My 2011 MBP has been taking longer and longer to boot up so on Saturday I booted to safe mode and opened disk utilities and did the tried and true repare disk permissions and repare disk. There were lots of disk permission errors that seemed to rep are properly but when it had all finished, I did a check disk to find it needed to be repaired. Half way through the repair process, VoiceOver totally crashed. My daughter told me when it finished and exited utilities and restarted the system. It loaded once, voiceover didn't work at all and then on restarting once more, I got the mac version of the blue screen of death.
Luckily I have a carbon copy clone bootable backup and a time machine backup but what ever damage was going on with the internal drive, the ccc bootable works to a point but I won't be able to copy it back onto the internal as it's not totally stable. With this in mind, I'm going to live off the ccc bootable and format and reinstall ml on the internal. Any tips on where to start? Can I reinstall all my emails back into apple mail once I reinstall? Mail was crashing so I wonder if the files are even intact. Anyway, any start points would be greatly appreciated as I've never done any of this before and although I can live with having to totally fresh install and set up my system, things like importing mail, finding the gigs and gigs of samples etc that I have from MainStage and installing them in gb etc would make life and my monthly ISP limit so much easier. Thanks in advance. Danny. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
