iMac 2010 do not start at all?

Right,

So I had recently an iMac by my father-in-law because he needed a new job. I took it on places that I would erase all the information of the business out of it.

In any case, I followed a guide online, and I guess I'm a little more excited that I ended up wiping the whole out of the mac OS.

I did some research and found that I had to buy a Flash DRIVE with the OS on it and start, however, when I do, nothing happens. When I hold the different key combinations to start in different modes, nothing is happening, until I let go, it just goes to a srreen with a folder with an exclamation mark.

What I am doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated!

How excatly do go by wiping the entire disk? OS X can not erase its own partition, so you must have had an external system?

  • Portege 2010 does not start-> white screen

    Hello

    I need help because my 2010 does not start. When I press the power button, the power light turns on but I get nothing on the screen.

    He worked when my brother used it until the mouse has frozen and then turns off. He then lit it back in which case only the power led came up with nothing on the screen.

    The hard drive was clicking while it worked so I don't have a gut feeling that hard must the disc are dead and causing the cell not to return as when I power it on I get no hard drive light shape or sound the HDD at all.

    Even I get nothing on the screen. Not even the Red sign boot Toshiba. So, it's worry in me as well.

    Thank you, Claude

    Hello

    I put t think it is a HARD drive problem.
    If the HARD drive is dead, you will receive a message on the screen saying that the laptop is not able to find a boot device.

    If the Toshiba start screen does not appear I think that it s something wrong with the motherboard. I guess that the graphics card is dead. But to be 100% sure, verification is required.
    In my opinion, you should ask a partner or a technician for assistance.

  • I thought that if I want my machine to boot faster I can move the fonts of the lokal disk documents folder so it does not start them all at the start

    original title: Fonts folder

    I thought that if I want my machine to boot faster, I can move the folder of fonts of the lokal disk to documents so it does not start them all at the start, and since I got them in the documents that I usually have no error saying that im their lack is this true? I have enough disk space hard as I don't care to remove them the reason why I want to do is if my machine starts as soon as possible thank you in advance!

    Don't listen to anyone who has you said that.
     
    The best way to speed up your computer is to eliminate startup items which are unnecessarily run at startup.  Go to start | Search and type msconfig and then see what is running at startup and what other services are underway then as well.  You can eliminate selectively and then evaluate how fast your computer runs.

  • iMac A1311 does not start, due to no HARD drive

    I have an iMac A1311 that has no HARD drive, so I have a disk HARD of Windows and OS X 10.6.1 discs. Can I use my PC to format the HARD drive and install OS X on the HDD using my PC? iMac will not start cuz no HARD drive

    Unfortunately, you can not. You will need to install a hard drive in the Mac - you cannot install or run Mac OS on a Windows machine (or anything other than Mac hardware).

    In addition, if this one is to end 2011, most likely cannot install 10.6.x as it came without doubt with 10.7 Lion (depending on when it was released or purchased). Mac can not boot from an OS older than what they came with. If it came with Lion, you can install a HDD and then use recovery to format and install the original above operating system (if you downloaded/purchased previously with your Apple ID).

  • Update of Firefox does not, so I re-installed. Now firefox does not start at all?

    Yes firefox, I started one morning, and I saw that it has been updated. After waiting, the notification saying "firefox is updated" crashed so I had to shut it down. When I started firefox again, he stated that the update failed, but less than a second after that notification skipped upward, it crashed also. He continued doing this, so I followed some instructions on the internet, re-installed firefox (without deleting the data of a personal nature), but now, firefox won't start at all!

    Now what?

    Unfortunately, I never submitted before incident reports, so the folder does not exist in my computer

    But the good news is that I tried running in windows safe mode, and it worked, then after returning to normal windows, it did not work. After waiting a while, now it works again, so I guess this can be considered resolved now

  • iMac 2009 does not start

    My imac has been running really slow, began with safari, so I switched browsers and that worked for a while the origin of the problem. So was slow today and I decided just to shut it down for a while and now it won't restart. When I hit the power button, it sounds and passes to the gray apple logo screen with the start-up of the below status bar, but when it comes to halfway, it just stops. I was able to start it in safe mode (?) Now command + option + r) and I was able to run disk utility, but when I ran check it or repairing, he said that player could not be parsed. I have a backup so I can certainly restore from that. but looks like it could be a more serious problem? In addition, I am running the latest operating system.

    What you're saying, looks like your iMac's hard drive is seriously damaged. First of all, he started to work slowly, but now OS X will try to repair the drive each time you start, even if she can't, so your Mac goes off.

    However, there is another problem: your Mac is now considered to be "obsolete", so Apple does not provide technical support for this. This means that you should look for a new hard drive for your iMac, install it and restore your Time Machine backup.

  • V50.0.2: * all * download left-clicked links seem to not start at all - but in fact files are downloaded silently as .part to the temp folder

    Since a few hours ago, I click on the download links are not processed as expected:

    -There is no indication of a download link click at all, that is, no confirmation, no dialog box to choose the destination folder, etc.

    -downloads TO start even if files are downloaded SILENTLY in the folder Temp (C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp) as a .part files (and stay there when the download is complete)

    -C' is the case on Web site downloads, I tried

    -the library has no record that all the files have been downloaded

    -There is also no indication of a download completion

    -downloaded files are intact as far as I can tell (tested by renaming and extract a zip file)

    -However, right-clicking and choosing "save link under ' works very well

    -In addition, the elements of the popup menu "downthemall" Download Manager work very well (for example "save the link with downthemall")

    -ive also noticed that closing the download source tab does not cancel the download, for that I have to close completely the ff

    Measures taken so far:

    -restart ff

    -restart the computer

    ran-a anti-virus (avast), ran malwarebytes scan

    -ran ff with all extensions disabled: same problem

    -a went through the steps detailed here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files

    -tried to download files with the different browser: worked well

    -tried to download files with profile ff different: worked well

    -tried to download files in safe mode ff: worked well

    ... any ideas?

    • shrug *.

    I "solved" this by backup of bookmarks, passwords and settings and such things of the migration to a fresh profile ('refresh function'), as well as reinstall and - configure my extensions.

  • Satellite C875-150 does not start at all (Win8)

    Hey,.

    I'm running a c875-150 Satellite with Windows 8, which gets to the screen of the toshiba leading innovation, boots loop for a bit and then just hangs there.

    I tried to hold F8 as it boots up.

    I tried to hold F12 as it starts. (adjustment means stupid windows 8 I haveto also hold Fn).

    I tried to hold 0 as it starts.

    I put in the recovery disc (it is not recognize it).

    I put in a CD of ubuntu (it is not recognize it).

    Basically, I now have a Clipboard of £450: S

    Becomes the only other thing I could try a boot disk windows 8 and see if it will run it... It doesn't seem to boot from the CD anyway.

    I'm bored of Windows 7.

    Thanks :)

    > I put in the recovery disc (it is not recognize it).

    Access the BIOS (press F2 during the turn on/off the unit).
    In the BIOS disable UEFI MSC mode and secure start
    Save the changes, and now you should be able to boot from a boot disk
