[QUOTE="SpK, post: 720290, member: 66381"] I bought an iBook G3 on ebay running OS X Tiger. It was working perfectly well, but then I opted to see if any updates were available. The 'auto updates' recommended that I download an update for the OS which I accepted. But after the subsequent reboot I was unable to get past the logon screen: I see the Apple logo and 'MAC OS X', but I don't see the user or password fields or any 'buttons' and cannnot now login. What can I do to resolve this? ps... ~ Prior to the upgrade the login was bypassed at startup. ~ I reckon that the iBook was originally used in Asia as the previous userid was displayed with Chinese or Japanese looking fonts. ~ iBook came without any system disks. Have I simply wasted my money? [/QUOTE]
