OK, today started out ideal. Jennifer worked in the morning, then I went out and got a ton of work done in the afternoon. Came home and relaxed with a couple of games of internet halo….
And then my iMac froze. Not unprecedented. I shut it down.
And then I tried to turn it back on and nothing happened. Still nothing.
Yikes. If I could afford to upgrade to intel dual core I would regard this as an opportunity. But that’s not the case.
Try jiggling the power cord where it plugs into the mac – sometimes that gets loose…
Yeah, and unplug it completely from the back of the computer and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then try it.
If that’s not it, it’s probably just a power supply unit. That shouldn’t be too expensive.
Which generation iMac? I’m enjoying my Intel, but I only have the Mac mini. Check the forums at macrumors.com or on apple’s site for troubleshooting help.
my desktop PC hard disk went kaput. On my birthday.
No, I don’t have backups.
🙁
It eventually started up and has bee working since….
Welcome to the Mac-attack. Don’t be fooled, it is very likely to happen again. Just keep in mind that the Apple symbol resonates with the fall of man: apple with a bite.
Oh, and “crash different” man.

Wow… first Susan Wise Bauer, then the Gibbs’, now you. 3 possibly dead macs in as many weeks.
