HT1752 I have an imac intel 24" EMC 2111.

I have an old iMac intel 24" EMC 2111.Its a core 2 duo -2.16 Ghz. It will not boot, showing a file with a question mark flashing on the screen. A recovery disc was used and when running a system check, the following error message : 4SNS/ 1/ 40000000 THOP. Is this something serious, like the mother board? I dont have the original install discs so I cant try to reinstall the OS of that time. Also, could this model be used as a monitor for a laptop if no longer useable as a PC? I already have updated Macs, but like vintage models. Thanks. joeza

Yes it's something serious, you shoudl take it into an Apple Store or an AASP for professional diagnoses. Apple does not publish the error codes so we have no way of telling for sure what your error message means, only a tech would be able to help.
You could not use the model as a monitor with a PC, this feature is called Target Display Mode and was available with 2009 & 2010 27" iMacs using the mini display port on a PC. It is also available on 2011-2012 models using Thunderbolt ports to another machine with Thunderbold output, however connecting to PC's usually does not work.
IMHO it's time to hing about replacing the machine with a newer model.
Good luck.

  • No sound on iMac Intel 24'' EMC 2267 after hard drive replacement

    I replaced my hard drive on my iMac Intel 24'' EMC 2267, due to numerous bad blocks, by following all the instructions on iFixit.com. I did not experience any problems.
    I then installed all my files from a Time Machine backup. There were no problems with the restoration of my files. It seems that my new hard drive works beautifully.
    However, one serious problem I have is that now there is no sound on my iMac. There is no startup chime, and there are no other sounds. When clicking on Sound in System preferences, it says that there are "no output devices found".
    When opening system profiler, in the Audio (built-in) tab it says "Audio ID: 0"
    I re-opeend my iMac to make sure that all cables were connected properly, and I did not manage to spot any problems.
    I tried to reset PRAM and EMC but these did not solve the problem. I am working under MacOS X 10.6.8
    Can someone help please? Any information provided will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance for your support.
    Regards - Gina

    I think when you replaced your hard drive you bumped into the daughter board and that is for the sound and the wireless, You need to get another daughterboard or contact the Apple Store if your Mac is stilll under warranty.

  • I have an iMac(Intel) Desktop computer.  I cannot print anything as it is telling me that it is "offline" How do I start it working again?  My Lexmark Printer is in working order as I have just photocopied a document successfully.

    I have an iMac (Intel) Desktop computer.   It will not send a message to my Lexmark printer because it says  "offline".   My Lexmark printer is in working order as I have just successfully photocopied a document on it. 

    That message means that the computer cannot see the printer on its network.
    Is the printer directly connected to the computer with a USB cable, or is it a network printer (either wireless, or wired to the router with an Ethernet cable)?

  • I have an iMac Intel  2 Duo with Mac 0SX Snow Leopard downloaded.  Can I upgrade to the new mountain lion

    I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed.  Would it be ok to download the new Mountain Lion?

    Your iMac needs to be a mid-2007 or newer model. See this page for specs supported, and assuming you meet them, you can upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (see step 2 on the linked page).

  • I have an IMac intel  OS x 10.8.2, I would like to know what is the best program to use to make movies and burn them to a DVD???

    What is the best program to use that will be compatable with a IMac intel OS x 10.8.2, that will allow me to make movies, add music then burn it to a DVD.  The program I have now, will make the movie but will not burn it???

    You want iDVD.
    Purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.

  • I bought MACkeeper and used it to cleanup my computer. I have a Imac intel, When I didi this it deleted all my files. I tried to do a time machince. and it didn't work. so I pulled the files out of trash and my computer still isn't runing right.

    I bought MacKeeper to help make my Imac intel faster. Insted it deleted all my files.
    I tried to recover using time Machine, and it didn't recover back to yesterday. So I started to pull
    the files and Applications out of trash. This just got me lipping along. It ran slower and would get
    the spining wheel of death. I finaly gave in and thought I would reinstall Lion and everything would be
    great. Well wrong, I seem to be starting fine, but all my files are gone. When I go in to time Machine
    I see a device drive name (xxx). I go in that device and all my files are there. how do I pull them to the new
    install of Lion? So I can be happy again. Thank you for all your time and help.

    Do not install MacKeeper:

  • I have 17inch imac intel 2006  can i use G5 screen number A1058 mine is A1173??

     

    I do not think so.
    While they may use the same basic 17" panel, the epoxied on mounting frames, inverters and connections are different.
    Also note: that the G5 dissembles from the back and that the Intel dissembles from the front.

  • I have an iMAC Intel Base. Since I updated to OSX Mavericks I can't record myself on iMovie.

    I have a MAC Intel Base.
    Since I updated my comp to the OSX Mavericks I can't record myself on iMovie.
    Before the update this would never happen. I would simply click on my little VideoCamera record button
    and presto it would work.
    Now all of a sudden I click on my little video camera record button & all I get is an error message
    "No Camera Connected / To import video, please connect a camera"
    Last time I checked my MAC is equipped with its own camera so I don’t understand why its not picking up on its own camera.
    I've also already tried recording myself on QuickTime Player..... BUT I can't even upload or transfer my QuickTime Player to
    import into my iMovie. This is so frustrating and I have no idea what to do or why it even started doing this.
    To top this all off, coincidentally everything started going to **** when I updated to the OSX Mavericks.
    Please help.
    <Edited by Host>

    I see the same dialog and definitely can't locate the app on the App Store.

  • I have an imac (intel) running 10.8.5.

    after upgrading to 10.8.5, a few months ago, I've noticed that after the imac goes into sleepmode (screen saver), the network connection is slow to reconnect or restablish to the internet. most times I have to close safari or firefox and restart the browser. sometimes it responds properly with my home page and sometimes I get the grayed out no connectivity message and asks to run network diags. eventuall the home page appears after several minutes. I also notied that on my verizon dsl modem the imac connectivity link led is not lit. after I awaken the imac by hitting the space bar, the led reappears on the dsl modem. but connectivity is still slow to restablish the connection.
    I never had this problem until the upgrade to 10.8.5. I also have a windows based pc on the same dsl model (both are hardwired) and it does not have this issue. any ideas as to what may be happening? it seems like the dhcp address may be dropping and not restablishing properly. I have had this dsl service for more than 10 years and it's been solid.  Thanks to anyone with any comments or suggestions.

    Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
    3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
    7. Reinstall OS X.

  • I have 2007 iMac intel, 10.4.1 with a crashed WD 2500JS boot drive. Bought a WD 3200E(AAX) which claims it is for Mac OS but documentation is unclear on WD site and plugs are different. It's SATA 7200, no instr. for boot inst.What is ideal replace?

    After boot drive crash, I need to replace hard drive on 2007 Intel iMac running 10.4.1 (updating to Snow Leopard with Time Machine after replacement). There is a question not answered in lit. and docs about suitability of WD3200AAKS as replacement for WD2500JS for boot drive. The amps on the 5 and 12 VDC pins are very slightly different. Any body with a comment will help to minimize a problem with very bad timing! (When is a hd crash well-timed?!)

    Thanks Kappy, the plugs are OK, just inset a little, so it looked different at first: My concern is the slightly different amperage of the 5 and 12 VDC pins, a very minor diff. not likely a problem. BTW, the little four wire cable with the tiny circuit that sticks to the side of the drive is a heat sensor that triggers the fan if it gets hot.

  • I have a imac intel core duo 2.0 ghz, 20" That will not start up...HELP

    My iMac will not startup, I have tried everything, reset PRAM, attempt to boot into SAFE mode, I am unable to do so. I am currently booted up hard drive to mount.

    Im having same problem and I have exhausted my knowledge of how to fix.
    I can see the device is system profiler. Nothing comes up in Audio/Midi Set up though.
    Garageband doesnt detect anything until I activate a network session then garageband says there is a midi input but I still get no sound whatsoever.
