- 27" Mid 2011 iMac running OSX 10.9.2 | 2.7GHz Inter Core i5 | 8GB Ram | w/External 32" Monitor
Hi there, I've currently got a mid 2011 27" iMac running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2
All is well usually, I really try and look after my mac ( I use it to work from home so can't afford not to ), however today it's acted up completely out of the blue.
I haven't changed anything/installed/uninstalled anything, but I finished some work earlier, turned the Mac off completely ( or so I thought ), went downstairs to make a cup of tea and chat with the wife. Came up half an hour later as I was going to turn it back on and quickly do something, when I noticed that it was still on the black screen with the really faint spinning logo in the bottom third of the screen ( the screen that usually shows for a split second before it's completely turned off. )
Can anyone shed some light on what on earth is going on here? It works absolutely fine when turned on, a tad more sluggish booting up admittedly than what it usually is, but seems to run fine. Really worrying me though that it seems to be struggling to boot down...
