IMac Late 2013 - video card and display totally glitches

HI.
Today, something strange is happened.
Looks like the video or display in my iMac Late 2013 is totally broken. I don't know what to do now.
Teh screen is always blinking, glitch and unresponsive. Impossible to use the mouse. I can see partially only 10% of the screen with a distortion from the top of the screen..... It's annoying. imac is almost new, I've bought it and started use it from the January 2014.
The problem is - that in my country (Belarus) there are no any official apple service...
as I understood  - need to replace gpu, but gpu is an Intel Iris Pro. And I guess replacement will touch all the board.
such a problem... I hope there is a way to fix somehow?
A Little bit details:
iMac was not overheated. there was not any damages or something else. iMac is standing on the table and used maybe for a 5-8 hours in week. Without any hard load (graphic load). So this is double strange for me. Looks like factory defect or something like this.
Im very upset.

Thanks for the reply!
I've tried to unplug everything (before was plugged only a4tech mouse and HP printer), and reboot the system. Nothing helps . i've performed reboot about 10 times. Also I've tried to reset SMC (unplug power cord for 15 sec, then plug 5 sec after, cmd opt p r) so sad. I can't use apple service in my country because of lack of service at all, only unofficial... Anyway thanks for replies... I will try to find the way to transport iMac to the nearest country with an apple service.... So sad, it was never happened with me, first critical issue with an apple device.

  • IMac late 2013 headphone volume extremely low

    Just got an iMac late 2013, works perfectly and the internal speakers work fine. But once I plug in a headphone, the volume coming out is so low that with volume adjusted to max it's less than audible in an office environment. Tried VLC boost, even with that it's just about audible.
    Running latest Maverick.
    Thanks.

    Plug in the headphone.
    1. System Preferences > Sound > Output  > Balance
        Make sure that the volume slider is set at the middle.
    2. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
        Make sure that CH1 and CH2 volume sliders are at the middle and matched.

  • How to fix the mouse and keyboard freezing when installing Windows 7 on 27' iMac late 2013?

    Hi, I have a question for u guys who can solve this.
    I recently bought the new 27' iMac late 2013, and I installed some softwares and used it for few days.
    Before I bought this I used the 15' Macbook Pro Retina, I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and I used the Windows for gaming.
    So back to my question.
    So I bought the new iMac and I was tying to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (with the same CD).
    After dividing the partition, and other stuff, the iMac rebooted and I hold down the option (alt) key. I choose the Windows CD, and it said it is "getting ready to install Windows". I let it load, and the blue screen where you choose the language, time/location and keyboard input popped up. At the bottom right corner (at the same page), there is a button that said "Next (N)" which u need to click it to go to the next step. I was moving my mouse to click the button, but I realized that my mouse and keyboard was frozen. I tried both wireless and wired mouse and keyboard but they didn't work. There was nothing I could do. I hold the power button, (that was the only option) and tried my mouse and keyboard on Mac OS and it worked fine.
    I thought something went wrong in the CD so I bought the Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The result was same. It frizzed again. (I just wast few hundred $)
    Latter my friend lend me his Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. I tried it, and it worked, it didn't freezed on Windows 8.
    The problem is I played Battlefield 4, Titan fall, and Watch Dogs, and Battlefield 4 multiplayer doesn't work on Windows 8.1. Even though when it works on Windows 8, I prefer using Windows 7.
    Dose anyone knows how to fix this freezing thing?
    My computer is:
    27' iMac late 2013 (bought it just few days ago)
    I did no upgrades when I bought it, except the graphic card.
    I bought the iMac in Korean Apple Store, and my Windows CD is in Korean, can that be a problem?
    Please leave a comment when u think u can solve my problem.

    See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
    In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
    The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    Hello, Glenn,
    This forum is really intended for those who are managing iTunes U sites, not for problems with using iTunes U content, per se. You'll probably get more help if you ask in the general iTunes forums:

  • Persisting crashes with brand new iMac late-2013 27-inch (14,2)

    Please help!!!
    Last week I purchased the latest iMac late-2013 (14,2) 27 inch with everything top range directly from the Apple Online Store. My configuration in a nutshell is the iMac (of course) with wireless keyboard and magic mouse, attached to it through Thunderbolt a LaCie 5Big (10TB) external drive as well as a USB connected WD MyBook (2TB) for Time Machine and a USB3 connected WD MyPassport (2TB) for those files I want to keep mobile between my devices, all of this on OSX 10.9.1. Futher details on the hardware below:
    Model Name:          iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac14,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed:          3.5 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          4
      L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
      L3 Cache:          8 MB
      Memory:          32 GB
      Boot ROM Version:          IM142.0118.B00
      SMC Version (system):          2.15f2
    My problem is that it keeps crashing... sometimes while doing some Final Cut X or Logic Pro X but other times while simply copying files between hard disks while Time Machine is running and everything else is closed... I can't figure out what the root cause or the particular event that triggers the crashes, thus they are quite unexpected and pretty abrupt - no warning signs at all.
    I read in some of the threads that the 3rd party RAM may cause some problems but my 32Gb RAM came directly from Apple as configured while purchasing.
    Here is the latest report my system gave me and I know some of you folks are pretty good figuring out what these messages mean. I will most likely get in touch with Apple support but before I do, I wanted to check with you geniuses before I spend hours on the phone with Apple support. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Oh. You didn't 'splain that. In this case here's a suggestion for a start:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    You may want to do a hardware test to determine if there is a hardware failure:

  • IMac late 2013 keeps randomly crashing

    My new iMac (late 2013 shipped with OS 10.9.0 and updated to 10.9.2) keeps randomly suffering kernal panics and has done from the beginning. The reports keep alternating between Type 14 and 13, but today one was reported that I've never seen before (see below). The diagnostic tools tell me everything is working properly (hardware and software). I've seen discussions where they claim the issue is caused by bad RAM while others say wait for a OS update - any ideas about which mine might be?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks Linc.
    The re-install of OS X, making sure everything was up-to-date and zapping the NVRAM lasted all of 5 seconds before I got another kernel panic (see below, different one this time).
    I'm currently running in Safe Mode to see if it happens again.
    Will your Terminal command still work as intended in Safe Mode?

  • Use PCI-e video card and onboard video at same time

    This is going to be really annoying if i cant use both at the same time. I am trying to get 3 monitors running and want to use the onboard display port or vga port alongside my PCI-E video card and it seems in the bios that only one can work at a time. I am assuming this means i have to use a PCI card with my PCI-e one to get more than the 2 i have at a time.
    Has anyone gotten onboard working alongside a PCI or PCI-E card? Seems like a silly thing to not enable in the Board as businesses have a need for more than 2 sometimes.
    Any assistance would be great.

  • Mac Pro Locked Up and Now  One Video Card and Audio Not Working

    Last night, my Mac Pro totally locked up to the point I had to power it off to get it to do anything. When restarted, one of my video cards and my audio are no longer working. I have dual monitors so tried switching the connections to see if it was the monitor and that was not the problem.
    I tried doing a formal shutdown after the restart and this also did not clear up my problem.
    Everything was working fine prior to the lockup. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • Can I install a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB into the new iMac late 2013?

    Hi There,
    1)   Can a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD be installed in the new iMac late 2013 model?  (My plan is to remove the existing 1TB HDD and replace with the Samsung SSD)
    1.1)  I have heard somewhere, even though it will fit, Apple's logic board firmware will pick up the non-apple product and render the iMac useless until original hard drive is reinstalled.
    1.2)  If it will work, will I loose my warranty on iMac?  Note, the SSD will be installed by an Apple authorized workshop. 
    2)     Can 2x 2.5 sata drives be installed in the iMac? 
    2.1)  I know the iMac only has 1x SATA and 1x PCIe slot, but can one not install a PCIe - SATA converter and also a 2x 2.5 drive bay in the place of the existing         3.5" drive?
    Thanks for your assistance.
    Regards,
    asdutoit

    I checked on the Samsung website and the 840 Pro is OSX compatible and should work in your MBP.

    Sorry for the long copy and paste. I read that I can upgrade the video card and power supply. But atm when I play world of warcraft at ultra settings, I tend to lag really bad in the new instances with the new cat expansion that came out. I wanted to know if I should upgrade the video card and power supply for better performance or just upgrade my whole pc tower.  Fyi, I am running a Acer X243w lcd flat panel monitor if that helps too.

    My brother has a high end laptop with a built in, high end gaming video card (I forget which one). He's able to run the game on full-on Ultra. 
    I have an integrated video card which games the game on.. 'cartoon'.. mode. It's lower then low. When someone shoots a powerful spell at me, I go into a DOS Prompt. (not really, but it's pretty bad).
    Funny thing is, I can still kick my brother's butt in any PVP match he wants to set up. 
    But I guess his graphics are pretty....
    As for which video card works best, I'd have to do some research. After that graphics update they did with CAT,  it's kind of a toss up again.

    I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
    I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

    I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen.  The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.

  • What cable do i need for a dual monitor iMac late 2013

    Hi there
    I am wondering if I can set up a dual monitor for my imac late 2013. I'm quite new to macs so bear with me. I'm a university student studying maya (digital vfx animation) and I need desperately to hve a dual set up. My mac is the 21.5inches. What cable would I need and would monitor would you recommend that would be a good match to my mac. I can afford around £150 but cheaper the better. I am a student who is also a full time disabled single mum lol so funds are scarce.
    Thank you in advance for any help that you can give me.
    kind regards
    Kitt

    You will need the mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter cable, here.

  • Looking to upgrade the video card and power supply in the K330

    Hello, I'm looking to upgrade the power supply and video card in the Lenovo IdeaCentre K330 but I need to know if these parts will be accepted by the mobo.
    Here's the card name (no link, don't know if theres a restriction to off site links) ASUS 2GB GDDR5 DIGI+ VRM technology Graphics Cards HD7770-2GD5
    The power supply name follows: Xion High Performance 1000 Watt ATX Power Supply XON-1000P14F
    Thanks for reading, and extra thanks for a good reply

    Thanks for replying, I have looked into other PSU's and came up with this: XFX PRO750W Core Edition 80+ Bronze ATX 750 Energy Star Certified Power Supply
    Feedback? And main question is, will they both (video card and PSU) be compatible with the motherboard that come standard in the K330?
    I don't really have a need for the front panel except the power, and backontrack buttons.
    Also, the reason why I'm getting a high wattage PSU is because I might later decide to build my own PC with the upgraded parts, and put the old parts back into the K330

  • IMac (late 2013) periodically shuts down after updating to Yosemite

    I have a 27 inch iMac (late 2013, have had it 6 mos.) which I updated to Yosemite and after the update, it has just shutdown 5 or 6 times, (panic reports say 5 times). The system also seems sluggish at times... It has worked like a charm until the upgrade. I'm trying to decide whether to reinstall Yosemite -which went smoothly- or to try to go back to Mavericks. I have the System Diagnostic Reports as well as the system diagnostic test, I just don't know how to interpret the results. Does anyone have the expertise to explain what is happening? (I'm not a novice, but haven't played with unix for 18 years!)
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    I have a similar problem on my iMac 27-inch Mid 2011. No problems before upgrade yesterday to Yosemite. System settings show positive connection for wifi and ethernet. But web & mail access doesn't work for ethernet. Wifi access works only if I change service order with wifi listed before ethernet. 
    Apple phone support blamed it on my internet provider or router. However, our 2nd iMac (identical model) has web & mail access with ethernet.  The other iMac is still running Mavericks.  So the problem is clearly Yosemite. 
    I have put in a request for Apple support to call me tomorrow, & I'll see if they try the blame game again.

  • Corsair Ram for iMac late 2013

    Hi,
    I got a new iMac 27" late 2013, and bought 32GB Ram somewhere else. It's 4x8GB Corsair Mac Memory DDR3 1600MHz PC3 12800 (CMSA16GX3M2A1600C11).
    I got several Kernel Panics, but only with the Corsair Ram. Everything seems to work fine if I use the original 8GB hynix.
    Memtest shows no problems with the Corsair Rams at all...
    My questions: Am I right to suggest that the Corsair Ram is causing the Problem, altough memtest shows no problems? If yes, should I return the faulty RAMs and get the same as replacement or would you suggest different RAMs? If yes, which ones?
    Here's the Diagnostic Report from after the last Kernel Panic:
