I'm a newbie at Mac. I grew up using Windows (from 3.1 through XP) . I bought my first eMac on August 1st. Doesn't take long to get in trouble, does it? I'm getting desperate!
My problems started a few days ago and I have no idea what started it.
1) When the computer wakes from sleep, I get a Kernal Panic.
2) When I tell the computer to restart or shut down, it goes to a screen with my wallpaper and little progress circle meter thing and hangs.
3) When I insert a cd in the drive it won't recognize it until I reboot..and I can't reboot now!! I can't get the darned tthing open now.
4) If my typing looks awful it's because I can't see all that I'm typing, I don't know how to describe it. The cursor displays several letters back from what I've typed and doesn't backspace properly.
5) I've tried opening disk utility. It starts 'gathering ssystem information' and hangs. Force quit follows.
6) When AOL starts, the keychain access has started asking me if I should allow it to access the keychain..I tell it to 'always allow' but it keeps asking.
I would like to make a burn disc of my files and reinstall the system..but obviously I can't. Like I said, I'm desperate. :\
