My iMac G5 won't start up.

My iMac G5 won't start up, and I don't know why. Before I had this problem, my iMac was working fine, but slower than my expectations. So, I decided to reinstall Mac OS with the erase and install option, and the installation went ok. When I turn on my iMac, I usually see a brief glimpse of a light gray screen, which changes to the white screen, and then shows the Apple logo and the spinning indicator. Now however, whenever I press the power button of my iMac, it doesn't get past the light gray screen. I hear a chime, and it changes to the light gray screen, but it never gets to the white screen with the Apple logo and the spinning indicator. If I leave the computer on at the gray screen, after a while, the fans start to spin at full speed. I didn't know what to do, so I tried to turn it on while pressing option. It kept searching for my operating system, but it never found anything, the watch indicator kept spinning and spinning and never stopped. So next, I tried to reinstall my operating system with the archive and install method. It worked, but after my computer went to sleep, it got frozen when I woke it up and the colored disk kept spinning at the password request screen (requests password when I inturrupt the screensaver or sleep).
My questions are:
1. What is the problem, and what can I do to solve it?
2. Could my computer be affected with the problem at: http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/ (my serial number is in the range that Apple said that is effected)
3. I have not reset the SMU. Should I try that?
Thanks!

Here's what I did. (bold text represents what the computer did after what I did)
1) I opened the back cover.
2) I plugged in the power cord.
The first green light went ON
3) I pushed the top internal button (internal power button).
Lights 2 and 3 went ON.
4) Even though the lights went on, which means that everything is fine, I still pressed the bottom internal button (reset SMU)
The computer stopped everything. Fans stopped, the computer turned off, etc.
5) I don't know if I did it right, so I put the back cover back on my iMac, and pressed the external Power Button.
The computer still has the same problem.
What should I do? First call Apple Care and then take my Mac to the Apple Store to repair?
Thanks again!

IMac just won't start up!

I'm running out of ideas here, fellas.
My first-generation iMac G5 won't start up. I turn it on and it only goes up to the screen with the gray Apple logo. It never gets to the point of the spinning gear. After a while, the fan makes a constant loud sound.
I have read similar posts but I have a more complicated situation: even before this start-up problem, my iMac's internal optical drive had died out, so I've been using an external one.
So far I've done the following (with peripherals removed):
Reset PRAM
Reset SMU
I've also tried doing the following with the external drive:
Hardware Test
Run Mac OS X Install CD (Both original and Tiger)
Nothing going, and my warranty's out.
Help?

Might be worth trying a new PRAM battery, alternativeman. It is a CR2032 lithum button battery - used in many calculators, remote controls, etc etc and available from any electronics part store (and many other places too) for a couple of dollars (or from an Apple dealer for about $50).
Very easy to replace on this model. See http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/imacG5allModelsBackupBattery.pdf

IMac 20" won't start. l led 1 is on, but led2 flashes, led 3 off. Why?

My wife's original iMac 20" suddenly today went fans full on. She turned it off by holding the on/off button for some time. Now it won't start up. With the back off led 1 if on, and led 2 is flashing. I've found reference to led 2 off and led 2 on, but not flashing. I've reset the SMU several times and the led went off, but after several seconds started flashing again. Can anyone suggest why?

It's likely that your power supply has failed, but ake sure that there is no dust clogging the fans or vents.

IMac G5 won't start up

I have an iMac G5 (iSight) 20" that won't start up. Press the power button, the power light comes on, but no startup chord, screen stays black. I can hear a quiet humming sound if I put my ear to the case, either the fan or the hard disk spinning (but no access sounds, if it's the disk). After about a minute the fan comes on high and loud. That's it.
I've tried (twice) resetting the System Management Unit (SMU), as described in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733, but that hasn't helped.
I tried resetting the PRAM (hold down opt-cmd-P-R and press power button): Fan comes on high immediately, it makes three beeps (not the startup chord), and fan continues while the power light blinks three times - pause - blink three times - etc.
Anyone have any thoughts?

+I live in San Diego, Ca and that week it had been pretty hot, perhaps it over heated.+
It's possible; I work mostly with portables, so don't have much experience with this model, but it does have a lot of parts stuffed into that flat case, and I get a feeling it could overheat. The one I'm working with I noted the fan intake on the back was covered with crud, which can't be good; it's not mine and I haven't been to where it was, but apparently there was a lot of dirt around, and a lot of dirt inside it now.
+I was furious at Apple for selling me an iMac that would break after only 1+ year of use.+
All technological products fail eventually. Some fail early, some fail later. Apple warrants Macs for a year, which is about normal in the industry. Past the first year, you can either gamble that you'll be among the +great majority+ whose Macs last five years or more, or you can buy AppleCare (which I've never done). You don't even have to buy your AppleCare from Apple; if you shop around a bit you can save 20% or more.
+I know that the logic board alone is around $600-$800, not including the labor. I could buy another computer, not an Apple, but a pc with that amount of money.+
As a 20 year Mac user, with 15 years as an independent Mac support guy, I confess I'm just a little tired of the common complaints about the cost of Macs. Macs are not for everyone, no. If a $600-$800 PC would have satisfied your needs (and wants), that's what you should have bought in the first place. It's like going into a Mercedes showroom and complaining to the sales guy that you could buy a Chevy for a fraction of the price. You're just wasting everyone's time.
Actually, a look at eBay shows this model now selling for ca. $600-$800. That's how the computer world goes.
You're lucky to be in California, where there are a lot of independent Mac repair providers. (I'm in New Mexico, which is less convenient.) For a computer out of warranty that's what I usually recommend, using refurbished parts rather than the expensive new parts from Apple. For instance, I've done a lot of business in past years with DT&T Service, who will replace a logic board in an iMac G5 iSight for $425-$495 + shipping:

IMac Help - won't start up in OSX, starts to text...

I was wiping my hard drive so that I could give away my old 20" white iMac G5. It worked fine the first time using the OSX Installation disk, but someone told me I should do it several times to be sure to remove all the data in the binary. So I did it a second time and that worked fine too. I decided to do it a third time so that I could put the new person's info onto the computer and I got a disk error during the re-install. It asked me if I wanted to "try again" so I clicked yes, but something bad must have happened...
Now the computer won't start up in OSX and it won't boot from the disk (even if I hold down the C key). When it starts up, first I get a gray screen with the apple, then I have a quick flask of a tiny file folder with a question mark, then a quick flask of the same file folder but this time with the Mac face graphic, then the screen goes black and there is a bunch of white text. I can post the text if it will help - at the very end it says something like: localhost:/ root#
I tried calling apple and they just told me to turn off the mouse and keyboard and try again - didn't work. I have tried to boot in safe mode, I have tried to reboot from the start up disk (it just ejects the disk), I have tried to reset the PRAM, nothing is working. I do not have any peripherals other than the mouse and the keyboard (I had to go out and buy a new wired keyboard today just to push the C button to try to start up from disk since the wireless keyboard wasn't being recognized).
I have searched all the support docs and nothing seems to work or be just right. I am not an idiot, so if I need to type in a bunch of code that would be fine, just tell me what to do! Otherwise, I am hauling this beast into the so-called Genius Bar.
Please help!

So hooked the iMac up to my MacBookPro as a firewire target disk and ran a disk utility on it overnight. It didn't fix the problem completely, but it didn't get worse. Now, instead of the black screen with white programming text, I get a gray screen with a flashing question mark (a file folder that flashes between the mac face and a question mark) this time it just keeps flashing (unlike before where it only appeared once).
I have tried resetting the PRAM, the NVRAM, and I have tried resetting the SMU (thanks for the advice, Barry, I was hopeful about that one!) but nothing is working. It won't let me start from a disk, even though I have checked the disk in another computer and it works fine. I am thinking that the computer has lost the ability to recognize the disk drive.
Is there any way to re-install the operating system remotely (via my MacBookPro or anything else)?
Thanks again for any advice!

How do you eject a CD stuck in the drive from an imac that won't start?

My Imac won't start. Its stuck on the Apple screen with the little gear going around. Other discussion have suggesting trying to boot directly from the install disc, which I want to try but can't because when it crashed there was a DVD in the optical drive and I now cannot remove it.
Any suggestion on how to remove it as a first step to fixing the start up screen issue!

Here is a collection of ways to eject a stuck CD/DVD from your Mac.

4th gen. iPod touch suddenly won't start up again?

Hey all, hopefully someone can help me out.
My iPod was working perfectly up until an hour ago, and for some reason won't start up again. I've looked at the various tips, holding the power button for 10 seconds, but it still won't start up. Help would be greatly appreciated!
-Mike

I have the same problem. I bought it 5 months ago, and just used it when I was at home. I take very good care of it. No accidental damage or misuse. But it suddenly can not start up. So I sent my ipod touch to Apple store. To my disappointed, they can not do anything.They do not want to take their responsibility.
Below is the email they sent to me.
Thank you for choosing AppleCare Service.
Your IPOD TOUCH (4TH GENERATION) has been inspected by Apple technicians, who have determined that it has been subjected to accidental damage or misuse, which is not covered by the warranty, the AppleCare Protection Plan, or other Apple repair program. Therefore your original product is being returned to you unrepaired
So ridiculous and irresponsible
Hope someone can help me.

Some non-Apple applications suddenly won't start.

I've done disk permission repairs, as well as cleared the cache. The problem persists in other logins. The apps don't quit abnormally, they simply bounce once in the dock, then go away.

Lion --
Check that user's Application folder.
Do they have another Office on there?
Either an older version, or the Office Test Drive?

My iMac G3 won't start up

I have this problem with my iMac G3 computer as in it won't start up as normally as it has been.
Actually to be more precise, when you turn it on, it just shows a folder with a the smiley iMac face and a question mark flashing at short intervals.
I have tried installing using a bootable Mac OS X cd but nothing happens.Please help

Hey brayo and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
it just shows a folder with a the smiley iMac face and a question mark flashing at short intervals.
Yes that's the classic symptom of a Mac not able to find a viable operating system. Usually it means your hard drive is dead/corrupted.
I have tried installing using a bootable Mac OS X cd but nothing happens.
Well would this be a bootable CD with an operating system on it appropriate to the iMac? A retail installer or the original system disks?

My iMac G5 won't start - please help?

I don't get a chance to get near it very often, but my wife & kids say it has been really slow recently and particularly getting stuck in Microsoft Word. Then it froze. Now it won't start-up - get to the grey screen & the apple logo and the pin-wheel below goes round & round but nothing further happens. Then the fan starts spinning really loudly (indefinitely) so I switch it off & try again - same outcome. I have reset the SMU & PRAM, and run disk utility (says hardware all fine), but couldn't get it to archive & install.
Worst of all, I haven't backed up photos & quite a lot of work for some months
Any advice gratefully received>
Will

Welcome Will - try putting it in Target Disk Mode and see if you can pull the data off that way. Use Disk Utility from the Host machine to repair your drive, or if you can get hold of DiskWarior or TechtoolPro, use one of them to repair the machine. It does sound, though, as if your power supply unit is failing which, being a hardware problem, nothing can fix except replacing it (and likely the logic board).

Photoshop Elements 4 suddenly won't start up

I last used Elements on 7th July. It was fine. Since 21st july, it won't start - goes through all the brushes loading etc but then quits.
I have:
Removed all Adobe programmes, prefs etc using AppZapper
Cleaned up using Adobe's maccs3clean script
Repaired disk permissions (a huge long list there, why?)
Re-installed Elements 4.0 between some of these stages.
No luck! It still crashes at the same point. Could I try reverting to an earlier system state via TimeCapsule, if so how do I do that?
Or, re-install the OS (my Leopard version would be quite old now) and do a total update?
Advice very welcome,

Macbook Pro working fine then, after shutting lid, suddenly won't start up

I've been working on my Macbook Pro with no problems. I've been carrying it around with me today, never turning it off but, obviously, closing it. Then plugging in again and continuing with no problems at all. This evening I was working on it, again all fine, when I shut lid whilst it was still on (as I always do) but when I opened it again the screen is black and it won't start up again. It seems like it's trying to start (the light keeps flashing and the fan makes sounds) but then it doesn't start. The power adaptor light is green. I've tried plugging in to different sockets. I've tried starting up without the battery, and also taking the battery out and putting it in again. What could be wrong and what should I do? Really urgently need help!
Many thanks in advance if you're able to help,
Lisa
Ps: I've written that my OS is X10.5 but I can't remember what it is really and because I can't turn my computer on I can't check. It was bought early 2008 and I haven't updated the OS since then...

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your early 2008 MacBook Pro may have developed this problem:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
You'll need to take it in to an Apple Store to be tested--Apple has a special test they can run to diagnose this problem. If this is what is wrong, you will get a free repair.
Your Mac originally shipped with Leopard, which is 10.5, and if you haven't upgraded the OS, that is what you have.
Good luck!

Shake suddenly won't start

Hi there!
I'm new to these boards, and to Shake, but I've been learning quite a bit over the last few weeks. Unfortunately, I've just run into a bit of a snag while working on some composites for a small project that I'm working on. When I click on the Shake icon in the dock, or in my applications folder, it just won't start. It does, however, start if I go through terminal - which is confusing to me.
Anyway, I had been adding some freeware macros to Shake that I recently got from highend3d.com, and after figuring out where the files should go, and getting the first one to work fine, this little issue cropped up. I was hoping that someone might have a brilliant answer before I go through the process of uninstall/reinstall.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot!
Rob

Ahh, okay...sorry...
I opened Console, and then clicked on the Shake icon, and here is the message that Console displayed:
7/30/08 6:23:20 PM [0x0-0x69069].com.apple.shake[597] error: unknown function -psn0430185
7/30/08 6:23:20 PM com.apple.launchd[84] ([0x0-0x69069].com.apple.shake[597]) Exited with exit code: 1
I really have no idea what that means...but maybe you or someone else here does? Thanks again for the help!

Firefox suddenly won't start. I open it on my Mac, I see the Apple icon and Firefox where a menu bar should be, but that's it. My only option is to Force Quit. Firefox windows won't open at all. Any advice?

As you can read above, that's it. The only thing I can think of is that I did a Microsoft update and then my Firefox stopped working. It won't start up. Windows and tabs won't open. It's completely unresponsive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled new and old Firefox, yet I have the same problem.
