[QUOTE="badshoehabit, post: 1498037, member: 210116"] 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]I know, I know...[/I]). 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. [B] Can anyone please help to restore my Mac to its formerly reliable state? [/B] 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.... [I]System log from last 24 hours:[/I] [ATTACH=FULL]18757[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
