Imac wont boot, stuck loading, all i see is apple logo and spinning cycle

My 27 inch iMac wont boot, i am runnign snow leopard. I just see the apple sign and the cycle spinning meaning its still loading. I cant use disk utility because leopard install disc wont boot, also i cant run any commands in single user mode, doing /sbin/fsck -fy does nothing, i dont see a # sign or anything, whatever i type it doesnt matter whenever i hit return the cursor just goes to the line below.

Power down (assume you have already tried the SMC reset) and insert the Applications DVD that came with your new iMac. Boot up while holding the "D" key down (may be best with a wired keyboard) to run the Apple Hardware Test according to these instructions:

IMac wont boot up

My IMac wont boot up! I installed the Mac OSX system disk and ran disk utility this is the results:
invalid node structure
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.

Thanks,

I called applecare and they were able to get my iMac up and running. Apparently there is an issue with updating software. I just had to do an update today and ended up with the same problem. So I re did what the applecare rep told me and I got it going again myself. I am hoping this will not continue. So anyway, I am going to provide the steps on how my I got iMac going.
1. unplug the computer for approx 17 seconds.
2. unplug everything from the computer except the mouse and keyboard.
3. plug in the computer
4. turn on the iMac and hold down the option key at the SAME TIME
5. when the iMac comes on, it will make a loud beep noise, CONTINUE to hold the power and option key until a small the Mac HD icon displays.
5. When the Mac HD icon shows on the screen, release the power button and option key. Then click on the arrow below the Mac HD icon.
5. The iMac will boot and take you to the desktop. Then click applications
6. choose the utility folder
7 then choose disk utility
8 a screen will appear that states first aid. At the bottom, there will be an option to repair disk. Click on that then choose Mac HD.
9 When this is finished, you are good to go. These steps will repair what ever the software updates are doing to the hard drive.
Hope this helps.

Imac wont boot

My late 2008 iMac wont boot. I have tried everything that i understand but cannot accesss harddisk.
I cannot boot fron dvd -cd or usb. I would like to run diskutil from terminal to repair and verify. System hangs/ stops running, when i try command+v ,message that (vmcl: Module initialized.)
Command + s puts me in single user mode and i cannot run diskutil.
Safe start is also not working.
I have all my work on imac and depserately need help.
Any ideas ???
Imac 2008 24" 3.06GHZ/2GB/500GB/SD8X/GF8800GS/512.
Downloaded and installed Lion recently, all software is ligitimate.
Running vmware / Vista, occasionally.
Machine just stopped, froze up.

Hei, just to let you know. I gave up and delivered my machine to mac repair. It turned out that a module error was the cause of my problems. They have since replaced the defective part and my machine works like a dream. No reinstalling either, all existing files and software are intact.

After the install upgrade my imac wont load anymore i tried to do a safe mode load and wehn i do at the end of it it tells me that i have a "systemShutdown false" what does this mean

If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

2006 imac wont boot ! g5 cord ok to try?

My late 2006 imac wont power up after a power outage. I did have it plugged into a surge protector tho that is over a decade old by now, didnt think of that earlier. I just get a black screen, no change when i press the power button after it being unplugged.
I Wanted to try the hardware test but the cd drive wont pull the cd in like it normally does when i place it in there.
I have tried an smc reset, no change.
I have an old g5 that no longer works. Im thinking of trying to use the power cord from that to see if its the cord that is the problem. would that be ok to try?

You should be fine trying the G5 power cord.

Does anyone know why the fan on my imac wont turn off?

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

Downloaded music from my new Imac wont play properly at my Ipod Mini

Just bought an Imac and downloaded music from Itunes musicstore. The music i have downloaded from my new Imac wont play properly at my Ipod mini. After 52 sec the song stops and the next song continues... If i go past the 52 sec it plays all right... I have tried to reset the ipod mini, and restore it. Nothing works...
The songs i have downloaded with my PC does not have any problems at all...
Hope you can help.

iTunes does not transfer tracks back from an iPod to iTunes. The synchronization function is from iTunes to the iPod only. But you can get tracks back from your iPod if they haven't been erased (which will happen if you synch your iPod to a blank iTunes). The easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
MacMuse: Computer crashed
If your tracks are already gone from your iPod, though, then you're probably out of luck and will need to re-import your CDs and repurchase your tracks from the iTunes Music Store if you don't have them backed up elsewhere (which is strongly recommend).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

After being away for two weeks my iMac wont send my Orange mail.

After being away on holiday for two weeks my iMac wont send my Orange mail. I get the message "The server “smtp.wanadoo.co.uk” refused to allow a connection on the default ports."
I have not changed any setting, the email sends if I login to Webmail, so the account itself is valid. The iMac mail downloads my email perfectly as normal. Using Mac OS X 10.6.8. Email address is one I have used for almost 10 years without any problems.
It is a POP3 account using default ports with no authentication or SSL. Have tried different ports (e.g. 26), putting password authentication on, but nothing works.
Any ideas?

Fixed it. Played about with the port numbers and got a more detailed message:
Client host blocked for spamming issues. OUK104_102 Ref http://csi.cloudmark.com/reset-request/?ip=nn.nn.nn.n. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
Went to Cloudmark and got the IP reset. Took an evening of work but worth it.

it sounds like a tagging problem, but I'm not sure how to help.... what kind of files are they? Typically, if they are organized properly in WMP, they should organize well in the Zen... go to WMP and try the advanced tag editor.

IMac wont open/start

after upgrade my iMac wont restart only gray screen comes out and cant see anything else.

Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup

HT1338 After reloading OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard iMac wont install updates

iMac wont update after reinstalling OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

If I recall correctly the gray bar could indicate that a firmware update is installing, or that the system is checking the hard drive.
I've run out of suggestion since without the Install DVD's we can't boot the system to run Disk Utility in order to verify the hard drive. It might be a good idea to give Apple a call to see if they can help you get a set of replacement install discs.
The other option is to find another working Mac and connect the two systems via a compatible Firewire cable. Once connected turn on your iMac with the issue and hold down the 't' key in order to place the iMac into the Target Disk Mode. This should allow your other Mac system to mount your iMac's hard drive as an external volume. If nothing else it would allow you to backup your important files.
