[QUOTE="ambivalent, post: 377743, member: 24374"] Wow, this ended up being a serious problem. and how did i live with my extreamly powerful imac being so slow this whole time? i told the guy i had a pinwheel from clicking on applications and he was like "whaaat!" haha. at first he wanted to blame mainmenu, third party software so scary. but- came to find that i was missing an important file in my 'receipts" BaseSystem.pkg so, we copied that from my dad's macbook and put it on mine, tried repairing disk the correct way (utilities>disk utility) but to no avail. came up with some other error message. anyways, did a buuunch of troubleshooting, restarted in all these crazy ways, tried repairing things using the install disk.. to no avail. needless to say I am now typing this on the macbook while my poor imac is archiving and reinstaling os x. :( and i have a case number thank god for applecare :) haha I'm hopeing that Shapeshifter and Candybar will be in the archive? anyone done this before? Im pretty excited to be starting over acctually. everything will be nice and clean. eeeek... i hope it shows what app's i had though. :D [/QUOTE]
