  • My iMac will not boot up.  I  have a 3 year old iMac running   Lion.  When I push the power button I get the Apple logo, then the circular thing made up of small lines revolving iin a clockwise direction, then a progress bar which never fills in.

    The progress bar then disappears and the system never boots up.  How can I get this machine to boot without a start-up disc?
    Are there any keyboard shortcuts available?

    I think you'll need those grey original install disks as it sounds like your harddrive is corrupted.

  • Brand new iMac 3.4GHz fan runs all the time - how do I stop it?

    Hi, just opened my shiny new imac but the fan runs all the time and very loud! Has anyone any ideas how to fix this or should I return the imac to apple?
    I've also noticed that none of my external drive icon show up on the desktop - nor does the imac hardrive icon appear - any ideas?
    Thank you in anticipaction.

    Try an SMC reset, you may need to do it at least 2x.

  • Imac 27" Intel Core 7 CPU. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware scan and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back

    Imac 27" Intel Core7  CPU 16 Gig RAM. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware diagnostic and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back to Mountain Lion but problem remains. Apple Store can do no more.

    I did some more digging, it appears to be a backlight problem only. I can see the screen very dimly if I use a bright flashlight in a very dark room. It also seems to run ok if the brightness is turned down a LOT.
    So I'm thinking this is a LED driver board issue or the display itself. I'll open it up and check the connection between the two and see if I can get any more clues. At least I can use it somewhat now by dimming the display significantly...

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

    You don't have a Macbook if you are running OS 9 and it's 10 years old. The first Macbook is an Intel Mac that came out in 2006 running 10.4.x. You most likely have a Powerbook. Try posting in the Powerbook forum.

  • Fans run high at start up

    hello, for some reason almost everytime i restart(after software updates) and shut downs and then start up. it takes a little while it takes about 20 seconds to get out of the grey apple and the spinning circle thing. but in that time the fans all in a sudden run full speed. and then after about 10 minutes of use the fans slowly come down in speed and become normal again. sometimes when the fans run high at start up you can here then run but no air comes out. do i need some canned air?

    It would probably be a good idea to clean the vent, try it and see if it helps.

  • Fans run full speed when using Parallels

    I have Parallels installed on my MacBook but the problems is, whenever I run Windows XP, the fans run at full speed. I try not to run too many programs but nothing seems to help.
    Any suggestions?

    I think that it's normal that the fans run full speed when you use Parallels. It also means that your MacBook's thermal paste was applied well.
    Runing Windows XP in Parallels is a CPU intensive task and it takes a lot of power to run it. As a consequence the CPU get hot and the heat is transfered to the cooler, where the temp sensors sense it and make the fans run faster.
    It's normal.
    I bet your MB doesn't get as hot as some do...

  • Imac randomly freezes   fan runs loud

    Hello,
    My imac g5 randomly freezes. When it does freeze the fan kicks in and is very loud. This is a stock g5 Imac with no new software loaded. The only applications run on this machine so far are safari, and Mail. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be wrong? I've had the machine for 2 months and it has run fine untill the last week of random freezes. Also does anyone know apples policy regarding replacement or repair? I do have applecare. any advice would be appreciated, thanks,
    Dan

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem. I've had it for a couple of months now. My iMac G5 (iSight) is only a couple of months old - I got one of the last ones just after the intel came out. The freeze occured loads with 10.4.6. I've just had it again with 10.4.7 - my first time since I updated with the full combined installer a few days back.
    I regularly repair permissions. I have run fsck from single user mode. I have run apple hardware test - no faults. I have checked/repaired the disk from the install disk - no faults. I have removed all external devices - I previously suspected it might be a USB hub causing the problem but no. I have not removed additional ram as yet - that is my next step though it pains me to be doing such things when I bought the computer from Apple and you would think they would have installed Apple approved/top quality ram.
    It is very weird behaviour. Never experienced it in all my mac owning days - and I've got/had a few. I had hoped it was a combination of 10.4.6 and the iMac G5 (iSight)... but the latest update has not fixed the problem. And I find it hard to believe it may be the RAM. Because surely RAM just doesn't fail that often?!? And like this?
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • Imac (Intel based) fan runs continuously and loudly.

    Have done a SMC reset, and the fan is still running loudly and continuously.  Only 1 application open - firefox.  This has been an ongoing, continuous problem.
    Thanks in advance for any help you might offer.

    Have had the same problem  .. have reset the PRAM & SMC, doubled the amount of RAM.  Fans runs & Activity Monitor shows most of RAM is used up with nothing open.  Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a Mac Book with 4g of RAM,  Apple Support showed no hardware problems.  ????

  • 27in iMac very loud fan noise. 3hrs after setup and running the fan came on. Sounded like a jet taking off.

    Brand new fathers day gift. The unit is cool to the touch. Air being blown out of bottom is cool. Shut down unit was what I found to get it to shut off. That worked. I get up this morning and wake computer from sleeping and immediately fan comes on. I'm thinking I should take it back. 2 days old but the amount of updating it needed to do it was prolly built months ago.

    Tammy,
    You can do a SMC reset. BTW the port on the bottom is the air intake, the exhaust is on the back on the upper left. However I'd recommend immediately contacting Apple Care. The machine should be OK right out of the box. You can find the contact information in your country at AppleCare Contact Info.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • IMac 27" - i7, Fan running at high speed - roaring noise

    I just bought an iMac 27" i7 with 8 gig of RAM and the upgraded 2 gig graphics card on 09/28.  All of my stuff transferred from my old iMac without any real problems.  I turned the system on one morning and after about 2 1/2 hours of use the fans starting running in high speed mode - the noise is unbelievable.  It's so loud you can't possibly work or make a phone call on speakers.  Keep in mind I'm using the system with the same software and in the same manner as my older computer.  I took it to the Genius Bar and they couldn't determine what was wrong with it so they are replacing the machine.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Before taking it in do a SMC reset, you should also run Software Update and update to 10.6.8. If the reset doesn't work the first time then do it 2-3x it will not hurt anything.  Also please follow the instructions as described.
