Desktops :: Three IMac 17"s That Don't Work Properly?
Mar 3, 2009
I am tech support for an Elementary-Middle school with an all Mac curriculum. We have been this way for just about 4 years now and our first model iMac 17 inches are no longer under warranty.
We have three iMac 17"s that don't work properly, here's the rundown:
- The First works properly fine but has a bad DVI port (we run SMARTBoards and require them for most of our classroom computers)
- The Second has a bad logic board, we don't have any other information about it
- The Third has a broken display, we're pretty sure everything else works on it.
We don't have applecare support on these three and are interested in turning them in to two (hopefully) or one working model for a teacher.
Any ideas/suggestions/resources?

Recently I bought an IMAC 27 inch with OSX 10.9.1 on it. Video editing i do with AVID MEDIA COMPOSER 6.5.4.
Then I did the upgrade to OSX 10.9.2, for sofar was everything ok. Later I did the upgrade to OSX 10.9.3 and then the problems started.
A portion of AVID no longer worked properly. So the problem was clearly the upgrade. Now my question is how can I go back to OSX 10.9.2 ...
Info:
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

I can't get my microphone to work. On the system preferences> sound> input screen, I am "line-in", with volume up, and inserting the jack registers on the volume meter of little blue bars with a spike up, but no speech through the microphone is registering.

I have a document that I downloaded from a website, but the text is very small.I would like to retype it. I need to keep it on screen so I can magnify the letters in Preview. But when I start to type in Word, the document in the space for Preview disappears.I am therefore constantly switcg back and forth. Is there any way I can leave the document open in Preview AND type while I am typing.

A few days ago I finally upgraded my iMac G4 (Flatpanel) from 10.4.9 to 10.4.11. I had not printed or scanned anything since then, but today I needed to do both, and they don't work. I think it has something to do with the upgrade because they were working just fine before that.
The printer is an Epson Stylus 777i
The Scanner is an Epson Perfection 640U
What could have changed, and how can I get my Mac and peripherals to work together again?

I have a G5 that was on 10.5.5. Then went back to 10.4 by doing an "Archive and Install" from a 10.4 install DVD (the one that one buys from Apple & is good for all computers). But now my applications will not work properly. My CS3 apps have reverted back to trial versions. FCP won't open. Disk Utilities says this version of OS doesn't support it.

I'm trying to sell my old Mac Pro (with no AppleCare), but I want to get all of the problems figured out so nothing comes up after the buyer buys it.
My RAM configuration is as follows:
2x2GB, 4x1GB
It never reads the correct amount of ram (8GB). It fluctuates between 2GB and 6GB depending on my configuration, but recently it's only been 2-4GB. I'm currently troubleshooting which RAM trays/RAM slots/RAM sticks are giving me problems. It's looking like only the innermost two slots on the upper RAM tray are working. It doesn't matter which tray i insert on the upper tray slot. It only recognizes the innermost two slots.
I've done many AHT hardware tests on the logic board (well, the entire computer), which haven't found any problems.
That said, it looks like both my trays are okay, and all of my RAM sticks are okay, just the computer is only recognizing those inner slots. Could it possibly just be a software issue, or is it looking like a problem with the LB? I just really don't want to carry my Mac Pro all the way to the Apple Store. (I have to walk there)

We have some Education iMacs that I am having some problems with. XP can be fully up to date (except SP3) without any problems, they are connected to the domain, get an IP address, correctly sync time and process group policy settings at a computer level prior to the logon screen. All this is using the ethernet port (not wireless). As soon as SP3 is applied, they don't get a DHCP address until after login, therefore they don't sync time, process policies etc. If I uninstall SP3, back to working. I have reproduced this several times on different Macs (we have about 90 that are exhibiting this). Tried different version of bootcamp drivers.
If I reserve the address in DHCP, it doesn't make a difference. I seem to only have 2 options:
1. Manually enter an IP address in Windows (this is too time consuming)
2. Leave SP3 off (this means WSUS 3.0 SP2 won't work)
Is there a newer ethernet driver outside the bootcamp package?

My hard drive crashed recently and I was able to put back everything on my MacBook's new hard drive as it was via Time Machine and my external hard drive - everything except Mail.
It put back my folders, but they were all empty - none of my emails were backed up - why is this and how can I ensure that Time Machine saves my emails when I back up? I have a Gmail account, so haven't lost my emails completely, but it's frustrating that they aren't filed as I had saved them and I will have to download them again.

I have set up my email on my new Mac (it is iCloud email set up in the usual way using my apple ID) and the mailbox is running so slowly, it takes 10 minutes to recognise an incoming email, even if I click get email (retrieve mail is set to 'automatic'). My iPhone and my iPad ping with a new email straight away and I have to sit and wait for it to show up on the Mac. The same email account on other devices is fine.
Even worse - when I delete emails they disappear but then show up again in the inbox straight away, nothing happens I can hit delete 5 times and it just sits there doing nothing.
I have tried removing the account from the Mac and re adding it, I've tried rebuilding the mailbox, I have tried updating the OS, I have had the apple support look at it with remote viewing and they advised I reinstall the OS which I did and so far nothing has fixed this issue.
I have had to use my iPad to go through all my emails and delete old ones in the hope that it will speed my mailbox up but its made no difference, for some reason it just will not work on the Mac.

I bought my Macbook Pro less than a year ago and the other night I was watching a TV show in itunes and I couldn't use the track pad. I was able to finally shut the Macbook down and the next morning I rebooted it. It was still acting weird and the trackpad was jumpy and would randomly start opening windows and menus as if someone was contriolling it remotely. I used my bluetooth mouse and it seemed to work ok until tonight when I was copying some files wirelessly (or trying to) and evey time I tried to select files the cursor would jump to another screen and open a menu and then select all and open all my file folders. I was able to get that to stop openin ght ewindows but I still can't use the track pad and the machine acts like it is possesed and has a mind of it's own. I have made sure file saring and screen sharing are off and the battery shows to be normal from doing the control+battery test.

Very recently, a search for a particular artist starting yielding songs by that artist but also many other artists. Some might think I shouldn't be disturbed by this, but the search function was perfect until now. There were no unwanted selections. What is wrong? How can I get iTunes to function as perfectly as it has for many years?

After I executed automation and default clean up function with Onyx. After reboot Finder doesn't open anymore on the menu bar there are only three options: finder, files, help. I have to click on the finder menu and choose run full finder to get it back to work.
Launchpad simply doesn't show anything anymore
spotlight just disappeared...
Im able to create a new account and everything works fine. I have keychain in the current account so it will be better if I can fix this.

I noticed that my Messages on youtube are instantly deleted when I comment on some peoples Youtube channels. I don't think its the person that owns the youtube channels doing it because it is deleted almost instantly after I log out. It's very odd and I don't think its youtube censoring my comment because I'm not cursing in the comment and I don't believe cursing is against the TOS on Youtube anyways.
Another thing I notice is that when I'm on a flash based chatroom that when someone I am talking to has left the chatroom it will still say they are in the chatroom until I click on my friendlist and than they turn red as if they are gone. It is very odd that I am noticing these strange bugs. However the chatroom thing could be a chatroom problem because it might do that on my Windows side which I never checked because I'm usually on that chatroom on my Mac side.

it feels like someone else is controlling my mouse. This just started happening. My trackpad doesn't work or works sporadically. While typing the pointer is scrolling all over my screen.

I'm new here, but not new to the Mac world. I own an intel iMac and while I was attempting to restart it on Sunday night it went into a gray screen with the box asking me to shut and restart in several languages. I did and still get stuck on that page. I did a PRAM reset and that didn't work. So I used my start up disk to get to the disk utility and my HD is fine so I used an external drive to install the OS on it and reboot from and reinstalled from TimeMachine (only problem is the last time I backed up was 5 months ago)Again I checked my internal drive and everything seems okay, but I cannot reboot from it. BTW, I've OS 10.6.2,
