When you boot your iMac a finder window opens and the spinning wheel appears you cannot close the Finder window except by using the Command Option Shift Esc keys but then the Finder window returns?

Shut down the computer for at least 10 to 15 minutes. That should delete any temporary files in Ram then try rebooting.

Secondly, disconnect everything from the iMac except the keyboard. You should use the ORIGINAL Apple keyboard that came with the computer for the most effective troubleshooting. Reboot and see if that helps.

Thirdly, if you have an Install/Utility DVD that came with your computer NEW then start up from it and select the "Utility"'s menu and open "Disk Utility" and and select "Repair disk".

Do not use the "Repair Permissions" on the DVD as the later OS versions on your boot disk have been updated with the Apple Updates and the DVD of course does not get updated and does not have the latest version for the OS updates and is not going to be able to work right.

If it came with DVD's then you should have a "Hardware" checker DVD you can use to check your hardware for any issues.

If you have 10.7 and above then reboot into the Repair partition and do the same. You should be able to use the "Repair Permissions" on the Repair Partition.

If it still doesn't work then make sure you have at least 10 to 20 gigs of free space on your drive. The operating system needs at least that much to use as virtual memory to store stuff that is used fairly often and to expand and use all the Software Updates from Apple and other 3rd party company's in the background.

If you still can't get it to work then you may have to buy a disk repair utility like DiskWarrior, TechTool Pro or something similar.

Some cause's are loose Ram boards that were recently installed, hard drive starting to die, USB peripherals going bad, etc.

How do you install Portal 2 on a mac from disc?

For best results, start by throwing away the mac and get a good PC.

I always thought the Mac was a good PC, but what the hay....

To answer the question, just insert the disk and it will either automatically start an installer or just click on the icon, or the installer in the window, that shows up and it will start the installer that way. Just follow the instructions and you should be good. The default folder for most installers will be your "Applications" folder.

What are the special features of chrome os?

Google's Chrome OS is a Linux based operating system specifically designed to work with web applications. It will have an integrated media player for playing audio and video files and can access applications stored on other computers remotely. It will not be available on its own and will only be found on products, such as laptop computers, made by Google's hardware partners.

If you want to write a letter you use Google docs, if you have got these awesome pictures from your holiday you plug it in and open it with picasa. If you want to play a game you use the chrome web store. Pretty much the only special feature is it would take less then ten seconds to boot and its lightning fast, its the future of cloud computing. Google chrome is the web.

In no particular order

It is under GPL, an open-source license that protects the authors from commercial abuse of their code by others. Much of the traditional Linux software stack is written with this in mind, which deeply affects the software politics involved in Linux

It works with the most software and on the most hardware. It can run on anything from a smartwatch to a supercomputer. Indeed many supercomputers use Linux.

It is free. Not just free to use and download, but free to learn from, improve upon and code for. The source is open for all to review; as such you can see how complex programs are built, often easily since the most popular projects are well documented, owing to the contributor nature of GPL and opensource.

What is an example of a netforce?

More than one force can act on an object at once. For example, two people could push on a book at the same time. One person could push toward the left and the other could push toward the right. In this case the two forces would act against each other. If the force toward the left was greater than the force toward the right, then the prevailing force would be toward the left. The strength of this prevailing force would be the difference between the strengths of the two separate forces. In this prevailing force is called the net force. Basically, the word net means total. For example, if one person pushed the book with a force of 20 Newtons toward the left, and the other person pushed the book with a force of 18 Newtons toward the right, then that the net force would be 2 Newtons in size and directed toward the left. Here is a picture showing those forces:
