Keyboard replacement for iMac Intel OS X 10.4.11 ? HELP!

My iMac4,1 Intel Core Duo running OS X 10.4.11.
Can't upgrade OS?, no new keyboard replacement will work...what do I do?, besides drop 3k on a new Mac. HELP ME PLEASE!

New iMac's are not $3K, they start at $1199. You have had 5+ years of use, perhaps it's time for an upgrade anyhow. BTW exactly what keyboards have you tried and have you done and SMC reset after installing the keyboard. If you don't know how please read:

  • Need genealogy program for imac intel

    I need genealogy program for new imac intel. My old program was for Apple G II S. Have viewed program called heredis mac x.2 but don't know if it is compatible for imac intel. All new territory for me. Thank you, Lisa

    Though I don't have an Intel Mac, I use both Heredis and Reunion. You could check with each company about Intel compatibility.
    I keep my file in both because the FH represents the greatest investment of time for anything on the computer. I want always to have a usable file so dont put all my eggs in one basket.
    Reunion is a bit more versatile inrespect of the fundamental structures but Heredis uses a different basic construction which I wanted as a reserve. Heredis is about £20 less expensive here in UK than Reunion.
    One specific thing about Heredis is that it stores the actual data file or files as documents in the user documents folder. You need to realise what these things are in said folder and not delete them by accident.
    The down side of using two different programmes is that of synchronisation. If you add new data in one app you need to add it manually in the other. I would never trust it to GEDCOM transfer to transfer all fields correctly especially if you have data in the more esoteric fields of any particular programme.
    Heredis has an ability to display a 3d tree showing all, I repeat all the relationships including the families of removed cousins etc rather like a complex organic molecule. It is zoomable and you can get text data displayed from any person box, any 'atom' ,to pursue the analogy. It has source and repository features just as good as the more expensive Reunion. It may be ruled out for some though. It has no tab to indicate the 'disposal' of a family member as being "abducted by aliens', whereas Reunion has!

  • Would a Top Case keyboard replacement for Macbook Unibody A1342 (US version), be compatible w/my Macbook if originally it had a Japanese version?

    I bought a Macbook Unibody back in 2010, and until now the system is still working perfectly fine, probably because I keep on updating my software version, currently I am on Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)...I don't have issues with it.
    I bought this Macbook in Japan, the keyboard version is on Japanese (with US alphabets) becaue I was studying Kanji back then, and apparently I am now living here in the Philippines and some of my keyboard keys are lost and they were taken off by my naughty niece (LOL, couldn't blame her though... she's just 2 years old)... now I am looking for a replacement. I couldn't find Japanese version of Top Case replacements here in Manila... now I kinda realized I might as well use a US version moving forward.
    Now my question is re: Top Case keyboard replacement for Macbook Unibody A1342 (US version), would it be compatible w/my Macbook if originally it had a Japanese version?
    Thanks in advance for all the help & informations. I would really appreciate it before I buy a replacement.
    Have a good one guys! ^_^)Y

    but it has been dropped a bit.
    Translation - It has been dropped multiple times.
    All the problems are likely related. Better get it to an Apple service rep and be aware that any warranty does not cover abuse of the product.

  • Is there a virtual pc or Windows emulator for iMac intel duo?

    Hi there,
    I just got a new iMac intel duo last week and its fantastic. Unfornatuly I need to run a stock market program that only runs on windows...
    This is the only program that i need to run on the windows platform.
    I was told to get the intel duo as it was the way things were going and that I may have to wait for the software side of things to catch up.
    I currently have a workaround that is painfull, but I would like to have it all on the one machine...
    Is there a virtual pc version for the iMac intel duo or are there other emulators I could use??
    Desparate..

  • What's the best quality and cheapest 1GB RAM seller for iMac Intel?

    I am looking to buy a 1GB RAM chip for my iMac Intel. However, this can be very expensive when bought straight from Apple. Where else can I get 1GB of RAM for a cheap price that will give me the quality I am looking for?
    iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Currently have 512 MB RAM on iMac

    Yes, you can successfully use a single 1Gb module. You can just as well add a second one that isn't matched. However, it should be very easy to match RAM modules without buying the second one from Apple. To be "matched" they must both be same speed, same size, same number of component chips on both sides.
    Size is easy, both 1GB. Speed is easy, both PC2-5300 667MHz. Component chips - little black square or rectangular chips attached to one or both sides of the board. Count the number on each side of the board and duplicate that configuration and the two modules, one from Apple and one from xyz company, will be "matching" RAM. If there are 4 on the front and 4 on the back, buy another like that. If there are 8 on one side, and none on the other, buy another like that.

  • Can one upgrade the graphic card for Imac (intel based)?

    can one upgrade the graphic card in an Imac (intel based)?

    While anything is theoretically possible, you would need to find another GPU that is compatible with your specific model iMac, and you would need to modify OS X to use a driver appropriate for whatever you propose to install. Future OS X updates would break it in short order. Not only that, you'd void whatever warranty that remains. It's not worth it.

  • Download OLYMPUS MASTER 2 FOR IMAC intel

    Making the switch from PC to Apple.  My iMac Intel does not recognize the Olympus Master 2 DVD that does work on the PC.   Is there a free complete download (not just an upgrade) for Olympus Master 2 that will work in my iMac Intel.

    Try >  Olympus Imaging Software - Olympus Master 2
    If it is incompatible with 10.7, give iPhoto a try. > Apple - Support - iPhoto

  • OS X install disk for iMac Intel

    My imac intel HD needs repair. I booted with the Install disk. Started Disk Untilies app. I can not use the mouse to select, verify/repair permission or verify/repair disk. I can not quit the app via the mouse, only with the keyboard. Dose anyone have an idea what is going on? And how can I repair the HD.

    To answer your questions.
    1 Yes, it is the wired mosuse that shipped with the iMac.
    2 Within the Disk Utilities app, the mouse wwill not allow me to select "Permissions or Reair bottons. They are noe grayed ot out. Also, I can not quit the app via the mouse. If I choose any options from the menu that offers a dialog box with options, I can not select any options. I can only use the keyboards Return key to choose the default option.
    3. I ahve considered the mouse as a source of the problem. But when I ran the "Verify Disk" from the Disk Utilities on the HD, I get several "Illegal Name" response.
    4. Also, from the OSX installer disk, I can not go beyond the 1st Installer page. The mouse, point & click, will not work. But no problem with the mouse when booting from the HD.
    This is verey odd. Is it a faulty DVD installer disk?? Have been a Apple user from 1982 and Mac user since 84, I guess I expected a better product.

  • Best 2nd monitor for iMac Intel 20"

    A few months back I stumbled upon a great article comparing Apple and 3rd party monitors that could match up well with the iMac Intel 20".. of course I can't find it now that I'm using actually using this iMac. I'm curious to hear your experiences/views on 2nd monitors that match up well for this specific computer. Thanks

    There is a MiniDVI output port on this iMac. Simply purchase one of the following adaptors and configure the dual display in Apple menu > System Preferences... > Displays. (The options appear when you connect the display):
    Mini DVI - DVI
    Mini DVI - VGA
    Mini DVI - Composite/S-Video.
    DVI will also certainly provide the best picture quality but the exact choice of display depends on your budget and intended usage. For example budget LCD displays are inappropriate for work that requires colour accuracy.
    Your iMac will support displays with the following resolutions:
    Digital resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
    Analogue resolutions up to 2045 x 1536

  • WWAN Support Update 1.0 how come no support for imac intel?

    imac intel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Agreed. I think it's pretty presumptuous of Apple to decide how we are going to use our computers.
    Being able to use my U720 on the iMac would be quite handy in a number of situations. As it is, we're forced to use a router, (none of which support the U720 very well at this point)

  • Is 17" PPC LCD display a compatible replacement for 17" Intel?

    iMac G5 17" 1.83GHz Intel Core2Duo has broken LCD screen.
    I wish to replace using screen from iMac G5 17" 1.8GHz PPC.
    Will it work?

    This much I do know, the G5 was much easier to take apart than the Intel.  Even if the screens are compatible, you'll have to be very exact how you place it.   http://www.ifixit.com/ and http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ are some of the best take apart websites I've seen.  They might have the answer you are looking for.

  • External Drive replacement for iMac "SuperDrive" ?

    From reading this forum, it seems some iMac SuperDrives (mine included) have serious problems with reading and/or scratching discs. Apparently the only real solution is to use an external drive.
    Can anyone recommend an external drive (USB or Firewire 800) that is compatible with the Mac CD and DVD disk-burning functions, iMovie and iDVD, will download software, play movie DVDs, and music CDs? In other words, it should do everything the SuperDrive is supposed to do. Also, it should last more than 6 months!
    Thanks!

    only store they have is by chicago, which is also their office & where all of their tech support staff are located. they have hrs you can call in 7 days a week for help & are great about fixing or replacing anything that quits. haven't heard the same about lacie at all. the lacie drive are prettier tho, but seem more expenisve for what you actually get, imo.

  • Again macosx 10.4.6 update for imac intel

    as i see im not the only one who has problems with it.. so, i have only a isdn connection (64 kbit) but it works fine.. so.. i couldnt download the update via macosx update service, so i downloaded it on the apple support site, with a download manager, because my provider cuts the connection every 8 hours. i have an imac 1,83ghz intel with 512mb ram etc..
    everytime i try to install the update im able to get to the point "choose target volume" but thats it. i cant choose the macintosh HD as target volume, because there is an error message: "you cant install macosX update (intel) on this volume. this volume does not fulfill the qualifications for this update."
    i have 123gigs free memory on the hd, the update takes only 436mb it says..
    so.. i feel remembered to a meaningless windows error message...
    thank you!

    Hi Mario, my best guess.
    You don't say what version of 10.4 you are on now but if it is 10.4.4 you cannot use the 10.4.6 update, as it is incremental, you need the 10.4.6 Combo Update for Intel.
    Hence the message, "this volume does not fulfill the qualifications for this update"?
    Best to take a disk to a friend with broadband or an Apple store as sig says.
