How to connect early 2009 IMac 3.06mhz 4GB 1TB to Cinema Display
I have an old DVI to ADC apaptor that fits the old Cinema Display but the IMac only has mini display port, do I need another adaptor for the adaptor or a different adaptor?
The fifth and sixth item on this page are DisplayPort male to Mini DisplayPort female "Extension cables". Under US$6 plus shipping from a reputable seller:

Which Firewire Cable to Connect Drobo S to 24" Early 2009 iMac? Thank you.
Hello Support Communities,
Which Firewire cable do I need to connect a Drobo S to a 24" early 2009 iMac?
Firewire 800? Firewire 400? 8 pin? 9 pin? 6 pin?
Thank you.The iMac has Firewire 800 it is a 9 pin connector as shown…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1394
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Firewire800.jpg
Wikipedia also says the Drobo S has Firewire 800 & USB2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drobo
A Firewire 9 pin to Firewire 9 pin cable should be fine, otherwise you could use USB2 but it is slower & less reliable than FW 800 in my opinion. -
How do I get sound to work on my early 2009 iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?
The sound on my early 2009 iMac has stopped working after upgrading to Yosemite from 10.6.8.
It still makes sound when I boot it up, so I don't think this is a hardware issue.Hi qhaine,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble hearing sound from the iMac speakers. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

How to restore an early 2009 iMac running Mavericks back to factory settings without discs
Today I got an early 2009 iMac from a family member, I would like to restore it back to its factory settings as if I was setting up a brand new computer. He does not have the discs that were originally with the iMac when he first purchased it. It is currently running on Mavericks OSX. Is it possible for me to restore this computer back to factory settings without the discs?
No. Phone Apple and order replacements, or if you don't need iLife, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store; the retail DVD can be used to create a bootable OS, but not to perform a true factory restore.

Want to clean and reinstall my early 2009 IMAC, but have Snow Leopard and no discs
Have an Early 2009 IMAC. My daughter (14, and an indiscriminate clicker of "OK" buttons on pop ups to get rid of them) has been using it for a year, and is it is now running very slowly, locking up, etc. I am not particularly computer savvy, but would like to do a full clean of hard drive and reinstall. Can't find the Snow leapard discs (My current OS X is 10.6.8), but want to go to yosemite to match my more current mac air. Questions:
1. Yosemite haters, I know there are people who feel that this is a risk, but otherwise this thing is pretty much an attractive paper weight.
2. I could upgrade my RAM to 8 GB (only has 2 slots being an early 2009), is that necessary? I would rather just upgrade and see how it goes.
3. I have backed up to time machine.
4. Yes, I bought a cheap PC (boo hiss) for my daughter, but at least she won't be touching this one anymore

I have an early 2009 iMac need advice
I am new to this forum. As I mentioned in subject I have an early 2009 iMac with 4 GB of Ram. I am up to date with my operating system, running Yosemite 10.10.1.
My problem is that my computer is slow - very slow. It takes forever for the computer to start up and once it up forever for programs to load. Mail is the best example taking it a minimum of 5 minutes to load and in the mean time nothing else will load. RecentlyI started running the disk utility and repairing permissions. That helps a tiny bit. I also got CleanMyMac 2 and use it as well. In reading some of the forum I noticed someone suggested to run an EtreCheck report and post its report which I have done. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Chrome is very resource intensive.
It is possible you are running other memory intensive apps.
You have a lot of 3rd party additions loaded at boot time. Do you really need all of them? Even after you get rid of MacCleaner (as suggested by rkaufmann87).
Do you really need the seagate and WD drive software? The Mac is fairly good at accessing disks without 3rd party intervention.
Any of the 3rd party additions listed by EtreCheck that you do not need, you should consider uninstalling.
That fact that you have
171.19 GB Page-ins
in just about 4 days, says you have about 0.5megabytes per second. That is a huge load on your disk drive.
Either cut back on the RAM intensive apps, or get more RAM. At least 8GB, but if your Mac supports it, 16GB. Crucial.com and MacSales.com (OWC) are well respected by the long term forum contributes. -
Early-2009 iMac Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
I have a 24" early-2009 iMac (2.66 Ghz, Intel based, 8 GB of RAM, 2 TB hard drive, Mountain Lion OSX). Apple's website fails to list my particular iMac in the list of machines that can only run Windows 7 Pro 32-bit so I bought a 64-bit copy (there was another website that I located that listed my iMac as being capable of running both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions). Today I went to load Windows 7 throuh bootcamp, but the instructions for bootcamp state that the 64-bit version can only work on iMacs starting in LATE 2009.
Does anyone know if the version of Windows 7 that I have will work with my iMac? Anyone had any success loading Windows 7 Pro 64-bit through bootcamp on an early-2009 iMac?
Please note that I posted a similar question earlier today, but it wasn't listed under this particular community and figured this was the better place to ask this question. Also, I have reviewed other similar postings but most seem to get into the technical issues of loading Windows 7 through bootcamp, but don't address the issue here of using an early-2009 iMac. If, however, I have overlooked such a posting then please direct me to it because I want to get Windows running so I can run Microsoft Office.
Thanks.There has always been a way to get x64 to install - where there is will there is way. I have 2006 Mac with 64-bit processor (Xeon) but EFI is 32-bit, which would also mean that even if I used 32-bit Windows I would only be able to use a meager 1.9GB RAM! to say I ain't about to and amused at this is an understatement.

Some require using your Windows in a VM first.
VirtualBox is free VM
Windows 8 Preview is also free (32/64 versions)
The iMac was really strange. Even the 2008s had Penryn 64-bit processor and Apple had started supporting both MacBook and MacBook Pro 64-bit (they later degraded MacBook to not being supported in late 2008 - really ).
You want Office, and it might run just fine in 32-bit in a VM so another reason to try VirtualBox - I know Excel runs better natively
Macs that work with 64-bit editions of Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
If you see this:
"Installation error: Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model."
Means just use control+click and "Troubleshooting Compatibility Mode" and/or use the BOOTCAMP64.msi app directly instead of SETUP or anything else. I know Lion Boot Camp support software is even more agressive at this whole "unsupported" stuff - very odd to say the least. -
i am replacing ram in an early 2009 imac. easy - right? but the pulling on the tabs didn't work. i have had the ram sticks out before; but now they don't budge. should i apply more pressure? use a tool to pull harder? will the tabs break off?
sorry for the format - my 1st question...thanks Kappy.
the computer has beem working for years after my 1st ram removal; but i may have pushed them back too hard. i did pull firmly - tried pulling up slightly; tried tugging on the sides of the stick; pulling in pulses. the only thing i have not tried is using needle nose plyers with protection on the tab film itself.
have you had the pulling harder ever work? or break the tab? -
Where is the cheapest place to buy 8gb ram upgrade for my early 2009 iMac?
Where is the cheapest place to buy 8gb ram upgrade for my early 2009 iMac, I have bought before but current upgrade is causing mac to crash randomly!? Need to know a place I can buy Ram which is confirmed to work my my mac model, the current upgrade is working but Mac is very unstable.
I meant more reasonable priced than apple
That'll be almost anywhere else then!
Yes, if it is made by Crucial and confirmed as suitable for your model of mac you will be fine. You can also buy direct from Crucial:

Are intel iMacs compatible with the M9177B/A cinema display
Are intel iMacs compatible with the M9177B/A cinema display please?
That Display has DVI input. So if you have a 2009 iMac with MiniDisplay port output as your profile suggest's...?
Then you will need a > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) and maybe a DVI cable if one is not with the monitor. -
What plug adapter do I use to connect the new Macbook USB-C port to a cinema display?
What plug adapter do I use to connect the new Macbook USB-C port to a cinema display?
If you intend to connect your 2008 display to the new macbook then you will need a USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter ($79) as well as a mini display port to VGA port adapter ($29) and also a VGA-VGA Standard 15-Pin VGA Male to VGA Male Cable ($5).
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MJ1L2AM/A/usb-c-vga-multiport-adapter
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/B/mini-displayport-to-vga-adapter
http://www.amazon.com/VGA-VGA-Standard-15-Pin-Male-Cable/dp/B0002AHT0M
The 2008 old cinema analogue Apple Cinema Displays were mostly pre-quipped with a mini display port rather than a VGA or HDMI port. So you will have to connect the mini display port to VGA port adapter to your 2008 ACD and the USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter to your new macbook and connect the two female VGA ports with a VGA-VGA Standard 15-Pin VGA Male to VGA Male Cable.
But I can't guarantee though that the above setup will work for your new macbook and your 2008 Apple Cinema Display. You should double check with Apple support regarding my suggestion. Just let me know....... -
24-Inch iMac - 3.06GHz / 4GB / 1TB (PRODUCTION) Good for FCP X?
Hello Everyone,
This is follow up to a query I posted laste week. Many thanks to those who were so helpful. I found this deal here in Toronto
24-Inch iMac - 3.06GHz / 4GB / 1TB (PRODUCTION)
and wanted to know anyone's thoughts on it for FCPX, Avid, Premiere Pro. The price is $799. at a place called ClickONMacs.
http://www.clickonmacs.com/about.html
The salesman on the phone said it was a 2 core and could probably go up to 8GV of RAM. My biggest concern is growing out of it too soon. I'm coming ack into editing after taking some time off to get my teaching degree. I'm hoping to start off doing actor reels, corporate stuff, short films and documentaries which is what I've done in the past. I have the advantage of getting the student/educator version of all the editing software so I can take my time with the trials.
Obviously I'm very attracted to the price but am concerned it isn't enough machine. I like the iMac "27 3.4 but understand the price is coming down soon on those. A sound editor friend is trying to talk me out of that purchase.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JohnIts an older mac. Not a good investment. Wait a little longer for the 27 iMac to get updates. Macrumors.com has an excellent buyers guide that will help. The iMac is expected to get a refresh or an update any day now. 16 gigs is also a better option.

How do I connect early 2009 mac mini to Sony FD Trinitron TV
I am trying to connect my 2009 (2.0 ghz) Mac Mini to a Sony WEGA XBR TV. I have many cables/adapters trying to accomplish this but once the mini starts, all I get is a black screen. The TV appears to be receiving a signal but the screen remains black. I read on a forum that the Apple mini DVI to Video Adapter I bought yesterday won't work on my mini (?). My Sony is not an HDMI model. I guess my choice is component and S-video. My TV is capable of 1080i. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help! My exact TV if this helps is 40XBR700 FD Trinitron. Mac Mini is using most current Snow Leopard OS.
Thank you for your reply -
The TV is a Sony FD Trinitron and the video inputs are S-video, composite and component up to HD 1080i.
The mini is 2009, 2.0 ghz. We tried using the DVI output from the mini using DVI adapters DVI-D to DVI-I to component with dip switches for various resolutions all the way up to 1080i and 16:9. Tried Apple mini DVI to composite and s video. To this point - no luck on those combinations. Thank you! -
Early 2009 iMac is running very slow
My early 2009 is running very slow. Takes about a minute to open Safari upon start-up....even opening up folders from finder take a long time. Get the spinning beachball often. Opening websites takes 30-40 seconds sometimes....they do open eventually. I have run permissions repair from Disk Utility. Our iPad has no such problems. iMac is hardwired, iPad is wireless. I ran a report with "EtreCheck" but don't really understand what it is telling me. I have about 100GB of space left out of 300GB. Will attach "EtreCheck" report if I can figure out how!
Thanks so much for any help! Only recent changes I have made is upgrading iPhone and updating Charter Cable Security Suite.
