I haven't used the iMac in a couple of years. Loads of problems that I'm starting to fix now. I had just let it go. First things first though, I need to run First Aid. According to the help menu, if the "verify" and/or "repair" buttons are grayed out, it's because it's locked and needs admin. info. But it's not locked, and I did try entering my info anyway. Lock isn't the problem. Any ideas of why I can't get First Aid to run? Thanks!

Went on vacation and turned off my computer and all the power leading up to it and everything else in the same plug-in strip, including the monitor and printer. Have been sweeping for viruses frequently and scanned just before leaving. When I got back from vacation and tried to re-boot it said "Disc Boot Failure - unable to read hard drive - please insert system disc". Turned power off several times and tried again, all unsuccessful. The memory is only about 40% full so it can't be that.

What to do?

I thought it was the power supply, so I installed a new power supply last week, then that didn't work. I then had a geek friend clean out and put thermal stuff on the cpu - he was thinking that could be the problem. That did the trick for a few days, but then I noticed that the clock and date are wrong when starting up again. Then it did it again - shut off right after the long continuous beep alarm sounds until I unplug it or turn of the rocker switch at the back of the power supppy. What else could be the problem? And how do I check it without spending tons of money on a service call?

Anyone know where I can get a relatively cheap iMac in the UK?

Needs to have above-avg specs, as I need it for professional music recording and post production. Online shopping a plus.
Preferably not a 17" - larger would be nicer...

I need to open my Dell Dimension 4600 to replace the dvd drive. What tools might I need, and what is the best way (least intrusive) to get the case open? My new drive came w/ a connector cable. should I use this or can I just reuse the old one?
Thanks

I have a Compaq desktop and was wanting to add memory and a video card to it. I would like to know who makes the best memory( I lean towards Kingston but am wanting to hear your oppinion).
I have also found out that I can watch TV over the internet and was wanting to upgrade my video card so that I could get TV quality video. I would like to stay under $100.00. I know I could spend around 400-500 and be set but I do not want to spend that much! The picture is OK but I am looking for somthing that I can watch video on full screen and still have it be clear. Also I am not in any hurry so if you think that I should wait to buy let me know. All answers are welcome.
Thank You in advance.
PS If you sell either of these I would appreciate seeing your website. All answers welcome means I am not going to report anybody for any answer. Thanks.
