Praise the Lord! We’re running on a new 160gig internal hard drive. I’ll let Dave tell the rest of the story (later).
The next morning (after the previous post) when I tried to start up the computer (after running flawlessly for two hours) it could not find anything… I got a light blue screen with a flashing question-mark folder, teeny-tiny, in the middle of the screen. None of the hotkeys did anything upon re-booting. Lo and behold, [...]
Okay, here’s the skinny on the iMac.
Yesterday, Jennifer and I took an excursion to Barton Creek Square Mall. Our intent on making this trip was to purchase a copy of DiskWarrior, and so we did. While we were at the mall, we did several other things which might be considered [...]
So we bought DiskWarrior today. We made a trip out to the Barton Creek Mall today and ended up in the Apple Store, where we ended up with a copy of DiskWarrior in our hands and . . . we bought it. We figured the extra $20 that Apple charges was worth the convenience of [...]
After much discussion, via forums of various sites, we have decided to invest in DiskWarrior to repair our B-tree, but we will be waiting on my pay day. In the meantime, the iMac will continue to need two start-ups each time to get it running from the LaCie disk which actually still [...]
This is the iMac the day it died. It had been sitting there for about an hour when I finally got impatient enough to manually turn the thing off. Before I pressed and held the power button, I snapped that picture. No spinning thingy under the apple. At least it was a pretty screen [...]
Okay, here’s what I know about the iMac and its woes.
The first time the iMac had troubles, I thought that it was related to my having recently repaired the permissions on the internal hard drive. Upon using the disk utility software that comes with OS X Panther, I discovered that my “B-tree” was corrupted [...]
Yes, the iMac is sick. Very sick. It might be dying. We think it is dying. A very slow and painful death process it has been for all three of us. The iMac. David. Me. There are few things we know for certain, but we will be setting up a new category for the costs [...]
Last night, David took me to the monthly CapMac meeting with an iBook in tow and some burrito in our bellies. Their meetings are held in the new Pharmacy Building on the UT campus, so we had the time of our lives parking at UT [...]
We literally have a “like new” iMac. All of the software is new (which came with Panther, that is) and none of our passwords (uh-oh) or preferences are saved… but it’s so much faster! I think we have decided to only store software on the actual iMac hard drive, but to save all our files [...]
For those of you wanting to keep on top of the iMac situation, here is David’s topic so you can read what’s happened in the last few days.
(Oh, yeah, and in case you’re wondering where I am posting from… I am at the church)
We may be offline for a short or very long amount of time. It seems our iMac is having some major hard drive problems and is becoming more and more unstable. David could use your prayers right now as he tries to deal with all of the different error messages and new things that don’t [...]
