I usually repair permissions/verify disk once on a while (if I'm bored and have nothing to do). However, just now, I reparied permissions (no problem) and verified disk, and this is what happened (never happened before) What's going on here? Is it something serious? This has never happened to me before, and I don't really know what to do (but it says somehwere that I should restart on the Mac OS X Install disc? Some insight would be appreciated! Thanks.
do not pass go do not collect $200 and do not do anything else untill you BACK UP YOUR DATA as for what your exact problem is whenever the mac says something in 'red' it usually means something serious are you covered by applecare & the likes? if so- it is worth the phone call or wait around the forums and see what the gang says. i'm betting you will need to do a clean install -erase the whole stinkin HD...then load in system software in case- backing everything up will be the first step.
