My iMac has a white screen with a flashing file folder with a question mark in the middle. What does that mean?

My iMac is completely unresponsive. Whenever I restart it, it's just a white screen with a flashing file folder with a question mark in the middle. What does this mean?

this means the mac cannot find the startup disc. which more times than not means you need a hdd replacement.
try starting holding the option key, then using utilities try to repair the disc.

My iMac has a white screen and won't power up

When powering on my Mac, I get a white screen with apple logo and the circular progress icon (not the color pinwheel), it's been doing this for about 15 min. Suggestions????

The dark gray Apple is loaded off your Hard drive. So you can assume the Hard Drive mechanism is somewhat working.
You can try Booting is Safe Mode, which attempts one round if Hard Drive Repair and then starts with minimal extensions loaded.
The simplest task is to boot with the Option key held down. This should show a screen with an Icon for each bootable drive.
If running 10.7 choose Recovery HD, choose your language and run Disk Utility. Select your Hard Drive and Repair Disk.
If running 10.6 insert the Installer DVD, select it, boot from it and choose your language. Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu. Select your Hard Drive and Repair Disk.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

this usually means the software and hardware can't find each other for whatever reason the following article addresses this issue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
can also do apple hardware test, following article on that:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
if you can't access the apple hardware test in the above article you can also do fsck command to check the hardware as well, following article tells how to do that:
