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.

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;))

@ph3412t3h13

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

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
