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!

To JohnDeere - if you're still around - what would that code do to fix the problem then? Thanks for your response.

restart holding the apple+S key. It will boot to a prompt. enter this line of script. /sbin/fsck -fy. There is a space between the k and the hyphen. when repaired type exit.

Most commonly this is because you do not have the Hard drive selected on the right hand side menu. It is not the name that you need to select but the size of the hard drive listed either above or below it. If you select this instead... the option to verify disk should become black.
If you do restart and hold down S and Apple then... type only
fsck -f (space between k and -) then enter. It will either say......HD appears to be okay......or.......File system was modified. If it was modified run it again. If it does not repair you will need to erase and reinstall. If it does repair you can type reboot to start back to the dektop.
Hope that help you. :)

That information superhighway web site might want to be in China, Iran, or Russia. Apple does now no longer authorize each and anyone to promote digital downloads of any OS that originally shipped on CD or DVD. attempt to re-examine your words: "when I put in OS X, it had no challenge recognizing the setting up disk" -- what's the "setting up disk"? Is that a CD? If it had no challenge, then what's the challenge? If a commercial CD works, yet a burned one does no longer... -- you burned it incorrect or... -- the media is undesirable constructive, or... -- the burner needs service. The communicate is moot, besides the actual undeniable actuality that, with the help of actuality Yahoo innovations does now no longer enable us to help you to're utilising unlawful (Sorry, it isn't approved) software. purchase CDs on the hyperlink less than.
