Re: iMac wont start - shows a no-entry sign on grey screen

Hey Matt, This sounds all very encouraging. I'm so pleased you have got your data back and backed up. I would do another bootable backup of your whole system if you are able to, onto another external HD if you have a spare. The HD on the iMac could still be failing and since it is still under

iPod Touch

Hi Everyone, Just on the off chance that someone knows somewhere that is having a sale on iPods, or if any of the retailers on the list have some iPod touches they're trying to clear (doesn't need to be the latest model), I'm looking to get one for my 9/10 year old daughter for Christmas. I'm no

Re: iMac wont start - shows a no-entry sign on grey screen

Well, Roger & Ronni things are getting stranger. I thought in light of last nights improvements in the response, that before I took it up to Macworx, I would run Disk Utility on it one more time. I booted from the External HD and the 931.5 GB WDC etc Disk icon appeared with only Verify Dis

Uprade from 10.4.11

Having decided to upgrade to Snow Leopard using a Mac Box Set I initially found there was insufficient disk space for the installation. I've now done some MacBook housekeeping which has freed up the required space. I have done a back up and repaired permissions. Is there anything else

Re: Growl App - Console Log warning

Ronni Thank you for your instructions on removing Growl. Like Alan, I also was puzzled as to where this had come from, and why it kept appearing on my desktop "A newer version of Growl is Available. Click to Install". I could not establish what it was for. You would not believe it - I thou

Re: Growl App - Console Log warning

Ok thanks Alan. Your query as to how Growl was installed, Drop Box does install growl but it warns you about it. There is a checkbox during the install asking if you want Growl. you must have just clicked through it ;-) Some other add-on utility type apps. also install Growl (or ask if you want

Thanks Ronni 1. I will uninstall Growl as next job. 2. Reference to File Manager was a faux pas - it has revealed my very long MS Windows experience! 3. Maxtor HDD software: not installed - the only files on the HDD were to do with displaying the Maxtor icon. These were deleted before I f

Hi again Alan, I would get rid of Growl ... You don't need it, and It doesn't play well with Snow Leopard. Growl preference pane: It sort of works, but you need to restart System Preferences into 32-bit mode. The whole app is only 32-bit. If you don't believe me ...

RE: Growl App - Console Log warning

Hi Ronni (1) I am relieved that Console is just doing its job and that I can stop worrying and just quit it. (2) Thanks for the Growl uninstall instructions. I will probably do so, but I will do a little research to see what it really does, if I can benefit from it, and how it arrived on

Hi Alan, I was rushing to finish another support job I'm on, and didn't have time to explain why you are seeing Console. When you requested the DiskUtility.log it opened Console, so you could view the log. While your computer performs tasks, it sends messages between applications, processes, an

Hi Matt Yes your HD has failed :( do you have Applecare on it still? You will need a new HD and as Joe said they maybe a chance to recover some data if you but the drive in an external case. But of course the most important thing is to get a new HD :) If we can help any more please ask. Ro

Re: iMac wont start - shows a no-entry sign on grey screen

Me again! If your or any ones HD is defective do not discard it without disabling it. There are a number of ways of doing this. If you have access to an electric drill, drill a hole about 1 inch (2.5 cm) off the center of the HD. This will ensure that no data can or will be recoverable. Cheers, Jo

Hi Matt, The system showing the grey screen with a no-entry sign, indicates the computer cannot boot the system. I hope it is not what I fear, the most probable cause is a dead hard drive. If you can boot from the DVD that came with your iMac (as Roger has suggested) or the install DVD of your
