Hi Rita,

Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.

It looks like your iMac doesn't start and you're wondering how to recover it. I know this can be a difficult situation, and there are several steps you can try.

First, be sure to try the steps in these troubleshooting articles:

If your Mac won't turn on

If a flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

If your iMac still doesn't start up, you may be able to use your MacBook Pro to recover the data on your iMac using Target Disk mode:

Share files between two computers with target disk mode

Best Regards.
