I foolishly updated my osx to the newest version...and I don't even remember what osx version it was on, but it now is really messed up. When I start it up it goes to the osx blue screen and with the bar doing nothing. Arrow cursor moves around, but nothing happens, and I left it on for over 45 minutes.
then I tried to "safe boot", by holding down the shift key when the grey apple comes up, but it ended up just shutting down the power of the computer!
I don't know how to open the disc tray. The key board doesn't do it. I don't want to loose the info on the discs.
I use a firewire to my power book and got the discs from the G4 onto the desktop of the powerbook, but when I try to access them or perform a disc utility on them, I just get the spinning rainbow wheel of death!
please help!
thank you
