Start here:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD
Restart the computer and after the chime hold down the Command and R keys until the Utility Menu appears.
Repair
When the Utility Menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the indented (usually, Macintosh HD) entry from the the side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait for the process to finish, then quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
If that doesn't help, then try this next:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Be sure to backup before proceeding.
- Restart the computer and after the chime hold down the Command and R keys until the Utility Menu appears.
- Choose Disk Utility from the Utility Menu and click on the Continue button.
- After Disk Utility loads select the indented (usually, Macintosh HD) entry from the side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button.
- When the process finishes, quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu.
- Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
And, if that doesn't help:
Install Lion Through Mavericks from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files.
- Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Apple logo appears. Wait for the Utility Menu to appear.
- Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
- After Disk Utility loads select the volume (this is the indented entry, usually Macintosh HD) from the side list. Click on the Erase tab in Disk Utility's main window.
- Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button
- When the process has completed quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu.
- Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
This will install the version of OS X you had installed.
The above all assume you can boot from a functioning Recovery HD. If you cannot, then what you do next will depend on exactly which iMac model you have.
