iMac 27" or 21" which should I order? mainly gonna use it for my in home music studio recording, I see ppl getting the base model 27" for good start as well

guys i found a problem.

i am using 12gb rams now 3x4gb (suppose to have 16gb) when i slot the last one into it, it just dont boot.

these are my rams.

some not same ddr and hz

when i fix this three combo it works



but when i put all 4 in it doesnt.


can anyone share tips ?

Apple has specifically spelled out the RAM type supported for iMac. As long as it is same specification, no matter what brand it should work.
Normally RAM does not work well when it come to the fact that they are of different specifications. I think it is the reason why it does not work, you should just stick to same specifications instead.

Has anyone here installed macOS High Sierra on the 27" iMac with 5K Retina Display? Experiencing some performance slowdown upon installation.

Yes, upgraded to High Sierra on my 2016 iMac. Was using it the past two days over the weekend for Word, YouTube, Twitter, and usual stuff. But I didn’t experience any lag. Quite happy with High Sierra at the moment.

Not sure I was running too many applications at one time but if there's one thing that I find consistent is the time it takes for Safari to open websites. Takes slightly longer than usual.

Hi! Can anyone help me out?

I bought a WD Passport HDD 1TB to designate it as a Time Machine backup. But since it was NTFS, I used Disk Utility to Erase and Partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. And that's where I got stuck. I couldn't even erase it and got an error message instead. A screenshot is provided below.

What did I do wrong? Is Disk Utility not working anymore in High Sierra?

what is the preferred solution to transfer in between ntfs to hard disk.. anyone can suggest?

Don’t quite understand your question. Did you mean to transfer data from Windows to Mac and vice versa?

Yes previously using Paragon NTFS for Mac, thinking is there any other way without a software as the free trial ended

I’m new to MacOS. Just say hello here. Will visit here more frequent after I got my Mac. I have used Linux before. But I’m not sure the similarity between MacOS and Linux.

If Mac fail me, i will back to Linux....

Hi should I buy the imac 21.5" now?
