mac.nub Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hey All, Up until recently my MacSpiron 6400 was working fine, but suddenly a Black Box appeared around the + (add contact) sign on Mac messenger, then anything else I clicked on e.g. the Mac Hard Drive etc. Also instead of Sleep, Restart, Shutdown, Logoff being listed in the Apple Menu the following is: Sleep Restart... Restart Shutdown... Shutdown Log Out (name)... Log Out (name) Has anyone else ever had a problem like this, and if so, is there any way to sort it? I don't want to have to re-install again Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33220-black-box-double-restart-shutdown-logoff-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac.nub Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Never mind... I rebooted using the mac menu... no effect. Shut Down... no effect... went into console typed sudo reboot ...and it worked fine again. How weird!

McSkywalker Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Backup if there's anything valuable. Once it gets messed up, it generally goes worse.. At least, that's what I've experienced.

mac.nub Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 resolved? I have the same problem... sigh Easiest way to get rid of it... open terminal and type: sudo reboot Worked for me, but since I recently re-installed I haven't had the problem.
