Why does my brand new imac keep freezing up?

I may only have several applications open and the computer will freeze up. I can use the mouse and move it, but not click on anything.

Wow,
I wonder why it is that when someone wants a real answer and experiences from users as to why an Apple product doesn't work, there is usually an iCult member who somes to the defense of Apple as if being a disciple of God :-) That's not a slander. It's meant to be part truth, part humor.
Brody, your other answers are great and what I was wanting to hear about. However, I can see you get too defensive about your favorite company.
I'm not looking for a lecture on why Apple is so wonderful. I sincerely want to know the things I should look out about when buying an iMac and to hear solutions to problems form users with issues. I would not be so hesitate about buying an iMac if it weren't for my current issues with iTunes freezing and crashing on multiple computers, an iPhone4 that doesn't work in speakerphone mode, and an iPad coming dead on arrival (rare I understand). I've been an electronics system designer for more decades than you might think, so I am not dumb about equipment.
Now before anyone jumps to conclusions, I am not a proponent of Windows or any other specific competitive company. Every product has its issues and advantages. But let's get the fact right. Apple is not the most valuable computer company on earth because of the "machines". If they were, then they would own that market. They don't. They got to be so successful because of the nice selection and decent design of many various products and services (and at a high price too). Apple does some really clever things, but also some dumb things as well. I'm looking to avoid the dumb things.

Why does my brand new shuffle have static

Why does my brand new shuffle have static?

Describe it a little. Is it like very loud? Or hardly notable? It could be your headphones giving you that issue. Have you tried a different set of headphones?

Why does my brand new iphone die???

Why does my brand new iphone die???

sorry!!!
Make sure that the USB cable is plugged into the iPhone 4S and iTunes is running. (The only reason we have iTunes running is that, once the device boots into DFU, iTunes will prompt you with a dialogue box.)
Now, turn the device off by holding the power button till Slide to Power Off appears on screen. (If you plugged in the cable after turning the device off, it will turn on again.)
With your device off. press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds.
Without releasing the Power button, press the Home button and keep both the buttons pressed for 10 more seconds.
Release the Power button, but keep the Home button pressed for another 10 seconds.
The device should kick into DFU mode in around the 7th or 8th second, and iTunes will display a prompt that say's "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode you must restore....
The black and totally blank screen is totally normal; there is no need to be alarmed. This was all that it took for you to put your iPhone 4S in DFU mode.
Click on "OK" and follow the steps to restore iPhone.

Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box?

Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box? Shouldn't it have 0 because it's brand new.

Yes it should have 0. I would return it, that means that the battery has already went through 13 full cycles. Perhaps they accidentally resold a returned one as new.

My brand new iMac loses its WiFi connection when it goes to sleep, does anyone have a proven fix?.

I have a MacBook that is about 4 years old and a brand new iMac both are running the most up to date version of Lion. My old MacBook has no issues; however, my iMac loses its WiFi connection every time it goes to sleep. There are some discussions about this already out there but does anyone have a proven fix. This is very frustrating.

I was having the same problem for a long time. I tried everything but nothing seemed to make it stay connected. It was very frustrating. I just got a new Airport Extreme.....bang!.....all better. Problem gone.

Why is my brand new iMac 27' display dark?

I just bought a brand new iMac and this is what the screen looks like:
at full brightness:
http://uploadphotos.co/images/17459272055549859163.jpg
At lowest brightness the glitch is not even visible:
http://uploadphotos.co/images/91589219794648838918.jpg
I've taken screenshots and the darkening/glitch doesn't appear in the screenshots so it must be the display itself.
It's the brand new 3.4 ghz intel core i7...
Is there a firmware update or something for this?
Ie, is it a known issue or do I just have a deffective display?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It may be that if you call Apple Customer Support, the Tech may be able to give you a "fix" over the phone or at least help you diagnose the problem. If you have to ship it back, try to arrange with Apple to have a delivery service (i.e. UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.) pick up the computer at your home with insured shipping both ways.
Try to work with the Apple Customer Support.

Why does my brand new HP Officejet 5740 have extremely poor quality scan results?

My brand new HP Officejet 5740 has extremely poor quality scan results!
Excessive and unacceptable amounts of white specs appear in the resulting jpegs, of what are perfectly clean, orignal, dark, documents, pages and photos, when placed into the scanner. Why is this happening???
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?

Hi @mpstone1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not happy with the scan quality on your new HP Officejet 5740, when you scan something you are getting alot of white specs.
I would like you to first perform a Hard Reset on the OJ 5740:
1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.
Please continue here: Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans, complete the steps listed, make sure the scanner lid is fully down when powering on, do not lift the lid until the printer is fully initialzied.
If after the troubleshooting has been done the copy quality has not improved, contact our technical support at 800-474-6836 as it may be the hardware and you would still be in warranty. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Why is my brand new iMac so slow?

Hi,
I bought my iMac about four months ago. Never had a Mac before and I'd been looking foreward to it
for a long time!
Specs: iMac 27" | OS X 10.6.8 | quad core | 2.7GHz | 4 gig ram | 1 TB disk | 1333 MHz | DDR3
Very early it striked me how slow this machine was! Starting and rebooting is insanely quick, but
that's about it! I work in Photoshop, and it is just horrible. It crashes all the time! I am used to work
with several layers, I can't do that here. Because it's sooo slow...
I also work in a 3D program called ArchiCad and this is even worse! I've had to teach myself a
slower workflow to prevent it from crashing. I hate it...
If both Photoshop and ArchiCad is open at the same time, the Mac crashes VERY fast. I have to force quit app's
and reboot the Mac often. Sometimes several times in one day.
I see this little circus wheel all the time and it's driving me nuts!
Sometimes the Mac just crashes without having lots of apps open. I might have a couple of browsers open,
a word document, finder and a priview. And it crashes!
And I have to do the eternal job of force quitting and trying to tell the Mac to reboot. This often takes a while.
The Mac is full of small problems also.
- I have to install the magic mouse all the time! It just gets lost and I have to use my track pad
to search for it. Even though the batteries are new. Sometimes this only happends once every
second week, sometimes it happens 15 times a' day.
- Sometimes I can flip between pages in web browsers by swiping with the mouse, sometimes I can't.
Sometimes I can do this when working with folders, sometimes I can't.
- I often have problems with Java.
- The web browser Opera crashes all the time. Can't use it.
- Sometimes, videos from f.eks youtube can't play.
- Just opening a photo in preview can take 10 seconds! Not allways, but sometimes.
- Using cover flow with images is useless. It uses so much time to preview the photos with good quality.
You might wonder, what have this dude done to his Mac?
I have installed Photoshop, ArchiCad, Chrome, Opera and a small app for browsing an old iPod touch.
That's it!
Since I'm a photographer I've also put a lot of photos here, but not more than perfaps 100GB. Max!
I am very, very carefull with what kind of websites I visit. I never visit a website I don't trust.
I don't download anything (movies, games etc). Everything I have is original. No pirate.
So I brought it wth me to my local apple store. They thought it was a problem with the disc.
After being without the Mac for a week they told me nothing was wrong with it. It was perfect they said!
My jaw dropped all the way to the floor.
All they could say was that I could format and reinstall the intire system and/or upgrade to 8BG ram.
Do you guys think this will help? Why should I reinstall? I can't understand how I could've screeved the system up!
And really? I should use MORE money and upgrade to 8gb Ram? My previous 2gb Ram PC was so much faster! Is this necessary?
I hope someone can give me any advice.
I feel lost. This is by far the worst purchase I've ever done. I hate my Mac...

Well,
To start Dan, you are using quite a few CPU, GPU, RAM and HD intensive apps.
4 GBs of RAM isn,t going to cut it. 8 GBs isn't going to cut it! Not at all! 4 GBs Of RAM is the base (read minimal ) RAM the iMac model you bought comes with. It doesn't mean it's enough to run lots of Applications. Epecially processor intense applications you're trying to run!
Every re-iteration of OS X uses more and more CPU, GPU, RAM and HD resources.
OS X, BY ITSELF, needs between 2-4 GBs of RAM just to do its things smoothly.
Using Photoshop alone needs oodles of CPU, GPU, RAM and HD space for scratch disks.
If you are a seasoned Photoshop/Adobe user, you should already know this fact!
ArchiCad is another, CPU, GPU and RAM heavy app.
You have various browsers, email, word documents open simultaneously? Really?
More than one web browser open? Web Browsers also eat up lots CPU and GPU cycles and RAM!
The thing that eats up CPU, GPU and RAM cycles with web browsers is Adobe Flash and to some extent Java.
You're trying to run all these thing on very little to no RAM horsepower!!!
You're asking your iMac to run all these heavy processing apps with no additonal RAM available to do so.
As you've discovered, this is not working.
You're probably getting a lot of page in/outs and virtual memory swapping between real RAM and the hard drive.
You need to install, AT THE VERY LEAST, 12 GBs of RAM! I would just install 16 GBs of RAM and be done.
Your iMac can take up to 32 GBs of RAM, but this, I think maybe overkill. Try your system with 16 GBs first.
I have a 2009 27 inch iMac with 16 GBs of RAM running CAD and Adobe CS 3 and Blender 3D and other processor intensive apps with very little issues.
Buy reliable RAM from online sellers Crucial memory or OWC.
As wise advice from me, if you want to experience a smooth and productive Mac experience, do not upgrade your iMac to 10.7 or 10.8.
10.6.8 Snow Leopard is the last "real" version of the previous Mac OS X versions that many of us still love and use. Newer versions of the OS, basically, still have many issues and turn your iMac into a giant iPod, iPHone or iPad., Instead of being a fully customizable and reliable OS.
The magic mouse is really a crppy mouse to use with drawing and painting applications like we both use.
Ditch it and purchase either the old RF style Mac compatible wireless laser mice or purchase a wired mouse.
These mice are more accurate pointing and tracking devices.
Look at Mac compatible mice models from Microsoft, Logitech, Kensington or Apple
The battery life of the magic mouse is just poor, also. Its tracking is poor for fine mouse movements, too!
Does your wireless trackpad work any better? Is it better on baterries? Do you get fine control using it?
If the trackpad is better, than just ditch the magic mouse all together.
If the trackpad give you trouble, too, ditch it for a more accurate mouse, trackball or trackpad from another manufacturer other than Apple. Again, Mac compatible trackpads from Microsoft, Logitech and Kensington.

Why does my brand new Apple TV rarely work?

Got the new apple TV but it never works!!
Switch it on, turn on home sharing, all ok....I see my library on the TV, when I click on it, it disappears!
It does work sometimes but thats not good enough, it should work every time! I am trying to move with the times and save space by downloading digital films only but if its so much hassle to watch a film, why bother?
Does it happen to others and if so, can anything be done to sort it?
Cheers!

Why does my brand new iPhone 5 show 6 days of talk time under the cell usage section of the general settings ? Was my phone repackaged ?

Just curious if I can find this out somewhere ? I purchased new from A Verizon owned store .... When i go to general then usage and then cellular usage it says the phone was reset and that prior to the rest there was 6 days and 2 hours of talk time ? I also purchased a new iPhone 5 for my wife and checked her settings and hers does not show this usage.....
Just looking for some kind of logical explanation and it i should be concerned and return it....
Thanks

Restored from the back up from my 4S
Should the all time usage meter copy over too ? That seems odd

Why does my brand new 16GB iPad Air have about 13GB?

I got an iPad Air with 16GB. I have 21 apps and the only music on here is a little over 800 songs thanks to iCloud. In my settings in the "About" section, it says I have 12.9 GB capacity and 9.0 available. Why is that? Also, if this helps, it also says I have 237 songs, but I know there are around 800. I guess I shuffled through the 800 songs and played 237. They're only on my iPad because of iCloud. But my question is: This product is a 16GB iPad Air. Why do I have just less than 13GB capacity?

After adjusting for the difference between Base10 and Base2 methods of measuring space you will find a roughly 7% difference between the 16,000,000,000 bytes and computer based GBs. Deduct the OS and pre-installed apps and you are under 13 GBs.

Restore the iPod. That should get you the 3.7GBs of usable space back.
