IMac (Mid 2006) won't start

Our family iMac, which we got in May 2006, will not start. Whether trying to boot normally or in safe mode, a grey screen appears. Shortly thereafter, a darker grey apple symbol appears, followed by a progress bar below the apple. However, once the progress bar gets about one-twelfth of the way, the computer shuts off. When I put in a Snow Leopard disk and booted from the disk, it allowed me into disk utility, terminal, etc. I can see all our files through the terminal (so the harddrive isn't the issue), and disk utility says it's all fine and dandy, nothing to be fixed. I at least need to boot to back up the computer onto an external harddrive we have, although getting the computer to work for my family again would be optimal. Any ideas?
Further information: We have an iMac4,1, Intel Core Duo, 1.83GHz with 1.5GB RAM, running OS 10.6.3 and Kernel Version Darwin 10.3.0.

My iMac 2009 model won't start.

My iMac 2009 model won't start. Was working fine the night before, tried to on it but still no response. I also tried unplugging and plugging into the main switch plus other power points several times , doesn't work either. Please assist as most of work and important information are stored in it. Thank you

When you press the power button, what happens? When you say "no response," does that mean it does not power on at all?
You unplugged from power and plugged it back, but I would try it again following this procedure for resetting SMC exactly
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
When you connect it back, if you are using a "power strip," try connecting it directly to a wall outlet. Be sure to check the connection of the power cord at the iMac end (disconnect and reconnect there too). You should disconnect ALL cables from the iMac and try to start it up with only the power cord connected.

IMac G5 PowerPC won't start - any ideas?

My iMac G5 PowerPC won't start - the initial chime will sound, but nothing appears on the screen. After about 10 seconds the fan starts to run at a very high speed. The "on" light does not come on. To shut it down I hold control, open-apple, and press the start button.
Obviously, I am going to have to take it somewhere for a repair estimate but I would like to have some idea of what may be wrong.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Before we become too gloomy, first try re-setting the SMU. Very simple procedure. The chime is a bit of good news, but this could be the power supply, the logic board or both.

If this is a non-iSight model, you can take the back off (three captive screws at bottom; don't unscrew them too far, just enough to get the back loose.) Very easy to do. Then follow this procedure to see what the LED lights are saying about what might be wrong.

Also, look for swollen, or leaking capacitors on the board. They are numerous, little metal cans about 3/4 inch tall. Inspect for perfectly flat, not rounded, tops.

10.4.7. iMac 20" CoreDuo won't start any more

I did upload 10.4.7 yesterday together with iPhoto, iPod, iTunes (6.0.5.) and some other recent updates (altogether there were five, I cannot recall the last one). At first I did notice some “ticking” inside the iMac (2.0 GB RAM) every now and then, let’s say few minutes apart. That has never been heard before. Then this morning I noticed that iTunes was very slow. I did add few of my cd’s, and when attached the cover photo to the lower left corner the iTunes did update it very slowly, I think it took 1-2 minutes to add a photo to 12-15 songs. Then I did call Apple support (case #653790xx). The call took over an hour since everything I did on my computer was like slow motion. We did use DiskRepair and looked at the Console. When restarting the iMac it took several minutes, and when using safe re-start (shift on after re-start) the OS didn’t recognize my bluetooth keyboard. Then I was given advice to reload 10.4.7 from Apple’s site and install it again. Also I was asked to do Hardware Test (from install DVD). When I did try to re-install 10.4.7 there was an error after 71% uploaded, the installer asked to do that again. Then I did Hardware Test as advised, but there were no errors found (I did extended test with looping on and took several rounds). Next, when I tried to restart iMac from hard drive (Macintosh HD 10.4.7), it stopped repeatedly on Mac OS X window. Now I’m stucked, my iMac won’t start any more (I’m writing this by Windows machine, can you imagine?!)
I don’t know what’s wrong, but I have used Macintosh from 1987 (IIcx) and never, never before I have had these kind of problems. I suggest so far, that you take care when installing 10.4.7 on Intel iMac, I guess there might be a problem. I wonder why there is not email support for these kinds of problems and alert messages…? I’ll leave sailing tomorrow for two weeks and cannot report this by phone.
iMac 20" (CoreDuo) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver!

IMac (G1 Intel) won't start after having been shut down (for extended time)

I haven't been using 1st generation Intel iMac for about a year and after reconnecting it now it simply won't start. I have tried resetting SMC, no help. Also tried another outlet. The fans are not spinning up, nothing on the screen, no startup chime. It worked perfectly before I shut it down last tiime.
Any ideas what might be wrong, what to troubleshoot/fix?

Have you ever changed the PRAM battery - they run flat after a few years? Not sure if it would prevent booting if it were flat, but possibly.
Try leaving the Mac plugged in to a power socket for a few hours (if you haven't already) and then try again. If it does boot (bit of a long shot) get a new PRAM battery.

Mid-2010 iMac running Lion Won't Start Up?

I have a mid-2010 iMac running OS X Lion. It was running slow one day so I restarted it. When I restarted it, the iMac went to the white apple logo screen and had a small loading bar at the bottom. After it loaded it would not start up. I have the Snow leapord install disk but I have a wireless keyboard, so I cannot press C to get to the reinstall menu. Any ideas that could help?

Probably your hard disk is damaged. Apple has called some iMacs bought between October 2009 and June 2011 for repair because they have damaged hard disks, so see if you've one of those Macs > http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive
Press C key after the startup sound to boot from the disc, go to Utilities > Disk Utility and repair the disk

IMac 20" (ealry 2006) won't start - No chime

After starting my friend's iMac using the "option" method to choose a volume to startup with... (he was experiencing the "?" flashing folder) I selected the Macintosh HD and then clicked the arrow. The system just went into a black screen and the hard drive spun... it just stayed liked that. I powered it down holding the power button in.. then restarted. Now what it does is it initiatlly turns on (the while power light comes on) for about 3 seconds and then powers down immediately...
Anyone have any thoughts?

Well then he has more serious issues. You can try doing a SMC reset however I think that's futile. I suspect either his power supply has died or possibly the logic board. My recommendation at this point is to make an appointment with a AASP and take it in for service. Get a quote, if it's over $500 my recommendation is to begin shopping for a new iMac. If he's interested in that Apple Refurbs are a terrific deal!

My MacBook Pro 13in Mid-2010 won't start unless I hold the power button for about 10 seconds! Help Please!

Hello.
I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch (mid-2010):
Processor: 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3
Running Mac OS X 10.7.2
Yesterday I opened my computer (was sleeping as usual) and the screen just flasehed white and the computer powered off. The magnetic electricity thingy was connected and was green, so it was fully charged, and connected to the electricity.
Since it powered off, I tried turning it on again, and again, one second after starting to boot up, screen flashed white and the computer powered off.
I read somewhere I should hold down the power button longer, so I did, and it booted up. That's why I am able to write this. But every time I turn it off or put it to sleep, it does the same thing when I boot up.
If I don't hold the power button for 10 seconds or so, the computer won't work.
Then today, I did a backup of my entie hard drive, just in case. Later, I started using Excel, and about 1 hour after I was on it, suddenly it got really slow. Like I would click on a program like Safari, and it would take over 30-45 secs to start and be ready. And my computer is usually really fast!
I went on the Internet again, started in safe mode, boot up with option+command+P+R to reset PRAM, and nothing worked. Then suddenly on one turn-off/turn-on (since I can't restart because the computer only starts if I hold the power button for 10 seconds), again it is working at normal speed.
What can this be? Any ideas?
I really appreciate your time and help in advance

I forgot to say I had already tried that as well. Just in case, I just tried it again and there was no change :S
Are you running the Apple-supplied RAM? Have you run Apple Hardware Test? I don't know what else you've tried, but this may be time to do a fresh install of Lion if you have not done so since installing Lion.

IMac Windows 7 - Won't Start Up - i/o error 0xc00000e9

Hello Bootcamp Community,
About a month ago I was working with both OSX 10.6.8 and Windows 7. After moving from OSX to to Windows 7 I started getting a message saying that a drive connected to the machine was causing and i/o error 0xc00000e9. I unplugged all the drives that I had attached went through startup repair and got into Windows 7. But now - I'm still having the problem and it won't even let me go through Start-Up repair.

I should add that I just installed 8GB of RAM to the 4GB the iMac came with. Possibly now that the total machine has a 12GB of RAM the Windows 7 system is confused and can't start up?

New iMac 20 500Gb won´t start

I got my new iMac iSight 20" today. With the wireless keyboard and mouse and the 500Gb hd option. Great - if it would start.
First time I switched it on, I heard the Apple-sound, then the screen turned gray and showed the apple-logo. Forever. At leasts for several minutes. Then I switched it off, disconnected the power-cord and tried again. Now the screen won´t even turn gray, but after a while the fans runs like crazy.
Defective disc? or what?

I tried pushing the cd in, but it wasn´t drawn in.
This may sound obvious, but I just wanted to verify that you tried inserting the CD with the computer on. The drive should accept the disk as long as it has power.
If it is not accepting the CD with the power on, then you definitely have something interesting going on inside the computer.
I have had several macs since the 80s but this is my worst experience so far
For some reason the iMac G5's seem to be having more than their share of trouble. They don't seem to have the success rate that I am familiar with on Apple's other computers.
I've had two iMac G5's (purchased from Apple) and have had both of them serviced many times.
My recent one is only a couple weeks old, and was put in for service the same day it arrived.
But, with AppleCare I am sure I'll have all the bugs worked out by the time my 3-year warranty expires. If not, they can keep taping it together to get me through the next 3 years.
I am not sure why Apple's quality has seemed to slip. I have never had any trouble with any other Apple computer other than the two iMac G5 computers I have had. Even my first generation Mini is working fine with no service ever having been needed.
Sad when compared to the $400 Compaq I have. I purchased a Compaq PC for some other needs we have, and it hasn't had a single problem at all. It also had a very small profit margin for Compaq, so they didn't short me on the deal. It's a AMD Athlon 64 3400+. Basically, it's a 64-BIT system with a 2.4 GHz CPU that supposed to compare to a 3.4 GHz Intel (which it does quite favorably). It's fast, powerful (for a PC), and definitely more reliable than either of the iMac G5's I've had.
I also sold my 3 or 4 year old HP computer last year, and it put in a strong service life. The new owners are still using it without any trouble (I know them). And, it never failed once. Again, I only paid about $400 for it as well.
I've owned tons of PC's and the following Mac's:
PowerMac G3 266-DT
iBook SE G3 366 (Indigo)
iMac G3 333 (Lime)
iMac G5 (rev. A) 1.8 GHz
Mac Mini 1.25 GHz
iMac G5 (rev. B) 2.0 GHz
And, the only systems I've ever had fail have been the two iMac G5 computers.
So, Apple's quality control seems to have gone down where the iMac G5's are concerned. I wish I could say that they were as reliable as my PC's, but unfortunately the PC's and the older Mac's are rock solid by comparison.

IMac G5 17" - Won't Start? (HELP NEEDED SOON!)

EDIT 4: (Yes, I'm that impatient. Sorry.) The thing below worked ONCE, but it hasn't loaded since. And we still can not get the Startup Disk to load. (As a side Q, why is it that Safe Mode is the only thing that loads anyway?)
EDIT 3: We tried pressing the Command, Option, P, and R keys. That got the tone to sound! HALLELUJAH! But now it's whining again, is that supposed to happen? And will it take all night? (Most of all, will it overheat?)
EDIT 2: We also tried using Safe Mode. (Once.) It actually made our computer do something - but that something was overheating. (Loud, whirring noise, like it is having a heart attack, like it is going into outer space, pick a description. )
EDIT: I checked Apple's article on this. The one that says to start up from the disc. It didn't even load, so please do not say to do that.
We have had our old iMac G5 for about 5 years now (as soon as 2010 comes, anyway).
Recently we had a problem where it suddenly locked up.
Now, even after removing all non Apple hardware, unplugging it, taking it apart and checking the connections, and cleaning it from the dirt inside, it only loads the Apple logo with the grey start up screen and the spinning icon. After that, it just stops and won't do anything else.
We also tried booting up from the Startup disk, but it simply ejects it. (Which is surprising, since it won't do anything else.)
Can someone please tell me how to fix this, or is it finally dead for good?
BTW, we have bought a new Mac, but we still had all of our old pics and such on the old computer, so it is really quite valuable to us.
So if it isn't savable, is it possible to take those photos of the HD and somehow back them up? (Stupid question, I know.)
Thanks,
SSD~

If you could get the old Mac to start in FireWire Target Disk Mode
it may be seen by a healthy Mac (via proper FW cable between
them) as an external hard disk drive. In this way, files or items
saved on the old computer's drive may be accessible and could
be archived by the second, healthy computer on CD-R or DVD.
The old computer's hard disk drive need not be able to start up
that computer beyond the instructions in FW TDM to see content.
"How to use FireWire Target Disk Mode"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
There are circumstances in which a healthy computer
could also be utilized to check or attempt a repair on
a failed one, using the FW Target Disk Mode and the
healthy computer's Disk Utility's 'repair disk' from the
version in the healthy computer's utility folder.
Sometimes a failed hard disk drive may make odd noise, or
some other issue in the computer due to component failure
may cause problems. A failing logic board may mimic other
kinds of issues, depending on where the fault occurred.
{Also, an external enclosure could be bought and the drive
from the iMac G5 put inside, then this drive could be looked
into by the healthy computer; using disk utilities to see if it
could be accessed and some content saved elsewhere.
Be sure if you buy an external hard disk drive enclosure
that it will work with the hard disk drive type from the G5.}
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

My iMac Mid 2010 Has Suddenly Started To Slow Down.

Hello,
My iMac has suddenly started to slow down. It was fine just a week ago.. Login time has increased, Applications take a while to start and they can sometimes make my computer unresponsive.
Finder freezes and so does safari.
I have deleted ALOT of old files and things i don't use anymore. I deleted my Windows Partition. I have also tried my options in disk utility but it seems to have not no effect. I also re-installed Mavericks.
I don't know what else to try. Please let me know if there is anything i haven't tried.

My iMac (mid-2011) does not start and AHT is OK

I had a similar issue last June and after I carried my iMac to Genius bar, they decided to replace the HDD on warranty. It solved partially the issue but after uninstalling flah player, everything was fine. So, 3 days ago, when this problem occured again, I uninstalled and reinstalled flash player.
But this time, it solved the problem only for one day (it should mean that is is not related to 'Flash"), and I have not been able to start it ever since.
I tried all kinds of resets and ran a bunch of tests with no result.
When I do the AHT (Apple Hardware Test) from disc2 , result is perfect and AHT does not find any hardware problem.
I tried to boot from disc1 (installation disc) but no way to boot. It could be that I have updated OSX 10.6 to Lion 10.7 and disc is 10.6???
It seems I am stucked. Any idea will be welcome

Have you tried a safe boot, by holding the shift key down as you boot? That will take longer than a regular boot, as it's doing some disk maintenance. If that works, try a normal boot.

IMac mid 2007 won't read internal dvd drive

I have a mid 2007 imac and it no longer recognizes the internal dvd drive when I insert a blank dvd to burn.

Not a thing we can do, it has suffered a hardware failure so your only option is to take it into your local Apple Store or AASP to be serviced.
Good luck.

Imac(intel) 27" won't start, can I save data?

I have OS X.?.? the bought the Imac 27" in June 2010
after holding the on/off button for 3 seconds, the computer shuts down finally.
then I hit the on button. I get the initial sound, then I get grey screen with spinning wheel. I let that go for hours and nothing happens. I have to do 3 second off button hold again.
I found there recovery mode and safe mode and others. I do NOT have a backup, but want to save my data some how. I have a USB external HD. I do not have a second Mac.
what do I do first? recovery mode, then start disk utility and then repair startup disk? Or do I work to save my data to external HD first?

Thanks Carolyn. Do i hold the command + R key before or after startup tone?
I held down the command + R key before hitting the power button and just got the same white screen with apple and spinning wheel.
I now held down the shift key for safe mode AFTER the startup tone and held until got spinning wheel and it is still spinning???
for recovery and startup mode, how long can it take until the spinning wheel goes away?
also if recovery and startup modes do not work, then what next?
1. command + S or
2. start from disk. I have the OS X install DVD
thanks so much for your assistance
