Ridiculous as this may seem, is there a hard drive in the Mac, and is is properly connected? Surprisingly, I got one of the old colorful lime iMacs free from a local Freecycle (freecycle.org) for my young grandkids' use when they visit us. IT HAD NO HARD DRIVE IN IT! Once I figured that out, it was no big deal for me to install an old one that I had removed from my desktop during an upgrade. Just worth checking. --Steve At 6:31 PM +0100 1/11/07, J.M.P.Hissel wrote: >Have you already opened the case? >Is there RAM in the Mac?
