Hello I am wondering whether anyone can offer any advice on the problem I have.
I have an iMac G4 which is running mac OS X 10.2.8 (or whatever the latest one out is). I regularly update the software via the sofware update. I had no problems with the computer until I downloaded two updates via the software update process. These udates (downloaded on 16th of October 2003) were
Quicktime 6.4 (I think)
iTunes 4.1 (I think)
after being prompted to restart the computer mac os x reboots but initially It was stopping when the desktop screen appears (without any icons).
After retrying a few times the system still did not start completely but the dock appeared, but none of my desktop icons most importantly my apple hard drive icon or the menu bar at the top appeared.
The dock seems active but when you click on one of the dock items e.g. iTunes the system freezes (I het the spinning beach ball)and has to be restarted via holding down the power button. Can anyone suggest how I can overcome this problem I really don't want to lose everything I have on the computer which might be the case if I have to reinstall. Also I dont have all of mac os x on disk only the intial version that was sent to me to upgrade from 9.2.2.
Thanks
