Screen on 20" Imac...a few issues

Hi,
I see a number of notes about screen issues on 20" new intel iMac...I've had few issues so thought I start a new thread...First, I had the buzzing when brightness was all or most all the way up...Brought it into a authorized Mac repair place and they replaced the video (inverter or card or?)as well as the screen...not sure why they replaced the screen honestly...Now I've noticed a few new issues. I first noticed that my desktop background was visible, a little dimmer but visible, on the top apple bar that should be just white with black menu items...And I have also noticed some rainbow color effects on some black type that really is disturbing as I do a lot of Word processing, depending on the angle this is better or worse or the black type appears a little blurred on some letters...Since then, I've read about 'gradient' problems and many complaints with the 20" monitors...I didn't take any notice of gradient issues, but now have looked a little closer and do notice big color changes if I am looking at screen from slight off center angles--where white goes to blue (up and down) or white goes to brown. (right and left). So after owning many macs over the past 15 years, I've never been disappointed with a screen, but surely am now...I have a mac mini with an inexpensive 19" lcd screen (Princeton brand) that doesn't have any such color changes at all...I was too late to call Apple tonight but will in the morning...Wonder if any folks have any suggestions/ideas...Honest, I'm curious if I can return or get a trade on this if the problem is widespread....Will Apple take a return...and is it better to bring to Apple Store, or to mail to Apple...I had brought it to a local reseller as the nearest Apple store is over an hour away...Thanks for any guidance.

Hello rickame, I've got the fix for your issue with the Menu Bar, goto System Preferences then Desktop & Screen Saver, at the bottom you will see a checkbox for Translucent Menu Bar, unclick it and you will have a solid Bar. Sorry but I dont have a fix for the Screen gradient problem, I have the 20" iMac and love the display myself (coming from a 15" dell display, you can see where I'm coming from).
Hope this helps, Steve...

  • Indesign CS6 - 8.0 on iMac 10.9.1, a few issues that may be connected, Shutting down & PDF Issues

    Indesign CS6 - 8.0 on iMac 10.9.1, I have a few issues that may be connected:
    1. My computer shuts down goes to a black screen then restarts on its own.
    2. My InDesign will crash when I am working and there doesn't seem to be a pattern it just happens sometimes.
    3. I have an InDesign file that all of a sudden now takes 30-40mins to PDF 50 pages, I think there may be an issue with fonts but I am not sure, none of the other files take this long.

    Thank you so much for responding Bob, I tried to update but when I tired I get a message "Contact Administrator if you wish to apply updates on your machine, Updates have been suppressed by the administrator...". I actually have admin rights and I called in my IT guy, he could not get it to update. The Application Manager says I have all current updates. Am I suppoes to update using "AdobePatchInstaller"? Is there a manual way?

  • New iMac, few issues

    Hello All.
    I've just purchased a new iMac and I'm having a few issues with it, I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can fix them, I've tried doing all of the latest software updates but the issues still prevail.
    1) CMD+TAB
    When I use CMD+TAB about 70% of the time, the Application Switcher doesn't show, but it switches Applications successfully.
    When the Application Switcher does show; half of the time only some of the Applications I have open are visible, if I CMD+TAB again straight after a different random selection of Applications are shown.
    2) Quick Look.
    If I use space to quicklook in the Finder, I can never close the window, neither the X icon or hitting space again will close it.
    3) Displays Control Panel.
    Won't open, the title bar says 'Loading Displays..' but it just freezes.
    4) Photoshop CS5
    Very unstable (have updated to newest version).
    5) Random finder stuff
    Sometimes Finder windows just go white, completely blank, I can still drag them around and right click them and the correct contextual menu comes up for that part of the window but it is still white.
    There are lots of other things too, these are the most annoying so I've kept it to the most annoying, especially the CTRL+TAB thing.

    You can take it to any Authorized Apple Service center. But if you have an actual Apple Store handy, that would be far preferable.

  • The screen of my imac always goes to the maximum exposure. Then the light icon on the screen. After reducing the brightness goes my screen after a few minutes back to the maximum intensity with the brightness icon back on my TV screen.

    Try resetting the SMC and if that doesn't work then reset the PRAM too.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Weird screen pattern freezes iMac, can't boot from HD or DVD

    I woke up today to find the screen of my iMac black with a sparse pattern of bright pixels on it. I wasn't able to power down holding the Power buton so I unplugged it and left it for a bit before plugging back in. I was then able reboot without any problems. Then a few hours latter a weird pattern appeared across my screen, kind of rolling, animated in spots as seen here:
    I powered down, started it up and the screen had this pattern on it:
    It froze during startup at the point shown in the photo with the Apple logo. I powered down, unplugged, plugged back in and then tried booting up from my Snow Leopard install disc. It also froze on the logo screen. Another attempt brought up the "You need to restart your computer…" message in different languages shown here:
    I figured it was having a kernel panic so I did some searching around and followed instructions on The X Lab - Resolving Kernel Panics page and Apple's Kernel Panic Troubleshooting page. I unplugged everything but my mouse (wireless keyboard) and tried booting into Safe Mode. The screen still had the same pattern but it froze again during startup, the grey progress bar having disappeared.
    I can't boot from my hard drive or from a DVD and the pattern is always on screen when I turn the iMac back on. I can't run Apple Hardware Test. I'm stuck but I'm wondering if anyone knows what the cause might be or has any suggestions on how to fix it or even get it to boot up somehow.
    I have TechTool Pro and a large flash drive. I'm going to try creating a bootable USB drive with Snow Leopard on it from this backup computer and try to get TechTool Pro on it as well. I'll report back but I'd really appreciate any feedback on this problem.

    Some things to report. First, the night before any of this happened, I noticed the fan was running when there wasn't really any reason for it. The computer was idle, no major tasks running. I'm wondering if perhaps the videocard overheated and is causing problems. Perhaps the temperature sensors are screwed up?
    Today I got a USB keyboard hooked up and reset the PRAM. Still unable to boot but the pattern on the screen did change from the mess of b&w squigglies above to vertical bars as shown here:
    Trying to boot normally or in Safe Mode both result in the spinning wheel freezing and halting startup.
    I found powering down then gets weird. It's like it tries to turn on again but can't after a second. Or sometimes it will and the mouse lights up, I can hear the optical drive but the screen stays dark. At that point I need to unplug and try again.
    I tried booting from Snow Leopard install DVD during one of these weird cycles and could hear it trying to access the optical drive but I don't believe it even got to the chime stage.
    I attempted booting from the install DVD again after unplugging. No luck there but instead of a frozen spinning wheel, it brings up the "You need to restart message…". Other methods don't do this.
    Still at a loss to find a reason for this but it appears to be a hardware problem, no doubt the video card based on the screen issues. Does any of this shed any light on what the problem is or (even better) how to fix it?

  • Yellow tint! the 3rd Screen of my iMac 27, it's getting worse and worse...

    Hi everyone not sure if there is anything more i could do with this, I have a 2010-13 week iMac, it came with a 'bearable' yellow tint problem from the beginning, after a hard drive failure i had to send my iMac back to Apple care, i was hoping the screen problem had been solved so I asked them to replace my screen as well, it came back with a worse panel showed much larger area of yellow tint...
    Then I decided to wait for a few months until a week ago before my holiday i called for another exchange, was hoping for a perfect screen after my holiday, now holiday is over and iMac is back, just right after I pressed the power button, the start up screen with apple logo clearly tells me that i have got a even more disgusting panel - the worst of all i have to say, a new uneven shadow line on the bottom plus the usual yellower tint spreads over the middle of the screen, oh yes, they decided to make it even worse, a big dead spot as well in the corner ....
    after a few hours, when i was editing a photo in Aperture, I have discovered something even more disturbing, from right edge of the screen inwards there is around 8cm wide vertical band shows obvious brighter tone than the rest of screen...
    I do a lot of black & white photography plus a lot 3D graphic work, for a while I had tried to live with the yellow issue until it got really frustrating - now i have to once again arrange an exchange as this one is just unbearable!
    Is this really Apple? Hard drive failed after a year and this is the 3rd screen of the iMac, and it just gets worse...
    I wonder if there's anyone who had the luck to get the yellow screen replaced by a decent one?

    Are you talking about a mid-2011 iMac or a 2010 iMac?
    As it seems, the issue of color inconsistency of the iMac display is far from solved. Yellow tint, uneven brightness, light-leaks are very easily found even of newer models. I have a two-week-old mid-2011 27-inch iMac that I tried to replace for a new one because of yellow tint issue. It turned out that the replacement iMac had a worse screen... So I kept the first one. Not sure if the right thing to do is just get the screen replaced. It seems users have done it with no success...
    So, I guess these problems are structural on the iMac line. They seem very much to be omnipresent. And I don't see Apple offering a genuine/trustworthy solution through its in-warranty support.

  • Few issues with BI 2004s

    Hello there,
    I am having few issues with BI 2004s system. It’s a new implementation.
    -         When you create Data source using DB connect in new system, it creates with old version. I could see the SMALL square box next to the Data source. I would expect the system to generate new 2004s datasource.
    -         Obviously the generated D/S won’t allow us to create New Transformations. We have to create old transfer rules/update rule. I do see the option to migrate the D/S when I right click on it. But I get short dump when I try that and then you have to discard the D/S and create new one.
    -         Also, it won’t allow you to delete the DBConnect D/S although you have option to do that?
    Anyone has faced these issues?
    Performance issue with reporting:
    I understand that you have to have portal in order to execute reports which we don’t have at this client. They don’t have time and money to invest right now. So we have created reports using BW 3.5 BEx Q.designer/WAD to run the reports on web. The report takes long time when you try to drill down on Material/Customer with only 150,000 records in Cube. The cube has just three dimensions (two char each) and 4 key figures. Any suggestion to improve?
    Thanks

    Yes, I noticed it too and was thinking the same thing, blueaura.
    I'm sure they want to ensure the scan is reliable. I keep my screen at a lower brightness to save power, and sometimes Starbucks scanners take a bit longer for it to register.
    2) is already fixed.
    3) is a feature, not a bug. If you are updating an app you already have installed, it doesn't bother to ask you for the password. Nice!

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

  • Few issues with N120

    I got a few issues with the N120 netbook that I hope you could help me to sort out.
    1.
    First the brightness up/down keys. First I gave this fix a go.
    http://www.sammynetbook.com/plugins/for … .php?29576
    It works but its very unstable for me, sometimes it will get stuck and just turn the screen all the way down and then hang for some time before being able to turn the light back on. The icon will hang on the desktop too. Beside that it occasionally makes gnome panel freeze or really most of the time.
    Then I gave .xbindkeysrc a try from the NC10 wiki.
    #Brightness up/down
    "xbacklight +10"
    m:0x0 + c:111
    "xbacklight -10"
    m:0x0 + c:116
    That seems to work fine however it is not binded to the Fn (just binded to up/down arrow) key I am sure I am missing something pretty simple here, but....
    2.
    Wifi Fn key binding is not working. xbindkeys -k gives me -
    "(Scheme function)"
    m:0x0 + c:75
    Here I am simple not sure what "Scheme function" to use.
    3.
    I would like to blacklist the webcam just not sure what module to blacklist. I did check for a BIOS option but unfortunately there is none.

    I would appreciate if you could help me out.

    1.  My "gadget" is a basic script:
    #!/bin/sh
    # display brightness script
    # author: lswest

    command=
    increment=5%

    fi

    fi
    fi
    fi
    fi
    notify-send " " -i $icon_name -h int:value:$display_brightness -h string:synchronous:brightness
    It uses notify-osd and displays the bar/icon.  If the icon is missing, you will have to copy the notification-* svg files over from the human icon theme.  Just in case you'd like it.
    Depends what you want to do with the wireless.  You can just bring the interface down with
    sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
    Or else you can remove the module with
    sudo modprobe -r <module>

  • HT1338 White screen after updating iMac with Mountain Lion

    Since attempting to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion this morning I am seeing a white screen whenever I boot my iMac.  It appears to be unable to boot.  I left it 30 minutes with no activity on the screen before power cycling but the issue remains.  I am hearing the "power on" sound when the iMac is powered up, but it simply stays on the white screen forever, without the Apple logo that we normally see.
    I have a Time Machine backing up my iMac, but am unsure how I can restore from this as I am currently unable to get the iMac to boot.
    Can someone tell me what I can do to get my iMac up and running?
    Thanks....

    Hey guys...
    Just posted this potential solution over in the forum Clinton mentioned. Not sure if it's a proper fix, but it seemed to work for me.
    Cheers...
    Had my first experience with this just now. Shut down the MBPr for it's longest off time since getting it last week (about 6 hrs) and logged in to the BSOD.
    My go-to solution on any other MacBook has always been the PRAM reset.
    Restart your machine. Hold down CMD+OPT+P+R before the gray screen shows up (harder now than on the older, slower machines). Keep holding it down until the startup sound plays 2 or 3 times. Then release the keys and let it boot up normally.
    No idea why this works. Don't have any clue what PRAM even is or what it would have to do with all this - but it worked for me. At least this time. Maybe it won't the next!
    Hope it helps you all...

  • Black screen on my imac 24''

    Hi guys, the last week i have a problem with my imac 24" (Late 2007) AFTER 4 YEARS OF CRAZY USE WITH MUSIC APPLICATIONS. I get a black screen without an obvious reason. After many faults and crashes did the Apple Hardware Test (after 2 crashes while was testing) 3 times in a loop extented and simple mode(s) and it doesn't seem that is something wrong with the hardware. After that i did sharescreen it with my macbookpro while i was ready to connect it via firewire to see if i can read its hard disk.  I sharescreen it for the same reason, just to see if i can still read it while it goes black screen. The point is that it hasn't gone black screen for many hours yesterday and today while it's connected via sharescreen with the MBP and the firewire session didn't take place.
    Today i noticed in my library/logs lots of crash and 3 panic reporters.
    I have not lost anything and every application works like before.
    My questions are:
    Can Kernel Panic take place without a message on the screen? As i wrote i got 3 panic reporters.
    Do you think that if i'll do a format will it be a good idea?
    Can a mac work fine for hours after these faults and the problem is still the hardware?
    Thank you very much for your precious time.

    If you had a Kernel Panic when you navigated to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports you would have seen a folder for KP's. You didn't see one therefore no KP which means something else is going on.
    If you want to do an erase and install it's not very difficult however before you do make sure you have a viable backup. My recommendation is either a Time Machine backup or even better create a bootable clone using Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. IMHO it's wise to have redundant backups in the event one fails. Personally I use TM and SD on two separate external HD's.
    To answer your question yes you can erase and install from teh orginal OS X Install DVD that came with your computer. If your machine orignally shipped with 10.5.x (Leopard) that is definetley the correct DVD to use. How you do is fairly simple:
    With the DVD in the SuperDrive re-boot, when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option key and choose the DVD.
    Choose the language then select the Utilities menu and open Disk Utility. In DU select the HD on the left then select the Erase tab, make sure the Format says "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then click Erase. This will totally wipe everything off your HD!!!!
    Next exit Disk Utility and continue with the Install and as mentioned in my first post use the Setup Assistant guide to help you install and restore your data from the backup.
    Assuming you don't have a hardware issue your system should work OK. If you still have a black screen you probably have a hardware issue and should take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP to have it professionally diagnosed.

  • Magic Trackpad / iMac wake up issue.

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of a fix for the following Magic Trackpad / iMac wake up issue please?
    Basically hooked up a Magic Trackpad that was bought several months ago now and found that it works great however the 'click' functionality does not work whilst waking up my iMac. The cursor moves as it should however it's not possible to click onto either a registered account nor guest account in order to enter a password to wake-up from screensaver.
    To get around this I've had to pair-up my Magic Mouse again which is not ideal.
    A fix for this would be appreciated.
    OS installed: OSX 10.7.5.
    Thank you.

    Just my .02, but why do you want a screen save? I was told a long time ago by some engineers not to have your screen saver running. Just non essential. Me, I have none of our computers doing so. They time out and sleep in between, so the hard drives and logic boards power down, if not shut down completely.
    As for you situation, I had the same problem a while back and believed it was one or more of the apps. in the back ground. Could even be the UPS. Either re load your OS to check any corruption. And/or, check your login list of apps. and finder to see what is running without your knowledge or in the background, then closing out of open programs one by one prior to the screen saver engaging and see if it changes things.

  • My screen on my iMac 2008 goes darker in the top 1/3, readable but why?, My screen on my iMac 2008 goes darker in the top 1/3, readable but why?

    The screen on my iMac (2008) goes darker all the time in the top 1/3 of the screen.  It has been doing this for the past year.  It's readable but just.  Is there anything I can do to correct this or is it just the screen is dying?

    Either the display or graphics card is in trouble. Run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode three times back to back. If errors appear then a hardware issue is confirmed, the next step would be to take the machine in for repair. Because the machine is 6 years old now you may want to consider looking into a replacement for it. 

  • Unable to boot Z10, stuck on loading screen at 99% after a few hours.

    Hi, I am unable to boot Z10, stuck on loading screen at 99% after a few hours. I did not try to update, nor load any other OS versions.  Running a Bell Canada 10.1.  Tried to pull battery, leave phone boot for 5 hours, still stuck on 99%.  I tried plugging it in BB Link and computer will not recognize it.
