iMac died after installation support VESA

Hello

I just installed a VESA support for my late 2009 iMac 27 inches and now the computer is dead.   I have a feeling that when inserting credit card to release the latch to expose the s standing iMac live can I have rigged thing upwards.  I had it jiggle around a bunch.  It is the first time I ever did this.

Does anyone know if my suspicion is credible?  I thought as I did 'sounds weird, probably steal a card in this slot can damage things "...

I don't know what to do.  It is quite old, but it was still in daily use.  I hesitate to open it because I know it's quite tedious (I installed a new hard drive last year and has vowed that it would be the last time I did)

Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

We have no way to be able to say, when you say that it is dead do you mean the computer doesn't make any noise at all and there is no power indication is to learn it? If this is the case, it points to a defective power supply. In any case, the only thing we can recommend to help it is to take it to an Apple authorized Service provider to diagnose professionally.

  • Creating cloud Mac Download Manager will not LAUNCH after installation.

    Creative cloud Mac Download Manager App LANCERA not after installation. Nothing happens at all. (The system is an iMac: 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 w/16 GB running ElCaptain 10.11.4)

    For Brucgonn someone else it is! I've done a lot of reading about it in both Adobe & Apple Forums and rebuilt my system the last 3 days and answer for this is very simple! I am running a 21 "4 K Retina Mac El Capitan 11.4 in 64-bit mode. Goto: Applications / Utilities / Adobe CC / CAC / Creative Cloud.app the "Get Info" and luck for the App "open in low resolution. "THIS CORRECTION IS THE PROBLEM!" Now it opens and the icon is on my top menu bar to the right.

    Adobe should add to their web support page for the Creative Cloud Manager Download Page. Have run you a Mac in high resolution (retina in 4K or 5K) you must goto the creative Cloud.app the and modify the application to open in low resolution. Or when the application installs it is watching to see what kind of Mac your race and change the App opens in correct mode.

  • Thunderbird crashes after installation of vn 38.4. Solved. Cause - bad record?

    (This question was published only because I could not respond to existing similar questions without registering first.)

    Problem was apparently a Thunderbird randomly hanging after automatic update to 38.4 on Windows 7 Enterprise. The process of dropping out/no response took place a few minutes after start of TB, compose messages, send or download of IMAP mail.

    Shortcut to the final solution - probably corrupted files or folders at the OS level.

    For those who are conducting similar research I also watched the references linked below.

    En route to the solution, various obfuscation were met, all of which were interesting but NONE OF THESE solved the problem of the suspension, namely:

    -back to Thunderbird 38.1 extracted from Mozilla's FTP repository

    -Disable all modules in SafeMode as suggested in posts below

    -deactivation of reminders on calendar, pop ups and sounds like suggested in the posts below

    -turn off sounds (in the systray) as suggested in posts below and new mail alerts

    -Discover, finally, only one of the half-dozen or so synchronized account IMAPs has caused the problem, which is an account Exchange-synced via the excellent DavMail (Davmail upgrade to the latest version was another diversion)

    -assuming that the compaction of TB was not his work and that he is too much vacuum/zombie files left lying around, leading to a redundant cleanup using Thunderfix (http://www.parhelia-tools.com/products/thunderfix/thunderfix.aspx), was nevertheless his cleaning of employment but not a solution

    What worked then...

    The procedure of backup profiles recommended TB in Thunderfix and elsewhere led to discover that the copy of Windows has won at least one file during the copy. Suspecting lower level corruption, I ran chkdsk D: /f (since all data are on D: and not on C: with the operating system). No major problems found aprt of 4 files analyzed once again.

    I resorted to the use of SynckbackSE to do the backup instead, noting that one of the failures was Junk.msf. That and the knowledge that the account linked to Exchange was the likely to be the culprit, I restarted and deleted everything in IMAPmail\localhost\ (DavMail connects via localhost stored files).

    Restart Thunderbird (always on 38.1) and connect via DavMail pulled back all messages and folders from the source Exchange to resynchronize records localhost TB successfully. No need to use backup or same setting of TB.

    Will probably now improve return to 38.1 after a period of stability.

    After years of use of Thunderbird of the dowry of the year, it's nice to know that it was not primarily at fault.

  • Windows 10: After installation

    9 days ago I installed Windows 10 successfully on my iMac end-2012. I wonder since if I still need to keep my USB Flash drive plugged after installation. I have kept in just in case wherever she would break something and tried to find an answer but decided to ask here. So basically what I have to keep the flash drive in my iMac or will I still be able to run Windows 10 unless it is plugged. Thanks for all who will read this and help me with this problem.

    I see no reason to keep the flash drive is plugged.

    Was this a new installation or an upgrade of Windows 10? Your order of brightness of the keyboard (and other features on the row of function keys) work? Cam sex? Touchpad?

  • After installation or upgrade to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not display the home page, personalize displays a blank page and the radio button does not work

    I am the admin of Windows for a University Department and install PC with Firefox all the time. This problem does not occur with every PC I would maintain, only a selection bit (model different laptops with Windows and update 1 8.1.) Until today, it has happened with the new user (with admin rights) accounts that I place on laptops for our staff. Today, this happened with the account administrator while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I have install Windows from a registered image that was created by using sysprep.

    I tried many suggestions to reset Firefox, removing the profile of Firefox users, removing the Windows profile users, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstall/reinstall of Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helped. After uninstalling, I run an application to delete the caches and temporary files and even remove manually the keys to register HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. I restart and make sure that the installation folder is deleted after uninstalling.

    Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial settings for migration, IE or Chrome pop up and after having clicked on the button finish, Firefox starts but does not display the home page of the new user, only a blank page. By clicking on the Options (3 bars) button does nothing. Right click in the appropriate box, the shortcut menu appears, so I can choose to customize, but which opens another tab with subject: Customize the URL and the page is blank. In the right click context menu, I can activate the menu bar and get options from that.

    My last attempt helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned, removed the profile user Firefox, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Initial start-up runs and tells me that I'm not up-to-date and the works of button Options. But I can't always customize.

    Then I upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no start page, no options button and no customization. I can go down to 30 and get customize practically works again.

    Addon only is for McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 15.1.0, just after installation is disabled.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • My seagate drive external drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan

    My seagate external hard drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan, it locks also towards the top and turns off, the ext drive when using, I have to restart my IMac 27 inches.  I have two ext hd who does very well for years before the installation of the operating system El Capitan

    If you have installed the Seagate Software, please delete and see if there is no change.

    Any third party software that is not installed on the App Store or by drag-and - drop in the Applications folder and uninstall by drag - move to the trash, is a modification of the system.

    Whenever you delete changes to the system, they must be eliminated completely, and the only way to do this is to use the uninstall tool, if any, provided by the developers, or follow their instructions. If the software has been removed incompletely, you may redownload or reinstall even to finish the job.

    I never install modifications of the system myself, and except as stated in this comment, I do not know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find this information.

    Here are some general guidelines to help you get started. Suppose you want to remove the so-called "BrickMyMac" (a hypothetical example). First of all, menu using the product, check if there is one, for instructions. Not finding here, look at the Web site, let's say www.brickmymac.com. (Maybe it's not the name real site, if necessary, search the Web for the name of the product). If you don't find anything on the Web site or in your search, contact the developer. While you are waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be a request here as "Uninstall BrickMyMac." If this is not the case, open "BrickMyMac.pkg" and look for an uninstall button. The uninstall program can also accessible by clicking on the button customize, when one exists.

    Back up all data before making any changes.

    Generally, you will need to restart the computer in order to perform an uninstall. Until you do this, there may be no effect, or the unpredictable effects.

    If you can't remove the software in any other way, you will have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third party software, unless you're sure you know how to uninstall in the contrary case, it can create problems which are very difficult to solve.

    Try to remove the complex system of changes by hunting for files by name, often will not work and can make the problem worse. The same goes for 'utilities' as the 'AppCleaner"designed to remove software.

  • Get windows error blue screen after installation Service

    I'm getting error " PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA_ (nischifk.sys)" blue screen after installing the VISION acquisition software in my OS Windows 10.

    I tried to install GO twice and got the same error.

    Awating for your valuable review

    Hi piZviZ,

    Sorry to hear about installation problems going TO that appeal to you. I guess you use going TO February 2014 or slightly earlier - can you confirm? There was a problem with one of the components, NEITHER FlexRIO going to understand which caused this exact problem on systems with a UEFI BIOS. We have since fixed the problem. If that were the problem, here are a few options:

    (1) install GO without Support IMAQ i/o for all cards of the R series (1473R, 8237R, etc.). This means that the affected FlexRIO component will not be installed.

    (2) update to a newer version of GO - I think that going TO August 2014 f1 shoots in the FlexRIO patched component that could solve the problem. If you choose to upgrade, I would recommend just upgrading to the last GO, if you are capable of: going TO August 2015 f1

    (3) keep the version of going TO you and patch the component FlexRIO: How can I get a blue screen after installation OR FlexRIO 13.1?, NI FlexRIO 13.2.0 Patch détails

    I recommend just update to the latest going TO if possible.

    Kind regards

    @ Otto Davis

    Are what plug-in "TM" you referring?

    And, no, it does not protect against the 'hacking' or viruses.

    Be sure to have an antivirus installed, & always up to date and scan application at least once a week.

    In addition, beyond that, you must practice safe use pc surf / safe.

    Some of the most common infections of malware are 'facilitated' If you have outdated version of the Java, Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave Player, and Adobe Reader.
