I have a imac g4 that gets stuck on the white screen with the apple and the wheel. But it wont boot, it goes for about 45 secs then clicks off. I tried holding c or x but im using a wireless pc keyboard. Are there any alterante keys i can push that equilvant to apple keys

same problem as the rest wont boot to cd & no os on imac power-mac 4,the keyboard works at the white screen before boot.
are their any commands that you can use here other than continue or shut down?

cybob43,

do you have any other usb devices connected to the computer when you start up? If so - then try to reboot with only the keyboard and mouse connected.

What happens when you only have the mouse and keyboard connected (if you are doing that now... no worries. Just trying to figure out the order of things happening)? Same thing?
