![]() ![]() In December 2015, my system was unusable. Because of this, I stopped using VM's (I was also given a work laptop so I could stop using my iMac). I could click the Safari icon, and then get lunch before it would be open. The host OS during this boot time, is completely unusable. If I even open a virtual machine now, what took 15-30 seconds to boot now takes upwards to 20-25 minutes. Once I installed Yosemite, everything went downhill. I had no speed issues, I was able to use both the VM and the host OS. ![]() Prior to installing OS 10.10, VM's worked incredibly well. I work(ed) a lot with Virtual Machines, as I build and test software on different platforms. ![]() Side question - I know the serial number and MAC addresses of the WLAN/Bluetooth & Logic Board's can be changed using Apple's utilities, but I thought that disk drives weren't? I have never seen a utility to replace a drive serial number (and I replace disk drives in server nodes and raid arrays on a daily basis). that's what I was told, at least - I question it because my HDD's serial number never changed, but it was explicitly written on the work order that the drive was changed). I have brought it into an Apple Store, who has replaced the logic board, the bluetooth/wifi card, and the hard drive (well. I purchased it in January of 2014, and ever since day 1, it's been a nightmare. I have been experiencing so many issues with my Late 2013 iMac (14,3 - 21.5" 2.9GHz, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, Nvidia Graphics).
