Where is the power cord on iMac?

I want to unplug my iMac desktop.  Which cord is it?

marydigs,
It's the white cord plug on the back of the computer in the middle, locate the hole in the stand and look straight through it to see. Here is a picture that should help you out.

  • Installing second drive - where is the power cord?

    Hello,
    I am trying to install a second drive on my Quad. I see the data jumper but don't see a jumper for the power. Am I missing something?
    Thanks, Gary

    Actually solved this one myself . After searching and searching for the cord under the drive bay (convinced it was missing) I looked ABOVE the and saw that there is a second power connector attached the drive in the upper bay. You have unplug that connector, drop it down to the bottom drive and plug the second connector into the drive in the upper bay.
    All is now well.

  • Anyone know where I can buy the power cord for intel imac

    i lost the power wire to my imac and i don't know  where to buy it
    anyone know where can I get it  and how much it costs?

    Newer iMacs use ordinary computer power cords commonly used on all sorts of electronic equipment.
    The power cord used on G5 iMacs (I think) is different but is also readily available. Either one will cost you less than $10.

  • HT4060 Where on the iPad mini do I plug in the power cord?

    I just bought a new iPad mini and need to recharge the battery.  But I don't see where on the iPad to plug in the power cord.  The power cord has the same male connector as my iPhone 4.  Help!

    Use the cable that came with the iPad mini, not with your iPhone. Different connectors.

  • I need to purchase a power cord for my intel based 27" iMac.  I have had it for almost 2 years, I don't have apple care and I don't want to take it in to the genius bar. I know it's the power cord and I just want to purchase one.

    iMacs take generic power cords. If it fits into the back of the iMac and an electrical socket, it'll work.
    Good luck.

    Anyone having the same problem?

    Makes no difference if anyone is having the same problem.  The important thing is that it's happening to YOU!
    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. 
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.

  • Imac g5-something wrong in the power cord?

    something wrong in the power cord- I can't put it in the computer 100%- it's not sitting there right. I just bought the computer. should I do it in force?

    Don't force it!
    I had same problem for a second, but then it slid in very easily once I relaxed and stopped panicing.

  • Does a Laptop Warranty Cover the Power Cord?

    Hi, I bought a HP Envy Touchsmart 15 and it is still covered by warranty.   However, I cannot find any support help online such as  the support chat which I find very odd since I just used it about a month ago when my battery died!  Where did all the support go?
    Anyways, when I plug in my laptop, the LED by the power port does not come on, and my laptop will not charge or turn on at all.  My battery is dead, but I know it works becasue it is less than a month old.  Since my laptop will not run on AC power even with the battery removed, I feel the power cord is the problem.
    I would really like to know if my warranty covers the power cord, and if so how do I contact HP, since there is absolutley no information when I go to "Contact Us" besides the consumer forums.
    I am a ECE student at UT in Austin, and every day I go without a laptop is hurting my grades.  So I need help ASAP

    Hi
    Yes, power cord, adapter are covered under limited warranty. HP would replace it for you if it's faulty.
    Check warranty: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/weInput?cc=us&lc=en
    These are what I could find to help you:
    Contact HP: http://h22207.www2.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp
    Contact HP in Texas:

  • My MacBook Pro 13'' shuts down randomly while connected to the power cord.

       Alright, so my Mac is shutting down while being connected to the power cord. Though, when I unplugged it, it runs just fine.
    I've read up on the other random shut downs but they seem to be different in my case. I was only surfing youtuve on Firefox, granted I had a few other tabs open but they weren't doing anything that would run the computer hot, and it shut down out of no where. The battery was full and it was still connected to my power cable. The screen went blank and the computer was completely off. I noticed that the light on the plug in wasn't on and switch the outlet that the computer was plugged into and replugged it into my computer. The light came on and after about three or so times of pressing the power on button it came back to life. Though, it stayed on the start up, white apple page and just spun. After a while it looked as if it was about to go to my password page but it shut down after gently moving the computer. The power cable light went off once again. I unplugged it and replugged it into my computer but the light would not come back on. After just removing the cord and pushing the button a few times my computer came back to life and I logged in as normal except for the fact that after it came back on the date and time was reset and several applications needed permissions. It also randomly logged me out of my Facetime account as well.
    All in all I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and know what's going on or if this is new. Could it be some kind of spark in the power cable from a broken wire that made my computer shut down or is it something attacking my computer?

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • My laptop crashes - i think it's the power cord but i'm not for sure

    I have a 2 year old Toshiba Satellite Laptop model # A205-S4707.  I bought it brand new in 2008, but I just recently started having this problem.  I at first thought it was a problem with the video card because what will happen is the video freezes up and will show different color lines or a black or blue box.  I thought the window air conditioning unit by my desk being on may have something to do with it because I started noticing the issue at the beginning of summer when I started using the window AC.  The problem would normally happen when it would be loading my programs when I first turn it on, but now it crashes 30 minutes to an hour or maybe 2 hours after I turned it on.  I than thought it might be my power cord since there's a couple places in my power cord where the inner wire is exposed,  so I taped the areas and plugged it back in and it still crashes, but not as much as it used to.  The other day it wanted to crash every time I tried to start my laptop up, and since it would just crash after 2 hours of it being on. And this morning it wanted to crash while loading windows twice when I had it plugged in, but when I unplugged it it's working fine.  Something tells me it's the power cord causing the issue - anyone else have any experience with this issue? If so, how can this issue be resolved? I can't go on depending on battery usage because I like leaving my laptop on when I'm asleep (I have it turned off when I'm at work - so it's on probably 15 hours a day).  If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. My OS is Windows Vista.
    THanks,
    Mike

    I have an 18-month P305 series Satellite and for a while (approximately 8-9 months ago) I couldn't figure out why my laptop would all of a sudden shut down while everything was working fine, or sometimes it even shut off when I press the power button to turn it on. My laptop was also acting pretty wierd with the Illumination Buttons, they wouldn't respond and froze, wouldn't light up after the computer has turned on and sometimes it won't turn off if the computer's been completely shut down, yes, the lights still stay lit afterward.
    Just last week, when I was moving my laptop around to adjust for comfort, the thing shuts down on me again, this time I realized that the ac light had a 'quick' flick and this tells me that there is something wrong with power supply, either DC jack or the cord by the plug. I usually disconnect the battery when I have it plugged in to preserve the life of the cells. So when every time this thing becomes loose, the laptop would shut off. I was actually blaming the problem with bad BIOS and and maybe faulty updated drivers. The other day, I held the wire (by the socket and the fuse) and kind of twist and turn it and sure enough, I lost power, and the ac light flickered. I knew right away that was the problem. I found an identical original OEM power supply on ebay for $15 shipped, received it today and all is well. All this time, the culprit was the power cord. 
    My advice is to take the battery out and run the power from the AC cord, wiggle and turn the 'wire' slightly by the dc jack, also, test the plug to the DC connecter; hold the barrel (the plug socket to the computer) and wiggle it, if it doesn't shut off then it's the wire and you need a new power supply. Make sure you buy one that is of high quality. I recommend OEM for safety reasons.

  • Does the battery recall affect the power cord jack?

    My computer battery is part of the recall. However in addition to the battery problem, the jack where the power cord plugs in is not working. I brought it to an authorized repair location and was told the "bronze wore off" and that the entire interior piece would have to be replaced. At a cost of approximately $500. since it is 2 years old. My question is this: could the faulty battery have affected the jack and therefore shouldnt this problem be covered under the recall?

    Absolutely. And if they give you a hassle about it at the apple store explain to them quietly that a policy which does not factor into account the damage caused by defective parts is a marketing strategy that is admonishing the proper use of a computer. Furthermore it relegates the status of a consumer to the level of non-interest in furthering the aim of the company.
    Hows that? It's the best I could come up with but in light of the trouble with the SEC that this and other companies are facing this should be ample enough ammunition to accomplish the mission [but don't hassle with applecare take it to the store unless you have a warranty and in that case it would be covered].

  • Is the battery dead, or do i need to replace the power cord??

    was using the laptop and had the battery fully charged, also with the power cord plugged in. laptop then apparantly went into sleep mode (took battery out, battery did NOT have any charge according to the charge level) left plugged into the charger and went right back to where it was before sleep mode
    so i put the battery back in and it at that time seemed to say was charging, but an hour later checked the charge level on the battery itself and still seemed to say had no charge...

    Go to Applications/Utilities/System Profiler. Select "Power" from the list on the left, and then copy and paste here what it says about your battery.

  • Computer won't turn on and the power cord doesn't light up

    My problem with the computer is that it will not turn on. The battery is fully charged, power cord is plugged into a working outlet. I have held down the power button for 10 second or even longer. Nothing turns it on and the power cord doesn't light up at all. Any thing will help.
    Thanks

    First, check that your AC outlet has power. Second, see this article: Intel-based iMac- What to do if your computer won't turn on and this one Resetting MacBook and MacBook Pro System Management Controller (SMC).
