Brand new iMac keeps crashing

Two-day old iMac began crashing shortly after Pro Tools installation.  The screen flashes too quickly, so hopefully the coding is correctly transcribed form photographs.

  • Brand new iMAC keeps hanging

    Hi All
    I received my brand new iMAC today - having never had a MAC anything before - decided to switch as fed up of hanging, viruses etc on PCs and also need more multimedia options.
    Have set it all up it keeps hanging - for no reason i click on force quit and sometimes it will and sometimes it won't even do that - I am totally confused it has done it to me on MAC Office, iCalc, i photos, i tunes etc etc
    Do i have a dud machine am i doing something wrong???? Please help.
    Cheers

    Kazzaboobers,
    Welcome to the forum. Chances are you don't have a dud. In case you haven't read the manual I would recommend doing so before playing with your machine, you will be surprised what you learn.
    Also when you mention the machine is hanging please describe with a little more detail so we can understand exactly what you mean.
    You are covered by 90 days for free telephone support, if the problem persists take advantage of the support and give Apple a call. In the rare event you did get a dud they will replace the machine within 14 days of purchase.
    Last IMHO it is a good idea to get AppleCare, this gives you 3 years of phone support and an additional 2 years of warranty. You can find it online (Amazon for example) for less than Apple charges.

  • My brand new iMac keeps dropping wifi connections

    At least 2-3 times daily my brand new Imac drops the connection to my home network- I have tried to reboot my airport extreme- my ipad and iphone and nest thermostat do not have these issues of dropped connections.  As soon as I click the pale wireless signal at the top of the imac, it finds my home network and joins again, but it is a drag to have to redo this every time I want to stream music around the house or check my mail. Any Ideas?  All of my updates are current.  Thanks

    This has helped some although, unfortunately, not everybody:

  • New iMac Keeps Crashing

    So this is my second breand new iMac that I ordered direct from the apple Website - I got it about 5 days ago.  They had me return the first one because it kept crashing.  Now this one does too...
    Here is the crash report.  It has crashed 3 times today - I have not installed any software that did not come with it (except Simcity, but it was crashing before that). 
    I have repaired the disk permissions already.
    Can anyone help?  I really dont want to return this one too - I have wasted a lot of time setting this up.

  • Brand new iMac 24" crashes and burns playing games in bootcamp

    If this continues I guess I will have to call support but for those that are interested here is the story:
    I have a 24" iMac 3gig and I have installed bootcamp - although I am not convinced as to how well this worked with the driver install as I have problems pairing my bluetooth mouse and keyboard in windows - works fine in OS/X.
    If I play WoW in OS/X it seems to handle this. I currently bought Warhammer Online which is PC only so I put it into my bootcamp partition. It runs absolutely fine until it gets hot and then it quite happily brings the machine down.
    Symptoms.
    wireless networking stops
    bluetooth becomes unreliable even when rebooted into OS/X
    System crashes and screen goes black - no repsonse or anything
    I find this worrying as such occurences cannot be doing my system any good.
    I installed fan control and tried upping the fans and my ssytem is now a little noisy but it still happens.
    After spending so much money on what is touted as a robust and performant system I am very disapointed. It seems despite controlling and selecting hardware Apple are no better than PC manufacturers. Except prettier

    Consumer ? The top end iMac ? Certainly my local shop has a different definition of consumer. Agreed the Mac Pro is HIGH performance and also a high price.
    For most of my needs I am happy with the Mac, a little disapointed with boot camp but that is all. Not just the game, but also the bluetooth keyboard - just can't get it to work. Works perfectly in OS/X which I guess is the main thing.
    Only real niggle in OS/X is the mighty mouse seems to be a bit sporadic with the right click. Works for a time and then doesn't. Very annoying, mainly becuase when it is working properly it is brilliant - so infuriating when it doesn't.
    Still - early days yet, and still learning - so hopefully I will sort everything out to my satisfaction.

  • 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.
    regards

  • 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?

  • Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce

    Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

    If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
    Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

  • Brand new imac 27" keeps crashing randomly in mavericks while idling, using firefox, transferring files, etc.  Reformatted and reinstalled everything from scratch after 15 plus crashes a day.  Crashes now only 4 times a day.  Help!

    Brand new imac 27" keeps crashing.  I'm running 10.9.2 with all software up to date.  It will crash on file tranfers to/from/between external drives, web browsing, word processing, video editing, and even while idling.  It used to crash every 15 minutes when I first got it but I reformatted and reinstalled all software.  Now it it still crashing albeit less often.  This is extremely frustrating because I have no idea what I can do to prevent it from happening!
    Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hmm thanks for the input.  Alright. I uninstalled Avast.  Was good for an hour or so.  I was doing some file browsing and crashed again.  Got this message.

  • Final Cut X Keeps Crashing with Brand New iMac

    I have a brand new iMac (3.2GHz Quad-core Intel i5, 8GB SDRAM, 1TB ATA, 1GB GGDR5) and have done almost nothing on it before downloading the trial version of Final Cut Pro X. I was used to Final Cut 7 and wanted to try out X before purchasing.
    I have one project and one event in Final Cut X, it's only a 4 minute video of mostly images, some video and two audio tracks. Every time I try and add any effect like a simple crop/Ken Burns or cross disolve to one of the pictures, Final Cut crashes.
    Most of the stuff on here says to delete your preferences or repair disk permissions. I have repaired disk permissions and it still crashes. And as far as preferences, it says to use an app from Digital Rebellion to delete any preferences but I don't think I even have any to delete. I went to system folder -> Library -> Preferences and looked for any FinalCut.plist files to delete and there are none.
    I'm wondering if certain photos I'm using are corrupted, but it would appear they all are then. I imported them from a file, would it help to import them from iPhoto? Is there something else I could do to fix those photo files? Or anything else I could try to get Final Cut from crashing?

    Thanks for your reply Russ. I'm not sure what you mean by Preference Manager. Am I looking in the correct place for preference files? (Users > Library > Preferences)
    Are you saying that even though I may not find them in the Prefereces Folder, an app like Digital Rebellion would help me find them?
    I'll try testing a new project but the problem is I can't isolate the problem clip because it seems to be crashing anytime I try and add effects to any photo. Do you know of an app that I could run photos through to "uncorrupt" them?
    And when you say create a new user account, you mean at the system level of the computer?

  • I have a brand new iMac (late 2012) that keeps losing its internet connection

    I have a brand new iMac (late 2012) that keeps losing its internet connection - like every five minutes. I have had it for three weeks. During the first two weeks, it worked flawlessly. However, just as the refund period ended - it became desktop dead weight. Suggestions?

    did u ever get a solution to this?  I have the same 2012 mines 27". It drops after sleep sometimes and can't find anything. Wifi. Connection to the Internet. I pull up network assistant it just gives me blank stares and restart everything. It doesn't even see the time machines and they are still there. I have it right now in full error and my iphones allowing me to see everything as connected and I'm posting here in the forum while my iMac cannot. Doesn't happen all the time. Not sure why it happens or what's goinng on with It. Works great and then sudden wifi failure to recognize.

  • Video converters from app store and online making my brand new iMac crash continuously, why?

    I have downloaded various video converters from the app store and online and it seems that no matter which one I use they all make my brand new iMac (I've had it less than 2 weeks) crash. I've wiped the disk once and reinstalled mountain lion twice as directed when I rang apple and I'm still encountering the same problem.
    I would really like to find a way to fix this problem without having my mac sent away for repairs.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem or know how I could fix it?

  • I keep getting an error trying to burn DVD on brand new imac!  Error code 0x8002006B

    I have a brand new imac and the very first time I tried to burn a dvd I got error code 0x8002006B.  I have had this computer only a few weeks. How does this problem get fixed?  spend too much money to have a faulty computer!

    OS X is not Windows and there is no need to "delete and reinstall" frequently
    If you're non tech person or (like me) a bit lazy to perform tasks manually, get Onyx -> http://www.titanium.free.fr/ and clean up your system ocasionally.
    For deleting applications use a tool like App Cleaner -> http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/25276/appcleaner
    Run "Permissions Repair" and a clean up before and after each major update; e.g. 10.6.5 -> 10.6.7.
    Update to 10.6.8 too, as 10.6.7 is a bit sluggish.
    I've never delete, format or reinstall since 2008 and performed just a system disk swap from the old MacBook to the new one when my 2011 MacBook Pro arrived.
    That was like eating a pie.
    Open old one, pull disk. Open new one and changed disk's. Startup and waiting 3 minutes for completing hardware detection. Performed all necesary updates. Cleaned system, doing a permissions repair, reboot and my system runs as designed and expected.
    Needless to mention that I have NO issues and everything on my new MBPro runs fine, fast and smooth.
