- MBP Retina mid 2015 15.4" 16GB 2.5 GHz OS Monterey; iPhone 12 128gb; iPad Mini 5, 64gb
I have a MacBook Pro 15", late 2011, running OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
I am at the end of my tether after a kernel panic 10 days ago (child messed with keyboard, I know, I know...). I can follow instructions but am not a Mac expert and have now exhausted all suggestions garnered from the internet to fix problems - system crashes when I try to open apps such as iPhoto and iMovie; unexpected crashes (such as when trying to open a link from a web page and shut downs. After this a disk verification shows volume discrepancies.
Can anyone please help to restore my Mac to its formerly reliable state?
I have done:
* PRAM reset to get the trackpad into working order (it was going haywire)
* several disk repairs from my installation disk (volume discrepancies were mentioned most often)
* pulled iPhoto to Trash and reinstalled from apps disk
* downloaded the 10.6.8 update combo from Apple (today)
* repaired disk permissions (today).
After doing the last two this afternoon I tried to open iPhoto - CRASH....
