What's your favorite Mac error?

I'm pretty sure we've all read the 'What's your favorite Windows error message' thread? To make it even, and to prove that Mac's are in fact, not destructiable.... What's your favorite Mac error?

Mine: Something about plugging your USB device into another port as the one I had it in could not power it. Not really an error, but it works.

Ive never had an error on a mac
only msn has had to close unexpectedly

im sure the older macs had some good errors

simiple, about the only one i ever get. "the application has unexpectedly ended" or something like that. it pops up maby once a day and i don't even pay attnetion to it anymore.

The copy time error in System 9:

"1,234,567 minutes"

:bomb:

I have no "favorite" "errors".

just thinking
why will i have a favourite error
an error is when something goes wrong
and its annoying!!!

we should restate this thread as "What's your least favorite Mac error?"

i agree

Not really an error on my Mac's part, but I'm gonna say when Firefox just suddenly won't load a page. I then have to quit, start using Safari, and just wait a little bit and hope it works. (The little "loading wheel" in the upper right hand corner just won't spin.)

Why was everyone putting their input into the favorite Windows error then? I don't think they enjoyed the errors either?

Yes, I agree. That's why I created the "What's your favorite Windows error" thread. But I respect the fact that IceCreamMan wants to keep it fair. I just haven't had a single error with anything on a Mac, so I felt I'd make fun of Windows a little.

after installing an update and reboot i've had the mac icon frozen on the screen for a while.

The most annoying thing I've come across is when the Finder locks up when it's having trouble with a network drive.

Well I thought the guy (or girl) that is thinking about switching over to Mac might not believe the myth that Macs are indestructible... This might also convince them to switch if they see they do have errors, but not as severe as a Windows based machine.

*Hugs his G3 iMac* By far the coolest looking iMac!

That happens if you plug a USB device that needs power into the keyboard USB port mostly. That is normal.

I hope this does not get taken the wrong way and is nothing to do with you Ice Cream Man or anyone else on Mac forums.

My favorite Mac error as well as my favorite Windows error is the person sitting in the chair who thinks they know how to use a computer but really don't, so bash their machine!

I have to deal with people like that sometimes on a daily basis.

Actually, I stated on the Windows forum I haven't had an error yet on my Windows machine... Some programs just conflict with each other... Your a good guy dtravis7, so no offense taken...

I've had one of those too. Except Mine was going to take a LOT longer than that:
