Hello all my 1.5 yr old imac has a screen getting drk from lower lft corner annd is creeping across screen apple care ended i paid 3500 for this machine and im a graphic designer pls help

hello so i am a coolege student who saved for a decked out 27 inch imac for graphic design this was my first apple purchase ever 3500 bucks and the screen is slowly going b dark on lower left side to half way across screen i am broke and apple care is out is this really how long an apple lasts i cant get any help at all anyone know what to do or since jobs is gone is apple just garbage now?  anyone anyone

I'd ask Apple to honor your expired apple care as this is a known issue with the 27" imac. I had the same problem with mine.
And no... typically, macs last a long time. I have a mac book pro and an old swivel display; both are still working great. This seems to be a lots issue of bad parts.

  • After a travel abroad I have forgotten to activate wifi, and  I have got the message telling that I have not done any backups for 2 weeks on my iPad. It is impossible to get rid of this message and do the correcting actions. pls help

    Any ideas how to get through this problem?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use your device again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and make a backup. The device will be backed up when it's plugged to the charger and connected to your network

  • How do I erase all the data on an old imac?

    How do I erase all the data on an old imac, so I can safely sell/give it away without any personal information on it?

    Boot with your original install discs, launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select the HD, erase, reformat, and zero out the data. Once that's finished, reinstall the OS and on first boot quit the installer and shutdown the machine. Give the original discs to the new owner and when they start it up, they'll experience the first time Setup Assistant. Since it's not a new machine, there should be nothing associated with Lion or ML to muck things up.

  • Graphic Designer needs help.

    Good evening.
         Not sure where to post this but I'm a Graphic Designer and I'm wanting to design and make those cool vinyl designs that people put on there Apple products. Does anyone know or know where I can get the measurements for all the Apple laptop and iPad models? Mainly the area where the Apple logo is. MacBook Pro 13,15in, Apple air and iPad. And even the size of the Apple logo itself. Is it the same size on all devices? I tried looking online but couldn't find anything off the bat. Hopefully the good people on the forum might know more about this. Thank you.

    The PDF below shows iPad dimensions, but the file is 10.8 MB so may take some time to load:

  • HT204088 hello there, this is really urgent i would like to ask if there is a way to deactivate/lock my Mini Ipad because it was stolen, i hope you can provide me a way to do so, thank you for the support and i really hop you can help me, i bought this mi

    hello there, this is really urgent i would like to ask if there is a way to deactivate/lock my Mini Ipad because it was stolen, i hope you can provide me a way to do so, thank you for the support and i really hop you can help me, i bought this mini ipad not too long ago.

    Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating and/or remotely wiping it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you haven't already done so then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model you should also contact your carrier.

    My four year old iMac has developed horizontal lines and gradations of gray over the last month. Is my machine on its way out? Is there anyway to fix the display?

    If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.

    So the bottom line is, you've run into Activation Lock. You have no options other than to get those original credentials. (I have to admit I did not read your too-long story) You don't need his password, he just needs to log into icloud.com with his credentials and remove the device in question from Find My iPhone.

  • 3 month old iMac has slowed down considerably after installing ML

    I bought my iMac 3 months ago and installed Mountain Lion last night. Now everything on my Mac has slowed down considerably. From opening the System Settings to opening a page in Safari.
    I have MS Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint installed and also VMware Fusion.  I have software (CorelDraw) that only runs on Windows (the one I have) therefor the virtual harddrive.
    Is this what is causing the problem? If so, how can i uninstall ML to get my computer back to it's previous state.
    I am very new to Mac so I don't quite know where to go and how to fix it.

    I was just about to write the same problem, but I don't have VMware; my laptop is late 2008 was running Snow Leopard (uptodate version).
    I've scientific softwares so probably would require a clean re-installation of ML. I MUST MENTION HERE that those software which were written for PPC will NOT work on ML. Just found out that one of my important softwares version won't work on ML; need $500  to upgrade that software .
    Therefore, I'd also want to know how can I go back to SL.
    I'll let you know how clean re-installation has worked.

  • Ever since upgrading to 10.8.4, iMac has problems after waking up from sleep

    Finder windows are blank and non responsive, with spinning beachball...try to restart Finder, endless beachball...I didn't have this problem at all with 10.8.3...Help!!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
