IMac no turn off

My iMac Intel (2010) no turn off.
Thank you

Press and Hold the Power button until it shuts off.  Then I would recommend you Reset the SMC and the PRAM:
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Hope this helps

  • My imac G5 turns off on mi then dont want to turn back on at all but after one day turns on mormaly then turns back off again

    my imac G5 turns off on mi and dont want to turn back on at all but nex day tuns on normaly then tuns back off again

    It could be several possible issues.
    1)  Your G5 iMac could be overheating.  Depending on which model, you might be able to open the back by yourself (not on an iSight model), and using a can of compressed air, youcould blow the dust out of it.
    2)  The power supply could be going bad.
    3)  The hard drive could be going bad.
    There could be several others.
    If you have the original, came with the iMac when purchased new Install Disks, you can try running the Apple Hardware Test to see if it can determine any hardware issues.  It can't always find the problem.
    Good luck.

    Try resetting the SMC, it may take 2-3 attempts. Please post back with the results. If you're not sure how please follow the instructions in Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

  • Well-used iMac suddenly turning off

    My not-so-new 20" iMac is turning off on me. I have used this computer, many hours a day, for several years now. For the past 20 months, I've lived in an apartment with old outlets that haven't been replaced, and don't have great contact with the electrical plugs. I've been using a power strip, and the computer only turned off when someone knocked the plug out of the outlet or bumped "reset" on the power strip.
    Starting yesterday, my computer started turning itself off (apparent power failure) without anything getting bumped. I'm not seeing any changes in the lights around, me, either, so I don't think that power fluctuations are the proximate cause. I've fiddled with all of the pulgs, unplugged and replugged them, and the problem is getting worse: my computer is shutting off more often. I'm using my spouse's laptop to ask this question, because it's gotten to the point where my comptuer really isn't useable. I've gotten great advice from these forums before, and I'm looking forward to getting good advice this time.
    Could a power regulating power strip solve my problems? I'm guessing no, but should I do this in the future, to prevent damage to my computer? More importantly, what is likely wrong with my computer, and about how much would it cost for me to replace the part, or get it fixed at the Apple store? I did not purchase any extended warranties, so this computer is completely out of warranty.

    It's been a month since I first posted, and I've got more clues and details now. After I posted my question I realized that my computer is and has been on a surge protector (and the protector light is light), so on later reflection I don't think the problem is the steadines of the power.
    den.thed's suggestion seemed to work at first, although I think the longest my computer has gone without shutting down in the last month was about a week, and at this point resetting the SMC doesn't seem to be helping (not that I've turned the computer back on without unplugging it, so I haven't tested this precisely).
    I leave my computer on at night (sometimes I put it to sleep, sometimes it puts itself to sleep, but sometimes something happens and the computer doesn't put itself to sleep, or my cats step on the keyboard and wake it up), and it has not shut down at night. It only shuts down when I'm sitting in front of the computer, using it. This made me think I might be having a software problem, so I tried avoiding using specific programs, but I can't isolate a specific program that is always open or always being used when my computer shuts itself down. I think my computer has only shut down while I'm typing, but I'm not certain on that one. I'm using a logitech wireless keyboard (because I spilled water on and destroyed the original keyboard), and (because I only have the one keyboard at the moment) I haven't tried using another keyboard.
    Last night I had the realization that the times my computer was going longer without shutting down was when I'd unplugged my backup HD running Time Machine (because of the limited number of USB connections on the computer).  I am not certain if my computer has ever shut itself down with the external HD attached. I have had successful saves to Time Machine on my external HD while dealing with this problem.
    But these two clues: maybe shutting down only when external HD is plugged in, and definitely only shutting down when when I'm sitting at the computer, actively using it, don't seem to me to point to the same problem.

  • My imac keeps turning off and restarting by itself

    My iMac keeps turning off and restarting by itself.  Any ideas why and how to fix it?  Thanks.

  • IMac suddenly turned off

    Hi,
    I was working on a word document and my iMac just suddenly turned off and cannot be turned back on.
    I have tried SMC reset but no luck.  Can someone please help?
    Thanks.

    Try plugging into another outlet it may be the outlet you are using. Does it make any sound at all or have any video.
    Finally complete your profile, you will not get help without giving us any clues. The profile is there for a reason,   your post is like says "my car is broken what is wrong?"

  • IMac G5 turns off by itself, hard to turn back on...

    I purchased my iMac in 2004 - so it looks like I'm past Apples extended "problem parts" warranty. At one point, I had to replace the midplane board, which Apple sent me and I did myself. No biggie - I've built a number of PCs myself.
    OK, so if I walk away from the iMac while it's running, it will shut off after a short period of time. It doesn't go to sleep - it just shuts completely off. If I keep it busy doing something (running iTunes music or something), it will run all night with o problem.
    Once it's off, it takes any number of tries - two or three, to 20 or 30 sometimes, of hitting the power button to get it to turn on. Once it's on, it's fine again. I read somewhere that there were some bad capacitors in a number of units, but thought the midplane replacement probably took care of that.
    So, I'm probably looking at a bad power supply? Would that be the consensus? Is there another component I need to consider replacing as well?
    Don't mind trying to replace this myself as well - what would be considered the best place to order a replacement?

    You can find a power supply [here|http://www.welovemacs.com/6613350.html], but I would first look at your Console at the time the machine shut off to see whether it notes "maximum temp exceeded for more than 30 seconds" to make sure it a power problem, although I'm puzzled as to why it doesn't turn off when stressed. Also, take a look at the caps on the motherboard and see if they are swollen or oozing.

  • Fan running after iMac is turned off

    After I turn off or put to sleep my 3 day old 25.5 " imac, the fan comes on and runs at high speed. The only way to stop it is to turn the power off on the wall plug

  • Imac Wont Turn Off

    Over the last few weeks my Imac will not turn off. When I shut it down it clears the desktop and then just leaves the wallpaper displayed, but never turns off. It eventually goes into sleep mode, but to turn it off I have to manually push the power button.

    Do you have something hanging? Sometimes my browser will interfere. Do you get any kind of message?
    In any case, try resetting your PRAM and see if that helps.

  • IMac display turning off again 10 seconds after system wake

    Ever since I've updated my 27" Late 2009 iMac to Lion, I'm observing a strange behavior when waking the machine from sleep:
    It wakes up normally, spinning up the harddrive, turning on the display and responding to input just fine.
    Then roughly 10 seconds after the wake, the display suddenly falls asleep (turning off) but the machine itself stays awake
    I can get the display back on without issue by clicking the trackpad.
    This consistently happens when I wake up the iMac.
    I usually put it to sleep using the Cmd-Alt-Eject keyboard shortcut. Wake on network is on, so it will have been through a few RTC wake cycles by the time I wake it up from the keyboard.
    Is anybody else observing this behavior?

    Still happens every day after updating to 10.7.3
    Is nobody else seeing this behavior?

  • IMac display turns off but computer doesn't sleep.

    After upgrading to Mavericks I've noticed a problem where my iMac display will turn off but the computer will never enter into actuall sleep mode, I know this because I can constantly hear the fan humming. I have the Energy Saver settings set to sleep the display after 10 minutes and sleep the computer after 15 minutes. However even well after 15 minutes of inactivity (and the display long having turned off) I can still hear that the computer is not sleeping due to the fans still being on.
    I decided the troubleshoot the problem using a Terminal command and I was able to narrow it down to single potential cause. According to "PreventUserIdleSystemSleep" the problem stems from a "URLConnection in progress" issue. How does one go about determining what is causing the URL Connection so I can kill the prompt and see if that solves the sleeping issue?
    Here's a screen shot of the Terminal output:
    Also, if I choose "sleep" from the Apple Menu, the iMac will go to sleep as normal (fans and harddrive sleep).

  • Imac monitor turns off but the imac continues to operate

    I have problem with my imac 27 "i5 2.7 ghz 4gb of ram with video card AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB bought used not under warranty.
    In practice, for the first 2 days no problem but then suddenly began to fade with the monitor frequency is not standardized.
    I am sure that is not to shut down the mac because the mac but the monitor continues to make sounds when you turn off.
    I've tried both to reset the PRAM is to initialize it with os x 10.8 (2 times with updates) and also installing windows 8 but nothing for the first few days but then here goes the problem recur please help me.

    Sound like a hardware issue but this is tough to tell. Run Apple's Hardware Test in extended mode at least 2-3 times. If errors appear you have confirmed a hardware issue and the machine needs to go in for service.

  • IMac display turns off automatically.

    Hi everyone!
    I have a problem with my iMac. The display automatically turns off while using the computer and I can't continue using it without forcing it going to sleep. The display turns off when the screen brightness is NOT at maximum level. If I reduce the brightness, the screen turns off. If the display it's at the maximum level, no problem, works perfect. No matter if the computer is just turned on from a cold start or if it's running since hours with high temperatures. In System Preferences there's only one option selected in the Enegy Saver section (Allow power button to sleep the computer).
    Any ideas?  It's really annoying working with this problem (especially at night with the brightness at maximum).
    Hope somebody can help me!
    (Sorry for my english).

  • IMac screen turns off randomly?

    Hello
    I'm new to this, so sorry if I haven't posted this in the right place or anything
    Basically, my iMac screen just turns off randomly, like once a week. It only happens when I come off sleep/screensaver like 2 minutes after, then I have to press the iMac button
    Anyone else have this problem, or know how I can fix it?
    Thanks!

    Hello Heather & welcome to he forums!
    You did pretty good for the first time... & this is a pretty friendly place.
    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the restart right after that for clues.
