You can adjust focus, if necessary. Click on the rightmost standard pattern in the Display Service Utility. You should get a focus test pattern on the screen. Carefully adjust the focus screw (the upper one) so that both the center and edge test patters are reasonably crisp. You might have to find a compromise between center and edge clarity, but it should be possible to get it pretty good.

#1 - you need to be more specific about what you are trying to do and when, since your problem could come from a hundred different causes, BUT\n#2 - try turning your computer OFF, leave it off for 20 seconds, and turn it back on. Is the problem still there?

First question: are you on a network with other Macs? Get the tech who sets up the network to go through the set up and check all the permissions,etc. You won't have the administrative permissions to reset stuff. It might not be your fault at all and he/she can fix it as "Root." \nSecond point: You might not have enough RAM to run System10 and the applications. Getting more RAM would be a good thing to check on... check the Apple icon at the top of the screen and select "About this Mac" you should have more than 512K memory, lots more... like a gig of ram at least if you are running hefty programs like Adobe Photoshop or anything that deals with video or 3D.\nGrasping at straws #3: I had an issue once where the computer was recalibrating itself every 15 minutes. Wrong setting. No matter what I was doing, the machine crashed... made me crazy. A tech friend had heard of the problem, went in to the system folder and fixed it in two seconds. That was an older OS, but it could be something similar where a discreet function is seizing precedent.\nApple.com is a good place to check for faq and ongoing issues. I've used Mac for almost 20 years and have so little trouble with them it's noteworthy when I encounter a difficulty, especially now.

Your Mac should show a "smiley" face when you switch on. If it shows a "sad" face, there is a problem with the computer. If it doesn't show anything at all, there is probably a hardware fault.

Go to Start and click on help and support\nSystem information\nView the status of hardware and software\n\nThis should give you a list of all the applications and devices on your machine\n\nIf there are any conflicts, you will see the software causing the problem.\n\nLook under obsolete application and device drivers

Could be that it was jarred and an internal component is not seated properly.  If you are comfortable with doing so, you can try reseating the memory, hard drive, wifi card, etc... to see if that fixes the problem.  If you are not comfortable doing so, take it to someone who is.

It's looking for the system startup disk.  Leave your computer on for an hour or so, and see if it defaults to the Startup.  Happened to my friend after he accidentally changed it.  Then when you get back onto OSX, change it back to startup in System Preferences.

Looks like you need a new dvd drive.  It should play with not a problem.\n\nOh, wait.  Did your computer come with OSX?  If not, and you upgraded, then you could need either more Ram, or a faster processor.  You can replace the ram, but most macs can't have their processor upgraded.\n\nTo find out better info, go to MacOSXHints.com ( i think that's it.  it's been a while.)  They have loads of mac genius' that can help.

Why, do you have a problem you need fixed? You might try joining discussions.apple.com and listing your problem under the appropriate category. The people there are generally pretty knowledgable and helpful. You might do a search to see if your question has already been asked too. Chances are you're not the only one who's had that problem before, and the solution may already be posted.\n\nIf you're looking to start a club or just chat with other mac enthusiasts in your community, try this link:\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/usergroups/find/\n\nThat's probably your best bet!

are you powering up with your battery alone, or are you plugged into an outlet?\n\nhow old is your computer? is it worth spending money to fix it by going to a computer repair shop?  are your files very valuable?

Replace the hard drive, if it fixes the problem then you know that they hard drive was messed up, if not, then you got a whole different problem...Good Luck.

Make sure you have a gig of RAM, it uses a lot of resources.\nDefragment the hard drive and run Ccleaner.\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com\n\nIf that fails, then contact MacAffee; you paid for the program they should give you support!

your hard disk might have developed some bad sectors, or there is some problem with your file system.\n\nRun a complete scan on your hard disk, it can solve your problem.

Try to do a fresh install on the computer. If anything something is causing that to happen. If it got corrupted then it might have been with an interferiance with something on the computer. Or possibly a sector went bad? I had that happen to my HD. But a clean install wont hurt you.
