
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select All Processes from the View menu, if not already selected, and also select the Network tab.
Click the heading of the Sent Bytes column in the process table to sort the entries by bandwidth usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Repeat with the Rcvd Bytes column. -
Adding ssd to an iMac early 2008
I have an iMac early 2008 with a hd by sata. I have also SuperDrive by pata/IDE. If I change the hd by a ssd by sata and a 1 tb hd by pata, I will increase the speed of my iMac? Another option is to install osx on a ext. FireWire 800 ssd with a box, which is the best option?
Adding the SSD for a boot/application volume will dramatically increase the speed of booting and application launching. Retrieving data from the pata hard drive will be slower than the existing SATA interface that your hard drive is on now. I don't know if that's enough of a speed hot to actually notice. The SSD will make the computer feel MUCH faster, I put one in my MacBook and it feels like a completely different machine, it's the single best upgrade I've ever done.
I don't know how much an SSD in an external FireWire enclosure will speed thins up but I'm considering the same thing as I don't want to open my iMac and risk messing something up. -
Can I put a SSD in my Imac early 2008

Yes. Tutorials on YouTube. Search: 2008 imac SSD.

Trouble playing You Tube video on iPad 2 - stops/starts - can't get through a single video. HELP.
I have the iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G but it's not currently on my Verizon plan - only connects via home wireless internet. I'm confused as to why I've never been able to successfully play/view any kind of video via the internet? The video loads and begins to play...but about 10 seconds in...it hangs up and then I have to play a cat and mouse game of pause/play to get it to 'load' a little bit more...and finally about 60 seconds worth I throw in the towel and head for the iPhone or my Mac. So what gives? My iPad does so much...even plays videos I TAKE. Why won't it play You Tube videos???!!! Is that Icon on my Home Screen just to taunt me and store the videos I'll never be able to view more than 10 seconds???
Please help guide me to the simple fix.
Recent convert to all things Apple,
3TrievsTry viewing youtube from the browser and going to youtube.com rather than using the YouTube app.
Also, try at different times of day and report back. Where I am, by 7pm the cable modem slows down considerably with all the Netflix viewing. I swear Comcast is throttling bandwidth for video streaming! -
I can't seem to use the 'Check seats' link on the Delta Airlines site when I use Firefox but Safari works fine. I get the message 'not available at this time' when using Firefox but when I go to Safari it works fine. I love Firefox but this sucks!

I deleted duplicate files with MacKeeper and now my firefox only shows text. I have reinstalled firefox, java, and checked all of my settings. Any ideas? Safari works fine.
I opened iCal back up, all the dates were blank, so i started to type events into a date.
As soon as I started to double click a date to type an event, magically all the events in all the months reappeared.
I'm still puzzled why it acted this way and if I did delete something that caused it to act this way. -

This seemed to happen very suddenly; I left my iMac running while i went out and came in to find that the screen was totally unusable, as you will be able to see from the picture it has a lot of lines that seem to come and go a random and sometimes it goes black all together. What do you think is wrong with it? Logic board? Graphics card? Screen itself?.. also if it is the graphics card, is it separate to the logic board or do both need to be replaced?
Also some additional info:
iMac Early 2008
2.4ghz
4gb Ram

ATI Radion HD 2400
Actual computer working on external monitor, just not internal
ThanksCosts vary by area, I think you may find out though that spending money on a 6+ year computer may not be worth it, you can buy an Apple Refurbished Mac with much more up-to-date specifications and save hundreds of $s. If this is of interest you can only find them on Apple's on-line store, in the US the current link is:

Then click the link to the iMacs. If you don't find one you want, continue looking the inventories change frequently, sometimes by the hour. -
Display freezes using Safari 5.1 after Mac OS 10.74 install - iMac (early 2008)
After installing Mac OS X 10.7.4 on a 24-inch iMac (Early 2008), experiencing display anomalies and freezes, while using Safari and web-based e-mail.
Screen will go all white, system will lock up, requiring power-off restart. Latest incident while using Safari -- display went green with vertical blue stripes, system hang, requiring power-off restart.
System details: Intel iMac, 24" (Early 2008), 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 2 GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.7.4.
Any suggestions on how to resolve these video distortion / system hang problems would be greatly appreciated.As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
