Apple Computer appears to be investigating reports of a video glitch within its new Intel-processor-based iMac.
Some iMac owners, posting on various online forums, have reported distortions when playing in videos and other files inside Apples Front Row application.
Front Row, which comes preinstalled on the iMac, provides a special user interface with large, on-screen buttons for accessing music, video and other multimedia files, via a remote control.
The forum posts indicate the graphics glitch is mostly affeting iMac users who have opted for the high-end Radeon 5700XT GPU. A white horizontal line appears across the display. This line flickers occasionally, and there doesn’t seem to be a workaround. If you have reaktor there are a jillion glitch type ensembles in the user library.

According to accounts on numerous sites, including MacFixIt.com, some files showed tearing or the appearance of horizontal lines or other distortions when played by Front Row.
However, files shown by other applications, including Apples QuickTime multimedia software and the iMacs DVD player generally appeared free of any glitches, the site said.
Apple representatives did not immediately respond to requests to comment for this story.
But in a statement recounted in several published reports on Feb. 10, the company said it was investigating the issue and referred customers who were experiencing problems to its technical support organization.
Although the cause of the problem is unclear at the moment, some owners suggested it could be solved in software. Accounts published by MacFixIt.com said some owners were able to solve the problem by reloading their machines with a different build of Mac OS X 10.4.4.

As the first Apple computer to use an Intel chip, the new iMac has received a lot of attention from Apples constituents as well as industry watchers. The computer maker rolled out the new machine nearly a month ago.
Apples two Intel-based iMac models retain the same design, features and prices as earlier iMacs. However, under the hood, they include Intels dual-core Core Duo processor.

Apple is also using the Core Duo chip in its MacBook Pro, a replacement for its PowerBook portable. The MacBook Pro is due to ship this month, Apple has said.
Apple, which had been developing a special x86 version of its Mac OS X in parallel with its more well-known Mac OS X for PowerPC chips, surprised many by announcing a plan to switch to Intel chips from PowerPC last June.

If you’re trying to type the letter “i” to a friend on your iPhone and instead get the letter “a” and some weird symbol, don’t worry. You are not alone.
Along with the addition of a few new emojis, the latest iPhone iOS update — iOS 11.1 — brought along a major glitch that has some users struggling to type coherent sentences. The glitch has impacted a number of iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices with the updated software — and has not yet been resolved by Apple.
However, the company is suggesting a quick fix: changing the settings for the letter “i” in your keyboard settings.
Here’s how to do it:
- Go into your Settings
- Click “General”
- Click “Keyboard”
- Click “Text Replacement”
- Click “+” to add a new one
- Type an upper-case “I” under “Phrase” and type a lower-case “i” under “Shortcut.”
That fix should solve the glitch for now. It is unclear when the glitch will be resolved by Apple, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TIME.
