IMac intel does not load icons or if does will not open icons

I had a error message this AM to restart my IMac. I did this and since then I can not get any icons to open. Last, attempt I unplugged everything for 2 hours. Unfortunate for me it now does not load icons when I logged in. Help please!

Hello:
There was an OS X 10.7 update released a month or so ago that fixed this problem. Run software update.

imac intel monitor not working

Hi Robby62,
please do report back.
Also, after you have successfully installed the BootCamp Drivers from the Leopard DVD (which are version 2.0, btw.) you might want to download the 2.1 version update here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/bootcampupdate21 forwindowsvista32.html
The update also has to be installed while in Windows.
Have Fun

Does anybody how how to install a software to imac (intel), does anybody how how to install a software to imac (intel)

does anybody know how to install a new software to imac (intel)?
I have tried and is doesnt' automatically load up when a program is placed in the drive.... its like it isn't reading it or something

In addition to stedman's, you really should not need any software for your camcorder. What is it supposed to do? You already have software on your Mac to work with video: iPhoto and iMovie.
Edit: take a look at this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f85198.html
Make sure to check out the link on iMovie compatibility!

My iMac intel is not booting

My iMac intel suddenly stopped responding. On trying to restart it failed to boot. I am getting a white screen with a folder icon with a ? Sign. Efforts to do a safe start by pressing shift have not helped. What should I do next?

Your Mac can't find a file from which to boot.
A safe boot by holding down the shift key may help.
If not, what version of OS X was it running?

After updating to Snow Leopard on my iMac (Intel) DVDs not recognized

Can any one help me to solve the problem?

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

IMac intel does not recognize Boxlight XP-56d projector

The intel iMac flat panel computers that we have in our schools do not recognize the Boxlight XP-56d projectors. However, they do recognize the newer Boxlight XP-58Z projectors. We have tried different cables, building back up from install CDs, eliminating preferences, etc. The projector just cycles through inputs. I have made at least 5 calls into tech support with no resolution. I was hoping one of you may have some ideas. Unfortunately, the middle school with the issue has 6 of these rogue projectors.

Have you checked the manufacturer's site for info or a driver?
Only info I can find is these were discontinued as of 2004.

IMac -Intel-freezes while loading.

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/.

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 main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Intel-Duo 20" iMac/Intel Chip Not As Good as Motorolla/Memory/System Delays

I admit - I am a World of Warcraft type guy. If I boot up the system - and just chose WoW - all is good. If I start Safari, it hangs for a bit - then loads. If I am running WoW - and Safari is up, WoW gets choppy. If I close Safari - and I have been playing a while, WoW remains choppy.
It seems to me that memory management of the iMac is not very good. Either ram is not flushing or there is a conflict between Safari and other programs. I have not put it through lots of tests- but I notice a major difference.
My old G4 portable - 17" PowerBook, actually handles this so much better. Am I the only one to notice a quality difference between Intel and Motorolla?
Thanks.

There's no difference in memory management based on hardware. Memory management is a function of the operating system and would be the same regardless of which platform is running OS X.
The problem you describe may more likely be related to the GPU and amount of VRAM and installed RAM as well as the screen resolution and bit depth.
Inasmuch as you did not provide the hardware configurations of both machines it's pretty difficult to identify any differences. Safari should not "hang" during startup which may suggest your system needs repair.

I have a imac intel core duo 2.0 ghz, 20" That will not start up...HELP

My iMac will not startup, I have tried everything, reset PRAM, attempt to boot into SAFE mode, I am unable to do so. I am currently booted up hard drive to mount.

Im having same problem and I have exhausted my knowledge of how to fix.
I can see the device is system profiler. Nothing comes up in Audio/Midi Set up though.
Garageband doesnt detect anything until I activate a network session then garageband says there is a midi input but I still get no sound whatsoever.

Second Life Audio Problems on iMac Intel Dual core

Hello, I just set up my new iMac, and wanted to use Second Life. However, no matter what I do, I get no audio while in the game. I have set the preferences in the game to stream audio and video, but no luck.
Second Life works fine on my G4 Powerbook, and (ahem)Dell PC, but my honking, brand new super duper iMac--no sound!!!
Second Life told me to delete SL and reinstall which I did with no luck.
Preferences for the iMac are set for internal audio input and output, and I can hear iTunes and DVDs, but no sound in Second Life.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this puzzle for me.

"Second Life works fine on my G4 Powerbook, and (ahem)Dell PC"
If that game's not yet optimized for your iMac Intel, play it in Boot Camp instead. Will work better than it does on your Hel.

Download OLYMPUS MASTER 2 FOR IMAC intel

Making the switch from PC to Apple. My iMac Intel does not recognize the Olympus Master 2 DVD that does work on the PC. Is there a free complete download (not just an upgrade) for Olympus Master 2 that will work in my iMac Intel.

Try > Olympus Imaging Software - Olympus Master 2
If it is incompatible with 10.7, give iPhoto a try. > Apple - Support - iPhoto

IBooks Author do not open my book file: help me!!!

Hi, iBooks does not open my file: I already tried with the various ways explained in the forum, as the makeup of the Zip extension, but I have not solved.
Let me explain:
I worked on my book directly onto a USB stick on a macbook, then I went home and I overwrote the file on my iMac with one of the key: result!?
The file in question does not open, and even that on the stick!
Have you any suggestions please?
My partner has recovered files on your computer with DiskDrill, but iBooks does not open them. He remembers reading that there is someone who is able to send the file to open it, but has not found the message (where there was the email).
Important to me is because I retrieve the text written to the file and the backup I have now is an old version and miss him so much written material (pictures and filming them have).
Can you help me, please?!?
Manuela.
=^__^=

The file in usb is definitely damaged because it is 200 MB compared to around 1 GB it should be.
When I worked with the MacBook directly on usb I think that once the file is damaged during the last save (I did not realize this before).
In iMac I overwrite the original file with that of USB. Result: I have two files of about 200 MB (one in usb and one in iMac) that do not open.
Now I have only an older version that opens but I lack the important text that I wrote later. I retrieved other files previous Iba with the software diskdrill including one from a GB or so and very recently (4 days before) but it does not open.
I'm interested to recover all the possible text from the file iba that I have.
I know the possibility to send at someone to Apple the file groped for a recovery or at least extrapolation of data (I am interested only written texts).
Can you give me please an email to send the file (I send the link to download it)?
Thank you very much!

My imac was running snow leopard and was upgraded to Mt. Lion. My Microsoft Office for Mac now will not open. SO since my Office was 2004, I just purchased Office for Mac 2011. Do I delete the icons before loading Office 2011 OR after I load 2011?

Upgraded my Imac to Mt. Lion and now the Microsoft Office icons will not open WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT, or ENTOURAGE. I just pruchased on Ebay
OFFICE 2011 since my old version was 2004. DO I REMOVE THE OLD ICONS BEFORE LOADING OFFICE 2011 RO AFTER I LOAD IT???
THANKS, DR PEPPERMINT

Office 2011 will install in a separate folder. But do not install Office 2011 until you remove Office 2004. It comes with its own uninstalled located in the MS Office folder. Only use the uninstaller to get rid of it. Then install Office 2011.
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program.

I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and upgraded the memory and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program. I can see the hard drive in the disk utilities window however it wont let me do anything.
It is a seagate 1TB SATA II drive however it is displaying it as a 7.3 TB.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
I have tried to erase and partition and get the same error message each time, 'Input/Output error'.
I have tried starting the thing with the install disk which is Mac OS X (Tiger?) which came with the computer. No good.
Anyone?

Thats correct. I can see it in the list however when I attempt to erase it or partition it it's like it's not being found or recognised and it throws up the input/output error message. I am pretty sure that the sensor it attached correctly and it is a SATA drive. I can see all the infor regarding the drive when disk utility is open and it all looks good but I cant access it or do anything with it. It's taunting me!
The install disk is in the drive and the install program runs right up to the point where you have to select the location for the install and there is just nothing in the box where you have to select the hard drive icon.
I have my suspiscions about the drive but any help would be appreciated.
