IMac / 10.7.5 serious boot issue with OSX (neither with Bootcamp nor with Recovery)

Hey guys,
I'm a bit feeling low. I was working on my iMac and wanted to restart my device. But since then nothing's the same. It gets stuck on grey screen with spinning circle.
Here is what I tried so far:
1. Tested to boot into Bootcamp (Win7) - it works! I'm copying some files at the moment. Will check later if they're okay
2. Booted into Recovery, used DiskUtil.. No problems were found
3. Tried safe boot (with shift) and advanced safe boot (shift + cmd + v) - did not work
I'm not able to boot my OSX (and I've got no backup at the moment). Are there other hints to try to boot or to get information about what fails?
And is there a way to make a backup (maybe clone) or somekind of Time Machine without accessing OSX? I never used it before. I'm waiting for my NAS to do this - that seems to be the payback -.-
If it's helpful I've got a Macbook Air here to on which I'm writing right now.
Maybe you've got an idea!
Thanks

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Serious boot issues with Powerbook G3 (Wallstreet II, OS 9.2.2)

Hello,
I have major issues with a Powerbook Wallstreet II I got recently. When it's finally running, it works just as well as Wallstreet Powerbooks usually do, no errors, no crashing, smooth performance, everything fine.
But booting it up is, to put it mildy, a bloody pain. First off, it does not power up, when it's only connected to batteries. I have two of them, both working fine for several hours when put in after bootup, but no matter if I place one or both of them in any bays, nothing happens when pressing or holding the power button (apart from screen flickering and speaker crackling). I'm always forced to connect the power adapter, which immediatly (without pressing the power button) causes the power LED to light and the cooling fan insanely spins up for a mere couple of split seconds until everything wents silent again.
Having reached this point, I can disconnect the power supply (if at least one battery is in) and usually hear a nice "BONG" when pressing the power button once again. Thereafter, nothing happens for a oppressive 30 seconds, then, the screen finally lits and shows the Mac OS 9.2.x splash screen on monochrome background. Sadly, this is already the end of most of my first boot up tries, because at this point, I usually get told by a dialogbox that a bus error has just happened. The box also has a nice "Reboot" button, which I cannot click as the trackpad hangs as well.
Pressing ShiftFn+CrtlPower works here in about one out of three time, so in most cases, I have to go through the same procedure. Pull out power sources, give a shot via PSU, have it iddling for 30 secs. In most cases, this second try lets me pass splash screen, loader, yes, it even lets me see the desktop, the taskbar, the HDD icon and... pouf. Success is so close but no, it has to suddenly drop into sleep mode and
a short press on power proves the apprehension true, that it won't be easy to wake it up again. Hrmph. But I don't give that easily. So pulling everthing out for the second time, connect PSU for the third time and look there, it fully boots.
Three tries to successfully boot is about average at first try series. Afterwards, it seems to be "warmed up" and things get easier. I made a log recently with 5 test series, made at very frequent intervals:
Series 1:
1. Bootup: Bus Failure (Hard reboot fails) (bays empty)
2. Bootup: Sleep Mode (bays empty)
3. Bootup: Sleep Mode (bays empty)
4. Bootup: Sleep Mode (both batteries)
5. Bootup: Bus Failure (Hard reboot successful)(both batteries)
6. Bootup: Success (left battery, right bay empty)
Series 2:
1. Bootup: Success(left battery, right bay empty)
Series 3:
1. Bootup: Bus Failure (!!!) (left battery, right bay empty)
2. Bootup: Success (bays empty)
Series 4:
1. Bootup Success (left bay empty, right battery)
Series 5:
1. Bootup Success (both batteries)
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

jpl,
Thank you for continuative support.
If you plan on buying a 256MB memory module, the Wallstreet requires
a 256 specifically made for it (and the early iMac
and Lombard). Modules 128MB and smaller can be
generic if they meet the Wallstreet's specs.
Thanks for this information.
You might find it useful to disassemble the 'book to the PMU, carefully remove/reseat the PMU card, then test.
Well, to be honest, I don't have the time to perform this very labour-intensive work. However, I pulled out the large PMU connector (the one that can be reached by lifting the keyboard) and reseated it, without any results. Shouldn't that suffice? Or is there another connection that could need maintenance?
Regarding sleep: There is no display position sensor, only a simple magnet in the right display bezel approximately 4" from the bottom...you can stick a paperclip to it. When the display closes, it triggers a sleep switch located next to the delete key in the side rail.
Ah, okay.
According to Apple, if the powerbook will not run on battery, it could be the charge card or PMU board or power supply card or logic board. However, your 'book apparently runs on battery once started via power adapter.
Actually, it does not allow me to power up, if I attach the adapter right after an unsuccessful try to operate from battery. Even if I remove the batteries (after adapter connection).
It's like it is "crashed" before it's even running. Which means, I have to pull all power sources to be able to perform the resuscitating power up via adaptor.
A normal power manager reset on the Wallstreet is this:
1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Simultaneously press Shift-Fn (function)-Ctrl >(control)-Power.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the Power button to restart the PowerBook >computer.
A successful reset will briefly flash the sleep light plus >spin up the fan for a second. If a reset does not solve the >startup and sleep issues, then you will have to look >elsewhere.
I can see the sleep LED and I do hear the fan, however, this didn't help in most cases. After perfoming this action (in a freeze situation), I usually only got rattling noises out of the speakers or screen flashes when trying to power up.
Be sure the powerbook only freezes when closing the display to sleep it.
Well, I noticed it sometimes also freezes when left idle directly after start up (and power save is activated). Later, it comes right back again.
- Is the sleep light blinking before you open the display?
Yes.
- When the display is opened, does the sleep light continue to blink? (It should.)
Yes.
- When you press the power button, do you hear a 'buzz' or some similar noise? If you do, you may have another issue to explore.
No. I usually only hear speaker noise when trying to power up from battery. But oddly enough, the lenght of the sleep light blinks changes when power button is hold down in "frozen sleep".
I would also go to the System Folder > Preferences folder and drag the Energy Saver Preferences to the Trash, close all windows, then restart...a new preference file will be created on restart. You can reset the Energy Saver to your like, then test sleep.
Done.
-Does sleep/wake always work when NOT closing the display? Try this after resetting the power manager and trashing the pref file mentioned below.
If I initiate sleep, yes. If it suspends automatically, well, usually. But not always (see above).

SERIOUS lag issues with Intel iMac

Hello everyone,
I'm pretty frustrated right now. I've been having this serious lag issue with my new iMac for the past few days. I think it may have started after I ran the last security update.
What happens:
When switching between apps, the system will hang for 1-3 seconds between doing anything. This includes typing, mouse requests, etc. It's VERY frustrating. I have activity monitor open currently, and I am seeing both Safari and SystemUIServer hogging up the CPU resources like CRAZY. I've even seen Safari recently give a CPU usage of 120%, right before I loaded this webpage. tis isn't just centralized to Safari too.... I have the following apps running:
Adium 0.89.1
FoireFox 1.5.0.8
Safari
Activity Monitor
My Memory stats currently are:
175MB Wired
708MB Active
618MB Inactive
1.47GB Used
There should be no reason I'm getting these lags with just two web browsers and a chat client open.
Has anyone else expierenced the lags?? Any suggestions? I'm almost ready to reinstall OS X and not run the last security update. Thanks

Hello Matthew
Are you running any maintenance scripts on a regular basis?
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
I would manually run this script from The X Lab, and my load times would improve greatly. The problem was, I would forget to run them untill I noticed web pages loading slow or iTunes and iPhoto taking for ever. It wasn't untill someone here in discussions suggested Anacron that I saw the light. WOW what a difference Anacron has been making in my overall system speed. My iMac has not been shutdown for 11days 5hrs 34mins (sleep or use only) and opening new App's, switching App's and web pages load as fast or faster than after a fresh start up. If your system is operating properly and you are having only what seems to be a slow or sluggish issue Anacron will make a difference.

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?

Serious Power Issues with T61

All,
The organization I work for has started to have some serious power issues with our T61 model Thinkpads. Additionally, the problem now seem to be carrying over into our T500 Thinkpads.
About 4 months ago we started receiving consistant calls regarding users that can't power their laptops on. These are T61 and T500 laptops mounted to mobile carts in our various nursing units in numerous hospitals. These laptops sit stationary for 95% of the time and are almost always plugged into wall power. We quickly discovered that the only way to get the laptops to power on was to unplug them from all power sources and reseat the battery, after which they powered right on. We've had this problem in the past with users T61s that aren't on carts, but this is slightly different as the batteries on the cart mounted laptops are always 100% drained after we reseat them.
I'm completely baffled by this issue. I've tried every variation of 3 different carts, -- one with external battery on cart, two without -- both 90 and 65 watt power supplies, and standard and 9 cell batteries that I can come up with and the problem continues to occur. Initially we had atributed the problem to ESD because this started during the low humidity months of winter, but it is now spring and the problem is still happening.
Under normal circumstances I'd just replace the few ailing laptops and call them in under warranty, but this seems to be a general model issue as this is occuring across the board on 100+ laptops at this hospital alone. Any assistance to help identify the issue and/or how to resolve it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Slider5634,
Do you have a critical situation open for this? If so, while you are free to post here, working through the project office as a managed account should get you to the right level of support to address an issue that sounds pervasive, and may or may not be influenced by unknown environmental factors.
If you don't have a situation open, then I would urdge you to contact your account rep. If you need help, or unsure of this, please send me a PM with your contact information, and your hospital or corp account name so I can get you the right level of assistance.
jgm1234,
What model type T61's are you experiencing this issue with? Can you provide some more information here about the situation? Configuration, when this first started occuring, environment (connected to lan, wired / wireless, stand alone, all in same physical location, or distributed at multiple locations, etc)
Thanks!

Serious locking issues with Main Stage 3

Having serious locking issues with main stage 3. I just did a music gig over the weekend with main stage 3, and the application locked up 8 times during my performance. There were also several times where there was a delay between the time I struck a key on the midi controller and the time sound actually came out of the audio interface. Has anyone else ran into this problem??

Anyone know how to fix this, if even possible?

Just read some reviews. There seems to be a lot of problems with the latest main stage update. I didn't notice these latency problems until did the latest update..
Apple please fix this quickly!!!

T410 won't boot up with Recovery Media CD

Hi all,
Long story short, dropped lappy, took it to Geek Squad at best buys, determined they could not see all 3 partition, only one partition. So they said buy new hard drive and take old drive elsehwhere to recover data.
Bought new hard drive, tried to boot up with Recovery/Boot Media but the system is saying "worng disk, please put in correct one" I only have 1 Recovery Media Disk that I made last year. Am i missing something?
If i can't use the Media Disk how should i proceed so i can get the lappy working again? Do i have to purchase MS office 2007 and start from there?
Thanks!

Sounds like you may have created a Windows repair disk, not a Lenovo recovery disk set?
Edit: You can get a T430 recovery disk set from Lenovo - about $45.00

PXE Boot issues with Latitude E5450.

Our SCCM 2012 is SP1 and it does not support Windows 8.1.
I had tried to capture the OS through network but there were issues connecting and smsts.log indicated share not reachable. Hence, I captured the OS in the D:\ of the machine.
Now after creating TS and deploying the OSD machine boots to PXE and starts to download boot image files and instantly restarts to Windows. I have performed below steps..
1. Got the network drivers and updated the boot image with the same
2. Checked the BIOS settings and time is updated correctly
3. Used an old boot image that was used to capture another model laptop with Windows 8.1 and still same issue.

Any advise would be helpful..

Our issue with the Latitude E5450 ended up being due to a boot image that wasn't being properly updated and/or pointed to during the task sequence set up. There also seemed to be some strangeness with the replication because the WIM file listed on
the server file system was showing as, for example, boot.XXXX.XXXX.wim (double name). As a result, when we would update the boot image with the correct NIC driver, the system was still pointing to, for example, boot.XXXX.wim.
We ended up re-creating the boot image from scratch using our base boot.wim image and using the 19.2.0.0/12.12.50.4 driver version for the I218-LM NIC, found at the download link below. If you recreate the boot image, don't forget to re-add all of the
NIC drivers, redistribute the boot image, and change which boot image your Task Sequence will be pointing to.

Weird gray screen/freeze boot issue with 2008 Macbook Pro

Early 2008 MBP. Gray boot screen with apple logo and spinning gear freezes. Now for the odd part. In the background I can hear iChat log in, and I can see the associated account as available via Bonjour so I know that behidn the scenes, the laptop is indeed logging in and launching the desktop. I also managed to remote in and can see the desktop normally. The screen remains frozen.
I was able to initially get it working by resetting PRAM and NVRAM but that is no longer working either. Also tried an SMC reset.
Can't boot from CD or recovery partition (same result..gray Apple Logo boot screen freeze).
Booting it in target disc mode allows full access to the HD without issue. HD was checked (no issues) as well as permissions the one time I did get a desktop.
Any ideas?

Was able to pull this info from the kernel log.
Feb 8 21:02:38 Username kernel[0]: NVDA: rmStart failed
Feb 8 21:02:38 Username kernel[0]: NVDA,Display-B: Not usable
Any suggestions? It appears that the video is not initializing properly. Not sure at this point if it's a hardware failure or not. I tried reinstalling when I managed to get to recovery console, but that doesn't seem to have helped either. That only overlayed the files on the partition though. Perhaps I should just try a complete reformat?

New P7N SLI Platinum Boot Issue with PS/2 Keyboard [Solved but RAID problem now]

This issue taken me back !!!! Never thought I might face issue with a PS/2 Keyboard.
Here it is.. I just assembled my new system...
P7N SLI Platinum Motherboard
E8400 CPU
EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600 GT Video Card
Creative Soundblaster Audio Card
So, before I boot, I connected good old PS/2 Keyboard. The POST Screen comes up that says Press DEL to enter BIOS Setup... but then, it reboots.. indefinitely... I have no idea why it does that. However, if I boot the PC with no PS/2 Keyboard connected, POST screen comes up and that's it.. (no reboot). So, you see, I cannot proceed further in anyway.... I cannot go beyond POST without a keyboard, but then with the keyboard it reboots indefinitely... kinda catch 22 situation
Any suggestion / ideas that anyone can offer here???

Hello Folks... it took long time to "solve the issue that had to begin with"....
I purchased a cheapo Celeron processor to get into the BIOS and update it... but it didn't even work... I couldn't boot at all. So, I called MSI and they asked me to RMA it. They replaced my MOBO with the latest BIOS - which was good news
So, now, I'm able to boot - good news...
Now, this is an upgrade for me.... from my previous MOBO. My boot drive was RAIDed (RAID 0). So, now, I will have to RAID my drives again and run Win XP repair. I was able to RAID my drives and all good... now, I went into Windows installation and did F6 to install NVIDIA Raid.... but, here is my problem, when the prompt asks me to input the floppy drive, and when I did it.... it re-prompts me to put the floppy drive again... I see that the floppy drive is read... but, for some reason it doesn't detect the files in there properly.... I downloaded nVidia C72+MCP55 SATA RAID / AHCI Driver (For floppy driver) for windows xp 32-bit and copied the sataraid folder contents into the floppy. Now, here I am stuck again....
Anybody experienced this problem?

Serious mouse issues with GTK

my mouse and touchpad for my laptop have always worked without any sort of problem. i recently switched to openbox from gnome and it's been a wonderful experience so far. i tried cleaning out unnecessary gnome stuff and installed KDE to toy with it a little. needless to say shortly afterwards i ditched KDE and switched back to openbox, only to discover my mouse being screwed. i can move the cursor around and such but after a few seconds of running my ability to click and right-click is gone. i tried re-installing gnome completely hoping it might effect it and logged into a gnome session instead but the problem is persisting here as well. if i am using my mouse in a window, i cannot select anything on the panels with it whatsoever without repeatedly right clicking in the window close to the panel and then clicking the panel. and whenever i have the panel selected i can interact with it fine but cannot switch over to any windows. it's making me believe there's something going on with the mouse thinking it's "stuck" on the panel or window so clicking outside of it is rendered useless. i really don't know, i've tried searching online and such for any help on the topic but could not find anything and this is my final resort before going completely mad. any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: i've tried toying with settings in gnome in regards to the mouse and stuff, basically just doing anything i possibly can and while using a window from the control panel for the mouse and clicking within it i started opening a ton of control panel items (appearance, etc.) leading me to believe it's definitely an issue of the mouse being stuck in a window or something.

Your mouse is handled by xorg, so you need to make sure it's configured correctly. "mouse issues with GTK" simply doesn't make any sense.
My guess is that somewhere in the middle of changing WM/DE, you also did a system upgrade (a good thing) without reading Arch news (a bad thing), so you now have xorg 1.8 and you need to change your config accordingly.

Bootcamp booting issue (multiple OSX)

Just got done formatting and installing OSX SL (deleted Lion). I installed OSX and installed all the updates for SL.
Then I used bootcamp to set up a FAT partition for Win7 and proceeded to install Windows.
I used the Windows bootcamp setup application on my SL disc to install the bootcamp drivers and then updated from 3.0 to 3.1 to 3.2 and finally to 3.3
Finished setting up Windows the way I liked it and then used WinClone to create a backup IMG file.
I then booted back into OSX SL and set that up the way I liked (installed CS5, FCS3, Plugins, etc) and used CCC to create a recovery partition.
So now if I hold down the option key at boot I have Win7, SL and my SL recovery partition.
I have two issues.
1) If I set SL as my startup partition and reboot it just hangs there with the grey Apple Logo screen. Could this be because I have 2 SL partitons? is it confused as which one to boot?
2) What is the best way to protect my newly created Recovery Partition? Do I just set the permissions for all users/admins to "Read-Only"? Is there a better way?
Thanks in advance for any input.

I don't have to tell Apple anything. Read the documentation. You just repeated what the documentation says. And the documentation has pictures. I never said Boot Camp Assistant formats the partition to NTFS, I said to read (follow is implied) the documention, I also said Windows 7 requires the partition to be formatted NTFS. It is clear in the documentation how and when the partition is formated to NTFS. Pages 8-10 http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf.
The original poster said he used DU to partition the drive. He needs to use Boot Camp Assistant while following the Installation Guide.

Boot partitions with recovery and windows? new SSD drive

Gang,
I have a new Retina 15 and bought a larger SSD from OWC. I also upgraded an older MB Air (from 128 to 240GB) and so I had an OWC Envoy with the original 128G from the MB Air in it. Killer by the way with USB3 support. So I plugged the Envoy into the Retina formatted the Envoy and then used that as a back up for the Retina using Time Machine.
I swapped out the old drive in the Retina and then put in the new OWC drive and of course the boot recovery partition was not there and so I plugged in the Envoy which had it and formatted the drive then installed from backup and everything worked fine.
BUT.... I no longer have a recovery or windows partition both of which I would like to have for this machine.
So how do I do that? Reinstall MT LION?
Thanks
Gordon

Gang,
Ok here is how you do it!
First create a MT Lion Recovery disk using Lion Disk Maker:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39701/lion-diskmaker
Then do a time machine backup to some kind of local drive or as I did my TimeCapsule.
Boot holding down the option key with the Recovery Disk inserted (I made 16 SD card, but a 8G usb stick or the larger DVD writtable drive would work as well) and select to boot to the Recovery Disk. When booted, reformat the root boot drive with GUID partition and then do a full install to your standard boot drive. This will create the recovery partition and load the OS. This is the only way to get the recovery partition created.
When done then select the Drive option when asked for were to upgrade your machine from. Then select the time machine backup which will load all your stuff.
Your done!
Thanks

IMac goes to sleep unexpectedly, Finder issues with flash drives - related?

My iMac falls asleep for no known reason, often in the middle of active use. (Similar problem recently described in thread with messageID=11829917.)
Sleep onset is frequent but seems to vary based on both currently-running software and attached devices (particularly USB flash drives). It will almost always wake up when I hit the space bar afterward, but might sleep again within a minute or two, then not for an hour or more. The sleep occurs with little notice (brief stall of display, sometimes enough time to click on another app window and bring that forward before the screen goes dark), and 95% of the time the computer wakes up after hitting the spacebar. The other 5 % of the time the display reappears but the entire OS is frozen and usually requires unplugging the power cable. There are other symptoms in the Finder - more below. Once in a while the fan revs up like a WWII fighter plane taking off from a carrier, but this is unusual and all the really irritating stuff also happens without this symptom, which usually stops on its own. Immediately after reawakening error messages are displayed to report that flash drives were improperly disconnected (Tell me about it! This has been the case for several months whether the computer goes to sleep by itself or if I put it there manually.)
The computer seems to go into sleep mode most frequently when not-particularly-demanding graphics (Photoshop Elements and Adobe Reader) and video (QuickTime Pro 7.6.4) apps are running. Turning these off makes nod-offs less frequent but doesn't stop it entirely. When video thumbnails are displayed in Finder windows a lot of time may be required to load the data and this often paralyzes everything else AND this also seems to be a trigger for a nod-off (i.e. QuickTime not necessary to make the computer choke). This is highly variable and some video clips load quickly (< 20 sec), while others take several minutes, and this doesn't necessarily correlate with file size.
Another factor is whether flash drives are connected - these seem to make the nod-offs more frequent AND Finder regularly loses communication to these both while just sitting there and also in the middle of file transfers. A very early 250 MB drive (Lexar - vintage 2004) will always communicate, but different USB2-capable drives all are either unreliable (Lexar 8 GB and KData 4 GB both < 1 yr old) or apparently dead (Lexar 2 GB ~ 2 yr old). The failures may be damaging the drives - they are inconsistent-to-bad at communicating with my MacBook Pro. I know this sounds like the drives are at fault, but there are things which make me suspect the OS (both computers use the same version): 1) different flash drives display the same on-again-off-again behavior AND the 2) the 2 GB drive that hasn't communicated with my Macs in over a month has no trouble talking with my wife's WinXP computer. When communication isn't working with these drives, they do not show up in either Finder or Disk Utility. When the Mac-dead 2 GB Lexar is plugged into either computer and I launch Disk Utility, the initial scan for drives never finishes so I have to force quit. (When they are working, on the iMac the large drives only appear in Finder if I go to User and press Command-uparrow (to go up a directory layer) - in columns display mode nothing appears in the left-hand column.
(The following describes a set of problems I've had a little longer and which may or may not be related):
At times the Finder loses some but not all functions:
1) Sometimes files in the Trash can't be ejected* even when all apps are turned off
2) usually when problem 1) is observed, no keyboard commands work: nothing happens when pressing Command-W, Command-uparrow or Command-N to open a new window. Text typed will not be entered to change filenames (but this can still be done by typing the desired text in TextEdit, copying there and selecting and pasting with mouse commands.)
<* I have downloaded an app for forcing file deletion, but haven't really needed it - the delete option and keyboard commands all return after shutdown and reboot, and there's usually enough annoying stuff going on by this time that that seems the best thing to do.>
Things which I've tried to fix it with so far (not in this order):
- blowing dust out of the back with canned air
- checking temperatures - CPU/GPU showing 72/73, HD bay 51, etc.
- fixing permissions from normal boot
- boot from install disk and running extended hardware test (no problems found during scans repeated several times during the past month)
- fixing permissions and running Disk First Aid from install disk boot
- getting files off the hard drive (was as low as 3 GB free space, currently ~ 35 GB and climbing)
- clearing PRAM
- resetting system manager (name? - hold down power button when reconnecting power cable, etc.)
- Power Saver display and computer auto sleep are shut off (both on "never" - I regularly put it to sleep manually)
- virus scans (Clam XAV)
I realize that this is a kitchen sink collection of symptoms, but these things may be related and if so, OS developers may want to be sure these problems are avoided in current versions. (Yes I will upgrade my OS soon...)

Thanks for checking in, Miriam - sorry to get testy about it.
The iMac's RAM is maxed out (2.5 GB)
Yes, the system log does report overtemp message to Power management prior to shutdown (today's log at end of post)
Where do I find normal temperatures for the system? What are the important parameters to watch and what sort of fixes are possible?
iStat currently shows:
HD 54° CPU 67° GPU 72° Incoming air 38° (???)
HD bay 54° GPU ambient 71° opt drive 49°
==========================================
Console.log was largely full of stuff about a bad flash drive I stuck in as a Hail Mary and failure of communication with a scanner (old HP, driver package installs a program which starts at launch which doesn't show up under Startup Items. Apparently the permission got mislaid, so I fixed permissions and this seems OK now. (Only included that because some of it shows up in System.log and it's not worth focusing on.)
[That all said, there is a software/OS component to the problem and it is graphics-related. The other night I was looking at some flash videos in a series and one in particular repeatedly caused shutdown, while others played normally: domain = jebhost.com /youtube/list.php?q=Henry+8.o&Submit=GO "The Tricycle Thief" only played through once out of about six tries.]
