You don't need the installer disk. As someone already suggested, you need to do: 1) Reboot 2) Hold Cmd+S as soon as you hear the chime and before monitor turns into gray 3) You can take your hands off as soon as you start to see white text on black screen 4) The text stop running and will wait your input 5) Type fsck -fy [Return/Enter] 6) When finished, check if it reported something was fixed, if so, run it again until you see "appears to be OK" 7) Type reboot [Return/Enter] This is the exact command Disk Utility runs. Mind you fsck stands for File System Check, and it is not really meant to _fix_ problem. You should get DiskWarrior. I mean, anyone one depends on Mac should own DiskWarrior, in my opinion :-) >I did repair permissions and sent Hiro a screen shot of what >permissions seemed to need repair, but he says this was not the root >of the problem. The ACL error you were getting is kinda common. However, I do have a second thought on this issue. The ACL error you showed me indicates you didn't use Combo update. If this is true, I urge you to go to Apple site download section, and download Combo update and run against your OSX even though your OSX version is current. >I have also had Sleep/Energy Saver problems where the computer freezes >after being left on overnight and requires "hard" shutdown and >reboot. Seems to me that as Eric suggested, this may be part of the >problem. I sorta doubt it. When sleeping, HD head is parked so it won't damage file system by power down. Also, to anyone who has wake up problem, you should first try hitting the monitor brightness control. There is a chance your Mac is wake but brightness went to null for some reason. I have seen this. If that was the case and you powered down, you _can_ damage file system. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
