Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
Then if it starts

As stated: our Mac won't turn on other than the white light on the bottom right.
Read through the support page which suggests taking the back off ( and use internal power switch) as in owners manual section 4, however it's not in there. At the bottom there is a couple of screws and a couple of star head screws, I'm guessing I need to undo these and possibly pull from the bottom. Don't want to break it,
Thanks
MikeA steady LED light generally indicates that the computer is on and the display is asleep.
Before you get inpatient and start taking out screws or trying to open it up, which is not an easy task on that model.
Reset the SMC, as per > Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Wait fifteen seconds.
4. Attach the computer's power cord.
5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Then run the AHT, as per > Using Apple Hardware Test -
My early Intel iMac running Snow Leopard will not boot past the apple logo. I have tried holding the c key and inserting the install disk, but nothing. What do I try next?
I have tried resetting PRAM and all other items listed in the Apple support site. This happened after an update to iTunes was added. Also this is happening to other people. Please help.

After turning on iMAC the sign in page comes up and accept my password. It then goes to a page with a background pictures but nothing else. If I leave it there it eventually fades and shows the clock. How to I get it to open from there?
Hello,
See if it'll Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup). -
Ok, tried message boards everywhere to try and figure this out before having to post a question. Have a 21.5" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After updates no wireless capability for ipad or laptop, imac connects fine but nothing else. No dashboard widgets work, Skype won't work. What goes?
Your post is pretty lengthy and I have to admit I didn't read it all. Please try restarting in Safe Mode, if that doesn't work please do both a SMC and PRAM reset. These may take 2-3 attempts.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
I am upgrading from Tiger to SL in a MCBPro with 2 gb ram and an intel chip and I get the following notice: Installation failed.... THE INSTALLER COULD NOT COPY THE NCESSARY SUPPORT FILES. Any help is appreciated...
Yes. I've found that works best. Especially if the drive is external, since external connections are typically slower, and Spotlight loves to eat up space going back and forth. Time Machine will eat up as much space as it can, and typically needs drives at least twice the size of the original hard drive that is being backed up, if being backed up in full. So unfortunately there is a lot of empty space that is needed for smooth operation.

When I power up my Imac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds the screen goes dark. I am able to still see the mouse arrow as I move it around. But nothing else. What is the problem and how do I recover?
Try this from another user:
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping). -
Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30
A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.

My iMac is not frozen; the mouse works, nothing else does. It all started with the iOS7 launch...
I attempted to update my iPhone 4 via WiFi and it crashed. Wouldn't respond to synch, charge, turn on. Notta. My dad plugged it into his iMac and it turned on, miraculously, I was practically on my way to get a new phone. Once it was back on, I attempted to update from iTunes on my desktop. No dice. I took the plunge and tried to update on WiFi again and was successful. I plugged my phone into my computer to sync music and iTunes wouldn't recognize my phone because my iTunes wasn't updated. My iTunes wouldn't update because my iMac software wasn't up to date. My desktop "update" claimed it was current. So...
I tried to download iTunes fresh, wouldn't open. I deleted my iTunes to try to download iTunes again and I'm now stuck here. It will shut down and restart if I hold the back power button. It will reboot to the same state. I have other devices but I'm emotionally attached to that computer and it cost a pretty penny. Any one have advice? Oh, and when I unplug and replug there is no change...
Thanks in advance. RebeccaThanks in advance. Rebecca
Can't access spec due to issues
If the iMac is frozen and you can't get to the specs, when did you buy the computer? I ask because this forum is for iMacs made before 2006 but, due to Apple's non-intuituve forum label choices, people with newer Macs often end up in this forum with little traffic.
Also the troubleshooting for the 2006 and newer iMacs can be different from the older ones.
You can try inputting your serial number (on the bottom of the computer's stand, most likely) into this Apple page:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
That can often give you the model. -
Exported a 3 minute video from iMovie into Quicktime, saved to desktop. System started saving INDIVIDUAL frames instead and entire system froze. Powered off and on twice - screensaver appears, but that's it - nothing else is accessible
Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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.
You may now be able to log in and move the files off the Desktop. Then reboot as usual. -
Powers on, Fan Runs, nothing else happens
I have satellite L305D-S5881 SP1 with Vista
When I turn on the computer it powers up, the fan runs, but nothing happens on the screen. It came on once, but when the laptop was shut down, it never came on again.
We opened it up and cleaned out the dust, still nothing. I'm going to college in a week so it's frustrating that it won't work.I'm having this exact same problem. Was told by two different technicians that it was the motherboard. I replaced the motherboard TWICE and still nothing, so I think the problem has to be somewhere else. Be nice if someone could help us out with this, I've been working on it for months! Toshiba Satellite A300D, Windows Vista

My Imac was just repaired at Apple Store and I have no sound. The Speaker Icon is not on???
Check the Sound system preferences. If the volume is turned up and the Mute checkbox is not marked, you don't have anything plugged into the headphone/output jack, and testing the Alert Volume on the Sound Effects pane doesn't generate a tone, then the technician may have failed to properly reconnect the speakers and you'll have to take the Mac back to the Apple Store. First, though, try resetting the PRAM:

TS1587 iMac will not boot. Monitor lights up with squiggly little lines, but that's all. Help??
My iMac 24" inte will not boot. Monitor lights up with squiggly little lines, but that's all. Help??
Can you run Apple Hardware Test. In you case it is not so much to see what it finds but to see whether you can boot it at all.
Or try a safe boot.
It may be time to take to apple for repair. -
I can't get access to the cd that is probably slid past where it is supposed to go. The computer doesn't note it is in there. This happened once before and I used another cd to tap it into place, and then I could eject the cd. It's a library music cd and nothing I've done to eject it, works. The dvd drive is empty to the computer, even though I've tried to trick it by getting it to burn a cd or dvd. It says insert disc. Hope someone knows how to pop it into place or open the thing up to get access to the drive. That cd is due!
power off your machine. hold down your left mouse button. power on your machine. This should eject the cd.
Eject cd
Here is a web page on twelve ways to eject the cd.
http://www.osxfaq.com/dailytips/01-2003/01-16.ws
You indicate you are running on a g5, but 10.6 doesn't run on on a G5.
On a PowerPC-based Macintosh (but not an Intel-based Macintosh), you may use Open Firmware to eject a CD or DVD disc when normal methods for ejecting it have not succeeded.
Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the key combination Command-Option-o-f. Enter commands:
eject cd
mac-boot
