rollercoaster500 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Please! I needd help on my macbook! What happens is that whenever I turn on my macbook, it stays at the white screen with the white apple logo in the middle. It never changes to my log in menu that I have for my mac. If you have any suggestions, please reply! Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94633-need-help-on-my-macbook/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
macprogrammer Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hello, Here is what to try to do first: 1. Start up from your Mac OS X install CD, and Click Utilities > Disk Utility. Repair Disk Permissions and click "Repair Disk". Then Shutdown or whatever and see if the computer boots up. 2. If it doesn't, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. If you need any help, post here. I'm glad to help you. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94633-need-help-on-my-macbook/#findComment-675887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
djet Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 And don't be fooled about installing Mac Os X. Doesn't mean having to save your files elsewhere then wipe your whole comp and reinstall. You can just reinstall the system which takes about 30 mins.

I've done it before; A PowerBook G4 of mine crashed and a new harddrive was put in, and I installed fine.

rollercoaster500 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Nothings happening. First thing is that it stays at the white screen with the grey apple logo in the middle with the little wheel thing going forever. So it doesn't even boot up to the main screen or the log in screen. I can do absolutely nothing with it. PS I'm going to the apple store and get an appointment with the geniuses. So I hope they fix it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94633-need-help-on-my-macbook/#findComment-675912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
