Hi all, I just purchased the iMac G5 for my fourteen year old sun. He has been having trouble turning it on. Is there anything specific he needs to do

The question mark means that an operating system has not been found. These machines will run 10.5 OS X and lower. Either the hard drive is disconnected, missing, or it is missing an operating system. Any of the options aren't too hard to fix.

When you plug it in and press the power button do you hear the start tone and or the apple image.

Thanks for your response. I wanted to be sure that others were not having heat problems with this MAC before I placed an order. I am using the new MacBook and it works great no heat problems there. Robert

What projector do you have? Does your Imac have a place for the SVGA Cable to hook up? I don't think the Imac has a place open for the SVGA cable to hook up..?Dan

I have used ONLY Mac's for many years; but they can be expensive to fix from time to time. I do have the round power plug. Thank you for you input.

I have iMac the Black Magic works great. It plugs into USB port. No complaints from me. I had the same concerns as you. It took me about a year before I broke down an bought the Back Magic.

I ran into the same problem. I ended up contacting the seller. I ended up upgrading to an iMAC or HP product.

Hi, I too have old MAC laptops. I bit the bullet and searched on Goggle for " used macs" It is not the best way but it worked for me. I has aquired 4 used macs and am surviving the on slot of the new tech, OS systems and etc. It is a bit of crap shoot but I have extended my use of "clasic" SW. but the time is near where I will have to go to the newer software. The new SW is making our old SW useless. Regards W. Kirhgofer

The short answer is yes. The new IMac draws between 80-101 Watts (according to apple lit). The apple power cord smooths the power so the modified sine wave power isn't an issue either. At max computer cpu usage with no other equipment on the APC during a power service outage you should have enough APC power for about 35 minutes.Hope this helps...

I've got an older 20" iMac (2009?) with the black back. It runs pretty hot and loud, but seems to be fine. I've recently replaced the 1TB WD black with the 2TB variant and it's been running fine for at least six months. If I could do it over, I'd buy a fast, quiet SSD and use external drives for data. Of course, that's going to cost a lot more.

I had the same problem. There are two possibilities (1) the unit is not drawing enough power or (2) it does not work with your computer. This unit was not compatible with two Macs that I tested it on. It would not work and I could not resolve the problem. I had to return it. If you are on a Mac, then probably it will not work for you. If you are on a PC, see if you can get the unit more power.

Alberto,There can be several Issues causing the Mac Backlight not work. I would check with the Seller that you bought the Laptop from. He does not offer a Repair or Replacement, I would recommend Returning the Mac since it is not working properly. You have a right as a Buyer to Return the Defective Merchandise. If you have any questions, Feel Free to Ask.

Sorry, butI do't know iMac...Sometime I've the same problem with my HD, resolved with Disk Utility Repair Permissions or or Disk.If in Disk Utilities you don't see the disk, find to link the disk with an USB 2/3 cable with a termination like GoFlex..

I use Mac and I didn't have a problem. There is an additional download of NTFS on the Seagate support sight that might help but I didn't need it. I plugged it in and didn't have to turn it on for my computer to recognize it. There is a factory reset button on the bottom which you might try. If the unit doesn't power on it even when it's disconnected, it may be bad from the factory.

Hello: Could you tell me what MAC you have please? I can not get my Sansa e280 8gig device to connect with my G4 emac. The screen of the Sansa says connected but nothing showing on my Mac. It did show as a volume a few times. Why only a few times I don't know. I have the USB mode set to MSC. Thanks for any help.

I have an iMac but am not certain what year I got it. But I had to upgrade to 4 gigs (I couldn't add more than that) and buy the windows program to go with it. I have been as happy with it as with any new computer workings. My iMac sometimes runs slow and I must delete temp files etc to keep it efficient.

Check to make sure your iMac "Thunderbolt Port" is actually that. Your problem may be that the port is actually a display port and not a Thunderbolt. They are shaped exactly the same.
