Used glitchey 24" imac intel

just got a 24" Intel Core 2 duo(2006) off of ebay and everything was working fine and now the screen is getting all glitchey adn freezing up.  everything I have been reading says to run the Apple Hardware Test, but I don't hav the original discs that came with the computer.  I am running the most recent version of Snow Leopard.  I was under the impression that all I had to do was restart the computer and hold the D key, but all it does is do its normal start up to username and password.  where can I get the AHT disc for my computer?

If they still have them, they're available for a nominal fee.  Contact Apple support at (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)

  • What Version of Photoshop should I use for my iMac Intel 1.8 with OSX 10.7

  • Error -9813 on my new, pathetic iMac intel OS 10.4

    Hi,
    I, like many others in this forum, cannot purchase or download for free anything from the iTunes store using my new iMac intel. On older Macs, I've never had any trouble at all. I've got the latest iTunes version, the latest QuickTime version. I read somewhere something about Keychain access possibly being corrupted and tried following step by step instrux, but had to stop in the middle as the instructions stopped making sense.
    The error message I get is -9813.
    There is no firewall on my computer.
    I've sent apple three emails. I've gotten replies back from unhelpful people who seem not to read my complaint before sending off the wrong info to me.
    I really don't know what else to do.
    Any thoughts from anyone else who's licked this problem??
    Thanks in advance.
    iMac - 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The following two files:
    X509Anchors and X509Certificates
    in /System/Library/Keychains
    may be corrupted. You could use the 3rd-party utility Pacifist to extract those files from your system's install disk. But it would probably be easier (and maybe more sure to fix the problem) if you just do an "archive and install" from the install disk, being sure to select the option to preserve users. This will keep all your user files and just replace the OS X system files and applications. You should run Software Update afterwards to get your system up to date again.
    You should make a backup of your user files first, just in case something goes wrong.
    Hope this helps.

  • Translating ClarisWorks 4 documents to Appleworks in iMac Intel computer

    Peggy and Dennis' answers to my question of March 23 has told me that AppleWorks can be used on the iMac Intel Duo Core. My question: If I purchase a current AW, will AW, operating on my new iMac Intel translate my ClarisWorks 4 documents (created on a PowerMac G3 with OS 8.6)? Or, do I need some other translators? (I have read the Sunshine dialogue.) I have word processing and database files. The database files I have moved to the iMac appear as dark icons.
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, AppleWorks 6.2.4 will work & it will open ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files. AW 6.2.9 had something "break" in the update & it may or may not open these files. Also, drag & drop in tables broke, but that just would require copy or cut & paste of the data.
    Since Pages will only open AppleWorks 6 word processing documents, you'll want to keep AppleWorks 6 to use any other kind of Claris/AppleWorks documents. I have found that inline objects don't translate to Pages, but floating ones do. Pages 2 now supports the importing of floating spreadsheet frames in AppleWorks 6 word processing documents.
    Once you get all of your ClarisWorks documents updated to AppleWorks 6, I suggest updating to AppleWorks 6.2.9. One big advantage 6.2.9 has is that it supports scrolling mice.

  • How do I use a Verizon PC Wireless card with my iMAC Intel Core desktop?

    Help! Bought a Kyocera KPC650 Wireless PC Card for Verizon wireless internet. Works fine w/ laptop because it has a slot. How do I configure my iMAC desktop to accept this card? Is there an external USB adapter? Or do I have to get one installed internally? Which adapter works with OX 10.4?
    I've seen the Quatech U132 online. Will that work? Its $192!! As is the Sewell adapter too. ($209)
    Any ideas? I want to get off SBCYahoo DSL and their router because our DSL line is damaged in our complex and no one is fixing it!
    Thanks in advance.

    What protocol is Verizon using that is not compatible with the Airport Extreme built into your iMac? I have used Apple's Airport Extreme with a lot of different wireless routers with zero problems as all conform to either 802.11b or 802.11g standard both of which are supported by the built in Airport Extreme.

  • I bought MACkeeper and used it to cleanup my computer. I have a Imac intel, When I didi this it deleted all my files. I tried to do a time machince. and it didn't work. so I pulled the files out of trash and my computer still isn't runing right.

    I bought MacKeeper to help make my Imac intel faster. Insted it deleted all my files.
    I tried to recover using time Machine, and it didn't recover back to yesterday. So I started to pull
    the files and Applications out of trash. This just got me lipping along. It ran slower and would get
    the spining wheel of death. I finaly gave in and thought I would reinstall Lion and everything would be
    great. Well wrong, I seem to be starting fine, but all my files are gone. When I go in to time Machine
    I see a device drive name (xxx). I go in that device and all my files are there. how do I pull them to the new
    install of Lion? So I can be happy again. Thank you for all your time and help.

    Do not install MacKeeper:

  • Do I need to partition my hard drive to use Airport to back up my files on my iMac intel?

    Airport Utility was pre-installed on my iMac (Intel) and I don't know how to use Time Machine with Airport.  I want to backup my hard drive and thought that Time Machine would do this. I receive a message to select a Backup Disc.  Do I have to partition my hard drive to have the backup on my iMac? Alternately I could purchase an external hard drive with USB 3.0.  Would Time Machine detect the USB external drive so that I could select that as the Backup Disc?  Are there any cons for Apple wireless hard drives?

    The idea with Time machine is to use it to back up to an external drive. Once connected you would tell Time Machine to use that drive.
    However before you do that, connect the external drive and open Disk Utility
    1. Click on the external drive
    2. Click on the Erase tab and select Mac OS extended, Journaled.
    3. Click Apply
    When finished it will be formatted correctly and then open Time machine and tell it to use it as the Time machine backup disk.

  • I am puzzled by iMac(Intel ?).  I am running an iMac 24 and use Mac:Office 2008.  After having downloaded my Os X LION upgrade, I am suddenly unable to SAVE (and thus alter) my Excel quotations.  This is a major issue for a salesman.  Can anybody help me

    I am puzzled by the meaning of iMac (Intel) as I use an iMac 2 period.  I am running Mac : Office 2004 and do all my quotations in Excel.  After upgrading to OS X LION,  I am suddenly unable to SAVE my spreadsheets.  As a salesman whose quotations need frequent updating,  my situation is perilous to say the least.  Can anyone help me ?

    Office for Mac 2004 is NOT compatible with Lion. It must be upgraded to Office for Mac 2008 or 2011, once you have upgraded the files will be accessable. Office for Mac 2004 is written for old PPC (Power PC) based machines. Beginning with Lion support for PPC based apps has been dropped.

  • Windows **** using parallels, imac intel HELP!

    Here's my set up:
    airport extreme firewall (dhcp / nat + reasonable passwords)
    imac intel running parallels running xp sp2
    I'm running call logging software and xp has just c**pped it's pants on me, corrupt data files and all my work is down the toilet, I have backups but not recently as I would like. But I don't know for the life of me why it happened.
    The only weird thing is that I have 3 base stations, one main, two remotes, one of the remotes - the one feeding the imac, disappeared off the network, so I rebooted the main one, and it reappeared, checked the config - it was fine and is now working again I don't know if this is related.
    1. Is this windows s**king as per usual
    2. Or is it a virus taking advantage of windows (windows is on the net through shared networking through parallels and the airport extreme system)
    3. or have a got a dud hard drive and it's about to die on me?
    Urgent help required!
    Thanks,
    Miklos.
