I hear the initial sound, I see the apple logo and the spinning trick but it doesn't switch on. I tryed unplug all devices. And even unplug electricity. And even pressing shift at start and even pressing Comman+Option+p+r. No way it always stuck at the same point!
Help
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Try holding down "option" immediately after reboot
Try holding down "option" immediately after reboot
Attempt to reboot in the recovery partition. To do this when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option Key, select the Recovery Partition. Then select Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions at least 2x and while in Disk Utility run Repair HD. Then restart normally and ensure your internal HD is selected as the Startup Disk.
Tks kaufmann, I tryed but didn't work.
I did it twice, the problem remains equal.
Other suggestions?
Yup, sounds like a failed HD. Take it in for service.
Kaumann, tks for your time. Pressinf "Option" while switching on I can also reinstal IOS. Could this help? Does it erase the HD content? Tks
A reinstall cannt hurt and no it will not erase the HD content. However if you erase that will totally erase the HD so be careful. Either way if the HD is damaged it needs to be replaced.
