IMac Problem - Crazy Curser

Hey Forum,
I hope you can help with me this problem I have been having with my brand new iMac 27" desktop. Its only two days old and sometimes when I am using it the curser goes crazy and starts jumping all over the screen uncontrollably and clicking. I have tried turning the bluetooh mouse off when this happens but still no joy so maybe I am thinking its an issue with software?
Any solutions would be great.
Thankyou
Eddy.

I now have a mouse mat which is black, the mouse originally was on the wooden desk so hopefully this will make a difference and stop the issue. I do have a wired mouse which I can try if it occurs again. The mouse setting is fine, nothing that would make it go crazy and start moving and clicking everywhere erratically.
The only reason I thought it wasn't the mouse is because when this occured I turned the mouse off manually underneath and the curser was still clicking and moving everywhere like crazy..
Hopefully this will solve the issue but if not I will try a wired mouse and if still no luck will come ask for more help.
Thanks,
Eddy.

56 day Time Machine backups. and 27" iMac problems.

56 day Time Machine backups. and 27” iMac problems.
I have a problem and its driving me to mad. I wish to backup my iMac to a separate hard drive, When I start TimeMachine backup there is a window that appears ,I switch on Time Machine , select my Verbatim separate hard drive which I have partitioned into three section , one called time machine backups, and click ‘backup now’ the process starts by stating ‘436GB of 500GB available’, Preparing Backup’ and this stays there for ages and then when it does start to backup states backing up 234 byts of 28.3 GB . I left my IMac on for fifteen hours and it still read the same , 234 byts of 28.3 GB also at one time showed ‘time remaining’ as 56 Days. It will not allow me to reformat the Verbatim and will not allow me to eject the backup hard drive. On disc repair it says things are OK, disk partitions are OK. Could I have damaged the Verbatim Hard drive when I previously forced a shut down as it was taking so long and would not eject theVerbatim hard drive. Also Just recently it has been impossible to shut down the iMac as ‘Messages’ is working and won't even force quit. I switch of at the mains. Please help.
Equipment.
iMac 27” 3.2 GHz intel core i5 [four months old]
Running OS X Yosemite
Verbatim [SamsungHD] [three years old]
Partitioned in Three , Formatted as Mac OS Extended [Journaled]
connected by USB 2 Cable
Thanks.

First you should NEVER EVER partition a Time Machine or any other backup drive for anythings else but backup. This is likely why you are having issues, buy yourself a high quality EHD such as an OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro, format it correctly and make that your Time Machine backup HD.

First big iMac problem. Help very much appreciated.

Hi folks,
I've just come onto these forums today, for the first time, largely prompted by a major iMac problem i've encountered over the last couple of days. Please excuse me if any answers to my problem have previously been posted, but i'm typing on a borrowed laptop, which I have use of for today only.
Basically, I have a 20" iMac G5 RevB (my first Apple machine), which has been a pretty solid workhorse since I got it just after the release. However, having completely crashed 2 days ago, I can't access anything upon reboot. All I get is a loud and repeated clicking at the back (top right corner if you're eyeing up the back panel). I get a grey screen and no Apple logo. Eventually the clicking stops and the fans kick into overdrive. I get no further, aside from occasionally a blue screen with a folder with a question mark on it - nothing more.
I have no ethernet cables (or any other peripherals) connected, but this still doesn't remedy anything. I did manage to run 2 hardware tests, via the OSX DVD but nothing was flagged. However, upon trying to do a dummy run of an installation of OSX off the disk, it failed to recognise ANY hard drive within the computer onto which to install the operating system.
Can anyone offer any pointers, please? It'd be much appreciated.

don't have Apple Care, but I am still well within the one year standard warranty period.
Without AppleCare, you cannot get on-site / in-home repair.
Also, you will need to take the computer into your local shop for inspection / servicing.
With AppleCare, they will come to your home for diagnosis and repair.
If you were within your first 90-days, you would be able to call Apple to request phone service and possibly have them send the part to you for installation.
But, after the 90-days, they are not very inclined to talk to you on the phone. So, they send you to the local service center for inspection and repair.
One option is the online support system. You can chat with a tech online, and they can assign a case number to you, and send you to a website to order the replacement part.
I went through this chat method recently, and it seemed to work fine.
Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/imac/
then click on the link that says:
"Chat with a support agent"
One additional option, is to try the online wizard. It is on the same website, but has a link that says:
"Try the iMac G5 assistant now!"
This wizard allows you to browse through a navigational menu, and select the replacement part you need.
I had a sticky mouse button, so my problem wasn't in the menu. They had mouse related issues, but not my problem. So, I went through the online chat.
If you are able to find your symptom in the menu, then you might be able to order your part right there without chatting with a support agent.
Otherwise, try the support agent chat.
This might be more convenient than taking it in for inspection.
Hope this helps.

New mac user..possible imac problem,help please!

I've had my imac for about 3 weeks and in the last 4-5 days after waking up from sleep mode it has been lagging severly. At first it was for about 15 mins now its been going on for over 45. First of all, applications and anything I click on in them takes a very long time to open and sometimes several clicks. The rainbow ball curser seems to come up for much longer than usual. Then when I type, nothing shows and I have to click on the window to get what i typed to come up. I have plenty of room on my harddrive and 1 GB RAM that was factory installed. Being a new mac user, I really don't know what to do about it. Anyone know whats wrong or what to do?
Thanks in advance.
(sorry if there is bad typing in this post, dealing with the text lag right now)
40GB ipod, imac G5 20 w/isight, Dell XPS Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hello Christine:
If the logout/restart does not help, call Applecare. Rather than some of us trying to troubleshoot, the Applecare technicians will walk you through the problem identification process. Suffice to say, what you describe is definitely not normal.

Imac going crazy

Help. My Imac (Intel) running OSX 10.6.7 has started going crazy - writing new file names, sending messages on MS messenger etc. Can anyone help? I tried rebooting after resetting the PRAM but with no luck. Is there anyway to set a safe mode? switch off automatically loaded programmes such as messenger? Has anyone else seen this problem? The machine is switched off pending help - I am writing this from another machine. Thanks

see this on how to boot your Mac into safe mode .

IMac 27" 2010 - cursed by Apple Gods? Greyish smudging, yellow tint...

Purchased in October 2010, in Helsinki, Tector store (Finland). Was more than happy with snappiness and overall performance. NOt for long though.
After 3-5 months of casual use in home environment the screen defeloped greyish smudging inside the LCD assembly, not just behind the cover glass.
THis winter I had it replaced under warranty in the same Tector store service in Helsinki. After having a closer look at the display, (I use it for photography, calibrated with xrite colormunki), I noticed the yellow tinge at the bottom of the screen area. So this means I got LCD replacement from the first batches, when this problems was widespread, or what? Is it a curse?
The problem is I live in Russia (where apple does not have either official store or adequate service presence) so I have to travel to the nearest European stores in Finland. That makes for a lot of hassle. Precisely the reason I am posting here - very unsatisfied customer.

Richard,
I wouldn't be too concerned. Help forums are specifically for people that are having issues and are NOT representative of the general population of machines. Some people think that if they see some similar posts on a help forum there is a wide spread issue, in most circumstances it's only widespread in their minds. For those that are having legitimate issues it's very simple, contact Apple during the warranty (or AppleCare) period and have the problem addressed. If their machine is out of warranty or their AppleCare (3 years from original date of purchase) has expired they need to bring their machine to an Apple Store or AASP for service.
If your machine is operating OK as you say it is, stop worrying and continue enjoying your iMac. Your machine is probably representative of the millions of machines operating perfectly fine.

Will old iMac problems transfer to the new one?

My present Intel iMac is having firewire issues and past its warranty, so I'm going for a new iMac. In an effort to try and salvage the old one I wiped everything clean, reinstalled the the OS and restored from a Time Machine backup. Now I'm having problems that weren't there before, like not being able to open Mail, iTunes, or Safari.
The new iMac arrives on Monday, but I'm worried that whatever is wrong with the old computer will transfer into the new one. Any ideas on how to avoid this?

That's a good thought on the 3rd party apps. I'm taking inventory of all my disks and downloadable Apps now, and removing them so I can individually reinstall them on the new machine.
I checked out the permissions and everything seems to be OK. But still no luck on the those three apps. Mail opens, but crashes as soon as I try to read a message. And iTunes and Safari can't stay open at all. Interestingly enough, I'm trying other Mac apps like iCal, Garage Band and iPhoto and they're all still good.

Mid 2010 iMac Problems

I have a 21.5" Mid 2010 iMac with 16 GB RAM, running 10.8.5.
Problem #1
It's recently started doing some odd behavior when waking up from sleep. I have the screen saver set to come on after 5 minutes of inactivity and then the display and computer both sleep at 15 minutes.
When I try to wake the computer up by moving the mouse, it takes anywhere between 5-10 seconds for the password prompt to pop up and then it's another 2-5 seconds before it will let me type in the box. It also seems that when the computer sleeps, the wifi is disconnecting, because the computer won't have received any new email and all my mailboxes have the little exclamation symbol next to them.
After about 5 seconds or so once the computer fully wakes up, it reconnects and pulls all my new mail.
Problem #2
This usually happens when I just browsing facebook or youtube or something like that, but when I switch over to another application and come back to Safari, I will get the beach ball for a few seconds and then the computer will freeze. The mouse cursor turns into the little "I" symbol like when you go to type or highlight text. The only thing I can do at this point is a restart.
Problem #3
I have spaces set up with Safari, Mail, iCal, and iTunes in spaces 1, 2, 3, and 4. Most of the time I'm in Safari, but if I move to another space either with the mouse or the keyboard shortcut, to check for new mail, for instance, and go immediately back to Safari, it will on it's own jump back to the space I just left. It happens with any space no matter what. I use the option + arrow keys to go between spaces a lot.
Does anyone have any idea why this happens? Thanks for your help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Repeated iMac Problems, Display Issues now Kernel Panics

I’m lost on what’s wrong with my 2008 iMac and I think I just have to bring it back into Apple for a third time to have it repaired. But something is obviously not working that is causing these issues.
About a month ago, my computer began showing heavy pixilation, flickering images and the on-screen graphics. The computer appeared to keep working in the background from what I could tell so I came to conclusion that it must be the graphics card that’s failing and I’ll need to have it looked at.
My 2008 iMac was custom-built by Apple with the Nvidia GeForce 8800GS that was offered as an upgrade option. There have been several posts on the display and graphics discussion board about that graphics card along with other postings other places about the problems the Nvidia GeForce 8-series had.
The display problems I mention above would not happen immediately, it would happen as the computer warmed up and was used for 3-5 minutes.
Anyway I brought my computer into Apple explained to them what I believed was the problem and the Apple Store technician agreed with me. Because I did not purchase AppleCare, it cost me $400 and a week without my iMac to have that card replaced.
I got the computer back two weeks ago and everything seemed fine. It was working as it always had. I even was running SMC Fan Control in order to keep the computer as cool as I could (the Nvidia problem was related to overheating).
But this morning, this is what I woke up to:
http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7436/photoijr.jpg
The computer now has a semi-permanent pixilation when it starts up (as suppose to the pixilation 3-5 minutes into use). But more worrisome now is I cannot start up the computer without it going into a kernel panic. I tried resetting the PRAM, I tried starting in safe mode. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is booting from an external HD which I will try this evening (to hopefully isolate it if it’s hardware or a software problem).
The Apple Hardware Test has been unhelpful. When it originally failed three weeks ago, the test showed nothing and this morning when I ran it (permanent pixilation and all), it showed nothing. I feel like if it was a software issue the pixilation would have disappeared during the hardware test because that’s not an OS-X based program.
Here are my specs on this computer:
2008 iMac 24" 2.8ghz Intel Core Duo, 4 gigs of RAM (Crucial Purchased, I have original sticks somewhere), 1 TB HD, Nvidia GeForce 8800GS.

Hi, just to update you, I came home today and did a few things that didn't seem to solve my Mac's problems:
- I booted up from my firewire "safe" drive that I keep a copy os x on to see if I had a corrupted hard drive or something. It booted into the kernel panic I described above.
- I also swapped out the crucial RAM for Apple's factory RAM. It also booted into the Kernel Panic.
In both incidents, the display issues didn't go away. Now instead of pixelization i have vertical bars running in a pattern across my screen.
I'm currently trying to boot onto the OS X CD at this point to see if I could do a reinstall. It's taking quite awhile to boot into that.
With that in mind, I think we're still having graphics card issues or more seriously some logic board problem.

IMac went crazy, no fixed but many files become zero bytes in size

I don't even know where to start. I guess first I'll list some background information:
My wife and I share a iMac which she uses it as her workstation for illustration and I use it as Plex Media Server and Transmission etc. So she would normally use it by day, but my account would be always logged in in the background and I use SSH and Remote Desktop to control my account.
And since the ultimate symptom are I don't how many zero byte files, here are some configuration information.
1) iMac 27" late 2012 with 128 GB Apple SSD and 3TB HDD
2) A custom fusion drive with 1 logical volume consist of 3 physical volumes.
3) The configuration is odd because I wanted to use both fusion drive and BOOTCAMP. So there is a BOOTCAMP volume as well.
This happened in the past couple of days. At first my wife was complaining about loosing wifi connection and keyboard connectivity problems. For wifi I typically instructed her to turn wifi on and off or try to reboot the computer. For the keyboard problem, it turned out to be a software problem not Bluetooth because disabling a third part IME seemed to resolve the problem.
Then at one night, she accidentally unplug the iMac while it's on (it's always on, and my wife never reboot or shut it down unless I intervene). No she freaked out as she couldn't remember if she saved her illustration work. Luckily she did. And at this point of time, after booting it up, the PSD file was intact and the latest version. Okay, we moved on. I didn't worry about too much about the power failure because this happened before. And normally Disk Utility in Recovery HD would fix the problem.
Then on the day after, it started loosing sound. So I tried to fix it. Now when I tried to login, it said "Cannot find "login" keychains". Choose "Restore to Default", doesn't work and Finder was keeping crashing and relaunching. Hopping a restart would fixed but it didn't. Then I tried all regular maintaining techniques include fix disk, fix permission, clear all sorts of caches with OnyX. Because there was a power failure, the disk did need some repairing and according to Disk Utility, it appeared OK now, but the problem was still there.
Then I created a new user, works seemingly fine. Deleted my old account and created it agin with the same UID, same problem. Almost all the applications failed to launch except "Notes" and "Maps". It seemed to be a user problem but using the same user ID but new Home folder, the problem came back. This baffled me. I never came across something like this.
Then I hoped upgrade system to 10.10.3 would help (it was 10.10.2). And it did. Now finder can open. Keychains still missing and could be reset to default. But at least I could open Keychains Access now. And from there I created a new login keychain. And my wife's account didn't have this keychain issue, I assumed the situation was under control.
Now, the wired thing happened. My wife fired up Photoshop, it's reporting problems loading preferences. Moved preferences file else where, it said unexpected EOF. Looked it up and ended LAYOUT.psp or something became zero bytes. I deleted it and let photoshop create default one. Now photoshop works. But the PSD my wife panicked about earlier became zero byte.
Verified the disk again, appears to be OK, again, appears to be OK.
The only thing worth mentioning was the amount of something called "Metadata Volume" and "double redundancy". It says "The Logical Volume Family has a 4482 MB Metadata Volume double redundancy". I'm not sure whether or not this is usual.
Now I'm trying to recovery all the PSD files on the disk with a Data Recovery App. But while I'm waiting I found some other files now its zero bytes. This really worries me. And I'm still not sure what cause the problem or even what the problem was or is. I suspect it has something to do with fusion drive as when I do rsync -W --inplace, the speed is normally 20~30 which is a bit low to me.
If you read this far, I really appreciate it. I'm sorry it's so long and unclear. It's because its like nothing I encountered before and the problem is hidden with many little issues on the surface.
But I will try to summarise my question:
1) What could possibly be the root cause of those problems
2) What happened to those files.
3) Is there anyway to recovery them other than standing all the sectors of the disk
4) Would it be better off with fusion drive.

What to do next with my defective iMac problem?

I've had numerous 27" iMac replacements and now it seems as if I'm SOL. I've had to have quite a few iMac replacements for my 27" for a bad airport card, non functional bluetooth, cosmetic damage (imac had giant scratches on the front of it) and bad backlight bleeding. I've been on the phone with Apple and Applecare for these issues more than I would ever care to be on the phone with Apple for, diagnosing the DOA models took the longest.
Anyhow I emailed Tim Cook, which got sent over to the Executive Relations team. They handled my newest iMac, which was the one with the wifi problem. Was on the phone with Applecare for around 2 hours trying to fix that. Well they don't want to send me another replacement, won't send me another replacement. Told me if I wanted to I could get it repaired, I said what was the difference. And I kept getting excuse after excuse. So after calling Applecare again they decided to issue me a replacement. The replacement was supposed to arrive on Monday. Well, it didn't arrive. I called FedEx and they said Apple called to have it returned to them. So the guy who was handling my case had my iMac sent back to Apple because I wasn't supposed to get a replacement. That disgusts me, the iMac was no more than 15 miles from my house. Oh not only that but after he called me on the phone to tell me how furious he was because I "went behind his back" to get an iMac replacement, I am no longer allowed to shop at the Apple online retail store. I'm banned.
This is the biggest load of crap I've ever had to deal with. I think for $2500, I should have a computer that works properly. I do not know who else to contact because when I call the online store I'm directed back to Executive Relations. And when I talk to the guy handling my case at Executive Relations, I ask if I can speak to someone else or his superior. He tells me I am only allowed to talk to him. I call BS. Most people at Executive Relations are just kids... well mid 20's.
At this point I no longer wish to own an Apple product and they don't seem to care. I guess me buying 12-13 computers, 4 ipads, 7 iphones, and 5 iPods (family) over the years doesn't mean anything.
This is probably in the wrong section, I don't know where else to post it. If anyone has any idea how to help, please let me know.

This certainly not the place to post, and not the kind of post the forums are meant to receive, understandable as your chargrin is.
The time scale is not clear either. As you will know, up to 14 days allows for a no quibble new replacement so following your post I get the feeling you are outside of this no quibble return option ... yet the giant scratches on the front are grounds in themselves and should have been obvious from day one.
In Europe, there are consumer laws to ensure suppliers support their products and offer a cheap and quick route to a legal procedure. What you have where you are located may be your only recourse but I still feel uncomfortable about the time scale in advising this.

Serious imac problem. Won't boot into safe mode, can't click anything when os loads up.

I'm trying to recover my files through the boot camp option on the windows side. Is there anyway to run something like disk warrior or windows alternative to repair the partition from the windows side. I don't think I'm going to be able to get all the files off my computer cause the hard drive is messed up and not working well. But I'm not completely dead. Safe mode won't work and I tried the fsck from single user which didn't work either. Any help would be great, please save my wounded mac!

I didnt change anything. Literally nothing. I am typically pretty good with computers but this is kinda driving me crazy. I didnt mess with anything in disk utility or partition sizes. I installed boot camp years ago so i dont really understand why i was moved to this forum. I use it for music production and web surfing. (windows for a little gaming) but havnt gamed or installed anyting in.. a month or longer.
I am thinking the hdd is having a problem. I never did anything with permissions which i heard could get messed up. But i cant do anything on the Mac side now just a spinning ball.

2008 24" iMac problem (video footage included)

OK, I have made a post about this a few weeks ago (click here to see it), and in that post I explained the problem I was having with my iMac. But I explained it using text. So, I figured it would probably be better to use video to actually SHOW the problem happening in action. Now hopefully the Apple forum admins will be nice to me as it seems that the add video function is greyed out for me, so I'll have to upload it to youtube and link you all to it. So, below is the link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udp0RnncrHw
If you want to see computer specs, those are in the video description. Anyhow, thanks for watching and reading! I'd appreciate it if someone can help.

This is a general iMac forum not specific to Windows issues. If you are using Bootcamp I would recommend using this forum:

If you are using Fusion or Parallels then I would go to those companies forums and post.

HT1338 I have a Mac iBook late 2007 w/ 10.7.5 which has a simular iMac problem with 'wake from sleep' that has be resolved. However, I cannot find an MacBook solution to my problem. Any ideas?

The abstract says it all. I close the cover of my MacBook and when I reopen it - the computer fails to attempt to connect to the last known wifi hotspot I was connected to or search for a known connection. I have to manually connect wifi to my home computer since upgrading at some point in the 10.7.x releases. The problem is described in the support for the iMac as having been resolved successfully, but I am interest in knowing if anyone else has seen and resolved this problem on a MacBook?

In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

Imac Problems

Hi,
I have a little problem with my iMac 21", the images you see on internet browsers are fuzzy i dont know why... its a virus maybe?
Please give a me a plan
Thank you!!

There aren't any Mac viruses so you can rule that out.
Depends on the file size of the image. If it's too small, it could be fuzzy.
Which browser are you using?
You can zoom a Safari window by pressing Command + (plus) on your keyboard.
You can also try a different resolution.
Go to System Preferences / Displays - Display
