Re: IMac problem.

Hi Tony, Another opinion. My 27” 5K iMac is in a room with airconditioning turned off. I am not “working” the mac at this time - I did my photo edits last night. The ambient temperature in this room is now 35.4 degrees. Mac specis say max ambient temp for a Mac is 30 degrees. Unless the

Hi there, I thought I explained that I did already boot to Recovery and re-installed high sierra but it made no difference. Yeah...the lack of backup is going to be ...difficult. My husband’s uncle didn’t consider it at all. Lesson learned I hope Rosemary On Fri, 22 Dec 2017 at 22:43, Ronda

Re: iMac problem

Hello Rosemary, Did you actually get through with Command + R? You can do a recovery which basically reinstalls OS X but keeps your files in tact. It's kind of like Windows system restore. If that fails and ‘NOT having a backup’ … could be a hard lesson learnt! Cheers, Ronni  Ronni Brown’s

iMac Problem

Hi all My nephew has an older 20 iMac that has been giving him problems for some time, and is now starting to hang randomly. Disk utility fixed a few minor problems, but revealed nothing crucial. A hardware test from the original MacOSX 10.4 disk reveals an error code 4MOT/2/4004:HDD -

Re: iMac Problem

The error code mentioned is a fan sensor failure, the fan could still but running but would need to test on the bench. Would require either a new fan or a new logic board depending where the issue stems from, The hangs would be from the drive getting hot due to lack of cooling -- Craig Bruce

Re: iMac Problem - hardware?

The problem has been fixed - it was a faulty hard drive that was messing up the whole system. Thanks to the Joondalup store for sorting this out and organising the replacement. Cheers Mike Fuller On 03/11/2008, at 8:22 AM, Peter Hinchliffe wrote: On 01/11/2008, at 5:53 PM, Mike Fuller

Hello WAMUGgers We are having issues with an iMac upgrade where there may be a corrupted hard drive. 2001 Snow G3 iMac, 20gb drive 500GHz Was running 10.2.5 but not seeing some external drives. Not had permissions repaired for years. No DiskWarrior or any system maintenance for years.
