IMac display doesn't fit flush?

The display has a slight gap on the top edge and the glass itself is shifted a bit left so it's can't fit flush to frame.  I think over time dust will get in there and be a problem.  Has anyone ever had this happen and can it be fixed?

I found it! He had somehow set the zoom on the trackpad. I've never used that feature before, so I didn't even know that could be done.

  • IMac - Display doesn´t work after restart

    My iMac 21 Display doesn´t work after restart. If I turn it off and 1 hour later I want use it again the iMac shows the white screen with the mac logo and then the display goes off. I connected an external display to check if the iMac was ON and with the external display I can login and do everything but the iMac Display doesn´t work .
    If I turn it off and wait 3 or 4 hours  and then turn it back on the display works OK.
    This is very strange behavior I have spent hours and hours trying to fine the solution or a similar issue but nothing so I am looking help here at apple.com
    BTW When I bougth the iMac 21 there were some spots over the display so the display was replaced by the provider. The warranty has expired by now.

    To tell you the truth, I don't know if they have to repalce the LCD panel or what they do for a bad backlight. In this reality of block or assembly replacement it probably involves repalcing the panel and not the backlight component. Don't know what it would cost. You'd have to ask that of a service center.

  • Bizarre-Screenview suddenly larger than display, doesn't fit

    I was working in FCPX, I thot I'd hit control+V, when suddenly the screenview is magnified and doesn't fit on my MBPro's display. By moving the cursor to the edges I can make the screenview move to the edges and see everything but why is it suddenly magnified. I tried using fn+F keys to see if I'd hit something by mistake but can't figure it out. ***! So bizarre. Any ideas?

    Turn off Zoom from the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

  • I5 27" imac display doesn't turn on

    Hi,
    This issue just cropped up for me this morning. When I go to turn on my recently purchased (Feb 2011) core i5 27" iMac, the screen doesn't turn on. Instead, it remains black until I hit the power button again, after which it will usually come to life. It sometimes goes black again without any warning. I can usually get the screen to come back to life if I hit the power button. However, I have an older 24" cinema display hooked up as a second monitor, and it always comes to life when I start up, and never goes black like the iMac display. Anyone else having this problem? Are there any known/recommended solutions?
    Thanks!

  • IMac display doesn't turn back on after sleep

    This is a new problem on my two-year old iMac, and didn't happen before. What is happening with my iMac is that when it goes to sleep and the display turns off, the display doesn't turn back on when I move the mouse, press the keys or the power button.
    It happens only after around 12 hours or so of inactivity, it seems. I have to reboot the iMac to force the display to turn back on. I think it is display issue, not the computer lockup because I checked which logs were written in /var/log - system.log was being written until I rebooted the iMac. However, I didn't see any information in there around the same time that I tried to turn the iMac back on.
    Any ideas on how to debug the issue.

    Hi dailyjoe
    1. Reset your SMC exactly as instructed in the following article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    2. It would be normal for you to have to startup your iMac if it lost power while in sleep mode, look at the box "Start up automatically after a power failure" in the Energy Saver preference.
    I have always left the box for "Start up automatically after a power failure" unchecked and do occasionally find the iMac is shutdown because the power has gone off. I would suggest leaving the box unchecked, it's better than having the iMac going off & restarting multiple times if you are having bad weather or power issues.

  • Display doesn't fit screen

    I just bought a new MacBook 13 and transferred everything from my MacBook Pro 15" using Migration Assistant.
    So many things in the display don't fit the screen area. I've looked all over for a way to adjust this in "preferences" but see nothing. Even email is half hidden.

    Are you sure that this isn't a one-off migration problem, with applications remembering their window size from your old, bigger, screen? You can test this by moving the window so you can see the bottom-right corner, then dragging this to resize the window so it fits the screen. If the application subsequently works OK then that's your answer.
    I think that you can also test this theory by clicking the green + icon on the window (top left). If that 'corrects' the window then again I think it means that the window just has a remembered size that's bigger than your new screen.
    Best of luck.

  • My display doesn't fit on my screen

    I can't see both sides of my screen display, thus I can't access the back button on the left and the scroll on the right at the same time.  How can a iadjust the setting to do so?

    Sorry, I have an iMac with a 24" screen. My resolution is set to the maximum, but as I look at this page, I can see the scroll bar on the right, but I can't see the back button at the top left.  I am not computer savvy enough to know if there is some sort of command button to remedy this, so I have to move the whole display back and forth, which. when doing searches, is a real hassle.
    When I go on Google searches, about this problem, I find a lot of people describingthe same problem, but maybe we're not using the correct terminolgy to express it.  I would just like to be able to see the scroll bar and the back button on the screen at the same time.

  • IPad 3 USB cable doesn't fit flush in back...normal?

    I notice when I plug the USB cord into my new iPad 3, it's flush in the front but not in the back. In the back, you can see part of the metal sticking out. Is this normal?
    Hard to believe Apple would not create a better-fitting cord for the iPad's sloped design...so I figured I'd ask. Worried I might harm my iPad with a defective cord.

    No, it is perfectly fine.  The iPad 2 is the same way, along with almost all the iPod Touchs, and the first 3 iPhones if I remember correctly.  The reason is so that you can have one cable for the iPad, iPhone, and iPods.  Trust me, if you use the cable from your iPad box, it will look the exact same.  Nothing to worry about.

  • My iMac Display doesn't work!

    I hear the sound when he starts but the display stays dark! why?
    Please Help me!!!

    First, detach any peripheral devices except keyboard/mouse. Then reset the SMC:
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    If that doesn't change anything, follow the steps in this Apple note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 . When you get to the section on using Disk Utility to repair the disk, use Lion recovery mode by booting with command and R held down. Assuming of course by then you can view something on the screen. If the screen still doesn't work, take it in for service.

  • IMac RAM Doesn't fit

    I ordered 2 new modules for an iMac 11,3. They won't seat in the bottom slots. I removed the original and put the new in the top slots. They fit normally. The originals don't fit in the bottom slots either. Any known issues with this? It is way out of warranty.

    You could schedule an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar as hardware issue diagnosis is free - they could actually look at it which would make it much easier than trying to guess.

  • Retina iMac Display doesn't turn on

    Hi guys,
    my new iMac just arrived. I unpacked it, put it on my desk and turned it on... The "turn-on"-sound was there, but the display is blinking just for a second on, and then it turns off - a few seconds later it turns for a moment on and then it turns off again... In that moments in which the screen is on, I can see the setup display...
    So what should I do? I can call no one from Apple Support because there's no one there anymore
    The iMac is brand new and came right out of Shanghai
    Did someone else did have this problem?
    Greetings,
    Linda

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • IMac display doesn't stay asleep when hot corner activated

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem mentioned in this archived thread from three years ago:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1323073?start=0&tstart=0
    I have an Intel 27" iMac that I bought brand new last year. I have a hot corner set to sleep the display, but after it's activated it usually comes back on after a few seconds. It's really frustrating.
    If it's just mouse jitters (I have the wireless Magic Mouse that came with the iMac), I don't understand why the hot corner area is so small. It seems like it's just a pixel large. Is there any way to make the hot corner area bigger so the mouse has to be moved a wider distance to come out of the hot corner?
    Or if it's certain programs activating the display, how do I figure out which programs are doing it and is there any way to prevent all programs from doing that? If I'm choosing to sleep my display, I want it to stay that way and I don't want it to come on even if I have an iCal reminder.

    How can you be sure? It may be some system operation that's doing it.
    This may also prevent the display from sleeping, but the next time you're doing this you might launch Activity Monitor and order the process list by CPU. Then when the display wakes up, note what processes (besides the DVD encoding software) are using non-trivial amounts of CPU time.

  • Display doesn't fit screen now. Black bar an inch wide on right side of screen on Satellite L655

    The right side of my screen has a blacdk bar about an inch wid.  It is like the display ends an inch before it actaully does on the right hand side.  Also the taskbar is below the bottong of my screen and I cannot see it.  I have tried to adjust the screen resolution and every other option the control panel offers but nothing changes it.  The last time I had my laptop on it was fine.  I turned it on yesterday and have had it shut down and restarted multiple times and every time since yesterday afternoon the screen is showing wrong.   How do I fix this issue?

    I know this is an old thread, but hopefully you'll get my message.  Did you ever sresolve this problem?  I have exactly the same issue. Thanks, Kevin

  • Latest iMac display vs. Cinema Display

    I posted this also on the Intel Mac Displays area, but wasn't sure if that was the best place.
    I'm hoping to get a new Mac for graphic design at work. I'd love to get a tower unit and 23" display, but I may need to save the company money and go for the iMac with maximum RAM. At home, I have a 20" Cinema Display with my G5 and a 17" iMac (all just prior to Intel conversion). The iMac display doesn't look as clear and sharp as the Cinema Display.
    Can anyone tell me how the latest iMac 24" display compares with a 23" Cinema Display, as far as quality of what you see? Is the graphics card the determining factor?

    I'm not sure why you would think the 17 inch iMac didn't look as clear as the 23 inch cinema display. I've seen a fair few of them, and they look fine to me.. The graphics card shouldn't have anything to do with it.
    I've seen a 24 inch iMac and both the clear and metal 23 inch Cinema displays, and the display quality seems comparable to me. If anything, the metal cinema display and iMac are better than the clear cinema display.

  • ITSMobile GUI doesn't fit on PDA

    Hi folks,
    I'm observing a strange behavior. I use a PDA with a barcode scanner and display the standard SAP ITSMobile menu (lm00) in the Internet Explorer of that Windows CE device. I've set the presentation format to 16x20. The PDA has a QVGA display.
    What happens:
    1. Logon screen is displayed. (fits perfectly in height and width - no scroll bars)
    2. I log in.
    3. The RF menu is displayed. (doesn't fit in height and width by about 30% - scroll bar visible)
    Even with only 3 menu points the logoff Button (F8) is displayed very low so you'll always have to scroll. Does this work as designed or do I have to configure something? I just can't believe that the standard SAP RF transactions can't fit a state of the art QVGA display without scrolling...
    Any suggestions are highly welcome!!!
