Hello,

My iBook G4 will not boot up right, it just gets stuck on the same screen (see attached). I have turned it on and off, took the battery out and replaced it and still nothing...

Has anyone get any ideas? Eg, troubleshotting methods...?

The system may just be bad. I had a Mac Mini that literally took 40 minutes to boot. A quick reinstall of 10.4 fixed that quickly.

Make sure you have a backup of anything important before you reinstall!

Is it possible to back my things up...? Just i can't get onto the Mac at all...?
