My iMac display leaving 'ghosting. '

I have a mid 2015 27 "iMac refurb and sometimes windows that I closed leave them a kind of"ghost image"of the left on the display window. He ends by goes, when I open a new window or a little more time. Is this normal or my screen need to be repaired? Does not seem normal.

  • Internal display flicker, ghosts, black flashing

    When you open the lid, the screen started "seers" black, I hear by then the screen will turn on and off, but when on, only show a black screen.  You can see what I mean here. When the internal display turns off, external displays for one second lag.

    Sometimes, the internal display will show what is actually on the screen, but it will flicker severely and superimpose a ghost of the screen on to halfway to the bottom of the screen, visible here.  External poster work very well, although they tear sometimes for a millisecond or two.  The computer works fine, I just can't see what I'm doing.  I am posting this from the computer using an external monitor.

    Steps than to attempt to resolve, I took:

    -J' test to see if it's a problem that the operating system sees or simply the screen by making an entry using Quicktime screen, and no problem in the recorded video.

    -Apple diagnostic test revealed no problems found (reference code: ADP000)

    -Reinstall OS X several times

    -Starts in Bootcamp, same problem with the internal display

    My thought is that it's a bad display cable, the screen inverter or any other Apple diagnostic Test does not cover.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Hello CAWeissen,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that your MacBook Pro screen flashes only a black screen, but you can use external screens without problem. I know how much I use my Mac and using an external display is nice, but I do not always want to use a. You did a lot of great troubleshooting so far! An extra step that I would recommend would be to reset the NVRAM.

    This article includes the steps to reset the NVRAM:

    How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac.

    Reset the NVRAM

    1. Stop your Mac.
    2. Look for the following keys on the keyboard: command (⌘), Option, P, and R.
    3. Turn on your Mac.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys, immediately after hearing the startup sound.
    5. Hold down these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the tone of starting for a second time.
    6. Release the keys.

    Also, just in case it turns out to be a hardware problem, we want to ensure that there is a current backup of your computer information.  For more information and creating a backup, check out this article here:

  • 5K iMac display driver problem crashing end of 2015

    I have a new end 2015 27 "5K iMac, CTO with the i7, Fusion of 3 TB drive and the M395X w / 4 GB of VRAM. I got the plug 8 GB of RAM but put 16 GB of RAM spec Apple Crucial in both. All are adapted. I have clean education installed windows 10 via bootcamp, I also used to divide the disc fusion in partitions of equal size. I had some problems initially with Bluetooth for the magic mouse and display and had to manually install the drivers for the two. In the case of Bluetooth several times. By a very large extent, it was worth the most I got with an installation of bootcamp since the first version as issued. I don't know if it's windows or apple it was a mess of God awful things installed partially or not at all.

    In any case, I got things set to the point where the system seemed stable and decided to start running some games through steam. This is when I started to have a great many problems with the system. More specifically, when I play games on steam I frequently either crash to the desktop or system chokes and throws me back to the default windows display drivers. I say this because I can't see the error appearing frequently in the observer of events just before these accidents is "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered." Usually, I have two error messages in a line in the newspaper timed just before the accident happens so I am sure that the pilot does not successfully and two kicks me back to the default windows display driver and the locking system until I quit the game via the Task Manager or comes crashing down on the desk. According to the event viewer, I had 20 warning messages (event ID 4101) in the last nine days (yes I play a lot for a 50 year old man).

    Seriously, what gives apple? I drop to $3K on a machine and I can't even enjoy a game that this card should be more capable of running at a decent resolution (Fallout 4) because the drivers suck. AMD released the bootcamp drivers on September 21 last year. They claim they have the latest drivers available (and their latest stable version for systems non-bootcamp is December 15 last year, after having released only 12 days ago the beta drivers) for bootcamp, but you guys are sitting on them because you certify drivers. So, yet again, what gives? Can we get the drivers, we need to use the systems we paid a premium for it please?

    If you want to try non-Apple certified drivers, you can test with WHQL drivers, or try and BCA allows you to download the latest available package and check the version of the drivers available vs installed. AMD GPU are bad when they are in the Mac running Windows. This does not happen on OS X side.

    There are number of threads about the drivers for the AMD GPU and a lot of experimentation within the CSA for Windows drivers.

  • 2013 21 "iMac display problem

    Last weekend, view my 21.5 "of the iMac has become completely black all in use, and command + option + p + r has not helped. She came back after a while (after the restart) but only the upper third of the screen. The other two-thirds of the screen is always black with horizontal lines that change color and movement based on what happens on the screen. Top third periodically shakes, and sometimes there is also a good amount of ghosting in this part of the screen (but other times it's crystal clear, as in the photo). Does anyone have recommendations?

    I hate to say it, but it seems that the GPU has not, have you AppleCare on this machine? If, then it will be covered, if it is not sorry, it will be an out-of-pocket expense to repair.

  • End of 2015 4 external K iMac display issues

    Hello people. My 27-inch 1920 x 1080 monitor is bugging me. It looks terrible as a second screen. So, I'm looking to get a second monitor 4K for my iMac. The main reason for this is that in my opinion the Apple Thunderbolt monitors 2K resolution aka 2560 x 1440 pixels.

    I read some mixed reviews on the iMac being incapable of managing a screen 4K of UHD to native mode (forgive the lack of the proper term).

    So I did some research more. I'm starting to think that the "Default" is in 2K resolution. If that's the case I suspect that the next option is 4K and 5K, then to "more space".

    Some thoughts: I know that I can call apple support. However, I suspect that they don't know the answer they don't sell a 4K display. I can always call according to the answers here.

    1. the spectator (someone else or I) will use even the other modes? I'm trying to acclimate to the option more space and it is a review. If I go back to 'Default' scaling the 4 K might be a waste of money.

    2 suppose I decided I can live with the option to the right of the "Default" or "More space". The new iMac will be able to run two monitors in this mode? Or will the card really bogged down? I mean if this is the case, it might be a mute point as well.

    3 Apple doesn't sell a thunderbolt 4 K screen that is convincing. The big question is "what is the reason for this? If this is the point of ball one I can keep buying a second monitor 4K. If it bullet point two and the iMac is not enough to manage the display that will be disappointing and I can be forced into a 2K monitor anything.

    So I hope that users with power in the community have a few comments and or experience with a second screen 4K. Bravo and thanks in advance!

    Bryan

    So what I want to do should work correctly according to the technical specifications . 5K monitors are way too expensive right now, so I think that will give Dell P2715Q 27 a shot.

    • At the same time supports the native resolution on the built-in display and up to two external displays 4096 by 2160 or a double-cable external 5120-by-2880
  • Ho I can spend iMac Display Mode target without having to always use the command + F2?

    I use my MBP 13 as my driver all day at work, and I use an iMac (initially, the daily pilot) as a secondary screen. I use the MBP to go to meetings and, basically, to expand my mobility at work (which is the reason why I got the laptop in the first place).

    Here's my question, how to optimize the installation so I don't have to use command + F2 on the iMac, whenever I want to thank the poster for the MBP when I plug?

  • Problem reinstalling OS on Imac 10.6.8

    Hi, I just got re [placed my hard drive failure. Before that, I have a clean copy of 10.6.8 and all data on an external drive that was taken using Time Machine. I deleted the new hard drive is visible and functional on my iMac. Basically, I couldn't reload 10.6.8 from the external drive. As an alternative to the reloading from the hard drive, I thought that it would be viable to use my installation disc to boot from, then does this and loaded 10.6.1 on the new hard drive. I chose then software upgrades, and updates 7 downloaded system update to apply, I knew would give me until 10.6.8. To complete the installation of the software updates, it requires the system to be restarted. I chose this and toolbars will disappear from the display, leaving the background screen displayed while he goes through the process of restarting. A few hours later, he still has the same screen, so has not completed the process of restarting. If I have this ends with power off, OSX is still in 10.6.1. Any help or advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

    If you try to use your iMac, Apple TV AirPlay, but the audio output automatically switches to your iMac, it may not be the flow enough on your Wi - Fi network.

    If AirPlay disconnects itself, your wireless network can be too busy or have too many wireless interference to maintain the connection of the antenna.

  • Boot camp install Win 7 on iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)"

    Hello

    I am experiencing a problem installing Win 7 on my iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)." I got this version installed two years without a problem, but now it concerns me.

    When you create the partition, bootcamp and starting from the Win 7 DVD I am able to install it without problem. When the PC reboots after you download windows support on my USB, install windows and is about to start Windows for the first time, it freezes and the screen is all black.

    I read on the support site you need to create and image of the Win 7 dvd which should be used in conjunction with boot camp, but I can't choose this option (it simply is not here) "disk image", when using boot camp.

    So what to do?

  • iMac as 2nd screen for MBP retina

    I am trying to establish and to use my old iMac (2011) (OS 10.10.5) as a second screen to my most recent of the retina MBP (OS 10.11.4) by following these guidelines, but they do not seem to work:

    Press command + F2 on the keyboard of the iMac, you want to use as a screen.
