IMAC start issues: black screen and required to enter EXIT.

At iMAC start I get black screen with Root directory and requested to enter EXIT to continue. This happens very frequently. Can somebody help me to solve this issue? Thanks

I would suggest booting from the Recovery partition, choosing Disk Utilities, then running Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.  See if that clears this issue.
Others may have suggestions, but if the above doesn't work you may need to reinstall Mountain Lion...again, from the Recovery partition.

  • IMac 2007 20'' black screen and fan loud

    Hi, I have a imac from 2007 and i got it from an other person that said to me that the problem was the rams, and i got the rams and the screen continues black and the fans loud.
    Thank you.

    Hello brunofig132,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your iMac is booting to a black screen and loud fans. The following article provides steps to troubleshoot the startup process for your iMac. It should give you an indication of what might be causing the problem.

  • IMac G5 (iSight) Black Screen and Won't Start...HELP!

    Hi,
    I have an iMac G5 (iSight) PPC, 2005, model 1145.  All was running well until a couple of weeks ago (see post/thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/16191999#16191999), when I had an issue with a grey screen, no start, and spinning wheel.  Through a series of replies, it was determined that I probably had a corrupt file in the OS (10.5.8).  I did an Archive and Install of the OS and all was running very smoothly....until....NOW!!!!!!!
    At this point, I cannot start up at all.  When I turn on the computer, I get a 'light', but in a few moments, the fan gets loud, stays loud, and the screen is just black.
    I tried to start up from my Leopard Disk, hoping I could run the utility....but that didn't work....AND NOW I've the install disk stuck in the drive!!!!!
    I also thought it might just be some bad RAM, so I took that out and tried to start up again, but that didn't work either.
    At this point, I'm clueless and hope that someone might be able to offer some good advice.
    Thanks,

    Just repaired my iMac G5 with complete boot failure, it all came down to capacitors, there was an industry wide use of sub standard/sub spec capacitors at the time the imac G5 was manufactured, due to a manufacturer using a capacitor recipe missing one ingredient, This caused the imac G5's to fail at a much faster rate than they should have done, I had to replace half the capacitors in the power supply and 5 of the higher rated capacitors nearest the power supplies internal vent onto the logic board once this repair was affected, my machine worked perfectly.
    take the cover of the back of you imac G5 and see whether your imac version has some led diagnostic lights and check whether the power diagnostic led light lights up properly when started, there are tutorials for this on the web also a light there that indicates whether gpu is communicating with the display properly. all led internal green lights should light up, apart from the right hand one of the four.
    with your dark screen and sleep light on symptoms it seems quite likely a surface mount BGA graphics chip failure, but to be honest it could also be a capacitor related issue, if your not into stripping the machine down and soldering capacitors then the machine for you is probably a right off, just try a pram reset boot before giving up, I had similar sleep light no boot scenario on a macbook pro, and a full stripdown got it booting again.
    the power supply in the imac G5(als version at least) gets very hot and has no fan of its own and is dependant on the one internal left hand open motherboard fan for its cooling in my opinion it gets too hot, there is also no temp sensor for the power supply to give you an indicator as to how hot its getting, I feel the the heat venting from the overheating power supply internally is what cooked the capacitors nearest it, this is a flaw in the design of this machine. One way to reduce this issue is to perhaps use some kind of extra fan control software to boost the based speed of motherboard fan, whilst at the same time placing and extra entry quality pc fan thin filter foam on intake underneath to prevent any extra dust intake because of the fan speed increase so as to protect the machine from clogging with extra dust and heating the power supply further

  • 20" imac gets random black screen and wont wake up.

    O.K. this imac randomly goes to a black screen while your using it. It looks like it's asleep accept the light in the front doesn't pulse and it wont wake up.
    If I hit the power button to put it to sleep I can then wake it up.
    I tried resetting the SMU but have had no luck (not sure if it's even resetting seeing the date and time are still good) not sure why seeing resetting the SMU is a very simple processes.
    It's a 20" intel imac 2GHz duo with system 10.4.11 (early 2006)
    I was going to reinstall 10.4.11 to see if that helps and wanted to see if anyone else knows what to do. Its very random and seems to be getting worse, sometimes as soon as I get it fixed it goes black again. It usually only takes 15-30min after start up and doesn't matter if your using it or not.

    Hi all,
    my first mac ever was also an Early 2006 20" iMac and it had the same symptons as yours late last year.
    Tried all I could think of and then took it to an Apple Dealer here in Hamburg.
    Turned it was the Power Supply Unit (both of them) and a repair (out of Applecare obviously) would have been in the range of about 500 Euros (material plus manhours).
    So I decided to not get it repaired.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • IMac, update causing black screen and randomly powers off...?

    I've seen many comment on this with few solutions.  It had never occurred until yesterday afternoon after the latest security update for Mavericks, 2014-005 v.1, was loaded and the system was rebooted.  After that moment the mac has been unusable.  It will start and after user log on, will black screen, sometimes still running and other times instantly powered off.  I have followed resetting the PRAM, and SMC procedures with no change and have booted into safe mode in order to examine the system and it is just as unstable there.  The times I have gotten it booted and running, attempting to access an earlier Time Machine backup, but before I can start reload it goes black.  The same goes while trying to check the sleep mode and security settings.  Unless this is an amazing coincidence, I believe the latest update has caused this problem and has for others as I have seen on many conversations.  Can this be uninstalled or does the drive need to get wiped and then reload from the Time Machine?
    Thanks.
    iMac,  A1311  21.5"  Mavericks 10.9.5  Update 2014-005 v.1

    Well, initial call into Apple Care and one answer.  "We have no idea what it is, we can get you an appointment at a Genius Bar in 4 days!"  4 days?!  Seriously?  At least they were kind enough to only put me on hold for 30 minutes, AND then transferred me to a "Sr. Care Specialist" who basically blew smoke up my arse only to tell me the same thing... why transfer me at all?

  • IMac display issues: black icons and folders, doubled up files in finder windows, programs won't update

    HELP!
    I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010.  From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it.  After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy.  I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
    1.     90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
            (This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
    2.     Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
    3.     Files and photos double up when in Finder.  When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
            photos.
    4.     Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
    5.     Programs won't update.  They will download onto my iMac but won't update.  Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
            Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns.  Skype won't open just gives a failure
            report.
    6.     10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to               clear but then all the above problems continue.
    7.     Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
    8.     Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
    9.     Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
    10.   Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
    I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something.  Or I have something malicious on my computer.
    I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive.  A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
    And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
    Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
    Thanks so much.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    *Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
    Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
    Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
    The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.

  • My Air won't start. Black screen and no lights on keyboard!

    I've been in Hawaii for a week, coming from Utah, so not sure if humidity had anything to do with this or not?  But my MacBook Air had been working fine. I went to turn it on last night and nothing. So I thought battery was dead. Plugged in power cord and it started charging. Waited a few min and tried to start, nothing. Waited 30 min, nothing. Unplugged cord and tried. Nothing. This morning cord light stays green, indicating full battery, but still nothing. It has been sitting on a desk for two days and hasn't been touched. Wasn't able to afford insurance when I forked out $1400 for this guy. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

    In such a case, diagnosis is extremely limited, since charger indicates a full charge on the LiPo cells, and you get no powerup sounds then the monitor is eliminated,
    .....inside the Air it is extremely simple...battery cells a logic board and speakers, fan, and SSD.   Very likely you logic board is dead.
    Contact Apple for diagnosis/ repair.

  • IMac boots to a black screen and shows blinking square cursor on top left

    iMac boots to black screen and then shows flashing white square in the top left of the screen. After a few seconds an error message - i assume appears.
    disc0s2 oxe0030005 undefined appears.
    Does anyone know what this is?
    Can view HDD using firewire
    Can load diagnostic disc and run diagnostics with no errors

    The disc0s2 should be your OS X boot volume. Have you tried starting from the Install DVD1? Start from the DVD and when you get to the OS X installer go to Disk Utility in the Utilities menu and select First Aid. Choose the top drive in the left hand column and repair. Repair as many times as necessary until no more repairs are reported. Quit Disk Utility. Then go to Startup Disk in the Utilities menu and choose the OS x volume on your Mac and restart.
    Let us know what happens.

  • HT201177 cant turn on my imac just a black screen which i never shut down to begin with

    help i walked in to find my imac with a black screen and i cant turn it back on has this happened to anyone else? how do i get it back on

    You're sure the electrical socket it's attached to has power? That socket isn't controlled by a wall switch, which is off? If the socket is good, see this Apple note for systems that won't turn on.

  • After errors with disk partition, I removed Windows from my iMac. Now when I start my computer it goes into a black screen and not straight into the Mac area like it used to, unless I hold Alt straight away to give me the option.  Any help?

    Hi,
    Sorry, I'm new to the community, so apologies if I'm repeating myself.
    OK, so I tried to install Windows Vista onto my iMac with the disk partition.  Everything was going fine and it wasn't until last minute, when it was installed that an error came up saying that this can only be done with Windows 7.  After this error, I couldn't access any errors of my iMac and when I shut down and restarted my computer, it automatically logged into Windows.
    So after a panic, I rang Apple Care and the lady helped me log into my apple area, delete Windows from my iMac, and all was restored.
    However, now when I shut down my computer and boot it back up, I think my iMac is trying to log into Windows areas that no longer exist.  It loads up a black screen and doesn't move from there.  To log into my Apple area, I have to do the whole process of holding Alt immediately after I switch the power on and access the Mac drive and log in that way.
    It's beginning to become a real pain and I'm paranoid this process is going to damage my computer.  Any advice on how to restore logging-in back to it's former glory when I first purchased it?
    Thanks

    Solved it.  Thank you very much for that!

  • Screen problems - black screen and lock-up (plus HDMI issues)

    Hi, I'm not sure if these are related to the same fundamental issue, but they are both serious problems that need resolution.
    I have a new mid-2012 MBPretina.  I am on all the latest updates (10.8.2).
    The first problem is the most recent, and the most serious problem.  Since I updated the Java a couple of days ago I've been experiencing random black screens and lock-ups.  Essentially, what happens is that sometimes when I perform an action (opening an app, clicking a link on a webpage, performing other kinds of in-app actions, etc.) the computer screen will go black.  About half the time I can, through my own memory, try keyboard combinations to quit or force quit the most recently used app (the one where the action was just performed), and I will get some glimpse of the underlying apps, while the menubar and other areas will remain black until I move a window on top of the black space.  Sometimes no key combinations work and I am forced to perform a hard restart with the power button.  This is a serious issue, obviously, since I will lose current work/progress in my apps.  I'm not sure if this is because of the new Java update, or has to do with something else, but it started happening shortly thereafter, over the last 2 days.  I work most of my waking day on my laptop, and this "black screen of death" has happened about 5 or 6 times a day.
    The second problem I have been experiencing since I starting using my MBPr with external HDMI displays in August/September.  The problem is that I will plug the MBPr into an HDMI display, the screen will temporaliy go black, and then bring me to the login screen (as if it's crashing, albeit softly).  This happens about 1 out of 4 times nowadays.
    How can I fix these problems, especially the first?

    UPDATE:
    Clearly there's a problem because a third of the way through a clean reinstallation from scratch it black screened again. Hmmmm.
    Now this is not good. Problem is I can't rule out potential updates from Apple that might have caused this either.
    The search for solutions continues.

  • I installed Mountain Lion and now some times when I start my mac it look with a black screen and white text. I'm really worry about it, can somebody help me?

    I installed Mountain Lion in my IMac and now, some times, when I start up my mac it looks with a black screen and white text. I'm really worry about it, can somebody help me?

    Don't worry, this is probably just Verbose Mode. It's perfectly harmless.  If you're not specifically invoking it, than it's probably down to an unwanted setting in NVRAM.  See this article on resetting NVRAM if it continues to bother you.

  • PopcornTime starts with a black screen and does not load

    I installed PopcornTime from the AUR and it does not seem to load. When I launch the application, it simply loads a black screen and does not move from there.  When I launch the application from the terminal, I get this output.
