I have a 2010 13'' Macbook Pro 2.26Ghz Toshiba 500gb HD 8GB RAM
running OSX Lion
yesterday, I updated my software with Apple's latest bundle, some kind of general update, and began to notice things going haywire.
First: My mail app would not open.
Second: The computer preferences would not open
third: The computer now freezes upon startup (it freezes at the white screen with the apple logo, no rotating progress wheel below the apple) and will not advance any further. It will literally sit on that screen for an hour.
I can hold the option key and boot to my "Backup Disk" and access all of my utilities, but cannot boot up normally to my main drive.
PLEASE HELP.
