    I thought I was doing the right thing, but now it is clear that I was not properly clean even if I was very gentle. Why the screen lights up or really light up at all. Completely black and the keyboard does not light either. Someone has an idea? Thank you

    Unfortunately, vacuums are very statically charge and their use within electronic devices is usually not a good idea. It is very possible that the discharges of static electricity has damaged your iMac.

    I hope that you unplugged the iMac before cleaning. Make sure that the iMac is reconnected.

    Hold the Apple store nearest to the assessment of the iMac.

  • My iMac does not illuminate

    I hope someone can help me. Trying to turn my iMac and appearance of the white apple logo and it seems that it is loading, but then the screen goes black.

    There is no edge loading, also the fan does not start. What can I do?

    From your description, it sounds like a hardware failure.

    However, try to start on the (command-R) recovery Partition on boot and if you can open disk utility and run repair disk or First aid (depends on the version of Mac OS X installed) and see what happens.

    If you cannot start the Reccovery Partiton, which pretty much confirms a hardware problem and then the next step is a repair.

    If you are covered by the warranty or the AppleCare, so just take the machine to your Apple Store or FSAA to repair.

    1. Connect the hard drive to a USB port on your Mac.
    2. Open disk utility.
    3. On the left side of the disk utility window, select your external drive (or one of its partitions).
    4. Click the delete or delete button on the toolbar.
    5. On the Format menu, choose Mac OS extended (journaled).

    WiFi button does not illuminate.  I rebooted the phone.  How can I make this button of the device?

    You can always update your firmware with iTunes. But it seems you might have a larger, likely hardware problem with your phone.

    Try to restore the firmware with iTunes. If this does not help, make an appointment with a genius at the Apple Store.

  • iMac does not start after 10.11.6

    Since the 10.11.6 patch my IMac does not start with my hub plugged.

    Everyone

    I assume you mean a USB hub? What does do when it's plugged in? It starts successfully when the hub is not plugged? If so, I would say that something is wrong with the hub or there is a problem with the port it is plugged or something plugged into the hub.

    Try to plug it into a different USB port on your Mac.

    any suggestions?

    Hello

    On this virtual path, it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis. All you can do is to unplug the power plug, remove the battery and leave it for a while. Then press the power button and hold it for 15 or 20 seconds.
    After doing this connect the power running and try to start again.
