Hi there, I have a paper due soon and my mac crashed, please read on and give some tips;
I have a mid-2011 MacBook and it has been trusty and never giving me any trouble for 2 years!
Just today I took a picture of myself using PHOTOBOOTH and then the computer froze for 5 minutes... being the impatient **** that I am I held down the POWER BUTTON.
Now whenever I turn on my computer there is a FLASHING FOLDER ICON WITH A QUESTION MARK
I went into the "INTERNET RECOVERY" and tried to find a time-machine backup, there was none. I tried to go into "DISK UTILITY" but there was no option to "repair" only "Verify" was highlighted... I went into "install OSX" and there was no option for anywhere to install it.
what do I do?
is the hard-drive dead or something?
----------
I do not have the install disk anymore
