Oct 14, 2015 4:49 AM in response to BDAquaby gaylyns,It's a Mac! No ALT key. To answer, I've tried everything.

Oct 14, 2015 10:47 AM in response to gaylynsby BDAqua,Sometimes the alt key is labeled option, sometimes it has a strange charachter on it... the 2nd key from the bottom left usually... control<->alt/option<->CMD/Apple<->Spacebar.

Oct 22, 2015 3:32 AM in response to BDAquaby gaylyns,I'm sorry, but it's kind of sad that a Mac helper on this website doesn't realize that Mac has never had an Alt key. No "sometimes" about it. You still didn't answer my question reliably or respond to my saying I've tried everything. No need to respond again. Thanks just the same.

What's sad is that you don't know that a Mac has an alt key. What is even sadder - and I know you don't know this - but you are dissing one of the most helpful, knowledge members of this support community.
Take a look at your keyboard again. Take a closer look.

If you've tried "everything" then there is no hope, it will never work again, and there was no point in posting. As no one here is psychic we don't know what is included in your "everything."
Regarding the ALT key:

Oct 23, 2015 7:54 AM in response to gaylynsby gaylyns,OK. You guys have really let me have it and I deserve it. I've been a real CAPITAL 'B'---- lately and I apologize to you all. Truly, I didn't have my information together before posting in the first place, and I truly had never seen that little alt on my keyboard until you mentioned it. Please, accept my apologies - everyone. I'm tucking in my tail and crawling back into my hole. I can't say never to be heard of again - that's a maybe. I may change my account name before returning again, however.

Oct 23, 2015 8:56 AM in response to gaylynsby léonie,Could you make progress with the start-up problem of your PowerMac?
What happens, when you hold down the alt/options key while restarting the Mac? Does it let you select a different startup drive?
-
Oct 23, 2015 10:18 AM in response to léonieby gaylyns,Only with the start up disc in the drive. It's strange.

That's not quite what the X key does. I quote: 'Start up from an OS X startup volume when the Mac would otherwise start up from a non-OS X startup volume.' (i.e. if the 'non-OSX startup volume' is the default).

Oct 24, 2015 12:57 AM in response to gaylynsby seventy one,Just wanted to say, for all that has been said, that was a handsome apology.
You are very lucky to have Leonie looking after you.
