Have you given up on an Apple Mac Computer?

I have recently restored a friends' Apple Mac machine to full working order
by using a simple technique which few folk seem to know about

If you have a Mac you have given up on, get in touch and I'll see what I
can do.

Cheers!!....Ecker.

Spouting nonsense since the day I learned to talk
And what technique is that? To solve what problem?

i wondered that.. resetting the PRAM? booting into safe mode and running fsck?

Quite often just resetting the PRAM can sort out a lot of problems but having to hold down the

CMD - ALT - P and R keys at the same time is not the easiest arrangement.

They should be hold down as soon as you switch on and not released until the second start up chime.
If no success the first time, try it again.

There is a complication in that you may to have reset the date and time after resetting the Parameter
RAM settings.

The friend whose machine I got going again had had the machine from someone who works for Apple
and he (the donator) had no idea about resetting the PRAM.

You might also want to run: Disk Permissions Verification and Hard Disk Verification afterwards.

I gave up on anything Apple 2 years ago.......my frustrations and general blood pressure has significantly reduced since then.
