PRam reset (command+alt+p+r keys all held together when you turn on the computer) and Disk Utility's verify disk and repair permissions commands are all worth running in that situation. These do all look like bad hard drive symptoms, but forcing the housekeeping to happen with disk utility is always a good idea after any time the computer has crashed/frozen and you have needed to hold down the power button to switch it off, and also worth doing just before installing any major updates like 10.7.2 to 10.7.3
The disk utility is found in Applications then Utilities (or just search for it in any of the spotlight search bars) On 19 March 2012 03:30, MJD <[email protected]> wrote: > So just on my dodgy MacBook.
