It’s a novelty, a nice collectors item, I’ve just put my iMac into the attic, retiring my MacBook Pro 2017, and taking delivery of a 16” Macbook Pro. The old iMac has 24GB ram, an i7 processor, an SSD, and yes it’s fine for net browsing etc, but painfully slow in Photoshop, is OCLP really secure? Thoroughly enjoyed your video, interesting, filled with detail, thanks.
Great machines and thank you for your comment and support my friend. 🙏 I've done over 100 macs with OCLP and I've never had any security issues or scares. Sure the older they are the less chance Maps, AppStore and AirDrop will work and work properly and you're right about Photoshop but overall, OCLP is evolving these days. You can set it so that you are getting all the current apple security updates and they are downloaded and applied automatically. Right now OCLP 1.4.3 on Sonoma 14.4.1 is a masterpiece and turned out flawless on a 2017 iMac and 2015 MBP I did in the last two days. Both getting security updates with no issues. Chrome or Firefox with AdBlock Plus and Avira Browser Safety plugins will serve anyone well in 2024 Mac or PC. 🙏🙏
I am working to restore a glass broken 27 inch 2009 Imac. My girlfriend broke the screen but it works but I think the broken glass is causing issues. I bought the new glass & its odd that it will run UA-cam fine but can't access the weather channel which is as far as I can get until I buy a new internal ssd and get it repaired.
I've always been a fan of Logitech products. This one is a combo set that will support up to 3 devices and what I like is that the keyboard AND mouse that it comes with are both high quality. Sometimes on their combo sets one will be good while the other will be lacking. Let me know what you think and hopefully this helps. 🙏 amzn.to/3J1KUWE
I have an old 2010 27'' and want to upgrade to SSD and full RAM 32Gb; but I usea as all, design, social media, entertainment... and sadly I can't run Apple TV+, I think it`s problem with my GPU that it´s not metal capable. I have and AMD Radeon HD 5750 1Gb, did you test Apple TV with OCLP; by now I have Big Sur on the HDD as a test... I'm thinkin to try Monterrey even Catalina see if Apple TV works... can you tell me something about it. Have a nice day bro. Keep growing.
The Mac OS on this imac is becoming end of life, this means my browser is stopped upgrading , which one day sooner or later, I will be forced by some major websites to upgrade my browser. And that means , either I have to switch to another browser , or have to give up the computer ....... Starting now, I already experience that GMail does not load with my chrome broswer anylonger, it just wait to load webapp all the time , and then go time out. I tried OpenCore , but it can not support to upgrade this imac 2009 . So , eventhough it works as a computer , but when it starts to connect to internet, you will find it starts to have irritating problems here and there. Sooner or later, you will want to get away from that lovely imac, and get to a newer one. And THAT IS BY DESIGN ..... Apple knows the pain , the industry knows, and they are happy to get user to move on using new tech one way or another.
Hi, I am planning to buy used 2010 iMac 27 inch model (i7-870, 16 GB RAM, 240 GB SSD, ATI Radeon with 1 GB VRAM) for 100 €, but I read somewhere that I might encounter few problems while web browsing, as most of websites will not be working / opening in older versions of Web browser. Is that true?
i know this is unrelated but give the Quran a read, also very insightful video man, ive had a powerpc g4 mac when i was a kid and i lost it and man nostalgia hit hard and now im looking for something that can run that old mac os x tiger and leopard and make me feel how i felt the 1st time booting up that g4
Hey bro can i get your email id i have some questions regarding 2009 imac 27 inch as my imac is not good at working so i want to share details so you can give solution.
I have the 27 inch imac 2010 with 1tb I installed the oclp with the macOS Sonoma and it works perfectly
Running a 2011 iMac and getting it from 4gb to 20gb or ram woke it up QUICK! The SSD is going to be interesting to change out

Earlier than 2012 typically has challenges.
Was the total 8GB sufficient? Wondering to have this with garageband.
Still having my late 2008 on El Capitan, can we upgrade any further???
Try OCLP..... I have the same w/ ventura os on it... Though have to upgrade the hdd to ssd
Wats the upper limit? Can you put 64gb ram in it or even 128gb ram?
I have this exact scenario. Can you recommend a service who might take care of this for me???
Probably not economical the moment you have to pay someone to do this.
