HT2452 Is it possible to fix an iMac that got thrown on the floor (robbery)

Powers up but I get a white screen and it sounds like it's trying to eject a disc. Thanks!

I'd recommend taking it to your nearest Genius Bar or an authorized service provider for a damage/repair assessment.There is no way to tell what physical damage there might be until it is opened up and checked.

HT2452 Is it possible to upgrade this IMAC to an Intel Core i7 Processor (2600K 4x3.40GHz) ?

Is it possible to upgrade this IMAC to an Intel Core i7 Processor (2600K 4x3.40GHz) ?

Technically, it is possible.
You can upgrade the processor. I just upgraded mine earlier today.
I took me about 5 hours and voided whatever little warranty I had left.
The iMacs are standard Intel socket 1155.
As long as your TDP and Architecture is the same, they will work in 27".
Since you have the 2009 27" (as do I, just finished upgrading mine!) the absolute quickest you can go is a Core i7 880.
If you want a guide, HardMac has one.
Everymac has more info on the topic.

Should give you all the info you need.
Good luck!

How do I fix used iMac that flashes a question mark on start up. ?

First apple product I have ever had. It's used and I have no idea what to do. Can I buy new hard drive?

You need to tell us what you bought. Being as it's used did the seller include the Original Install Disk? It's gray and has a small Apple logo on it. You should have it and need it now in order to proceed.

I just downloaded iPhoto 9.6 onto my iMac, that runs Yosemite, and the program won't open at all.

I just brought my iMac back from the Apple Store after having a new hard drive installed. I wanted to put my photos back onto the computer using the back-up I had made on an external hard drive.
I downloaded iPhoto from the App Store, and initially it opened. I tried to import a folder of photos, but nothing happened. It froze. I did a Force Quit, and tried to import just one photo. Again, it froze, and I did a Force Quit. Then I tried to simply open the program. I got the spinning wheel, and when I looked at the Force Quit box, iPhotos had stopped responding.
I tried to open it using Command+Option, and tried the first option to repair (I can't remember what that option is now), but got the same result. Then I unplugged the external hard-drive and tried twice to open it - once normally, and once using the Command+Option method. Same spinning wheel, and "not responding" message in the "Force Quit" box.
I sent the Force Quit reports (or whatever they're called) to Apple, but I have no idea what they said as I don't understand them.
I have a 27 inch mid-2011 iMac, running Yosemite (10.10.1), and iPhoto is 9.6.
Please help! What am I doing wrong?

I just tried to open iPhoto by holding down option+command key, and opening it from the dock (and not the icon in applications) - and it opened!
Right-click or ctrl-click the icon in the Dock and select "options > Show in Finder". ,This will show you, where the iPhoto version is installed, that you are running.
It should be revealing the iPhoto version in your Applications folder. Does it?

Get warning on Imac that another computer with the same IP-adress is active in my network ??

i do have an Imac, MacBook Pro, apple tv, Ipad and 2 Iphones just in my private house
Next neighbor is 200 meters away. Please advice me !?

It is one of your other devices that are connecting through your Router. Your Router is only using a single IP address.
Your Router is using 192.168.1.1 However the very last two numbers can and will vary from the .1.1 this is nothing to be concerned about. If all of your stuff is working then there is no reason for concern.

How fo i fix an Ipod that is stuck on the apple logo?

My iPod is stuck on the apple logo. How do I fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Is there going to be a fix made so that you can read the song list in iTunes 11, dark grey on black is not conducive to easy reading?

I have recently upgraded to iTunes 11. Overall there have been some ok improvements, however, one area that went completely backwards is the look of the songs list. The Artist/Album list looks good, but the song list is illegible.

Exactly!
Same here, Gosh, I have wasted so much time on this laptop!
Now what, I have to fix it myself??
Replace the thermal paste, what else??
And I'm not alone, my friend had this issue too, she gave up on that laptop, what a waste!
Never buying ANYTHING from HP, sorry..

My MacBook is 5 years old. Until recently, I had no problems. I had a CD that got stuck in the drive and I was able to remove it. But now there is a grey screen with a file folder and question mark in the middle. How do I fix this?

I have tried rebooting the MacBook several times as well as resetting it. If I turn it off and then turn it back on while holding "option" a mouse appears on the screen but nothing else. This started earlier today when the screen froze and I had to restart the computer (with the CD still in it). I have not been able to get back to the computer since.

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the operating system files on the hard drive are somehow corrupted or damaged.
If you don't have your install disks you can get the 10.4 gray disks by calling AppleCare. 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) They can send them to you for about $16 per disk plus S & H. Just give them your serial number and they'll know which ones you need. With the original disks you also get the iLife that was current when your MacBook was bought included on the #2 disk.
Or if you don't have any files you want to recover from your hard drive you can get Snow Leopard for $29 if you have at least 1gb of RAM and a working DVD drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY You would then erase and reformat your hard drive and install Snow Leopard. You won't need the box set unless you want the latest iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps you can get them from the App Store in 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote and Numbers for $20 each.
If you have files you want to recover you can get a larger hard drive and put your old hard drive in an external case. After you install the Mac OS on the new hard drive you can plug in the old hard drive in the external case by the USB connection and try to access it that way.
To buy a hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/

Is there anything that you can do to fix a pdf that was created with the wrong orientation?

Someone sent me 40-page pdf created from a document with landscape orientation that was output with portrait orientation. The pages are clipped off on the right and left. There is no way that I can see that you can change the orientation in Acrobat Pro and if it is converted into a Word document you can see most of the text, but there is still some missing, especially where there are tables. I don't have access to the original document. I was just curious if there was a way around this?

Thanks, that is what I figured. Just thought I would ask. Some of the text that was clipped off did appear when the pdf was converted into a word file, but not all of it.

Is it possible to copy free apps that are not on the App Store anymore to multiple iPhones through iTunes sync?

I have an old app on my iPhone that is able to run on ios7 but has now been deleted from the app store. I was wondering if iTunes sync would allow me to put it onto multiple iPhones with no problems - The iPhones that I want to copy it to are all the same (iPhone 5s), the app is on an iPhone 5s 16GB and I want to put it on an iPhone 5s 32GB.
Thanks Tyler.

Thank you. Your reply is very helpful.
I've never chosen to delete unused apps in my library because I was worried that if, in the future, one was of interest, that I'd have to re-purchase... so this is not the case then, right? (I'd felt secure knowing that an app was stored on my computer... More than once, I've had to revert to backups and was glad to have copies of my apps safely stored away.)
I've been slow to adopt anything "cloud" so am not well versed on the benefits of using it. So, just to be clear, if I delete an unused app in my local iTunes library, it will forever remain available in the cloud linked to my account, right?

I keep getting an error 21 when I try to download a movie. What do I do to fix it so that I can have the movie in my itunes?

I am having trouble downloading a movie, I tried it 3 times and I still cannot get it.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Need to fix bad audio that came attached to the video, any tips?

I have the video and the audio that comes attached to it is not good.Their voices are very low. When I try to make it louder there is this humming noise. When I try to reduce the background noise (it's like a hissing sound) then it sounds like she is in a fishbowl. It says the humming removal is "on"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, garbage in - garbage out.
