Brand new iMac 21", freeze. Mouse movies, but does nothing

We just opened a brand new iMac 21" literally yesterday (purchased within the last three weeks). It was on for about an hour with no problems whatsoever. Then, while transferring photos to iPhoto, the system interface randomly froze. You can move the mouse around the screen, but it does nothing. You can't click anything. Hard resets/shutdowns result in the system rebooting back to the desktop like normal, but the mouse stays in this semi-frozen state. You can movie the pointer, but you can't actually interact with anything to fix the problem. Nothing brings it out of this state. We're not terribly experienced with Macs (new owner) and also snowed in to boot.
Has anybody encountered problems like this before? How do I fix this freeze?

My suggestion with a new Mac that is having those problems is to take it back to the Apple Store and ask them to fix it. Beside allowing them to solve the problem that will also give them the chance to document the problem with your Mac just in case it should happen again.

I have just bought a brand new iMac 27" with Snow Leopard but the MS office 2011 is running too slowly to even use...help!

I have litterally just bought my iMac with 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 and 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 so why is Word barely functioning?! I have more than enough free memory but Word is operating so slowly it takes a full minute for the cursor to stop spinning after selecting a section of the page to start typing in....it is utterly unusable in this state and I am very angry that this should even be an issue with a brand new iMac!
I would really appreciate any help or advice you have to offer.

Will not use up a license.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

Brand new IMac 27 bluetooth mouse and keyboard not connecting for eight minutes after start up.

I have a new imac 27 that has worked flawlessly for three weeks.
All of a sudden, when starting up the mac boots fine but the bluetooth mouse and keyboard are non responsive. This state is maintained for between 7 and 8 minutes then both mouse and keyboard start working and continue doing so for the rest of the day....until the next restart and the whole saga repeats itself.
Both sets of batteries are fully charged.
I have scoured different sites and tried any suggestion that made any sense, to no avail. All I am able to do at the moment is to do the time, wait the 7 to 8 mins. and then all's good.
My first Mac and this is very annoying especially as Apple must be aware of this issue but no solution is forthcoming!
Any suggestions/workarounds would be great.
Thanks

if you are using rechargeable batteries sometimes they don't stay charged for as long as they should try using alkalaine batteries and see if the issue still persists.
also try doing an SMC reset, the following article tells how to do this:

Brand new iMac iPhoto freezes

every time i want to delete photos in the trash . i phot just freezes up . a little annoying , there are not that many photos either . . i've tried iphoto manger promblem persists

If the machine is brand new (less than 90 days old) or if you have already bought AppleCare you should call them. You can call them M-Saturday during business hours for some help.
If neither apply please write a more descriptive post outlining exactly what you are trying to do and the steps you have taken so far.

My brand new iMac keeps freezing, how can I fix this?

I have only had my iMac for about a month and it freezes all the time. I can move the mouse but can't click on a thing. Does anyone know any possible solutions?

I have had this happen to me twice in the past week. Right now is the 2nd time. I can't click on anything on my computer. I have tried with my Wacom tablet and even plugged in a mouse ( my normal one is bluetooth). The last time the only thing that worked was rebooting with the startup dics and running utilities, but it has only been a week and it has happened again. The catch is that the first time it happened I was running Snow Leopard, but I upgraded to Lion several days ago. What the heck is going on with my iMac and how can i fix it? Can I still use the startup disc that came with the computer even though I now have Lion?

Why does my brand new imac keep freezing up?

I may only have several applications open and the computer will freeze up. I can use the mouse and move it, but not click on anything.

Wow,
I wonder why it is that when someone wants a real answer and experiences from users as to why an Apple product doesn't work, there is usually an iCult member who somes to the defense of Apple as if being a disciple of God :-) That's not a slander. It's meant to be part truth, part humor.
Brody, your other answers are great and what I was wanting to hear about. However, I can see you get too defensive about your favorite company.
I'm not looking for a lecture on why Apple is so wonderful. I sincerely want to know the things I should look out about when buying an iMac and to hear solutions to problems form users with issues. I would not be so hesitate about buying an iMac if it weren't for my current issues with iTunes freezing and crashing on multiple computers, an iPhone4 that doesn't work in speakerphone mode, and an iPad coming dead on arrival (rare I understand). I've been an electronics system designer for more decades than you might think, so I am not dumb about equipment.
Now before anyone jumps to conclusions, I am not a proponent of Windows or any other specific competitive company. Every product has its issues and advantages. But let's get the fact right. Apple is not the most valuable computer company on earth because of the "machines". If they were, then they would own that market. They don't. They got to be so successful because of the nice selection and decent design of many various products and services (and at a high price too). Apple does some really clever things, but also some dumb things as well. I'm looking to avoid the dumb things.

My brand new iMac keeps freezing?

Hi,
I have an iMac 27" late 2013 model, running OS 10.9.4, with 3.5 GHz i7, 32 GB of RAM and a 3 TB SATA hard disk drive (with 2.18 TB of storage remaining).
I bought it less than 2 months ago from the Apple Online store, and have been using it up until now with no problems.
Recently, the iMac began to freeze, at first the keyboard and mouse freeze, music playing in the background stops and no functions work, even after leaving the computer idle for 10mins - the only work around for this is to hold down the power button and reboot.
I generally run music production software, iTunes, browse with safari, and use Parallels Virtual Machine running Windows 8.1 for gaming (obviously not all at the same time). I've had Parallels on my computer since the beginning, and install games often, but only recently my version of Windows 8.1 completely stopped working for absolutely no reason (failed to boot - EFI booting error would come on screen), so I had to fully re-install my version of Windows 8.1 on to the computer. This was a worry as I thought something may be wrong with my hard drive, but my Mac OS still ran perfectly fine, UNTIL it began freezing.
As I said, I don't run all these programs at the same time, and usually only about 10-15 GB of CPU memory is being used when I am most active (checked with activity monitor). I've verified my disk in disk utilities and repaired permissions and there don't seem to be any errors.
What could be causing my mac to freeze? How should I go about finding a solution? I've been thinking about bringing it to an Apple Retail Store but have doubts it will freeze while in an appointment, as the freezing is infrequent and intermittent, but it is completely ANNOYING.
Any advice would be amazing,
Regards,
hmforward

If the iMac is only two months old it is still under warranty. Rather then messing around with it yourself you should just let Apple deal with it.
If you really want to try diagnosing it yourself you will need to remove all the extra software you have installed, especially the games and work from a clean machine adding things back a little at at time to see what effect it has on the system. You can also try running Etresoft: EtreCheck A free app that will examine your system. It may help to locate software that us causing the problem.
But as I wrote above given the age of the system you really should let Apple deal with it.

I have a brand new iMac that does not have iDVD. Made a move on iMovie installed a 3rd party burn prog. but DVD won't playback on my regular dvd player. Need to burn one that will. Help!

My new iMac did not come with iDVD as they are not using iDVD any longer. I made a movie that I needed to put on a DVD that would play on any external DVD player. After calling Apple twice, they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx" and made the DVD; however when i insert it into my player connected to the TV it gives the message "disk error --playback feature may not be available on this disk". Ok--now what? I am up against a time line here--need the DVD for a graduation party! Help! What am I not doing correctly?

I have a brand new iMac
If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
408-996-1010
800-692-7753
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx"
Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie. Get iDVD.

Brand new iMac freezes constantly! Updates aren't helping!

Hello everyone,
This past Sunday I bought a brand new iMac intel Core 2 Duo with a 250 GB HDD and 1 GB of RAM. At home I set it up with my SAMSUNG 1080p 22" monitor, Apple bluetooth Keyboard and mightymouse, and a Western Digital 350 GB HDD hooked up via USB. I was excited to finally jump on the intel-based Mac bandwagon, as well as experience dual monitors for the first time.
That was Sunday. Tuesday evening I was watching "Rome" on itunes on my Samsung monitor while surfing the web with Omniweb on the iMac monitor. All of sudden, everything locked up. I was able to move my cursor, but nothing responeded to my clicking. I hard booted the system and loaded everything I had going again, and sure enough, it locked up a few moments later. I ran system update, updated everything, then restarted. Time went by and although not immediatly, later that night it froze up on me again.
Fast forward to last nite, and the freezing reached and all time high. 5 times. Each time was when I had a browser open in my iMac window and I had Quicktime playing in my Samsung monitor. I was watching a sports program, with the player fit to the screen.
I have read many posts about intel iMacs freezing late last year, but there was a firmware update that evidently fixed that. I have this update installed, and I have had no luck. I have even contacted Apple Care via phone where I got instructed to unplug everything, plug it back in, start in safe mode, and delete cache. That didn't help me out at all. Am I right insuspecting I have a faulty Video card? I just ordered 4GB of RAM, could this be a RAM issue?

When diagnostics are run on a freezing computer and nothing shows, I'll put the program into a testing loop because this means one of two things: the issue is heat related so running the diagnostics several more times will bring on the heat so that the issue shows up or the installed RAM is marginal, just flaky enough to show up now and again but not so far off that a run through of the memory test catches it on the first run.
As I said in my original post, memory is always a suspect in a freezing or kernel panicking computer. And it does tend to top my list. But from what you describe I'm not quite willing to say, "Why don't you just wait until the RAM upgrade arrives?"

How do I uninstall Mavericks and recover Lion? I have a brand new iMac and web pages stall or freeze since I installed Mavericks. I can't get it to download software for my printer when I connect it.

I have a brand new iMac. It was working fine until I downloaded Mavericks. Now I have web pages that freeze while trying to load. The blue in the address bar stalls and freezes. If I try to load from page 1 to a later page, or reverse that, I also have the same problem. I tried to connect my printer for the first time, and again, the blue progress bar froze. Then I got the yellow triangle telling me there was a connection problem. My internet connection is via an Air Card as that is my only option where I live. I packed up the whole new iMac and took it to my Air Card provider, where they also have very fast Wifi, and they had the same problem with Wifi. I use my Air Card with my MacBook and it works JUST GREAT! I really want to return to Lion. HELP.

The only way to retutn to Lion is to format your drive (erase, lose all) and either:
1. clone back the clone copy i hoep you have, or
2. first backup your files, then format and install Lion again
But really, mavericks works great. You have a problem. Find out why. First, what unusual software do oyu have installed that may be conflicting with it? Virus, system modifiers, etc? Second what OLD software do you have that might be the problem. finally, you might need to do a re-install if something errored during install.

Brand new iMac cannot pair bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse

Hi there!
Just received brand new iMac 21" yesterday. Unboxed it, turned it on and none of both bluetooth devices (keyboard and magic mouse) managed to get paired.
I was able to connect a USB mouse to log into the Mac. Did all turn off/on Bluetooth, turn off/on iMac several times with no luck. Weird thing is that when I lift keyboard on a 30 degree angle above my desk it seems to actually pair with the iMac but then when back to original position it disconnects.
I've tried the magic mouse with my 2008 Macbook and works flawlessly. After several attempts never managed to pair magic mouse with iMac and as said earlier keyboard is not working on a standard position on my desk. It is frustrating to have paid close to 2,000$ for something that does not even work out of the box... Any ideas or suggestions?
I'm planning to take it today to nearest Apple Stores but have a bad feeling about "genius" folks being able to help me out. Would be worth changing iMac for new one?
Thanks a lot in advanced!

Thanks Barry! If SCM reset means the following:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
I've done that several times yesterday with no success. "SMC Reset" sounds quite fancy but then you google it and find that is a "simple" shut down and restart protocol... I tried "shutting down" by both selecting option via OS and also physically on the button behind screen.
I appreciate the help but unless I've done that "simple" protocol wrong it is not working.
Sorry for the frustration from my side. It just seems too much of a vague story when you hear Apple friends talking things about "the best OS", "best desktop",...and then you pay about $2,000 and find this yourself.
If anyone else interested I commit to keep this up to date with the feedback I'll get from "genius" folks today. Hopefully they'll prove themselves to live up to their position naming.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly. Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

Brand New iMac and Linksys WAG54G v2 - WEP but not WPA

Hi All
I have a brand new iMac and a Linksys WAG54G v2 wireless network hub;
I have set up the network with no encryption and everything works
I have set up the network with WEP encryption and everything works
I have set up the network with WPA encryption and everything works (PCs and printers) except my new iMac.
Occasionally it works (1 in 50) but mostly it fails with the message "There was an error joining the AirPort network "<name of SSID>".
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot/fix this?
Thanks

I'm guessing my failures might be due to one of two problems; inability to find the router or connection timeouts; does anyone know how to monitor/snoop this connection and/or fix this problem?
Thanks

LR 5 Crop tool is constantly freezing on a fresh new install of LR 5.4 on a brand new iMac Retina??? What is going on ???

I have lightroom 5.6 installed on a brand new iMac Retina
Running OS X Yosmite
Processor 3.5Ghz i5 Quad Core
32 Gb Ram
AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2048 MB
1 TB Fusion Drive
Application Stored on Fusion Drive
LR Files/Configs etc stored on Fusion Drive
Files are Canon 5D3 Raws
Files stored on external TB2 RAID Drives.
Camera Raw Cache 100 GB
Tried to Purge Cache & Optimised Catalog
Catalog was moved from older iMac to the iMac Retina
I am frustrated and at a loss to understand WHY my Crop Tool constantly causes my LR to freeze? I get the spinning beach ball and it is very slow. Does any one have any idea????
As a wedding photographer, this is slowing down my work flow significantly and its making my work life miserable!

If there are a lot of errors, perhaps the hard drive is physically failing. Perhaps it might be better to simply add a drive to the second slot and install the system on that.

Brand new iMac 21", freeze. Mouse movies, but does nothing
