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).
