My 4th 27" iMac, and my 4th COMPLETE DUD  :(

I've purchased FOUR 27" iMacs. All have had yellow screens, the third one also had a hard drive that CRASHED within 3 days of purchased and this fourth one has a yellow screen AND an offset Mini Displayport port. I couldn't plug in my external monitor without prying the port up and then it was a very VERY tight fit.
***? Really Apple? Last one was Week 8 2010 this one is Week 10 2010. The yellowing is minimal on my current Week 10 unit but still there.

I took a chance on a refurb i7 27".
Worked great for 4 days and then this morning it was tits up with blue and yellow squares all over the screen, yellow vertical bands and it wouldn't boot to anything other than screwy looking graphics.
I decided to take the $150 compensation and a full refund and wait until another upgrade bump.
I'm guessing that at some point they will swap in a new graphics card to address some of this.
Terribly disappointed.

  • My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

    Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
    Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

  • Help! I was downloading apps and my 4th generation froze, so I turned it off and restarted it twice. And it is just on the screen with the apple i dont know what to do. Please help!

    I was downloading apps that i deleted and my 4th generation froze. So i turned it off and restarted it and nothing happened. It is just showing me the apple screen after you restart it. I dont know what to do please help!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I'm about to take them in to the apple store because they are running bad and have them completely restored to factory settings. when I get them back will i be able to re-install my adobe creative suite to both of my computers using my same product code from when i first bought it?

    Yes. Just make sure to deactivate the license on both systems using Apple menu --> Deactivate while one of the suite programs is running.

  • We are going to Great Britain this summer.  Do we need voltage converters as we'll plug adapters for our iPads (one is 2nd generation and one 4th)

    We are going o Great Britain this summer.  Do we need voltage converters as well as plug adapters for our iPads (one is 2nd generation and one 4th)

    No. Since Apple power converter work from 110 to 240 volts, no power converter is reguired.
    You will need a pin adaprt. I have found my local Ace hardware store to have the best deal on them.

  • I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me I need a way to get rid of them

    I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me and I need a way to fix it without replacing the screen or causing further damage

    Hey Pandorafromtn, Not to rub salt in you open wounds, but prevention would have cost less than $10! Anything that will remove the scratches will most likely ruin the screen. I am aware of a product that works well for fill scratches in eyeglasses. It paints on, is kind of milky semi-transparent then drys to a haze. You then rub / polish until clear. Will it damage the coating on an iPod screen? I don't know. But may be for not, I can't remember the name of the stuff. I guess contact a eye care center, they may be able to help. Replacing the screen would be the best option you have or learn to live with it. In the future use a case and/or screen protector. Or you could start working on your incantations, "Oculus Repairus!" Don't forget the flick of the wrist to get your wand in the correct angle as you state "Repairus". All joking aside, Good luck. Cheers.

  • I just purchased an ipod shuffle (4th gen.) and  I have been working trying to get it running for hours.  I have followed all manuals and tutorial help.  When I pull up my device manager, it shows an Ipod, but won't let me download the Usb driver.

    I just purchased and IPod Shuffle (4th gen.) and can't get it running.  I have gone through all of the help available.  It shows up in my device manager, but needs a USB driver.  It will find it online, but says an error has occurred and access is denied instead of installing.  I bought this for a last minute trip with teenagers and I have spent hours on this.  I am running Windows 7 and have tried disabling the firewall.
    Help, please.

  • I am a new iPod shuffle 4th Generation user and I cannot sync the music in my Windows Media play to my new iPod, can someone help?

    I am a new iPod shuffle 4th Generation user and I cannot sync the music in my Windows Media play to my new iPod, can someone help?

    Hi Daisymae3,
    The iPod shuffle does not use Windows Media Player to sync, it uses Apple’s iTunes application, available for free from this web site -
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    See also the manual for your iPod shuffle -
    User Manual iPod shuffle
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1550/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide .pdf
    Specifically Chapter 3 - Setting up the iPod shuffle.
    iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content
    on iPod shuffle.

  • 4th gen touch and iTunes Match no longer works

    I have a 4th gen touch, and iTunes Match no longer works - I choose it in settings, and it just turns itself off a few seconds later - it worked before, and I had to restore the iPod, and it doesn't work any more.

    Hi randy_m,
    If you are having issues with your iPod touch turning off iTunes Match unexpectedly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPod -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPod as a new device -

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop elements 10 on my iMac gets hung up at 9% and fails to complete.

    I purchased an Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner which included a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.  whenever I try to install Elements 10 on my iMac, it hangs up at 9% and doesn't complete.  I am using the correct Adobe disk for Mac.  What can I do to get this program installed on my iMac.

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements, I bought recently, on my two different computers; one is PC running Windows 7 and the other is iMac running Mac OS 10.6?
    Yes, PSE is cross-platform, anyway.
    As my Adobe Photo Shop Elements 10 came bundled with the 'Trial version'  of Adobe Premier Elements 10, can I purchase the 'Serial Number' only and how to do it?
    You just buy a normal license as a download, if you so desire. This gives you a serial and a download option, the latter of which you then of course will not need and can simply input the serial in your disc install.

  • HT1339 I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and need to restore to factory settings as want to sell it; however it will not reset and when plugged into my MAC it says firmware corrupt? CAn anyone shed light on what i can do to overcome this issue?

    I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and am unable to restore it back to factory settings even when it is connected to my MAC.  I have tried the menu/select hold but is not doing anything.  When connected to the MAC and select restore in itunes it comes up with 'Firmware Corrupt'.  It also states the IPOD is up to date.  I have the latest operating system on my MAC and wonder if this may be part of the issue?
    Can anyone shed light as to what i can do to reset it back to factory settings as would like to sell it and ensure it is ready for the new owner.
    Thanks

    I think it must stand for "made of money" because this 4th generation ipad model 1460 is the most expensive.

  • 4th gen tc and wd book live work to gather?

    i have a 4th gen tc and was going to use it specificlay for backing up my macbook pro, i also have multiple pc running windows and wanted to back those up also but not on the tc because i dont want to mix them all on one back up. i saw that wd has a live book that will back up both mac and pc and will file share over the nas network. that is great for file sharing and using out of the office. i also have a netgear wireless router that i stopped using since i installed my tc. am i buying too much equipment or is the configureration going to be able to work ?

    If the strategy is network backup then there are boxes that are more capable than the TC.. that is for sure.. particularly windows does not easily work with the TC.
    How many computers are you talking about? I presume this is just a peer to peer network and you have no server??
    A NAS like the WD Livebook although very much the low end, can work..
    How much data would you be backing up on all the windows computers?
    Would using USB hard disk directly plugged into the computer be better?
    It has advantages.. no network traffic.. rather faster backup.. and being local has no issues with network problems or getting lost or strange disk formats. USB drives are cheap.. using several of them you can rotate them around the computers and have one or two offsite.
    You can also create a disk image on the TC since it has 3TB and backup each computer so you have an image even if you don't use it as regular backup location.
    If you run a business.. and computers and data are vital to it..
    1. You should be paying somebody to do this.
    2. If you don't have a specialist on staff or contractor.. be as paranoid as you can be.. Your data is your business.. lose it and lose your business. If a computer out means a staff member sits and fiddles their thumbs.. or sweeps the floor.. have redundancy for everything. It is cheaper than staff doing nothing.

  • How can i get my music off of my email to my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPod 4th gen?

    How can i get my music off of my email to my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPod 4th gen?

    Find an app to which you can save the attachment and which also uses file sharing
    iOS: About File Sharing
    or similar to get the music into your computer. Import into iTunes library and sync to the iPod. There is no direct way to get music into your iPod Music app besides purchasing  from iTunes or syncing from your iTunes library
    GoodReader should work but I do not think it is available for the 2G
