HT1423 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?

I have a 32in 1080p Sony Bravia. and a early 2009 iMac 20in. i bought a mini Dvi to HDMI adaptor. And i have the HDMI cable. but every time i connect my iMac with my Tv my iMac screen turns blue then back to the desktop.

i also click on detect displays and nothing happens.

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the TV hooked up to the MacBook and both screens working. Do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

TS1398 Just got an ipad 4generation...I went to join my wifi network. I tried a few times but the pass word I used didn't work. I went to try another pass word and now I don't have the "join" option. I've started over and still no "join" option.

Just got an ipad. I went to join my wifi network at home. I tried a few times with a password that I thought was correct but it didn't work. When I went to try another password it would no longer give me the "join" option. The "join" option will no longer illuminate.

Thanks! Actually, by trying another wifi site we have here at home, I was able to give it another try. For us though, it seems we have an internet problem unrelated to the ipad. We'll have to figure that out.

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:

which is what I would do (did).

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
Problem description:
Very slow starting up, many programs like Mail take forever to load

Pay attention to what rkaufmann87 is saying, because I agree.
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.

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

You need to get rid of MacKeeper (Zeobit). Do not use their uninstaller, follow the instructions here ...
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
When that is done there does not appear to be a lot wrong if you correct the red ink entries.
The 4Gb is sufficient for Yosemite though 6 or 8 Gb would be better. You may find the download slow so be prepared.

My new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.

my new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.
At first my computer had issues. Once it go to sleep it will not back again. I dropped my laptop at apple store to fix it. After 10 days they returned my laptop saying they were no able to fix the problem so they replaced motherboard aiming if that might help. Acttually that didn't help.I had same issue again. I visited apple store again. This time they said they could fix, if I will allow them to format the harddrive. I said ok. They formatted it. It was working fine for few daysAfter few days compter is taking.even more than 15 min to shutdown. Now computer has another problem. It is being hang frequently like every 20'to.30 min.
I don't know what to do? I still have one month left on first year warranty. I have requested couple times to apple associates either to fix or replace or refund. They are showing me rude behavior. They are not understanding my situation. I am a student. I need to do lot of home work. Since last three month my mac book and apple associates giving me hard time. Any suggestions are welcome.

Contact Apple Customer Care - not Apple Care - Customer Support. Have your receipts handy and/or case numbers. Be patient, be calm, and tell your story just as you have here. I get the sense you are not in the US and don't have access to an Apple Store but are going to an independent shop. This makes using Customer Support all the more important. If phoning isn't viable, use registered mail.
Since time is running short, be prepared to purchase AppleCare to exennd your warranty 2 more years. Yes, you shouldn't have to do this, but it gives you added protection and more opportunities over the next 2 years to claim a replacement computer if you don't get one immediately. After dealing with a similar unhappy situation with a Mac in the late 1990s I finally got a replacement computer and reimbursed for the AppleCare policy.

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.

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.

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…

Wikipedia also says the Drobo S has Firewire 800 & USB2

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.

I have had an iphone 3, 4, 4S, and now a 5. Every picture I have ever taken is saved as "photo". How do I change the auto naming format to a more sequential name?

There is no way to change this.

As for iMessage, you do Settings -> Messages (scroll down) -> where it says iMessage, turn the switch to off.
As for pictures, you do Settings -> iCloud -> Photo Stream -> My Photo Stream -> turn switch off.
As for apps, you do Settings -> iTunes & App Stores (scroll down alot) -> Music, Apps, Books are all swtiched off.
If you want to the delete the music, you go onto the music app and slide your finger from right to left on the song.
