mechanism to tilt the iMac screen broke

Hello

The failover mechanism on my iMac end of 2012 has broken.  Any suggestions on how it could be fixed (other than the Apple store)?

Uh oh...

A lot of other posts talk about this, for ex:

Design flaw? just abandoned iMac 27 "2013 stand!

The main problem is that the hinge of the iMac is back, which means you must empty ALL contents of the iMac before being able to access. iFixit.com, the reference when it comes to tutorials for repairing Macs, don't even have * an article to fix the hinge, because it is such a hassle. Some stores may accept to fix, but it will cost a lot, because it's the longest repair to do on an iMac...

* (unless they added a recently and I am not aware; correct me if this is a mistake)

  • the iMac screen double 4 k

    I have a new (early 2016, iMac) and want to connect two displays 4 k (3840 x 2160). I can't find a definitive guidance on how to do so. Monitors have 2 x HDMI, 2 x entries DVI & DP. Some sources seem to say that the HDMI is limited to 1080 p... just older than variants s? What cards are needed for this?

    Thank you

  • Black flashing when using Photoshop on the iMac screen 4 k

    The black experience flashes when you use photoshop cc on my new 21.5 inch 4 k res screen. There is anecdotal evidence that I'm not the only one... usually happens when the cursor changes to the image of the arrow tool to select an option in the menu. At its worst I get the appearance of horizontal bands and duplication of the image. Have talked at length to Apple and they say that maybe that's a problem of graphics card or graphics incompatibility with Adobe? Does anyone else know this annoying problem? have you solved?

    This is a known issue on these machines, and we expect to hear back from Apple on the OS bug that forced him.

  • iMac returns to the login screen once logged on 10.11.6 version

    After you install the update for El Capitan 10.11.6 my iMac (21.5 "mid-2010) returns to just login screen after I connect.  The disc is fine and the permissions are correct.  I can start safe mode and connect without problems.  Any ideas?

    Greetings JPfromFairfield,

    Thanks for your post. I see that your Mac goes back to the login screen after you connected. You mentioned that you have done to ensure that the disc is fine and the permissions are good. Those who are very advanced. I know how much I rely on my Mac so I'll be more than happy to help.

    With your computer is able to start properly in Mode safe, this indicates that there may be a third-party service that is causing problems. I have some articles for you to check.

    You can remove all items start and the login items, and then test to see if you can boot normally, if you can, you can add one item at a time and continue his tests to see how the origin of the problem.

    Take care!

  • How to set the contrast of the screen of the iMac?

    Bought a new light to the office where I have the iMac 27 ". Unfortunately, the light produced by this new device shines more directly on the screen of the iMac, does the old light. Thus, when the light is on, the iMac adjusts the contrast of the screen so that the display appears quite washed out. When I turn on the light, the iMac readjusts the contrast to normal. (No, I can't adjust the position of the device, it is mounted directly on the desktop in the only possible way.)

    This seems to be an automatic adjustment of the iMac. At least, I can't find any sort of manual for setting the contrast. Is it possible to do so. Create a new color profile? Another tool?

    Thank you!

    Steve,

    You have a "automatically adjusts brightness" setting in system preferences > displays > display...?

    Automatically adjust the brightness or Ambient light compensation (depending on your screen)

    If your Mac has detection of ambient light, you can have the brightness of the screen automatically adjust according to the current light conditions.

    Hi, Paul.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    Looks like your iMac restarts unexpectedly or does not start.  If this is the case, here are some troubleshooting steps that I will that begin you with.

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning
