Hi i have an Apple PowerBook G4 and have recently just updated my software for it and once it restarted, it just gets to the grey screen with the Apple icon and a circle at the bottom that just spins round and stays on this screen and doesnt do anything
I have been on google and done some searches for some fixes and have so far tried to book in safe mode by holding "Shift" key as soon as i hear the startup sound and it just stays on the same screen. Also i have tried booting in safe mode with the text by holding the following buttons, "Shift", "COMMAND" and "V" and this is where i came across the error - "could not establish the default connection to the WindowServer".
Also i have booted into single user mode and tried a fsck -y and had to use fsck -f to perform the check in which it found some problems and resolved these so ran it again and it then said there where no more problems so tried to reboot and still can't get it to boot up.
I have also tried to boot from the cd by holding the c and the option button (separately)upon start up and it does nothing just goes to the grey apple screen.
Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks
