Question

I had a problem with my mac notebook so i turn it off, turn it mac on and a folder appeared on the screen ?

Answer 1

Hi, did it boot up and then the folder appeared on the desktop or did the folder appear during the reboot sequence in the middle of the screen and the mac hasn't restarted ?

If its the latter you may want to try rebooting from your install cd/dvd and then running disk utilities from the utilities folder on the cd/dvd. It possible the system folder has been corrupted.

Good Luck

Answer 2

before u turn it off, make sue tht every thing is closed out of and nothing is loading
