Brand New ACD 30" has problem starting

I've had it for 1 month now without issue. Until yesterday, it had started right up when I would boot my G5 in the morning.
Now, when booting in the morning, the display's power light starts to flash sporadically and the monitor remains lifeless after hitting the power on the G5. I have to hit the power/sleep switch on the side of the display several times before it lights up. It appears to function normally after it turns on. And this only happens in the morning when the display has been shut down for several hours. If it's warm and has been running and I reboot there is no problem with it starting up right away. I'm using an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro AGP.
Any idea what's going on here?

Sent it back to Apple for repair on Monday. Got it back today (two days! wow!). They replaced the panel. Power issue seems to be gone. But exactly what I was afraid of has happened. Dancing green pixels everywhere when I'm viewing something that is dark or has large expanses of black (ie. movies, slideshows...etc).
It amazes me that Apple continues to sell a product that is so problematic for so many people. I suppose I'll need to send it back yet again and hope for the best.

My brand-new iPad Mini has Siri unresponsive. This happens quite frequently and I find it very frustrating. I have a strong Wi-Fi connection. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?

Let me also say that this has been functioning this way out of the box...this is not new or a result of cookies or a full cache.

My iMac Version 10.6.8 has problems starting up. I often get a white screen without the apple icon.

My iMac Version 10.6.8 has problems starting up. I often get a white screen without the apple icon. Then I must turn the computer off and restart. Restarting will usually bring up the Apple icon and the start screen. What could be causing this? And how can I resolve this issue. My Mac is still under warranty, I've had it just 7 months.

Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC.

Brand new mac pro has blank screen on start up...why? Can here instructions but can't see

I hae a brand new mac pro and the screen is blank during start up. ***...I can here instructions but can't see screen.

That Mac comes with 90 days free phone support from trained Applecare reps. You should take advantage of it.
Another alternative is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them put their hands on it.
Be sure you do something before your 14-day return/exchange (if you bought it direct from Apple) expires, or you may face a 3 to 5 day repair cycle.
Shine a bright light at the screen when it has booted up.
¿ Is the picture "there" but not lit up? that could be a backlight failure.
The F2 key is used to turn up the brightness, if it accidentally got turned down low.

Brand New Macbook keeps freezing on start up...

So, just bought my first MAC and having a horrible experience so far. Brand new computer right out of box froze on me on star-up (at the screen with the spinning thing and the apple logo). So I hold down the power down to restart it and then it boots fine. The computer works fine after that, but when i turn off the computer for a few hours and try to turn it back on, it freezes again at the same spot.
I called Mac support and they told me to re-install the OS using archiving option, did it and didn't solve the issue, and actually it gave me a Kernel problem after that... So I called again they told me to do a clean install... did it.. and still doing it... I have tried repairing the permissions or whatever and nothing, still freezes on start-up.
Obviously, they won't let me return it so I can get a brand new one, they want to try to repair it first. This is sad since the computer is not even 1 week old...
Anyone has any clue what the problem might be ? At this point to me it seems its a hardware issue, i don't think it's software...

I tried the fdsk and it did not work.
This morning i got a Kernel problem.
PANIC (CUP 0 CALLER 0X003A92A) or 1
UNABLE TO FIND DRIVER FOR THIS PLATFORM "ACPI"
DEBUGGER CALLED <PANIC>
There were a bunch of numbers and thing in between but you get the point... and as i was typing this message on my laptop, it froze, had to reboot it.
Here is the deal, which i don't think it's what's causing it since when i first turned it on without any of these plugged to it, it still froze on start but... I have the Apple pro keyboard and mouse attached to it, plus the Ipod cable + have it plugged to a Dell Monitor.
Would any of those things cause any problems ? I wouldnt think so, it better not because my sister's dell does the same thing and she has never had a problem with an external keyboard/mouse and monitor plugged in while turning on the computer...
Pretty sure this computer is just Dead on Arrival like someone said, the bad part is i bought it online at Apple store and i couldnt just walk in and return it...
Any other suggestions besides calling them and demanding a return ?
Thanks guys.

Brand new mac mini won't start up

Hi guys, I've read a few threads but nobody seemed to have encountered the problem I have with this new mac straight out of the box.
It starts with the chime, white screen, wheel, apple pops up but then suddenly the screen turns blue, then grey n displays two images alternately. Both indicate i need to do something with the power button but the power cable is definitely plugged in. What's more bizarre is that neither image features the mini, one is of a MacBook and an arrow points at the power button, the other image of a full size mac hardrive with a power slide on top front. I've never owned a mac until now so really unsure what to expect but the fact that the power light is solid and I can hear the disk spinning must be a good sign?
I've tried turn off n unplug, wait for 30sec then restart, reboot the RAM but nothing works.
Would be very grateful for any help you could give.
Thanks,
Sheryl

since the Mac is brand new, i'd take it to the nearest Apple Store or AASP.
a new Mac shouldn't behave like this.

My brand new Mac Mini won't start up

the light comes on, but thats it. No sound, no program. It did work for about an hour. What happened? I tried everything...Take it back.
Opinions please.

Having the same issue with my brand new Intel Mac Mini. Happened earlier this week for the first time it went into sleep mode and wouldn't wake up (the light came on, but no chime, no video) - even after shutting it down and trying to boot it up again.
I called tech support and they had me reboot the bios by unplugging it, pressing and holding the power button and plugging the power back in then releasing the button. After that I pressed the button and it came on - when I turned it on again the fan came on full tilt. I called tech support again they had me unplug it for 3 minutes then it came back on again and seemed fine.
Today it happened again - I was able to get it rebooted it but called tech support anyway. I am very concerned that a brand new machine is acting this way. While working with tech support it again became unresponsive. After trying a few things I was connected with another product specialist that agreed that their was a problem and has arranged to get me a new machine.
I am very disappointed as this is my first Mac experience, but hoping it is an isolated issue. Tech support seemed very responsive and I am happy with Apple's response thus far - although it would be nice if they would send the new Mac overnight!
Anyway since others are having a similiar issue I was curious if there are any common threads to our experiences? If you have a chance list your specs - might see something interesting.
Ok here are mine:
- Mac Mini Intel Solo Core
- Upgraded the RAM to 1 Gig (Ordered it this way)
- Upgraded to the SuperDrive (DVD Burner)
- Using a KVM (Also have a PC on the same KVM)
- Acomdata 160 GB Mini Pal Hard Drive / Ports
- iPod dock connected
- USB Camera cable connected
- Keyboard and mouse are USB wireless PC based
Anyway post your specs if you are having an issue - maybe we will see a trend.

Brand New iPad 3 has a jiggly screen and black boxes across the screen in different apps

My mother purchased a brand new iPad 3 about 1 week ago. The screen has begun to shake while she is in the apps. (This is not the shaking that icons do on when you hold an app down so you can rearrange.) When this happens the screen will go blank when her hand is near it and reappear when she moves it away. Also, in some apps, I have experienced this in the App Store and Facebook, black boxes cover the screen so that you cannot see what is behind them.
We have tried shutting it down completely, but that doesn't seem to be a fix.
I have been searching for others with this problem and haven't found any. Help would be appreciated. Given the sporadic nature (but often enough to be a bother), I'm hesitant to go to the Genius Bar for fear it wouldn't do it then.

I've had the same problem with Big Black squares covering the screen. And a few times the screen has split vertical in the middle and pushed everything in the on half a little down, making it very difficult to read text as the lines was cut in half.
I first experienced it in Mail, and then in Safari. I noticed that it is only covering content, not the App bar and When I scrolled down, the boxes were staying On the spot On the page. I figure it must be a software problem as it moves alting with the rest of the content, so I tried uenig Chrome instead, but yesterday the same ting happened.
I have tryed to take a screen dump, but it gets completely black
Its not warm When the problem occours.
Anyone with a solution?

Brand new iMac 27 has no sound

A buddy just got a brand new iMac 27, out the box last night. It has no sound.
He went to Systems Preferences and the Sound page provides no solution. Nothing can be clicked.
I know the solution is probably insanely simple, but cannot figure it out.
Help please.

The simple solution is take it back to Apple and ask them to fix it.

My brand new iPhone 5 has gone totally looney. Voice control won't come off, it won't reset. It is not functioning

My iPhone 5 is brand new. We set the voice control function and now it won't allow metro disable. I can't get my password entered. It has sent the phone totally looney and it is totally dysfunctional. I don't know what to do

Voice control? Why not enable Siri? She's much less annoying. But also, about the reset thing. My friend's iPod Touch had a password accidentally set on it and when I tried putting it in recovery mode to reset it, the process would always get canceled midway. I thought that iPod was as hopeless as your iPhone, but when I took it to an Apple retail store, they somehow did it all in two minutes when I waited hours at a time to reset it myself. The employee also said I would lose all of my data, but somehow I did not. Obviously none of this will be helpful if you do not live near a retail store, so I guess you can try recovery mode if you haven't already. You can look up how to do this online. Hope I have you at least one piece of useful advice here. Good luck!
 Thank you for choosing Apple.

My brand new iMac 27" is already starting the spinning wheel of death

Errr! Wondering why this would happen, I've only had it for one week. I set up my account and my three childrens seperate accounts. The spinning wheel of death started last night and again today. Any suggestions?

Call AppleCare. You should not have to trouble yourself with concerns such as this with a brand new Mac.
Telephone support is free for the first 90 days.
A brand new Mac will be running Mavericks. This is in the Snow Leopard support forum. Would you like me to request that it be moved?

Brand new OS X Mountain Lion starts in grey screen login window doesn't know me verify passwords all jacked up says to get external hard drive recovery so I have to spend more moneyon my brand new computer or can I fix and safe boot

brand new OS X Mountain Lion Bought in November 2012 starts in grey screen login window doesn't know me, went to utility dIsk ,verify passwords all jacked up, I Engaged repair passwords then press verified Macintosh HD it said Macintosh HD is OK but repair disk button was still lit up and wanted me to make a recovery disk external hard drive and such,please tell me I can fix in safe boot..

The repair button is always clickable when you are on your Recovery partition, it's nothing to worry about. Do this instead.
Then start in single user mode (Command-S)
Type fsck -fy to check your disk first (it wont let you start working on a disk until you have checked it)
Then type mount -uw / (dont forget the slash) to mount your Macintosh HDD
Then type passwd username with username being the username of your admin account
It will make you type the new password twice afterwards. From then you can boot into OSX as normal and use that account to fix the rest of your passwords.

Brand new Mac Mini failing to start

I got my Mac Mini 2 days ago (brand new direct from Apple, with Lion install) and everything worked fine until last night when I downloaded and attempted to install various Apple software updates (including a security update). I left the computer alone for about 5 minutes while it restarted and when I came back the screen was off and the computer was unresponsive to keyboard/mouse input. The Mac's fans were clocking at very high speed and the unit was hot so I powered off by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
I came to switch the computer on this morning and although it powered up and the indicator light came on, immediately the fans kicked in to a very high speed and there was no signal to my monitor.
I've tried all the steps recommended in the FAQ (resetting the PRAM, the SMC etc) and now I don't even get the indicator light.
Are there any tips/suggestions you can offer before I contact customer support?

With a brand new computer like that, I would take it back to Apple and ask them to fix it.

Brand new macbook pro does not start up am i doing something wrong

The clicking suggests you got a unit with a bad hard drive. Bring it back and exchange it for a another new one.
