    imac restore help!

    Command+R
    Holding C
    Holding CMD


    None of these do anything.

    Any idea where to go next?

      Perhaps "CMD+C" minus the quotes & plus?[emoji848]

              The mac will boot off a USB or Windows DVD but not the imac DVD or a mac USB I created.

                  Did you try the key combo I suggested at startup???[emoji848]
                  "CMD+C" or perhaps "CMD+D"

                          Is the SSD that you installed specified to be compatible with that mac??? Additionally when you do the key combinations, you have to hold down all the specified keys at once!!![emoji57]
