heh, I sucked the dust out last night. I was quite shocked by how much there was. I'm calling up the local mac techs on monday to see if they can do anything. Having looked online at possibilities of diy video card replacement, it looks like a no go for me to do, even if I can source one.

say it ain't so! Sadly a replacement is out of my reach financially at the moment :( Especially after forking out a couple of hundred quid trying to get it fixed already. I suppose it is good news in a way in that the original hard drive is actually ok though?

If anyone has any ideas of what to try next, I'd really appreciate it!

Ok, well I got a new hard drive. A WD black and tried with the original installation disk and got this: same old lines as before. Is it not the hard drive then? I'm also attempting to make an install drive of Yosemite, but it's taking forever.

Hi all, In my previous thread I was trying to save my hard drive. It seems to have gone beyond resuscitation, and i am hoping I can scrape some of my data and was advised to use disc warrior. I downloaded it and created the flash drive using my MBA but it doesn't seem to be working. I...

Well I found the start up disk, but when I start up by holding down the C key, after the spinning icon, I get a dark grey screen saying I need to restart my computer. Except I can only shut it down completely, not restart it. Booting with the option key down (found somewhere on the net)...

ok, in single user mode it says "incorrect number of thread records (4, 30733) checking repairing volume rechecking volume checking journaled HFS Plus volume. the volumes name is Mackintosh HD" over and over and now finally it says the "volume could not be repaired after 3 attempts." If I...

Oh hell... it's just shut down! what do I do?

I have the last line: ** Repairing volume When it says the volume is repaired, do I type in "sudo nvram boot-args=" or "reboot"? Black screens with white text fill me with horror that I'll do something wrong and eff the whole thing up!

Thanks Satcomer, helpful as ever! :) I'll try the Verbose mode as it looks a bit less mess-up-able than single mode.

Hi there, I have an iMac (7 I think, it's the aluminium one) running Mavericks. When I went to turn it on today I got this on the screen. Ignore the moire stuff, it's the small pixel type things that run over the screen. I have tried the following: Resetting the NVRAM Resetting the SMC Doing...

Hi there, I have a livescribe pen which has stopped importing into my MBA and iMac. It charges ok and there is clearly some kind of recognition going on but the page and audio files just won't go in. I have about 20-30 hours of audio that needs transcribing in the next few weeks and I'm now...

Hi ElDiablo, thanks for the response. I have programmes on the old MB. I'll try and boot from the iMac. That is on snow leopard as well, so might work...

I had a bit of a disaster with my old MB (running snow leopard) and managed to get the HD out to save some vital stuff by plugging it into the replacement MBA (on lion). There are some things on the old HD that I'd like to do though and so I tried plugging it in, restarting with the option key...

this is a carry over from this thread... http://macosx.com/forums/hardware-peripherals/307341-epson-expression-scanner-freezing.html but I have come to the conclusion it isn't the epson 10000xl scanner, it's the software. Basically I am unable to save my scans in preview after...

Okie dokie, I have now upgraded to snow leopard in the hopes of fixing it. I had no joy, but I inadvertently discovered image capture. I can now scan using image capture! Joy! but when I rotate the scanned image and save it, then I get a bleached out image. I tried saving the scanned image...

I'm resurrecting this thread because I now own one of these and I'm still having the same issue. the nice man from epson came out and said I didn't have enough RAM, so I've just installed 4GB of ram and did an archive/reinstall of osx and no joy. I've even tried an older driver version. It's...

OK, I managed to get it to load. I quit everything and restarted the iweb app and did a new log in for the hosting site and then loaded the folders up individually. one media folder still wouldn't work so each item was then loaded individually from that. here is the result...

can anyone recommend an idiots guide to doing a website? I have my lovely site all done in iweb. looks spiffy, but I can't work out how to get it onto the server or host or whatever it's called (I'm using GoDaddy). I originally published to a folder on my desk top then using the secure...
