    Impossible, there are zero, as in none, zip, nadda viruses for OS X. If you have viruses on it they are for MS Windows and will not affect OS X. I suspect the hard disk has crashed, if you have backup then it's not a big deal to have it changed, just take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for service. If you have not been backing it up you may be in for a painful lesson on why backup is critical.

  • Internet won't connect on imac but works on other devices

    new-ish 20inch imac won't connect to any wireless networks (our own and the coffee shop next door)  but other devices (iphones, macbooks) will.....this imac is used as a register in my retail store and without internet we are unable to process credit card transactions..we are losing business. HELP!!! thank you!!!

    HI,
    In most cases this is about the Internet Speed or the portion of it your computer gets that iChat can see at the moment it tests the speed during it's launch process.
    That is to say that as you start up ichat it tests the speed it can see.
    this can be effected by other computer doing a download and "taking" more of the Bandwidth or rather leaving a smaller amount for your Mac.
    The same is true if your computer is already doing a download or using the Internet heavily.
    Of course at that moment your ISP could also have cut the speed you get.
    If you launch iChat and go to the Video Menu > Connection Doctor what does the Capabilities tab say ?
    This may have red crosses against some items.
    Also check iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit
    This should not be set at 100kbps fro Video chats.
    Have you tried restarting the computer ?

  • External won't connect to iMac

    I have an external hard drive I use on a 13" MBP CORE 2 DUO the model before the i5. Anyway the external shows up fine, however when I hook it it up to my brothers iMac running leopard the drive won't show up.(LIKE MY USER NAME SAYS, NEW TO THE MACS)

    Unmount and disconnect that drive, then connect yours to the same port using the same cable. Any change?

  • IPhone 6 won't connect to iMac properly

    My almost new iPhone 6 won't properly connect with my week old iMac. When I first got the iMac and plugged the phone in, it synced up fine. Now whenever I plug it in, it connects for roughly a second, then disconnects, then connects again, and then disconnects – continuously. I've tried a few cables from my household and had the same issue with all of them. What can I do to fix this issue? Thanks.

    most likely issue can be, or that your phone connector, where the cable goes into has a bad contact, but most of the time it is debris in the device, i had this issue aswell bought a new toothbrush and used it to clean the port, now it is working like a charm, most of the time it is debris in the lightning port of your iphone. if that still does not resolve your issue you should contact apple care, also try it on a different computer if it has the same issue.
    but my guess it is debris

  • Keyboard and mouse won't connect to iMac

    This morning, I suddenly lost connection between my 27' iMac and the wireless magic mouse. I had just scavenged a pair of batteries from a remote control the other day and while I wasn't notified of low batteries this morning, I assumed those new batteries must be dead. So I replaced them with shiny new ones and.....nothing. Using keyboard navigation, I tried to re-connect but nothing would work. My next step was a restart. This is where the computer lost the keyboard. So, again, I replaced the batteries in the keyboard and went through the initial bluetooth setup assistant procedure when trying to restart without a keyboard. It would find the keyboard, connect to it and then immediately loose it. I never got enough time to enter the password confirmation the setup procedure gives you. I found an old wired keyboard and mouse and got logged in and I've been playing around with the bluetooth setup assistant with no luck. Both the mouse and keyboard go into "discoverable" mode when turned on (blinking green light) and the assistant sees them but will not connect. For the keyboard I get the message "the pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported." I'm running 10.6.7, update as prompted and haven't done anything out of the ordinary on this machine recently.
    Any ideas?

    Paul,
    I don't think you did anything wrong.  I think it was just "one of those things".  Things should be OK now.
    Give a shout if they aren't.

  • My keyboard won't connect to imac

    I have a 2011 imac that has worked fine for several months but I recently installed some bad ram that caused my computer to do some crazy things.  It stopped recognizing the wireless keyboard that came with it and has been used with it for 6 months.  I have turned on the discoverable and the bluetooth, and the mouse still works fine.  Sometimes it sees the keyboard and it just won't pair with it, and sometimes it won't see it at all.  I don't know if there is a way to reset the keyboard or something.  just kinda stuck on what to do with the situation.  Any ideas?
    I was running 10.7.5 when the  issue started, but have updated to 10.8.2 now in hopes that that might help but it hasn't changed anything.

    Select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth. Select the device in the list on the left, then from the action menu (gear icon) below the list, select Update Services. If there's no improvement, delete the pairing from the list and recreate it.

  • Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S570 won't connect to iMac

    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying to connect my new sony blu-ray player to my iMac wirelessly. My iMac is set up as an airport base station, and I have no problems connecting my iPhone to it to use the internet.
    Internet sharing is turned on, and i'm using a 40-bit WEP password. Every time I try to connect my blu-ray player, it connects to the network, but cannot connect to the internet. Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas? I'm pretty frustrated.
    Thanks!

    Hi there I'm having a similar problem with the s570 - it finds the livebox network ok but I enter the WPA password
    The AirPort Extreme can use the following WPA security settings:
    WPA2 Personal
    WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Which of these are you trying to use?
    Is there something in the instruction sheet or setup page of the Blu-Ray player that specifies exactly what type of security settings are compatible with the device?

  • New Squier USB Guitar won't connect to iMac or 13" Macbook

    Been struggling for the last couple days to get this thing to connect with the included cables to both 27" iMac & 13" Macbook. All GB software up to date and new firmware updates on guitar but no luck so far. iPad 2 & iPhone 4S will connect but they have issues as well and I have to restart GB. Anyone else having issues or know of a work around? 
    Thanks

    It seems that most problems/questions regarding 'GarageBand not working with MIDI hardware xyz or USB hardware xyz' is NOT related to GarageBand at all.
    The most important thing to understand when using an external device is that GarageBand can only communicate with it if OSX, your system recognizes it properly. Whenever an external device "is not working in GarageBand", you have to check you system FIRST. Check the System Preferences and Audio MIDI Setup utility before troubleshooting GarageBand.
    If the USB guitar doesn't show up in the System Preferences as an audio device then you might have a software issue (corrupted, outdated driver) or a hardware issue (faulty cable or USB port). These things are easy to narrow down if you have a second computer, different cable, etc
    Hope that helps

  • Trackpad won't connect with iMac

    I have not been able to get a Magic Trackpad to connect to a new iMac 27".  The Trackpad works fine with an older iMac.  Any suggestions?

    Unpair it from your older iMac first and then pair it with your new iMac.

  • Won't connect to ipad via Bluetooth

    why won't my iPhone connect to my iPad via Bluetoot?

    Well, I should have asked Pagancelt not sleeky as he said above he says he DID it.

    Re: iPad won't connect to iMac via bluetooth 
    Apr 29, 2012 3:35 PM (in response to mccass)
    I was successful in connecting my iPad and 27" iMac via bluetooth for the purpose of internet sharing, so it can be done. I was able to use my iMac's free wifi connection (which the iPad couldn't pick up, as I don't want to stand by the window) to get internet on the iPad. I forget how, unfortunately, which is why I'm back in the forums - my connection went down!
    *Edit: Foolish me. My iMac shows up under "Devices" on the iPad Bluetooth pane in General Settings. All I had to do was tap it to revive the connection (since I paired the devices the first time I set up the connection). iPad is now getting internet off iMac again :-)

  • Firefox was working on my new iMac but then, after switching on recently, won't connect to the web – whereas Safari has no problem.

    ===
    Hi
    I bought an iMac a week ago and installed Firefox via Safari. It worked fine for a while but, after a recently switching on, it won't connect to the web whereas Safari has no problems.
    I've tried following the Firefox Help, looking into the iMac firewall, but still no luck.
    I've no idea whether related or not but yesterday I had a system glitch where the iMac stated no wi-fi was installed and only connected via a physical lead to my house router. Also, there was no sound output via Safari. However, after booting up today all seems well – apart from Firefox still not working. It loads the start page but can't access the web.
    I have Little Snitch running, and wonder if that's the culprit... but it's working fine with Safari, seemingly.
    (Finally, how do I stop a dialogue box appearing on start-up saying that "To open “X” you need a Java runtime. Would you like to install one now?)
    Any ideas anyone?
    Cheers

    On the wireless networks that your Mac has had trouble connecting to, do you know which Wireless Security type (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) is being used?
    If it is WEP, one of the problems is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.   In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.   You may find the following Apple Support article helpful.

  • My iMac won't connect to my network

    My iMac won't connect to the internet anymore. I can only get internet connection through someone elses network.
    It connected okay to my network when I first plugged it in. Everything was coming up roses and such. I'm thinking though it might have something to do with my pc. I gave my mom my pc and cleaned off everything. After re-installing the drivers, programs, and re-installing the wireless info on the pc, my mac won't connect to the network
    There is a password for connecting to the network a wep 128. But my mac keeps telling me the password is wrong. And the only way to connect to the interent for me is via the Dlink connection.
    We have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT54G)
    My mom has windows XP with wireless capability
    My mac has the airport extreme already in the computer
    I'm sure the problem is something really simple and minor and that I will kick myself for not figuring it out. :S
    But any help would be great
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The only other connection I get is through a unsecured dlink.
    I tried using network assistant to get on the linksys network but when I put in the password for it I keep getting a message that says invalid.
