iMac does not start stuck at spinning wheel

iMac Intel 24 2522 EMC 2134 and 2211

Hi everyone!

I have a big problem with my 24" early 2008 iMac.

He alsways stucks at the spinning wheel no matter what I do.

Even with the install-Disk it stucks at the grey screen with the apple and the spinning wheel .

The only thing that works is the hardware test which I start with holding D.

I think the problem is not caused by my Harddrive because I took it off.

Verboisemode shows the following:

bootcachecontrol unable to open /var/db/bootcache.playlist 2 no such file or directory

But which hardware causes this problem isn't it the hard drive? Iam very confused so please help my :)

Thanks a lot for any suggestion

And I tried to install a fresh mountain lion / lion on the empty internal hard drive .

Nothing works. :(

Soluzione Prescelta

When working to solve this problem all peripherals must be disconnected. From the verbose log it sounds like a damaged or corrupted HD.

AHT runs off a separate partition, and runs from a stripped down version of the OS - many extensions are not used.

Try disconnecting the HD and booting from an optical disk or your USB drive. If that works it again points to a failed internal HD. When these drives fail there is no "magic" fix... replacement is the only answer.

If this Answer is helpful please remember to return and mark it Accepted.

there are also light yellow vertical lines.... is it possible that there is a graphic card issue which causes the fault?

Yes - connect to an external monitor if the lines show up it's the VGU (VGC) if they don't the lines are coming from the internal display chain.. possibly the LCD.

I had this same 24" machine in yesterday. White screen, would not start up from the DVD. I changed the hard drive, put in a pre-formated and system installed drive. All now works fine. The old drive was unrepairable and overheated when using a universal adapter. I've seen this before, the bad drive seems to lock everything up on the machine. I still don't understand why it doesn't start up from a DVD till the drive is replaced.

Possibly because during POST there's power applied to it, it hangs, so the other part of the bus can't be accessed. One of, I think, the reasons that they advise to disconnect peripherals when troubleshooting boot issues.
