White Screen 20" iMac a1224, chimes, boots, screen dims after a while. When mirrored on external display seems fine. Any thoughts?
Title says it all. 20" iMac a1224 when I start it up it chimes and seems to boot wireless keyboard connected to it and makes noises, wired mouse. Connected display to it and randomly clicked and dragged until I pulled preferences over to external display and set to mirrored. everything "seems" to functioning fine besides built in screen. Not sure what other tests to do, any input would be great.
OK here is an update.
iMac 20" 2 GHz Intel Core 2 duo, 2GB 667 MHz ddr2 sdram serial number - W873688AX85
I replaced the harddrive - WD caviar blue 500gb SATA III 7200rpm 16mb cache WD5000AAKX
Installed Mountain Lion 10.8.5 with the iMac display disconnected, (the plug directly to the right of the wireless card), and connected to external display. One partition.
Did all of the current updates
Powered off, disconnected power cord, connected internal display, rebooted - still white screen with extended desktop on external display
Read something about the four green LEDs. With the internal display connected, the fourth LED from the left with the LEDs being on the left of the RAM slot, is on. This LED does not come on when the internal display is disconnected.
From here I just dont know if its the display or the loic board. Are there any tests I can do to narrow it down?
I saw that the G5 had problems with capacitors, can this be similar?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm currently in mac recovery. I have a 21.5'' iMac (I think late 2011). I'm running OSX mountain lion and I think its kept up to date. Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel (not the beachball one). This seems to go on for ever (at least 3 hours) ant will not boot. Booting in safe mode does not work and results in the same problem. As I said earlier I can get tom recovery mode. Thanks Oliver.
I have on/for my machine:
Mac OSX mountain lion
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
4GB of ram
OSX 10 FULL backups (External 2TB drive)
500GB HDD
Please ask if you would like more Information.Hello, disconnect any external drives for now.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS. -
I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
Here is an image of the issue
http://www.flickr.com/photos/67839707@N08/8884847081/I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed. -
Suddanly Mbp display has got inverted colors with black on white settings. in universal access. When I connect external display(tv), TV display is normal. I reinstalled os x lion. But it did not help. I had this problem before but it solved after reinstalling os x lion.
Did you have this problem? What should I do?Sorry, its not an external display. I changed out THE display in my imac. When I hooked up my wife's display it was photo negative and the imac was color. I changed the Universal Settings and the external display went to color and the imac went to photo negative.

IMac stays on boot screen with thick vertical lines (formerly pixelated diagonal lines)
I bought my refurbished imac in the summer of 2008.
I've scoured the internet trying to find a definite answer to my issue.
I was playing a game a couple of nights ago, when my computer screen flashed a couple of times, then froze.
I restarted my computer only to have weird diagonal (pixelated) lines running across my boot screen... and it wouldn't display my desktop... although I think I could manipulate things on my desktop. It just stuck on the boot screen with the loading animation.
I tried Safe mode, PRAM reset, inserting install disc, holding down D, holding down C... all to no avail. Except now, rather than diagonal lines, they are THICK multi-colored (black from a distance) vertical lines.
Some sites say it could be the GPU... I have an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT (or GS?)
Or it could be the BGA, Logic Board, a bad GPU connection (i don't see this as an issue because the computer has been stationary), or the screen.
I'm about to open it up myself and find out because I don't live near an Apple store.
This is the third apple product within 1 year that has died on me (1. iPod touch, 2. Airport extreme)... as much as I don't want to, I think I might return to using PCs because I've had my fully functional PC for more than a decade without problems. Am I just unlucky?
Please HELP... I am a web designer/programmer and I am without my work computer.If you mean the CPU, not likely. You can try the Apple Hardware Test if you like, but it's usually a waste of time. A negative result means nothing. You'd need some combination of specialized software, test equipment, and non-public engineering data from Apple.

IMac won't boot OsX Partition after Bootcamp install/uninstall.
Hello,
I have bought 2 late 2012 21.5 iMacs last year and have used both the same way. Here is what happened with one of them recently.
Fisrt af all I've installed bootcamp 1 year ago in both iMacs without issues and was ok so far, and was using exclusively Windows 7 partition. The trouble iMac started with some startup issues during boot/reboot (screen was frozen with green/grey horizontal lines), but worked fine after following manual start up.
Lately I've been trying to boot from OsX partition and it freezes in the apple logo every time.
I have already done the SMC / PRAM procedures, without success.
I have tried to download and do a fresh OsX install (Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite). Can't boot from Mavericks / Yosemite flash drive install (both freeze at apple logo - horizontal lines), and only had partial success with one Mountain Lion 10.8.5 flash drive install that booted all right and the first part of the installation process was ok, but after the initial reboot, it happened to freeze the same way before.
The iMac failed to boot in safe mode (stops booting at 25% and then freezes on apple logo), and show no issues with AHT tests.
I can boot in single user mode, but it reboots after a few seconds. I noticed some errors messages during this boot.
It fails to boot in verbose mode, showing a few lines of errors (images attached), and then freezes in a green horizontal line screen.
I can still boot from Bootcamp flash drive and Ubuntu Flash drive, and install both OS. The only issue is with OsX itself. I have used Gparted in Ubuntu to Format the hole partition to HFS+, and can't find any errors in hard drive tests.
I thought about buying a thunderbolt cable and try to do a Clone of my other iMac, but don't know if it will work.
Any other tests/suggestions about this issue?
Regards,Fixed the problem with this setup
Of course this means i just lost 4GB.
Let me tell the full story.
In the beginning, long ago, once upon a time. My iMac had 2x2GB ram sticks which were in the two DIMM1 Banks. I then told myself "I WANT MORE RAM BECAUSE LOLZ". So i bought 2x4GB ram sticks. The two empty slots were Bank 0/DIMM0 and Bank 1/DIMM 0. and I added them in there. having done that, I booted OS X up, worked great, had 12GB, everything was shiny and beautiful. Soon after I wanted to try it out on windows. I restarted my computer and BAM the blinking cursor just sits there, being stubborn and all. I then told myself "holy balls, this new ram i got is bonkers" (them words, I blame the language filter). Then after giving it a little thought, i just asked myself if it was because I had ram from two different manufacturers. I removed my old ram, which has nice Samsung stickers on them, and booted it up on windows. Still had the same problem, I then decided that maybe this is all really mentally challenged so to win I had to think like a retard. I took my new ram and inserted it in the same slots where my old ram sticks were (DIMM1 Banks), booted windows up and IT WORKED.
I still hold all of my WHYs on this subject but I will keep messing around to see if I find a better solution than just leaving both DIMM0 banks empty -
My iMac can't boot Windows 7 From USB while my Macbook Pro can do it
I install Windows 7 64 bit and rEFIt into a USB hard disk and hope to boot from my iMac 27" (2010 Mid). However, it shows that no boot deivce is found.
If I plug the SAME disk to my Macbook Pro 17" (2009 Mid), it can boot Windows 7 without any problem.
I tried with Linux and get same result, iMac says no boot device while my Macbook Pro can boot it without problem.
I tried experiment for weeks and still can't get iMac work.
I think it is very abnormal and I wonder if someone can tell me how to fix it or any directory to solve this problem.My iMac runs snow leopard and my MacBook pro runs Lion. Both of them are updated with latest updated. I just get one external USB hard disk with Windows 7 32 bit installed and magically, my iMac can boot it from rEFIt. However, I don't know what makes it works. I tried to make same configuration, software and steps on other USB hard disks for hundreds times but I can repeat it again. All other attempt can make USB hard disk boot on MacBook Pro but not iMac only.

IMAC 27" issue when use as external display
I just boought an IMAC 27 inches, I have an issue using it as external display for my macbook pro. both machines support thunderbolt. The issue is not connecting it from my macbook pro to IMAC, but when I want to release and use my IMAC again as computer by clicking CMD F2, the connection did not get released. I tested using IMAC at apple store and it works fine. I can connect and disconnect using CMD F2. finally I checked the thunderbolt firmware in my IMAC and compare with the one at Apple store. They are not the same. the one I have is Port Micro Firmware Version: 2.1.1 and the one at Apple strore is Port Micro Firmware Version: 2.0.7. is there any fixed?
This is only possible by setting up ScreenRecycler or using Virtual Network Computing; all of these methods work over an Ethernet, FireWire, or wireless network.

Screen splitting error and red boot screen
Hi, I was using my macbook pro just now and the screen started to glitch and show black vertical bars and the displayed image was split up. I tried to see if there's an unresponsive program that i can force quit then the screen just turned grey and was stuck there.
I then manually restarted the mac, it prompted me with a press button to continue booting up screen then it was stuck on the grey screen again.
I tried to start in safe mode then it booted with a red screen and i believed did a system check. But I'm not sure. It then got stuck on the grey screen again.
I rebooted the machine manually and then now it booted up fine.
It has happened twice before. Once the split screen issue was solved by quitting Spotify and the second time similar events happened as described above.
I have previously taken the mac to the genius bar and they ran a hardware check and found that everything was fine. Since I couldn't reproduce the error whilst being in the store they said there was nothing they could do.
Update:
The screen splitting issue has occurred at least twice since the event happened above. I have managed to collect another problem report which i can show in addition to the first one.
I believe that there is a problem with the dedicated graphics card since whenever i use gfxCardStatus to switch to the AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics card the screen splitting problem occurs. The problem also occurs when the machine automatically switches to the dedicated graphics card with things like Spotify, Google maps and other more intensive applications. Moreover, the second time the problem occurred when i was streaming a TV show and gfxCardStatus showed that the machine has switched to the dedicated Radeon card.
I'm not sure what i can do about it right now other than trying not to use the dedicated graphics card. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks!
If it helps, I've upgraded the ram myself previously. But that was a few years ago and didn't show any problems when i first installed it.
It is an early 2011 Macbook Pro with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4
The split screen issue looks like this:
Apologies for the rotated image I don't know how to rotate it on the site.
It also appears identical to the one shown here, three posts down: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15920113
The problem report of the first event is shown here:

So I bought my wife our 1st iPhone 4S today w/ Verizon. I booted it up and it started having a voice repeat every command, and function (no, its not Siri).
BTW... Siri doesn't work, I can't scroll in the settings, when I open an app it actually opens the wrong app, and I can't find a way do fix any of it. I tried a hard boot by holding down the power button and the button on the lower midddle of the phone. When it rebooted, it got worse. Now what?
Not too excited about switching phones if this has already begun... Any advice would be appreciated.iPhone User Guide

Just hoping for some help from the title question. Thank you guys
You need to format the SSD and install a version of OS X on it before it will boot. There are a number of ways you can go about this.
Get an enclosure for your 'old' drive and boot from it with the SSD installed. OWC has an assortment of inexpensive enclosures. Boot from your 'old' drive and use Disk Utility to format the SSD as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your old drive to your new. Select the SSD as your Startup Drive in System Preferences.
Alternately, you can use Lion DiskMaker to create a bootable USB flash Drive (8GB minimum) or a dual-layer DVD if you've downloaded Mountain Lion and still have the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder. If you've already purchased ML, you can simply redownload this file again and quit the application when it finishes downloading and begins the installation.
Either method will work.
Good luck,

IMac won't boot windows 7 after ram increase to 12gb
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has has a problem trying to load up windows 7 in boot camp after installing 2 4gb sticks of ram in their iMac. I have a iMac intel core 2duo and the ram is working fine in OSX. When I try to boot up in windows it just sits on the black screen with the flashing icon. I took the extra ram out and it booted up just fine. The version of windows 7 is the ultimate edition 64bit.
Any help would be great
Thanks
MikeFixed the problem with this setup
Of course this means i just lost 4GB.
Let me tell the full story.
In the beginning, long ago, once upon a time. My iMac had 2x2GB ram sticks which were in the two DIMM1 Banks. I then told myself "I WANT MORE RAM BECAUSE LOLZ". So i bought 2x4GB ram sticks. The two empty slots were Bank 0/DIMM0 and Bank 1/DIMM 0. and I added them in there. having done that, I booted OS X up, worked great, had 12GB, everything was shiny and beautiful. Soon after I wanted to try it out on windows. I restarted my computer and BAM the blinking cursor just sits there, being stubborn and all. I then told myself "holy balls, this new ram i got is bonkers" (them words, I blame the language filter). Then after giving it a little thought, i just asked myself if it was because I had ram from two different manufacturers. I removed my old ram, which has nice Samsung stickers on them, and booted it up on windows. Still had the same problem, I then decided that maybe this is all really mentally challenged so to win I had to think like a retard. I took my new ram and inserted it in the same slots where my old ram sticks were (DIMM1 Banks), booted windows up and IT WORKED.
I still hold all of my WHYs on this subject but I will keep messing around to see if I find a better solution than just leaving both DIMM0 banks empty -
IMac is not booting - How can I copy my files to an external drive
Hello,
my iMac (late 2009 model, OS X 10.7.4) is not booting anymore. The iMac stopps booting at the Apple logo and the spinning gear.
I tried a couple of things that I found here in the community but nothing worked.
start in safe mode => iMac shuts off after a couple of seconds
start with safe boot (Shift-Command-V) => I'll get a couple of error messages, e.g. disk0s2: I/O error. SATA WARNING: Enable Drive PHY PM failed
reset the NVRAM/PRAM => no change
But when I try to get access on the HD with the FireWire Target Disk Mode, I can see the following folders: Applications, Library, System, Users. But the statusbar shows 0 items for each folder and it shows that the HD has 650 GB available. I have the original 1TB HD. When I try to start OS X from an external drive I can see the same folders. I tried Data Rescue 3 to scan my files, but the software stopps with an error.
My TimeMachine backup was not working, so I have no actual backup and need to find a solution to copy my files to an external drive.
Instead of Data Rescue 3, I can use TechTools Pro 6 alternatively.
Would Data Rescue 3 find files if I erase and create a new partition on the HD?
What I found out so far, it looks like a corrupted file system.
Have anyone an idea or a tip, how I can copy my files?
I would be more than happy if someone can help me.
Thank you very much for all answers in advance.The internal drive is failing, or has failed. You may not be able to save the data.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data. -
IMac will not boot into OSX after startup disk switch in control panel.!
I am having trouble with my son's iMac DV SE (graphite) running Classic and OSX (10.3.9). Typically, the computer runs in OS9 as the startup system because most of the kids' software we run is old and uses Classic. Over the weekend, I changed the startup disk to OSX in the control panels and restarted the computer so I could install some new software. The computer will not boot past the gray apple and progress indicator. I have tried resetting the PRAM, booting from the CD and restarting with the options key depressed to no avail. (Can't do a Safeboot either.) I was able to put the iMac into target mode and access the control panels via my laptop and restart in OS9. I thought I had resolved the issue causing the startup problem, but I was wrong. Now I can't get past the gray apple or access the hard disk through target mode (the iMac hard disk does not appear on the laptop's desktop). Is there a way to force the computer back into OS9 other than holding down the option key at startup? When I try this, I get the hard disk icon, but I can't move it off of OSX. Thanks in advance for any help.
Is there a way to force the computer back into OS9 other than holding down the option key at startup?
Holding down the OPTION key will only work if OS 9 is on a different partition than the OS X installation. If they are on the same partition, it won't work.
One way to get it back to OS 9 is to boot from the OS 9 or OS X installation disc. Then set the control panel, or preference pane, to boot from the OS 9 installed on the hard drive.
Another way is to boot from the OS 9 install disc and perform a clean install of OS 9. This will create a new OS 9 System folder and it will NOT touch any other files on the drive. KB 58176, Mac OS 8.5, Mac OS 9: Performing a Clean Installation -
IMac Won't Boot Up, Only after Mount-uw/
Turn on my iMac,
The Apple logo appears and tries to boot up...
BAM! my computer turns off.
I turn on my iMac, hit Command+S
type: fsck -yf
... and it basically tells me that "The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely."
I type in: mount - uw / followed by exit
..... and my computer boots up and takes me to my desktop.
Everything works fine, all my stuff is there, I can do whatever... EXCEPT - shut down. Why? Because I'll have to Command+S and mount - uw / just to get back to where I wanna be.
So what's going on? Is my hard drive failing? Is this something I can fix on my own? Do I need to take my iMac in?
Thankfully I was able to back up since I can still access my desktop and all of my files as if there is nothing wrong with my computer through the mount -uw / code.
I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3.... I got this iMac back in October 2010
THANKS!Start your system with the original install disk and then go to disk utility. Do a Repair disk, if that works do a Repair permissions. Then if all that is good reboot normally and do a Combo update to 10.6.8
