Someone gave me an iMac G5.  It is in very good condition but it has
trouble booting up.  When I hit the power button, it chimes, the large
grey apple icon appears, and the small pinwheel is spinning but that
is as far as it goes as it does not boot up to the desktop.

Boot into Safe Mode (hold down the shift key). That will force it to clear and rebuild the kernel caches.
