Well lets see where do we start. So I have a 2006 I mac (g5) i think of what it's called. it does have a plastic case and there is no glass on the screen. I called Apple and they were very kind and sent me a copy (for free) OS X 10.5.6. The machine is a Intel core machine. I cannot get into the OS of the machine it will only boot up into Windows XP Pro. The machine is Username and password protected of which my brother can't remember UGH!
The machine will bong upon start up and boot to Windows as normally. What I have noticed is that the Apple mouse and keyboard won't start working till AFTER windows has gotten to the username and password.
What have I done so far:
booting up and holding option key
booting up and holding option key pressing c
booting up and holding option key pressing s
I have tried resetting the PRAM
I have tried resetting the PMU by holding the power button and plugging in the unit
All of these things have been tried with the Apple Disc in the drive.
I have called Apple but they would like several hundred to "fix" it This computer was free given to me. I have no idea if everything works why would I spend ton of cash on a unit if I don't know if it's 100%
The only thing I know the USB bus does not boot till after windows does. I don't know what else to try so please HELP!
