  • My 27" late 2013 iMac crashes over and over again

    My wife and I bought identical iMacs (3.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 32 GB 1600MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB) in December. Both are up to date on OS X Mavericks. It crashes while I am using it, it crashes on its own if I leave it on overnight.  Sometimes just Mail crashes. I have never been able to associate this with any particular event -- once I was watching a video, once I was playing a Flash game online, once I was just reading Facebook, once I wasn't doing anything, several times it was overnight when I left it running...you get the idea.  I thought it might be TuneUp, which seemed to destabilize my old iMac, but my wife just finally got hers up and running and she is getting crashes too, and she doesn't have TuneUp. 
    This was shipped directly from Apple to a local AppleStore - no modifications by me.  Currently no third-party devices, either -- just hooked up to my iPad and iPhone and a keyboard.
    Looking at the discussion, this is endemic. Any new discoveries, or am I going to have to take this sucker back?
    I can't read the technical data in the logs, but I will paste in the log on the last kernel panic (this morning).
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks--

    The person above instructions were acurate. Also make sure your appdata folder is clear of the app's files. After the antivirus is gone click on finder in your dock. Then click Go. Once there click go to folder and type in "~/library/Application Support". There look around for the app's name. If a folder is named after the app is there, trash it. If it won't let you there are detailed instructions on how to force delete it. Just google. Now if you are still having the issue after the app is gone try resetting RAM. I recommend you do this first. If you are still getting errors click here. If the issue is still happening contact support imidiately, they can help.
    Edited because I fail to do grammatical and spelling checks.

  • Brand new 27-inch iMac Late 2013 repeatedly crashing with Mavericks

    Hi folks,
    I have a brand new 27-inch Mac from late 2013 running OS X 10.9.1 (Mavericks) with:
    3.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    32 GB RAM
    3 TB Fusion drive
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
    My system is hanging repeatedly, requiring a forced restart by holding down the power button - kernel panic I guess. Can't find a specific trigger, but I might be missing something.
    I've tried reinstalling the OS, and a full erase and reinstall, but I'm still getting the problem. I've also run the hardware checker and verified the hard disc - all report the system is OK.
    Annoyingly I can't startup in safe mode - think that's to do with having a 3TB Fusion drive.
    Any suggestions? If I need to post a crash log can you let me know what bit is needed?
    Thanks for your help.
    PS All the RAM was installed by Apple btw, so I don't think it's the mismatched voltage thing that others have had. Similarly, Google Drive is installed but not currently running.

  • Graphics related crashes since Yosemite on a 27' late 2013 iMac

    Hello all,
    My 27 inch late 2013 iMac with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB started freezing or auto-rebooting since I updated to Yosemite.
    Crashes would occur randomly and were sometimes accompanied by lots of red boxes on the screen.
    These kind of crashes seem to have stopped happening but now shifted to almost everytime I fire up Launchpad or Expose (and once when I opened the notifcation center). The screen freezes for a couple of seconds and the system will reboot, prompting me with a graphics related error.
    Because my searches on this issue come up empty I would like to ask if anyone can tell me whether or not this is a bug or a hardware related problem.
    Thanks for any help
    Maybe related: My iMac sometimes takes a more than usual amount of seconds to wake from sleep. The screen will turn on but remain black.

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    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 Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X 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.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Did you upgradde the RAM? If so, this may be your problem.
    If you want to upgrade to 32GB of RAM on your late 2013 27" iMac and don't want to pay Apple prices, buy the RAM from OWC.
    My iMac, crashed with the first batch of Kingston RAM sourced from an Apple approved service centre. Fortunately I got a full refund then sourced the RAM from OWC and it works perfectly.
    The benefits of OWC are
    1) You can order and ship globally
    2) The price is very competitve
    3) The website clearly states how they test the RAM and the comaptibility with your computers model no.
    4) They have a 30 day refund and a lifetime replacement policy
    5) You can get a rebate on your old RAM, although I didn't bother taking this up.
    Having been through the hassle, using OWC RAM is a no brainer and in my opinion the most convenient and effective upgrade. Hope this helps your decision!

  • Problem installing Windows 7 64-bit on late 2013 iMac 27"

    Is Windows 7 64-bit compatible with this computer?
    Hardware and software:
    • Late 2013 iMac 27", 3.5 GHz I7, 16 GB memory, 1 TB hard drive (no fusion drive)
    • Mac OS 10.9.1
    • USB thumb drive
    • Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.0
    • Windows 7 64-bit install disk iso image downloaded from Microsoft
    Install steps:
    1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 install (from iso image) and Apple Support Software (creates WININSTALL USB drive)
    2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create 50 GB Windows partition on iMac internal drive and start Windows install
    3. Complete initial install steps until given option to select install partition
    4. Select 50 GB partition. Error message that partition is not formatted correctly. Use Advance Options to format (presumably to NTFS)
    5. Select 50 GB partition again and click "Next"
    6. Get error message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
    7. Install quits at this point
    I have successfully installed Win 7 on another computer (2010 Mac Pro) using these steps. I also tried installation on the iMac using an iso image created from my original Win 7 64-bit install disk, with the same installation error as above.
    I'm wondering if Windows 7 and/or Boot Camp is compatible with this iMac. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    I am awaiting delivery on the exact model you have and have been researching how much trouble it will be to put 64 bit windows 7 ultimate on my machine when it gets here. I'm not pleased at what I've been reading so far. I have not seen the two other posts but yours is enough to concern me.
    Have you also seen that 10.9.1 update may be responsible for this? I've seen where 10.9 caused some problems with the bootcamp app but then the process was completely hosed with the 10.9.1 update. Are you seeing this as well?
    Being a life-long mac dude, it pains me when their stuff just doesn't work because it usually just does. ****, that's why I started on a mac in the first place.
    The support site says that they come with 90 days of complimentary support. Is this not an issue they should be responsible for addressing via support? Or is that just one long wait on hold waiting to talk to somebody that won't consider this a pure apple issue?
    I was also curious if your install .iso contains both 32 and 64 bit versions?

  • Fusion Drive of late 2013 Imac

    Is the fusion drive of the late 2013 iMac a combination of a PCIe ssd and a HD or does it have a sata ssd?

    Apple - Press Info - Apple Updates iMac
    says it's PCIe

  • Installing Windows 7 on Late 2013 iMac w/ Fusion Drive

    Sorry in advance for the long post, but I have tried to exhaust all possibilities, and bring as much knowledge about our environment to the table to avoid confusion.
    Here's our goal:  Install Mac & Windows on a Late 2013 iMac with a 1TB Fusion Drive
    Install our Mac Image with Deepfreeze on Partition 1
    Install our Windows 7 x64 Image with DeepFreeze on Partition 2
    Here's why our goal cannot work out of the box:
    Deepfreeze for Mac, is not supported on a Fusion Drive. Now before anyone says "just don't use deepfreeze"...we are using it, and that is that.
    In order to get our existing image to work on the iMac, we had to split the Fusion Drive.
    Splitting Up the Fusion Drive
    We booted into Recovery, Opened up terminal, retrieved the LvGUID, deleted it, and split up the SSD from the HD.
    So now, we have a 128GB SSD, and 1TB HD showing up under Diskutilitiy.
    We then partitioned the 1TB HD, into two, 500GB Partitions. One for Mac OSX 10.9.4, and the other for Windows.
    The 128GB SSD is going to be used for scratch space, temp, etc. And is irrelevant at this time.
    Deploying our Mac Image
    After splitting the Fusion Drive, we netbooted and installed a "NetRestore" of our image. Worked completely fine, no issues. DeepFreeze Works fine, the 128GB SSD shows up just fine, and the other 500GB Windows Partition shows up fine. All drives / partitions can be written to with no problem.
    Deploying our Windows Image
    Deployed our Windows Partition image as we have done in the past, by booting into a windows PE Disk. (We have other various 2009, 2010, and 2011 iMacs across campus, with NO FUSION DRIVES installed, and dual boot them successfully using the same procedure. Minus the splitting of the fusion drive part of course) After the Windows image is deployed to the windows partition, we then boot it up to a Windows 7 Install disk to fix the MBR, Bootrec, and BCD options to allow it to boot properly. Here's where we run into issues: Upon getting the Windows 7 Install screen, the USB Keyboard and Mouse, DO NOT WORK.
    Here's the options we've tried to get them to work properly
    1. Tried another known working Mac USB Keyboard & Mouse = Failed
    2. Tried a known working Windows Keyboard & Mouse = Failed
    3. Plugged Just a known working Mac Keyboard into each USB Port to see if recognized = Failed
    4. Plugged Just a known working Windows Keyboard into each USB Port to see if recognized = Failed
    5. Plugged Just a known working Mac Mouse into each USB Port to see if recognized = Failed
    6. Plugged Just a known working Windows Mouse into each USB Port to see if recognized = Failed
    7. A Windows 8.1 Recovery USB will boot and the USB Mouse & Keyboard are recognized and installed! (YAY!!) However, we cannot repair a Windows 7 install with Windows 8.1..
    BootCamp Drivers & Support Media
    Downloaded the Current BootCamp Support drivers to enable the USB and other various drivers to be loaded during setup (Placed the $WinPEDriver$ and AutoUnattend.xml, and BootCamp folder on the Root of a USB, and modified a Windows7 Installation disk and placed on the root as well) The drivers do not load. Have also placed on a brand new USB2, and USB3 flash drive formatted at FAT32, to see if that made a difference, which it did not. The BootCamp USB made within Mac, it loads saying "Now booting into Boot Camp Assistant Created USB Drive..." or something like that (Don't remember the exact Message)
    Side Note:
    Restored Fusion Drive to its original State, and booted from the BootCamp USB drive, still no usb Mouse & Keyboard Support.

    I have same issue
    Tried everything differend hdd,ssd  as well
    Basically when trying instal win 7 via iOS maverick when reboting and windows booting to the first scree everything freezing cant do  much.
    Also tried install clear ssd without any system, but soon after format ssd or hdd I have error that I cant use this disk to install windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    What is funny Windows 8 installing without any problem!!!
    what is going on APPLE??wher is support
    This issue I have only on Late 2013 on my other Late 2012 this issue not exist and everything working as should.

  • Cannot install Windows 8.1 on Late 2013 iMac

    Attempting to install Windows 8.1 (retail) using Boot Camp Assistant but when I get to the "Select disk to install windows" screen, nothing appears.
    I'm using a retail copy of the Windows 8.1 full installer DVD and I have the midrange 21.5" late-2013 iMac.

    Installed my retail copy of Windows 8.1 from Windows 7 without any hiccups or hacks. Windows 7 can be installed in trial mode for free and easily by downloading a legal ISO from Digital River. Create a USB installation with Boot Camp Assistant and proceed as normal using the Windows 7 ISO. During Installtion, skip entering a license. After Windows 7 is successfuly installed, boot back into OSX and create just a drivers USB using Boot Camp Assistant. Boot back into Windows, insert your retail Windows 8.1 disc or use your download and let it install. Be prepared to do several "Hold-Option" boots to kick it into windows. Installation probably had 6 reboots.

  • Cannot install Win 8 on a late 2013 iMac using bootcamp on 10.9

    I'm trying to install Win 8 on a late 2013 iMac (purchased a couple of months ago)
    I have a win 8 pro DVD, but obviously there is no DVD in this iMac. I usally use the DVD drive in my older 2009 iMac for any disk based installs but I can't appear to use it here.
    I followed the instructions and downloaded a Win 8 Pro ISO from Microsoft to use with my authentication code, created a bootable USB using bootcamp, created the partition and rebooted. Once I'd entered the code I get to the install location but it says I cannot install on the partition created by bootcamp. Even if I format the partition it says I need a GPT drive but I have MBR, so won't let me install.
    I tried several suggestions including creating aprtitions in various other programs and once I even got past that screen, but as soon as it tried to install I got another error saying the MBR was formatted incorrectly and it failed.
    I had no issues installing Win 7 via bootcamp on the older iMac, but this one has me stumped. I used to think I knew a bit about computers, but I'm fairly new to Mac related issues as the older iMac has always just worked.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    I just installed Windows 8.1 on my Late 2013.
    There are just a couple of things I had to do that deviated from the Boot Camp Installation Manual.
    1.  I downloaded my copy of Windows 8.1 as an ISO image AND as a bootable USB from the Microsoft site.
    Not sure why I did that but it came in handy because Bootcamp was taking a very long time to copy the ISO onto the USB stick..
    The ISO copying seemed to freeze up, but it's likely that it was just taking a long time, probably 20mins.
    So, instead of waiting, I took the contents of the the USB startup stick and simply moved them over to the stick that Bootcamp had formatted for the ISO copy (I cancelled that copy function and deleted any files that had copied but didnt complete).
    Once that was done, the machine rebooted from the USB stick and began the normal Windows setup process.
    All went very smoothly except that my mouse was not working.
    2.     To get around the mouse issue, I simply plugged in a MS USB Mouse and it worked immediately.
    The Bootcamp manual advised that the way around this was to 'click in upper right corner and search for Bootcamp'.   Problem was, it was nowhere to be found.
    So, using my MS mouse, I navigated to the 'DESKTOP' icon in Win 8.1 and found File Explorer, which showed my USB stick connected along with Bootcamp and the MS Support File (i.e. All the Apple Drivers).
    I began manually clicking on all the driver files until realizing that there IS a Bootcamp executable which will automatically install the drivers for the Nvidia card, keyboard, camera, mouse, etc....
    Once that was done, my installation was completed.
    The entire process took about an hour, but now that I've done it, it really shouldnt take much more than 45 mins.
    I have the late 2013 iMAC, with the GTX780M and 1TB Fusion Drive i5 Quad Core.
    For those who are leery about doing this, please note that I'm a PC 'lifer' and this is my very first go-around with doing anything on an Apple product.
    It all went much more smoothly than I could have imagined, but if you are not a PC person, you might be a little challenged finding the Bootcamp in File Explorer or doing anything in Win 8.1 to get over these minor hurdles.
    Good luck!
    I'm looking forward to getting STEAM up and running to see how this thing games!

  • Will Late 2013 iMac boot from Snow Leopard External Drive?

    Hey gang-
    Got a new late-2013 iMac for Christmas (yayyyy!!)
    I plan on running Mavericks for day-to-day use, but there are a few old Power PC apps that I occasionally need to run. Does anyone know if the new iMacs will boot from an external drive running Snow Leopard? I have an external Firewire drive with Snow Leopard on it and I'm wondering if the new iMac will boot from it if needed.
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Thanks gang.   No worries- I keep an older Intel MacBook with Snow Leopard on it and I suppose it will do in a pinch.
    Cheers!
    Dave

  • I just bought the new late 2013 iMac.  Can I get the new iWork for free?

    I just bought a new late 2013 iMac.  Can I get the new iWork for free?  I updated it to Mavericks also.  The Mac App store is showing $19.99 for each iWork component (Pages, Numbers, Keynote).  I also bought the previous iWork version, if that matters.  Free updates for iPhoto and  iMovie seemed to show up with no problems.  Maybe these are just glitches that will clear up in a couple of days?

    Hi.  If you want it to get updated, this should take care of it.
    1. Uninstall iWork from your Mac.
    2. Do a fresh install of iWork from DVD.
    3. Install iWork update from Apple Downloads (direct link here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563)
    4. Sign into the Mac App Store, and check for updates.  It should now show up as a free update.  You may have to give it a few minutes (i.e. 10-15 minutes).
    I've been a Windows user for years, so I know all of the tricks by now.  I had hoped I would not need this knowledge for a Mac, but oh well...
    Good luck.

  • More frequent Kernel Panics on late 2013 iMac

    For the last couple of weeks I have been experiencing random iMac restarts with the kernel panic message (http://core0.staticworld.net/images/article/2013/02/kernel-panic-pre-ml_300-1000 24407-medium.png). I have not installed anything suspicious, I have verified the HDD, everything is ok, done the hardware test after a restart (the D button) with no issues found and when I go to the Library, Logs there is no kernel panic report nor any other information on the issue. It seems as the aforementioned message just appears, the iMac restarts and comes back to normal without any additional problems/problem information.
    I have late 2013 iMac with os 10.10, everything up to date and fabric Ram memory with a lot of free space on the HDD.
    I would really appreciate if someone could give me some pointers or let me know what this could be. Thanks a lot!

  • Crazy to buy a maxed out late 2013 iMac now?

    Was waiting to see if there would be any update but alas, no.  Not sure I want to be an early adopter of a retina 27" iMac.  Looking at a nearly maxed out non-retina (aka late 2013) 27" iMac.  Only about $400 less than similar equipped retina model.  Am I crazy or what?   Use is just home computing and home video/photo editing.  I just looked at retina 27 in store. I can see the  difference if I try   I don't see point in waiting for next gen chips either.

    I just did something similiar.  I waited and waited for the Retina iMac to be released before I made my final iMac decision.  I was on board for even max'ing out the Retina iMac until I learned it would not support Target Display Mode.  I already own a Macbook Pro w/Retina.  And while I understand not seeing 5k each and every time, I expected (current technology limitations or not) the Target Display Mode to simply reproduce the same resolution as the Macbook Pro when connected via Thunderbolt.
    Once I learned that the Retina iMac did not work as a secondary monitor I made my Late-2013 iMac decision.  I understand where you are coming from because I had the same 'fears'.
    It kills me to not have the 5k version when it exists, but last year's version (including TDM functionality) fit my day to day needs better.

  • IBooks Author VERY slow on new, late 2013 iMac

    I have an iBook that is about 100mb that I am writing. The book is tediously slow to work on. Moving widgets around takes on inordinate amount of time and sometimes blows up the formatting of the book. On my old Mac Pro Late 2008, I never experienced this.
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.1 on a late 2013 iMac 3.5GHz Core i7, 16gb RAM, 500GB SSD.
    Has anyone else have this problem or know a solution?
    Thanks

    I'm in the same problem.
    iBooks is became unusable.
    I have published numerous ibooks, but an old update of iBooks (already with Mountain Lion, don'tv remember when), is became very very slow, with the same Mac.
    Now I have update to Mavericks (now 10.9.1) hoping to solve the problem, in vain.
    I have a MacBook pro 17" later 2011, 2,5 Ghz, Intel core i7, 16gb ram and i work only with iBooks Author and OpenOffice.
    Who can help me?
    Thanks
