IMac 27-inch, Late 2009 Freezes - OSX 10.9.5

Greetings everyone,
Since a few days ago (today is Sept, 25th 2014), after I have applied an update for Safari and iTunes, when I play World of Warcraft for a few minutes, a flick happens and only the mouse pointer moves on the screen. No keyboard response, nothing else.
I have to turn the machine off so I can try using it again.
I have read a lot about this kind of problem on forums and they seem to be either related to age or RAM (so experts recommend to clean memory slots and vacuum out the dust from the air holes to facilitate the cooling, but I haven't tried yet.
I did some search and could gather some information with EtreCheck that I hope will be of any use for those that could land me some help.
Before showing the info, please do not bother for the etc/hosts number. I have changed this list myself to avoid publicity on my machine before Adblocker was created :-D

27" iMac freezing daily (late 2009)

Been having this problem for a long time...through at least 3-4 OS versions, and prior to a recall HD replacement iirc. No apparent rhyme or reason....it just locks up, including the cursor with no warning and requires a power cycle to restart. No forewarning or apparent odd behavior (aside of a general lagginess and regular beachballs that I'm guessing is more to do with it's age than anything) The only common condition I can think of it that it's always when Safari is running and being used, but since that's pretty much always the case, I don't see it as a critical data point.
It happens roughly daily, but that's likely more based on my typical usage and would increase or decrease as such. I've seen a few similar issues posted in random searches over the years, but never a solid resolution to those cases. There is lots of log activity in the seconds prior to or during these crashes, but is sadly all Greek to me. Here is a text file of that period from today if it helps: crash0218.rtf
Spec-wise, it's a 2.8 i7, 1TB(@ prob 93% full), 8GB, ATI 4850 (512)
I keep hoping that each new OS or Safari version will magically correct it, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen, haha, so I'd appreciate any ideas or input as this is becoming really frustrating and I'd really like to get another year or so out of this machine if possible.

Thanks for the responses.
The OS is current, just an old signature.
I've definitely had TuneUp (iTunes tagging utility) a long time, but don't remember seeing weird activity from it in the past. It's a fairly new version (~3 days) so there might be some permissions issues with it or something? It wasn't running at the time, nor was iTunes.

I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini. I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.

I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini. I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.
According to Cruicial my mac mini could use:
Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
Package: 204-pin SODIMM
Feature: DDR3 PC3-8500
Specs: DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.35V • 512Meg x 64
Also According to Cruical my iMac uses:
Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
Package: 204-pin SODIMM
Feature: DDR3 PC3-12800
Specs: DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V
I want to increase the ram in both computers.
So, can I put the iMac ram in my mac mini and then I'd only have to buy ram for my iMac? Naturally the ulitmate test will be when I actually install it, but having an expectation of success or failure will allow me to plan on what to spend money on.
Thanks,
Bear

Thanks for the responses. I probably wont even try as my priority is Ram for the mac mini. 2 is not enough. 8 for my imac is okay for now.
Somewhere I thought I'd heard that faster Ram would simply clock at the lower speed. It seems that I am incorrect.
Thanks,
Bear

Is possible to connect my iMac 21.5" late 2009 as external monitor for a new 2011 Mac Mini. iMac (Mini display port) to Mac Mini (Thunderbold Port).

Sorry, but only the 27" Late 2009 and 2010 iMac's support input to there DisplayPorts and not either 21.5" model.

IMac 21.5 (late 2009 ) supports GPU Sensor Monitoring?

I've had this question up on the Intel Mac forum for a number of days now without being able to resolve this issue. I'm posting it here on the chance someone who hasn't visited that forum may come along who may be experiencing this.
I'm trying to determine if this computer doesn't support GPU monitoring for the Nvidea GeForce 9400 (I think it probably does for the ATI Radeon card), or if I have a defective sensor. I've reset the SMC to no effect and run the Hardware Test, which found no problems.
I'd really appreciate knowing if anyone who has an iMac 21.5 or 27 (late 2009, i.e. not the models just released), or any other model with this graphics chipset, and running a program that reads data from the sensors, such as Hardware Monitor (or Temperature Monitor), iStat Menus (or Pro) or anything similar, is not (or is) getting any sensor readings for the GPU.
(I've been in touch with the developer of Hardware Monitor who was not able to answer this question definitively.) Thanks.

Last try.
I'd really appreciate knowing if anyone who has a late 2009 iMac 21.5 or 27... is not (or is) getting any (temperature or load) readings for the GPU / Graphics Card (Nvidea GeForce 9400.)

IMac 27' i5 late 2009 don't boot.

My iMac 27' late 2009 don't boot, the screen become grey with only the Apple's logo.
He can boot on the USB Lion installer but not on installed system.
When I want to re-install the system, the screen become black after some minutes.
I've tried to reset the SMS, the PRAM/NVRAM, to change the HDD, to make fsck, to repair the disk with disk warrior and disk utility, to change the RAM memory...
HELP !
Max.
PS : I've made an AHT but all is OK.

Well, during the past weekend, the possibility that the bug maybe caused by Firewire devices is dramatically increased. If it's true, the problem effect Snow Leopard in general and not only the iMac.
Yesterday I connect my MacBookPro 2.2 (3GB RAM 10.6.2) to the external devices (one Packard Bell 250GB FW-400 connected to one Lacie 1TB FW-800) because I had to move several files from one disk to the other (procedure that I've started with the iMac and never completed).... well the 4 year old MBP that never had a problem, crashed completely three times!! :O
The first time the spinning ball appeared (same bug behavior as on the iMac), the second time the mouse stopped to move and the last one (I had the screen dimmed) the screen remained black.
I'm really starting to think that something at kernel level that handle firewire devices has some severe issues if some particular conditions happens.

Windows 7 OK on Imac 27-inch (late 2009) but NO sound

I managed to successfully install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit using boot camp through the drivers download (late 2009 imac 27inch drivers) from a USB drive. HOWEVER there is NO sound at all. When using MACOSX on the same machine, all is OK. According to Windows, drivers are OK.
Have installed relative Realtek drivers to no avail. Some say Cirrus logic are OK, but cannot find them.
1. where in the Apple "late 2009 imac 27inch drivers" files are the sound drivers ?
2. which drivers do I need considering apple does not indicate manufacturer of sound card ?

iMacs do not use standard graphcis cards as used in typical tower computers. They use a special version that is a very strange-looking bit of kit:
You must replace it in kind with one intended for the same iMac model, and those are not sold as after-market parts. There are some out there that are used/pulled, but the switch-out requires a very tedious teardown to accomplish.

IPad 2 can't pair with iMac wireless Keyboard (late 2009)

ipad 2 will not pair with wireless keyboard that came with iMac late 2009.
I've read countless ways to do this in support forums, but no matter what I do, I can not get the ipad 2 to work with my wireless keyboard.
In settings>bluetooth, I UNCHECKED discoverable for the keyboard, as I've read many times.
I then clicked the minus button and a box came up ( I can not recall what it said but it basically asked if I wanted to ?remove? the device, and I clicked OK.
Then, I went to the iPad 2, into bluetooth, and went to pair it. The keyboard was discoverable, and then something with a code came up on the iPad screen, and I clicked OK.
NOTHING happened, even though it said it was connected.
I looked at my iMac screen, and there was something there with a code that had to be typed in? This is where I get confused. I disconnected the keyboard, yet I got a box on the iMac screen, asking me to put the code in to pair it with the ipad 2 ! I figured it must be a mistake, because I disconnected the keyboard from the imac.
well, I tried to key in the code and it worked on the IMAC...which, technically, it should not have been able to do.
I've watched countless Youtube videos, read through the support forums here and...I can't find anyone with this same problem and so, I toss it out to you all in Apple Support.
What could I be doing wrong??
Thanks.

Spoke with an Apple Care Tech today on this issue:
Apparently, this is how it works : First, you have to go to BLUE TOOTH and when you see your keyboard, delete it or remove it, and then shut down the computer.
Then, you must go to your iPAD. (initially, your blue tooth on iPAD should be TURNED OFF- now, turn it ON.
Press and hold the button on the right side of your keyboard for 5 seconds, and watch for it to blink then go off.
Next, push the button on the side of the keyboard again, it will go on.
On your ipad, under Blue Tooth, you will see some numbers and it might say NOT CONNECTED. Click that.
Be patient and then under that, something like YOUR NAME KEYBOARD will appear. Click it and it will give you a code to type in. Type it in. Be patient. Might not take the first time. Do it again. When the code comes up again, type it in again.
This worked for me as suddenly the keyboard was paired with the iPAD 2.
When you want to unpair it, turn blue tooth on the ipad OFF. Turn your computer back on. Initially your screen will come up to sign in (if you have it set up that way). In a few seconds, you will see that your keyboard has reconnected to your Mac. Sign in and that's that:)

Yesterday I installed "Mavericks" on my two identical machines (office and home, iMac i5 27'' late 2009) and now the cursor freezes for a few seconds after quitting an application on one machine and the the track pad stucks with safari - unsatisfying!

Even the back and forward buttons do not work than. Allover the complete installation process went different on both machines. One started the installation twice immediately after completion. I dont know what's wrong, I never have had such a trouble with Mac OS. I can't help myselfe an I am highly disappointed about Apple!

After a few Google searches and a few downcasted days, I had to realize that I have to apologize to Apple, it was seemingly not alone their fault.
All trouble makers to Mavericks are accumulated in my environment:
External WD hard drives get in conflict with the nem Mavericks OS X, as well as drivers software from Logitech (LCC), which all is in use with my system.
Delete the WD software of external hard discs and uninstall (use uninstaller) the Logitech control center (LCC) and all is fine again.
Have fun with Mavericks, a just started to love it....

I have an iMac 21.5 late 2009, the hard drive has failed.

Instead of spending £200 replacing the internal hard drive, is it possible to run Lion off an external firewire 800 hard drive. If so, what are the negatives. The employee at western computers told me that it will run slower than it would with an internal hard drive, and I don't want that. So I would like to know what the implications of using a firewire 800 external hard drive to run my OSX from.

You can take your machine to other AASP's for cost estimates if you are not happy with the one you recieved. However the answer to your question is yes you can install Lion on an external HD. The downside will be speed because FW800 isn't as fast as SATA. In short you were being told the truth. I'd recommend two things, get the internal HD replaced and next time purchase AppleCare to protect your investment. Had you done this the cost of AppleCare would have more than paid for itself and you would have a new HD installed by now. AppleCare will extend the warranty to 3 years and also include 3 years of telephone support. You can buy AppleCare within the first year of ownership of a new Mac, currently you can find it on Amazon for as low as $125USD and yes it's an international warranty.

Upgrade iMac 21'5 (late 2009) HD to SSD

Is it possible, and how?

Here's a tutorial: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+iMac+SSD/8905/1
But I can't see what iMac (model) it is.
Anybody knows?

how to connect apple tv in my imac

Following the instructions that came with your AppleTV is a good place to start. If you cannot figure that out there is a forum for the AppleTV, you can find it at:

Loud fan imac 27'' i7 late 2009

Usually at startup the ODD fan is at 0 rpm and another fan runs full force for a few minutes. Then the ODD fan goes to 1000 rpm and the computer is quiet again. It usually takes about 3-6 mintues for this to happen. It usually stays quiet the remainder of the time it's on at this point. Sometimes the fan will kick on and the ODD rpm drops to 0 again. All temperature readings appear to be normal. This problem is recent within the past month or so. Is this normal? What causes this?

Ok tried safe-boot, no luck, re-tried command-alt-P-R and pressing power button for 5s with mains cable off, no funny processes going one, no drives or anything connected, no luck, it confirms my view that this as the person above me mentions started a couple of weeks ago, same with my story really, and it is related to some apple code in those recent updates. Needs fixing, otherwise what is the point of not having an energy efficient machine...doesn't it go below the standards of Apple and saving this world from extreme warming?
Unless anyone has a real solution, a tried and tested one, this should be looked up by Apple, unless they're really busy now with Lion and the new iphone 4.
Thanks
