• What is the problem with my iMac mid-2011

  Hello

  Need help find out what is the problem with my iMac to mid-2011.

  Yesterday during a reboot it just never came to life.

  On turning the power on, I get the RINGTONE to start and that's it. The screen is totally black. Nothing behind tried with a torch.

  VRAM rearmament so far I tried repeatedly, unplug and plug, all kinds of combinations of keys in the carillon and nothing.

  Connected to an external monitor and shows nothing of too - no signal.

  Any way that I can know what is wrong with it before sending it to the service tech? I suspect bad graphics card but how do you ensure?

  From what you describe, it looks like a hardware issue that Apple will only be able to resolve, but not to despair immediately.

  Read it please get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac - Apple Support.

  I know that the title and subject are not suitable to your concern, but buried in this document is the following passage that contains three links describing the steps to follow.

  If you can not change the resolution of your screen because you see no image, restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

  If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

  That first, then write again for additional suggestions if you are still having problems.

• problem with my iMac?

  On my iMac 27 "screen keeps flashing black and it becomes more common.  Why would he do that?  It is likely to fail completely?  How can I fix it please?

  I've posted this before, but nobody seems to have answered.  Is there someone out there who can give advice on this please?

  If it will not screensaver, then it is very likely a hardware problem.

  How can I fix it please?

  Make an appointment with a service to your Apple Store or FSAA.

• Display problems with the iMac

  

  The latest version of PS CC 2014 and 2015 is now made of images like that.  This happens usually when I have already some open images.  I have this iMac for more than three years and it is that recently I've had this problem.  I removed all my plugins NIC has even thought that they have not been installed.

  Sometimes using the maginifier to resize the image, helps, but just as often it is not.

  I work in PS every day and I am constantly seeing that.  It's not fun.

• Problems with an iMac 2013 end of printing

  I use an iMac 2013 end using the operating system of Yosemite. I have a Brother printer model # MFC - 7360N printer multifunction. Sometimes it will print a small portion of an e-mail, especially from the left side and not the entire document. I can't understand why. My computer is on a network at the office and if I try to use network printers, she will do the same. Help please!

• iMac 27 "mid-2011 - Intermittent problem with CPU fan running at full speed and sleep mode.

  Hello!

  My iMac 27 "has an intermittent problem with the CPU fan runs at full speed. Sometimes it happens at the time when I start it, sometimes only in my session, and sometimes only after a certain time. So does seem to be a problem of "heating".

  Second issue is with the mode 'sleep'. It may occur also at any time, at the start of the iMac, session, or after a certain time. But once he starts to go in mode 'sleep', when I wake up, it goes right back in mode after a few seconds and that it will continue indefinitely until I restart the computer.

  What could be?

  Please help me!

• Problem with upgrade RAM on iMac 21 ", mid-2011

  Hello

  my iMac has 4 RAM slots. Already built in which 2x2gb. I have it decorated 2 x 4 GB.

  After a while, I met a problem, a strange tone while booting, RAM failure signalling. I removed a RAM 2 GB module, my iMac worked well for overall with 10 GB of RAM, but more slowly. I bought another 2x4gb and wanted to improve the memory. Once the odd tone.

  What really surprised me, that even I have exchanged only the remaining 2 GB module with a module of 4GB, even leading to the Strange tone (of course also two openings with 4 GB respectively). 2 former GB slots do not work with 4 GB of RAM modules, even if the capacity of the iMac is 16 GB.

  I tried the Apple, no where to found error hardware test. I was carefully choosing compatible right modules RAM (Corsair DDR3, 1 333 Mhz).

  What's wrong with my iMac?

  Kind regards

  What brand is the third party of ram?

• Problems with the Display Mode target on end 2009 27 "iMac

  Used late 2009 iMac 27 "in the view target in conjunction with a Dell XPS tower with i7 processor, Windows 7 and the best graphics card I could afford at the time connected by HDMI to mini display port cable.  Worked well for years.  Set aside Dell for a few months and the update of the iMac to El Capitan OS 10.11.3.  Recently tried old setup with same Dell PC and was able to move from Mac to PC, but the PC screen resolution was at the lowest setting. I got an error message when enabling/disabling to PC who said there was a problem with the port causing mini display of the system back to the lowest resolution. Impossible to reset at a higher resolution.

  I tested the Dell PC on another monitor, and it works very well at higher resolution (2560 X 1440). Now, when I reconnected it to the iMac (which works fine), the screen becomes black.

  Is it possible that the operating system upgraded (El Capitan) is not compatible with the targets using mini display port Display Mode?  Any ideas?

  Use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode , also consider having a bad cable or connection. Does not hurt to try different cables, they can and will the bad!

• Starting problem with the gray screen on iMac

  Hello everyone

  I'm a bit puzzled with a problem I'm having with my iMac 27 "a model late 2009, bought in early 2010, I had built at the time with 8 GB ram, 2 TB HD and fastest i7 Quad core processor available at the time.

  I'm running El Capitan, and all wise OS is perfectly up to date.

  The other week, after a systematic restart, I have a gray screen and little else.  Another reboot and everything was "normal", so I did not concern me unduly.

  Today, after that the Mac had been idle for a time during a call, the screen fell asleep as usual (I do not SLEEP the computer itself), but during his return and touch the SPACEBAR and key "ESC", the screen remains black.

  So I made a forced shutdown and restart.

  I get the screen gray and normal startup (no other sounds) chime followed by the apple logo and the startup progress bar.  He gets to halfway through the long, and then instead of bring to the top of the login page, it's just going to a gray screen Uni.

  So I restarted in safe mode, OK and ran disk utility a couple of times - at the first crossing, he noted, there a problem with the map of partition which can cause problems starting, but on the second passes and the following, everything has been noted to be OK - and the SMART status of disk has been verified.

  After a reboot - the same question as above - of carillon, gray screen with the apple logo, progress bar and then just a gray screen.  I did another secure boot and re-run of disk utility, rebooted into recovery mode and run disk utility.  And again, no problems reported.

  Another reboot and the issue was always there.

  So this time I rebooted into recovery again mode and downloaded a new installation of El Capitan.

  Unfortunately, there is no set - it is always start on a gray screen after the startup chime, the apple logo and progress bar.

  I have also removed all my account account startup items and disconnected all USB devices.

  I'm a bit lost for what to do next to be honest!

  Is there anything else I can do software wise, at home, or is it time for the repair material re shop perhaps?

  Thank you very much for your words of wisdom and support

  Kind regards

  John... :-)

  John here again: :-)

  Just a quick update which may help to determine what the problem is: I restarted in safe mode, after the reinstallation of the operating system was unable to initialize properly - grey screen again.

  However, as I have a home network, I found that I can not connect on the network with my MacBook Pro to the iMac, see all my files user on the iMac and even copy them across to the MacBook Pro with no problems.

  Everything on the iMac is saved via Time Machine on a Western Digital Firewire HD 3to.

  I also have uncompressed manual 'straight' copies of my music, movies, documents folders, etc, for an old time Capsule, currently acting as a bridge to my ethernet network wireless, and provide additional backup for those critical files - my music for example is ripped 350 odd CD, all legally purchased in ALAC on iTunes on the iMac - which represents a couple of months of work... lol... no way I want to lose that!

  So I'm a bit of a loss.  Disk utility reported no problem with the drive... I can boot into safe mode and recovery, but normal mode 'mode '... I always get the chime, the screen with apple logo and progress of the gray bar, then goes to just a gray screen instead of the login page.

  Help!

  My beloved Einstein had a hiccup!

  All comments appreciated and thanks again - hope this extra info helps

• Problems with El Capitan on iMac 27 "end 2013

  Hello. I had some problems with my end 2013 27 "iMac. The majority of my problems seems to be turning around not being able to wake from its slumber unless I hard boot the system. I am running the operating system more recent 10.11.3

  Sleep problems have started with my installation of El Capitan. I have reset the PRAM the SMC and have disabled the hibernation and Energy Saver preferences are set to never spin down hard drives or screen saver. Problem persists.

  I also experience unexpected freezes. When these occur usually, audio on my system continues (if listening to iTunes or in a video game, the audio keeps going) but there is no response from the mouse or the movement on the screen at all. key board does not respond and mouse is frozen. The last time I had it's happen I had a panic the kernel to reboot (see below for the report)

  I tried everything I can think of. I've scoured the forums on the internet for help and support. Im not sure if this is hardware or software related. I tried to unplug all of my devices - I have several hard drives USB and Thunderbolt. I have a second monitor connected via the bolt of lightning as well. This could be a video card problem?

  I have used the EtreCheck software and have gotten several things that make me wonder if it's the software however, it seems that somewhere I still have pieces of teamviewer lingering around, even if I had uninstalled the software and I can't find anything in the spotlight for her. Here is an excerpt of my report...

  Some things I noticed - I had questions on shut down the system. My computer completely sometimes turns. I have to force quit the finder or the dock still will remain open and prevent the closing down. If this happens, then I need hard closed by pushing the power button until the device turns off. My system is INCREDIBLY slow sometimes since the upgrade as well at el capitan.

  I had a few problems with the big Adobe applications as well - sometimes illustrator or photoshop does any open or apps say they are open in the dock and in the force to quit smoking, but do not show in the activity monitor. In this case I have to restart my system for most work. force quit does not help them.

  Sorry for the long post, but I have worked on Macs since OS7 and even worked in an apple store genius bar for awhile so I generally know what I can do to fix these but I can't get it probably remain fixed. I thought better to have as much information as possible. My next step is to reload the entire OS, but I have a lot of work here that I'm afraid to lose (even though I have several back ups via time machine and other copies on external drives)

  Any help and advice would be most appreciated!

  Thank you!

• Mid 2007 iMac - problem with install Clean El Capitan

  I have a (very) old mid 2007 iMac that I tried to do a clean install of El Capitan to a USB flash drive.

  I used the following instructions to create a bootable USB El Capitan:

  http://Mashable.com/2015/10/01/clean-install-OS-x-El-Capitan/#5K.kLrHcpEq3

  The USB boot media creation went through without any problems. However, when I try to start the iMac from the drive flash, iMac stays on the screen of the Apple logo for a few minutes and then restarts.

  The iMac was initially Mavericks recovery utility is restarted after I erased the hard drive. To avoid any possible problems with the installer of El Capitan, I used an older DVD of Snow Leopard to remove the Mavericks recovery from disk. The drive is now without an operating system or recovery utilities.

  I suspect a problem with the hardware with the hard drive or flash drive that I use. The hard drive has been erased with a single pass of zeros using disk utility. The flash drive, I regularly use as disk bootable for PC.

  My only other option at this point is to install Snow Leopard, install upgrade to El Capitan, and then use the recovery of El Capitan to do a cleaning.

  I was wondering if anyone else encountered this problem and has a solution.

  Thank you.

  Just to update.

  I decided to take the long road with this to install El Capitan on this iMac.

  Here are the steps I took to install OS x:

  • Wipe all existing partitions on the hard disk, including my former Mavericks recovery partition.
  • Installed Snow Leopard from the installation DVD. Updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8
  • A ran Installer El Capitan
  • Started in the El Capitan recovery utility. I have reset (formatted) the reader.
  • Re-installed El Capitan.

  I could not only solve problems with my key USB install media. It wasn't a complete disaster since I already had existing media that I could use for my iMac back on its feet. My mistake was wipe my existing facility for the Mavericks before check my USB as bootable. Installation took much longer than I anticipated for this reason.

  So, in conclusion, do a clean install on this model iMac is possible, but I highly recommend checking any bootable media before you delete your existing installation of Mac OS. The best route (and easier) is upgrading the OS.

• Photoshop CC 2015 is causing huge problems on my iMac with El Capitan installed.

  Photoshop CC 2015 is causing huge problems on my iMac 5 K with El Capitan installed. It feels like most of the actions are running with 5 to 10 images by Mithraeum. It's not smooth. Really rough when you try to move objects in a photoshop document.

  Moreover, I need to hold my finger on the left button of the mouse, then release it after 1-2 seconds to get the optional tools like paint bucket, healing brush and other things. Before you installed El Capitan, it was just like this: hold down the mouse button and drag the tool you want to select. This implies a bug.

  Hi hemdabella,

  Please try and reset the Photoshop preferences.

  Steps to follow:

  To re-create the Photoshop preferences files, start the application while pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or command + Option + shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop settings file?"

  Let us know if that helps.

  Kind regards
