Does anyone like their new iMac screen?????

I am going to be recommending a new imac for some friends and wanted to know if there is anyone that likes the new screens on their iMac?
I know only people with problems post on here, but just wanted to see if there are any happy iMac users.
thanks in advance

For the past 4 years, I've been using the Powerbook G4 laptop and I prefer the matte screen display. When I saw the new iMacs, the only thing I didn't like was the glossy screen, but everything else was awesome about the iMac. In the end, I decided that the glossy screen wasn't SO bad. The only time it's really irritating is during daytime when the light reflects off the screen. Since my iMac is in my bedroom, I can just pull down the blinds and it'll shield the sunlight from 'attacking' my iMac glossy screen. Or, you can increase the screen brightness, and it helps take away the reflections.. not 100%, but most of it.
I've gotten used to the glossy screen now, and yes, it does make my Powerbook G4 screen look quite dull. Haha. I still use my G4 for school purposes, so it's not going into the can just yet...
Yeah, that's my take on the screen. So, yes, I do like the new iMac screen.

  • Does anyone know if the iMacs have CD-Rom or DVD drives?

    Thinking of getting an iMac. Does anyone know if the iMacs have CD-Rom or DVD drives?

    No, the new models do not.

    This is the Photoshop Elements forum, not the Premiere Elements forum, located here:

    When you open the project, it should ask you where the first file is located. After you tell it where it is, it should be able to find the rest of them if they are located near the first one.  Then save the file.  If you move the files again, you will have to relink them again.

  • Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab.  It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections.  Does anyone know their way around this obstacle?  Thanks!

    Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
    But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
    Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
    And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

  • How do I transfer music and photos from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. Have an old FireWire but it does not fit the new iMac

    I am trying to transfer photos, music, etc from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. The Power Mac is too old for the migration assistant to help. I have an old Firewire but it does not fit the new iMac. Any suggestions? If a Firewire is the best option which one do I need? Thanks.

    You need a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable or a external USB 2/3 drive (self powered) it can default to the old USB the G5 uses 1 or 2.
    Format the drive info here.

    Hi just wondering Does anyone else see a blue screen just before leopard loads up? It when i start my cpu after the apple logo and spinning wheel, then it goes to a blank blue screen for a second, then the desktop. Just wondering if that was normal. Thanks

    Yes, it is normal for a Mac to have a blue screen during start-up.
    You may also see it change colors from blue to gray.

    You are describing the repeat setting, which by the sounds of it has been turned on.  You'll need to tap it until it turns white, signying that the setting has been turned off.  See your iPod's User Guide for more info.

  • New iMac: Screen Issues and Noisy Hard Drive

    Hello,
    I'm writing regarding my new 27" iMac which I purchased just under a week ago (spec: 3.1GHz Intel Core i5, 1TB HDD, 4GB RAM).
    When I got my iMac home and unboxed it, all was fine, however once I had began to install some applications and use them, I noticed an unusual issue with the screen. I had a Skype window open on the left hand side of my screen, with an ongoing chat, Obviously, the chat 'stream' was moving, but the menu items on the far left remained the same. The iMac had been on for about 10mins, with the Skype window open for the same duration. After which, I opened iPhoto, and made it full screen, filling my screen with a dark grey background. I could still see the outline of the text from my Skype window through the iPhoto window. Thinking the window may have been semi-transparent, I closed the Skype window, however when I re-fullscreened iPhoto, the test was still there, as if it was burnt into the screen.
    I understand the concept of screen burn, but surely this shouldn't happen after just 10mins? It's nothing permanent, as it fades away again within another 5mins or so, but it is annoying knowing that I can't leave a window open for very long without worrying I will have text burnt into my screen for a period of time. As a graphic designer, I could be working on images that are dark, and likewise, I don't want to see remains of my chat or emails over the top of my design work.
    Has anyone else had this issue? Is this an issue that can be repaired by myself (eg. installing a firmware update, although I have all the latest updates from Software Update)? Or should I just return my iMac to the store and get them to look at it? I'm worried that if I take it back, they may fail to see the issue, as the lighing is a lot different in the store to at home.
    The other issue I am experiencing is I have a very noisy hard drive, that seems to click and make a grumbling noise rather a lot. Obviously at times when the computer is working hard, this is to be expected (I think), although most of the time it is grumbling away whilst I'm just browsing in Safari with one tab open.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue, taken it back and has a successful replacement? I've read that it could be to do with Mac OS X Lion, because people have reported that their hard drive ran silently on Snow Leopard but has got noisier with Lion. Should I wait for a Lion update before returning it? Other than the issues above, everything is fine.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to someone being able to shine some light on my issues.

    Thanks for the advice.
    Today, I returned my iMac to the Apple Premium Resellers where I purchased it. The helpful chap there looked at my screen and acknowledged the issue, before giving me a brand new iMac.
    My previous model came with Snow Leopard pre-installed, which I upgraded to Lion. This new, second iMac is a relatively new one as it has Lion pre-installed. Feeling hopeful, I've just arrived home and unpackaged my new computer.
    The result? EXACTLY the same issue. My Twitter window on the far left of my display has been open for no longer than about 7 or 8 mins, and I can clearly see the display pictures from my follwees burnt into the screen when I full screen a dark app like Snow Leopard.
    I'm wondering whether this is a Lion issue? Should I wait for a software update before returning it again? It's not something that's going to be annoying on a day-to-day basis, but now that I know it's doing it, I can't help but keep checking when I open iPhoto.
    PEOPLE WITH NEW 27" iMAC's: Would you please perform the following test for me and let me know the results?
    1. Open up a white backgrounded application, such as Twitter, Skype, or Safari.
    2. Leave it on screen (anywhere, but far left seems to be worst) for about 5 to 10mins.
    3. Open up iPhoto with it's grey full screen background, or set your wallpaper to a flat colour dark grey.
    4. Now minimise the white backgrounded windows, and switch to a grey background with no windows in front of it.
    5. Look carefully at your screen: can you still see an outline of/text from the window in the position that it was, like it's burnt into the screen?
    Thanks in advance to anyone that can perform this for me.

  • 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.

  • HELP!!! new iMac. screen shifts side to side and i can't use mouse when this happens.

    i bought this imac back in january and have had nothing but problems since then with it. first my OS (lion 10.7.4) crashed or some **** where i got extremely slow and would give me the colored wheel of death so i take it to worst but where i bought it and they say its a corupt hard drive so its sent out. get it back, they say it whats the os system so they re-boot the os on to it. mean while i was having the same problem ive have from the beginning which was the screen would shake side to side when ever i would be doing something and the mouse locks up and i would have to wait for it to stop. this is VERY ANOYING!!! i took it to apple and they ran a series of stress tests on it and they couldnt even get it to produce it once while they had it. so now its STILL doing it!  can anyone please help me. im ready to go to apple and demand a new computer or punch someone in the face...

    I'm speaking from experience.
    You're using a wireless Magic Mouse right?  Yeah, thought so. 
    I first noticed the problem on Lion (10.7.5) but that was also the time my Mighty Mouse or whatever that thing was called crapped out and I upgraded to the Magic Mouse.  I always thought the problem was with the OS.  My system is not supported by Mountain Lion (late 2006 model, the white one) so I did a system reinstall and stil had the issue.  Being stupid, I still attributed it to the OS but had my doubts about the mouse with all the silly swipes here and there and everywhere.  Until today.  I said enough of this garbage and switched off the mouse and plugged in a beat up wired Logitech.  Going on 4 hours now and not one screen shake.
    The "iMac screen shake".  Not very well documented.  But **** if that isn't one frustrating mofo.  Seriously, how did I use this thing for many moons with the screen shaking every 3-5 minutes.  ***??   And by the way, to stop the screen from shaking while it's doing it, madly swipe back and forth on the magic mouse shell to take control back.  Man, I'm getting upset just thinking about this problem.  And the waste of $70 for the mouse.
    And for what it's worth, I bought an iMac (2010) for my folks and I've noticed the problem on their machine too.  Yep, Magic Mouse.

  • Anyone have their iPhone 6 screen replaced yet?

    has anyone had to have their Iphone 6 screen replaced yet at an Apple Store? Was it pain free? How fast was it?

    I hope yours doesn't break anytime soon. Because I have found out that no one can repair them yet locally at least. unless you send them to Apple.
    After leaving dinner 2 nights ago  My iPhone 6 dropped out of my pocket as I was getting into my car.  It was less than 2 feet and I had a case on my phone and still my screen shattered. I have to say I was  really shocked that it even broke. My iPhone 5 was dropped dozens of times on all kinds of hard surfaces and never broke.
    I figured that I would get it take care of if I called Verizon the next day, but they told me they couldn't do anything. Then I remembered the local Apple store helped me last year when my suspend button wasn't working on my 5 and those Apple guys made myself, a cautious and doubtful customer walk out very happy with my first experience with Apple. I really didn't expect to have had a resolution when I went, but I did and they exceeded my expectations and I told my friends how great the Apple store and support was.
    So I called the store and was put on hold, after waiting a a couple of minutes to talk to someone, I figured I would just create an appointment and take  an hour lunch, so I could get there, and see if the local Apple store could fix my iPhone 6. I figured I didn't need to call. Why wouldn't they be able to help me?
    So I made it to the local Apple and met with one of the  Employees and showed him my iPhone 6 which had  tape and a screen protector on it to keep the glass from falling  apart. The employee told me that they could replace the screen for $109, that was great news, only  the store didn't have the equipment to fix it yet and probably wouldn't for a couple weeks, but If I wanted they would swap mine for a new one for $299. Unfortunately I didn't have the money to shell out for that, I just got the my iPhone 6 the other week. The guy said well if you can live with it just check back in a week or 2 and hopefully they will have the equipment. Needless to say I left there a little disappointed.
    I really needed to get my phone fixed. When I got back to the office I called around and found that nobody could repair them yet.  The guy at Batteries Plus even said that he hoped that they would be able to repair them soon, because he already had people calling and stopping by wanting to get the iPhone 6 screens repaired.
    I figured I wasn't going to give up. I thought that maybe if I get in touch with the someone directly through Apple.com, there might be another solution.  I got in touch with them through the chat support  and I could send it in for repair. I told them that I only have one phone and I can't send it in and and be with out a phone for 5-7 day while my screen is fixed. I felt like this script went back and forth a little bit and then I was told once again that I could send it in and have it fixed and that I could just use another phone. I had to once again tell her I didn't have another phone and that I just traded my iPhone 5 in to get the iPhone 6 and had I know that I was going to have these kind of problem I would have just kept my iPhone 5. I thanked her for her help and told her that I was getting frustrated.
    I was told the she was going to transfer me to her supervisor. I was told by Ali, "The Supervisor" that he was reviewing the chat and he would be right with me. I thought great he will see what has already transpired and hopefully I can get my phone fixed without having to send it in. Nope same script as the girl before.  I was also told to try another Apple store an hour away from me and maybe they could replace my screen. I am sorry, but maybe they could replace it? These are Apple stores! How is it that Apple does not know whether one of its store can fix my screen or not. So I am a  little more frustrated.  I told them I work 11-12 hour a day 6 days a week. At some point I was told something like I could pay $299 then I would get reimbursed after it was fixed and only end up paying $109. Really It was some crap like that. I guess he missed were I said I didn't have $299 otherwise I would have replaced it at the store.
    Really though by this time I was done, the frustration was not worth it. I figured my phone is taped up no more shards of glass to fall off or stick to my finders. I will wait until whenever they finally get the equipment that they need at my local Apple store to repair my screen.  You guys probably should have had that equipment ready at stores when the iPhone 6 was released.
    Good Luck!

  • Does anyone have any new recommendations to help iTunes recognize that my 128 iPhone and 128 iPad aren't 16 GB models?

    I have suffered from this problem for years, but since upgrading to 128 iOS devices in September, the mysterious iTunes/iOS hidden data disease has gotten intolerable. Here's the deal:
    I use my iPhone and iPad mostly for media consumption. I don't have a ton of apps. I have lots of videos, music through iTunes Match, and a few pictures. I'm one of those dinosaurs who doesn't use the cloud but downloads it, stores it, and syncs it via USB frequently (which I would bet is the root of my problem). Although I have a large capacity devices, I sync almost daily. And each time I sync, my displayed free space and the space iTunes allows me to use differs more and more. Old fixes used to involve such things as restoring the devices, turning off automatic syncing, turning off photo syncing, turning off other syncing apps, etc. And these things were temporary fixes.
    Let me give you an example of what I mean by temporary. It has been exactly eight days since I last restored my iPad to brand spanking new, retaining nothing. In those eight days and approximately eight or nine manual USB syncs, each with an average of 60 GB transferred, I mysteriously have managed to lose 40 GB. This afternoon during my most recent sync, iTunes showed 86.3 GB free. However, as usual, it wouldn't sync anything close to that. By the time I had whittled my selections down to an acceptable amount, it still showed I had 47.2 GB free both in iTunes and in Settings on the iPad. Yet when tested it by trying to sync a 50 MB app, it said there was not enough available space. In days past, problems like this would take weeks or maybe even months to accumulate. And the culprit would usually be the "Other" category. When that happened, the remedies I described would help. This new beast is something else, though. Like I said, this took only eight days.
    I finally decided to post something, though, after I reset my iPhone to factory settings this evening. When I was syncing the initial apps and videos, it would not let me sync more than 30 GB of material. I don't know what to do, guys. I bought the maximum capacity devices because I like my HD content. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? If you say I just need to sync less, (1), Apple needs to get its act together, and (2) It might sound crazy, but I can probably only push it to 2 days, so I'd only be postponing my problems a few days.
    If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere. I have spent time searching, but all I found was the answers I have already tried numerous times.

    I got my baby iPhone the day it came out. Seriously, I love it. I'm not really mad about the price drop, a little frusterated, but I knew what I was getting myself into when I purchased mine so early. But, now that I know there are ringtones in the future, I just can't wait.
    So basically, does anyone know for sure when we will be able to get the ringtones? And what about iTunes on the iPhone, when will that pop up? I'm sure these questions have been posted already, but I just can't seem to find a sure answer.
    I'm worried that it is just my iPhone/computer that can't find the update to get all the cool new feautres, any help?
    thanks in advance!
    Sit tight, once it's out you WILL KNOW. The Apple Discussions will be bombed!
