Wireless Ant. Late 2009 cable end piece broken - where to buy?

My Mac Mini 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo Late 2009 wireless antenna cable came loose. I've removed the AirPort/Bluetooth board from inside and noticed that the end connector that snaps onto the board for the large antenna (Rt side I think) won't stay. Removing the other two antennas, I can see that the antenna that won't stay connected appears to be slightly bent. I've looked at the other 2 antennas and they are fine and stay secure on the card.
I need to replace the antenna. Where can I find parts for this? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks,
Jeff

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:)

Mac Mini (late 2009) won't connect to wireless internet

The strangest thing happened to me just recently, a conflicting IP address appeared on my Mac Mini (late 2009) a few days ago. This IP was from one of my other computers. After this other computer had been shut down ever since, I keep on getting theses window messages saying "There is a conflicting IP tommiller". I decided to restart my Mac mini only a few hours ago. I returned and the message stopped appearing, but now I can't connect to my wireless Internet. An exclamation mark appears over the airport icon in the menu bar. I took forth all the steps to restart my wireless router, but nothing worked. The wireless works fine on all my devices except the Mac mini. What really freaked me out is that I have a portable Verzion MIFI, and my Mac Mini can't even connect to that. I'm very knowledgeable with Macs, but I've never had this happen to me before. My worst nightmare would be that the wireless card is shot. If anyone has the answer to end my stressful night, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tom Miller

Log onto your router and see what IP address are being used.
Then try setting a fixed IP address well away from any of those, using Network settings in system preferences. See if that solves the problem.

I have a macbook 13" late 2009 and would like to connect my TV to macbook to view video with sound. What cable do I need to mack work?

I have a macbook 13" late 2009 operating system OS10.9.2.
I would like to connect my macbook to my TV . I have connected a mini DVI / HDMI cable to my tv which works for the picture but have no sound.
How do I get the sound to work?
Thanks

When you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. But check your TV manual to see if it has audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

HT3924 Can I use my 27"iMac late 2009 as an external display for a non apple product such as a cable box?

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:

I have a MacBook 13-inch, Late 2009, I'd like to get a cable to connect a monitor. However I keep order the wrong part. Can somebody tell me what part I need.

I have a MacBook 13-inch, Late 2009, I'd like to get a cable to connect a monitor. However I keep order the wrong part. Can somebody tell me what part I need.

The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

My Late 2009 Model 10,1 running 10.8.5 frequently acts as though I have pushed the F11 button, but I haven't. The cables are not loose. Gently touching the mouse will get the screen back, but often it immediately goes to the F11 mode.

I called Apple. The problem was caused by settings in Mission Control. After changing all 4 of the Hot Keys (if that's the proper term) shown in the bottom half of the Mission Control window in System Preferences to "-" by clicking on the drop down menus, the problem went away. Apple's help was excellent!

Late 2009 iMac Wireless Card Issues

I own a late 2009 iMac. I have been having issues with my wireless card for several years now and have been able to make do with our router being in the same room with our computer. We moved recently and now my iMac is not in the same room as the wireless router. Can some please help me fix or confirm if I need a new wireless card?
My computer shows that there is a wireless card, but the card does not see any networks. I have (on occasion) gotten the card to see the other networks available around us (as well as my own) and to even get it to hook up, but it is short lived. Sometimes the computer locks up altogether.
Can someone help me determine if this is fixable or if I need to replace the card? If I have to replace the card can I purchase one from Apple and do the install myself?
Thanks!
Mike

BDAqua,
Sorry, did not even realise that I had not updated the list. I am running the latest version on the iMac which is 10.7.5.... And you could copy and paste the link into your browser...
Cheers for the response bud...

Frequent and chronic Slowness on Late 2009 21.5" iMac, Issues with Display, Fan, and Booting

Hello,
Sorry for the repost, but I realized after the edit period had passed that I left out a lot of information from my original post, and that I misrepresented my problem in the question heading. Because of this, I am posting again with the updated information.
I am using a 21.5" iMac from Late 2009 with OSX Mavericks 10.9.2. Recently, I have been experiencing several signs of failure/aging during use:
Frequent:
Mail.app slow opening, closing; messages opened in large batches do not get marked as read
Terminal.app experiences noticeable lag when opening (it sometimes takes between 5 and 20 seconds between launching the application and getting an active prompt)
Processes lag or become unresponsive, even when not many applications are running
Browswers frequently become unresponsive, pinwheel, or lag considerably, frequently requiring a force-quit.
Mouse Pinwheels Frequently
Intermittent
Computer generates loudly audible fan noises, persists even when computer is briefly powered off during a reboot; does not always stop after rebooting
Finder often becomes unresponsive
Rare (one time only)
Machine powered on in "Safe Boot" mode for no apparant reason; red text reading "Safe Boot" in menu bar of login screen; background picture slideshow mode became very glitchy, phased and flashed in horizontal grey bars before loading next background image
Chronic (Consistently Happens)
Machine will not boot if plugged into normal powerpoint after being unplugged from that power-point; cable must be plugged into a different A/C power outlet for machine to boot, at which point it can be switched off again, moved back to the original dedicated outlet, and booted again. This has never failed to happen, and is mind-boggling.
I followed some instructions from a similar thread, but I felt that my experiences were sufficiently different that I couldn't troubleshoot from someone else's solution. I would greatly appreciate any technical advice and help that the community can offer.

1: If I hold down option key with my USB plugged in to see my hard drives so I can boot into Windows, boot camp is not there. It does not show up on my Start Up Disk in my Mac, either. Though, I do see it in Finder with nothing in it (I can put stuff into it).
This indicates that your Bootcamp partition is still FAT, which also indicates that the Windows Installer has not been used to reformat it to NTFS yet, as required by Windows Installer. No Windows installation exists yet.
2: If I don't hold down option key with my USB plugged in, it gives me a black screen saying "Non-system disk, press any key to reboot". My keyboard is unresponsive. I have to hard shut down my computer.
The NVRAM in the Mac (as set by Bootcamp Assistant) is telling it to boot from the built-in Optical drive. Is it fully functional and has Windows Installer media in it or broken? Since no drivers have been loaded, the Keyboard/Mouse which are BT/USB, will not function.
From iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009) - Technical Specifications, it has a built-in Optical drive...
Optical drive
Slot-loading 8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Writes DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL discs at up to 4x speed
Writes DVD-R and DVD+R discs at up to 8x speed
Writes DVD-RW discs at up to 6x speed and DVD+RW discs at up to 8x speed
Reads DVDs at up to 8x speed
Writes CD-R discs at up to 24x speed
Writes CD-RW discs at up to 16x speed
Reads CDs at up to 24x speed
3: If I don't hold down option key and it is without my USB plugged in, it gives me a black screen saying "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". My keyboard is, again, unresponsive. I have to hard shut down my computer.
No bootable media in Optical drive, hence this error.

IMac (late 2009) CPU runs very slow (about half speed)

After having had troubles with performance I 've recently discovered, that Geekbench as well as Xbench return results way too low for my machine. In fact it appears results are exactly half the speed one would expect. In Xbench CPU power is about a score of 110 where I had 220 with 10.6 for example.
Now I had done an SSD update a couple of month back and this speed gain probably masked the CPU problem. I might even have damaged the small monitor synch cable during the procedure but all hardware tests (TechTool Pro 6 for example) show no problems.
I've tried resetting PRAM and SMC but to no avail. Also booting into SAVE Mode did not change the behavior. Here is my etre check profile:

Somebody posted a very similar problem, resetting SMC helped there. Running Bench I can see normal degradation when running other tasks (i.e. from 110 CPU which is max of what I can get at the moment to 80-90 when running other apps) So it really seems to be some preset which keeps the CPU from running both cores or such.

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.

Late 2009 21.5 Inch iMac not updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.4

I recently took my Late 2009 21.5-inch iMac (1TB HD) to the Apple Store to get it fixed due to a hard drive crash. I got the hard drive replaced and I thought everything was back to normal. Today, I saw Apple had released a beta for FaceTime on the Mac. I downloaded this, started to install it, and it told me I was missing a critical security patch (2010-005). I ran software update, and it said all my software was up to date, so I went to apple.com and downloaded it directly. It started to install and when I got to the hard disk destination, it told me that my hard drive (Macintosh HD) doesn't meet the system requirements. Well, I looked up the requirements, and the only requirement was Snow Leopard 10.6.4. I went into about my mac from the Apple menu and saw that I was running 10.6.3. This confused me further because I had run software update, and I suspected software update would catch an OS update. Anyway, I went to apple.com to download Snow Leopard 10.6.4 directly since software update didn't catch it. I choose the combo pack first, and I didn't have any luck installing it. It did the exact same thing the security update did. I got to the hard disk destination, and it told me the volume didn't meet the requirements. I then tried the regular update and got the same results. Starting to get confused, I checked what the requirements were for Snow Leopard 10.6.4. The only requirement was to have Snow Leopard 10.6.3. This is where I don't understand what's happening. I am already running 10.6.3. Since that was the only requirement, shouldn't I be able to install it? Please help me out. I'm SUPER confused. Oh and sorry if I'm rambling a little. I'm trying to be as descriptive as possible to get this fixed. Thanks in advance.

Alright. I finally got 10.6.4 installed. I ended up reinstalling Snow Leopard from the install disk like originally planned. The problem was that when Apple replaced my hard drive, they preinstalled a Mac Mini version of Snow Leopard on to it which was up to date for that piece of hardware and is why software update didn't catch the update. However, since I have an iMac, it got confused because it was running a Mac Mini version of OS X, thus not letting me install 10.6.4. After I wiped the drive and installed from the disk, I ran software update, and, sure enough, the 10.6.4 update was there. I thought I would just share my findings for everyone out there with the same problem. And thank you baltwo for all of your help. I appreciate it.

Late 2009 iMac 27" as display for gaming desktop?

I'm looking at buying a gaming desktop with a high end graphics card. I know that the late 2009 imac can use the "mini-displayport" to be used as a monitor for the pc, but the graphics card on my desktop will only have a "displayport." The card comes with a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable, which would allow them to connect, but will it be compatible for Target Display mode? Some people have reported success online, but i could be missing information.

Hello CDeuschel,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924
Can I use the iMac in TDM as a display for my gaming console, DVD player, or other device?
The Mini DisplayPort port on a supported iMac can receive DisplayPort compliant video and audio signals. Converters not made by Apple may provide options to convert other electrical, video, and audio protocols to Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt compliant signals.
Best of luck,
Mario

Ethernet Adapter no working after Security Update 2015-00Sec2 for OS X 10.10.2 on iMac 27in, Late 2009

After applying Security Update 2015-002 on my iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) [Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory: 12GB],
I no longer can connect to my home network using the Ethernet adapter. Wifi works.
I have checked the ethernet cable and it seems just fine.
I have tried deleted all the Wi-Fi and Ethernet entries; clicked Apply and then shutdown the iMac. Then I restarted the iMac and added the Ethernet with same results shown above. Then I added the Wi-Fi and it came right up.
I am going to try and reset the System Management Controller next. Failing that I may just roll back using Time Machine to just before I applied the Security Update.
I have read a lot of post with respect to Wi-Fi issues but one a handful that were close to mine.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Alex

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:
