install mac os on 2009 imac
TrainFan90 replied to TrainFan90's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Just upgraded to high sierra and it's running like a dream. I installed macs fan control and it took care of the fans running at full speed. -

alright, I can confirm that the late 2009 mac does support booting from usb. I just tested a memtest86 stick and it showed right up and it's running memtest86. So I guess I was doing the mac os bootable usb wrong. Yeah I'm going to try using my friend's actual mac to create the bootable usb. -

I thought I did mention you in the last comment but I don't have access to a running mac or else I probably would've figured it out by now -

I cannot get this damn thing to install mac os. I've tried everything I can think of. I don't have access to another mac before catalina, and every attempt I've made to use transmac to create a bootable usb drive has failed. When I get into the boot menu, the usb never shows up. Is it a bad dmg? I tried the Sierra and el Capitan dmg files directly from apple's website https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT211683 no luck. -

No but my friend does -
One of my friends gave me a 27'' 2009 imac that they didn't want anymore and it came without a hard drive. I tested it with a windows 10 hard drive and it actually works pretty well, so I was wondering if I can install mac os on it. I know it won't support big sur or catalina but maybe high sierra? It has an i5 750, 8gb ram, and a radeon hd 4850 If I can, how? I don't have much experience with macs
