Hi
First off, I am new here, my guess is theres answers for my problem and I will search for them. Im kind of at my wits end with this, im in the middle of a job and most of the data needed is frozen inside my Imac
The OSx is snow leopard.
This is what I did:
I was downloading data into an Memory stick, the computer started acting weird and slowing down ( showing the colored wheel) so I shut it down via the back button.
When I restarted the comp did not go further of the white/silver screen with the apple.
I tried starting in various modes suggested in the internet to no avail (pressing shift, control S, control plus something else P and R)
Ended up inserting the disc and starting via pressing C into Disk Utility
Tried to repair to no avail
Bought a seagate tb2 external hard drive and disk utility wont allow to back up to the seagate
I am no expert on computers, not even close..
I am trying to back up the Imac in order to restore the OS X
Need to save mostly photo files..
Is there a way to see them and transfer them to the external?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!
Need help..badly..
