20 inch iMac screens ok.

From what iv read only the 24 inch iMacs have the condensation problem.
So if i got a 20 inch will i not have to worry about it.
Thanks, Jake.

Welcome to Discussions - you are right, the three beeps mean no RAM banks have passed testing, you will have to take the computer in to have it repaired. Hopefully, you will be covered by Apple Care. Any faulty RAM will cause the computer to malfunction, adding more RAM won't help.

  • My new 21 inch Imac screen tilts fairly easily, is that normal?

    My new 21 inch imac screen tilts fairly easily, is that normal?  It will hold in place.  But it doesn't take too much pressure to adjust it.  If that is normal, any precautions to make sure it doesn't "break?"
    Thanks for your consideration. 

    It should move easily; not sure what degree of "easily" would be considered normal. As long as it holds the position you set it to, it should be fine.

  • 24 inch iMac screen resolution options

    I have a 24 inch iMac. The native 1920x1200 resolution is great for displaying large amounts of data, but is sometimes too small for my aging eyeballs to see comfortably. The next option is 1344x840 which is easier to see, though a bit grainy, but I lose huge amounts of displayed data on web pages and things like that. I'd love the option for 1680x1050 (like the native res on 20 inch iMacs) but it is not an option on my display preferences selection menu. Why is that resolution not an option on the menu? Can I get to that resolution another way?

    I must be a conspiracy theorist. I've just bought a 20" iMac after many friends gave Macs such a great rap about their graphics etc. The 6 year-old 13" Dell Inspiron 4000 Laptop I'd just left produced much sharper screen images. Most of the work I do is just producing and reading text - reports and emails etc. I'm am SO annoyed that fonts are not sharp and clear on the 20" screen. Increasing the size (Command +) does not make any difference - the edges are still fussy.
    I complained (fruitlessly) to Apple Support after I found the best resolution I could get was only 1680 x 1050. Was told that there was nothing Apple support could do to improve it and buying a better graphics card would not help since the maximum screen resolution was related to the composition of the screen structure.
    And my theory? Apple will shortly launch a better higher resolution screen on the market and encourage us all to rush out and buy one.

  • About how much does it cost to replace a 27 inch iMac screen?

    Hi. I recently got a new 27 inch iMac. Unfortunately, got a chip and crack in the glass. I am curious as to how much replacing the glass will cost me. Thank you!

    If it was accidental, your one year limited warranty may cover a replacment screen.
    Otherwise, it's impossible to say what the charges would be.
    You need to take your Mac to an Apple store or Apple certified repair provider for an estimate.

  • My 27 inch iMac screen will not hold position when I move it.  It just drops back to the lowest position.

    My 27 inch iMac monitor tilts forward and will not hold position when I adjust it up.. Is there a tension adjustment for the monitor position?

    That is a hardware issue that will be covered under warranty if the machine is a 2012 or later iMac. Bring it into your closest Apple Store or AASP for repair.

  • Size dimensions of the 20 inch iMac screen?

    Can anyone help me out for a second? I've been using an original release 400mhz G4 PowerMac for the last 7 years, but am planning to get a new iMac 20 incher very, very soon. Before I do though, there is one tiny insignificant piece of information I'm trying to figure out, and can't seem to get ahold of anywhere I check.
    What are the dimensions of width and height of the iMac 20 inch screens in actual inches? Does anyone have them, or feel like pulling out a ruler? I'm just trying to get an idea of how much room it is, but I can't find the information anywhere, and can't use my current non-widescreen monitor to measure in comparison.
    Anyone care to pass along the info?
    Thanks.
    G4 PowerMac (PCI Grafx)   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   400 Mhz

    OK, let's try these measurements: 17" X 10.75" (Approx). I took these from my 20" widescreen Acer which has the same resolution specs as the iMac.

  • 24 inch iMac Screen problems after 10.5 upgrade

    After upgrading to 10.5 i have had many issues with the display my iMac (white) 24inch Core 2 Duo. I have corruption resulting in horizontal lines across open windows and in some cases on the desktop itself. Some of the button text turns bright green. The iMac in question was purchased with the NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT graphic card upgrade. I have run the 10.5.1 software update and the firmware is all up to date. Has anyone had the same issues? Does anyone have a fix? Help please.
    I have upgraded my MacBook with no issues at all!

    If your iMac keeps on freezing it could be a hard ware problem, the first thing to do is run Apple Hardware Test on your iMac. 

  • Is there any way to use a late 2009 21.5 inch iMac as an external screen for an early 2011 MacBook Pro?

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to work out if there is any way that I can use my late 2009 21.5 inch iMac (running OS X 10.6.8; mindisplay port) as an external or second monitor when connected to my early 2011 13" MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8; thunderbolt).
    From what I've read online, I gather that I cannot simply connect the two with a minidisplay port to thunderbolt cable, as the iMac does not support target display mode. I know I can 'share screens', but this doesn't give me much of an improvement on size compared to just using my MacBook.
    Are there any other potential work arounds I might have missed? Any suggestions (or even conclusive answers to suggest I'm wasting my time by continuing to think about it!) would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    Sorry but no, you are asking about Target Display Mode and the 2009/2010 21.5" iMacs did not support that, only the 27" iMacs did. You can read up on TDM in Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Can the 21.5-inch iMac height be reduced to 44.4cm by tilting screen?

    Can the 21.5-inch iMac height be reduced to 44.4cm by tilting screen backwards? The spec. height is 45.0cm, my desk opening is 44.5cm...

    You might want to go for a Configure to Order version that has a Vesa Mount on the back and then use a short wall or desk mounting arm.

  • I have had my new 21 inch iMac for 2 weeks in that time my iMac has shut itself down by itself without any prompting from myself.  It goes to screen saver, then shut itself down can anyone provide an explanation for this occurrance

    Hello, purchased my 21 inch imac 2 weeks ago within the last week I have notice my imac shuts itself down after a short period of time once the screen saver is activated.  Is there anybody out there who can through some light on this matter.  Is it a common occurance?  is there anything to worry about?  Should it happen at all?
    Tony

    When you say it shuts down, do you mean it powers off, so that you have to reboot it to continue? Or does it merely sleep, or blank the screen?

  • How do I fix this - my 24 inch imac indicates its screen is 16.5 inch

    My 24 inch iMac began displaying everything much bigger than normal today.  The system preferences display resolution is set to 1280 x 800 which is normal, but in Displays under the About this Mac it says the display is 16.5 inches.
    What happened? And how do I fix this?

    Click on the Desktop, select Help->Mac Help->search for ZOOM and you'll probably find that you've inadvertently activated an Universal Access setting.

  • IMac 27" inch display screen flicker issue when moving files

    Whenever a drop a file from Finder to my desktop, the screen flickers.  Occasionally, when I move a window, it also flickers, but it's a more consistent problem when dropping the files on the desktop.  It only flickers once and returns to a completely normal state.
    It does NOT happen when going the other way - from the desktop to Finder.
    I purchased the iMac AFTER the original firmware updates, so I haven't had to install any of them from the original problem a couple years ago. 
    I am wondering if this is a problem that is discussed or if there are any suggestions.
    Thanks....

    I'm having the same problem. Here are the details I was about to post as a separate thread:
    27" iMac 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 with 16Gb RAM. I'm also using a 20" ACD alongside, a set up I have used with my previous 24" iMac. The ACD is being used as an extended desktop (not mirrored).
    I've just started noticing an odd effect: When moving a file from a folder onto the desktop, the entire iMac screen flickers and breaks up momentarily before reverting to normal. It is an effect which lasts a fraction of a second and is visually very intrusive.
    Weirdly, if I move the file but continue to hold it for a second before releasing to place it on the desktop, there is no flicker.
    Similarly, if I open another folder and place the window alongside, moving a file from window to window produces no flicker. It only happens when moving something to the desktop.
    The effect does not happen if the ACD is turned off (but connected) or the ACD is used in Mirror mode.
    Does this sound like a hardware or software fault?

  • Using a 27-inch iMac as an external display for my macbook air

    I would like Using a 27-inch iMac as an external display for my mac book air.
    i bought a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable, it's the Belkin Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable on apple store.
    I connect my imac and mac book air with this cable but the screen of my mac book air don't appear on imac screen.
    where is my error ?

    Morning seal, my experience suggests the latter of your two posts is the correct one. I have a 27" iMac with a mini display port (a 2-year old one, not the newer one with thunderbolt); and a brand new Mac book air with thunderbolt. I connected the two with a Belkin male-male mini display port to mini display port cable, and it works fine - press command f2, and the iMac acts as display for the MBA.
    The irony here is that the folks at the apple store in Paris assured me that this would NOT work, and that I needed to buy a €999 thunderbolt display to connect to my MBA. I thought I'd try anyway, since I had the cable to connect a MacBook pro to the iMac anyway... Glad I did.
    Bottom line: yes, despite all the confusion, the new MacBook air will connect to the minidisplay port of an older iMac 27"; and the cable it needs to do that is the older minidisplay port cable, not the thunderbolt one.

  • Which video card for 24-inch iMac?

    I am not a gamer... is there any reason for me to get the 7600 card over the 7300 in the 24-inch iMac? Thanks.

    Hello,
    I am not a gamer... is there any reason for me to get
    the 7600 card over the 7300 in the 24-inch iMac?
    Thanks.
    If you are not playing games, then either card will be fine.
    But, the better card will improve almost any program that displays a lot of graphics, animations, or video to the screen.
    So, if you do any video editing, graphical animation work, drawing, 3D art, or anything else where fluid video and fast processing of graphical information is important, then you'll appreciate the higher-end card.
    If all you are doing is e-mail, web-browsing, and office related tasks, then you probably don't need it.
    But, consider that it is a one-time upgrade. So, if you think that your needs could change, then perhaps you should get the upgrade to help "future-proof" your computer.
    On the 24-inch iMac, the video card is a portable / laptop-type video card that is installed in a socket. So, it is removable and upgradeable later. But, it will cost you more to replace it later than you'll pay in the price difference now. And, those cards are not exactly available everywhere (though they may be in the future).
    The video cards on the other iMac models are not upgradeable at all. They are permanently embedded into the main logic board.
    I hope this helps.
