What´s happening with my iMac?

After all, sorry for my english.
From a couple of months ago, when I turn on my iMac I can see stranger lines and colours on the screen. Once OSX is ready, lines disappear. Yesterday I take a photo with my celular phone: http://personales.ya.com/atleticomania/macu/Imac.jpg
I´m very afraid, ´couse this is the second time I have to repair my Mac.
Any ideas of what´s happening?
Thanks

I also would take it in to be checked as mp24 suggest!
Or send it in if there is not a service center near you, here's the link for service request.

  • What's happening with my iMac hard drive?

    I was on Disk Utility the other day, and a message was displayed on my screen. It said... "This drive has a hardware problem and cannot be repaired. Back up as much data as possible and replace the disk. See an authorised Apple dealer for more information." This message was referring to my 1TB ST31000528AS internal iMac hard drive. What is causing this problem? Does this have something to do with the fact that BOOTCAMP was installed on my computer? What should I do?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I have an old imac 27' with OS 10.7. What will happen with lightroom 6 ?

    I have an old imac 27 ' with mac os 10.7.
    I try creative cloud and lightroom 5. It works perfectly... But what will happen with lightroom 6 ?

    It's pretty simple. Lightroom 6 will not run on OS 10.7. See http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2015/01/update-on-os-support-for-next-version-of-l ightroom.html
    You will need to either stay with Lightroom 5, or upgrade your operating system.

  • What is up with my iMac?

    So here is what is happening to my iMac, (by the way its a power g5 non iSight leopard OS)It began to freeze and slow down , got the grey screen and would not boot up again. Tried all of the combination of command + keys available, nothing. Tried target mode, etc, pretty much tried it all, moved to beleiving that my hard drive had fried, I replaced it.
    Placed the original dvd and booted into it, after a very long time, and I do mean long time, I was able to get into disk utilities, also the old hard drive, the one I thought was dead, I put into a slay and pluged it into the mac.
    Disk utilities saw my newly installed drive, and saw my old drive, I proceeded to do a scan and fix on the old drive and thought it would all be okay. Went back installed my old drive and removed my new drive, since I thought that the problem had been solved, but nope. I was unable to boot into the mac again, so I went into it again and replaced the hard drive again, with the new one, and booted with the original dvd.
    Once inside the installation I did the disk utilities, and tried to format the drive, erase the drive , but nothing it gave me an error and was unable to install the os.
    Does anyone one have any idea what is going on? I am pretty certain that the hard drive is not the cause, but what can it be?
    Anyhelp appreciated!!

    You can't format it before putting it in the Mac, I just wondered if you had bought one which came already Windows formatted, many drives do. Did Disk Utilities from the install disk come up with any errors? Do you have DiskWarrior or TechToolPro?
    It could be that your logic board had failed, but give resetting both your PRAM and SMU a go.

  • What's happened with iCal - all entries duplicated!

    What is happening with iCal? Suddenly it's duplicated every event in my calendars on my iMac - and the Mobile Me version seems stuck - I can't click through the days there.
    I've seen other posts on this, but I'd like to ask if anyone else has experienced this since "upgrading" their calendars as I was prompted to do yesterday.
    Automatic synching is OFF in Mobile Me prefs - my synchs are initiated manually (and I didn't initiate one before the duplication occurred).
    Secondly, does anyone know how to remove these duplicates in one go - I can't trawl through 8 years of bloated calendars removing the duplicates!
    Thanks.

    I can answer my own question about how to remove the duplicates: I unticked/unchecked the calendars in the Mobile Me list in the left column.
    I've turned off all synching for the time being - Mobile Me and iCal seem to be causing some severe problems for some unfortunate users who have lost all their data. Makes duplicated data a luxury.

  • If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

    If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

    Lion will run on most Intel machines. It will not run on the following machines:
    MacBook Pro (sold before October 2006)
    MacBook (sold before November 2006)
    Mac Mini (sold before August 2007)
    iMac (sold before September 2006)
    It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo (or later CPU). Those machines listed above were all Intel Core Duo machines and with the exception of one of the Mac Minis, an Intel Core Solo. So we're talking 4+ year old machines. I have not tested Lion on a machine with anything less than 2GB of RAM.
    Wikipedia has a pretty good public summation of what's known so far and it's quite accurate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion
    The biggest thing of note so far is that you cannot install/run Rosetta. Which maybe problematic for some users.

  • I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

    I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
    I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
    I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
    P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

    Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match.  Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

  • What's happening with my 2ndGen AEX at night? Pings sometimes go over 1000ms!

    What's happening with my 2ndGen AEX at night? Pings sometimes go over 1000ms!
    My Airport Extreme is perfect all day but sometimes late at night my ping goes over 1000ms. Wired or Wifi is the same. There's no rhyme or reason as to when it happens either. Random times and random nights (sometimes several nights in a row, other times not for week or more). Resetting doesn't help, but If I go direct to the modem, pings are around 15-30ms... normal for me. It's been a problem for me for a while now, and I'm not sure if its the latest firmware update that did it. I first noticed it playing my Xbox 360 sometime last summer or fall. The ping times will suddenly (usually around midnight or 1am) be so high that I can't play any multiplayer games.  I go to speedtest.net and my ping is anywhere from 500ms to 1118ms is the highest I've seen. If I reset the router, it is fine for a couple minutes and then right back to to the high pings. As I said, the modem is fine when I go direct, so something is causing the Airport Extreme to have trouble. It's not the XB360, cause it also happens with my XB1 and only at night. I play during the day, as well, and have no troubles.
    I believe that there are certain programs that can cause this, like Vuze, but this only ever happens when everyone in the house is in bed, and both mine and my wife's laptops will be asleep.  I do have a Mac Mini connected to another TV in the house, but the only thing it should be doing at that hour is its hourly Time Machine backup to a USB drive plugged directly into it. I do have a network drive attached to the AEX, but I only use that for manual backups for our laptops, neither of which is being done when this occurs. My wife and I also each have an iPad (the 2 and an Air) and an iPhone 5.  Could they somehow be causing this? Maybe an automated iCloud backup occuring at night? Although, I use several devices on my network all day long without this kind of thing happening so I don't know why that would cause this kind of problem. Just to round out my collection, I have to older Airport Expresses as well to extend the network and are mostly used for the audio out.

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
    Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved.
    Step 2
    From the menu bar, select
    System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
    Step 3
    Reset the SMC.
    Step 4
    Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 5
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 6
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

  • What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion?

    What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion? Now, whenever I type an apostrophe and it's replaced with a smart quote, it creates an unwanted space within my word and starts typing from there. It will also revert the font from my template style to helvetica. Annoying as heck! Any thoughts? Turning off smart quote substition in Mail elimates the error, but elimates the smart qoute, too. I'm stumped.

  • What's happening with BT Broadband Talk??

    When I joined BT some years ago I was advised to use BT Broadband Talk, as this was a VOIP service the calls made via BT Broadband Talk were cheaper than made via a landline (at least that was what they told me when they sold this to me).
    Recently I found out that the call rates for Broadband Talk calls and landline calls are the same, but also that some of my calling plan features do NOT apply to Broadband Talk calls!!
    As I have been using only my Broadband Talk number to make calls, I was just paying for calling plans while they were not being applied on my calls. I don't know when BT all changed this, but it looks to me like they are phasing out the whole BT Broadband Talk service!
    Can anyone let me know what is happening with Broadband Talk???
    (I guess I better use skype anyway...)

    That's indeed what I thought but when I was chatting with a BT support person, this was what she told me (copied from the chat log):
    "Quatta: Can you send me the international calling rates to Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and Germany when calling from the main line vs when calling from the broadband talk line?
       Junaid  : the prices are same if you call from land line or bt talk broadband i will tell you the charges bare with me
    Quatta: Okay thanks - yes please send me the rates
       Junaid  : Netherland-2.50, Spain-2.50, Belgium-2.50 and Germany-2.50 all the amount is 2.50 pence."
    After this i search the bt site to see whether BT BB-Talk had cheaper internatonal rates listed (as i did not trust this chat-reply) but no where on the site you find seperate BT BB-Talk rates for international calls. This chat happened on dec-7, 2011 - that's why i started thinking that BT is making this voip service less attractive so that their existing customers drop out on it and they can terminate it (as they already stopped taking on / promoting BB-talk to new clients). So don't think the cheap calls advantage is there anymore. cheers Rob

  • What's wrong with my iMac G3?

    What's wrong with my iMac G3?
    Ok. I'm going to attempt to be as thorough as possible on this one. When I first got my iMac G3, it was stated to be non working. I got it from freecycle. The lady who provided my with the machine said that "one day it just wouldn't turn on". So, I still took it home. After I set it up, it turned on and booted into Mac OS 8.6 no problem. After about two days of using it, I turned it on again and it said something about "finder could not be started because draglib-setdragimage (or something like that) could not be found." It gave me a restart button, which I clicked. After about a day of messing around with it, I found that holding the shift key to disable extensions would allow it to boot properly. I decided to re-install 8.6. However, the cd was not recognized (perhaps because it was an ISO, not DMG). So, I proceeded to install panther. The first time it booted with the panther cd (and ever since), there has been no startup chime. It also will only get to the apple logo, without the spinning thing, where it freezes. Only the button on the keyboard works to start it up. And, occasionally it will boot into open firmware. I don't know what to do from here. I can still boot into os 8.6 with extensions off.
    Help?
    Thanks so much in advance,
    -Don

    And, occasionally it will boot into open firmware.
    Seems odd to me. All by itself? Did you press any keys?
    I don't know what to do from here. I can still boot into os 8.6 with extensions off.
    Most likely, you have a bad extension. They are in a folder called extensions What you need to do is create a new folder and move extensions to this folder. Move extensions to the folder in groups. try 1/2 first. Move back & forth between folders. See which extension is causing the problem. command + n to create a new folder
    verify that you have the correct firmware.
    Figuring out what level of firmware you have?
    1) Mac OS 9.x or 8.x, you need to use the Apple System Profiler.
    Apple -> Apple System Profiler
    2) Mac OS X, use the System Profiler.
    Apple -> About This Mac
    click on the More Info... tab
    click on Hardware
    read the Boot ROM Version
    3) Open Firmware, boot into Open Firmware.
    Power on your iMac while holding down commandoption+of
    The first output line contains the firmware level. Mine reads:
    Apple PowerMac4,1 4.1.9f1 BootRom built on 09/14/01 at 13.18.04
    Copyright 1994-2001 Apple Computer Inc.
    The 4.1.9f1 will be different on a 333 machine.
    What firmware do you need?

  • TS1702 Any body know what is happening with this app "eTodo" ? is no more in the iTunes store !

    Any body know what is happening with this app "eTodo" ? is no more in the iTunes store !
    I have this problem for one year I think and no one can’t solve that,I made 6 screen shots and I will uploading in a few seconds all of them and please just check them !
    My problem is: I bought an application last year and after some time I had lost the app from my iTunes store.
    Now,what I want to do is: I want to get that app again,but I could not find anywhere in the iTunes  store,websites ,nobody could not help me with that
    The app has been deleted from everywhere !

    If the app is no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload it. You don't have a copy of it in your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync it back to your phone ?

  • What is happening with FCP 7 now?

    I've just been engaged to make a film in a remote isolated community.  They want me to set up a 'film studio' for the community at the same time.  Normally this would be a no-brainer for me.  I'd arrive with an Apple Tower, several monitors, some decent speakers, and FCP Studio installed.
    I'm wondering what is happening with FCP these days.  All I've heard is negative rumours about FCP X being an amateur app (iMovie upgraded) and FCP7 being discontinued.  I may not even be able to buy FCP Studio (with 7)?
    I have a distinct disaffection for iMovie ... the underlying logic has always eluded me.  I've been a faithful Final Cut user since the very first version, have cut scores of films with it.
    I'd love to hear the 'latest' news about how Apple is handling this, or not.
    I hate the idea of trying to set up a community studio with any of the alternatives.
    All ears,
    Ben

    Hi Tom,
    By 'current interface' do you mean FCP X?  I haven't had time to try it yet.  I've never liked iMovie.  I love the simplicity and 'logic' of FCP - once one has worked out the most efficient pipeline.
    I find I can show someone how to edit in FCP in about 30 minutes.  It took my son about ten.  And then the learner is on his/her way with great ease.  (I think it's a matter of having myself figured out over the years a very efficient 1,2,3 ... eschewing the 10 other ways to do every operation; I suspect it's the 10 different ways to do each operation that most people find confusing).
    Fogo Island Newfoundland out in the North Atlantic is a particularly enlightened place, quite fascinating.  Very film savvy.  I'd want to set them up with something professional - they might easily turn out some decent filmmakers.  Meaning 'professionals'.
    If Apple was planning to upgrade FCP X to a professional app in the near future (I'm just quoting what I've heard rumoured) then I could see going that way.  I have to confess that I also don't want to have to spend a month getting up to speed on FCP X before heading out for Fogo.  And then looking incompetent when I discover I can't do something on it (that I take for granted in FCP 7).
    All the best Tom.,
    Ben

  • Migration Planning: What will happen with clients when changing namespace?

    Hello,
    We are planning to upgrade our EX2010 enviroment to EX2013.
    Sadly our namespace in EX2010 is right now owa2.domain.com. The name owa2 is coming from last migration between ex2003 and ex2010. I'd like to remove this minor flaw if possible.
    But what will happen with all the clients and mobile devices which are right now bound to owa2.domain.com? Is it possible to change the name back to owa.domain.com without manual interaction with the clients?
    Kind Regards

    Hi ,
    Based on my knowledge for services like pop,imap and active sync we need to have the manual interaction.Without manual intercation we cannot achieve this.
    Same time we need to have the new name on the SAN certificate .
    For owa users you can simply communicate the new url via email and then for internal outlook and external outlook connectivity we need to repair the profiles to force the autodiscover service to fetch up the new name.On my experience most of the times repair
    will not help.So again your only hope would be reconfiguring the existing profiles.
    Note : Most importantly before renaming the host A record on the external and internal dns all you need is to reduce the TTL value for the existing host A record on the name owa2.domain.com.So
    that external and internal clients will not have the dns cache for a long period.
    Anyhow we will wait for some expert inputs on this case.Because their ideas might be good and different than me.
    Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

    As RG said, you cannot determine solely from the model number whether an iPhone is unlocked or not. In what country and from what dealer did you buy this iPhone?
