@audioslaverockband

That mean your heard drive is dead. Hope you backed up your work cause its gone now.

Same thing happened to two of my macs.

[RandomActsCorp]

@audioslaverockband that usually means that your iMac can't find/ boot from the os. re install mac os x, by holding the "C" key when you turn it on.

Have finally worked this out it's overheating there is sunlight warming the screen and turning it black insane someone posted they had the same issue and I tested it and yup sunlight I love my mac but really apple sort it out she says from her iPhone which rocks my world thanks all for helping :) oh yeh good one we do have computers in Australia on ya sooooo funny my side is splitting no really stop it sigh

[C0mco]

[irulethe70s]

[inkybinky786]

nice imac

[IMPMAC]

Magnets use to damage screens. but if their is a screen problem then the mac store will fix it for nothing

[htcjunkie16]

It's the Apple Retail Store.

[softdev1]

I have a "black blob" all across the top of mine except it is gray and not black and it doesn't go away. It looks like dirt but it is on the inside and I have the white iMac and not the aluminum with the screen that comes off with a suction cup.

[momo261086]

its your magnets behind the imac screen, if you got magnets near by move em

[cuove]

Dont get upset just cos u dont have a high enough paid job to afford one.

[emmab2006]

Wanker

[Dafaernir]

As YoyoFlamingo commented,its posible that a magnetic source can interfere with the circuits.

[YoyoFlamingo]

maybe a magnet is near by

[topazsin12]

but it does like goes ... so she would have to move the magnet i don't think it's a magnet

[thaillistreillist]

maybe you have something giving off a magnetic field like speakers, i dunno. move it to another room adn see if it does it

[matthewhugheswidnes]

Wait... They have computers in Australia?

[seabix]

Yer we do, and heaps of pedantic pommy assholes as you are dishwashing in our restaurants too. Shut the fuck up u wanker ...

[matthewhugheswidnes]

Troll'd.

[guitaristguy20]

Your power supply in the top left corner inside your imac is overheating the back of the screen. I had a similar problem with that. If its new just take it to the apple store and have them fix it for free.

[jancom777]

Fuck YOU,

emirilyasov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timpoa]

My new 24" iMac does the same thing, Apple had it for 2 weeks and couldn't make it happen... was your screen in direct sunlight? It happens oon mine when it gets hot from running or if the sun shines....even cold winter sun...

[agent8604]

take that shit back

[hackstudent]

shut up you

[TheAnimationCentral]

Apple says they can fix anything related to the software for free. you dont need to be under warranty. If they can't fix it they replace it. :)

[zhenya2055]

I dont have a blob, but i get red pixels appearing and disappearing! Happens about ones a week!

[HollyzChannel]

pixel broblem....

[newmac]

Don't know about the blob; but there is a worse issue the glare. Jobs decided to go glossy screen, so at the very least never have the machine facing a window....

[helpmetechshow]

I think it might help to run the color calibration wizard again and do that. Then it might help to try turning it on somewhere else to see if it's from electrical interference. If that doesn't work, I think I'd call it on applcare.

[danooct1]

I dig that accent.

[lolwithfun]

send it back to apple they will fix it
