Hello,
I would like to know if someone could help me. My iMac won't turn on at all...
While trying to configure my iPod, I pressed several keys (ctrl + alt + several F keys), and my computer shut down by itself..... Then when restarting, it took too long, the blue screen was showing for several minutes, so I pulled the iMac out of the socket, and now nothing works....
Does anyone have a solution?
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
Try unplugging the Mac from the back (power cord), then hold the power button down for about 3 to 40 seconds.
Plug the Mac back in at the rear and test it.
I don't know which version of Mac OS is installed, but then you can possibly check if a system repair is useful with the fsck method...

If this iMac is running a version prior to Mac OS 10.7, it would be good to attempt a repair after booting from the installation DVD. The procedure is indicated on the same page, further up.
For Mac OS 10.7 or 10.8, you access a hidden recovery partition by starting with the cmd and R keys held down. You then have a version of Disk Utility that allows repairs.
Good luck
