Can anyone help me?
I have an older iMac that was acting up a bit... not allowing me to open more than one program at a time saving sometimes (stating there was not enough memory - despite the fact there was plenty). I could reboot and it would be OK for a bit, but then it would do it agian. I was planning on taking it in for some "professional help" after the two books I was working on were finished this week. Last night however, just as I was 90 percent through the first book, it died. It will start to boot up but before the OS starts it just makes a sickening repetative clicking sound and then the little Mac guy comes on in the middle of the screen with a big question mark. It also tried to start up this morning with the scheduled start up, but it again just went to the little Mac guy, who at this point, I think is laughing more than anything! There must be something working in there if it recognized the scheduled start up... or is this just wishful thinking?
I am not so much concerned about the fact that the computer may be fried, but I have another book in there I HAVE to get (it has to be done by the 19th). Everything else was backed up but because it was acting up, this one did not get saved elsewhere. (I know I was playng with fire, but had to get this book out) Is there any way to get it out now? I am not that technically Mac savy, just know this is not a good situation.
Help!
