Re: [OS X] Huge Leopard problems!! help!!!
Apple key + S once you hear the chime from the computer on start.
This will take you to single user mode, it will show you a command: fsck -fy /
Simply type that in and press return, it will check your disk for errors and will repair anything it finds. You can then mount the drive using the following command:
mount -uw /
From there do a disk permissions repair using the following command:
diskutil repairPermissions /
On Leopard you will see 10..20.30 percentage bar in older versions you will simply get errors it found and showing that it fixed them.
Once you have done the following simply type in the command:
reboot
It will restart the computer. If you are still experiencing issues create a new user account under System Preferences if you can access it and login using that account. If your system has now stabilized it could of been something you recently installed that has caused the system to become unstable. If it does not fix the issue you will more than likely require to do a archive and install as the base system is either damaged or corrupt.
Good luck. |
