so starting up while holding down the shift key displays some sort of network icon? does the icon look like it's searching for something.

what was the last thing you remember doing to your computer before you turned it off. did you install any sort of software or delete anything?

You played around with Startup Disk would be my guess. Just start your Mac, press and hold the option (alt) key. After that select your Macintosh HD (system disk), this can take some time. When you're back in Mac OS X go to System Preferences and click Startup Disk and highlight your Macintosh HD.

:laugh:

i think it might have something to do with u messing around with the startup thing

or the only other thing i can think of taht has an "earth" icon is earthlink becuase that came with my dads powermac g4

if your g5 is new then that might have someting to do with it

im only thinking this becuase of the "earth" icon

Wasn't the iMac bought in the USA and then brought into Venezuela? That right there means they won't help you. It only works in the country that you bought it in.

Yeah true, it happened to me once and it completely scared the crap out of me:pp

@dagar5

You're welcome;))

That globe has nothing to do with earthlink. It's a default dark blue network icon (see image).

    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
    • On my music making (non internet) PC Sony Acid Pro 7.0 Adobe Audition 2015 Korg Legacy Collection Windows 7 SP1
    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
