iMac Woes

Had a lovely iMac 27″ in the other day with a dodgy hard drive.

Replacing the hard drive in these can be a bit of a nightmare, as you have to remove the screen to get at the innards, and that’s no mean feat!

It’s not a job that I look forward to as the screen is very big & liable to damage quite easily.

But as my client had a spare 2TB external SSD, I managed to get it set up with that, saving a lot of time trying to strip the beast.

It took quite a while to get it running again with all the usual Apple crazyness, but in the end it’s now running fast as ever.

Phew!
