What are the signs of a power cable going bad?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Reset the SMC and PRAM 2-3 times then retest. Power cables rarely go bad, so unless yours has had undue stress (like an animal eating it) then I would count out the power cord.

Thank you! I think it worked, time will tell...Its odd, though, I had installed the latest software updates (finally) and had this issue almost immediately. My iPad was the same, after updating it, and I had to do the iTunes reboot thing. ...I also updated my iPhone, and it has been very slow loading websites ever since. Hence, this is why why I put off installing the updates.
I'm having intermittent problems with my iMac powering up. It acts "dead" but then I unplug it from the power source, plug it back in again, and it is fine. Is this an indication that my power cable is going bad?
