@Spanjj What sort of mac have you got? iMac? Finally managed to get mine back on the road thanks to TimeMachine and a retro Mac keyboard. about 5 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to Spanjj
... once I plugged it in and used the right shortcut I could boot from Snow Leopard DVD and restore from the last Time Machine backup. Nice. about 10 hours ago from TweetDeck
The Apple Mac lives again. Turns out the old iMac won't recognise startup shortcuts from the apple thin keyboard, needed to go retro... about 10 hours ago from TweetDeck
@themumf Bernard Cribbins is Mr Womble. He narrated the series. 2:24 AM Dec 26th from TweetDeck

Merry Christmas one and all. Sophie woke us at 8am this morning. Fantastic turkey smell around the house. Radio 2 on (but no Tel!). 12:28 AM Dec 25th from UberTwitter
This is a baptism of fire cooking-style. They're trusting me with the turkey. Tell me again, why am I putting it in the oven now?? ;) 2:24 PM Dec 24th from UberTwitter
A stonkingly fantastic christmas eve party! There is a home/pub crawl going on in @briantspuddle! Wonderful villagers atmosphere!! 12:16 PM Dec 24th from UberTwitter
The first ever Collins family christmas eve party is about to begin. And I'm shattered. A full days cleaning of the house! 8:46 AM Dec 24th from UberTwitter
@lgladdy My iMac has died too. Do you think they realise its christmas and just die, hoping we'll spend out on a new one? 11:15 AM Dec 23rd from UberTwitter in reply to lgladdy
@boidster Lucky bugger. 11:14 AM Dec 23rd from UberTwitter in reply to boidster

@Scarred_Star Local mac guru has pointed me in the direction of the Apple downloadable firmware restore discs. Fingers crossed. 3:02 AM Dec 23rd from TweetDeck in reply to Scarred_Star
Local mac man in Dorchester has pointed me towards the apple firmware restore CD's. Fingers crossed 1:49 AM Dec 23rd from TweetDeck
@Scarred_Star Not sure what it is. I turn it on, get the mac noise, spinning wheel on grey bg, black progress bar then it turns itself off. 1:11 AM Dec 23rd from TweetDeck in reply to Scarred_Star
Looks like it's just me in the office then. Super. 12:58 AM Dec 23rd from TweetDeck
Waiting for a call from the local Mac Guru to see if anything can be done to save my mac from the grim reaper. 12:42 AM Dec 23rd from TweetDeck
@boidster genius bar appts start at abt 100 GBP I believe. May have found someone local but it looks like a firmware issue. Mac = doorstop. 12:22 PM Dec 22nd from UberTwitter in reply to boidster
Looks like I have to take it to the local Apple shop. I could cry. If it were a PC I'd have fixed it by now. 11:00 AM Dec 22nd from UberTwitter
Any apple gurus out there? My mac fails to boot now after failing to repair the HDD in disk utility. How do I boot from SL DVD ? 10:32 AM Dec 22nd from UberTwitter
