IMac Alu 2007 crashed and does not startup anymore

Hello
I have a iMac alu 2007 with OS 10.6.8
Yesterday evening, it suddenly crashed and I did not manage to start it again.
Actually, during one second (not more) it seems OK , I can hear the noise from superdrive but then nothing happens. When I place my hear on the computer, I can hear a little noise (crakkling) telling me it powered but nothing more, nothing on screen, no boot.
I have tried to unplug during 15 s but no change.
I have also tried to boot on one external disk but nothing.
my last hope was a stop because of too high temperature but it does not work also this morning.
Any idea ?

Hi,
did u boot through firewire or usb ?
Try to boot from cd and holding down the "c" key when u start the computer. Is it working ?
try this link:

It could be that your hard drive crashed, that is one of these crakkling noises.

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.

Installed creative cloud for MAC (running OSX 10.9). App does not run. I see the Creative Cloud icon at top of screen (in menu) for about 0.5 seconds then it disappears. No error messages or warnings. I have tried to uninstall and install the desktop app many times with the same results. It appears there is no way to download the LR CC and PS CC that I paid for.

21" iMac getting white screen and does not boot up

Hi All!
This is my first time to post here but have been using Mac OS since 2009.
I am having issues with my Mid 2011 iMac 21". I keep getting a white screen and it does not boot up.
I am a bit technical so I have done all the necessary steps as below:
1. Powercycle the system (Shutdown, unplug for 10 seconds and replug) = No go
2. Reset NVRAM several times = No go
3. Went to Safe Boot = Vertical white stripes on blue screen appears
4. Tried booting on Recovery Disk = Vertical white stripes on blue screen appears
I'm thinking my video card is faulty now.
Any help guys? I hope my hard drive is not fried
What's worse, my 3 year extended warranty just expired last June and it's only been 3 months

First i can't send it back becuase it didnt have a warranty i purchased it on ebay. second the guy didnt send the install disks with it as he promised i have tried to follow up with him with no luck so hes been reported to ebay. and due to current buisiness expenses cant afford the new software. is there anything else i can do to at least boot the thing so i can figure out whats wrong with it. and has anybody experienced this before and if so how was the issue resolved. soooo frustrated as buisiness is at a stand still till this machine works. p.s.it has osx leopard latest version.

My iMac goes to sleep and does not wake up, the fans also make a loud noise

My iMac has just had its hardisk replaced, few months ago. Now whenever I go into any website, do downloads and when it goes into screensaver it makes a **** of a noise then when I leave it it does not go into sleep but shuts down. If I try and restart straight away it won't switch on I have to wait a while. I think it gets very hot and might be shutting down. I have cleaned the fans and reset the SMU and PRAM. Any other suggestions or do I need to replace the fans???????????????????

You certainly have a heat problem, since the machine needs to cool down before you can turn it back on. Have you opened the case (as long as it's not an iSight) and vacuumed the fans and air vents? If that doesn't help, you will probably need to take it in to be looked at. Have you checked t see if you qualify for one of Apple's Repair extension programs?

Access app crashes and does not want to open. What a reason?

I often use one Access application which consists of many calculations in VBA code. One “perfect” day this application simply crashed while running. And after this event everytime I try to open it it crashes and closes. I suppose that
this issue somehow related with an excessive file size. I thought about all the created and then deleted data and I can’t be sure that Access make this space free again. So, just in case I set all temporary objects to nothing, but with no result. Maybe I can
convert it somehow or compress the file? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Of course a size of file can be a reason. Access isn't really very capable when it comes to handling large volumes of data. If i am not wrong 2003 and 2007 Access versions have about 2Gb size limit. If your file is near this limit point
then maybe really it is time to split the database, as Bill said.
Also sometimes a bad written VBA code can be a cause of some problems. So, you should be more careful with it.
If the problem still exist, then maybe you need to run any third-party software. I would suggest Recovery Toolbox for Access
https://access.recoverytoolbox.com/ Hope something will help you in the matter.

Downloaded an App that keeps crashing and does not work

Hi,
I purchase a Sudoko app for my ipod touch and it doesn't work. I try to open it and it keeps crashing. I deleted it and re-installed it and it still does not work. I e-mailed the developer Bradley J Danitz 10 days ago with no response from him nor any help. I am not happy with this App or Mr Danitz for his lack of support.
Sincerely,

Replacing the LCD it's quite simple, just requires a lot of work and the correct tools, keep in mind that doing so will void your warranty and your phone might not be waterproof after this.
this is how to replace the LCD

Microsoft and Safari Update went wrong: MacBook does not startup anymore

Hello all!
maybe someone can help me:
I updated Safari and Microsoft office two weeks ago and now I can't start my MacBook anymore.
Starting from the disc does not work either, however I am able to access the disc utility from there. Verification if fine, still when trying to startup either 10.4.11 or 10.4.8 from the disc, I am stuck in the whitescreen. I am also unable to eject my disc and now.
Any help or should I go to a local apple store (here in London, UK) to figure out if they can help me? After all, I am unwilling to pay for a repair since I never had problems with my mac before and now just that update messed everything up.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
Tobbs

So you have not been able to start up for the last two weeks?
"Starting from the disc does not work either, however I am able to access the disc utility from there."
How can you access Disk Utility from there if you can't start up from the OS installer disk? I doubt updating Safari or Microsoft Office had anything to do with your present start up issue. There is nothing there that would cause startup problems.

MDM Maps in Import Manager crashes and does not open

I am having problems with some of my maps in the Import Manager. While working in the Import Manager the maps are fine and I am able to import the data, but once I exit out of Import Manager and try to open the same map, it crashes and closes the application. I am not sure what the issue my be. Could it be the fields I am mapping to are creating a conflict somewhere? Has anyone encountered the same problem. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This was happening to me as well. Basically, the data I was submitting was much too large for MDM to handle which resulted in a timeout. To resolve this, I copied my data to temp tables to minimize the number of records I was sending it. After my experience with Import Manager, I think it's safe to say that it was not intended for large data loads. In the future I will be using Import Server and translate my data to XML.

Two issues, firefox crashes and does not close the process

I am a web developer, so I am contently messing about with websites,
I start firefox and open up wordpress for example and also have filezilla open and notepad++ on my computer as well as firefox all at the same time.
I edit something and refresh firefox, it hangs, but it does not stop hanging so I have to restart firefox, but the process is still running so I have to stop the process from task manager in order to restart firefox again.
This should not happen, not only does it happen regularly but it happens after refreshing pages after an edit
of course I have tried switching off plugins and even my internet security but its still doing it. I have taken to using opera instead of firefox when developing websites but I much prefer firefox layout..
I need all these programs open by the way in order to achieve my work.
any ideas ?.. thanks
