i have an ibook G4 and i was updating my leopard system. after i installed the package the update said something about receiving cache but i waited there for 1 hour and the screen just had a background doing nothing. i grew impatient and turned the comp off. now it wont log in! theres just the grey screen with the apple and it wont go any further! someone help please! :(
 
another thing is that this ibook was bought second handed and i dont have any discs that came with it.
 
Give This A Try---- Shut Down And Restart Holding Down The Comm.opt., P & R Keys Until You Have Heard The 3rd Chime Of The Computor. [ Takes A Minute Or So To Complete } Release The Keys And See If Startup Occurs.

The Comm.opt., P & R Keys = Command,Option,P,and R keys
(the command key has a picture of an apple on it)

Another option worth trying is to boot into single user mode:

1. Shut down the computer if it is on.

2. Press the power button to start the computer.

3. Immediately press and hold the Command (Apple) key and the "s" key (Command-S) - you should now see a black screen with white text.

4.at the #, type fsck -y -f and press enter - if it shows errors, then keep
entering fsck -y -f at the # until it does not show any errors.

5.type exit at the # and the computer should boot into GUI mode
