Re: Turning on the I-Mac

[Tracy Duffy]

I'm sure this must have been answered long ago, but with my Imac it's on the 
back of the machine and on the left extreme of the back at that. Hope you got 
your machine going and that all is well. 

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not get bent out of shape.

Re: Turning on the I-Mac

[Mike Arrigo]

Welcome to the world of the mac. First, go ahead and complete the mac set up if 
you have not already done so, you will not be able to get in to voice over 
utility until you get to the desktop. If you know where the function key is, 
you can hold it along with control option F8 to get to the voiceover utility. 
Otherwise, open system preferences, it's in the apple menu and choose keyboard. 
There is an option there to use the function keys as standard keys, check that 
and you should be good to go.

Re: Turning on the I-Mac

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi!

Another thing that may be useful is to add System Preferences to your dock. 
This can be done by going to your Applications folder with Command-Shift-A, 
then typing the first few letters of System. Then, when you are on it, hit 
Command-Shift-T to add it to the Dock. Incidentally, you can also locate System 
preferences in the dock if it is running and not yet added permanently to the 
dock, then hit VO-Shift-M to bring up its contextual menu. This will display 
all the categories contained within System Preferences, and you can then select 
the "Options" submenu and select "Keep in dock." Additionally, even if System 
Preferences is not running but added to the dock, selecting a category from the 
dock item's contextual menu (brought up with VO-Shift-M) will open that 
particular preference pane.

Regards,
Nic

Re: Turning on the I-Mac

[Bob Hill]

HI David and all,

Well, let's see what we can find out.

When I use VO-command-right arrow, I can move to the property I want to change. 
I then move with VO-Command-up arrow, or down arrow to change that particular 
property.

To change the keyboard function key behavior, I go to system preferences by 
hitting the VO-m combination, finding the Apple menu, moving down until I hit 
system preferences, then hitting VO-spacebar on that.
Then, I hit VO-Right arrow until I get to the scroll area, then interact with 
it by pressing shift-VO-down arrow.
Then I hit VO-down arrow until I hear "hardware"
Next, I press VO-right arrow until I hear "keyboard" and then interact with 
that by hitting VO-spacebar.
Then, I VO-right arrow until I hear "keyboard tab" which should be selected. If 
not, then press VO-spacebar to select.
Now keep hitting VO-right arrow  until you hear the item related to function 
keys.
This is a checkbox which needs to be checked.
Just hit VO-spacebar on it if it isn't checked.
Then you can close the system preferences window, and now you should be able to 
use those keys to get to VO utilities, and other VO functions.

I'm not sure about the 2 f5 keys.

Again, I hope this is helpful.

Re: Turning on the I-Mac

[David McLean]

Look on the rear of the machine near the bottom on the left if you're facing 
the front of the machine.  That is where it is on the late 2009 iMac so I'd 
imagine it's near that in any case.

RE: Turning on the I-Mac

[David Griffith]

Thanks for all the help.

I am up an running now.
The Mac is so much quieter than my old rattling PC it may even cause my wife
to forgive how much I have spent on it. Some things are ridiculously easy.
Getting online was a breeze compared to the blood sweat and tears I have had
to exert on PCs over the years.
There is still obviously a learning curve.
A few initial queries.
My I-Mac shipped with Daniel as the default voice.
I think I would prefer Alex, at least for typing echo.
I have gone into voice properties by pressing VO command and right arrow but
I cannot change from Daniel in these properties. Any comments?
I cannot get into voiceover utility so it looks like I need to  change  the
function key setting in system preferences but I am getting a little lost in
these at the moment. I am trying to dig up a podcast where I am sure that
this is described in system preferences.
The final oddity at the moment is that there are 2 F5 keys on my keyboard.
Does anybody know why this would be the case?
Thanks again for the help.

Regards

David Griffith

Hi David,

If you are facing the computer, take your left hand and reach around the
back of the unit, at the bottom left corner.
Maybe 3 inches from the bottom left corner you should find a round button
almost flush with the back of the device.
The button is concave.

This is the power button.
Hope that helps.

The circle you are feeling on the front below the screen is actually the Apple

hand on the left hand side of the iMac and gently feel around to the back 
bottom corner and you should find a round power button.

David,

The circle you are feeling on the front below the screen is actually the Apple 
logo.  You will find the power button on the back of the iMac.  Place your left 
hand on the left hand side of the iMac and gently feel around to the back 
bottom corner and you should find a round power button.

Re: Turning on the I-Mac

Hi David,

If you are facing the computer, take your left hand and reach around the back 
of the unit, at the bottom left corner.
Maybe 3 inches from the bottom left corner you should find a round button 
almost flush with the back of the device.
The button is concave.

This is the power button.
Hope that helps.

Turning on the I-Mac

[David Griffith]

Dear list 

Sorry for this most basic of questions.

I have just taken delivery of my I-Mac.
I have connected the keyboard and plugged the mains but cannot feel where
the power on switch is.
There is a round smooth circle below the centre of the monitor but this does
not depress. Touching it or holding a finger down on it does not appear to
turn on the machine.

Before I start trying to scan the manuals on my PC is there anybody who can
simply tell me how to turn the I-Mac on?

Regards 

David Griffith
