Fog on 24" iMac screen (Most recent model)

When I went to use my computer before there was a large patch of fog in the bottom right hand corner. It is actually quite irritating because if the computer is on a black screen it turns orange. Also, the fog blurs out everything underneath it. Is this normal for iMacs to do this? I just wouldn't think it should be a normality for being an A$2,500 machine.
Obviously warranty is still valid along with the 90 call period.
Thanks for your help.

Sounds like condensation on the inside of the front glass, there are a few of options:
1. Reduce the humidity in the room and leave the iMac on for awhile to see if it clears up.
2. Remove and clean the glass panel yourself. Google: +removing the iMac's glass panel+
3. Take it to your local Apple Service Center or Apple Store and have them dry and clean it.

  • I am about to buy my first Macbook Pro, should I wait for the possibility for a 2015 macbook, or just get the most recent model currently? (9-22-14)

    No one knows if there will be a new model and if so, when that would be. However, there always will be something bigger, better, and newer around the corner, so you'd be waiting forever.
    Buy it when you want or need it.
    FWIW, here are the specs of the latest models (which happen to be mid 2014):

  • After the most recent Thunderbolt update my 2011 iMac keeps hung in the loading screen!

    After the most recent Thunderbolt update my 2011 iMac keeps hung in the loading screen! I've tried restarting it a few times without success. Any help? Thanks!

    I had the same problem. Try this. Launch FaceTime. Click the toggle to turn it off; or Command-K. Quit. Do a restart, you shouldn't get the popup. You could then turn FaceTime back on if you wish. Either way, the popup should be gone from then on.

  • Firefox is causing my imac screen to go blank (crash) and I have to restart. Most of the time its random, but recently it did it everytime I finished listening to an audio file online. Is there a solution for this?

    Firefox is causing my imac screen to go blank & I have to restart. It's been happening randomly for weeks now. I haven't been able to tie an action that causes it. Firefox is open while I work in other adobe software. Recently it has done it every time the audio file finished that I'm listening to online and that makes me think it's tied to Firefox. Is there something I can do to fix this? For now, I am going to quit firefox while I work and see if that doesn't improve my situation for now.

    Does it still happen if you disable all plugins?
    Did it start happening after a Firefox update or a plugin update?

  • I am still running OS x 10.5.8 what is the next step up and the easiest way to get it. Does the Genius bar have the capability to get me to the most recent software if I take my Imac in

    iMac G5 - you are at the end of the line, though you may be able to upgrade your RAM, or hard drive.
    iMac CoreSolo, CoreDuo - you can upgrade to 1 GB of RAM or 2 GB of RAM and get up to 10.6.8.
    iMac Core2Duo - you can upgrade to 2 GB of RAM or more and get up to 10.7.2.
    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine which Mac model you have.
    Here's what you have to watch out for on 10.6 to 10.6.8.
    Here's what you need to watch out for on 10.7 to 10.7.2.
    Some stores may not have 10.6 installer CD available, or may not have 10.7 Flash drive available.  For those you have to make the purchase from elsewhere,
    and bring it in to the store with you.  http://www.apple.com/retail has phone numbers for all their stores, and extension 5 often will get you a real person at the store, though if yuo don't get it, you might try a different extension.

  • Why is it that when I go to the search screen to find a particular message in a conversation it comes up with the message but when I click on it it takes me to the conversation where the most recent message was sent and not the message I wanted

    Why is it that when I go to the search screen and type in a particular message I want to view, my iPhone finds it but when I click on it it only takes me to the conversation at the most recently thing texted and not the particular message I clicked on?

    Never occurred to me you can search messages that way, thanks.
    Another way to do it is to scroll from the most recent message to the top of the screen and tap load more messages, repeatedly till you reach the one you want.
      I like your method better, but with both methods it refreshes to the most recent message.

  • Using most recent version of iTunes with Iphone 5, I cannot see the phone screen on iTunes.

    I am using the most recent version of iTunes and when I connect my iPhone 5 to my Windows 7 pc, I can no longer see the screens for the iPhone in iTunes. I want to see them so I can rearrange my app icons. I see the apps but not in a iPhone screen view and they cannot be moved.

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    You CAN run 10.7, but I don't advise it, buy the 10.6.3 upgrade disk from the Apple Store online and then backup files off the machine and upgrade to 10.6.3., then Software Update to 10.6.8 would be the BEST option for your older hardware and it will run most all of your 10.5 software and be faster than 10.5 or 10.7.
    If you go to 10.7 it won't run nearly any of your 10.5 software and you will have to buy all new ones for a machine that's getting a little bit dated, near it's end of life stage. 10.7 will slow your machine down, especially with low RAM.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    At your machines stage, the hard drive is getting old, the vents are clogged up with dust and it's going to cost a bit to get the drive etc upgraded. You can if you wish, but 10.7 really needs more RAM (4GB) and a faster hard drive.
    But your still subjected to the video card going out etc.
    IMO upgrade to 10.6.8 and stay there until the wheels fall off, then buy a new 10.8 machine being released after this summer or 10.9 machine.

  • How do I edit the Screen Sharing 'Most Recently Used' files list ?

    I have recently added a mac mini to the network at home, and will be using this as a headless device. I am connecting remotely (using screen sharing) which works well. I have set the Sceeen Sharing icon to remain permanently visible on the dock, ad by right clicking, I get a list of the most recently used shares.
    The trouble is, that some of theses shares no longer exist, and tghere is also some duplication.
    I would like to edit this list, but cannot find out how to do it.
    Can anyone help please ?
    Thanks
    Geoff
    PS - The same principle applies to a number of other programs that retaim n MRU lst on their dock icon - how can these be edited.

    This doesn't apply to me anymore.

  • Where can I find a document after upgrading to the most recent OS on my iMac?

    I upgraded my OS yesterday on my iMac and now I can't find the most recent version of an Excel document.  I saved it as recently as yesterday when making changes but the document that shows up is from 9/10.  Any ideas where I might find it?  I've already done a search, etc.

    Command-f (Apple-f) will open a find window-click to find everything modified yesterday.

  • While doing the most recent firmware upgrade, my iMac hung on the spinning ball. The instructions said "not" to turn off power during the process, so I don't know what to do. The ball is still spinning.

    If you tried resetting the ipod and it still keeps having the same issue you described, try setting the ipod to disk mode.
    Here is an article from the apple support website on setting the ipod to disk mode.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If you can get the ipod into disk mode, connect it to the computer and rrestore the ipod using itunes.
    if the ipod will not go into disk mode, you can return the ipod or set the ipod up for service via the apple ipod service depot.

    It's possible that you need new drivers from HP, in order to be compatible with OS X 10.8.3. Looking at HP website, they haven't released new drivers since last November. You might need to wait for new drivers or contact HP to push for an update.
