Why no airplay mirroring for imac late 2009

Just upgrade to find the key feature Airplay Mirroring is not supported for my iMac late 2009. WHY??

Only some 2011 machines and newer are supported (excluding any Mac Pros).
The best theory is to do with onboard h264 encoding in Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge Intel chips:

It seems likely that Apple feel a software only solution would not be feasible/acceptable on earlier models though Airparrot puts that in doubt.

Disk 2 of the original disks that came with the computer?
Call Apple, give them your computer serial number, and they will ship you disks for a small charge if disks are available. Go to the Apple Store for your country, then to the bottom of the page//Contact Us for the correct telephone number.
If that isn't what you ant, can you provide more information?

Mountain Lion for iMac Late 2009

Is Airplay the only feature that wont work on the older Macs? I don't use Airplay with My iMac (Late 2009) so it's no big deal, its all I hear people complaining about except that it slows down their computers. Is this an older version issue too (speed)?
I like all of the other features, if Airplay is the only thing that won't work then I'm going to download but if there are other issues with older version computers I would like to know. Thanks

Primarily yes. Mt. Lion is like ANY OS X upgrade. Prior to upgrading your system it should be operating perfectly, if it isn't address your problems first or your upgrade could be a disaster. Check to see your apps and peripherals are compatible and then if everything is OK you can proceed. Before beginning your download BACKUP!!!! It's wise to have a minimum of 1 backup but when it comes to backup redundancy is a very good thing.

HT201335 on macbook pro os x v10.8.3 why does AirPlay Mirroring for ATV shut off by itself? Can the time be adjusted?

AirPlay Mirroring foe ATV shuts off automatically when using my MBP OS X v10.8.3. Is there a setting that allows choices for the length of time before the shut off occurs?

Can I use my 27"iMac late 2009 as an external display for a non apple product such as a cable box?

To get TV on your iMac off the cable box you would need to use an external TV tuner device such as the company ElGato is highly regarded for. I have used one of their EyeTV products for many years with my iMac to watch television shows from my Comcasst cable TV box. You can look at the models here:

where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

Depends on the original drive. According to OWC, at least last time I checked some months ago, any current WD drive they sell (up to 2 TB?) will be able to be swapped directly. I am unable to confirm this personally. But, even so, that was a while back. You should check with them again on this. As for Seagates, that might not be so simple.
This is the original article on this from them.

If you find a drive that OWC sells and is certain will swap in directly, you can see if newegg.com has it for less.
This one that OWC sells will swap in directly, according to them.

Can I use 27' iMac(Later 2009) as a display for Mac Pro(future 2013)?

Can I use 27' iMac(Later 2009) as a display for Mac Pro(future 2013)?

See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
To be able to use the iMac as an external display, the Mac Pro should come with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port, so think that it will include Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt, although we don't know anything.
To connect the iMac to the Mac Pro, as your iMac has got a Mini DisplayPort, you have to use a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable (Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort cables, but Mini DisplayPort isn't compatible with Thunderbolt cables). Then, just follow the steps of the page above to use the iMac as an external display

How to install windows 7 on Imac late 2009 using Vmware/Vbox

Hey guys. Here's the thing. I've installed Windows 8 on my imac late 2009 but then i realized that there's no bootcamp drivers for it (check image).
everything works fine except for the video drivers that crash everytime when i install any driver (bootcamp or manually).
So I've searched on many forums n i found a guy that could do that by using Vmware/Virtualbox by accessing the full disk n installing it from there.
Here's what we wrote -> (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1526883)
"Thanks for the suggestions, but installing from usb wasn't working, and refit didn't recognise the external dvd drive too (it was in the list, but when i tried to load it i got an error).
But i found a solution, not usual procedure but still good and easy to do.
I installed virtualbox, created a virtual machine with the full disk access (you'll have to unmount all the partitions first and run virtualbox as root), started installing windows, when the copy of the files ended and the vm was rebooting i simply closed it and rebooted my imac and finished the installation directly on the imac, everything went well...
Thanks again for the help"
Important notes :
- My superdrive is broken
- I can't boot efi windows 7 (cause it needs efi 2.0)
So i might ask u 2 things..
1- Is there a way that i can install all those drivers on windows 8.
2- Can u describe how he did that with Vmware/Virtualbox?

I can't. Just like i said. My superdrive is broken so the only way is to boot from usb but my imac's efi firmware is 1.0 and to boot a windows 7 efi you must have at least efi firmware 2.0. I managed to install windows 8 cause it needed efi firmware 1.0 that's why.

IMac late 2009 gives beach ball. All test return normal.

I have an iMac late 2009 model 27 inch. update to Mavericks (10.9.1)
Returning from holiday, I found my iMac dead slow, with spinng beach balls on every click. Until now I have done ....
Create new user account, logged in as this new user.
reset PRAM / NVRAM
boot up in safe mode
boot up in recovery mode, perform disk test. (all normal)
I managed to copy the most important directories to an external storage. Got more and more read/write errors.
iMac had become unusable slow.
Made bootable USB stick, used this to boot and did a complete HD erase.
Clean installed Maverick.
Problem still persist.
Performed AHT (Apple Hardware Test) in extented mode. No error founds.
Performed Black Magic Disktest, around 110 MB/s seems normal speed.
After reboot, the first application start up fast (which gives me hope) but starting the second app, takes several minutes with this spinning beach ball.
Anyone here having simular problems or otherwise can point me to a solution?

Thanks for you advise. I did a clean install, so without any third party software like Trusteer Rapport.
On you advice I ran EtreCheck. This is the result:

Constant Disconnection from Airport Extreme Networked iMac (late 2009)

I keep trying to copy fairly large files (2-7GB) over my Aiport Extreme (latest—5th generation) network from a early 2011 Macbook Pro to a 27" iMac (late 2009), and I keep getting disconnected from the iMac while the file is copying. I've tried repairing permissions on every computer in the house and restarting them, but I'm still having issues. I have no issues copying files to another late 2011 Macbook Pro in the house, so it seems to be happening only when I copy them to the iMac. The iMac is running Snow Leopard and the Macbook Pros are running Lion, so could that have something to do with it?
Additionally, I had been trying a wireless extended network with another previous generation Airport Extreme, but I found the connection wasn't much stronger with the extension, so I've just been leaving the second Airport Extreme unplugged. I've had that unplugged for months and haven't had any issues, so I don't think that's the problem.
I'm hoping this isn't a sign of something being wrong with the Aiport card in the iMac. Anyone have any ideas?

Bump?

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues. I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.
I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?

Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
Good luck!

Can I factory restore an IMAC Late 2009 without the orginal DVD's?

Can I factory restore an IMAC Late 2009 without the orginal DVD's? I was given a computer and want to remove the previous owners user login and passwords. I want a fresh install like it was bought new.

You can create a new Admin User in System Preferences then delete the current User. This will give you a clean User but the base system files might have extensions etc installed.
If you upgrade to Mavericks, then you would wipe the computer giving you exactly what you want.
While your computer might meet the requirements, also check your applications for Mavericks compatibility here: http://roaringapps.com/
Make sure all your software like Microsoft Office and Adobe CS Suites is compatible with Mavericks.
OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
          ▪          iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
          ▪          MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
          ▪          MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
          ▪          MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
          ▪          MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
          ▪          Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
          ▪          Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
          ▪          Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
          ▪          OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
          ▪          2 GB or more of memory <--- I suggest 4GB as minimum
          ▪          8 GB or more of available space

IMac Late 2009 i7-2.8Ghz Poor Performance

My iMac Late 2009 seems to run very slowly after a clean install of OSX Mavericks. I am not sure that happened after the clean install. But now i have noticed it.
I am using mainly photoshop. Everything is sluggish. Moving or resizing layers.
Generally it runs very slow with everything.
The surprising fact is after i ran GeekBench.
The average score for 32-bit test is about 2000 for single-core and 7000 in multi-core
My results are: 700 for single-core and 3000 in multi-core.
Few users seem to have about the same results as me..
My specs are:
Late 2009 iMac
intel i7 2.8Ghz
12GB of Ram
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB with trim enabled (i upgraded my ssd after my old corsair 90GB ssd broke!!!)
OSX Mavericks 10.9.3
You can see all the iMac Late 2009 i7 2.8Ghz results here.

Do you have any suggestions?
it drive me crazy!!
I am considering a clean install but i want to wait for the Yosemite release.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
Paste into the window of another application.
Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Format iMac - Late 2009

I want to format my iMac (Late 2009) and i am now on Yosemite 10.10.1
and originally my iMac came with Snow Leopard ...
The original DVD for OS X installation doesn't work in the DVD drive in the iMac, each time i load it in , it makes some sounds and then ejected automatically.
i Copied the content of this DVD on an external Flash drive and external HDD as well but it couldnt work.
Any idea how to force format it ?
and also am i able to install the Yosemite directly after formatting it or i have to install several OS X in sequence starting with Snow Leopard till i reach Yosemite ?
Thank you very much for your time.

Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.
