| Permissions repair not working Im having a real problem. I have a G4 400mgh Mac with 256 SDRAM. We are running OSX 10.3.9. Our five year old granddaughter shut off the power to the computer when it was running. I restarted the computer and ran the repair permissions utility. It started up but after twenty minutes it still had not begun to make any repairs.I'm not sure of were to go from here. I never became to savvy with the operating system because I was friends with Bob Wood who was a Mactek who was registered with this site until his passing away this year. All I had to do was call him and he took care of the problem.I saw that there is a disk repair utility but I am not sure If I should run it or if it could corrupt any programs on the computer.If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

| Hi There ...try re-setting the PRAM.. hold Alt+Apple+P+R, re-boot and let it chime three times (lots of fingers) let go.. this might get it back. Alternatively try this.. PMU Re-set.. SHIFT..CONTROL..OPTION then Power On. Let go and power on again, might come back. Finally, Open Firmware.. Apple+Alt+O+F.. boot and wait for black screen.. type- 'reset-nvram', hit enter and type- 're-set all' .. (no inverted commas) Good luck |
