M y imac free all the time
it freezes at start up
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Is it safe to leave my imac (late '09 model) on all the time? I restart it when I update it and I turn it off when I'm gone for more than a day....
I wonder how many watts are used by the iPhone charger to charge it completely. Probably 10W per 2 hrs, so altogether 20W. And since most of us charge them daily, the iMac in sleep uses 34W a day, so only 14W more
The same people that tell us not to leave computers on standby/sleep are the same people that claim the fluorescent bulbs are ecological and we should ditch the tungsten lightbulbs, but they don't mention that fluorescent bulbs have mercury vapor inside which is extremely dangerous and the poor people of China have to dig out mercury ores and suffer cancer. They also don't mention how those bulbs are very nonlinear in their energy usage so they introduce noise in your home grid and that the fluorescent bulb light also induces depression because of limited spectrum. -
i have i mac and still have apple care series : W8602P4TU2P

1. Run Repair Permissions from the install disk.
2. Run Hardware Test from the install disk.
3. Try creating another user account and see if the problem continues.
3. Do a clean install of the system software if steps 1 & 2 find nothing.

Language of Imac switches all the time
In region and language in system preferences I've chosen English. Still it switches between English and Dutch all the time.
What's wrong? I've set it to English=applications and next time it is "programma's".It's definitely a bug, was also pretty common in Mavericks. For another example that was a bit harder to fix, see
Finder menu in two languages -
Lion 10.7.2 iMac freezing all the time
Hi, I am running a 24" 2008 Imac as follows:
3.06GHz Intel Core 1 Duo
4GB 800Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce 800 GS 512MB
I had no problems with Snow Leopard, or the original install of Lion, and have recently updated to 10.7.2. All software updates are up to date.
Since last Friday, the iMac is constantly suffering from freezing, sometimes 6 or 7 times in an hour, making it virtually unusable. It can stay up for an hour or so, but sometimes only minutes. Once it has crashed once, subsequent crashes seem more frequent.
I took it to the local apple store last week, it stayed up for a whole hour and a half, whilst they ran tests and checks and found nothing wrong with it! As soon as I got it home and connected it up, it started crashing again.
I have eliminated all my local peripherals (bluetooth keyboard, mouse, trackpad, timemachine, LAN etc) by disconnecting them all one at a time, but it still crashes.
I have verified and repaired disk permissions, and also restored to a time macine backup from 5 days before it started crashing, but still have the same problem.
The iMac seems to work fine in safe mode (as I type this).
From various reading I have done, Lion freezing seems to be a common issue but I can't seem to find a thread with exactly the same issues as mine or with any firm suggestions for a resolution. Basically, the system becomes unresponsive (keyboard, mouse etc) then comes back to life for a few seconds before the screen just going completely blank, and then requires a hardware on/off reboot.
It crashes most repeatably when using video e.g. Youtube, but also crashes in Safari,Chrome,Aperture and Itunes. It does seem that it may be video related with the nvidia card, as the error message I always get before the system panic is as below:
28/12/2011 14:41:28.000 kernel: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception! exception type = 0x8 = Fifo: Watchdog Timeout Error

I tried to install the previous version of Lion, but it wont let me as I have a later version installed. Therefore, I am thinking of going back to snow leopard. Is it ok to do this from the original install DVD, then apply the software updates, or is this likely to cause more problems installing it over Lion? If I do this, will I still be able to re-install Lion at a later date, and would the itunes store remember that I had already paid (I presume so if this is recorded against my apple id?)
Any help, however small, would be appreciated as it is very frustrating after having a reliable system for the last three years!Your points match mine pretty well,though here are some thoughts:
1. I thought about this theory myself this morning (iTunes possibly causing more issues), but I haven't been able to verify it.
2. When I set up a new user it seemed better for a while, but the issue croppped back up. Yesterday I fully wiped the machine and reinstalled from scratch. I did not reimport my user from TimeMachine, but the problem has come back. My thinking was that I might have some really old software or prefs hanging around causing the issue. No dice.
3. This is my current theory of the issue, so my next step will be to pull the RAM from Crucial and see how the system behves. IF that doesn't eliminate the problem, I'll pull the factory installed RAM and replace it with the 3rd party RAM. The odd thing is how many people seem to have similar issues - I know two personally, and have seen several posts on forums. I think the most common point for this happening was the 10.7.2 update, which would point to software as the culprit.
4. That matches my experience.
My hope is that this will be repaired in the forthcoming 10.7.3 release (current production version is 10.7.2), but otuside of what I noted above, I'm at a loss. -
Since updating to OS X Mavericks, my iMac freezes multiple times per day. This never happend before. I happens in mail, safari, outlook, you name it. I can move my mouse, but I can't select or do anything until I power down and back on. Any idea's?

Thank you in advance!There are tests that can be done, but can prove to be unreliable:

Even though the RAM apparently meets the specs, it did for others on here that have had similar problems. The often-suggested fix is to return the RAM for a refund and get new modules from either Macsales or Crucial.
Taking out the new RAM and running with just the original modules should be a good indicator as to whether it is the new modules causing the problem.

my firefox 4 beta always freez when i close it and try to open this massage show Firefox is already running, but is not responding
Delete the processes. Press: CTRL, ALT, DEL at the same time. It opens your menu asking you different selections. Just click open task manager. Click the Processes tab and press F on ur keyboard. It goes directly to Firefox, you may also have to press M to go to Mozilla Firefox, depending on how it's worded on your programs. Click end process. Then just re-open. That is how you fix it that time. Use the links on the last post about hanging to fix Firefox and learn more about hanging.

AppleTV and iTunes without Leaving Computer On All The Time/NAS iTunes Server
I begrudge having to leave my iMac on all the time just so now and again I can play music, pictures and video from it through AppleTV. My iMac is 2 floors up from the AppleTV, and as there is no wake on LAN working (I can't get it to work if there is (I have Lion)) I don't want to go up there to turn the Mac on when I want to use AppleTV.
So I have read some articles about iTunes servers on NAS drives and wondered if that would be a good solution, anyone try them?
If I did have my iTunes library on a NAS drive with an iTunes server, when I start iTunes on my iMac will it then load the iTunes Library as it does now like if it was a local library? So I can still manage it in the same way as I do on my Mac.
I assume then I could have another computer use the same library on the NAS? (although wont do it the same time due to conflicts)
I have iCloud/Match so not so bothered about music as I can play from the Cloud (although its hit ad miss sometimes), but I have videos and pictures I stream to AppleTV so they are more important. I don't want to have a computer left on all the time so I can use AppleTV.
If this is not possible, then I am thinking of getting a Macbook for the lounge, but then I don't want to have to plug/unplug my external hard drives into it all the time, which I am likely to swap with the main iMac too.
Thanks a lotP.S. I only play music from iCloud as my iMac is not on. So if I can stream to AppleTV without having a computer on, then I would do that to be faster, work all the time, and save bandwidth.

I am getting ready to call and schedule to take imac in for service. Thought I would try on here first. It is shutting down all the time. Its like it just crashes.

Since I downloaded Maverick, I cannot find my External Hard Drive in the "Finder" area. I have to unplug all the time the hard drive to be recognized by my iMac. How can I fix this problem? Thank You.
Check Finderr->Preferences->General and ensure that HDs are selected for display. If so and they still don't, Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that does the trick.

Fan running all the time - 2011 21.5 inch i5 iMac
I purchased a new 2011 21.5-inch: 2.7GHz i5 on Friday just gone (2 days ago). All was going well with the new toy until this morning (Sunday).
Suddenly the CPU fan was running all the time and at full speed when the computer was not under any real load - very noisy.
I have reset the PRAM and SMC several times now. Within 30 seconds of each reboot the CPU fan reaches 4000 rpm and stays there.
When I run a hardware test I get the following error - Error 4SNS/1/C0000008:TS2p--124. This error is detected under both the quick and extended tests.
I do have to say that I am disappointed that 2 days out of the box it looks like I am return the iMac to the Authorised Reseller.
Can anyone confirm my understanding that:
a) the CPU fan running loud and hard (4000 rpm) when not under load is NOT normal
b) the Error code above relates to the logic board
c) next step is take it back to Apple or the authorized reseller from where it was purchased.
Cheers
Shaun4SNS/1/C0000008:TS2P--124
When U install the SSD under the optical drive(OD), the air from the OD fan that was supposed to swing under the OD to exit on the uppper vent has no where to go and hence swings across and exits mostly through the vent on the other side near the camera whereon lies a Skin sensor, which blows away/damages tricking the iMac to believe that the CPU is hot and the CPU fan starts to run at full speed of 4000rpm and the Apple hardware shows error 4SNS/1/C0000008:TS2P--124.
This skin sensor will then need to be replaced.
The CPU Fan cannot be controlled by any software.
The only options available are:
1.Change the primary HDD with a SSD.This will result in the HDD fan running at a higher speed as the SSD does not have any moving parts.The HDD fan sensor gets to believe that the HDD is hot since it does not get inputs from the SSD.Once you change to SSD you can use software to control the HDD or the Optical fans.
2.Change the Optical Disk drive with a "SSD in a Optical Drive(OD) Caddy".This will result in the optical drive fan running at a higher speed as the SSD does not have any moving parts.The OD fan sensor gets to believe that the OD is hot since it does not get inputs from the SSD.Once you change to SSD you can use software to control the HDD or the Optical fans.
Do not use the OWC or other dual drive kit that advice U to put a next SSD under the OD, unless ur iMac is under warranty or u have plenty of technical skills & luck.
