A friend told me this morning that he downloaded 10.4.4 for his 6 month old 12" G4 iBook. He rebooted, and it was slow. Then the next time he rebooted he got the question mark and it wouldn't boot. Is that a HD problem? After that it's booted okay.

He said he ran disk utility and no problems were found. Not sure if he attempted to fix permissions.

What else should he run? techTool Pro? Any freeware utilities? It's still under warranty. Should he bring it into the Apple store for them to look at?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Bring it to the Apple Store for them to look at...what? If it's booting and performing normally now, there's really nothing for them to say. I've had a couple iBooks, and they often seem to reboot very slowly after an OS update. If there are no lasting ill effects, tell your friend not to panic. If there is a problem that he can reproduce, certainly take it to the Apple Store.
