HT1758 Early 2007 24" iMac iMac6,1 missing?

This list is unfinished/incomplete. Is the early 2007 24" iMac Model iMac6,1 - MA456xx/A just 32bit or 64bit compatible on Snow Leopard?
in Mac OS X v10.6: Macs that use the 64-bit kernel
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3770
the article indicates which Macs can use or use the 64 bit Kernal by default, but the model numbers are not given in HT1758, it merely refers to post 2008 models.
Mine has a 240 Gb SSD with two terabytes on firewire and 4Gb RAM is it safe to try the 6 and 4 key switch?
I already have issues with the obsolete Nvidea graphics card on Google Earth

Your Mac can't run the 64-bit kernel in Snow Leopard. If you press 6 and 4 keys, Mac OS X will start in 32-bit because your computer doesn't support the 64-bit kernel

The manufacture name in iMac (early 2007) hard drive?

Can some one tell me what manufacture the hard drive in iMac (early 2007)is?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It will vary from machine to machine, Apple uses different vendors for hard drives. How you can find out what your machine has is open System Profiler and click Serial-ATA on the left. It will then tell you the model HD you have. By copying and pasting that info into Google you can easily find out information about the drive.
If you are looking to replace the drive any 3.5" SATA drive will work. One vendor that is helpful for replacing HD's is OWC. Their internal HD page is:

My Mid 2007 24" iMac has been a bit laggy on Yosemite and getting worse every day, so I went to the Apple Support pages on Apples website looking for help and thought I'd found some. This is what I did and it made everything 100 times worse :(

So here is what I found and what I did to try to alleviate the RAM eating upgrade named Yosemite. This guy has helped quite a few people, you can read all the comments and I gave it several tries this morning.

I post this hoping to help those users who, like me, are experiencing high CPU usage and massive memory leaking with OS X core services and apps, leading to slow performance and battery drain.
I've tried everything mentioned, but found the right combination of steps to follow. I've tried this with seven different Apple computers, including mine, and has worked well so far. I applied this method yesterday to give these process a 24 hour window to fail again, so far everything good.
First step: disconnect any external or secondary monitors, if any is present. The video memory allocation leak can also happen if you have a system with an integrated card, like Intel, with no external monitors attached.
Second step: Shut down your machine and enter Safe Mode (press shift once you turn on your computer again, more info below). Once you're there, fix your disk permissions.
Guide of how to access Safe Mode: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Third step: From Safe Mode turn off your machine again and reset your System Management Controller (SMC). There are different methods, depending on machine, to do this. To know what method applies to yours read the following guide.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Fourth step: Once your machine completes a full boot after resetting the SMC turn it off again and reset your PRAM (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, BUT THE PREVIOUS ONES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THIS ONE TO WORK). The PRAM stores small bits of data that indicate our Apple computer how to interact with the devices connected to it, including monitors and video cards. It also affects software.
To reset it you should hold the OPTION, COMMAND, P and R keys in your keyboard immediately after turning on your machine again.You'll hear the start up chime, continue pressing the keys until the machine boots and the chime starts A SECOND TIME, then release. IF YOUR YOSEMITE INSTALLATION LOCKS UP AT A BLACK SCREEN AFTER THIS, DONT PANIC! It's normal, just turn off your computer and let it boot again.
More info about PRAM: OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
Voila, reconnect your external displays and enjoy your system.

I hope to hear from anyone even to knock me in the head, lol. Thanks in advance and I'll be around trying to figure this out.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
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. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
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. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. 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.
6. 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. Don't log in as root.
7. 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 the browser window, 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:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. 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 the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
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.
11. 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 what happened. No harm will be done.
12. 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.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try 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.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. 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.

Netboot Issue - White Imac to 2007 AL Imac

Hi
We have just purchased 20 Mid 2007 Aluminium iMac's to add to our existing network. - The one i have taken out of the box was pre-installed with 10.4.11 with a Leopard Upgrade Disk inside (said that Leopard is not installed on the machine but can be upgraded by use of this disc).
We have a 10.4.10 Netboot image (built on a 17" 2006 White Intel iMac) on our XServe that I have tried to restore onto one of the new Aluminium Imac's.
The actual netboot operation worked fine and the operating system booted up on the new Aluminium Imac - but then i have found;
a) the onboard LAN port is greyed out and cant be configured
b) the isight camera does not work
c) the sound does not work
I downloaded the 10.4.11 combo updater and ran that on the machine hoping that it would replace drivers, etc - no chance.
Is there a way i can get the specific drivers for this hardware, as I dont want to have to install all of the programs and settings that we have for our network. then have to clone it 20 times.
Or is there a way i can remove the settings for the missing items (network, isight, sound) from the computer prefs and get them rebuilt on system startup?
Frustrated that Apple support has been less than forthcomming, with the reply of
"upgrade to Leopard" - Upgrading to Leopard is not an option.
Not understanding the problem which i was facing.
I might have to return the 20 and just get hold of 20 of the White Imac's - which are on sale from our reseller.

Thank you so much for your information. I have been using a Seagate GoFlex portable drive as my back up disc with TimeMachine on my iMac. The AirPort Time Capsule is arriving tomorrow with my new iMac. My question to you is this: Will it be easier to wait till tomorrow, set up my AirPort Time Capsule and back up my old iMac to it and then use it with the Startup Assistant to transfer my stuff or will it be easier just to use my GoFlex back up disc? I have had some issues in the last year where Time Machine send me a message that the (daily) back up failed because the file got corrupted and I have been unable to fix it so that I have to reformat the disc and back up everything I have. Just an FYI, I don't have a huge amount of stuff on my iMac even if is almost 7 years old....I have 900 GB out of 1TB available. This is one of the reasons I felt it's time to replace my iMac.
Right now I have a clean encrypted back up on the GoFlex but I don't want to transfer anything I shouldn't to my new iMac. Please advice and thank you.

Hi, I have a mid 2007 24inch iMac currently running on 10.5.8. Can I upgrade directly to 10.7 and if so, can I expect any issues? Thanks

You need to have a copy of Snow Leopard installed to access Lion in the Mac App Store. There's no direct path to upgrade from Leopard to Lion.
I did read a piece earlier this week about Apple giving free copies of Snow Leopard to new iCloud subscribers, you might want to look into this here:

Hope this helps.

HT1752 Where can i find a replacement set of cables for cinema display 23 inch early 2007. I will solder them.

I have an old vintage cinema display and would like to replace the power supply and the set of cables in the back (early 2007). Where can I found it?

Hi-
You say missing? How about cut....... The cable coming from the back of the ACD isn't removable. Your "deal" needs to go to an Apple service center. You can also get a power brick there.

Are you running Time Machine?

The internal hard drive on my early 2009 24" iMac is nearly full. How do I add an external drive so that it functions just like the internal drive on the iMac?

The internal hard drive on my early 2009 24" iMac is nearly full. I have already worked to free as much space on the HD as possible. How do I add an external HD and have the iMac read it as though it was part of the internal HD. I know about external HD for additional storage and I do have an external HD, but, it is so much easier to search the drive when it is internal than having to perform a search on the internal drive and then a search on the external drives. And, it is easier to save files to an internal drive so that I don't have to decide which external drive to use to save files. In other words, I want to add an external HD and have it function as though I had purchased a larger internal HD.

That is simply not possible. Every drive is a separate device. It cannot be used to extend an internal drive as though you had a seamlessly larger drive.
What you can do is to create a striped RAID array using the internal drive and an external drive. However, doing this will erase the internal drive and you will lose everything on the internal drive. Furthermore, installing Lion or Mountain Lion becomes a bit of a problem because you cannot create a Recovery HD on a RAID and this tends to make the installer choke. However, you can clone an existing Lion or Mountain Lion system to the RAID and designate the RAID as a startup volume.
I would not recommend the RAID solution, personally, but there are many who do. I prefer the basic solution of spending the money on a larger internal hard drive instead of an external hard drive.
RAID Basics
For basic definitions and discussion of what a RAID is and the different types of RAIDs see RAIDs. Additional discussions plus advantages and disadvantages of RAIDs and different RAID arrays see:
RAID Tutorial;
RAID Array and Server: Hardware and Service Comparison.
Hardware or Software RAID?
RAID Hardware Vs RAID Software - What is your best option?
RAID is a method of combining multiple disk drives into a single entity in order to improve the overall performance and reliability of your system. The different options for combining the disks are referred to as RAID levels. There are several different levels of RAID available depending on the needs of your system. One of the options available to you is whether you should use a Hardware RAID solution or a Software RAID solution.
RAID Hardware is always a disk controller to which you can cable up the disk drives. RAID Software is a set of kernel modules coupled together with management utilities that implement RAID in Software and require no additional hardware.
Pros and cons. Software RAID is more flexible than Hardware RAID. Software RAID is also considerably less expensive. On the other hand, a Software RAID system requires more CPU cycles and power to run well than a comparable Hardware RAID System. Also, because Software RAID operates on a partition by partition basis where a number of individual disk partitions are grouped together as opposed to Hardware RAID systems which generally group together entire disk drives, Software RAID tends be slightly more complicated to run. This is because it has more available configurations and options. An added benefit to the slightly more expensive Hardware RAID solution is that many Hardware RAID systems incorporate features that are specialized for optimizing the performance of your system.
For more detailed information on the differences between Software RAID and Hardware RAID you may want to read: Hardware RAID vs. Software RAID: Which Implementation is Best for my Application?

Installing Windows 7 64-Bit Using BootCamp on Mac Pro 2,1 (Early 2007)

Hi everybody,
I have Mac Pro 2,1 (early 2007) 8-core, my OS X is 10.6.4, I couldn’t install Windows 7 64-Bit on BootCamp separate drive (as my Mac Pro 2,1 is not supported for this installation by Apple). I am seeking help if anyone find a trick to do that task. Your help on this will be highly appreciated.

I was waiting to see if the original poster was still intent on going through with it, since it's (a) lot of work, and (b) an unsupported configuration. Unless he's using > 4GB of memory I'm not sure why he needs the 64 bit version of Win7 (there's even less reason to run 64-bit Windows as a VM). I'm not prepared to assume the responsiblity of solving any/all current and future problems he may run into, especially if this is for "work" and not a hobby-level, "I just want Win7-64bit" situation. If he's reading this and wants to proceed -
The Jowie page, while workable, requires a more steps (i.e. even more work); plus, the screenshots used are from an earlier release of imgburn, which has different options from the current version, and if the original poster needs that much handholding he could be put off.
Win7 AIK is "needed" because of the oscdimg.exe that is included. It is the "official Microsoft sanctioned" way of generating Windows ISO images. It's a one-line command that outputs an ISO image file once you have the Win7 disc in the drive, no need to muck about checking/unchecking boxes etc., and running the risk of burning coasters (since there's no way of knowing whether your output works until you actually run it, and imgburn has too many ways of messing up when you don't know what you're doing).
There are alternate "direct" sources for oscdimg.exe, which are smaller downloads than Win7 AIK http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=696dd665-9f76-4177-a 811-39c26d3b3b34&displaylang=en , but I'm a little chary of "programs sourced from unidentified hosts", even though I'm certain most of them are just being helpful and are not malicious (have you read Ken Thompson's Reflections on Trusting Trust - http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html )
If the original poster (or anyone else reading) is interested, either the jowie.com method can be used, if you are averse to a command line or have poor download bandwidth, or you can get oscdimg.exe (however you choose to do so) and execute:
oscdimg -n -m -bd:\boot\etfsboot.com d:\ c:\iso\win7dvd.iso
assuming oscdimg.exe is in your path (or your current directory), and you've created a directory c:\iso
Incidentally, after getting 64-bit Win7 installed your problems aren't over yet, because Boot Camp will refuse to install the 64 bit version on your "unsupported" machine. There is a workaround (see my post in the thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2589967&tstart=0 ) but I do not know if there will be a future release of Boot Camp that would defeat this.

Can I install a 3TB drive in my mid-2007 24" iMac?

I'd like to know if I can install a 3TB drive in my mid-2007 24" iMac. The OTW page for this model says that 2TB is the maximum, but I think it was written before 3TB drives became available. Does anyone know if the controller will recognize drives larger than 2TB?

Hi,
First off it would need to be Serial ATA (3 Gb/s) compatible.
Looks like 4 TB is no problem in my research at OWC...

I have a 2007 20" iMac. Can I get a solid state hard drive installed? Can the Apple store do it? How long? What cost?

I have a 2007 20" iMac. Can I get a solid state hard drive installed? Can the Apple store do it? How long? What cost?

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,

time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Early 2007 Macbook - Memory Limitation?

Hopefully someone can give a quick answer to this.
I have an early 2007 Macbook, currently has 2GB of RAM. Is this the limit or will it do 4GB?
Thanks

It depends on whether you have the mid 2007 or late 2007. Check your model number against this spec page, and you'll have your answer.

Early 2008 24" imac ram upgrade issues

Hi everyone. Hope you guys can help diagnose a problem I have with my imac.
It's an early 2008 24" imac with 3.06 Ghz processor and an NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GS 512 graphics card.
After buying Empire: Total War I thought it best to upgrade the 2GB RAM to 4GB, and purchased 2x2GB sticks 800 Mhz 6400 DDR2 SDRAM.
When they arrived I put them in and the system booted up normally. I could surf the net ok, but when it came to watching a video on youtube full screen, or playing a game, it would cope for 30secs-1min and then the spinning coloured wheel would show. I'd then hear noises that sound like a cd trying to eject then the system would hang. One of three things would then happen:
- it would automatically reboot showing the multi-lingual startup message that the system was not shut down properly
- a grey blank screen would appear and not change
- the grey start up screen would appear with the Apple logo and spinning circle, which would then stop spinning and not change.
If I manually rebooted I just get a black screen and can only hear the fans softly spinning.
I've tried swapping the ram sticks but get the same as above. It will boot and work normally with either one of the 2GB ram sticks installed on it's own. It will also work normally with the original 2x1GB sticks installed again.
I don't get the 3 beep warning at startup.
Any thoughts on why this might be happening? Would the graphics card be the reason for this issue?
I'm not sure if these are related but a few weeks ago I noticed that the brightness would randomly change from normal to half-brightness then back to normal. These would change every few minutes or so and isn't dependent on what programmes I have running.
I've also recently noticed that the top and back of the imac is getting quite warm to the touch and no don't leave the system running when not in use.

Hello,
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

And/or iStat Pro...

EDIT: you won't find iStat Pro at BDAqua's link any longer. (No longer supported by the developer, and not completely compatible with Mountain Lion, but most of its features should still be working.) It's here

Do you have a link to the exact RAM you bought?
That grapics card is known to be a problem, but the brightness issue seems more like the Backlight or Inverter.

No Time Machine animation - 2007 24" iMac and Snow Leopard (10.6)

I am not getting the spinning stars animation when I enter time machine restore interface on my 2007 24" iMac. This Mac has the ATI Radeon HD 2600 256 MB Graphic Card. I just a white screen. I deleted the time machine prefs and I still do not have the spinning stars interface. I used to get it in Mac OS 10.5.8. Thoughts.

Okay - it took a while but I went through all the steps in the troubleshooting guide under E4.
Still does not work. I get a white background where the spinning stars animation should be. Other than this visual, the data restore function works fine.
Any thoughts?
It's a long shot, but might be related to your video card.
Try running the *Apple Hardware Tests.* (Instructions should be printed on the disc; if they differ from these, follow them instead)
1. Disconnect all external devices (including the Ethernet cable) except the keyboard and mouse.
2. Insert the "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disc that came with your computer.
3. Restart while holding down the "C" key. When the list of available startup volumes appears, click Apple Hardware Test and the right arrow.
4. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen comes up (after a moment), follow the on-screen instructions.
+(note that when your Video RAM is tested, various patterns, colors, and stripes will appear on the screen).+
5. If it detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. Make a note of it.
