Hello all,
im having a login problem with my macbook. its the early 2008 version. i have upgraded the hard drive from the stock 200 gb to a 750 gb about 6 months ago. havent had any problems untill this past week. im stuck at the login screen! if i type my password incorrectly the little password box will wiggle like normal but when i type it correctly the screen will flash white like its going to log in but loops back to the login screen. i have tried to repair disk permissions ect. tried booting while holding shift. tried booting while holding command opt P R. nothing is helping. when i repair disk or permissions it says everything is totally fine. does anyone have any ideas? restoring is a bit out of the question because i havent backed up my computer in a bit :/ and i have too much stuff that i simply can not lose. and i cant back up now because i cant login!
any ideas would be appreciated!
2008 macbook
