How Long Does the iMac's Battery Last

Hi. How long will the iMac's battery last if you use it 8 hours (how about for 16 hours) a day and shut it down when you go to bed.
Thank you in advance.
Gbu.

As long as you leave the machine plugged into a live power source, even when it has been turned off it will still draw a bit of power to maintain PRAM and the clock chip, and will not use the battery.
The battery is used only when there is no othe source of power available. And, it is not recharged in the iMac.

Imac mid-2007 installation disc

Is it possible to get another installation disc for my intel imac ?
I get one of the file is corrupted and i need to get it changed.
Thank you .^^.

HI,
*"I get one of the file is corrupted and i need to get it changed."*
What's wrong with this disk? If your iMac can't mount the disk or boot from it, try cleaning it.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

IMac stalls during installation

I have a 17" iMac G5 that just recently started stalling during installation. The computer acts as if it is loading up the OS, but takes forever - somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 minutes. It has in fact eventually made it to the desktop. However, once you restart, it's back to doing the same thing.
I tried starting up from the MAC OS CD by holding down the "C" key, and now the computer just sits, and the icon spins and it has my CD in there.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and what did you do about it? Also, how do I now eject the CD from the computer?

1. What were you installing? Be very clear.
2. Where did you get the OS X installer disk? Is it a retail version of 10.4?

Imac firmware for installation of mac os 9.1 - Please Help

We cannot get Mac OS 9.1 installed on our imac powerpc g3 333. When we try to install, we get a firmware not appropriate message. My OS Boot ROM is 3.0.f10 but I don't know if that is the same as the firmware version. Anyway, we downloaded firmware 1.2 but we could not find the application named "imac firmware updater" so all we did was to stuffit expand the bin that we downloaded, and then double clicked the expanded file, and all that happened was a quick window popped up and said "verifying" and then nothing happened. We still cannot install 9.1 because of the same firmware error. Are we required to do that trick with the paperclip pushing the reset button by the usb port? Or is there some other action we need to take? The firmware error message says that the firmware I need is in the "CD extras" folder on the install CD, but there is no firmware there, nor is there any firmware updater program there. Pretty sad aint it? Happy holidays from Ron and Diane
imac g3 333 Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

Hi, dheconsl -
...a quick window popped up and said "verifying" and then nothing happened.
What should have happened after the verifying screen disappeared was the appearance of a new icon along the right-hand side of the desktop, where drive icons are shown. This icon is of the mounted disk image. Open that disk image, and inside you'll find the installer for the firmware update.
It's a good idea to print out the instructions, contained in the readme file that accompanies the installer.

New imac & adobe cs5 installation

i just bought my first imac and adobe cs5 student along with it. installed it just fine and everything but when i went to the applications folder on the dock, the install put all the cs5 folders in the applications folder. is that we're they're supposed to go or should i made the installation place the folders somewhere else? sorry i dont know much about the OS yet.
what i eventually want to do is place the icons for photoshop and illustrator on the dock too. i think all i do for that is drag them there after, and if, i can move the app folders.
thanks in advance!

It installed correctly. Also I'd STRONGLY recommend you study these sites because you are new to OS X. Don't just gloss over them study them!

IMac G3 USB Installation

First off, I'm fairly new to Arch; and loving it. I'm having problems booting the Arch installer to my iMac G3. The optical drive is broken (half a cd broken inside of it). I've tried to dd the installation iso to my usb drive. I assumed it wouldn't work, but it happens. Any tips for an Arch newcomer?

IMac OS re-installation

Hi there to ALL...
This is my first time ever to use a forum and hope it's going to be a good experience...
I have been trying to re-install Leopard OS on my iMac but never been able to succeed as it is taking hours and even sometimes I leave in the installation phase for 24hrs with (Installing) message but when I come back to it, iMac seems to be hanging without any further progress.
Could some one help please...

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Are you reinstalling Leopard because there were problems with your iMac ??
Can you eject the install disk?
If so... boot from the install disk to verify the startup disk for errors and repair if necessary.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% free disk space. Not enough disk space can cause directory corruption.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode
If you can't eject the disk, try booting while holding down the mouse, or try booting while holding down the Eject key ⏏

After installing an update (on an iMac), can the installer (.dmg) be moved to the trash?

After installing an update (on an iMac of any sort), can the installer (.dmg) be moved to the trash?

If the update is an OS installer, you might want to consider moving it to a folder of an external backup drive for safe keeping. Why? Because Apple removes earlier OS versions when a new one is introduced; there are several threads here about not being able to download Mavericks.
Just a thought. I keep copies of all OS installers. That will come in handy shortly as I just purchased a refurb 2012 iMac because it can run/boot with Mountain Lion which I need for a couple of (important to me) software applications. I have a copy of an ML installer tucked away and ready to go.

Battery installation tips?

I just bought a new rechargeable battery for my PowerBook G4 15" - had to buy it from a third party (as many of you have since Apple stopped making them). I was just wondering if there are any special tips anyone has regarding installation? Should I unplug, and power down the old battery first, etc. Or should I just turn off the computer, take out my old battery, and put in the new one? Thanks!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 15"

Hi, robbie, and welcome to Apple Discussions. No need to shut down or disconnect anything — with the AC adapter connected and the Powerbook running, just remove the old battery and insert the new one. If it isn't already charged, it will begin charging. These two articles will give you more information about battery management:

Imac 5,2 installation disk stops

insallation disk stops during "preparing for installation" but when I put the cd in my macbook pro the cd opens up with the normal screen. Is it my dvd drive? Can I attach the new hard drive to my macbook pro and install on the new hdd from there, if so how?

I put the installation disk in the MBP only to see if is the cd that is the issue. Whn I put it in the imac5,2 the installation stops and I cant seem to even get to the disk utility screen
As I mentioned in my initial post, this will not work because the original media shipped with a Mac is specfic to that Mac. Therefore attempting to use the Installation Disk from an iMac on a MBP or vice versa will NOT WORK.

Does 2013 iMac come with installation disk

I bought second hand iMac from Ebay but got no installation disk.
Should it have one?
Came complete in original packaging.

If you require an fresh install of Mac OS X....Start up your mac while holding down CMD + R.
This will download the OS from Apple for free.
P.S it will only download the OS X version that came with your iMac. You can then upgrade it to Yosemite for free.

Intel iMac PRAM battery replacement

Can anyone point me at some instructions for replacing the PRAM battery in an early intel iMac please?

It is a coin battery, 3 V Lithium (922-6476), and requires opening the case to get to it. I cannot find a teardown photo sequence that shows how to replace it. Nor do I find the battery pointed out in any of the tears downs available at ifixit.com.

IMac pram battery holder broke

My pram battery holder broke when replacing batt on 2007 24" alum iMac . The black plastic tab on the right came off so now the battery won't stay seated. Is there an easy fix?

I was able to use a folded piece of business card to wedge the battery in place.

IMac PRAM battery

I have a slot-loading iMac G3-400 and I have been unable to find what type of PRAM battery it uses. I looked up the specs in the Apple support area but it just says 3.6 Volt Lithium. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Joe

Here is a picture of the battery that you need.
