Great job…NOW GIVE IT BACK!! 😮

Great video! I also acquired this exact spec iMac for free. Threw in an SSD and a copy of OpenCore Legacy Patcher for running macOS Monterey! Definitely chugs but far from unusable.

I used to use a 2007 iMac with Windows 7 installed on it until I got my Gaming Pc back in 2019.

Let’s go my man ur finally back

imacs are good

Your channel is great, i just subscribed!

Great video. I have the same 2009 iMac...not long made a video about cleaning it for the first time. It is, as you say, great for documentation and movies, but sadly past its prime for much else. I just love that it still works after all these years! Running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. It's still fast for what I need it to do, and hopefully will last a few more years yet!

I guess I'm your 1,000 subscriber! Great to be near the beginning of what I'm sure is going to be a great channel. Keep up the great work.

Kudos, well deserved, However, be careful meeting strangers at Night in the Park…😮😮

Great job. Just subscribed. Greetings from Germany

IM YOUR 1000 SUB!

I use my 2008 iMac with Catalina Patcher almost daily to listen to music or watch YT in my workshop. Sure it takes a bit but it runs better then Sonoma with OpenCore wich I had before.

I love my 2010 i7. Doubtful I would want a 2009, although it would make a good jukebox. I run Ubuntu, which only cares whether the processor is 64-bit.

My man... This video is pretty good but you got a couple of points wrong, at first, Apple servers haven't changed and iCloud and App Store services still work on Mac OS versions as old as 10.6 Snow Leopard, and second, you can patch newer macOS versions to run on macs like that one, enabling them to run on the latest software version. Hope you take these into consideration and hopefully make a followup, you earned a new subscriber!

You can install a t9300 or t9500 in a 2007 Imac and run Mojave or even Monterey on it also put ssd and max out the ram they make a great system

The white iMac is just a 2006 iMac; the iMac G5 was released in 2004 and only officially supports up to Mac OS 10.5 Leopard.

Nice. Its a shame that apple puts people through such hell with older software/macs, otherwise using retro macs would be amazing.

It definitely needs the RAM and SSD upgrade along with opencore legacy patcher, i watch youtube videos on my 2009 17" MacBook on Monterey so it definitely works. I wish Apple didn't remove the CD/DVD drive from these so soon because the big screen is good for DVDs and also burning/ripping cds

Just install more ram and SSD and install windows or Linux and you have functional PC :)

Have you looked into using Open Core Legacy Patcher to install a newer OS onto the mac?

That SATA cable you used, is it SATA to USB? I think i need something like that.

Hey J-tech !! im looking for a battery for a macbook pro 2289. since you've dealt with eBay sellers and order parts online . is there any seller or website you recommend to order a battery. i see so many sellers don't know which one to trust Thanks!!

I have like 20 imacs 2009 with a 1tb storage nobody is buying them regardless of how cheap im listing them
