My desktop iMac has been going south for some time since Apple decided to stop supporting it. Too bad, I see lots of interesting apps I'd like you try but I'm not sure anything can save it now.
Due to time constraints I've only just now had the time to wake this dawg up or pout it (and me) out of our collective misery.
I don't remember all the details but a couple of weeks ago I was unable to shut down and restart computer. I could not force close an app/program but not certain maybe it was Firefox. Maybe in desperation I pulled the plug but the short and long of it is that when I tried to restart computer, the bar that shows progress of opening never got past 2nd base it just sits there ad in five item appearing to do nothing. Only once was I able almost to log onto ðesktop and was asked for administrative ID AND PASSWORD which i took a stab at and got no acknowledgment or reaction so I shut it down and tried again with same result.
My question is whether there is a way to restart in safe mode assumi g i canget tho login password accepted?
For at least the last year Ivde been running the First Aid disk every month or so which managed to patch things up to work awhile longer
Should we. "give up the ghost" and lay it to rest or is there any longshot i can try?
I have no restore disk..should I play taos and be done with it. It was a good but aging computer but the extortion unit at Apple decided to play hardball hoping I'd cry Uncle and invest in and purchase a new System WHICH I WILL NOT BE DOING because over the years I was frustrated many times over by their redundant ring around Rosie demands.
If I WAS going to invest in a new desktop it would not be Apple but most likely Windows but I guess that's not relevant just a quiet protest before closing/slamming the door on YAPPLE
