IMac 24"(late 2006)

I was given a iMac 24" (late 2006) I believe it's a 2.16 GHz intel core 2 Duo. Just was given the console itself (no mouse,no keyboard,no power cable). I was able to turn it on and a folder with a question mark came up... Wanted to know if it is worth fixing or should I try to sell it as is? And how much?

If gotten free, why not just put out a little bit of cash into it and use it!
The question mark means there is no OS installed onto the hard drive.
Did the person that gave you this Mac give you any grey installation discs that originally came with the iMac?
You can use a regular ole' PC USB keyboard and mouse, but an Apple keyboard is better.
You can Apple keyboards from Apple, Logitech, Kensington, Macally.
If person doesn't have discs, locate the iMac's serial number somewhere on the outside of the iMac (not sure where), call 1-800-MYAPPLE and ask for sales. They maybe able to supply you with the original discs that went with your iMac.
Also, you can ask Apple and see if the have retail copies of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard, I'd purchased from Apple, is $29 USD.
This iMac won't be able to run the upcoming OS X 10.8, buy you can run 10.6 Snow Leopard and, perhaps OS X 10.7 Lion.
With no way to boot the iMac and no way to tell how much RAM is, actually, in the iMac, that model can have a total of 4 GBs installed into it, Max. Outmof the 4 GBs of RAM, only 3 GBs will be addressed, by the iMac.
This is sufficient to run either OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or OS X 10.7 Lion.
Good Luck!

  • IMac (24", late 2006) does not start

    Hi
    I am no native english speaker so please excuse my english. ;-)
    I have a problem with my good old iMac (24", Late 2006, Core2Duo). When I start it the screen stays black, and the standby LED is permanently on. The gray screen doesn't appear, but the computer seems to boot normaly (usual hard disk sounds).
    When I start the iMac with long power button pressing, it starts, the standby LED flickers and I hear one long beep. Accouding to the Apple support information one long beep means "firmware restoration in progress". But we didn't start a firmware restoration and the last shutdown was a normal one, no hard power off or something similar.
    I already did a PRAM/NVRAM reset and a SMC reset. But nothing changed...
    Is there anybody who could please help me?
    Kind regards
    Dirk

    Dirk,
    Run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode 2-3 times at a miminum. If errors appear then you have confirmed a hardware fault and the machine needs to be repaired. However AHT isn't the most reliable test in finding errors, in other words if no errors appear then that doesn't mean the the hardware is OK, it just means no faults were found. My recommendation would be to take the machien to your local Apple Store or AASP to be thoroughly tested.
    BTW, you could also restart in Safe Mode , this will clear some caches however I don't think this will help based on your desciption.

  • Black bars on iMac? (Late 2006)

    Hi,
    I've been getting weird black bars on my iMac. They seem to appear when there are alot of applications loaded. Some times they're on the side of windows. Sometimes on text. Sometimes my mouse turns green. Sometimes my dock is discolored completely. Take a look: http://imgur.com/RqpVOGY,UgOIlLA,ImwHxHg,ioGfArs
    It's just plain annoying, really. Anyone out there know what it could be? I did a Apple Store chat (not knowing they wouldn't know) and they directed me to Tech Support, but warranty is out on my Mac so I'd have to pay $19.00 to find out. :/
    Specs of my iMac:
    OS X Lion (10.7.5)
    iMac Late 2006
    20.1-inch (1680 x 1050)
    Graphics: ATI Radeon X1600 128 MB
    Processor: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

  • Big Disappointment with iMac Intel (Late 2006) and Apple ProCare.

    I've been a Mac user, Mac enthusiast, and Mac advocate for over 15 years. I've owned multiple Macs. One of my latest acquisitions was an Intel iMac in October 2006.
    A few weeks ago, the iMac started freezing and shutting down intermittently. After days of online discussions trying to figure out the problem, I finally ran out of patience, and took the iMac to my local Apple Store on 7/23/07.
    Two days later, I was told that the Logic Board needed to be replaced. It's been two weeks, and every time I contact the Apple Store, I am told that they are still waiting for the part.
    Meanwhile I am left without the main computer in my house, where I store all my documents, music, photos and videos. In addition, I have a ProCare membership, and even purchased the Extended 3-year warranty. In this age of instant communication and express delivery, I cannot understand why it would take two weeks to get a part from Apple.
    I am very disappointed with the Apple Care for a company with such a high reputation for service.
    What are my rights as a consumer? How long do I have to wait before they offer me a replacement. How do I go about requesting a replacement?

    "The question still remains: How long am I going to be in repair mode before the Apple store decides to offer a replacement?"
    Hello Herold Merisier!
    The answer is that since each case may be different, there is no real set policy in this regard, with decision making and customer satisfaction in the hands of managers.
    I'm surprised to hear that there is any difficulty at all getting that logic board. I just don't believe that there is any shortage, and it does not take two weeks to get one there, unless no one cares about you, which would be an unacceptable attitude. There must be something else at play in this situation.
    I would guess that due to an inability to handle the work in-Store, the repair of your iMac has been handed over to an AASP, either to be performed at the AASP or somewhere on the Store premises.
    Due to the disruption of the iPhone events, the repair of your iMac might have dropped off the radar screen of the Apple Store's Manager, and also of the Manager of the AASP. The problem may be an overworked AASP (not your fault), with some lower level employee there trying to pass the buck back to the Store through their lower level employees, and then on to you.
    If such is the case, the job of Managers and Assistant Managers is to be aware of such things and manage them, therefore your circumstance is extremely disappointing. The first thing to do is not to try and lay blame, but make certain that the Store Manager is personally aware of your situation, and (unless you know it's already been done) to ask that all your paperwork details be verified - that your warranty and AppleCare are actually registered and in effect for your iMac, that your ProCare is recognized as being on the record, and that your iMac's repair is not accidentally misplaced, but will now be given Priority. In doing that, someone might discover the cause of your delay.
    I would guess that the Manager of your Apple Store is also not aware of your exact situation, as it almost sounds as if the Manager is on vacation, or something very much worse:(
    Considering the iMac product line and the age and needs of your iMac, the cost to Apple and the Manager of the Apple Store to fully satisfy you in this case will be absolutely negligible. If it's possible for you to speak to the Store Manager today or tomorrow, I'd be surprised if your iMac, or a replacement, isn't in your hands by Wednesday at the latest.
    If you are unable to speak to the actual Store Manager, and if the Assistant Manager to whom you then speak is unable or unwilling to resolve this for you within 24 hours, you should call AppleCare's toll free number and ask to speak to an AppleCare Manager about your lack of service problem and what the bottleneck might possibly be.

  • IMac intel late 2006, lost DVDs, how to run apple hardware test

    Hello, Applers,
    I have an iMac intel core 2 duo late 2006. I have upgraded it to snow leopard. From two months ago, it began to show distorted pictues, random lines/pixels/, and regular freezing. But if I boot it into the safe mode, it works well, although there is no sound or webcam. I did a research online and it seems that I should run apple hardware test (AHT) first. But the DVDs came withi this machines have been lost. where can I download this software? I would greatly appreciate your help if any of you who also have this model of machine and would like to lend me your DVDs.
    any suggestions are welcome.

    You can purchase replacements from AppleCare:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support visit online support site.
    There is no way to run the AHT without the discs.
    If it works OK in safe mode then you might think about:
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Reinstall Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    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. 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 installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Watered iMac 24" (Late 2006) Keyboard

    Hi,
    I have recently spilt (distilled) water on my keyboard which came with this iMac when I bought it.
    After the spill, I have tried to dry it off, tipped it upside down etc.
    However, various keys are no longer working.
    A strange thing was, I shook the keyboard, to try and shake the water out, and more keys did not work. But then after a while some keys recovered. Like the * key in the number pad died after I shook it, but worked again a few hours later. However, the space key (I am having to paste the space key for this post...) is still not working, along with the Apple key on the right of it, the apostrophe key, two arrow keys, the dash key and some on the number pad.
    So, are those keys dead forever?
    Or do I need to wait for the keyboard to fully dry?
    It has been two days since I spilt the water on it, and no more keys have recovered after the * key, which was the only one that recovered.
    There was an archived post, but there was no definite answer to that, so I am asking again.
    Any confirmed methods of help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    From Dante

    I see.
    But would it be fine after a while if I just leave it as it is now? Or maybe just stand it up for it to dry?
    I was reading that the keyboard should be fine after drying off, but some say the new Mac keyboards don't work that way... and I'm not sure how far back 'new' refers to.
    I don't think the dishwasher method isn't necessary for me, it was just boiled water that cooled down, so I don't suppose there'll be leftovers after drying...?
    I'm confused on what to believe, which is why I've noted which Mac my keyboard came with......
    And hope that someone can give me a 100% definite answer.
    Thanks.

  • IMac 24" (Late 2006) 10.4.11 constantly needs formatting!

    I have no idea why in the past 6 months to a year my iMac keeps getting more and more problems, and each one more serious. In about a week, I will have had this computer for 4 years, and for the first 3, there has never been the problems I have had in this past year.
    I know this post is a bit long, but please read through it and help me if you can.
    The problem this time:
    A few days ago, in the afternoon, I decided to upgrade the instant messenger I was using, aMsn, from 0.98.3 to 0.98.4 which all ran smoothly, until that night, a lot of my programs decided to quit itself.
    I have previously experienced Safari force quitting itself when my computer lags too badly, or when I watch videos using the Facebook player, and fine, I accept the fact that scripts probably are not entirely compatible.
    But this night, it was different, first, it quitted something on Dashboard (I think it was the clock or weather), then it quitted iTunes, both which have never happened before in the past 4 to 5 years, then it quitted Safari, then quitted aMsn, all while I was doing nothing more than browsing through Wikipedia or using Google. Then aMsn brings up a lot of error messages, after clearing them all I put my computer to Sleep. Then the next morning, I woke up, put my password in to get back on, aMsn signs in, brings a lot of the same errors I had the night before, then crashes (not force quit, you just see the cursor loading for ages), nothing from the keyboard, mouse or remote made it respond and soon, it took me back to the Log In screen for no reason.
    At the Log In screen, I put my password back in to log on, it loads for ages, takes you to where you can see your desktop picture, then goes back to the Log In screen again, and I have tried that multiple times.
    I finally gave in, and turned the computer off, but when I turn it on again, it would stay on the first screen with the Apple logo for ages, then jump to a blue screen, and makes no progression afterwards.
    I have tried everything suggested in the Problem meets Solution part of the mini booklet that came with the computer. Ran a thorough hardware check with the discs that came with the computer, nothing wrong, so eventually I wanted to format the computer, but it could not find the drive at all!
    Mine was named Macintosh HD, as that was the default name, and it was not found, so I opened Disk Utility, clicked on the drive, clicked repair, and after a while, the repair was successful, then I verified it as well, all seems good. Back at the installer, it recognised the drive, chose it, and it asked me for installation type, I chose to restore all the programs that originally came with the computer WITHOUT deleting my old files. All done, computer restarted, I can now log in. Deleted aMsn right away and installed the old version, 0.98.3, again, and started to do system updates, as it was reverted back to 10.4.7.
    All was fine, until it decided to do the crash again when I was on Safari. Previously I thought a system file was crashed by the new aMsn, so I restored the system back, deleted aMsn without hesitation, but now, the computer is back to its old self, and it crashed, with the cursor showing it is loading.
    You know when your computer is loading, and you can hear the processor working if it was loading/lagging when your room is quiet? Well, it was not that. The computer was really quiet, and you can hear something. At regular intervals, I heard sound, that seemed to be made by the processor, on a "tick tock" beat. Computer was very quiet, it was not a lag, processing sound, just a "tick tock" beat sound. Like last time, nothing made the computer respond, and it took be back to the Log In screen, likewise, could not log in, so I had to put the discs in and do everything once again, only this time, when I was in Disk Utility, the drive could not be repaired, saying something about an error when trying to exit. With absolutely no other choice, I had to Erase the drive, meaning I have now lost everything, literally everything.
    Starting from scratch, step by step, I started to build up the computer again, updates, programs, etc. Went to bed, then got up this morning, and before I could even try to restore files I have backed up, which is very few, the same thing happened again, iTunes crashed for no reason, then Safari crashed for no reason, then on Skype, the computer totally froze and crashed and I can hear that "tick tock" beat, processing sound again.
    Knowing what would follow, I turned the computer off, and on again, and like previously, cannot reach the Log In screen, so once again, I tried to repair the drive, which failed, only with an extra error saying something about "catalog B tree node", and with no choice again, erased the drive, and now on again!
    I am now writing this message with absolutely no system updates, back with 10.4.7 etc.
    I mean, did that aMsn 0.98.4 crash/delete a system file that is vital, causing this series of problems, if so, is that file not included with formatting the computer? Or do I need to download it separately?
    Or is the hardware test incorrect? I actually do have a hardware problem, but the thorough scan of hardware using the discs did not get it?
    I am absolutely lost, I have never formatted a computer and have the problem still persist me, if this is a worm, virus, trojan or whatever, I would think formatting works, but no, it has not.
    Has anyone had the same problem/experienced this problem before?
    Anyone have any suggestions that could stop this?
    I still have work for university to do, and this is just not helping.
    Should I just scrap this computer and get a new one? Because I am really tempted to punch through the screen every time I hear that "tick tock" beat, processing sound.
    Should I upgrade back to 10.4.11, and attempt to find BootCamp for 10.4.11 to partition the computer and only use Windows?
    With no idea where the problem is, I really do think it is a software one and want to switch to a different operating system, and yes, it is sad, I actually much prefer the Mac OS X more than Windows, Mac OS X is just much more convenient, but I am out of choice it seems.
    Please help me if you can.
    Many Thanks,
    From Lelouch
    (P.s. Actually, I missed something out, besides the no progression from the blue screen after the white/grey Apple logo screen, one of the times before formatting, I restarted the computer, it actually did not reach the blue screen, it was constantly stuck on the first screen with the Apple logo, and eventually, the computer just restarted itself and repeated a few times before I went for the format process.
    I also want to note, after restoring system files and applications WITHOUT deleting my own files the first time, just before the second format, when I held down the Option (Alt) key to choose the drive or the disc, the drive was not recognised as the name I have named it, Macintosh HD, but rather, it was called EFI_Boot (I think?), which was ultimately the reason I had to format completely, as my drive was no longer there according the system AND Disk Utility.)

    What made me think I need to format if I upgrade the OS?
    I just presumed so really.
    What made me think I need to constantly format computer with my problem?
    Well, after many attempts to repair the drive, which fails, cannot even reach the log in screen, I am left with no other choice?
    And also, I have to note now, System Preferences keeps crashing without reason, it either takes ages to load, just by clicking it to open, or clicking something within it, or it just crashes.
    And temporarily, it freezes the computer totally, with no response.
    Seriously, am I missing a system file or something? Anyone experienced this problem before?
    My computer is literally a blank computer right now, installed VLC and Shades, updated Adobe Flash Player, installed Skype and Adium. I would say Growl from Adium caused it, but it has happened prior to Skype and Adium. Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks,
    From Lelouch

  • My iMac 24" late 2006 refuses to wake from deep sleep,

    My iMac is refusing to wake from deep sleep or from a shutdown, will start if I persist in either using safe mode or command mode (cmd + s)but can take many attempts, have repaired permissions and verified disk, on permissions it is constantly changing the permissions on preference panes as listed below, but this is a shortened view, there are 23 lines like this.
    permissions differ on "SystemLibrary/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane/Contents/Resources/sk.lproj/Di splaysPref.nib" should be drwxr-xr-x they are -rw-r- -r- -
    Would it be ok to trash the Preference Pane folder and let it rebuild ???
    Any help welcome

    Helio, you can mostly ignore repeated Permission Repairs.
    To remove Prefpanes, right click on one & nchoose Remove.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • My imac 17 late 2006 wont start up

    the front light and the fan turn on but the screen doesn't  it happened whent I change the ram memory, i put the old ones back but wont start eather
    thanks

    Which model iMac do you have? Do you hear any error tones (eg repeating beep, pause, beep, pause)?
    If the system was working before you installed the new memory I would check the following:
    Disconnect power cord (this will reset the SMC and ensure you remove/install RAM with power disconnected).
    Your iMac should have room for 4 SO-DIMM's assuming you have one of the iMac's produced during the past few years. Which slots did you install the memory into? The RAM should be installed side by side as shown in the following article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3918
    You also need to make sure the RAM is installed in the correct banks (front bank closest to the front of the iMac, or the bank towards the rear). If in doubt which to use, you can just move them from front to back, or back to front. Be sure the power cord is not connected.
    It may be helpful to download the manual for your system and review the memory upgrade instructions to determine which slots to install the memory into.

  • IMac 24" (late 2006) graphics card replacement dilemma

    Hi,
    I've read many articles on the support communities and other sites regarding the NVIDIA GeForce 7300/7600 card issues with graphical artifacts/freezing video/random lines etc.  Having come to wits end dealing with this, and unfortunately not truely realizing a hardware issue until after my AppleCare expired, I've decided to buy a card and install it myself.  Unfortunately, this has now turned out to be significantly more difficult than first expected.
    At this moment a couple of US suppliers have botht the 7300/7600 on back order with Apple.  According to Apple and their suppliers, Apple does not manufacture these cards anymore.  However, they may still have inventory and will only supply those parts to "repair clients".  Apparently, if a supplier or other attempted to purchase this part outright, they couldn't because they're keeping inventory for repairs.  Worse yet, I believe the part if only available to those iMacs purchased in the USA.  Nice.  I live in Canada.
    So now what?  Does Apple even have inventory of this part?  And if they do, are they only available to US clients?

    Hi there,
    I had exactly the same issue with exactly the same card (7300) on exactly the same iMac. I took my iMac to my local Apple Store here in UK for repair. Before they started the repair, it only took a couple of days for the part to arrive at the store. They fitted it with a 7600 card & all is fine again.
    It seems that these cards are fairly easily obtainable via an Apple Store. Have you been in to an Apple Store to discuss?
    Good luck

  • Imac late 2006 has two big white bars on the screen.

    Hello,
         I have a late 2006 intel imac and it also has the apparently extremely common vertical white bars on the screen.
    They have the same size, about a twelveth of the whole screen, and are spaced by a well functioning bar of exactly the same size. So i thought this could be a problem with the connectors, and i wondered, is there any connector inside the imac that has 12 pins?
    P.S.: I'm trying to fix this myself because i took it to an apple authorized repair center (which is the closest we have in Portugal to a real Apple repair center), and they said it would be 550€, a ridiculous amount of money, since the screen costs something like 150€, and they ended up charging me 50€ just for letting it stay the night since they didn't even open it.
    I have been an extremely loyal customer and am extremely disappointed in Apple for not replacing this screens for free, since it's clearly a manufacturing problem.

    You are just better off saving up your money to buy a new iMac.

  • Memory upgrade on iMac (Late 2006)

    I want to upgrade the memory on my iMac (Late 2006). My present memory is 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I am getting that information from the System Profiler. That (one) module is in one Memory Slot, and the other Memory Slot is empty.
    The manual says the following:
    +Your iMac comes with at least 1 GB of Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Synchronous+
    +Dynamic Random Access (SDRAM) memory installed. You can add 1 or 2 gigabyte (GB)+
    +memory modules for a maximum of 3 GB of memory. Memory modules must meet the+
    +following specifications:+
    +* Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM) format+
    +* 667 MHz, PC2-5300, DDR2 compliant (also referred to as DDR2 667)+
    +* Unbuffered and unregistered+
    And it also says the following:
    +Your iMac has a top slot and a bottom memory slot. You can add a memory module to+
    +the bottom slot and remove the memory module in the top slot to replace the+
    +installed memory. You can add a 1 GB or 2 GB memory module for a maximum of 3 GB+
    +of memory.+
    I guess I should just do as Apple suggests and add a 2GB module to the other memory slot, to maximize the total memory in the computer at 3GB. But does anybody have any alternative experiences or suggestions? Should I perhaps add another 1GB module to the other Memory Slot so that they are both equal? Has anybody tried adding 2GB to each Memory Slot? What happens? It seems odd or unbalanced to have a 1GB module and a 2GB module as Apple suggests. Any opinions from people experienced in this would be welcome, and I thank you in advance.

        667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300), supports up to 3GB
    I would recommend OWC or Crucial as excellent online vendors in the US.
    Hope this helps
