I shut off the iMac but I don't know how to turn it on. It's my dad's and I have little to no info but he bought it recently. He also has a Mac mini.
Sorry this question seems so stupid but I've looked everywhere for a power button but there is none. If someone could lead me in the right direction it would be great.

What year is it?
 
Power button is on the back:

As you're looking at the screen, the on button should be on the back panel on your bottom left.

Give that a go!
 
Ah, then you're not looking at an iMac, but a computer hooked up to the Apple HD display. Try searching around for the computer (likely a Mini, or possibly a Mac Pro) and turn that on
