Every morning I would wake my mac up and play a lil itunes while I get ready for the day. Last Friday however, Mr. Mac would not wake up. Sometime during the night he shut down. I turned him on and went about my morning while waiting for the start up to complete. I decided to let it run and headed to work. When I came home, Mr. Mac was still on the grey screen with the apple and the lil spinning wheel. Blah.
After force quitting and restarting multiple times, I pulled out my old ass laptop and started trouble shooting. Most of Saturday I went down the list of things to do and each time I got the grey screen. By the end of that evening I decided to make an appointment at the Genius Bar.
On Sunday I dragged my computer carrying brother to the Apple Store to get my computer looked at by a certified apple geek. Me being a dork had written down exactly what I had done. The genius looked at my list and said I did everything he would have done and said that it looks like I need a new hard drive. Also, he lectured me on not backing my stuff up. (I know. I'm bad. Don't worry. I've learned my lesson.) Luckily, he said my data is probably still on the HD, its just not accessible.
I left the store with a referral to a dude who can retrieve my data and install a new hard drive. Its going to cost me, but at least my pictures, music, files, etc are not completely lost...I hope.
I am so getting a bigger and better hard drive, and an external hard drive, and I'm going to back up my stuff everyday. Every. Single. Freakin. Day. Everyday.
