2011 iMac not starting, then starting, and then not starting again?
Hi,
I've asked this question at another forum, but I haven't gotten any feedback, so I thought I'd try here.
I have a 2011 iMac which I'm not really happy with at all, to be honest.
The most severe problem is that it refuses to turn on sometimes. It has actually only happened two times so far, with a few weeks in between.
I talked to Apple for over two hours yesterday. After a lot of troubleshooting, PRAM resets, (obviously error-free) diagnostics, etc, they still had absolutely no clue what the problem could be.
The first time it happened, the iMac had been disconnected from the power outlet for a week. Imagine trying to power on an iMac with the power chord unplugged. That's how it was.
After a lot of fiddling around, inserting and reinserting the power cable, and pressing the power button 40-50 times, it finally booted up. I then turned it off again, and it wouldn't power on once again. Then, it suddenly started working as normal, turning on every time.
I happened again yesterday. The exact same issue, despite the fact that it has been plugged into the power all the time. After my long support call with Apple, it was working as usual again, powering on as normal every time. There was this one time when I held in the power button for like 5 seconds, until I heard the fans running. I then released the button, and the fans stopped. Then it powered on when I tried again.
Rebooting always works, going to sleep and waking up always works, and it never powers off by itself once it's on. Trying a different power outlet makes no difference.
I really just want another iMac, or my money back, but I understand that this is the absolute last thing Apple will do.
All I kept hearing from the support reps were "call a service place". But what good is that going to do?
What if it dies again and I really can't get it to work no matter how many times I press the button? It seems to be ALL about pressing the button btw, doing anything else has any impact whatsoever.
If a technician tries to start it, it may start on the first attempt. Or the third. Or the twentieth. I have no idea, since there's no pattern, and nothing to go by.
The only real clue is that it's imposible to NOT get it to start after it's been running for around 15 minutes.
So, what should I do? Should I try to get it fixed/replaced/sold? Should I reinstall Lion (the guys at Apple actually told me to try that)? Should I just accept it and never shut it off (only sleeping/waking and rebooting)?
I would love to hear your thoughts.
Sorry, I forgot to mention - I was instructed to do that. Don't know if it helped or not, only time will tell.
I'm 100% certain that the problem will occur again. It could be in a few weeks, or months, or even years.

I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!
You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems. -
Hi, first time posting on the forum. I own a 2011 IMAC i5 with 12gb of ram 27 inch. Over the last five days the computer has been crashing and running very erratically. When the computer has crashed the entire computer has become unresponsive and frozen, requiring a reboot or two. At other times the computer has slowed way down and the dreaded spinning beachball has appeared and the computer takes its sweet time trying to process something. Iphoto has also crashed independently when the beahball will not disappear. THE entire system is running way below its usual stellar quad performance. I have run a ram test and everything has come back clean, I have fixed any broken permissions, and deleted any newly added software (starcraft2). There is over 250Gb of hard drive free and the activity monitor shows no unusual processes. The computer automatically updated it self recently to 10.8.1 has this caused a conflict with some software? Or is there a deeper problem?
Below are the console reports. There are also reports for unversalaccessd , mdworker, Isregister, loginwindow, iphoto, DMproxy which can be supplied.
Thanks for any help.

21.5 mid-2011 iMac screen keeps glitching out and then eventually goes black.
At the end of August 2011 I purchased a 21.5-inch iMac and just last week (8 or so months later) the screen started to glitch everywhere and then eventually turned black. It has been happening quite regularly and has become quite an issue. Before then it had been running perfectly, and we had had no problems at all. However when the screen goes black (as if it was asleep) you could still hear things playing in the background (such as the noise that the volume key makes when you press it on the keyboard). We have eliminated all possible interference problems (turned off: wifi, phone's, TV, lamps and even the fish pump) and have also had it tested by license technicians for software and hardware issues (which came back clean). So then they replaced the screen thinking that was the only other possibility, and when we brought it back home it started to do it again. I have no idea anymore and I was hoping that someone could tell me what might be going on, otherwise I will get it replaced under extend Apple Care warranty.
Thank you and the main specs are below:
2.7Ghz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor
4GB Ram
1TB hard drive
AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR5 memoryHeloo,
Don' turn off the Fish Pump!

New 27" 2011 iMac is making humming voice and vibrates slightly when touched, normal?
As the label says.
I got my new iMac last week, everything was fine until yesterday when machine started causing slight humming voice and it vibrates slightly when touched. Vibrance can be felt on the desk aswell, which I find pretty uncomfortable.
So, is this normal? Or should I go and change the machine.
Thank you.Take it back to the store immediately. You are still within the 14 day period wherein you can have it replaced or repaired at your option. After 14 days that becomes Apple's option.

My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on 2011 iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software? I cant figure whats causing the jerky video so I'm assuming its the new OS. Any one have any suggestions?
I have the same but not the same problem. When I play a sound or a video on a website (other than youtube)on safari, a weird nois is comeing from the speakers, the sound has pops/clicks but if I play the same video/sound on mozilla it works fine.. If wnyone know what's the problem.. please let us know

Unable to install Yosemite on mid 2011 iMac 27"
OK, so I have tried to install Yosemite on this mid 2011 iMac for two days now and I get the exact same error message every time:
An error occured when extracting files from the archive AdditionalSpeechVoices.pkg. Abort the installation and reboot.
I have formatted the harddrive, reinstalled the original OS using the Restore via Internet option (the Mac works perfectly with Mac OS X 10.7.X) and then I try to upgrade to Yosemite via App Store and the error is back.
Any ideas regarding what might cause this problem?
TIAIf you find you'll need to replace a faulty module(s) I recommend you do so from Crucial.com which has an excellent reputation for providing top quality and compatible memory modules for Macs. They are guaranteed to work and are warranted. Otherworldcomputing.com is another recognized, reliable source for Mac memory.

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?
Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

I took the time to research it and come across a couple of people who experienced the same trouble and so I listed some of there steps(with Credits) and some people said that they worked.
Here is the original Link:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2151777?start=0&tstart=0
OK, this worked for me:( Original Post by r0tt3n4pp13)
1. Save iTunes install file to your desktop.

4. Run install. Note that it installs Application Support and a bunch of other software this time.
5. Run iTunes.
6. Enable Firewall/Security software.
7. Reconnect to internet.
8. Download Watchmen Director's Cut post haste.
OR!
(Original post by Cr4z33)
1. Download and install WinRAR.

have a mac book pro that crashed. ran disk utility to repair. comp booted and ran for short time. then crashed. ran repair again. disk utility said it could not repair disk and needed to format and start again.
comp said it could not unmount disk and now when comp trys to boot all i get is a question mark on the screen. helpErase and Install
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU after formatting completes and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
5. After restart into Snow Leopard download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. -

Be sure to start your iMac using its original grey System Install DVD: Insert that disc and start your Mac while holding the d key. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen select Disk Utility and format the hard disk. Select "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)".
Then, install OS X. -
My 2007 iMac (lion) starts, logo appears, status bar shows up, takes 2 mins to finish, then shuts off. Please help!
This sounds like a hard drive issue. First I would try to boot to safe mode: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
If that works do a backup ASAP with Time Machine: Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support or copy your important files to an external drive if they are not already backed up. If that does not work, Boot to recovery: OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
The next step would be verifying and if needed repairing the hard drive using Disk Utility.
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck - Apple Support
If it successfully repairs, do a restart and see if it boots as normal. If it cannot be repaired, it means that the hard drive has failed/is failing. If you do not have the data backed up you could try getting the data using target disk mode: OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode ,booting from an external drive that has OS X installed on it: OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support, or 3rd party data recovery service.

If it fails to erase, then the hard drive needs to be replaced.
