I have a mac iBook G4 it is 3 or 4 years old until this morning never had a problem. I have spent the last 4 hours reading everything I could find, and not found the answer.
The problem:
1. Turn computer on at button
2. Chime sounds
3. Blue Screen with apple comes on wheel is spinning
4 goes to next blue screen "starting Mac OS X..." Blue status bar makes it all the way to the end and nothing happens it just stays there.
This is what I've done to try and fix
1.Tried starting in safemode using the left Shift, this didnt work.
2 on restart I hit Command and S to try to boot system through this. but now I'm lost.
I have a meeting in the morning and of course everything is on my mac with no way of getting to the backup.
At moment having to use my girlfriends pc to submitt this thread.
Thanks in advance
Justin
