[QUOTE="markymark, post: 785756, member: 81449"] Help please! I have an 14month old 15" MBP with 2GB extra RAM. Running latest OS X. No problems up until now. I had my IPod 5th gen attached as a extra HD and tried to open a movie from it. I could still use the mouse but all the icons were frozen. Tried to shut down from the Menu, but it refused to shut down. So I did a forced shutdown with the power button. Now when I try and power up again the apple 'groan' and the logo appear, then shortly after a gray 'shutter' comes down over the screen and a message appears in multiple languages saying 'restart your computer'. So I do - and the message appears again - ad nausea! Tried the PRAM reset and the battery in / out tricks, and removing the extra RAM - all no help! I'm in the middle of the Australian outback and have no Mac! HELP ANYONE! Many thanks :) [/QUOTE]
