- 20' iMac, 15" MBP
I have a 20" iMac and a MacBook Pro. The MBP wouldn't start up last week, after all possible trouble shooting I took it to the Genius Bar where my logic board was replaced. On Sunday the laptop started to freeze regularly, heated up a lot and when I rebooted it hung on the Apple loading page with the wee spinning thing. I tried all the troubleshooting and spent many hours reading threads and blogs but no luck, so I have made another appointment with the Genius Bar for tomorrow!
My last back up was 30th December 2010 and I have put one batch of photos on to the laptop since then, along with installing Apple Video Capture. Tonight I joined the iMac and MBP with the firewire cable, I followed all the instructions. My MBP has the firewire symbol displayed, my iMac shows the HD mounted - but nothing in it. If I right click and 'Get Info' I can see an accurate reading of the capacity and available disk space yet no folders/files appear - the Finder window is blank.
I have spent several hours Googling and reading to see what I am forgetting to do, but getting nowhere. Can anyone help?
thanks
