Is iMac 27" (mid 2010) Quad-Core Intel Core i7 64-bit kernel ???
Hello,
Sorry I'm not familiar with 64-bit term and would like to know is iMac 27" (mid 2010) Quad-Core Intel Core i7 a 64-bit processor and does it support in Mac OS X?? I'm confused as I from the Apple list "Mac OS X v10.6: Macs that use the 64-bit kernel" does not have latest iMac models. I plan to buy iMac 27" Core i7 for video editing and also like to know does Final Cut support 64-bit too. Appreciate all kind advise please.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
it's in list...
These Macs *support the 64-bit kernel*, but do not use it by default.
*iMac (Early 2008) and later*
MacBook Pro (Early 2008) and later
The keyword is "not by default"
Regards
Stefan

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo,
10gb of Ram...looking to max it at 16 even though apple says 8gb.
I upgraded to a Travelstar 1tb HDD 7200rpm max 6gb/s and waiting for my data doubler from OWC.
I am also hoping to buy an SSD. But Where should I place the HDD and SSD?
I read a forum saying that since my MBP is 2010, my HDD should stay in the main bay, and the SSD in the optical drive due to gb/s or somthing?
Can anyone clarify?
I thought SSD would be better in the main bay and HDD in the optical.
I am thinking of getting the Samsung pro SSD 120gb? or the 228gb?
Thank youFor best performance place the "system disk" in the internal slot and the second disk in the optical bay. I assume your SSD will be your system disk.

I dont know if a 2.4 GHZ Core 2 duo with 2GB of RAM and a mid 2010 model of my Macbook will run smoothly with Mac OS X Lion. Can anybody help make my decision either i should upgrade from snow leopard to lion?

I am suffering .... and im the last person to be on such discussion forum... but now I am here... you may be able to guage my furstration. Snow Leapord is zillion times better than Lion... they should call it pu**y instead of lion.

HDD for iMac 27" mid 2010 Quad-Core Intel Core i7
I plan to buy iMac Core i7 and hesitating on upgrade the 1TB HDD to 2TB. Worry on the reliability of 2TB HDD. Would like to know what is the exact model of the 1TB and 2TB HDD for iMac Core i7.
Any kind soul able to disclose the make and model for these two HDD?
Thanks in advance.There is no exact model. Apple has supply contracts with 3-4 different HDD manufacturers and which one you get in your machine would be luck of the draw.
But the HDD would be covered under the warranty, so as long as you keep backups, you'd only have the hassle of being without a system for a short time if it failed. -
Imac 27 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7,with 1TB Fusion Drive and logic
hi all, i just upgraded my old imac and now im going to have the 27 inch 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7,with 1TB Fusion Drive
how will logic is going to work? is it much better than my old i3 21.5 imac? i didnt like to work with my old imac, was very laggy.
thanks
Arad.Anything purchased after mid-July has EFI (like BIOS in PCs) that only likes Lion. Maybe some up through mid-August could possibly run SL, but anyhing sold last week is Lion-only.
A very lucky few accidentally receive a SL-system when they buy new, but very few. -

How do I transfer contents of hard drive on PPC iMac G4 to a new quad-core Intel Core i5
Although my PPC iMac G4 still works OK, I am beginning to realise the time has probably come to get a current model in order to keep up with all the advances that have happened since I bought it about 8 years ago: I will probably get the new quad-core Intel Core i5.
As this will only be my second computer, I am wondering how I can transfer all the stuff on my hard drive onto a new computer and how easy it will be,given the apparently outdated connections on my G4 like USB 1,and possibly other things I don't know about.I am running 10.4.11.
Any tips gratefully received.As Allen indicates, Setup Assistant appears automatically, since you do have firewire, the transfer should be speedy, depending on how much data are on the G4. The firewire on your G4 is FW400, your new Mac has FW800, but you can get an inexensive adaptor that will allow the connection, since the ports are different.
You don't need an external now, but I strongly advise getting one, with a drive as large or larger than your new Mac, you should clone/back up frequently, I use SuperDuper! which will allow automatic backups. -
I am looking for a Suitable ethernet cable for my new Imac 27-inch iMac 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 (Mavericks 10.9.4) & old imac 1 GHZ PowerPC G4 (10.4.11) for transfering files, documents, photos into my new intel mac from my old power PC imac.
Can anyone please advise me which suitable ethernet cable would be suitable for tasks.
Many thanks
NiallNote, the iMac G4 1 Ghz only supports 10/100 base-T. Firewire is up to 4 faster with a cable such as this one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA833ZM/A/belkin-firewire-800400-9-pin6-pin-ca ble-2-m66-ft
and adapted to this one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
http://www.macsales.com/ may offer cheaper cables.
And since you are migrating from a G4, be sure to make your files portable to newer data formats before transferring. Old Appleworks/Clarisworks files are not compatible:

can the 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 in a mid2011 27" iMac be up graded to the 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
Yes, but it isn't easy. Read http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27364872-iMac-CPU-Upgrade and the links in there before starting that project.

So What is the Max Ram Support ?
Officially 16GB however OWC has advised it will support 32GB. BTW you can trust OWC, they are a reliable vendor that specializes in Macs. They test everything the either make or sell. Also they have terrific support and will ship internationally. -
I want to buy for my new office, 2 pieces of iMac 21.5-inch Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 3.1GHz
8 GBSDRAM, 1 TB Fusion Drive.
I wan to be sure 100%, that this model has inside the new fourth generation Haswell processor.
I don't find anywhere "Haswell" write in the specification.
Please advice!If it is a Late 2013 model it has the Haswell CPU. Right you won't but Apple only sells the latest models on the main Mac store website and all others, last year models, get move to the Refurbished area or are sold off to Apple store or Apple authorized resellers.

Ok so I'm thinking about switching to Mac from PC and I need help. Here is what I plan on getting:
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
2TB Serial ATA Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
My questions are:
1. How long has this configuration been out? i.e. how soon will Apple upgrade the iMac to better CPU and GUI?
2. Can you add a SSD later?
3. Without being able to add a New GUI (and other upgrades you can do with a PC) how long would this iMac last with the way technology advances?
4. What problems if any are the iMac experiencing right now?jbrownlow wrote:
I guess I should rephrase the question. How long has the 3.4 i7 and AMD Radeon 6970M been available in the iMac? What I don't wont to do is get the 3.4 i7 and next week a 3.6 comes out etc. I read the same thing from http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iMac
This machine was released in May 2011. The configuration you are quoting is currently state of the art for an iMac. Without knowing how you use your computer it's extremely difficult to say how long it will be useful. If you are professional musician or filmmaker where you tax the CPU's capabilities then spending the money when a significantly faster machine is released should make little difference to you. However if use the machine for basics like surfing the web, e-mail and some MS Office work this machine is overkill now and will be for many years. If you use the machine primarily as a gaming platform then you would enjoy it as long as the GPU keeps up with your gaming demands.
So the question back to you is how do you intend to use the computer? -

I've only had my new iMac for a week and today when I rebooted I got a gray circle with a line through it. I've already done the command-r and used Disk Utility to Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions... over and over. As a last resort I even reinstalled Mountain Lion with the OS X Internet Recover. No such luck. After it still booted with the gray circle with a line through it.
I was able to use "Scan Image for Restore" to see that all my files are on the hard drive.
What should I do?Thanks for the response, mende1!
Unfortunately, I also previously tried booting with the Shift key. Nothing. It acted like I wasn't even pressing the Shift key. I tried it multiple times. Sorry, I forgot to say that in my initial post.
I just tried the Option key and selected Macintosh HD (the only option). I still got the gray circle with the line though it.
I've already spent at least 30-40 hours installing all my software and transferring over all my pics and music. I can't "erase the disk and install OS X again". -
Exactly what 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor is shipped with an iMac 27 in?
exactly what 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor is shipped with an iMac 27 in? For numerical computation alone (no graphics), how does it compare with the Mac Pro 3.33GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere”?
thanksFrom what I've read, it's the Core i7-2600. As to performance, if you do a web search for "iMac Core i7 3.4 benchmarks", you should find a lot of information.

Hi there,
I'm considering buying either a Mac Mini (2.7GHz Dual Core Intel Core i5) or an iMac (2.7GHz Quad Core Intel Core i5). I'm just wondering what the difference in speed is between the two different chips. If both had 4GB of memory would the iMac be a lot faster than the Mac Mini? I'm a graphic designer so I'd be mostly using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
Many thanks,
RichardYou mean this information:
