24" Imac Screen Flicker
May 5th I purchased a 24" Imac.
At random times it will start to flicker. If I move the screen down it will go dark and then when a I move it back up, it comes back on.
I took it in yesterday to have it tested and of course they found nothing wrong with it.
Anyone else have this problem?
This is definitely not normal. Whether they can find anything wrong or not so long as you can duplicate the problem in front of them.

New Imac screen flicker when dimmed down
Hi guys, I got my new Imac about a week ago, aside from the whistling and dead pixels in the isight, are any of you guys getting screens that are sort of flickering when you start to dim them down. The light dims and filckers very quickly. It's kind of looks like the old CRT's at a slow refresh rate and is becoming really annoying. I was wondering if this is normal for all the Imacs. I'll be getting a replacement because of the dead pixels in my Isight, but this will also be something to look for in the new one. So it'll be good to know if it is normal.
Well, this is definitely a hardware defect and it appears to be wide spread. I took my iMac back to the Apple store today and the Tech saw the problem too and exchanged it for a new one (since it was within 14 days). Well, got that one home, and it had the same flicker issue. Two hours later back at the Apple Store, they saw the issue with the replacement machine too, but not with any of their floor models. So, they took that one back too and are doing a writeup to send it back to Apple so they can diagnose the problem.
The replacement iMac they brought out for me this time we setup in the store and confirmed did not have the display flicker issue when the backlight was all the way down.
So my suggestion is if you have this issue, take it into the Apple Store and have them replace it or repair it. -
Why does my iMac screen flicker only when using Safari? It doesn't happen with Firefox.
Yesterday, I had an issue with OS X, causing my screen to go black upon waking up my pc. Come to find out through the Apple Forum, that when the OS X was originally installed, it was not a complete install. Once I received the fix solution, completing the OS X install, (10.9.3) everything was back to normal, so it seemed.
Now, when using Safari, the whole page flickers and so forth, including the address bar. I never had problems with the screen prior to this. Also, it doe not occur when using Firefox.
Is there a fix for this? or an adjustment that can be made. This never happened prior to the OS X install, which was about 2 months ago.Troubleshoot Safari extensions ..
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall. -
HELP?!? - iMac 2011 i7 Screen Flicker issue (OSX 10.8.3)
I have a Mid 2011 27" iMac with i7
Since the latest OSX update (OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)) I am getting a very concerning issue where my secondary monitors and my iMac screen 'flicker' and show horizontal bars (green in colour) the audio then seems to stutter and crash before eventually the computer freezes and I have to hold the power button to shut down.
This happens once or twice a day, however a related issue that happens every few minutes is that just my secondary monitors flicker white in places and go completely black for a few seconds at times too.
I have run the Apple Hardware Test and it reported no issues, I also reinstalled OSX from recovery and it is still happening.
I am hoping (praying) this is an issue with OSX and not my hardware. Can anyone shed any light on this - I'm seeing reports of 'similar' sorts of issues with the latest OSX update. But nothing like the issue I mentioned first (the one that forces me to shut down)
I have a Time Machine backup, is it possible to use Time Machine to revert my OSX to 10.8.2 to see if it is indeed the OS that has the issue?
Thanks for any help you can give!!!
JayHi, I'd try the 10.8.2 restore.
I never use it, I use cloning myself, but...
Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?
http://Pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Can't imaging something not being covered there. -
My new iMac 27" seems to have a slight screen flicker at low light settings. If I adjust the brightness higher it goes away, but comes back when dimmed to the previous low level. There is no banding or stripes on the screen, it seems like the backlight is flickering.
Apple has stated that their Mountain Lion version of OS X and its Bootcamp are NOT compatible with "Windows 8" versions yet. That is the source of your problem.

IMac keeps crashing (see logs); occasional screen flicker
Hi,
I have a 21.5" iMac (2009) 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I have recently upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 12GB, and also upgraded only recently to OS X Mountain Lion. I noticed that system stability has deteriorated since these upgrades, with increasingly frequent crashes.
In particular, my screen flickered before my system crashed last night; visually, I'd say the bottom half of the screen was blacked out during the flickering. My system was not able to boot up after that, so I did a restore from Time Machine. I managed to restore my system but my computer has just crashed again. (Unfortunately, I was not present and therefore couldn't tell if the screen was flickering again... but at least the system booted up after that.)
I am pasting my System Diagnostic Reports below, hoping that someone can make sense of them:

Screen flicker on iMac 21.5" (2011, Lion Pre-installed)
My iMac has been purchased a month ago, and probably the first batch in Singapore to be pre-installed with Lion.
I have been experiencing screen flicker since the first week. It's a slight flicker that happens randomly for duration of less than a second, and occurs approximitely three times in an hour. I have slight yellow tinge on my screen, but it's negligible, and I'm not concerned.
During the flicker, the screen does not go completely blank like what many 27" users are experiencing, the flicker resembles the flicker of a candle light.
Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Will a future software update fix this issue?
Although chances are slim, I'm hoping Apple can replace a new set for me. I'm very concern that if they are just going to repair my set, it will take time and it may come back with other problems. I have called Applecare and their advice is for me to bring in to authorised service centre, unfortunately I don't feel confident that they will be able to solve the problem once and for all.Thanks for taking your time to reply!
I feel relieved knowing that it's not a hardware issue, so I'm definitely not bringing in for any repair, the technicians might just make things worse!
Anyway, something really unfortunate happened when I was trying to do a clean install of Lion. I rebooted my iMac into the Lion recovery partition and erased my hard disk without a second thought. Then went back to initiate the reinstallation procedure, only to be greeted by an error 'Could not find installation information on this machine. Please contact AppleCare.'
I contacted them and performed some basic resets, and finally did a 'zero-out' erase of my drive. And I'm still getting the same error. A search on Google reveal only a few people who had experienced the same. Hence, my iMac became completely useless overnight.
It's a shame AppleCare doesn't operate round the clock, I tend to work long hours and could not find an appropriate time to talk to them. I would like to make a request for them to mail me a copy of Lion in any media, so I can install Lion back onto my iMac. Maybe they don't offer anything that sort, but I'm still going to try! This problem is annoying.
I'm glad you can revert back to Snow Leopard, Lion has it's attractions, but problems outweigh its features. -
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? -
How to i fix a flicker on my iMac screen?
My imac screen has just started flickering. I have researched it and it already a promblem with other mac's. How is this problem fixed? Thanks
You could reset the pram and smc to see if that helps. I would however suggest if the machine is within waranty you contact your local Apple store as this sounds like a hardware fault to be honest.
-
My mac has developed a screen flicker. I vaguely recall this happening before but cannot remember the solution - something to do with resetting the PRAM or the NVRAM perhaps? Help the headache is getting worse!
Okay. I found a scrap of paper about resetting the SMC. It seems to have worked. I did NOT reset NVRAM or PRAM (I have no idea what these are by the way - I just trust acronyms!). The process I followed was;
1. Shut down the computer
2. Unplug the power cord
3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds
4. Release the power button
5. Attach the power lead
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer
Mine is a 2099 iMac with up to date OS X 10.8.5. I will report on this thread if and when the problem recurs. -
I just bought a brand new, but previous generation 27" iMac a couple of weeks ago, and today I have begun experiencing some noticeable screen flickering. It doesn't go black, and there is no yellowing. I have read reports of past iMac flickering problems from 2010, etc, but haven't found much info on those bought in 2012.
Aside from hauling the computer in for service, has there ever been a fix for this? I have done all software updates that are available. Worst case, I'll take it in, but I'm checking here first.
Thanks for any help.

AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MBI had screen-flicker and color-distortion issues on my mid-2011 27" iMac about two weeks back. The issue ended up being a bad video card (AMD Radeon HD 6790M 1 GB).

CS5 AS2 mac projector screen flicker–no flicker from CS3 projector
I've been working on a flash project for a while using a G5 PowerPC, 10.4.11, Flash CS3 using AS2 and publishing a mac projector/Windows exe. Mac projector has always worked fine. So has the exe. I just upgraded to an iMac, Snow Leopard 10.6.8, AMD card and Flash CS 5.5 v11.5.0.325.
I'm using the same CS3 AS2 flash file from the old G5 CS3 setup on my new Snow Leopard Mac CS 5.5 setup. When I publish it, the mac projector flickers like crazy. It looks to be an animated png issue. But I have never had that problem on my old slow G5 - the projector always played perfect, no flicker.
On this CS5.5 generated projector, the flickering occurs on the splash - large png files, but my G3 never had one issue. Also, my small png rollovers flicker - not just the animation. And the screen flickers non stop when there's no mouse activity.
I copied over a backup of my CS3 generated projector onto my new computer and played it to see if it was a graphics card issue. No flicker! The CS3 projector plays perfect on my new Mac. All content within the two projectors are identical - What gives?
Why is CS5.5 generated projector flickering, but the exact same file from a CS3 generated projector works perfect on BOTH computers?
I've spent several hours searching for the answer but can't find a flicker issue similar to mine.
I don't have bitmap caching enabled. I didn't change any of the default settings in CS5.5. I just copied the CS3 file to my new computer and published it, then I got instant screen flicker. I don't know what other settings to change for projectors. Never had performance issues with projectors or exe files, no matter how old the computer was that was playing the file.
This must be a Flash setting issue, but I can't find it.
By the way, the cs5.5 genertated exe file plays like a champ - no issues.
Ideas?I also tried publishing the projector in flash player 9 and 10 to see if that would make a difference. It did not. I was publishing in flash player 8 on my old G5 computer and that's what I published it as through CS5.5 as well. That didn't work either. I'm search for some sort of fs command AS2 issue when using CS5.5 to see if I need to change the code, but have not found anything yet.
It's the full screen mode that is causing the flicker though - only when published from CS5.5. Full screen mode works out of a CS3 projector on both computers.

I have a 24" 2007 imac that is out of apple care.
When the screen is not on full brightness and the CPU has been fully loaded (i.e. processing RAW files) I get screen flicker and the only way to clear this is to turn the screen up to full brightness. I have tried using Shades but this does not help.
Has anyone got any ideas, is my screen on the way out?Ausha, I can't answer all of your question but I do have some suggestions/recommendations for a few.
4. How good are the blacks ?
The blacks are very black, very rich due to the glossy screen. The look better on mu iMac display than the Samsung display I have.
5. How can one adjust the height of the screen
Screen Heigh is fixed. You can always use a ream of paper or two, that is what I do.
6. What color calibration software would be the ideal
I use Spyder2 Pro and it does a fair job on the calibration. The problem is that with the glass over the CD the "spyder" doesn't get the best reading off of the display. I would imagine that Pantones "Huey" calibration would have this same issue. Either one of these programs are rated very high though.
7. How is the effect of glossy screen on the eye. Is it a huge strain?
If you have a very bright room the glare can be bothersome. If the room is overhead fluorescents or indirect lighting it should be ok. I've only run into a couple of instances where it really bothered me. Most of the time I don't even notice it.
8. Capture one pro vs Apples own aperture for raw editing is it worth spending extra £219 ???
I use Adobe Lightroom and love it. The cost is about the same as Aperature. I did quite a bit of research and comparrisons between Aperature and Lightroom before buying one and like the features and useability of Lightroom better. Plus it integrates seamlessly with Photoshop CS3.

I just got my new 27" i5 today. I am coming from a PC so I had it on all day watching the online videos and tutorials. The computer was flawless all day. I love it buy the way
This evening the family turned on the TV so I plugged in my headphones into the jack in the back and started back looking at the tutorials. Shortly after I started to get the dreaded screen flickers. I thought I was seeing things because the computer had been so great. Then it started to go to black and then back on. When I came to some tutorials with no video, I unplugged my headphones to just read the screens and then the screen immediately went black and came back on.
Long story short.....I unplugged the headphones and rebooted the computer. It has been flawless since. Could it really be that simple? The flickers have something to do with the headphone jack? Has anyone else noticed this connection too?? Or should I try to replace my computer? These are old crappy headphones to boot - I will gladly buy new headphones no problem. I hate to replace the computer.
I have already checked the notice on the graphics card firmware update - and it is already installed on my computer. Thanks for any suggestions or help.I am experiencing similar issues with my new 27" i5. I have not seen the screen go black yet, but there are obvious flickers from time to time. I only notice the problem during/after watching videos (and yes, I have the headphones plugged in). The videos are from Netflix, so I am using the Mac version of Silverlight.
This iMac was purchased because the graphics chip on my 15" MBP started acting up a couple weeks ago and then finally failed completely. Interestingly, I was also watching videos on Netflix with that system when the problems began.
When I first got this iMac the Apple Software Updates downloaded and installed the graphics firmware update. I had hoped that would eleminate the possibility of screen flicker, but it seems that was wishful thinking.
I am going to call Apple tomorrow and see what they say. Based on what I'm reading here I'm not too happy right now. It sounds like this problem is relatively widespread. -
My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.
