So I started with the Archive install (where it saves my settings) that went OK, OSX started right up which was nice, but I was still getting the HUGE power button all the time.like every 30 min. OK, So I did a lot of stuff over the weekend, and my problem is STILL not fixed. There are so many people here with years and years of background in trouble shooting Macs that can help!!!!!! Post back if you need further assistance. go here for help switching from Windoze to Mac: diskutilities/onyx.html Download, install and use once a week.Īnd. DU is here: Applications/Utilities.Īlso, if you haven't used a good disk utility that can help keep caches and logs cleaned out. Now, when you reinstall 3rd party software, make sure and run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions after EACH install. If it were ME, I'd ERASE and start from scratch. Grab your system restore disks and either Archive or Erase. So relax, back up your files the best you can.

If you need to reinstall the version of Mac OS X that was on your computer when you purchased it, or if you need to restore all the software on your computer, including Apple, bundled third-party applications, and printer drivers, instructions are in the manual that came with your computer.įor more information, visit the Mac OS X Install and Upgrade Support website at Considering you have so many issues going on simultaneously, do either an Archive and Install or and complete Erase. If you purchased a standalone version of Mac OS X, these installation instructions are in a booklet included with Mac OS X.

This started last night, as I have re-doing my ENTIRE iTunes library since iTunes 7.3 KILLED it (again, not happy) I was down to the "S's" in the list, and BOOM, windows started shutting down, PC hung up, so I restarted and this is now where I sit.Īnother recent problem is that the iMac REFUSES to boot if I have my USB Hard Drives turned on, so get this, EACH AND EVERY time I reboot, I need to shut them off, then let OSX boot, then turn them on. If I leave it at this mysterious wallpaper nothingness for long enought, I get that HUGE power symbol and the note saying I need to restart my Mac, which I do, and again, NOTHING. I have restarted this stupid thing so many times in the last few days I can't even tell you. Option + Apple + ESC does nothing, Verify Disc (pre-boot) didn't help, Repair Disc didn't help.
The Mac boots up, gets past the Apple Logo, Gets to a blue screen, then gets to my wallpaper (IE desktop) and THAT'S IT! It will not load Icons, dashboard, NOTHING. I'm really starting to get mad at switching from Windows, I did this to avoid this kinda CRAP, and now it's starting to really wear thin on me.
