That menu is not in the Photoshop print window. Click on Print

How to erase a early 2008 iMac Hard drive when the screen is dead

My early 2008 iMac's Graphics Module has died for the third and last time. I want to erase the Hard Drive before I offer it up for sale as parts or just re-cycling. But with the Graphics Module dead it will not boot up, therefore no display. So how do I erase my data and restore to a clean OS?

Make sure that your old Mac will boot into disk mode then buy this Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter

I replaced the original hdd in my early 2008 iMac. I can't move my files that were backed up with Time Machine to my new hdd using Migration Assistant. When prompted to select the "from drive", the ext. hhd does not appears as a selection. Please help!!

I'd recommend staring over, Pondini has created an excellent guide on how to use Setup Assistant. I'd recommend begin reading Pondini Setup Assistant tips where he talks about "Second Chance." Assuming your Time Machine backup is sound the restore should be very smooth.

How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

Do you own a copy of Aperture, perhaps bought for another Mac?
If you have not bought Aperture, you need to buy it from the AppStore.
But if you own Aperture and have it bought from the AppStore on another Mac, sign into theAppStore on your new iMac with the same AppleID you used to buy Aperure on your other Mac. Then look at the "Purchased" tab of he AppStore. It show Aperture, with the "Install" button to the right. Simply press the "Install" button and download it to your new iMac. Or if you have bought Aperture on a CD/DVD, run the installer from the CD/DVD on your new mac and immediately run software update to upgrade the Aperture 3. version to version that will run with Mavericks.

I have an early 2008 iMac running iOs 10.5.8. I need to upgrade to at least iOs 10.6 snow leopard in order to install the driver for a new HP Office Jet Pro 8610 printer. How do I go about doing this, and which version of 10.6 would be best?

You are only running on 2GB of RAM. IMHO 4GB woud be the minimum to realistically run Mavericks on, although the more the better.

You should be able to open the zipped file by double clicking on it.

I'm on Firefox 3.6.8 running on a 2008 IMAC with OS 10.5.8 yet every click to move pages, from start-up, to return to Home Page takes minutes, not seconds! If I use Safari that's greatly faster on this same set-up. How do I get Firefox to be as fast ?

== Some time back, beggining with Firefox updates, at least three, or more updates ago.

Thanks for the tip. I took the following steps:
1) Backed up the existing profile (presumably corrupted somewhere);
2) Deleted the existing profile;
3) Moved the existing Firefox to the Trash and downloaded a fresh copy;
4) Started Firefox (thus allowing it to create its default profile)
5) Copied the following files from the backup copy of the previous profile: places.sqlite, key3.db, signons.sqlite, permissions.sqlite, persdict.dat, cert8.db ---
I'm posting this from a Firefox browser, so I guess I'm OK now.

My Early 2008 iMac freeze with no apparent reason

I have an Early 2008 iMac (2.66GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM).
Since installing Lion, sometimes the computer freezes without apparent reason.
The only thing I'm sure is that this is NOT the same as the Quicktime video problem – I wasn't watching a Quicktime video, nor a Flash website when it froze. Actually, today happened while I wasnt' doing anything: the computer was on, but I was at launch.
Anyway, what happens is really strange: the screen freeze, I can't do things like change volume, but the mouse still works – albeit without producing results on screen such as dock magnification etc. Also, while the computer was frozen a Time Machine backup occured as scheduled, and I was able to stream my computer's music to my iPhone using the Home Sharing feature.
The clock also remain frozen (at 12:51), so I looked at the logs and this is what I found:

At this point I restarted the computer using the power button.
For the record, a few months ago I replaced the hard drive thinking it could be the problem – good thing I needed more space anyway because it happened twice AFTER I replaced it.
Any help?

CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update? Also my HP scannerwill not save the displayed scanned document since this update! it just saves gray.

If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Or you can:
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).

Problem with Early 2008 iMac upgrade to Corsair 2x2b memory kit

I am upgrading my Early 2008 iMac 20-inch model to have 4 gb memory.
My memory choice is Corsair Memory VS4GSDSKIT800D2 4 GB Kit (2x2GB) PC2-6400 800Mhz 200-pin DDR2 SODIMM Dual Channel Laptop Memory
More model information here:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac8,1
Based on Apple's documentation here:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1759
You can use any Small-Outline dual inline memory modules (SO-DIMMS) that meets all of these criteria:
PC2-6400
Unbuffered
Nonparity
200-pin
800 MHz
DDR2 SDRAM
I think there should be no hardware compatibility issue here.
I installed following the instructions from Apple.com as well. Except I find it odd that there wasn't a very clear "click" sound to indicate a proper installment during the process. I take the old memories out and simply pushed the new chips into the compartment without doing anything else. Put everything back, connect the power cord and press the power button.
After I upgrade the memory, either the machine won't turn on, or it will beep with a warning sound forever unless I turn the power off.
I wonder if I should get a refund, change to either Kingston or Crucial's memory or it is for some other reason.
I didn't have such issue with upgrading my macbook with Kingston's chips, so maybe iMac doesn't support Corsair well?
Also, I heard around here that my machine seems to support 6gb memory instead of 4gb. Is there a brand requirement like I have to get Crucial or OWC's chips to acccomplish it? Source: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_PC2-6400

I was worried to break anything if I push too hard. It seemed like pushing the same way with original chips had no issues. It is certainly not as easy as the macbook for the clip part.
Sometime the blades on after market modules are slightly thicker and they needs a little more force to be fully seated in the slots.

Do you think there would be any drawback if I change my upgrade plan to 6gb from OWC?
That's totally up to you? Check with the seller, because most online sellers will want to charge a restocking and shipping.
