Newgy Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Okay - So here is the story. The other day , I was able to get OS X installed on my PC. With not all that many problems, the only major one being that I can't get my screen resolution to be fixed - but that is no biggie. Though. I spent too much time reading around the forums to find out about the 10.4.8 release. So I went and found myself a "Jas Patched" version of it. Then I upgraded. Everything was fine until I rebooted (this was last night). This afternoon - when I got home and turned on my computer, it froze between 2 and 3 minutes after everything started up (as in getting to the desktop). When it freezes - the problem isn't that it is completely frozen, but the cursor changes to the circular thing, and it doesn't let me click on it. Brilliant me, after thinking about it. Realeized that the first version that I used when I installed OS X was the Jas version. But I couldn't get it to go past the apple logo - so then I switched to the Myz version. The smart part on my behalf is the mere fact that I "patched" my Myz OSX with the Jas 10.4.8 patcher. Does anyone know what I can do? Or. Does anyone know if there is a form of a "system restore" in OS X which will let me go to before I did that? If not. I can just reinstall it - but that is another 113513513213650 million hours of my time again. (And yes. My specs of my computer meet/excel what it needs to run) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 JaS mentioned a fix that needed to be done to his 10.4.8 installer before using - it involved moving the postflight file. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=200852 If you failed to do that, you should boot your install DVD and repair permissions on your OSX partition.

Newgy Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'm really sorry if this is a completely retarded question. But how do I get into the disk utility/wherever I need to go to repair stuff? Im still learning mac. And also. Whenever I boot up OS X. It goes to the desktop - and as soon as I click on anything, it freezes. If I don't touch anything, it does it anyway.. Is there some form of a safe mode?

Rammjet Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Go to the Utilities folder and find Disk Utility (hint - hit the "D" key to move the window to the apps starting with "D") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
