Type of panel in 24" iMac?

I'm returning a MacBook tomorrow and will most probably be getting a 24" iMac.
Having seen how good the display is I'm probably only asking for geek/curiosity value, but does anyone know what sort of panel is used, is it TN, PVA, SIPS etc?

Not sure what type of panel is it. I'm also returning a new Macbook 2.0. The screen quality of the Macbook is inferior to the screen quality of my iMacCore Duo 17". Everything on my iMac is alot sharper than on the Macbook.

Reversed type looks "bold" on new iMac

I just bought a new iMac (specs below) and immediately noticed that reversed type (white type on dark background) in Safari and Firefox definitely looks "bold" for a lack of a better word. This is in comparison to the 3 CRT monitors around our home/office.
This is my first LCD so I can't compare it to another but I can't say that I've noticed this weirdness on any LCD I've ever seen including my wife's Powerbook.
It could be related to the way these browsers render reversed fonts because reversed fonts embeded in images (photoshop, jpgs, etc) look as you would expect. I suppose it could also be related to recent iMac graphic card issues?
Anyone else notice this bold reversed type effect on the new iMac? or any other LCD for that matter.
Thanks.

I don't think it has anything to do with the LCD, but I've definitely seen similar weird effects that seem to be related to "font smoothing." Try fiddling with the settings at the bottom of System Preferences > Appearance. Also, the (freeware) TinkerTool.app from www.bresink.com provides a wider range of control on minimum smoothed font size. (IMO, all of Bresink's products are A++ quality software.)
Fonts drive me nuts, but I understand that Leopard may change things -- hopefully, for the better.

How to change the NAT type to Open on a Imac using bridged connections

Hey everyone I have a problem. I play xbox live with my friends and i just moved and dont have a wireless adapter anymore. so i have bridged connections with my imac and xbox via ethernet. It works perfectly, but the only problem is that when i connect it say that my NAT type is strict. To play with all my friends i need a open NAT type. Does anyone know how to make the NAT type on the Imac open. And i do have a D-link router model DIR-625. When i called D-link they said to port forward, i did and it still didnt work, they said it must be the fire wall on the mac, microsoft said the same thing, that it might be the fire wall. I checked the fire wall and it said "All Incoming connections are allowed".
I would really much appreciate it if someone helped me. Thank you!

Yes, most likely. Microsoft has provided a list of XBox LIVE!-compatible routers. Since the OS X Internet Sharing feature is limited, there is no way to configure port mapping or placing the XBox in a DMZ with it. Typically, you either use a compatible router or configure port mapping/DMZ for non-compatible routers.

Formation of moisture between LCD and front panel in a iMac

Hi Guys
I am using a 21,5" iMac for the last 18 months or so. Every monsoon (which is pretty heavy in Bombay) I face a strange problem. A few minutes after starting the mac, moisture starts accumulating between the LCD panel and the front glass which covers it. I have complained to Apple several times but there is no satisfactory reply. In fact one of their service center girls sent me this email explaining the reasons behind this problem
Hi , Sir !
Greetings of the day ............
This is with regards of ongoing problem with your iMac display issue.
I have understand it from the technician who have visited your place regarding this issue.Pls correct me ,if your imac display issue is different than belows.
Problem Reported: u see Some fog/condensation forms in that middle or corner of the screen(behind the glass). computer, But after turning it ON a large spot is clearly visible. [Deepak J] Your understanding is Correct .After turning of the computer, The fog disappears in just about 20 or 30 minutes.[Deepak J] No its not correct that fog/condensation goes in 20 or 30 minutes rather it takes more than 8 to 10 hours to get disappear and nature of the problem is intermittent. This is an environmental issue that happens with most of the iMacs here in mumbai during monsoon.it is because of humidity/moisture in the air.mostly it happens if there is a open window right behind the iMac or imac is very close to the AC.[Deepak J] My early PC which I used for more than 5 Years was also kept in the same way / environment in which iMac is Kept & I bought iMac for 4 times more than the Cost I purchased my Old PC.
Since the iMac goes Glass > Space > LCD it wouldn't be totally surprising that condensation would show up there if there is a lot of humidity and the temp variations between the outside of the glass and the inside of the glass.
The space between the glass and lcd is not air tight. The glass is just a "cover" and not affixed to the actual LCD. It's held on by some magnets but there's still air going to and from between the lcd and the section that connects to the glass. It's like when you get condensation/ie., fogged windows in a car. The temp difference the air outside the glass and the air inside the glass as well as both surface sides it's a matter of physics that a fog will appear if the conditions are optimal.
So,only few below things can help u in this case.
1.Keep the iMac On,as much u can.we can keep the system in sleep all the time with energy saver settings.we will help u to do the same.[Deepak J] I use PC for Max to Max 2 to 4 hours in a Week so are you suggesting that I keep the PC on for rest of 160 Hours
2.use of de-humidifier will might help.[Deepak J] Can you please tell me what is de-humidifier ?
3.Removing the glass panel(But not advisable.)[Deepak J] I don’t want to do that
Trust me ,it happens only in rainy seasons where humidity level is very high in our city and there is no technical solution to fix this as imac is design that way.[Deepak J] This the First rainy season after I purchased iMac
Hope,the above information will help u.
Pls let me know ,if u need any more information from our side.--

Its pretty obvious from this email that they have no clue on how to solve this problem. Combined with the fact that Lion has a lot of bugs, my impression is "Apple is the new Microsoft".
whats your experience guys
best regards
Tejash

Hi Shilpa
Its not the lack of testing. I am sure moisture is a problem in many other parts of the world. More irritating are the 'suggestions' by so called apple experts.
One solution could be to seal it from all sides. Should be a pretty standard job.

Migrating from old G4 15-inch Flat Panel to new iMac 24-inch 2.16GHz

Just purchased a refurbed 24" iMac with 2.16GHz core duo from Apple. Currently work on 15-inch flat panel 800MHz PowerPC G4 iMac using 10.2.8. Main applications are Photoshop v.7.0.1, Final Draft 6, and Office v.10.1.8. All important data is archived on three external OWC Mercury firewire drives. What is the most efficient, least problematic way to migrate? Or am I better off avoiding migration, installing latest Intel-friendly Photoshop, Office, and Final Draft software, and dragging select image files, and documents from external drives to new desktop? Also, how can I easily transfer my old iTunes/iPhoto/iMovie libraries over to new iMac from external drives without doing a migration? Thanks!

Type of Intel CPU on iMac

Hi,
I would like to know what type of Intel core 2 duo CPU is in the iMac (the last one - aluminium series). I don't know if it's a T7* series or a E6* series.
Thank you very much

Intel officially introduced a new Core 2 Extreme model for notebooks: The X7900 model increases the performance for high-end notebooks with a clock speed of 2.8 GHz.
According to heise online, the processor comes with the regular 4 MB L2 cache and support for FSB800, which was introduced earlier this year as part of the Santa Rosa platform. As the X7800, the new 7900 is also rated at a thermal design power of 44 watts, which means that you will not be able to find this CPU in your average notebook, due to its special cooling needs.
The tray price of the chip is $851. The company did not say if and when it will reduce the price for the X7800 version.
The first customer to get this high-end processor was once again Apple, which quietly began offering the chip two weeks ago for its new iMac. A 2.8 GHz iMac with a 24" monitor is currently offered from $2300, which translates into a $250 premium over a 2.4 GHz (non-"Extreme") model.

Hi, I bought an imac 27" quad-core i5 with 1067Mhz DDR3 RAM in it. I would like to know if this is the right type of speed for my imac as I found out that these imacs come standard with 1333Mhz DDR3's? It is crashing a lot!

Hi all. I bought an imac 27", 3.1Ghz quad-core i5 Mid 2011 last year in 2012. The machine has been crashing ever so frequently. I upgraded the RAM from the 4Gb it came with to 12Gb. It still crashes! I recently noticed that my imac came with 1067Mhz DDR3 memory chips ( slower speed) than the Apple mac recommended 1333Mhz DDR3 memory chips.
The shop I bought it from ( Incredible Connection, Woodmead, South Africa) are refusing to own up as they are saying the 1333Mhz chips have to be ordered in advance. Surely they are supposed to sell the product with the right kind of Ram in it? Not for me to find out? Now I have to fork out more money to make my imac factory standard? Maybe I am wrong, But do these Mid 2011's run well on 1067Mhz memory chips if I upgrade to 32Gb? Is it possible people are swapping 1333Mhz chips from new machines with 1067Mhz chips which are way too cheaper? My system version( SMC Number) is 1.72f5
Baffled!

Mac and Mac models are picky about the RAM the Mac needs to see and use.
As you have found out, the 1067 speed RAM will not work in your year and model iMac.
You need the 1333 speed RAM.
If, you can return the RAM for a refund, do it!
If not, try online Mac RAM source and seller Crucial memory. They have a table that matches your Mac to the correct and reliable RAM. You may need to contact them to see whether or not they ship to South Africa, though.
If Crucial dpesn't work out, here's the specs for your year and model iMac that you need to seek out and purchase.
Maximum Memory
32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Good Luck!

How do I type an ampersand on an iMac?

Title says it all. I can't figure out how to type an ampersand "&" other than copy and paste.

A visual reference:

Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
I hope this will work for you.

How to combine 17" iMac G4 flat panel display & iBook G4

I have a 17" flat panel G4 800 iMac. Monitor works fine. The logic board is toast.
I have a 14" G4 1.33 iBook that works perfectly but the screen is broken.
I want to attach the 17" flat panel to the VGA adapter on the iBook so I can see the desktop. I plan on using the iMac to power the monitor.
I have found the adapter & cable that attaches to the logic board for the video input for the 17" monitor.
The key bit of information that I need to know is what wires from the 17" monitor cable needs to attach to which pins on a VGA adapter?
I haven't found the info I need in either the iMac or iBook categories on Apples Discussion Board or searching other Mac friendly web sites.
Thanks in advance for any help or direction you can give.

You could try asking around to see who needs your iMacG4 for parts;
since you should be able to get almost enough from the good display
alone to buy a LCD monitor or one with a TV tuner to use with the iBook.
The prices of LCDs have come down a bit; not sure if you'd need to try
one of the ResX kind of software fixes to be able to use different resolution
LCDs with your little iBook. Costco had a 22" LCD for under $350; so a
smaller one may be available in the $180. range. Some with TV are coarse.
In some markets, the LCD from your iMacG4 in great shape and working
can be worth over $350. and if you lucked out, someone out there may
have a refurbished logicboard. Sometimes wegenermedia and other co's
that repair iBook/PowerBook out-of-warranty machines also have iMacG4s.
Some also have pulled but high quality used iBook displays.
The LCD for the iMacG4 requires a power supply and other circuits, those
are part of the base unit's video/logic board assembly and power supply.

Blue thin line on the lower left iMac G4 Flat Panel

Hi, since yesterday there is a blue thin line (0,039 inches (1 mm) thin; 35 inches (9 cm) long on the panel of my iMac G4 Flat Panel. It looks like drawing with a ruler, so straight and so fine.
The line is on the left lower corner in a vertical position. At first I thought these are dead pixels, but I checked this. No dead pixels. I have changed the desktop picture etc., but it`s all the same. I run the apple hardware-test cd - no problems found. Is there someone with any idea? Is it possible to have a damaged graphics- chip although the hardware-test is o.k.?
Does it make sense to open the iMac and look for dust and dirt on the motherboard?
Thank you for any help, Matse

Matse,Willkommen zu den
Diskussionen,
What happens if you change the
display resolution? (Apple Menu > System
Preferences... > Displays > Display tab >
Resolutions) If the line stays in exactly the same
place despite the resolution change this points to an
LCD rather than graphics card issue.
mrtotes
thank you Adam for that hint. The line stays exactly in the same place. That means it is an LCD issue? That´s your opinion? Do you have any idea if it is possible to repair it, or is the only possibility to change the panel?
Thank you, Matse

Please HELP, imac flat panel email sooo slow, locks up

Hi There, I have read soo many discussions but still can't real find the help i need. I have a flat panel 17 inch imac running 10.2.8. It has been fine for the last 4 years, but just in the past month or so it has been very annoying. It seems to be mostly when i am using mail or safari. the other apps don't seem that slow. I can have every app closed except mail and it will give me the beach ball and lock up.
I have gotten an external hd and put all my music on that. I have also tried to run disk utility and macjanitor, but it's still painful to try to be on mail/online.
Is there a way to run iphoto from the mac hd but have the library read from the external like in itunes?
Any other suggestions would be awesome!!
Please.Thanks Bobby

hi there,
Thanks for the help guys. I don't think space is an issue. I have Capacity: 74.52gb, Available: 52.55 and used: 21.97. I tried Onyx and that seemed to help a lot. I didn't know what I was doing, but I just hit delete and execute where i could! My mail still acts really weird. I can use it for a while sometimes and it's fine and sometimes you just delete a msg or go to a different msg and it says "writing changes to disk." It will get stuck like that for about 2-5minutes. If you just don't touch anything it will resolve, but it's really annoying.
I don't check a hotmail account, but I do have a pop account setup through my website domain. I try to keep my messages low on both computers. I've had it like that for a while and it's just starting to do the "writing changes to disk" problem.
Anyway, thanks for the help. I think Onyx will get me through!

L222 4432HF1 (1920x1200): What is panel type ? TN/S-IPS/M-pVA? Thanks

Could anyone tell me which type of panel the L222 4432 HF1 (the one with the 1920x1200 resolution) has? Is it a Tn, or S-IPS or M-Pva? Thanks.

It's a TN panel.

Intermittent AirPort Connectivity Betw iMac Running Snow Leopard And Others

I just installed Snow Leopard on my iMac and also have a MacBook Pro still running Leopard (10.5.8) and an iPod Touch. My internet service provider is Qwest DSL.
Prior to installing Snow Leopard I have successfully been able to use the Internet sharing preference panel and the AirPort utility on my iMac so that my other devices would be able to get reliable internet connectivity from the iMac.
However, since installing Snow Leopard on my iMac, I have had problems being able to pick up the internet connection from my iMac to my MacBook Pro and iPod Touch. It works for a while and then I lose the connection on the MacBook Pro and the iPod Touch, though my iMac still maintains its internet connection.
I have looked at the Internet Sharing Preference Panel on my iMac and it is set to "Internet Sharing On" with "Share Your Connection from: Ethernet" & "To computers using: Airport".
The only (temporary) fix I have found so far is to reboot my iMac and then the MacBook Pro and the iPod Touch are once again able to get their internet connection from the iMac.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what settings I need to change in order to maintain a steady internet connection broadcast from my iMac to my MacBook Pro and iPod Touch?

I have a first gen iPhone and just got mine working today by following these steps.
The following procedure is confirmed to work as written.
Start Internet Sharing if it's not already running.
In Terminal, type cp /etc/bootpd.plist /tmp/bootpd.plist
Stop Internet Sharing.
Open "open -e /tmp/bootpd.plist" for editing using TextEdit or whatever.
Locate this section of the file, near the end:
<key>replythresholdseconds</key>
<integer>4</integer>
Change the value 4 to 0.
In Terminal, type sudo cp /tmp/bootpd.plist /etc
Start Internet Sharing.
If you want to, check that your change to /etc/bootpd.plist hasn't been reverted.
then i just restarted my phone and everything seems to working for the past few hours.

Swapping Parts from One iMac to Another

I have a 17" flat panel iMac with the articulating arm (800MHz/1024MB/80HD) with a Super Drive. I purchased it a little over three years ago with an extended Apple Care package that expired in August 2005, after which both the articulating neck device went bad (the panel won't stay into position, so I prop it up with something), and just a few days ago, the computer crashed altogether (black screen, won't boot up).
I took it to the local Apple store and had it chedked out at the ""Genius Bar," and was told that the problem appears to be a defective "logic board." The technician said he couldn't confirm that was the problem until I paid to have it fixed, but he said he was reasonably sure it was the logic board. The cost to fix the logic board is $800, assuming that is the problem.
The cost to fix the articulating arm is another $800, which I found out a couple of months ago when it first failed.
So, here I am with a three-year-old iMac that I originally paid $2,200 for, that is loaded up with software such as Pagemaker 7.0, and I'm faced with $1,600 in repairs to make it right. My problem is two-fold. A) I don't want to spend $1,600 to restore the computer, and B) I have a lot of data that I hadn't backed up that I need to retrieve.
I am a long-time PC user and only purchased this iMac because my son-in-law, an avid Mac Fanatic, insisted I would get better results (I publish a magazine and maintain a website, among other things) and no crashes (not true, less crashes than PC but still craches). But now I have a fortune in Apple/OS software and tons of files that I need to access in this iMac. So here are my questions:
A) Can I purchase a similar model for a few hundred dollars on eBay and swap the hard drive from my iMac into the purchased one? This would solve both problems (bad logic board and defective articulating arm);
Or
B) Can I purchase a similar model on eBay and swap the logic board from the purchased iMac with my defective iMac (which would give me access to my software and data files in my existing iMac, but would not fix the articulating arm problem). If this is doable, could I also switch the articulating arm? What about the Super Drive, if the unit comes with a Combo Drive?
C) Are these parts easily snapped in and out as is the case with PCs? Or is this type of work beyond the capabilities of a layman like myself?
D) If any of these solutions are feasible, do I have to buy a used iMac EXACTLY configured the same as mine (800MGz/1024MB/80HO/Super Drive)? Or will the hardware from my iMac work in any of the flat panel articulating arm iMacs. Also, will I be able to plug the RAM from my iMac into a lesser configured iMac?
If anyone can shed light on any of these issues, I'd greatly appreaciate it. Many thanks in advance.

Anchorasaweigh,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The iMac_flatpanel.pdf link on Apple Macintosh Computer Repair Resources will support Barbara's messy assertion regarding the intricacy of disassembling/reassembling the hardware.
A) If you go this route, why go through the disassembly process? You may end up with two unusable computers. Just use the replacement.
B) I would have the same objection to this alternative.
C) As you can see from the link that I provided, the answer in my opinion would be an emphatic NO. I would cringe with fear, if I had attempt this repair.
D) I cant come close to answering this question, but if you are interested in an opinion, I believe that there will be some, but few acceptable differences.
The tone of your missive indicates that you do not want to hear about other options, but I would avoid the cannibalization process that you are contemplating. It will be risky and fraught with pitfalls. If your son-in-law has any remaining credibility, and you wish to continue with the Mac OS, I would recommend that you consider a Refurbished iMac G5 1.8GHz/ 256MB/ 160GB/ SuperDrive/ 56K/ 20-inch, which when I made this link could be obtained for $1,149.00. I purchased an iMac DV SE through Apple Certified Refurbished Products in 2000 and have been totally satisfied with the reliability.
Whatever you decide, I believe that you should be able to recover your data through Firewire Target Disk Mode.
Good Luck,
Go Navy.
