    iM 4,1-14,4 Questions about Unsupported Patches

    I have two Early Intel iMacs which are currently just updated to the newest officially supported macOS versions. I would be interested in upgrading them to unsupported versions, as long as I would not need to make any hardware modifications and they could run reasonably well (without too much...

    I am trying to figure out why my iMac G3 won't boot. The component I am currently suspicious of is the transformer on the pictures. From the 4 wires in to the 9 wires out it seems to have two primary windings, and then 4 secondary windings + a center tab. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm a...

    Help with early 2008 Imac screen!!!!.

    Hi all. I was recently given an early 2008 iMac that has a problem with either the screen or the graphics card, because although the mouse pointer is visible, it is almost imperceptible. I wanted to know if you can think of what it could be. It is obvious that the problem is one of the two. I...

    What does a link look like?

    Good morning friends. Would someone please give me an idea of what a "link" looks like? I am fairly new to all of this, and am just now getting used to how the "internet" works. Thank you in advance.

    I cannot believe there's no way to use a 27" 2015 iMac as a second display

    It just seems totally INSANE that there's no way to use an iMac 27" 2015 as a display without hardware hacks. In 2025. I don't need high FPS or anything. I mean, the iMac and the MacBook are on the same network, surely there is some solution which works over the local network.

I know about the mounting frame, just asking about the SATA connector/interface itself. Alternately, does this model allow booting from the SATA port the SuperDrive is...

    Glacially slow old iMac; I've run out of ideas

    I have a Late 2014 27" Retina iMac. It's semi-retired (replaced by new Macs for everyday use) but still used periodically for various tasks. Last week, without warning, it started to run unusably slowly. Rebooting didn't help; booting in Recovery and running Disk Utility didn't help (no...
