brian_johnstone Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Ok so a little background, i recently bought a samsung NC-10 with osx already installed and running. i had never used a mac before and have been interested in building on for some time. so got this to feel the water and see if i liked it. however, It just told me that i needed to update and being foolish i pressed the wrong button and went ahead and started it. The update took a while and then the nc-10 restarted, got to the apple logo and then restarted. it just does this continually until i switch it off. My question is, is there a way to roll the laptop back a few hours to the working state that it was in? or do i have to go through the entire install procedure? many thanks in advance. Brian.

Foxic Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 There is no way to roll back unless you took a backup via Time Machine, or an app like Carbon Copy Cloner. All is not lost yet though. Reboot and type -v at chameleon, hit enter and watch the text fly! This is a verbose output, it prints the boot process to the display. Take a photo of the kernel panic (equivilent of a windows BSOD) and post it here. You can tell it's paniced when you see 'Uptime in nanoseconds: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
