Strange Icons during Startup
Recently my Ibook has something new happening during startup. I am new to Apples, and as I have invested in three so far, I need to figure out what is going on.
Immediately upon powerup, the first screen I get shows a folder icon with a globe in it. Depending whether or not internet access is available, this icon may remain for 2 -3 minutes. It is immediately followed by a folder icon with two faces on it (kind of a ying-yang face). This icon remains depending on internet availability up to 4 minutes. Then regular startup resumes.
I also recently have trouble with my email settings for accounts suddenly disappearing, and I suspect this "StartUp folder" deal is related , based on the internet availability deal.
What are these rogue icons, and how do it stop what is going on?
