Some clicking in my imac

Hey guys,
i just bought a new imac 21,5 inch. well i started it for the first time everything works fine!
but there is an annoying clicking in my imac! which comes one in regular tact.
is my imac broken or what is up with that
p.s. it is my firt mac

Just for your information - you have an intel iMac, not a G5.
If the sounds come back, you are under warranty for a year so I suggest contacting Apple Care and have them deal with it. I also suggest, that if you haven't already, you should buy Apple Care, which will give you three years of warranty including unlimited phone calls. Without Apple Care, your free calls are limited to 90 days after purchase.

  • Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some  updates for my imac.  Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box.  The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

    Hello all..   I hope someone here can help.  I recently downloaded some updates to my imac.  Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock.  I've tried rebooting with no joy.
    I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
    and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared.  Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

    I have a hard drive icon on my desktop that says 10.6.2....
    I use to have iphoto, it doesnt open anymore, it says there is 1.2gigs on that disk.There are many things on here that are the same way. Where do I start?
    It's always good to go with one thing at a time and stay focused on that. Let's start with the OS you're running. Click on the Apple menu > About This Mac. What does it say under Mac OS X version ?

    Hi, I have backed up 2 IMACs and one Mac Book Pro but for some reason, the 3rd IMAC come up with this problem: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Anthony’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). Why? The computer system is up to date and I have had no issue with the other computers, just this one.
    Many thanks

    All I want is all my contacts on my phone and the same on my iMac, but no, that's too much to ask, instead I get everything doubled up on the phone and everything doubled up (triple in some cases) on the iMac, why does it do this? and more importantly how can I stop it? Thanks

    Look under system preferences on the mac at what is be controlled?  Look at Mail, Contacts, Calendars.  How many accounts are managing contacts?  Just the cloud? the cloud and gmail? or cloud, gmail, yahoo, and exchange?  If you have more than one contact account, then you will have different contact lists, if John Smith shows up in more than one of your contact lists, you will have multiple entries.
    Pick a contact list that is your master, (I use iCloud), only turn on contact syncing for it.  The same for your phone.  Spend some time on the iCloud webset (www.icloud.com) and work on your contact list there.  Clean it up, remove duplicates, etc...Changes will auto sync back to all your devices.  Life gets much simplier.
    Just remember, if you sync different contacts lists and a large number of people appear in your different lists, then they will appear as duplicates.

  • I have downloaded some apps on this Imac.  When I open them, it says they were downloaded on another computer.  After I try to sign in it says my computer can't be verified.  Any ideas?

    Like I said, I downloaded some Apps onto this Imac.  When I try to use them it says that they were purchased on another computer.  That said, I don't have another computer.  It will then ask for my to sign in with my apple id and password.  When I put those in, it says that the computer can not be verified.  Contact apple support.  I don't have apple care and can't exactly afford to buy it at this time.  Anyone know how to resolve this issue??

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

  • TS3048 My bluetooth mouse usually loss with unknown reasons and it then automatic connected again after some clicks.

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    I have bough my Macbook Pro since 8 months ago and it seams quite good upto now, however in these days my Bluetooth mouse ussually lossed with unknow reasons and it then automatic connected again after some clicks.
    I have check mouse battery as well as relevent reasons like turn-on, but it still repeated and I don't know what is exact problem, it due to my mouse or my mac?
    Thank you very much and looking forward to your help.

    Check your Bluetooth, do you have a bunch of stuff listed in there that you are no longer using?
    Or another peripheral you stored away in a cabinet near by?

    Some times my new iMacs display start flickring when I starts playing a game. I am very annoyed. I have bought it only 1 month ago. What can I do?

    A flickering display sounds to me like a hardware problem.  Or does this only happen with a specific game? Of course your machine is still under warrantee so you could take advantge of it if you have a local apple store.

  • For some strange reason, my iMac & Macbook Pro are no longer connecting via the network. Has anyone a solution please?

    I recently rebooted the iMac and reinstalled Mavericks, running, 10.9.4 on both this and the Pro. Now when I try to send files from one to the other I get Connection Failed. I've tried rebooting the router, I've also done diagnostics re network on both. Each can 'see' the other in that they are on the list but simply won't communicate. Help would be appreciated as it's a bit of a bug bear using flash drives to transfer files across.
    Thanks.
    (The Macbook Pro is a 17" Mid 2009, if that makes any difference)

  • Clicking sound from iMac

    From time to time my iMac keeps freezing with the spinning ball for 5-20 minutes, and there is a loud clicking sound from the upper left hand side of the iMac.
    I have run hardware test, it took an hour or so, and there is nothing wrong with the harddrive. I have also reinstalles the whole system, but the problems are still there.
    What could it be?
    The serial number is inside the range for the Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues, but I dont know if it has anything to do with this.

    Okay, the same exact thing was happening to us. I was dreading the worse and backed up the important stuff. It was so bad sometimes that computer was becoming almost useless--naturally just out of Apple warranty. We took it to local shop and they checked and updated everything, and same things started when we got it home again. Another trip to shop and it ran fine there. The guy there said it was because too many wireless networks in our neighborhood were using the same default channel 6.
    Impossible, I thought, but turned Airport off on iMacG5 and ran ethernet cable directly to Netgear router. The problems ALL disappeared! I will change channel on router--as soon as I figure out how--and try Airport on G5 again, but meanwhile everything's great. I'm seeing spinning balls on older iMac in other room so should solve problems in there as well. Hopefully this info can be of some help.
    PS--Video and power issues are only for problems that are consistent--not intermittent as our G5 falls within same range.

  • Firefox stops responding to mouse clicks after one click; am on iMac PPC G5,OS 10.4.11; this freeze happens with Logitech AND Mac mice.

    About a month ago Firefox would stop responding to the clicks of my mouse after a click or two. Minimizing the page and reopening, or clicking off to another window and back, sometimes gives me another click or two but it always freezes again. I'm on an iMac G5 PPC (from around 2005) desktop running OS 10.4.11. I have a Logitech mouse and loaded a newer driver, and upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12 but the problem persists. I also tried running in Safe Mode but this did not fix the problem, and tried both the original Mac mouse and my Wacom tablet but neither fixes the problem.

    Same problem FF3.6.13 WinXP. I had this before but it went away. Upgraded from Firebug 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 tonight and the problem returned; not sure if that's coincidence.
    Weird thing is, it's not just that Firefox doesn't respond to the mouse clicks. The click goes right through Firefox to whatever's underneath. However, only the top FF window is affected. If I have two FF windows open, alt-tab into window A, then into window B (both maximised), then when window B stops responding the clicks are picked up by window A.
    With window B not responding but over window A, if I click where window A has a SELECT, window A receives the mouse event and the OPTIONS appear over window B.
    Only alt-tabbing to another non-Firefox window fixes the problem, and only temporarily.

  • Some problems with my imac + after effects

    Hi everybody! Fisrst of all, sorry for my english, i've just started to study seriously...
    My problem is: I have an iMac with a few years on its back. Here the specs:
         - iMac
         - Intel Core 2 Duo
         - 2,8 GHz
         -  1 (Processor)
         - Core number: 2
         - Cache Level 2 6Mb
         - Memory 4 Gb
         - Bus speed: 1,07
    I'm trying to use after effects in order to make a simple 2' video. And the computer became slower than my turtles...
    Any idea or any advice? maybe just add some extra memory? or just a new computer?... Any help will be greatfull!
    ThanK you all!

    Mac requirements are v10.7.4 or later >  Adobe After Effects CC for Mac tech specs
    If your Mac is running v10.6 as noted in your profile, you need to upgrade at the least to v10.7 Lion to run After Effects.

  • I'm trying to make some room on my iMac hard rive, which is almost full after 4 years of movies,music, pictures, etc.  I bought an external hard drive and thought I moved most of the movies and pics to the ext drive, but they still show as taking up space

    I recently got a message saying that my startup disk was almost full.  I tried moving files on to an external drive to make some space, but the files still show as taking up room when I look at my product info storage.  The files appear to have been moved and deleted off of my internal drive.  I copied them from one to the other and then moved the ones on the internal to my trash and then emptied the trash folder.  What else can I do.   When I open iMovie, even though I moved the movies from the iMovie folder, they still load as iMovie thumbnails, which takes forever.  I appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.

    First of all make sure that you've definitely backed up the movies to your external hard disc.
    In iMovie click on any event you don't want, go to the file menu and select 'move event to trash'. Then do the same for any unwanted projects - 'move project to trash'. Quit out of iMovie and empty the trash.
    Hope that helps!
