you should definitely get a decent UPS to protect your investment.
something like the APC Back-UPS ES 700 should suffice.

Imac won't turn on after anti virus software downloaded

The Avast antivirus software was downloaded onto my imac and now my imac won't turn on. What should I do?

Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
Read and follow all the steps.
If you find yourself at Step 6 determine if you can start the Mac in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
Remove the Avast garbage by using its uninstaller. Never install it, or anything like it, ever again.

IMac won't turn on. Only a clicking sound and a grey folder with flashing question mark.

iMac won't turn on. Only a clicking sound and a grey folder with flashing question mark.
Help.

Your iMac is actually turning ON as proven by the grey folder with the flashing question mark.
The flashing question mark indicates that your system is unable to find a bootable volume. The clicking sound that you hear is probably coming from your hard drive while it tries to recalibrate. I suspect your hard drive has failed.
What model imac do you have? If it's under warranty I suggest taking it in for service. Hopefully you've been maintaining a regular backup of your data as all users should. I lost my data once and it was a valuable lesson. I back up regularily now.
If your iMac came with install disks then you can boot from them, choose your language when asked, then pull down the Utilities menu to launch the Disk Utility application. The Disk Utility application will allow you to verify whether your hard drive has an issue. Usually a clicking sound, assuming it's coming from the hard drive, is a sign of a bad hard drive.
If your system has Lion installed then you can hold down the Command and R keys when you restart the system, then launch the Disk Utility application from the menu that appears.

IMac 2.0 or 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Can't decide if I should get the iMac 2.0GHz or 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Will the 2.0 handle Garageband, iMovie and iDVD or will I need to get the 2.4GHz. I do plan to add more memory either way. Will I still be happy with the 2.0 in 3 years? I'd appreciate any input.

I went for the 2.4GHz and I'm very glad I did, it just feels much...quicker. I run iMovie and iDVD all the time and they run very fast and as nice as I could ever hope for. The 2.0 version will handle everything and will handle it well, but the 2.4 version will handle it better...so to speak. Also I think that the 2.4GHz version will last you a little longer if your looking to get a few years out of your Mac (like I am doing as well).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

According to the Lion webpage, you would need to add more RAM to your computer and check to make sure you have about 7GB of free hard drive space.

If you want to clean up your hard drive some, here are some of my tips, also.
Hard drive getting full or near full?
Do a search for and downlaod and install OmniDisk Sweeper and OnyX.
Here are some of my tips for deleting or archiving data off of your internal hard
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save to disc, Flash drive/s or to ext. hard drive.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, Flash drive or ext. hard drive and/or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon and empty the Trash.
Also, if you save old downloaded .dmg application installer files, you can either archive and delete these or just delete the ones you think you'll never install, again.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be thinned out, moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc, Flash drive or ext. hard drive and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

Latest os for 20-inch iMac (Early 2006), 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo

How do I figure out what the latest OS that I can install on this system?

Thanks, Mark

i have an imac oxs version 10.5.8 intel core 2 duo can i upgrade and to what

If you're referring to the operating system, right now you can upgrade to any version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (10.6.7 is the most current as of today). Once you have Snow Leopard, you will then be able to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion when it's released, should you choose to do so.
Regards.

I have a macbook pro 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo 2010 13" aluminum with 8gb of memory and a 250gb hard drive running version 10.6.8 with safari 5.1.4. Safari will open up intermittently on its own. System preferences and the dock isn't set up to start safari. Can't figure out why this is happening. Had reloaded system from scratch and noticed this happening lately.

Remove iAntiVirus, then reboot, see if it's better.

How do I find out which battery is right for my mac pro 13 inch Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 late 2011 model

You could try ringing apple and seeing if they will give you a model number for the battery and then find one on google. Or you may even be able to order one from apple themselves.
They have support numbers for all over the world, in case you don't have the number you need, this is the support number website with all the numbers all over the world:

Is my MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 Mid-2010 32 Bit or 64 Bit ?

I need to know which M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB audio interface driver to install. They offer a 32 bit driver and a 64 bit driver for Snow Leopard 10.6.8. My MacBook Pro is an Intel Core i7 Mid 2010 machine.

If you mean does it boot into the 64-bit kernel automatically, the answer is "yes." Unless you want to switch to booting the 32-bit kernel then you will need the 64-bit driver. However, the fact that the driver works for Snow Leopard is no guarantee it will also work with Lion.

My Intel imac won't turn on

Hi! My intel Imac suddenly, and without apparent reason, shut down, and won't turn back on. When I press the power button, sometimes it makes a small noise, but then nothing happens. I have unplugged all the cables, and also tried resetting the SMC, and still nothing. I see some of you have had a similar problem, I don't know if any of you found out the reason why this happens. The computer is almost brand new (I've had it for 3 months) and up until now I had had no problem with it.
Thank you!
Nadia

You've (unfortunately) joined the growing list of users that are having problems with their iMac. Mine was purchased in September 2007 and I went through two bad ones before I finally kept one until last week.
Last week: the iMac totally died. It's at the Apple store getting the logic board and PSU replaced. Look through this forum and you'll see a number of other users with random reboots and dead iMacs.

Imac won't turn on and gives me 3 beeps

Ok - I am completely clueless here. My father's iMac - left overnight in sleep mode - won't turn back on. I held down the power button and waiting for over a minute, then turned it back on. It gave me 3 loud beeps and won't turn back on - the power button light flashes green and yellow. Anyone have any ideas what is going on and if this is fixable? HIs computer is an iMac G3 333mhz (I think)
Odd things that have been happening the past month or so: Safari browser gone out of whack - graphic / text loading funny - Switched to Firefox. MAIL started yesterday acting weird. Usually left open, but with the window closed - was unable to open window. When I selected new message window I would get a new window the folders wouldn't show, nor would the toolbox on top. Had to go to the menues and have them show. But then I closed this window, another window, without these feature would appear and I would not be able to close it at all. Finally had to delete the preferences and add the email accounts info again for it to work again properly.
I have no idea if this was telling me that something was starting to be wrong with the computer. I just took it that my father did something he wasn't suppose to do (He is really computer illiterate and can only do basic stuff on the computer when he's alone)
I hope he hasn't lost his computer completely - I don't want him having to use MINE (for the reasons above!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It may be marginal or defective memory that's causing the problem. This Forum is dedicated to the older CRT-screen iMacs, so I'd suggest that you post a new topic describing the problem in this Intel processor-based iMac Forum.

24" imac won't turn on

I was on the computer browsing the net, all of a sudden it turned off. I tried rebooting but it still won't turn on, only the light stays on. help

Sounds like a power shortage, where you aren't supplying enough power to power the iMac.
Try turning off some things and retry.
Maybe it's a bad power cable connector. If you narrow it down to this, contact an Apple Genius.
