My brand new 2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 frozen to blank screen with Vertical lines.  Why! any ideas before I send back to store. Thanks

My brand new 2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 JUST straight out of the box worked for 20 minutes, long enough to sort Apple ID etc,  then froze to a blank screen with Vertical lines.  Why! any ideas before I send back to store. Thanks
ps: mavericks not installed on it yet, didn't even have chance to do anything with it!

None. Take it back ASAP.

    This shouldn't happen. Take it back since it's new.

  • How do I transfer contents of hard drive on PPC iMac G4 to a new quad-core Intel Core i5

             Although my PPC iMac G4 still works OK, I am beginning to realise the time has probably come to get a current model in order to keep up with all the advances that have happened since I bought it about 8 years ago: I will probably get the new quad-core Intel Core i5.
             As this will only be my second computer, I am wondering how I can transfer all the stuff on my hard drive onto a new computer and how easy it will be,given the apparently outdated connections on my G4 like USB 1,and possibly other things I don't know about.I am running 10.4.11.
              Any tips gratefully received.

    As Allen indicates, Setup Assistant appears automatically, since you do have firewire, the transfer should be speedy, depending on how much data are on the G4.  The firewire on your G4 is FW400, your new Mac has FW800, but you can get an inexensive adaptor that will allow the connection, since the ports are different.
    You don't need an external now, but I strongly advise getting one, with a drive as large or larger than your new Mac, you should clone/back up frequently, I use SuperDuper!  which will allow automatic backups.

  • Buying a new Macbook Pro. Deciding b/w this add on: 2.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 vs.  2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7? Is it worth the extra $250?

    Buying a new Macbook Pro. Deciding b/w this add on:
    2.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 vs. 
    2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7?
    Is it worth the extra $250?
    What's the big difference? Thanks.

    Upgrade RAM yourself through macsales.com for $60.  Use the remaining $140 of Apple's mmeory price and upgrade for $150 to hi-res (1680x1050) and anti-glare.  I never regretted that upgrade on mine.
    My humble opinion.
    Sorry ... I just did the math and that puts you $10 out of pocket ...

  • Suitable ethernet cable for my new Imac 27-inch iMac 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 and old imac 1 GHZ PowerPC G4

    I am looking for a Suitable ethernet cable for my new Imac 27-inch iMac 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 (Mavericks 10.9.4) & old imac 1 GHZ PowerPC G4 (10.4.11) for transfering files, documents, photos into my new intel mac from my old power PC imac.
    Can anyone please advise me which suitable ethernet cable would be suitable for tasks.
    Many thanks
    Niall

    Note, the iMac G4 1 Ghz only supports 10/100 base-T.  Firewire is up to 4 faster with a cable such as this one:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA833ZM/A/belkin-firewire-800400-9-pin6-pin-ca ble-2-m66-ft
    and adapted to this one:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
    http://www.macsales.com/ may offer cheaper cables.
    And since you are migrating from a G4, be sure to make your files portable to newer data formats before transferring.  Old Appleworks/Clarisworks files are not compatible:

  • HT3209 New $799 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 MINI cannot rent 1080

    I have the new $799 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 MINI and I cannot rent 1080 iTunes movie, this is silly because the cheaper $599 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5  meet the Spec to rent 1080 movies.. I didnt pay more to get less function.. What can Apple do to FIX this!!!!
    Minimum system requirements for HD 1080p1 content
    Mac system requirements for HD 1080p1 content:
    Mac OS X 10.5 or later
    iTunes 10.6 or later
    2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor
    At least 2 GB of RAM

    Since there is no option on the configuration page
    in the Apple Store it is pretty obvious that you can't.

  • The new iMac 21.5-inch Quad-Core Intel Core  i7, 3.1GHz, 8 GBSDRAM, 1 TB Fusion Drive, has Haswell processor inside ?

    I want to buy for my new office, 2 pieces of iMac 21.5-inch Quad-Core Intel Core  i7, 3.1GHz
    8 GBSDRAM, 1 TB Fusion Drive.
    I wan to be sure 100%, that this model has inside the new fourth generation Haswell processor.
    I don't find anywhere "Haswell" write in the specification.
    Please advice!

    If it is a Late 2013 model it has the Haswell CPU. Right you won't but Apple only sells the latest models on the main Mac store website and all others, last year models, get move to the Refurbished area or are sold off to Apple store or Apple authorized resellers.

  • Best RAM to buy for a 27" 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7?

    Dear all
    I'm brand new to Apple computers and would therefore appreciate any advice you can offer relating to RAM.
    I will soon be purchasing a 27" 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 complete with 2TB hard drive.
    I also plan on purchasing 2x4gb RAM sticks separately but from reviews that I've read I see that not all ram is created equally...
    Thus far I have discovered the following brands: Kingston, Komputerbay and Crucial. I would be most obliged if someone could let me know what the best brand is for the ram... I have found Komputerbay to be the cheapest but I've read a review from someone who said they didn't find it to be a good performer so that made me think it's best to pay a bit more.
    Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing your replies
    Kind regards
    Kate
    P.S. I'm based in the UK

    Dear all
    Thank you for your prompt responses - most appreciated!
    Roger, I was particularly pleased with your answer as last night (after much internet research) I decided to go with Crucial... They were also offering a 10% off 'one day only' discount which seemed too good to miss! I purchased the RAM for a good price: £198 including discount for 2x4gb sticks - the same RAM averaged £250 on Amazon.
    I will be ordering the iMac on Friday. Doubtless I will be back online thereafter to clarify that I have installed the RAM correctly; I haven't ever installed RAM before but given how easy it looks and the cost savings involved I thought I'd have a crack at it!
    In total I will be running with 12gb RAM - no idea whether I actually need that much or not but I'd rather buy the best of everything from the outset so that I don't need to tweak things at a later date... Also thought a high amount of RAM would be advantageous given the screen size etc.
    Again, thanks to you all.

  • Intel Core 2 Duo -- Quad-Core Intel Core i7

    I am a first time Mac user and a friend of mine was getting rid of his iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, never been opened, brand new out of the box, sold it to me for $1100.00. So being that I'm going to school for Graphic Design I jumped at the opportunity to own the iMac. Now that I've been using it for the past two months, and am in love with it. I'm wondering if it's at all possible to instal a Quad Core Intel Core i7 processor? Being a PC user since the stone age I understand the in's and outs of doing it the PC way. With a MAC though I have no idea how it works, or if it's even plausible. Would I have to take it to "Area 51" to have them do it? Or would I have to fork over the extra cash to buy a new 27" iMac Intel Core i7. Which I know the wife will be thrilled to hear....
    Any help would be appreciated.

    In your case, the point may be mute. Apple usually starts the warranty period when the Mac is shipped; when you buy from an authorized reseller and then register the product, the warranty period is then started on your purchase date. However, buying it from a private party is different - the original date prevails. You might want to just try this: go to the Apple site and enter your serial number - it will then display any warranty info:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    My personal choice is to get the Applecare; it includes 3 full years of phone support as well as repair/replacement coverage and, if you live within 50 miles of an authorized service provider, you can ask for in-home service at no charge (if the problem has been identified via phone support) - to me that is, indeed, priceless. My previous iMac had a faulty USB port (a minor thing); since that is part of the logic board though, the entire thing was replaced in my home free of charge (I've heard the usual amount for a logic board replacement is close to $800 or more).

  • Gray screen at startup 27" 2.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 ?

    My one week old iMac 2.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5. first started problems by not goping to sleep even when I forced it.
    I shut it down using the shut off button and unplugging it from power for more than 5 munites.
    I turned it back on, it does the usual startup chime and then gray screen. I have restarted twice from the shot off button and still getting the same result.
    Please can someone share a solution to this?
    Thank you

    Since it's brand new, contact Apple support via phone. You can read these Apple notes too:

    Sure. Make sure that you buy the RAM specified for your computer - 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs - and purchase from a reputable dealer such as Crucial, OWC, etc.
    You can go to the Crucial website and use the System Scanner app to get the correct RAM for your unit.

  • 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel core i7     WILL IT WORK WITH FCP?

    I am planning on purchasing the new IMAC 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel core i7 27" screen for work with FCP. The requirements to install FCP state in relevent part:
    ATI or NVIDIA graphics processor (integrated Intel Graphics processors not supported).
    Does this mean that the 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel core i7 27" screen will NOT OPERATE FCP. I know that the Quad-Core Intel i7 is an upgrade for the system should I stay with the basic NVIDIA graphics processor?

    I understand there is a difference between the "graphics cards" and the Processor and Memory?
    Graphics Cards:
    27-inch model with dual-core processor, one of the following:
    ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory
    ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
    27-inch model with quad-core processor:
    ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
    I am going to purchase the quad-core processor which will come with the ATI Radeon HD 4850 processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
    The Processor and memory according to Apple Specs are as follows:
    27-inch models only, one of the following:
    2.66GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache; Turbo Boost dynamic performance up to 3.2GHz
    2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache; Turbo Boost dynamic performance up to 3.46GHz; Hyper-Threading for up to eight virtual cores
    I would like to purchase the 2.8GHz quad-core Intel core i7 processor
    This is where my concern is when FCP says (integrated Intel graphics processors not supported)!
