I don't know what on earth happened to my Mac, but it just lagged so bad, so I rebooted it. Then, when I tried to start it up, my Mac is STUCK on the Apple logo, and the spinning wheel! For numerous HOURS. I don't know what the *ahem* happened!
Using MacBook, black edition.
I am using PC (on my Mac) from BOOTCAMP. So the BOOTCAMP disk starts up, but NOT the HD Macintosh one!
Anyone know what the *ahem* is going on?
Go to a reapir shop :P
Screw this, I know their answers already -> "MONEYZ PLOX''...Quote:

Did all this. No system error, just anytime I try to start computer stays on the apple with the wheel spinning non stop. :(
But the Bootcamp disk works so I can use pc. But mac doesnt and ****
do you have a repair disc/ or bootable drive with repair tools on it (USB Drive) if so get into boot options (usually a prompt at first start up of the computer) ((It is with PC not sure with MAC))
Anyway go to options select boot configuration and select boot from disc/USB
I don't have disc or usb.. :(Quote:

Also go into boot options and make sure that your boot order is in line, and try to think if you have changed/altered any files on your computer that might have been important in the last couple of days, we might be able to figure it out from there.
I hate that spinning wheel of death
I'll just try to find the CD for OS X Lion, and restore it. :)Quote:

Mac. One single screw is a bit loose and the whole machine says "I quit, repair me" for 500 bucks.
True. But the drive is not dead since I can boot into Windows..Quote:
