Imac 24" - 2008 with yosemite - bluetooth issue?

Hello everyone,
My computer was working fine after downloading yosemite, but all of the sudden (I haven't installed any software or hardware prior to this issue)
I have received this panic report a couple of times after attempting to run a diagnostic by holding "D" (it didn't work)
The reason why I tried running this diagnose is because my bluetooth is out of commission and my booting time is anywhere from 2.5 - 5 minutes.
I'm able to see the bluetooth icon, but i cannot turn it off or pair to anything. I have deleted the plist file and I also did the "pvram" (spelling) and another reset and didn't work.
could someone take a look at this report and Hopefully shed some light on the issue?

I have a different prolem - my Apple Wireless Keyboard will not connect.  This started after the latest update installation.  After "removing" the device (in Bluetooth Preferences), it will find the keyboard, but will not pair with it.
Any suggestions, anyone???

  • Mac 2008 with yosemite reboots

    why when exiting sleep mac 2008 with yosemite reboots?

    I fully understand, BDA, and I would expect it of you, being the helpful man that you are. 
    I just think that the less extraneous clutter in a forum, the less likely there will be posts by other stray posters in the forums.
    The thing with Yosemite is that the beast is loaded with bugs and idiosyncrasies that Apple has not been able to fix yet.  As we both know, Apple usually doesn't get a major new release even halfway right until the dot five update, and Yosemite is barely at 10.10.2, a very long way before 10.10.5 or 10.10.6.
    Many pros at the Adobe Photoshop forums have been forced to downgrade to Mavericks as the only way to cope for now.

    I want to set up a new Airport extreme 802.11ac with an external drive as a wireless back up for time capsule. I have an iMac (late 2011) running Yosemite. Will this work, and if so, what are the recommended external hard drives that work the best.
    The rationale for not buying a time capsule is that I have had 2 hard drive failures and replacements on both my iMacs and I am afraid if the time capsule drive fails, it will be yet another apple hard drive that has failed on me. I currently back up on G drive external drives.

    Apple does not make hard drives. They may be using the same drive that's in your G-Drives.
    You can backup to an external drive connected to the newest AEBS via USB.

  • IPhoto 9.6.1 with Yosemite Printing Issues

    iPhoto 9.6.1 with Yosemite was supposed to fix a printing bug that would hang-up a Mac but it actually caused my to start having printing issues (beachball of death).  I have tried permission repair and rebuilding the database but that did not work.  I did the 9.6.1 update on 20 March 2015.  That is when all my printing issues started.  I have to resort to putting my pictures on the desktop and printing from the preview app.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try fix the main library:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Does any one experience having slow performance after upgrading to lion? (I'm using an iMac early 2008 with 4gb memory)

    I'm having a problem on my iMac early 2008 (2.4GHz Core 2 Duo 4gb SDRAM) after upgrading to Mac OS X Lion.
    The animation such as mission control and full screen and especially, launch pad performs really slow.
    Sometimes, mission control doesn't even show the animation.
    This is terrible and I want Apple to fix these problems or otherwise this is just making my mac useless.
    Does anyone experience having similar problem?

    thanks for the reply!
    I've checked the activity monitor but nothing was taking up the space expect for Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in, which takes up 29% of CPU)
    here's my screenshot. can you see any problems?

  • IMac early 2009 with Yosemite running really really slow

    Hi,
    Would appreciate some expert advice on this. My iMac has been extremely slow and lag-gy the past few months. Noticeable after I upgraded to Yosemite (perhaps not the smartest thing I did last year).
    What should I do now? Upgrade RAM? Free up hard drive? Buy a new computer?
    thanks
    Kenneth

  • Macbook late 2008 with Yosemite freezing

    I have a late 2008 aluminum 13-inch Macbook running OS X 10.10.1 with a 320 GB (170 of which are free) WD Scorpio Blue hard drive, Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB of RAM. Yosemite worked lovely for the first month, but since then my laptop started crashing every week or two, with the so-called "Spinning beachball of Death" going on for even hours. After forcing it to shut down by holding the power button, and turning it on again, it gets stuck either at either the password screen or the desktop screen, both with the spinning beachball.
    After that, I have had to use my external backup hard drive to recover my internal hard drive and get it working again. I've had to use this process at least 6 or 7 times.
    I've considered going back to OS X 10.9 to see if the problem is that my 6-year-old laptop cannot handle 10.10...
    Any advice?
    Thanks in advance.

    The next time the problem happens, note the date and time the problem occurred, then go to Applications/Utilities/Console and copy the log starting at the time of the crash. Paste the log in a reply. Please do not use a screen shot as they can be hard to read. If there are repeated runs of the same messages, please post only one run.

  • IMac early 2008 8800GS video card issue

    I have had this machine for 2.5 years and all is fine until 1 day (mid of Nov) that it would not start (blank screen after apple logo).
    Nov 19, 2010
    I brought it to the Richmond centre apple store in Richmond, BC, Canada (since I have applecare). I was told by the apple genius there he would need to replace the logicboard and the video card with estimates of $1500+ (i was thinking i m so lucky that I have bought applecare). The repair took 1 full week and at the end they only replaced the video card. I was happy to have my imac back (Nov 25, 2010)
    Dec 7, 2010
    The iMac would not start up again (same symptoms to the first one) except that this time I was able to boot into safe mode (any other modes or from ext HD or DVD will not work). In safe mode, the screen has a huge vertical bars like barcode, so I have no other choice but to bring it back to apple store again (this time to Oakridge Centre in Vancouver, BC). The Apple genius there said there's a problem with the logic board and they will replace it. The repair took 1 day and both logicboard and video card were replaced (Dec 9, 2010).
    Dec 30, 2010
    The iMac would not start again (blank screen after apple logo). This time I m so frustrated. How can you have repair the machine 2 times, replace most of the machine components and yet the machine would not start. I m losing so much confidence with both the iMac and the technicians at the Apple store. I give the machine a few more chances to boot/cooldown, disconnect to power source. It would boot up after disconnected to the power source for extended time but the screen garbled up as soon as you bring up the dashboard or attempt to use any applications.
    Jan 1, 2011
    New day of the year and I have to bring the iMac to repair. I ask for either a replacement or a refund as I have no confidence in the machine that I have. The Genius said that we cannot do that but we will take it in and have a look (I have no other choice but to leave it with the hands of the technicians.)
    Jan 3, 2011
    Apple technician called around 8pm in the evening, he told me the problem was with the LVDS cable that attaches the logic board to the lcd panel. I was very patient (because i seriously don't think it's the LVDS cable) and not let my anger out as he is just a fellow who's trying to fix my computer. Long story short, he told me they don't have the parts and need another 3-5 days.
    Anybody has a similar problem? Does it make sense that the LVDS cable can cause the mac not able to boot up?

    I agree that policy with regard to replacement of online purchases vs in-store doesn't make any sense. As a customer, this experience would of frustrated me a lot. It's good you were able to eventually get a new iMac but it makes sense for them to try to fix it first before replacing it. I think before the 3rd repair I would've escalated the issue until I got to the store leader. If they understand you need it back quickly, they will usually do their best to make you happy. Of course, not everybody's perfect.
    In my experience, if you need to have something soon, you need to politely go up the management chain. I never heard of the first tier employee being able to replace an iMac or do any other kind of replacement. It's always the store leaders and Genius admins that can accommodate these kind of issues.
    The store leader is your friend and it's their store's reputation on the line. Ask for his/her email address and vent out your frustration to them. Recommend what you would've done as an AppleCare person to accommodate your issue. It's this kind of feedback that makes them better. Who knows, they may even reward you for your valuable feedback.

  • Can i use a iMac from 2008 with broken graphic card as extra monitor

    Can i use My Old iMac as a extra monitor.  My Old iMac from early 2008 has a broken graphic card nvidia 8800 gs. When I start it up I hear the bong and see the symbol spinning then the screen goes black from right to left the computer is running but I can't use it. I assume it's the graphic card. Can I use this iMac as an extra monitor to my other iMac.?

    No sorry.

  • IMac (late 2009) with Yosemite ran slowly now won't boot; stuck on Apple logo loading

    I've been using my iMac less and less over the past weeks mainly because I have to much to do and can do most of my work on my Macbook Air, but today I had to get an old file of my iMac and when I woke it up from sleep it wouldn't run as fast as normal but instead so laggy that it felt exaggerated, so after waiting a couple of minutes while it did one thing per minute I understood that it wouldn't blow over on it's own, so I tried to restart it bur iTunes was syncing with my phone (and the chunkiness made it impossible to stop) so I forced it eventually to shut down by holding the power button. Now it is stuck on the Apple start-up logo but with a loading bar underneath that has been stuck on more or less 49% for a long while, I manually shut it down once more but it is still stuck on the same place. I have also noticed that it is extremely warm on the back. I have no idea if this helps but I wasn't home the whole last week and the iMac was on during that time + my window is on the sunny side so it might have been damaged by the sun. I have no idea whatsoever what to do, I'd appreciate any help I could get. Thanks in advance.

  • Yosemite many issues

    Hi,
    I hope someone can address these issues. I don't know where I can send my questions. I have iMac late 2013 with Yosemite, iPad mini 2014 with iOS8.1, Apple TV 2 and Time capsule.
    Here is what I have problem sofar:
    Airdrop - If I try to Airdrop a link from Safari from Mac. There is a window open, I can see my iPad and the page I try to send, and nothing happens, the system blocks for a while and after the window disappear. Theres is nothing coming on the iPad. If I try to send a photo or a file via AirDrop it works in both directions;
    Markup - I attach a photo from my Mac , I can see the small Markup icon on the upper right corner of the photo. I open it and there are different tools appearing - again the windows freezes and I cannot do any modifications on the photo. I have to restart the mail app.
    Sound - Every time I restart the Mac the sound icon is inactive - I have to go preferences/sound and I can see that the aggregate device is selected instead of internal speakers -  I have to change the sound output manually.
    Launchpad - I have an empty app group which I cannot delete, nor change the names of other groups of apps.
    Notification centre - cannot add or remove some of the stocks.
    Finder - my iMac name is - iMacs iMac. All of a sudden it become iMacs iMac (2) and latter iMacs iMac (6). What are these numbers ?
    Thank you very much,
    If someone could at least tell me where to ask.
    Nice day

    I had other issues i.e. wifi for which I found answers already

    Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it's your User's folder that contains the problem.
    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Test Markup in Mail using the iCloud account.
    Continue testing to see what works in the new User.
    Do you still see the issue?
        If yes, then the problem is with your base files.
        If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.
    Finder - my iMac name is - iMacs iMac. All of a sudden it become iMacs iMac (2) and latter iMacs iMac (6). What are these numbers ?
    In System Preferences > Sharing you can see name. When Finder adds a number it indicates it's seeing another drive with the same name. You can select to rename but this could also be an indication of issues at the base level.
    Do you have an external drive that could be used to clone your drive in case you need to do a clean install?
