My MacBook air wont turn on, i press the on button, light comes on, screen goes white with apple symbol and spinning thing, but it will just stay like that for ages, i thought of reinstaling mac with the back up disks but is there a way i can fix it with keeping my files.
Thanks in advance
Please anyone i realy need some help with it, i think my friend had something like this on a windows pc he sed he turned it off while it was turning on(that was to cause it) , but please help
Thanks in advance
The Bad News:
You probably will need to reinstall the OS from the restore discs.
The Good News:
Most likely you will be able to get away with an Archive and Install. Archive and install reinstalls the OS and keeps the user data. A minimum of ~13 GB free disk space is needed.
This issue appears to happen allot from bad Software updates or interrupted updates. The fix does take a few hours (longer if using a shared DVD opposed to external USB DVD).
Go ahead, boot from the disks. Just read this first PLEASE:
oh yeah i just remembered something from what you said it wouldn't update to 10.5.6

EDIT: When i hold option turning it on, then select the disc it goes back to the apple logo with the spinning gear,
