[QUOTE="macntroublehelp, post: 933068, member: 129443"] [b]Need help also[/b] Sorry if this is not posted in correct place. Hi, Please help if you can. I have a 2 year old macbook. I have never had problems with it until a few nights ago. I was watching some videos and it started to freeze up on me. I turned off my macbook by holding down the power button. I left it alone until monring. When I tried to turn it on again I found myself at the gray screen with the apple and spinning wheel. First it would just stay here for 30+ and not do anything. I have tried to reset the Pram and start in Safe mode by selecting down shift after the inital chime. Nothing happens. Now I try to power on, goes to same gray screen with spinning wheel and quickly turns off. I am currently away from home and my install discs. I need to use my macbook now and I also want to make sure I do not lose the information I do not have backed up. Do I need my original discs? Can I have someone burn me a copy and mail them to me? This way I do not risk losing the originals in the mail. Or can I try something different without having my install discs. Please help in any way you can. It will be greatly appreciated. My email is [email]macntroublehelp@gmail.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
