Apple investigating iMac Core Duo video problems
Apparently some folks who have purchased Apple's new iMac Core Duo machines are experiencing video problems in Front Row -- particularly the appearance of horizontal lines during video playback. The problem reportedly affects iMac models with 256MB of VRAM, running build 8G1171 of Mac OS X v10.4.4. Seems the problem is so prevalent, Apple has actually acknowledged it in an e-mail to CRN:
"Apple is aware of this issue and is looking into it. If a customer has any technical issues, they should contact AppleCare."
Gee, thanks.
Anyone here experiencing any video problems with one of them new iMacs? ConsumerMachine.com, a site blogging about the problem, believes the issue is fully software-related and has posted a possible fix -- let us know if you have any luck.
