I will eat you all up into my tummy. My Avid express mac is humped it does not start up ! it obly stays on the grey start up screen no extensions build up along the bottom and no desctop appears it just sits there 'hung'. I am pretty sure it is not an Avid problem but a mac problem any help would mean I don't eat you up. Also the tablet and keyboard do not light up!. Can you guys help a heeeooomie? cheers chosseriser.

No it is not matey. If it is the operating system guy with the folder and the question mark you are talking abooooot. Jeeze I am having a shocker lots to do and no computer to do them on eeeekkk.

Just a thought but: Try taking the power cable out of the computer and leave for a minute or 2 so the power is trained. Plug back in and re-start.

that doesn't sound good to me. I was going to suggest disk warrior (you would need to boot directly from the CD).
Maybe Dancer's suggestion will help.

stop feeding sweets into the cd tray it does not make it happy.

Have you tried starting up with extensions off? I think you need to hold down shift whilst it starts up.

the same(ish) thing happened to me. disk warrior cured it up in 5 minutes.
it's pricey at maybe 60 bucks but worth it. i got mine off amazon. had it overnighted and it was fixed the next evening.

cheers gruntt :).
You got this thing called a pci extender for avid systems well it had got itself all confused so I had to take out and reseat the ribbon cable and basically reset all the other hardware / periferals which is a pain cause it is all plumbed into a central apparatus room. It worked and I got my tablet and keyboard back aswell cause I had to replace a couple of fuses in my usb extenders aswell. It never rains it pours :) but I got there in the end.
