![]() Spinning doesn't mean it's working though. Put a metal rod on the casing and put the other end next to your ear. The ol' automotive shop trick works, too. Sometimes you can feel the drive running when you grab the casing (don't touch the circuit board on the bottom). Thanks for any more info, sorry for the long post, but thank you for reading.Ĭan I ask, how do you determine if a hard drive is "dead" and needs to be replaced? I'm curious what the button combination assisted with so I can be aware, or know if there is something I need to do now that it finally started back up and "appears" normal. There was no hard disk that could be located at all to select or try to repair? I'm fearing for the life of this laptop, and it isn't that old. and would only allow me to try and install. Powered down, and when I powered up, I got a grey screen, no apple icon, no spinning line, no folder/question mark, nothing. The issue started last night I plugged in my shuffle to let it sync and charge, came back to my computer this morning and iTunes hung up (beachball), then iPod showed 2 icons in iTunes (one mine, one generic), then after a couple minutes of mroe beachball said iPod may be corrupt and I could not Force Quit anything. Can anyone share with me what that does to help it start up? And possibly, more importantly, what problem is that showing or foreshadowing if I needed to use it? I found the startup button combination mentioned in the troubleshooting guide, Command + Option + P + R and lo and behold it worked. I was having my first ever startup issue with an Apple computer after 10 years of flawless performance. ![]()
