Screen on iMac streaked and jumping and impossible to read
Is this a hardware issue or is there a programming fix? Everything I'm reading relates to a MacBook, not an iMac.

Thanks - got it!
Unfortunately, yes, this is a hardware issue.
If your Mac model is on this list, Obtaining service for your Apple product after an expired warranty - Apple Support, it most likely cannot be repaired, unfortunately. It would be best to look for a new Mac: Mac - Apple.
If it is not on the vintage and obsolete list, you can contact Apple here: Get Support.

Hello!
Could you upload a photo of what you're seeing?
Does Safe Mode help:

This is my husband's iMac. We tried Safe Mode but that made no difference. I will try to attach a video clip.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, you cannot upload a video, but a photo will work just fine.

I'm attaching a photo, but it really doesn't show that the bottom two thirds of the screen is flashing and jumping - which the photo freezes. The three options at the bottom of the screen, Sleep, Restart and Shut Down, hop up and down. Thanks for trying to solve this question.

I don't see a photo attached, unfortunately.
I'm trying again - I'm probably doing it wrong.
This is my husband's iMac. We tried Safe Mode but that made no difference. I will try to attach a video clip.
I really appreciate your help and patience. We will follow up with the Apple Support people and see what they suggest.
