Mac firmware update. FYI: The next day after applying the firmware update (and AL kbd firmware update) on my refurb AL i. Mac (2. 4in/2. 4. GHz) after waking it from sleep (OS X 1. I saw some major screen corruption (corrupted text in windows, several large black squares with white spots/lines).
Slept it again (menu item) and woke it - Mail had corrupted text still, so I quit/relaunched Mail which cleared its window but still saw a large black (w/white noise spots/lines) square over one of the Safari windows that moved with the web page window. Never saw this before in months of daily use before the firmware update but then problems can appear at any time. I put the system to sleep again and on the next wake got the BBOD (beachball cursor - can't select anything, nor force quit..). Forced a shutdown and rebooted. Maybe some other issue, but odd that it happened for the first time after the firmware update.
The next day I saw the same thing - although I'd slept/woke the i. Mac about a dozen times during the day, at appx 8. PM Thursday night on waking it the screen was totally corrupted again (worse than yesterday).. Update/FYI - both times I had Firefox 2.
FF 2. 0. 0. 1. 4 (Javascript fix) and disabling Javascript in Fire. Fox. Graphics failure? This may just be a random failure but posting by request to see if any other AL i. Mac owners have seen this.
Mac ATI 2. 60. 0 HD failed.. Hi Mike, .. last time I wrote you was back on October 4th 2. I ended up buying a 2. Al- imac 2. 4ghz. Never had any problems with the graphics until 2 days ago. I have the eyetv hybrid (and use it extensively).
With March madness upon us I was watching live tv in one window, watching internet feed from NCAA. Well all this good fun was too much for the Radeon 2. HD. I put the computer to sleep and when I came back later the screen was a moray checkerboard pattern with 1. When I forced a reboot the same distortion immediately re- appeared and I had a sinking feeling that the graphic bug finally bit me. Sure enough after 5 hours of all the usual diagnosis techniques that i have read about on your site throughout the years (trying to boot from cd, ram swap, disconnecting all peripherals, zapping pram, Verbose boot, Single user mode, hardware test, safe mode start) to no avail could I avoid the kernel panic during bootup except with a safe mode start and turning the colors to thousands instead of millions would eliminate 9. Anyway, the imac went to the apple store and as soon as the genius saw the pattern he immediately turned off the computer and took it in the back for servicing. The good news is that Applecare is covering all repairs because it is still under the one year warranty.
In 7- 1. 0 days I should have it back, in the meantime I'm back to my trusty powerbook g. Perhaps you should consider purchasing the extended warranty as I will after this incident.
Anything with ATI and 2. I wonder how many others with 2.
I have. I feel bad for the new Mac Pro owners that are struggling with the 2. XT problems, I feel their pain. Thanks again, James G. Knock on wood this (refurb) AL i. Mac (2. 4. GHz) so far has been trouble- free (bought in late Nov. Graphics firmware update day 1). But if any other AL i.

Regards, Paul (UK)"Refurb i. Mac 2. 4in/2. 4. GHz first impressions (Dec.
Just a few quick notes on a refurbished 2. Mac (2. 4. GHz, WD 3. GB HD) I had ordered last week after finally giving up on (repeatedly) fixing a failing older G4 model. Normally I'd never buy a mac this close to a MW Expo but I needed a replacement machine ASAP and every time I put off a purchase something comes up to take up the $$$ I had set aside.)I spent most of the day yesterday using it, copying GB's of files over, configuring it (finally setup the 8. AE base I bought a couple months ago), installing updates, etc. Software update showed several updates including 1.
Mac graphics firmware update, etc. OK. The display looks very good IMHO and due to the frame seems larger than the Dell 2. LCD I use with my G5 Tower. Today I ran LCD test 2. No bad/stuck pixels but some slight variation in backlight uniformity on the solid color tests although that improved after about an hour or so of warmup.
I've not done a custom colorsync profile yet (I've never tried Supercal on an intel- based mac, nor under Leopard but I preferred Super. Cal over the included utility since I first saw it in 2. This is the first "new" Mac I've gotten since the Dual 2.
GHz G5 tower in 2. It came with only the base 1. GB (1 sodimm) so I Installed a pair of 2. GB SODIMMs from OWC I bought last week (under $1.
UB updated UT2. 00. First to Fight) to see if this refub would have any 'freezing' issues some have reported - no problems seen so far. No benchmarking done but overall I'm satisfied with the performance in general - only the Superdrive (Matshita UJ- 8. J, firmware FMOS) seems a bit slow but then it's a notebook model and only 8x max rated. I realize the limits of the 2.
HD graphics but it wasn't bought as a gaming machine.)I was also glad to see no insufficient power warnings when connecting my (old) Kodak multi- format memory card reader into the AL keyboard. I get that warning with the AL keyboard on my G5 tower despite apple's notes about the AL keyboard power sourcing.).
I ditched the included mighty mouse for a Logitech LX3 ($2. Leopard I burned a DVD from the Finder and a CD in i. Tunes OK (and I also burned a DVD in Toast 6. G5 tower). But then I'd be rich if I had $1 for every OS X update/upgrade problem that wasn't 1. Knock on wood so far my experience with this refurb i. Mac would make a great Apple commercial, although not everyone has been so fortunate.
I do really wish the i. Macs had an access bay for hard drive replacement (not just for upgrades which would be a *huge* plus but also for easy replacement when a drive fails, which all will eventually). At some point I'll tear it apart and upgrade the hard drive (I'd pick a 1.
TB Hitachi) but for now I've got no complaints with this refurb 2. Mac. It's light- years better than the i. Mac G4 it replaced.
