Hi All
Just joined today to see if i could get some helpful info to get my Imac working again.
Brief outline of the problem.
I have an imac 27 inch 2011 model.Earlier in the week i was working on the mac and the mouse pointer froze.i thought it was just the batteries had died.i got up to get new batteries when the Imac switched off,it rebooted to a dark grey screen with a big error message in the middle in a smaller grey box.It said something along the lines of "closed due to an error" i didn't read the whole message or take down the error number.After a few minutes it booted back up,but now it only goes to a grey screen.
I have spent a couple of days googling and have tried unplugging all peripherals and rebooting that didn't work i have tried safe mode but it wont boot into safe mode i have tried Command, Option, P, and R and that didn't work.I have managed to used Command and S and that booted to the black screen and i typed fsck -fy and at first it said it had modified,so i ran it two more times and it came up with the ok message,so rebooted the imac and it still boots to the grey screen.
I have no idea what to do?
I don't think the progress bar gets right to the end before the grey screen.
I have the latest operating system for this model.
Any idea's?
I really need to get it working.
Thank you in advance.
