Rotten Apple
Posted on | March 14, 2007 | 5 Comments
My laptop is dead. I tried to install the OSX update, and it timed out. No biggie – I tried it again. It still didn’t work. D told me that it may have been Apple’s servers. I went to my office to grab old files from my external drive. No go. All of the programs kept shutting down. D spent hours trying to fix it. Hours. When he woke up this morning (after making breakfast – I am married to an awesome man) he started trying again. I can’t tell you how sad this makes me. The timing couldn’t be worse. Midterms and grad school. I’m about to have a fucking panic attack.
And today is my sister’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Lex.

I’m sorry about your laptop. Computer problems can be so frustrating!

It has been a problem for some others, crashing out in the middle of an update. Apparently it is safer to download the combined update locally and install. Dunno. Either way, I’ll figure it out. I passed the first big hurdle which was getting the Diskwarrior disk out of the computer, next I will try to boot from the OSX disk. I’ll get it goin’, somehow. In the short term, you can use my computer, or the 12″. Luckily we have plenty of computers to go around.

It’s always good to have backups. I believe my husband has 2 back-up working computers and a laptop. This does not include the water cooled machine and the old server. Oh, and the new server that we actually use. We have too many comps!!

There is no such thing as too many computers. I just need to be a smarter girl when it comes to my notes and such. If I lose the data, then that is totally my fault. But the stupid puter does need to work… Blast it!!
Thanks for being my tech support hon.

Don’t forget to have many backups. We have a server with over 1000 gigs of space and halfway through my thesis, I lost my hard drive without having sent all that work to the server. We recovered it – thankfully – but I won’t make that mistake again.
