Читать книгу iMac For Dummies - Mark L. Chambers - Страница 40

Your iMac’s power switch is located on the back of the computer, at the lower-left corner of the case (as you look at the screen). Press it now to turn on your iMac, and you hear the pleasant startup tone that’s been a hallmark of Apple computers for many years now. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t immediately see anything onscreen because it takes a few seconds for the initial Apple logo to appear.

In my experience, a simple, quick press of the power button on some iMacs sometimes just doesn’t do it. Instead, you actually have to hold down the button for a count of two or so before the computer turns on.

While the Apple logo appears, you see the familiar “moving bar” progress indicator appear. That’s the sign that your iMac is loading Monterey. Sometimes the bar can take a bit to disappear. As long as it’s moving, though, something good is happening — after all, Monterey has to load file sharing, networking, and printing components (and such).

At last, your patience of a whole 5 to 10 seconds is rewarded, and you see the Monterey Setup Assistant appear.
