[QUOTE="torchy, post: 83744, member: 6076"] Lots of tips in this thread that don't work for you, pity. If it gets to the stage of a reinstall, try the Archive & Install option first so you don't have to reload all those photos. It will just slide a new system under your untouched user accounts with the previous system left in a folder called "previous systems" in the main library :girl: Trash it later if everything works. All the preferences / permissions are left intact so may not help, you have no doubt repaired them. It might be a good idea to download the combo updater from Apple first and maybe burn it to disc for a spare so it's ready to update your system. [url]http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/[/url] Some Mac users will only use the combo updater as things have gone a bit flakey for them in the past with the normal software update. I've never had a problem though. Could try installing it anyway, can't hurt and might help. Have fun with your eMac, I love mine. [/QUOTE]
