Why won't my IMac turn on?

My IMac is always on. I went to check something and it wont turn on at all?

Single click the On OFF button and see what happens.  If nothing happens then UNPLUG the computer and wait a couple of minutes and then plug the computer back in and then single click the ON OFF button one time and your computer should start up
Cheers

  • Why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

    why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

    Two things, first see if it shows up in "Apple > About This Mac > More Info.. > Disc Burning" . If you still see it there the system still recognizes it but it isn't responding. Next do a
    SMC RESET

    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.
    Hopefully this will reset the power to the drive.

    Have no clue since you provided no details.  What did the smart phone tech support tell you?  You contacted them right?

  • Why won't my iMac recognise my LEVRO Ereader?

    Why won't my iMac recognise my LEVRO Ereader? It works fine with windows laptoip and the manual states it should work with 0S 10 and above.

    Go to > Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive and work thru the sections that pertain to the external superdrive.
    Try cleaning it with a lens cleaning disc.
    example > Memorex CD and DVD Lens Cleaning Kit: Electronics
    If that doesn't help?  It is covered for 1 full year, so take it in for service or exchange.

  • Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

    When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
    Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?

  • Why doesn't my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

    Why doesn’t my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

    Yes, otherwise some people might have to walk up to the third floor and turn on iMac,
    and then go back down to living room in order to stream form iTunes. My iMac is close,
    but not in same room. There must be something I don't have set up right.

    why won't my screen turn when the phone does?

    Not all apps support screen rotation. The Home screens do not rotate. But also check to make sure you have not locked screen rotation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and check that rotation lock is not on.

  • Why won't my iMac boot up?

    I am at a complete loss as to why my iMac (17", 2007) won't boot up. After paying a small fortune (> $500 USD) to have the optical drive replaced (the Apple Authorised Service Provider thought that was the cause of the problems), I was able to start the computer (which had been wiped clean - I have Time Machine backups, so no matter) and then immediately tried to update the OS to Lion.
    The download and subsequent installation took a couple of hours, and right at the end the system hung. I had no real alternative but to to restart by holding in the power button. The system booted and went past the grey login screen, but Finder would not start, so there was not much else I could do but restart manually again.This time, the system would not go past the grey startup screen with the Apple logo and the spinning dial.
    The iMac is unresponsive to starting via:
    - holding either the C, S or R keys (in fact, I'm not even sure if there's a DVD/CD in the drive, as it won't eject or allow me to put a CD/DVD in)
    - zapping the PRAM
    - holding the Command button
    The only way I can get past the grey screen is to hold the Option (Alt) button, which then allows me to choose the Macintosh HD or my external harddisk (with backup). I have run Disk Utility, and there are apparently no problems with my HD. The SuperDrive is greyed out, so it won't allow me to eject from here either.
    I completed a restore of the system using the Time Machine and even chose an older backup (from the beginning of March), as I know my computer was running properly at this stage. At the end of the restore, I received a message indicating that the restore had been successful, and that the computer would need to restart....I crossed my fingers and hoped, but alas, I got the grey screen again. I let the dial spin for about 5-10 minutes, but then tried restarting manually again.
    Does anyone have any suggestions which involve NOT having to take my computer back to the Service Provider (and imparting with a bundle of cash) again.
    Pretty please?

    Restart holding Option and select Macintosh HD as you've done before.
    When it's up, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk > select Macintosh HD > restart..
    Should boot up correctly after that.

  • Why won't my iMac start up after I put my password in. It just stops on the screen with the apple logo

    I turned on my iMac today running Lion and typed in my password and it went to the gray screen with the apple logo and a little wheel spinning below it and won't go any further. Ive tried the Pram reset with cmd alt r p. no help. Ive tried a safe boot. No help. I've unpluged everything to it and unpluged the iMac itself. No help. One other thing I wanna try but I don't think I can is starting with the install cd. But oh wait, lion was a download only. So I don't have a disk. I have a snow leopard install disk. I put that in just so I can get to my disk utility.  When I got there I saw that my HD drive was not mounted and it wont let me repair it. I'm thinking this has to do with using the snow leopard cd. Maybe it will show mounted if I tried a lion cd that I don't have. Any ideas????

    Please read Apple's Gray screen appears during startup, you have performed some of the troubleshooting steps however I'd recommend starting over from the beginning of the advice letter and following the instructions to the letter.

  • Why won't my iMac camera work on Omegle?

    A few weeks ago I started using Facetime on my iPad. Ever since I did that the camera on my iMac won't work on websites like Omegle. I turned off Facetime on my iPad and the camera worked again on my iMac. Once I turned it back on (and tried turning it off again) my camera on my iMac just will not work. I've installed the latest flash player all the latest updates but nothing seems to work. I'm able to use my camera in photobooth. When I open up Omegle I don't get the pop up window to ask me to allow and when I try to turn the camera on by hovering over where my picture would be, it doesn't allow me to. When I click the red button, nothing happens. I have pretty much zero programs installed on my iMac to begin with and I just have no idea what's causing the problem. I thought it had something to do with Facetime but maybe that was just a conicidence. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm starting to get really frustrated.

  • Why won't my iMac wake up?

    I recently switched ISP's to a Mifi from Verizon, which I keep off when not in use because of data costs.  I've noticed that since I made the switch, my iMac won't wake up when I want to use it.  I need to unplug it, replug it, and start it up in order to use it.  Why is this happening?  Does it have something to do with the Mifi being off, which doesn't make sense to me.  I have an iMac 10.8.2.  Thank you.

    Try doing a SMC and PRAM reset and then post back. You can find insturctions at https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
    Also I'd recommend not putting the computer to sleep, only put the display to sleep.

    Have you made sure the power cord is firmly plugged in at both ends?  Try resetting thr SMU - it would be helpful if you could tell us which model iMac you have.
