I bought my iBook new about a year ago. I
have tried using the OS X after
spending my time using 9.2 and have
had nothing but problems with it even
after reloading the OS X from commercial
discs--or trying to--several times.
I was wondering if anyone would know
what the following problems might be
attributed to:

1. My system will not actually shut off the
computer whether I use forced
shut off or simple shut off or restart. Even
if I have an OS X or 9.1 or 9.2
commercial disc in the disc bay, it will not
restart with the disc while
pressing "c". All the icons and menus go
off but the screen stays blue and
when I shut it the little light on the front of
my iBook keeps blinking

2. I can not change the start-up disc back
to 9.1

3. When I put CDs and DVDs in the disc
bay, the disc icon does not show up
on my desk top and the DVD player will
not play any DVDs. If I put a OS X disc in
to retart and reload it, it will not recognise
the disc so an upgrade to 10.2 willnot
work either.

I have had no luck using the 9.2 upgrade
CD. It simply will not update from
the CD.

Any help would be appreciated,

I'm hoping "about a year ago" means "less than a year ago" because it sounds like your iBook has a hardware problem. Is the firmware up-to-date?
