I STRONGLY urge you to back up everything now, as in my experience this is only going to get worse, until your Mac won't boot at all. I have just gone through this with my late-2006 iMac, which is under AppleCare. After three unsuccessful attempts to repair my iMac over the last four weeks (attempts that included a new optical drive, a new video card, and a new motherboard), Apple is throwing in the towel and sending me a replacement. FYI, one thing I have learned (besides the value of AppleCare) is that inability of your machine to boot does not necessarily mean that you have no access to the hard disk. Mine will no longer start up off the internal HD, an external cloned HD, or the install DVD, but it will start up in FireWire Target Mode, and I was able to copy all my files off before handing it over to FedEx. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
