I have a Macbook A1181 Mid2006 ver 10.6.
All worked fine on my daughter's macbook / up to installing from a few apps from Itunes / kids math apps.
I did the install using the admin account; I then did a restart after the app installs and anticipated logging in with my daughter's username.
The boot screen began with the Apple in a grey background, then went into a light blue screen with the spinning circle coming and going as it spins. I held down the shut down button. Unplugged the machine, removed the battery, replace the battery, plugged in the power cable -but I keep getting this spinning wheel routine.
I did restart holding the Shift key/ and I could see the bar moving as the machine attempted to boot into safe mode, and again, the system went to blue screen with a spinning wheel.
I then did a restart with with Command + S; ran fsck -fy - and got a 'the volume appears to be OK' ; did a reboot, passed the Apply logo into spinning wheel on blue.
Let me know what to do. It is my daugher's Macbook - I have no expertise in Mac/Apple.
Thanks!
