I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro.
Within the last week it started running slowly.
Then all of a sudden it would be stuck at the apple loading screen forever.
I did just about everything I could find on the Internet.
Now it takes about 5 mins to get through the loading screen and pops up onto the user log in screen. I type in my password and it'll suddenly turn the whole screen white for a few mins. Then it'll just go back to the log in screen, requesting my password again.
So I restarted it, again. Now instead of almost instantly bringing me back to the log in screen, it just sits there with a big white blank screen. But I can still see and move my mouse around just fine.
Does the mean I have operating system problems or hard drive problems?
I haven't tried to put in the start up discs you get with the Mac, because I really don 't know where they are at the moment.
Help?
