Mac (not PC) support?

[Warkitty]

A friend is having a problem with her Mac. Apparently when she tries to boot it up it gives a beeping noise she'd never heard before and she gets a message saying "need to restart." She can't get beyond that point.

Anyone know what might be wrong or if there's a mac store in town she can go to find help from?

There are several MAC stores around, I only know of the one on gunbarrel. Did she power it completely down including unplug and/or taking the battery out for a few minutes?

That can "fix" a lot of things.

Apple store: You don't expect us to service this, do you? If it's broken, just buy a new one.

across from the billiards club at Hamilton place in the little strip mall. They have swapped hard drives and transferred data for me....seem pretty good

Bob, just left her a message (she's probably torturing some poor soul right now and couldn't get to the phone) just now with your suggestion as well as theuplinker's recommendation for a place to go for help.

the billiards club is not near the mall. There is an apple store at the mall but I don't know if they "do" service.

Most importantly what kind of Mac. Resetting may be as simple as using a paper clip in the proper place while rebooting.

[Warkitty]

She took it in for service already, so I guess we don't get to try the paper clip.

Thanks y'all!
