    My iMac is very picky about any dirt or smudges on the DVD.

    Open Applications and the the Utility folder and then Keychain Access app. In there you will find all the usernames and password that have been saved. For some reason it is not saving those passwords and or not using the ones that have been saved.
    This is fairly common with Mac OS X as it happens for no apparent reason just all of a sudden.

  • How can I get my iMac to be the primary screen again?

    Hi everyone!!
    A couple days ago I was watching a movie on my tv, which is my ''external monitor" for my iMac. I used VLC and it was full screen on my tv, I never had any problems with it. After the movie ended, I couldn't get my iMac screen to work. I restarted, and it flashes a white screen and it does make the apple startup sound. Also everything seems to be working just fine. When I hook it up to my TV, I can use my tv as the ''main monitor" but my iMacs screen remains black. (I have it in mirroring mode now) When I restart by pressing the on and off switch, I do get a flash of my current screen, but it fades to black quite soon after. Even if I wake my iMac up, it shows me the log in screen for about half a secodn and also fades to black. So it's not the screen itself that has any issues.
    I think I accidentally clicked something in the display settings, but I have no idea how I can get my iMacs screen to work again. Does anybody know how to get my iMac back to functioning as a primary monitor? When I unplug the thunderbolt cable, it doesn't switch back either.
    I already tried dragging the apple top bar from one screen to another, but it doesn't work. When I reset the PRAM, it does restart, but right after I hear the second chime the screen still remains black and it boots like it did before, still no functioning iMac screen.
    Thanks in advance!

    The screen is all black, so it's not the backlight. It's weird because when I get the computer off of sleep mode, it shows the log in screen really quickly. So my LCD isn't broken either. It just switches back to the wrong resolution I guess. Which makes the screen black again.

    Hi
    My Powerbook was the same. Only fix is to reinstall OSX from the install CD but be sure not to pick the Format and install clean. Once you boot with the install CD pick the preserve user data and settings.
    On My machine the reinstall looked perfect. My network, email, files and all the programmes were all there. Most apps worked fine but Adobe CS2, Virtual PC and NetBarrier all needed reinastallation as they reported a few files or registration was missing. I went for the 10.4.3 upgrade again and it worked fine.
    Good luck

  • How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

    How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

    My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.

  • How do I get the iMac to display thumbnails and not an icon of jpeg photos?

    Hi folks,
    I just purchased my first Mac, an Imac. I was browsing through a folder, using Finder, containing photos files from my latest trip.
    Under Windows, I used to tell Windows Explorer to show thumbnails of the photos.
    How do I get the iMac and Finder to show the thumbnails? It only wants to show a silly jpg icon which doesn't tell me much about what the photo looks like.
    Thanks.

    That was quick!
    I have a folder of JPEG photos on my HD. This folder was created over a year ago when I was using Panther.
    When I open it and select "Show View Options" I get a different window with options like "Date Created" and "Date Modified" etc.
    There is no preview option or a slider to alter the icon sizes - merely a choice of large or small icons.
    Ian.

  • How can I get my imac to get valid ip numbers?

    how can I get my imac to get valid ip numbers?

    Try renewing you DHCP Lease, click on your system preferences and then click network.  Select your ethernet connect on the left then click the advance button, when the windows opens make sure the TCP/IP tab is selected then click the Renew DHCP Lease, wait a few minutes and then check your IP address.  Also check you DNS by clicking on the DNS tab and taking a look at you DNS servers then should be the same as you other computers. 

  • How can I get my IMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner?  It prints!

    How can I get my iMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner?  It prints!@

    I had a similar problem right after the first update to 10.6.7, which happened to quite a few people.  It took a couple of software updates and then an HP printer update to fix it.  So make sure that all your software updates are up to date.   Mine is an older printer: C6280 All-in-one but scans fine now that my mac recoginises it.  You might want to check on the HP site also.
    It was really frustrating because it had worked fine before.

  • How can I get my iMac to show videos, such as those on YouTube, again?

    How can I get my iMac to show videos, such as those on YouTubes, email, AOL, and others, again.

    OK. What happens when you try?
    Have you updated your Flash to the latest video? Worth trying again, just in case you haven't.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Click Install Now, download, and run the installer from your Downloads folder. Make sure you install it all the way (it'll ask you to quit Safari). Then re-launch Safari and try the video sites again. If that doesn't work, download and run Firefox, and try there - let us know if one browser works and one doesn't.
