Late 2009 iMac is failing. No obvious reason - help!

My late 2009 iMac has been getting slower and slower in last few months and is now practically dead. I've checked everything (Ram, CPU, rogue processes) and can see nothing obvious. I have 1.8GB free RAM, CPU never looks busy in Activity monitor. I upgraded to Mavericks on hope it would help but nadda.
I keep getting the waiting ball appear when I try to do things. Sometimes I get an hour of undisturbed bliss, then relentless waiting with every click. When I restart the machine it is always at its worse, till about 2-3 hours later when the iMac seems to have settled and I can actually do a few things without prolonged waiting.
I tried to reinstall Mavericks to see if that worked but the reinstall failed at the last minute, leaving me back where I started.
Full system details of my machine are:

  • Late 2009 iMac intel partially black screen graphics help?

    I have a late 2009 27 inch imac which started to get this issue:- webpages will have black where images should be, open window boxes will be black, drop down menu's either black or multicoloured and can't be read, mouse over icons on dock makes them black, text documents is all black- however the wallpaper is normal and borders of the webpages etc...
    Booted using the apple hardware test cd- short test and long result resulted in no hardware issues however only long test fixes the black issue for a day before it returns again.
    What is the issue, do i need to replace the graphics card.  I believe there is alot of dust inside so could this be the issue?  I also installed the smc fancontroll and set speeds of around 2000rpm with average temps under 55'c.  Before smc speeds were default to 1000 rpm and temp highest was 60'c.
    I have also tried switch on imac when fully cold, but straight away the issue is present even though temp is low of 30'c.  so far the only fix is to long test using the apple hardware test cd.
    Please give informed help as i am pretty useless with regards to programs etc..having been a pc user before this imac.
    incidently the graphics card is ati Radeon HD 4850 512 MB.

  • Late 2009 imac with dead LCD; external monitor?

    Hello, all
    I need some help.  The LCD on my late 2009 iMac has failed.  I took it into the Apple Store and they told me it was dead and it would be $500+ to replace it, which I do not have.
    The machine is intact, however, other than that!  The Apple Store rep even told me that they tried it with an external monitor, to validate that the video card is working, and it worked fine.  Great news!
    My question, however, is how do I get it to boot to an external monitor?
    I have booted the mac in target disk mode, booted from that target disk on another mac, and changed the settings so that the display is mirrored onto a second monitor.  When I boot into the iMac, however, I get the Apple Logo and the "white screen of death" and the machine never finishes loading using the external monitor.  I need to know if there is some way to force it to use that monitor for the primary display.
    Cheers all, and thanks for any help!

    Hello,
    I'm wondering if boting from it's drive on the oother Mac didn't write some of the other Mac's Monitor info to it?
    Instead of Mirroring, what if you make the external monitor the main one by dragging the Dock to it?
    If you can ever get it to boot, this thread may be helpful if you want mirroing...

  • Is anyone using SMC fan control on their late 2009 iMacs?

    I am very concerned about the heat from my iMac.
    I have a late 2009 27 inch model.
    I noticed a lot of posts of GPU and HD failures.
    I bought this iMac used through a certified Apple reseller and I can't afford any problems with this for awhile.
    Computer components do not Ike heat.
    And despite everything I have been reading in this forum aluminum can retain heat. Not simply vent all of it away from the back casing.
    Excessive heat is what shortens the life span of any components In a computer.
    Heat in a computer is the enemy!
    I do not care what I am getting for temp readings from my iMac.
    It's very, very warm and I don't like it and feel it will cause issues in the near future.
    I just bought this iMac three months ago and, at least for awhile due to personal health issues, I can't afford to repair a potential failure that might occur in the near future.
    I posted a similar thread not long ago but only got one response I was not happy or confident with.
    I want to know if anyone is running SMC Fan Controls on late 2009 iMac models and if it has helped and whether anyone had issues with it.
    I want my iMac to run cooler than it does now.
    I am in a living situation where I have limited means to cool the place I live. The room I am using has no air conditioning only a large ceiling fan and I am running a floor fan. I have a small fan blowing air behind the iMac's case to help with cooling it, also.
    Room temps can get into the high 80's.
    Also, if you are running SMC Fan Control on a 2009 iMac, could you give an idea what RPM setting you are using for the various fans.
    I am a freelance graphic designer, Illustrator, and audio/video guy.  Plus I have doing 3D CGI model work for the last few years. I run Photoshop. Final Cut and Blender quite often.
    Any real help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!
    ThanX.

    Even if I had one, I wouldn't run SMC Fan Control.  Apple has not released the limits of temperature for any of its Mac model interiors.  As such any temperature management is purely guesswork.  If you are having serious trouble maintaining an enivoronment suitable for computers, you probably should consider at minimum a window air conditioner unit.  http://www.apple.com/imac/specs.html are very particular about the outside environment.  If that is not able to be maintained, you seriously need to consider a different working environment.

  • My late 2009 iMac 27 inch hard drive just failed and is being replaced. It did not qualify for call back but I am wondering if there is others with similar issue

    As I stated my late 2009 iMac 27 inch hard drive failed and is being replaced.. I am being charged as machine does not qualify for the call back program..call backs are on 2011 machines.. However i am in shock that my segate internal iMac hard drive failed in less than two years.. are there others with similar issue? Also when I get machine back will new hard drive be stable .. How do I make sure my working environment is reliable.. I have all my data and work backed up and will be able to rebuild my system but I really do not want to have to go through this down the line again.

    Just to update everyone and maybe help people down the road .... It has been a week of **** .... I may have finally solved a problem that I have seen a ton of people in all different types of discussions around the world having trouble with ...... I am going to upload some pictures of what I was getting in the beginning and it came out of no where .... I had the random pixel problem with my display and to make a long story short I came across an article two days ago regarding internal temperatures and fan speed ...... I kept reading about apples approach which is not the point  .....  More importantly I dug deeper into temperature control and fan settings .... I discovered all kinds of software and there is only one in my eyes that can help anyone dealing with this display problem .... I will be honest,  I do not have the money right now for anything extra and am barely getting by and that is why I kept at it ... I figured keep trying different things because  a repair is out of the question ... http://www.crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control   -   This program has solved my problem - I get to adjust three internal temperatures inside my Imac and slowly but surely as the temperatures remained constant the display is fine .... Like new again .... I cant believe it ..... Turns out the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB graphics card gets very hot causing it to not do what it is supposed to   ..... Anyone that has any questions do not hesitate to contact me ...... I am going to upload some pics .... They are not that clear but if you are going through this you will recognize the images for sure - There was   so many more variations but this should help out - Thanks to everyone that takes the time out to help people on this support site .... I want to send a shout out to The Art Of Sound .... He is the most knowledgeable Apple person I have ever come across and I am an Apple user for 20+ years

    Thanks for all the replies.
    I've now installed the ad blocker, thrown away the unwanted files, and thrown away a copy of Firefox that Adware said had a problematic extension.
    Things are better, but still slow.
    Activity Monitor shows that with just Mail, Chrome and Excel running, 2.9GB of my 4GB RAM is used. Opening InDesign (always slow) increase that to 3.2GB. But the graph stays green.
    Console shows several potential problems but I don't know if any are significant. In any case I will call my Mac store tomorrow to ask their advice about RAM.

    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • RAM issues after installation (Late 2009 iMac)

I purchased 8GB of memory from Corsair off Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Channel-204-Pin-SO-DIMM-CMSA8GX3M2A1066C7/dp/B0050 5EZYW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1403201294&sr=8-6&keywords=mac+memory+notebook+8+gb), which, despite saying is "Notebook Memory" in the description, there are numerous reviews stating that it works in late 2009 iMacs and the packaging itself says it will work with iMacs. I've installed memory before on two other Macs, including another late 2009 iMac (from 4GB to 8GB), but have had issues with this most recent installation. Like I said before, the computer originally had 4GB of memory, with 2x2GB cards in their original slots (the two slots closest to the stand). So, I installed the 2x4GB cards in the bottom two slots (slots closest to the display).
    Upon rebooting the computer, I get a single loud tone, repeated every 5 seconds, which, according to other support articles, means that there is no RAM installed. I took out the RAM cards and tried various installations, and can't even get the original two cards, by themselves and in their original slots, to work. I'm pretty sure I am installing them correctly - I don't hear a loud click when I slide them into place, but the fit definitely feels snug and can hear them shift into place, plus I get a nice click when I've popped them out with the tabs.
    Other things to note - there seems to have been a fair amount of dust when I first removed the plate where the memory is held, but that was easily blown away, but I could have possibly lodged dust further into the slot. But I highly doubt that is the issue. I installed it on a carpeted floor to protect the screen, which looking back could mean there was a slight static charge, but am not sure if this would result in damaging the cards to the point where the computer does not recognize them anymore. I didn't realize this till after the first failed installation, but there was a refrigerator-type calendar magnet (very, very weak) on the front of the computer that I am wondering might also have something to do with the issues.
    I could try installing the RAM on the other late 2009 iMac but don't want to risk ruining another computer...
    Please let me know if there's any additional information I can supply. I wanted to include any possible sources of issues so I can pinpoint exactly what caused this to occur, or if there's something I am simply not doing correctly.

    Not sure if it's a permanent solution, but found something that works. Not sure exactly how the locking mechanism for the cards work, but I had an idea that possibly one side was seated poorly, causing the issue to occur. I therefore tried two cards on the left side, found that didn't work, and tried two cards on the right side, and that did work. I tried two cards on the right side, with one card either in the top left corner or top bottom corner, and the top left corner worked, but caused the computer to start beeping again shortly after turning on. Took out that card, restarted the computer, and now it works fine, albeit with less memory than I originally wanted. It did once run into an issue shortly after turning on when it did 3 short beeps, 3 long beeps, and 3 short beeps. I saw an error online with the inverse (3 long, 3 short, 3 long), but couldn't find a definitive answer for what my particular pattern meant (someone said it was a logic board error). Anyway, I left it by itself as I looked for an answer, and in the meantime it restarted again and ended up fixing itself.
    Not exactly sure if this will start another series of issues, but that seems to work in the meantime.

  • Boot Camp for Windows 7 64 bit on 21.5" late 2009 iMac

    I've read much about installing Windows 7 64 bit on my 21.5" late 2009 iMacs -
    - nevertheless there is some lack of clarity about how to do it right.
    First I read "http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup10.6.pdf".
    That's all well and good, but nowhere in this document is that "USB storage device trick"
    (see "http://support.apple.com/kb/DL995") mentioned! On the other hand, in that DL995
    description there's nowhere mentioned that there are additional steps to do afterwards!
    OK - first I prepared my USB storage device according to DL995, made a 201GB partition,
    inserted the 64 bit Windows 7 DVD and ran the installation without any problems.
    Windows works, but brightness and volume controls for example don't work.
    (When I press F1 I get Windows help etc.)
    I can't find Boot Camp installed under Windows anywhere!
    After the same installation on my second 21.5" iMac everything looks identical
    with the exception that under "Bluetooth Devices" on one machine there's
    "Apple Wireless Keyboard" and "Apple Wireless Mouse" installed - on the other
    machine NOT, even tough I've NEVER used Bluetooth devices any of both
    machines (just used wired Apple keyboard and USB Trackball).
    How can this be? What's wrong?
    Before I continue (OS X disc, 3.1 update... if required at all?),
    how can I verify that the USB storage device had been used at all?/
    How would it look if it wouldn't have been used?
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your reply.
    You inserted and ran Apple setup off your OS X DVD once W7 was updated and running?
    That adds a bunch of devices and services, OSSwitcher, TimeServices, the Boot Camp
    control panel, and would show Boot Camp version 3.0 in Programs control panel.
    Yes, I know, but I haven't installed it yet. First I want to make sure that the first
    step of the installation (DL995) worked well. on both Macs. Do you know how this
    could be verified? What should have been installed from the USB device?
    It puzzles me that on my 2nd iMac under "Bluetooth Devices"
    "Apple Wireless Keyboard" and "Apple Wireless Mouse"haven't been installed.
    Maybe this is a clue, that on that iMac the USB device had been ignored
    during windows installation? Or could that have another reason?
    This is my problem at the moment.

  • Installing Windows 7 on a late 2009 iMac running Mavericks

    I'm running a perfectly good late-2009 iMac running Mavericks and had a bootcamp partition that worked until I needed to replace my hard drive.
    Now I want to install Windows 7 (via bootcamp) for gaming.  Bootcamp 5 won't download the software or allow a USB/ISO Windows 7 load due to my model/ROM version, which is:
    Model Name:               iMac
    Model Identifier:          iMac10,1
    Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed:          3.33 GHz
    Number of Processors:          1
    Total Number of Cores:         2
    L2 Cache:                      6 MB
    Memory:                       8 GB
    Bus Speed:                    1.33 GHz
    Boot ROM Version:        IM101.00CC.B00
    I've read quite a few threads about the apple software download server issues, creating an ISO, adjusting the BootCamp package, using virtualbox, etc. to bypass this.  But can't find anything addressing my specific situation where I'm running mavericks AND have an older ROM version that won't allow USB install for some stupid reason.
    I've made an ISO boot disk (and USB), tried adjusting my BootCamp package strings, and have virtualbox, winclone, Daemon tools, etc. but can't get to the point where I can upload the bootcamp software and Win7.  Has anyone solved this problem?

    No one has done this before?

  • My hard drive is slower than ever - Late 2009 iMac - help requested

    I was testing my hard disk via BlackMagic Disk Speed Test across the network (for copying files from my MacBook Pro to my Late 2009 iMac, and I was shocked at the write speeds.
    Because of this, I went to the machine and ran local tests, both BlackMagic and xbench. Suddenly I was horrified when I saw the performance for write operations well below the speeds I'd observed in the past. Luckily, I had saved xbench files so I had the ability to compare old disk tests. In the summer of 2013 running 10.7.3, this same hard drive had an uncached write speed of 116 MB/s [4K blocks] and 94 MB/s [256K block]. Now, the drive running under 10.9.5 is performing very inconsistently, with top speeds around 80 MB/s and averages more like 50 MB/s.
    I cannot think of any significant changes to tools or background applications installed since that time, so I ran EtreCheck -- the results of which I'm pasting below.
    Any guidance as to what I should test would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading! --
    Chris
    Problem description:
    Hard disk slowed to less than half the speed from Mac OS X 10.7.3, as I am now on 10.9.5 and the speed appears to be roughly 40M/s uncached write down from 119M/s previously. I am using the same drive, memory and most of the same applications.
    The only large difference is the OS.

    Hi Eric -
    I did a horrible job of explaining *when* the slow performance became noticeable. These changes did not happen when I installed Mavericks, I just don't have benchmarks *saved* to give the support community exact numbers after Mavericks was installed. The performance at that time was roughly the same, although you might recall that the old app xbench no longer worked to give a comparison because one or more of the sections of testing wouldn't work (memory, if I recall correctly, although I will run it when I am back at that machine and post here).
    In any case, the only significant change since the slow down is the OS, but the decline in performance was noticed in the fall. It wasn't until I tried this network copying task the other day that I decided to run BlackMagic's test. This is when I realized I should go check the performance on the local machine. Having already run through many of the generic recommendations, I thought perhaps someone here who has a much deeper understanding of the storage abstraction layer would have guidance on specific preference files that might be corrupted since I can't find any tool to check them. I've noticed that many of the people seeking guidance are not very technical and the advice is similarly geared. I'm sure I could spend a little time this week finding comparable tools in Mac OS X to those I'd have used in the past on Windows (Sysinternals) to do real time debugging and process analysis.
    So far I have found that there were a few processes running high, like the dashboard client, so I moved (deleted) the preference file and rebooted. This resulted in the gain to that 60 MB/sec write performance (up from the low of 40 MB/sec), but there must be other areas yet unexplored.
    At this point I'm considering a fresh install, but I'd been told in previous exchanges when I first started developing on Macs (2008) that fresh installs were rarely the best solution on Macs.
    Can you give me guidance on that? You probably know that in the Windows world it is often (depending on how you define often) necessary to format and reinstall the OS. As a long time systems architect developing everything from device drivers to enterprise solutions, I see that as a result of the attempts to maintain legacy support for so long and the convoluted resulting APIs and failure to make real fixes for fear of causing problems with older hardware and software. Would you suggest erasing and reinstalling?
    @BobHarris - I know that's a problem and it's why I monitor the drive more than I do drives in other systems. My drive didn't qualify for replacement, but I think Apple doesn't always do a good job with the recalls. I was very fortunate that my old white MacBook qualified for quite a few replacement parts so it's a great browsing-the-web computer now, but at its age, it isn't capable of running most of the apps I need. I have considered selling the 27" iMac but when I last had it in for warranty repair, the DisplayPort was misaligned to the case, so I'm going to have to pay labor just to get it popped open to fix that (since the service center says they didn't cause the DP problem - although they must have!)... In any case, if I have to spend that money, I might as well use the drive doubler kit since I never use the optical drive in that box anyway. Mostly I love having it because of the gorgeous big screen. That being said, costs of repairs are silly when I can just buy another used MBP circa 2012 and get twice the processing power then use a CalDigit dock like the one I use with my existing MBP to use an inexpensive HD TV for the monitor.
    Thanks for the replies folks - the input is awesome!

  • I have a late 2009 iMac. I installed OSX 10.8.4 and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I have a 1.5TB external HD. Are there any issues I need to know about or tips I need to know before doing this? Thanks.

    I have a late 2009 iMac. I installed OSX 10.8.4 and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I have a 3TB external HD. Are there any issues I need to know about or tips I need to know before doing this? Thanks.

    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
          from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
          Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
          the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

  • Late 2009 iMac running sporadically slow

    Hi I was wondering if anyone could help
    I have a late 2009 iMac with 4gb of Ram which is running intermittently slow and hanging. It has periods when it works fine and then others where the icons bounce for ages before opening and the little spinning circles arrive when even doing the most basic of activities. I don't have hundreds of things open at once.
    Its hardwired to the network so even if streaming iCloud music it shouldn't really cause the system to hang.
    Its upgraded to Yosemite, but these issues were pre-exisiting and its been slow for a while.
    Use dropbox and appreciate big syncs will have an issue, but at the moment that is all up to date.
    Below is a system report and:

  • 'Late 2009' iMac running hotter than usual (Power-related)

    For the past month or so, my 27" iMac (2.66 GHz i5) has been running hotter than usual (heat management has been terrible on these things for years). Using iStat Menus, I've tracked the culprit down to the power system, with the board and primary/secondary heat sinks regularly approaching 90º C (the secondary heat sink has actually hit 90º). The fans are ramping up as I would expect, but I'm a bit concerned over the frequency with which this happens. It seems like programs that, in the past, would not have taxed the CPU as much are suddenly ramping up to 100% usage, which obviously heats up the power supply. The only thing I can think of that's different is Mavericks (10.9.4). I know it has a few new bells and whistles that are supposed to use the CPU more efficiently and pull less power in the long run, but it seems like the exact opposite is happening.
    Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions (short of rolling back to Snow Leopard, which I might do)? Is this a sign that the Mac is on its way out?

    If the machine suddenly shuts down on its own or kernel panics, I'd be concerned.  Do not attempt to modify anything internally except ensuring the RAM is to stated to be Late 2009 iMac compatible.  Not all 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs (204-pin) RAM are alike.  http://www.crucial.com/ http://www.macsales.com/ and http://www.datamem.com/ all sell RAM by age of computer and model name.  Do not get ValueRAM.  Only get lifetime warranty RAM.

  • Late 2009 imac- Mavericks, Kernel Panics- checkerboard screen- only works in Safe Mode now.

    Need help with Late 2009 imac- had HD and video card replaced under Apple Care last year. Upgraded to Mavericks and it froze up while on Yahoo looking at a slide show. Screen pixelated with checkerboard patterns and then eventually locks-up. Only way to get it to work now is in SAFE MODE.
    Tried memory test, Resetting SMC, AHT, Zapping NVRAM, PRAM, only errors I can see are some permissions

    All RAM tested individually and Passed- Ran a Ram memory test as well.
    New kernel panic is now as follows-
    What's interesting is I had the video card replaced at Apple in the last year- it's a ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
    But I see that the log has it listed as
    "com.apple.ATIRadeonX2000(8.2.4)" 
    wondering if that my be the problem as the issue is the screen is fragmented and flickers- checkerboard before it crashes when not in safe mode..
