Screen issue with imac

I just got today a brand new i7 and as always I noticed that the screen has a yellowish edge, I am not satisfied with it , and I think that a computer that costs more than 2000$ should be perfect, I love mac but recently they are failing to deliver the right quality...

I agree Beddo, my thoughts exactly.
I guess you've also read the difficulties I'm having with Apple and their local retailer...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2628773&tstart=0
I actually had to post this twice ... it was pulled from the forum the first time. So I've reposted and so far it had remained, although I changed it setting to "not a question"
I'm really quite ****** off with Apple. A repair that should've been done in less than a week has now gone on for almost 3 months. I don't believe I now have to take this to court, for something so trivial (trivial for Apple). A great way to treat a disabled pensioner with a severe chronic anxiety condition :/
Oh well, it's their loss more than mine.

  • Screen Problems with iMac G5 20" (iSight)

    Hello!
    I had the same problem with my iMac G5 20" (iSight) as described by Bob North Apr. 18, 2006 at http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/imacg5/topic2276.html#apr25:
    """" I repair Apple products, and recently I've seen strange and erratic display problems with the G5 flat-panel (iSight) 17" and 20"...and I am very curious about the origin. The picture will display what I will call "plaid pixles". Upon boot, the dispaly appears normal, but within 5-10 minutes, either at desktop or in ASD, the normal display will "crash" to the "plaid" display. The desktop, or whatever, can still be distinguished in the background, but it is overwashed by the plaid patterns -- which do change slightly, and also cover the full space of the screen. I've seen different scenarios, 3 in 2 weeks, where the symptom is exhibited with no particular failure pattern -- both before and after repair. I've replaced the main logic on one occasion, with no fix...but the 2nd try replaced both display panel and inverter. The display issue was fixed, but the system exhibited lockups only when it reached the destop. Another repair the same issue was seen after replacing the 20" main logic, where the symptom was not present previous. Personal opinion of the late 2005 IMAC flat-panels, in the hardware sense, is the likelihood of component manufacture issues, possibly the main logic boards or the panel displays themselves. Repair of this model, as opposed to the earlier, non-iSight flat-panel 17 and 20" models are extremely difficult -- access to main componenets is blocked by the display panel, which must be removed for each troubleshooting attempt. The internal hardware design is not oriented for repair ease...they are by far the most difficult to work on.
    Any input regarding the display issues? Thanks.""""
    I can't use the mouse or anything else, and after a while the fans start to go on max. This is the second time I encounter this problem within 30 days. What I have noticed is that the day before, the brightness of the screen started to "blink" slightly -- like if the screen tried to adjust itself.
    But I haven't experienced what Bob North describes as the: "Upon boot, the dispaly appears normal, but within 5-10 minutes, either at desktop or in ASD, the normal display will "crash" to the "plaid" display".
    I just restart with the power button and everything is working OK. I made an Extended Hardware test without any problems detected.

    Does it look anything like this?

    My nearly 3 year old Titanium PowerBook G4 just did this one day, out of the blue. The problem went away after a few minutes, but I had already taken photos. Thanks to those photos, Apple gave the powerbook a new logic board.
    (This PowerBook has had its logic board replaced twice, a new optical drive, and a cracked case edge replaced. AppleCare has more than paid for itself. Despite the occasional problems, I remain very happy with this machine. I'm sure I'd be much less happy if I had not bought AppleCare!)

    Do you have AppleCare? If so, have you contacted them? If so, outcome?

  • Are there any known compatibility issues with iMac and Google Chrome?

    Does anyone know of any compatibility issues with iMac and Google chrome. A Facebook friend who is a photographer posted recently that Chrome had ruined his iMac. He stead that it ran an update on itself that made safari and chrome unusable - slow running overall. In the end he had to reinstall his OS.
    Is anyone aware of this and should I un-install Chrome off my Mac?
    Thanks,
    S.

    There is nothing official but your post will attract a variety of personal experiences.   I once loaded Chrome and found myself with the dreaded MacKeeper malware, loads of pop ups and conflicts with my system.   Part of the problem is the huge range of add ons you are tempted to  take on, many of which are not as strictly tested as Apple extensions.   I would say, unless you have a specific reason, leave it alone.   The best browser is Firefox and for Macs, Safari is OK.

  • Is anyone having any uneven or discoloured screen issues with iPad mini or iPad 4th Gen?

    Hello, in view of the fact that many users had screen discolouration issues and uneven backlight issues with the iPad 3rd Gen, I wonder if those issues have been sorted out. Has anyone here had any screen issues with the iPad mini, or the iPad 4th Gen?

    No.

  • Various Screen Problems with iMac G5 20" 1.8

    I have a iMac G5 20" 1.8 running 10.4.3 with 2GB RAM
    I bought it in July 2005 on Ebay in the UK (the previous owner bought it in January 2005)
    The Mac ran fine for months until the start of November when I started having all these problems (which many other iMac G5 20" 1.8 owners are having around the World):
    1. Screen is sometimes darker at the top than the bottom after I have started the Mac up (this sometimes fixes itself if I do a Restart).
    2. Screen sometimes starts up darker all over (in a slight pinkish hue colour).
    I have tried all the usual things that people have suggested on this Discussion Board and many other Apple Message Boards to try and sort these problems but nothing seems to fix it.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM
    I have tried re-installing the OS.
    Why was the iMac was fine for almost 6 months and then the problems started occurring?
    Was it because I installed OS X 10.4.3? Because it was around that time when the problems began
    Has anyone else managed to get Apple to fix these problems that they've been having with their iMac G5's under Apple's current iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues?
    iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues
    See this webpage:
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/
    How long did the repair take?
    Is there a risk that I could be charged for any repairs?
    My Serial Number is one of the serial numbers that is mentioned in the Repair Extension Programme

    Hi
    I have made a discovery!
    When I start up in Safe Boot Mode I don't have any Kernel Panics/Crashes or Screen Freezes, etc any more!!??
    Is this a good thing?
    Can I use my iMac in Safe Mode all the time? Everything is working and enabled in Safe Mode apart from sound and some fonts from what I have found out so far. (I read that sound won't work in Safe Mode)
    Does this mean that the problems I have been having are not Hardware problems after all and are only Software Conflicts/Issues?
    I await all your replies with interest!
    Cheers

  • Starting issues with iMac 27 i5 quad after crucial RAM expansion

    I have read through a few threads regarding issues with crucial RAM upgrades in iMacs but they don't quite match what I am experiencing.
    I have installed 2 x 2 GB Crucial RAM (manufacturer 0x80CE) in addition to the pre-installed 4GB. The iMac works fine without any glitches, freezes or crashes. However, when I try to start it up in the morning I can hear the HD starting up and stopping once. The start chime doesn't sound and the display stays black. I take out the 4GB and the computer starts up without any problems. I then switch it off again, install the other 2 RAM again and lo and behold: all works fine. Until the next morning. I do not entirely disconnect the iMac, which is an Apple refurbished machine, I just switch it off.
    The first time that happened, I thought it was another problem like USB, bluetooth etc. So I systematically disconnected and reconnected all peripherals, I even used a USB mouse and keyboard and tried to start up from the restore DVD. So I went through all that pain.
    If there is an existing thread I would appreciate if you could point me in the right direction because I couldn't find anything like this on this forum.

    Did you test all 4 modules one at time in a top slot as suggested, to see if they are all working?
    ● If any one of the modules fail to properly boot the iMac, factory or crucial then do not reinstall it into the iMac.
    ● If all of the modules individually boot the iMac, then try reinstalling the Crucial in the top slots, the factory in the bottom slots and Startup the iMac reseting the PRAM.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    +1. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.+
    +2. Turn on the computer.+
    +3. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.+
    +4. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.+
    +5. Release the keys.+
    Now then if the iMac is not booting from all 8GB of RAM, then there is a compatibility problem with the Crucial RAM and you need to contact Crucial and tell them that there Ram is not working with your Factory RAM.
    Why would you only want RAM in the bottom slots, I thought the idea here was to upgrade from 4 to 8GB?
    The article clearly states that the iMac will not boot with only 1 module in a bottom slot.

    I have an 2011 imac 3,4 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM.
    Since a few months i noticed performance issues with FCPX, where before it would run through video it shows sometimes the color ball. Now the computer is slow in starting up and shutting down also. Ran disk utility but to no avail. I am now considering reinstalling mavericks.
    But I ran etrecheck.
    here are the results, please who can help me? I use this computer to edit and about everything else.

  • Issues with iMac freezing using Mail, Safari, Chrome

    I'm having issues with my iMac freezing, forcing me to hard restart my computer each time. I think I've had to powered down via power button altleast a twenty times today and yesterday. I've restarted 4 times just trying to finish this post
    It seemed like I was only freezing using Safari at websites like facebook and youtube.com. So I switched to Chrome, which lasted a few hours until I started freezing on that as well.
    I logged on as a Guest account and they seemed to be working fine. I thought Flash may be the issue so I re-installed but no dice. I emptied cache, cleared history from each browser, etc -- no help.
    Then today I started freezing just using mail. While typing a message, auto correct attempted to correct a word and my system completely locked up from that.
    I have plenty of hard drive space, RAM isn't an issue either.
    Here's some of my system log just before one of my recent freezes:

    I don't have much experience translating any of what I just pasted, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    I uninstalled the Glims plug-in on safari, and that's seemed to cure a little bit of the problem with safari. But I'm still getting hang-ups and freezes. I'm not even noticing a pattern anymore with which apps and so forth are causing it.

  • Anyone else having issues with iMac built-in microphone?

    My mom's brand new 24" iMac (running the latest version of Leopard) keeps having issues with the built-in microphone going dead. It can be resurrected with a restart and PRAM reset (command-option-P-R), but it is kind of annoying to have to do this every time she wants to Skype or iChat. Any ideas what might be causing this? She runs a fairly clean system with few peripherals or third-party software (except occasionally an external FW drive for backups, a Blu-Ray burner [not connected at the same time], and Toast). Thanks.

    Even on restart with nothing else running, she can go into the System Preferences/Sound/Input and try testing the microphone and it is DOA. We did go through all of the prefs in Skype and they are all set right, she does try the Sound Test call in Skype to see if her audio is working and that is usually the indication that something is not right. Her broadband connection varies too much to have iChat work reliably if at all. She will be installing Snow Leopard soon, and I read that iChat only requires 300kbps bandwidth as opposed to 900kbps under Leopard so there is a possibility that there will be an alternative to Skype in the near future.
    All her updates are installed. Repairing permissions was done less than a month ago, but it is worth a try again. Also will have her fire up Activity Monitor to see if there is anything else taxing the CPU. I am 2000 miles away so it is sometimes hard to maintain this machine properly from a distance.
    Thanks for your input in trying to solve this mystery. BTW what do you think of using an external dedicated microphone? Kind of defeats the purpose/beauty of having it built-in with the iMac...

  • Notebook screen issues with green stains

    Hello:
    I currently own an
    HP G62-355DX Notebook PC
    [Personal Information Removed]
    P/N: XH068UA#ABA
    running Windows 7 64-bit
    All of sudden (not gradually) green "stains" appeared on my notebook's screen as 3 circles one around the other, sort of like a "bulls-eye" and when I try to run a program in full-screen mode the screen goes bezerk and nothing is readable. I thought it was an issue with the cable connecting the screen to the main-board but I've been told the issues would be different.
    These green "stains" or pixels affect any program running or the screen itself, even the Windows 7 starting screen and the HP logo when the notebook is turned on by making the letters on the bottom-left corner unreadable.
    After contacting HP at Peru, where I currently reside, I was told the model was not sold here and that I had to contact US support. They said that it could be an issue with the screen itself that could require maintenance at an HP office. And also told me that it was unlikely for remote support to be able to fix the issue.
    It is still not over a year before I got the notebook so I'm guessing the warranty is still available.
    Would I be required to e-mail the computer back to headquarters in hopes of it being repaired? Is it possible that it could be dealt with at your offices at Peru (I will still be residing here for quite some time).

    Better call the hp tech support at 1-800-474-6836. HTH

  • Screen Issue with HP G7000 laptop

    Hi there,
    I bought a second hand HP G7000 laptop preinstalled with Windows Vista Home Premium x86 a few days ago, the problem with it was that the screen wouldn't light up even when plugged the laptop was plugged in using the AC adapter which I also had to buy seperately as the original one was misplaced and only cost me £10 for a compatible one off the Internet, the screen wasn't shattered and showed no signs of wear and tear, I took it to my local PC repair shop for £40 in which the contacts behind the screen needed connecting back up and with a little soldering for some other parts of the repair, however when I tookit  back to my place the screen lit up fine in which I decided to perform a factory restore to make it feel like it was brand new and that it belonged to me. After restoring the laptop successfully, I noticed that a lot of stuff was a little out-of-date and decided to update it to make it compliant with the latest security fixes as well as the latest bug fixes i.e. to upgrade to SP2 etc, however upon updating and turning on the laptop every so often the display kept going funny i.e. black and white and wouldn't display anything clearly in which I had to keep forcing the laptop to shut down with using the power button in which I don't like doing as this will corrupt the hard drive eventually, however upon researching this problem on the Internet I stumbled across this forum thread http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f108/hp-g7000-screen-issue-529809.html using Google describing a very similar problem to me, the problem not only seems to be with tilting the angle of the screen but also the surface in which the unit is placed down on, I've tried various surfaces including my USB fan cooler, glass and wood and all produce various results from time to time. So I guess the answer is to place the unit down on a flat surface that isn't shiny and screen not tilting when using the laptop? I thought the purpose of a laptop was to make computing mobile regardless of what surface you place the unit  down on and what angle you have the screen at. Your feedback and suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,

    P.S. I also suspect that the problem is related to interference and lighting conditions as well as heating conditions and the battery as the battery sometimes retains its charge whereas sometimes it doesn't and have to use the AC adapter when this happens, don't know whether flashing the BIOS has helped the battery to retain its charge though.
    This question was solved.

    Hello @RocknRollTim,
    I understand that your notebook computer is experiencing an issue with the display screen as well as keeping a charge with the battery, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To further diagnose the integrity of your computer's battery, I recommend following this document on Calibrating the Notebook Battery (Windows Vista). This should help re-synchronize the battery with your notebook. 
    Because the display intermittently stays on the screen when moved a certain angle, I believe the display panel cables are defective. According to the Maintenance and Service Guide for your computer, this part can be replaced with a camera (462455-001) or without (454932-001), and can be found from the multiple vendors below:

  • Weird screen issues with safari

    Hi, I just got a refurbished 15" macbook pro...not retina, but I believe it's a 2012 model.  I'm experiencing a couple weird issues with it.  So far, they seem to be exclusive to Safari, but I'm not sure yet.  Haven't been able to recreate the same problems in Chrome or other programs.  The problems are:
    1)  When filling text into a blank or box...as in a google search, or typing a facebook message, the text I am typing will often disappear or be invisible until i move the cursur to someplace else...then the text will show up.  Words at a time can be invisible.  Like I said, so far, I'm only noticing this in Safari, not Chrome, but I'll have to test with Chrome some more to know for sure.
    2)  Sometimes portion of a page will be misplaced on the screen.  For example, if I'm on Safari, and reading a news story, the left side of the page will look normal, and the right side of the page will look normal, but they won't match in the middle....I'll be seeing text from the beginning of the article one the left side, but from the end on the right side as though only part of the page is able to scroll.  Again, this is only in Safari so far. 
    Both these issues (which I assume are related) have been happening since the first day I got the computer last week and it hasn't been dropped or had anything spilled on it or anything.  I'm well within the warranty period, but this problem may be hard to recreate immediately if I bring it in to a store, so I want to check here first and see if anybody has any ideas. 
    I'm hoping this is a simple known bug with Safari that will eventually be fixed and not a problem with my new computer.  It is enough to have me second guessing my decision to go with a refurbished model, but I'm probably just paranoid.  I'd appreciate any info that anyone has.  Thanks!!!

    I could suggest a reset, but I don't believe that will do much good.
    First, I would contact your local Apple Store, should you be near one, and see if the Genius Bar can solve the problem quickly.
    Second, if they require repairs, you can use their expertise; or, you can use iPod Juice - a business that's more competitive. The latter is where I had my repairs done; email them for fees and services.

  • Full screen issues with dual monitors in safari.

    I have my 21 inch iMac connected to my 42" panasonic LCD TV. Up until recently I've been watching TV via my sling box back in the states. (I'm a soldier stationed in Germany). When I go to a full screen mode in Safari, I get full screen in my iMac and not the TV. Even when the window is in the TV. This never happened before, it's almost as if the iMac sees the TV but makes all full screen video available only on itself rather than where ever the window may be. Safari help tells me I can choose where I want full screen by swiping on the magic mouse, but I can't get it to work. How do I get my video to stay on my TV when I double click on the video instead of having it jump back to the iMac?

    Reading your post full screen mode is working as Apple intended it to. When you set full screen mode on an app that has the ability it makes it full screen on the Mac and any other monitor is left blank while viewing that app. Currently there are no adjustments to change this. I would recommend providing feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback to let them know what you anticipated.

  • Security Issues with iMac OS X

    I thought that with previous OS X versions, the problem was bad enough when you set the 'Stealth Mode' to 'On' & the status was not reflected within the System Profiler utility. 
    Now it seems more security blunders....You're able to amend Login Items, e.g. select &/or deselect items (within System Prefs, User Accounts) without being asked to re-enter the users password or keychain password.  If someone gained access to a users computer/account (even if it was padlocked) then they're able to amend/delete/select/deselect anything in the 'Login Items' list. 
    Yet another major security blunder from Apple & I remember it took them months, if not years to resolve the 'Stealth Mode' issue with previous OS X versions.
    Since UNIX is/was meant to be one of the most powerful & secure computer operating systems, they've made it look pretty WeaK!

    Now it seems more security blunders....You're able to amend Login Items, e.g. select &/or deselect items (within System Prefs, User Accounts) without being asked to re-enter the users password or keychain password.  If someone gained access to a users computer/account (even if it was padlocked) then they're able to amend/delete/select/deselect anything in the 'Login Items' list. 
    Well duh. That's a bit like saying if someone can start your car then they can change the radio station. If a person has hacked your account to the point where the can amend the Login items list then that is not a security issue, in fact that's the very least of your worries. If they have that kind of access to your machine then they have everything, your data, your passwords, the whole shooting match. So, I wouldn't worry too much that the can remove an item from your Login list.
    So, not a security issue, not a blunder. You need to worry about something important.

  • Serious issues with iMac, black screen during erase and install-PLEASE HELP

    My sister's Intel iMac G5 seriously has been a lemon, it has had SO many issues. It's now 2 years old, and has been rather slow for the maybe the last year, but over the last month or so it has gone way downhill, and it literally takes an hour to boot up, and 4-5 minutes to do anything (open an application, look at a photo in iPhoto, etc.). So, we've been trying to "erase and install" with her install discs to hopefully give the computer a clean boot and see if it helps at all. She has already backed everything up.
    She started the erase and install last night, and it was going ridiculously slow. This morning when she woke up, the blue progress bar had gone about half way across. Then she went to get her kids ready, and when she came back in it looked like the computer was rebooting itself (gray screen with apple), but then the screen turned black and she can't do anything on it. Has anyone seen anything similar to this before?
    We have had so much trouble getting this to work (we tried an archive and install a few days ago, but it gave her an error at the end). For about a day we couldn't even get the computer to boot up at all, but then miraculously yesterday morning it booted! Please help, I've converted her to Macs but if I can't get hers fixed she may never get one again!!

    I'm afraid that it's a contradiction in terms to talk about an intel iMac G5. What your sister has is an intel machine, and she will find good advice by posting to the [intel iMac Forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1110].
