My Wife has the same year & model. She’s never updated it & it’s been the best Computer we’ve had. I cannot remember how many laptops & desktops we’ve gone through & this 2009 IMac is still kicking hard!!
I absolutely love your videos, Ken. You're an amazing dude, and your knowledge and "misadventures" keep me enterained, and informed at the same time. I know a LOT about Windows, probably more than I should. I know Linux more than I should. I was just given a 2017 iMac Pro, which arrives on Tuesday or sooner (it's 9/10/22 as I type this), and I came STRAIGHT to your channel in preparation for the awesome machine that I was just blessed with! I've been rocking a 14 year old Asus "frankenbuild", which is on its' last leg, and I'm SICK of microsoft's bull crap! Your videos are "le helping" more than you know! Thank you!!!!!!! (this will probably be my last post from this ancient dinosaur, as I don't have another machine as of now)
I upgraded to El Capitan on my early 2015 Macbook Pro when it came out, I burnt 40% of my battery in an hour while working in Pages. The thing was I was at uni then and one of the main reasons I bought a Macbook was for the 10 hours battery life. Also, if Pages burnt through so much battery in such a short period of time, imagine what heavy-duty programs like Avid Pro Tools (which I used on a regular basis) would do. Safe to say, I downgraded within an hour of upgrading and Time Machine became my best friend.

Hi Ken, Thanks for sharing! , after seen 10's of videos and nothing worked so far for my old Mac Mini 2009+this really help me a lot , still struggling to create a new drive without a second mac , but ill figure it out. some features like apps Store not even working , but i will see !
Found my 11-2007 2.0 ghz. iMac 20" all boxed up for the scavengers... By the curb around the corner Mid July... Ws ditched because the owner/user let the batteries corrode in the BT keyboard and mouse. They never FOUND the USB Mouse, Keyboard and remote STILL packed in the styrofoam... Untouched Unused Unloved... OEM Apple box wrapped in unopened Delta Airlines shipping tape Mid-2008 shipping labels.... Came with only 1GB RAM And 10.5 Leopard on the 250GB HDD. Not enough RAM for 10.10 Yosemite I put in 4GB RAM from a dead 2008 MBP 15" Cloned my Late 2009 Mac Mini 2.53 ghz. HDD to one partition 10.10 10.6 SL to another.... PERFECT! I've found Apple and Pee Cee laptops in our alley. Used to fix other such machines found on eBay... CHEAP! Treasures 'N Trash! Wine living on a (bottled) water budget..... Only way on SSDI/SSA.... J.C.
No that's hardware... Have you ever tried running Vista on say an XP machine? How about Windows 10 on a 98 machine? Yeah sure it might get on there but is it any good? No, it isn't because the hardware can't keep up. Planned obsolescence is similar to what conspiracy theorist experience, you may believe they are purposefully slowing your software down but you simply do not understand how software works.
Uh... Planned obsolescence doesn't even have a single thing about software... it's about hardware. The hardware should fail after a while or is under powered intentionally and that's planned obsolescence, not software struggling to keep up with hardware that was good for its time.
Theironsword it can refer to both... “Software companies sometimes deliberately drop support for older technologies as a calculated attempt to force users to purchase new products to replace those made obsolete.”
Thanks for sharing I have the early 2009 iMac with snow Leopard installed from disc but I can’t excess the apple store or UA-cam or Google because I need to install El Capitan as it said I need to update the browsers it’s a 3.06 Processor core 2 Duo i7.
7:23 and yet... My late 2009 MacBook, which apple supported for longer because of schools using a lot of them, when i put High Sierra on it, it doesn’t lag!
My father just gifted me one of these imacs because it had a shot drive! Not too hard to replace and it has already been specd out with 12g of ram. Total $50 score
I remember my first Mac, OS X Mountain Lion looked so sleek coming from Windows 7 on the brand-new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Can't say I like the new MacOS GUI more than that one, but there are some parts of the new one I like more and some I don't
In case anyone else stumbles on this a year later... the reason the late 2009 macs go for so cheap is that Apple used a very specific harddrive model, and imposed it on all future upgrades. The cost of a kit to install an SSD, for example, is over $50. We've got one and I wouldn't pay even $100 for it, and I wouldn't have last year either.
I feel your pain, sort of. I had to replace the HDD in my HP all in one back in October. The hardware part was embarrassingly simple, and quick.... The OS replacement? Not so much... it seems the BRAND NEW flash drive I had burned the recovery media on was....corrupted, sigh. Had to get a friend who happened to be a tech at the local Staples help me find ,and install the recovery media. He actually asked me if I wanted the flash drive back! I suggested destroying it with fire. I still won’t touch that brand of flash drive.....
We had this model in high school it comes with snow leopard but was upgraded in 2013 to mountain lion and were then relocated to the library because they bought the new models for the computing lab
i paid 150 for my early 2008 iMac 20 inch with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and a ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB with a terabyte hard rive
you couldve reset the password from an os 10.6 snowleopard install. cuz theres a tool on the install that you can run to change your password or remove it. its in the utilities menu just like disk utility
The backslashes don’t indicate a space, they are the “escape character” telling it not to interpret them as spaces ending the filename, but spaces within the filename
when i reboot and plug in my hard drive nothing pops up, no yellow no hard drive. also my keybord isnt apple so pressing alt isnt working like ive seen prior. ANY HELP
TheEpicBlueJayGamer19 there's no way. The 2006 Macs ran nothing above 10.6.8 which is Snow Leopard and I know this bc I just got rid of a 2006 MacBook and it never even ran lion. I tried. Didn't work.

question, I have no money for a mac. I know about the project hackintosh but the last I read a few years ago is that you need very specific hardware. May I install it on AMD base system. cause I have a very hateful relationship with windows and no Linux is up to the task that i'm using this PC for. thanks

Most likely the drive needs to be reformatted and the os reinstalled. Had a similar issue and that was the fix

1:11 : What OS do you think is on here?, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion?

Yeah, this is big brain time
PANTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was my mom's iMac while I was growing up. I had the older white one and playing games on hers felt so much nicer I loved it
It took me so long to get windows 7 to install on my 2008 imac, now I can actually do more stuff on it

16:13-16:29, the funniest part of the video!!! who he heck even wrote that command?! (PSA keep it up ken)
I remember my old school had iMacs from somewhere around that era. I think they ran 10.6.8 to.
Krazy Ken is the best.😀😀
your funny even if my computers not working had a good laugh thanks
I have an older iMac 9.1 and have installed Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon on it. Works like a champ.
I love these kind of videos
I'd totally get it for $100
love the old doc
I honestly miss the old interface before the redesign. I loved Mavericks lol
me: please work

me: well those are two words I don't really hear
Ken : I'm gonna go grab some grub
Me: some..........

Thanks a lot, it worked like a charm on my macbook pro 2009. Thanks
That was the best Terminal command I have seen in a while.
