20 Most Recent Apple iMac M6709LL/B Desktop Questions & Answers

IP= Internet protocol it would have numbers like 192.10.10.10 or what ever range the isp uses. If the first 3 numbers have a 169. whatever you are not connected.

must be too old to network ....

You can try logmein (logmein.com) or Go To My PC (gotomypc.com), which allow you to remotely access your desktop as though you were using it directly. Not sure if it is compatible with an older machine like the original iMac, depending on what OS you are running on it.
Alternately, you could use something like Dropbox to share files between the two, if that is what you are really after. Dropbox (dropbox.com) keeps a copy of your files in a secure folder online, which can be accessed from many computers, and is kept in sync automatically.

First thing to do is test (and then almost certainly replace) your ten-year-old logic board battery. If the battery is dead, the power button won't function.

The CRT may be blown, or the circuitry for the CRT is awry.

It is most likely your power supply. You can try buying one and changing it out. But it sounds like its the power supply, and don't keep trying to turn it on, if the supply comes through weak or bad-sine it can harm the motherboard.

I am assuming that you are running OX S so it sounds like the system is corrupted. What I would do is to get your instal disk and boot up holding down the c key on your keyboard. Once you have booted up go to the file menu and run disk utility to verify and repair the hard drive. Then go to the instal menu and instal a fresh system remembering to preserve the users data so you do not wipe anything. Hopefully this will work.

That Mac will run 10.4 Tiger, but I would recommend 10.3 Panther. You can download all updates through sofware update after the install is complete. You should be able to find installer disks on eBay for cheap.

You need to install either an "airport card" in your system or if you already have one in your computer, you need to download "airport" from the apple website. This is the only way MAC's can receive wireless signal.

It is hard to believe you do not have a browser on your laptop. These are browsers you can use. Firefox, netscape, lycos and explorer are some. If you have a friend with a computer, get them to download firefox for mac on theri computer, then get them to put it on a USB for you, take the USB and install it on your Mac. This will fix your browser issue.

Some providers make you use IE to do the initial setup. I am guessing you are running OS9 so it could be IE 5.2 for the mac. Did you get a valid ip? Can you tell me who your isp is and I can look up what you need.

If you are using DHCP it should get one when you start your computer. I am not sure your computer skills but I have seen people plug a phone cable into the dsl modem so make sure you have an Ethernet cable pluged into the ethernet port. Sorry if you knew that but I have seen it before. One other question does your provider require a certain browser to get setup first? Under OS9 in the system Pref folder there is a TCP/IP preference, you can trash that and reboot then go back to control panels and reset your settings to ethernet/ using dhcp.

Yes it can be done if you are in OS9 under your apple menu control panels you will see a Tcp/ip setting. In there change the setting to modem built in then put in the phone number you wish to dial and it should work. There also use to be a setting called free PPP that would work also.

Install a new HDD. Press and hold Command, Option and R keys with a keyboard connected via USB. Power the mac on whilst holding down the keys. Release the keys when the globe shows and select your router code then download the OS for your mac. Install the OS. It takes some time to do this!

You do not need to setup AirDrop as such. Just turn on the wifi and on the Finder sidebar go to AirDrop.

There are several causes for this:

• Dust buildup in the computer prevents proper cooling, so the fans have to work harder.
• Corrupted Power Manager chip settings. Go to the Apple support page and search for "Power Manager" "reset" and your specific model. You can get the model number from the System Profiler utility (Apple menu: About this Mac: More Info). If this is the problem, resetting the Power Manager should solve it. If it happens again after unplugging, you may need a new clock/PRAM battery;
• Bad temperature sensor (all fans run at high speed);
• Shorted fan driver transistor on the logic board or in power supply (one fan always runs at max speed).

1. in imac u first pull out the display 2. then remove the motherboard in the backside of the motherboard u see cmos battery remove the battery , replace new one
