I just bought my New imac 27 inch and am facing this kind of prblm... small black dots everywhere

You have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support with any new Mac. Give AppleCare a call immediately. In addition your screen shots cannot be seen, in order to take a screen shot Shift - Command - F4 and capture the portion of the screen you want. Then use the camera icon in the reply box to this post to attach the file and place it where you want.
Edit: I see you removed the shots now, try again using the instructions above.

Can I still get help for known screen problems on my 2006 iMAc 17 inch?

In 2010, I took in my little-used iMac 17 in Intel core duo for a screen replacement with a serial number W8602 etc with an Apple-approved dealer in London as I was working nearby.
The iMac had begun to show vertical lines, such as those many who had this model report, which apparently have to do with a chip problem. However, I didn't know that at the time, and neither diod the repairer - they replaced the screen, which within a few months started to go wrong again.
My partner got ill so I did nothing about it, as I'd moved away from London and couldn't easily access the reapirer, but now the machine is totally unusable.
I'm furious at Apple, and at their repairer, I had Apple Care at first with this machine but of course, as the machine had light use, the problem didn't show up for a long time.
They should have issued a recall of this machine, but I guess they were hoping it would go away as Mac people upgrade more frequently. But I think something you pay £1000 for should las the course.
Is there anything I can do now?
Thanks

Hello Alex,
We're just other users here, & I don't consider it likey, but if AppleCare can't help, ask to speak to customer service, also, no idea on EU consumer laws that I hear are a bit better than over here.

Try installing either one of the two; one of the modules is likely faulty. If so, contact the seller.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please. I've already tried a lot of your suggested fixes, but without success. Why hasn't Apple Fixed this?

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Using new iMAC 27 inch as a monitor for Macbook Pro/Air

Can the new iMac 27 inch be used as a monitor? If so, while it's being used as a monitor connected to a macbook pro/air, will the iMac USB ports work and the camera for facetime? Planning on using the laptop in clamshell mode and stored away.

The new 27-inch iMac can be used as an external display for other Macs with Thunderbolt (Early 2011 and newer MacBooks Pro, and Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
As far as I know, you can't use the camera (I may be wrong), but you can use the USB ports only for the iMac, not for the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. If you want both features, you have to buy the LED Cinema Display or the Thunderbolt Display

Hard drive issues with new imac 27 inch empty space being eaten up

Hi There
I have been having a strange problem with my new imac . Ever since i got it the hard drive has been making sounds even when i have not been using the computer . It sounds as if it is loading a file . I looked at disk activity in activity monitor and it showed that the disk was being written to every few seconds . Then out of curiosity I did a get info on the disk and happened to notice that every few seconds approximately 500k gets written to the disk .
Can I some how track these writes , to determine which process is causing them?
Can't imagine it being a virus since it's been happening since i took it out of box .
Any ideas ?
Thanks for the help
Mrfish

If your machine is brand new, it could be Spotlight indexing your drive. If so, it's nothing to worry about and it will subside soon.
Here is some info about Spotlight that goes beyond what's available in OS X Help:

New iMac 27-inch: 3.4GHz Periferal questions

I am considering this new iMac, 27-inch: 3.4GHz. I have a late 2009 mac pro 8 core 2.26GHz with 6GB of Ram and is loaded with SATA hard drives. I have a lot of video on the HDs and want to see if
1. is an inexpensive way or a JOB array so I can access my data via dual thunderbolt.
2. I have a FW800/ESATA 1TB external drive that I want to access.
3. I also have a 30 inch cine display from 2006
4. Finally if have a Presonus FW800 Firestudio that I need to interface
I know this is a lot, but is there an all in one thunderbolt to FW, ESATA and monitor adapter.
I also want to know if anyone can speculate on how much faster this new iMac will be compared to my 2009 mac pro. I am not ready to pay the money for the new Mac Pro, because I don't of a lot of video editing any longer and read a review that the iMac can handle so pretty heavy video editing.
Thanks in advance.

Daisy chain the two FireWire 800 devices and connect them to one Thunderbolt port with this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r?fnode=51
Then find the correct adapter for your display(I don't know what the cine display uses or I'd link to it) and connect it to the other thunderbolt port.
Seems easy to me but I may be missing something?

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:

Does the new iMac (27 inche) have thunderbolt in-put?

Im planning to buy the new iMac 27 inche, and I'm wondering if you can use it to play ps3, Xbox 2013, bluray player ext... With thunderbolt to hdmi cable!

I believe the source of the video needs to also have a Thunderbolt port, so it goes from a Thunderbolt port to the iMac's Thunderbolt port.

New imac 24 inch unresponsive after leopard upgrade

I have installed leopard on all of my family's computers. My new 24 inch imac has become unresponsive after being on for about 24 to 36 hours. The only way to regain control is to hold in the power button for a few seconds and restart. The other computers in the family including a macbook pro, a G4 mirrored drive and an old ibook do not exhibit this problem. The imac is the only computer running time machine so I am wondering if this is what the problem is. I guess I can deactivate time machine and see what happens, however I like the time machine backup. Any thoughts?

Apple acknowledges there is a freezing problem with new 20" & 24" iMacs, most likely caused by the video drivers they shipped with. Apple released an update just today that MIGHT be the fix for the problem. Go to Software Update in your system preferences and download it now.
I had the same problem with my 24" iMac. It would lock up specifically when I was browsing a lot of photos through Preview. I installed the update and tried to replicate the freeze, but it didn't reoccur. Apple wasn't very forthcoming on what the update fixed, but I'm hoping that is it.

Problem with brand new Imac, please help

I was suggested that it would be best for me to post this topic here in this forum.
Hi I am new to Mac, I had just gotten my 17" imac isight last week, for the most part i am very happy with it. But last night I was having some troubles with it. I had been online and was using Firefox as my browser....I went on one website and all of a sudden my mac froze up, the cursor changed to a spinning colored pinwheel and i couldn't click out of the page at all. In the upper right hand corner of the webpage which i didn't notice when i originally went on it was a message saying "you've been owned noobie"....my only guess was that this person's page had been hacked.
I tried manually shutting down the imac, when it came back on I could not do anything. Firefox and Safari kept shutting down, and even when i tried going into System Peferences it kept closing on me. I tried shutting down at one point and the computer seemed like it was still on, the light in the lower right hand corner was going in and out. I tried starting up again and could not get onto the desktop, it was stuck on the blue screen. I tried holding the power button down in the back for a few seconds and i took the power cord out from the back for 30 seconds, after that it seemed to work fine.
I am afraid that this may happen again, right now everything seems fine....has anyone else experienced this issue or has any insight on it? Is it a hardware problem or simply a bad webpage?
I appreciate any help that you guys can give me!

Brand new iMac 24 inch does not start

I went to best buy and bought the 24 inch 2.66 GHz iMac. We loved it when the apple guy gave us a demo. I brought the brand new iMac home and set it up. Pushed the power button - IMac does not power on. Tried diff options like changing plug socket, extension cord, removed and replaced power supply from back of iMac, but didnt work.
After an hour, I took the thing back to Best buy and they replaced it with a new one. Now this new one started right away and we really love this computer. Browed until late night, put it on sleep before going to sleep. Woke up in the morning, checked email and did some more browsing before I put it back to sleep and went to take a shower. After I come back and try to turn it ON, it wont turn ON. No matter what I did except this time I did not remove the power supply from the back of the Mac.
I called in for apple support as I was extremely concerned. The support guy asked me to hold the power button for 5 secs and try to power it back again. Nothing, didnt work. Next he asked me to remove all connections as well as the power supply from the back of the Mac and then turn it on. Lo and behold, came back up.
I asked the support guy as to what the heck is the problem and if this type problem has been reported earlier - he said he cannot comment on that. I really like this computer, but I am concerned as to its reliability. Anyone had similar problems? What was the problem and what did you do?

What the guy did was have you reset the SMC, the System Management Controller. It controls things like startups, shutdowns and sleeping.
Is the iMac plugged directly into a three prong wall outlet or are you using an extension cord or a cheat adapter? If you are using an extension cord, then it needs to be a proper three pronged utility cord and not a simple cord with a cheat adapter.

I will be buying the new IMac 27 inch in December. Would like input on the best configuration for photographic and possibly video processing-dream machine!

Just to explain what I just wrote to Laundry Bleach:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?
