I was given an aluminum imac with the model number A1224 and EMC 2210, was not told anything about it. It comes on and the light blue apple icon screen appears , nothing happens. turning on with option held down gives hard disk icon, i click on it then click the right arrow and get light blue apple icon screen and nothing after that, when starting with 10.6.2 install disc and holding down c i get both hard disk and install disk icons, but i get light blue apple icon screen after clicking on either one, Nothing happens when trying the hardware test, starting with D held down.
What can I do to get this to boot up ?
Thanks
Steve
As the hard disk appears to be showing up when you boot up using the install disc, I would suspect that the system is somewhat corrupted. You could reinstall the system again and if you are happy starting from scratch and wiping the hard drive select this option failing that and there is some data on the imac you could install using the preserve user data. A fresh install should sort out any problems. Hope this helps.
