I had updated and it was in the middle of optimizing the system when my 3 year old hit the reset button. Now it will only show the apple logo and the spinning bars and will never boot. I tried booting in safe mode via shift key and that did not work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Dave
If it was restarted during a system process like that, chances are good your operating system is done. Was there a recovery CD that came with your laptop?
After trying several methods of recovering the system I opted for re-installing the OS. This has been resolved.
