Mac not booting up
Despite my revelations last week thinking I'd solved my freezing mac by throwing out the time capsule! It lasted 2 days when I woke it from sleep, checked an email(from a known source so no thought of viruses) then tried to change pages on safari the mac stopped responding and the beach ball appeared. After 25 mins of that I powered it off and attempted a restart.....nothing, 40 mins of watching the spinning gear under the apple sign. I then tried a safe start and the apple sign changed to a No Entry sign above the spinning gear. I'm guessing that it's a fairly serious problem but thought I'd put it out there in case there was a simple explanation.
