My friend's 17" hasn't either.

Hope it doesn't.. :(]]>Feb 9th 2006 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/

it also doesn't hurt to see apple fanboys shifting nervously in their chairs as their flawless and oh-so-superior mac gets a hitch in its getalong]]>Feb 9th 2006 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/

Far more annoying than the occasional Apple cultist is the sentiment expressed in your comment.

Way to show off that platform insecurity.]]>Feb 9th 2006 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/
I think it's most telling that people silently tolerate problems like this on other systems, typically blaming the user. Only with Apple do people get so red in the face about things like this. I have to wonder who makes a bigger deal about Apple always having to be perfect, the hardcore fanbois or the snotty neophytes?]]>Feb 9th 2006 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/Feb 9th 2006 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/
read this damn website http://www.consumermachine.com/

it says installing 8G1165 of the software fixes this issue. While 8G1171 has the software glitch.

I hate when people dont read..]]>Feb 9th 2006 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/
Gee... that has been my take on every mac since the LISA...]]>Feb 9th 2006 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/ 100 CDs in your audio collection it takes about 1 sec to search for a song and about 3 minutes in Media Center/Player.

Eventually I figured out the problem had something to do with the RAM in my machine. Whenever I have a 256mb RAM chip in the top slot I get the "faint and intermittent patches of whatever graphics are on the screen appearing in random locations," along with ghosting and horizontal lines." When the top slot is empty I NEVER have a problem (except my older PowerBook gets even slower).

One chip is the 256mb that came with it, the other is a 256mb chip from Crucial. The only difference I can find on the two chips is that original Apple chip says CL3 and the Crucial RAM says CL2. It doesn’t matter which chip is in the top slot if they are both in there at the same time, I have the problem. If either chip is in the bottom slot and the top is left empty, everything is fine. Someday I will buy new RAM and see what happens. I figure it’s either a RAM compatibility issue or the RAM slot itself is bad.

The point being, the symptoms you guys are talking about are EXACTLY the same. So maybe, it’s just a RAM issue? ]]>Feb 9th 2006 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/Feb 9th 2006 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/ When i have hardware problems with my mac i go to store and repair it, or trade it, the same with my pc.
If I buy something and it´s "broken" i go to store and trade for a new one...
The thing is, every series of a product has a number of faulty ones. It happens in every industry.

Also i don´t understand fanboys, why deffend so much a product?
I like my mac because of the sleep feature, close the lid and it´s sleeping also the white light gives me warm feelings (kidding). I like my pc beacause i can change what ever i want. But do i deffend each one with my life?
Hell No!!! Get a life!!!

( if want to see real fanboys, go to a rich group of people and say that a porche is better than ferrari, or vice versa ... it´s even worse than mac vs pc)

Ps: sorry for my bad english.

I think you should look deeper and find out that Microsoft is somehow behind this problem. You are not trying hard enough.

"Gee... that has been my take on every mac since the LISA..."

The LISA wasn't a Mac it was a different platform made by Apple...]]>Feb 12th 2006 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/(Possible overlay issues perhaps).]]>Feb 14th 2006 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/Feb 14th 2006 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/
And now I've got an iMac G5 INTEL - had it for 2 weeks - and it is great! I have the 256meg Vid card and 500 gig drive - the only problems I had so far besides a bad keyboard that freezes occasionally was when I first got it I made the mistake of loading some software from Msft which caused a conflict somewhere and would not allow me to get online. After a complete erase and install of orig software I've been flying.

I will never ever no matter what ever spend a single penny on anything made by Microsoft ever again - nor will I ever use any software made by those fools - not only is it ridiculously complicated to use - it is so full of bugs it's almost unusable anyway.

MAC ROCKS PERIOD - so get with the program man - you want to use some complicated piece of junk and be fixin computers for the rest of your life - g'head and use PC's and the crap software made for 'em.

I want to be productive. I'll stick with Mac.]]>Mar 5th 2006 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/Mar 13th 2006 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/Apr 17th 2006 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/Apr 17th 2006 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/
I discovered Macs earlier this year while working with Final Cut - no crashes, no lagging, restarting, application crashes. And I worked that G4 like a dog. I am eagerly awaiting the next iMac upgrade because I'm going to go for it and get one, and kick my current PC to the curb, then kick it when it's down.

You guys need to pipe down with the complaining about Macs - if you think they are that bad, why don't you go onto some PC forums and see how the other half are really living.]]>Aug 5th 2006 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-admits-intel-imac-video-problems/
What can I do? I'm going freaking nuts couse this suposse to be a Mac.

There's any program to avoid crashes or a manager for seeing if there's something going wrong with any program? ]]>Oct 28th 2007 4:49PM
