MacBook (OS X 10.5.8) startet nicht mehr
Ich würde gerne um Eure Hilfe bei einem ähnlichen Problem bitten. Mein MacBook mit Leopard lässt sich ebenfalls nicht mehr starten, und ich habe leider im Moment keine Installations-CD mehr da. Ich habe mein Problem schon im englischsprachigen Apple Support Forum
gepostet, (im englischsprachigen, weil ich dachte die antworten um die Zeit schneller), wende mich aber zusätzlich noch bei euch weils bei mir zeitlich recht eng ist (habe eine Seminararbeit abzugeben in zwei Tagen
). Deswegen kopiere ich hier einfach schnell den englischen Text rein:

I accidentally changed my HDD settings from secure to insecure, including all subfolders(!!!).
Apparently this was a quite stupid thing to do. It took Finder some time to adjust the settings (it froze for a while, while other apps still where running properly), and after it finished, I tried to undo the setting by clicking the lock symbol again, but the option for the subfolders was not available anymore. Everything still seemed to work fine though. But after a restart the system won't boot anymore. It tries to boot but only goes up to where the apple symbol is shown on a greyish/blueish screen and the little wheel is spinning. After about 30sec to 1 minute it does an automatic restart.
I cant start in safe mode (even if this was initialized I guess the restart would kill the process, which I read can take a while).
Starting in Single User mode works and I tried all of the things mentioned here and on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1411?viewlocale=en_US. After running "/sbin/fsck -fy" it tells me that my volume appears to be OK, but when I run "reboot" nothing has changed, Mac still is unsuccessfully trying to boot and then restarting every minute or so.
Any advice? Is there maybe a timeout setting that triggers a restart when booting takes too long? Can I somehow reset the security preferences in the single user mode? The "mv Preferences Preferences_old" command in "Library" also wont work, and Im not sure if its even appropriate for 10.5.X.
Thanks for any help.
