Hello fellow forumites,
I just treated myself the other day and bought an 12" iBook, which was delivered to my house over the weekend. Quite a stunner too.
I have two problems that is making me tear the instructions up and am in a state of disappointment at the moment. I admit it may have been human error with me not fully reading the user guide (who does?).
I installed the Mac OS X disc 1 in the drive and awaited the following instructions. I let the download begin, leaving the iBook alone I went downstairs to cook myself a nice pasta meal for the evening.
Two hours passed and I went back upstairs to check the process, to find the screen black. I slide my finger over the pad and nothing happened. I look at the bottom, clicked the button. The battery. Gone.
I now know that the installation didn't complete and decided to put the power source in the mains and let the download run, for the second time. This time I was in my bedroom awaiting the results.
The download never finished after two attemps: last night and this morning. Both had the same problems along the way.
1. ALL the languages download go up to 85% and move on to the next language, without fully getting to 100%.
2. The download 'ends' adruptively when the message at the bottom of the screen says: "about 7 minutes" left.
I am worried that the battery cut out did something wrong or I didn't follow the directions in some shape or form. I don't have any internet access at the moment too, is this another thing I need to take note of before re-doing the download?
I can't do a search or the first aid option as the download hasn't finish and the programs such as the Office documents that I NEED to use can't be accessed.
Am I buggered up or can one of you can help me out?
Cheers.
