Login information works fine on my official Mac.

Is this a known issue with these installs at all? I was not able to find anything on it searching for 'app store'.

Same here - Dell Mini 9, u/g to 10.6.7.

Frustrating, as the network/internet works fine, and i've tried all the solutions that work for most others.

I only upgraded for the damned app store.

Does it give you an error code at all?

Did you look at this old thread-
http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/gene...ackintosh.html

Mine didn't work at first either, but I fixed it using help from that thread.

YOU BEAUTY, YOU ABSOLUTE BEAUTY!!


Was up to 4:30am last night trying various solutions on thse and other boards, none of them worked. Or rather, none of them worked, until I tried the VERY simple method highlighted in the thread you gave.

Have two gold stars.

Dumb question but I'll ask it, I accidentally updated from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 and my mini is all messed up. What is best to get it back to it's former state?

Thumbs up Just got it going - 10.6.2 to 10.6.3 to 10.6.7 - 09-13-2011, 11:48 PM

Hi Everyone,

Well, I just installed the 10.6.3 update and everything worked just fine, used NBI 0.8.4 RC4 as I recall... I had been running 10.6.2 before that.

Just followed the advice above to install the 10.6.7 update:
1) download and install NBI 0.8.5pre
2)(without restarting- is this where I messed up?) install 10.6.7 combo update
3)restart

when I restarted I got the HD icon, backwards progress bar saying "press any key to enter startup options, and then tons of lines of code. Right about here:
4) fReAk OuT!!!!!!

Started typing THIS and the thing restarted again... and amazingly, went to the apple logo and let me log in. It worked???? Sweet Jesus in a handbag, it worked!

Oh wait... no sound... ok, no problem, some brilliant genius mentioned this already. Restarted and got the same backwards status bar with a message of "press any key to enter startup something" freaked out and hit space. Sat there not doing anything for a while and then I hit enter and it booted into 10.6.7 with sound.

I should have played a hallelua chorus on youtube.... maybe I'll go do that now.

Thanks again for all your help on here! Hopefully the restart thing won't panic me too much, I think I just didn't realize the startup screen changed a bit with 10.6.7.

If you run NBI and look, I bet Quiet Boot is disabled.

If you enable it it shouldn't show that anymore.

Sound is still hit or miss on the 10v, sometimes it loads, sometimes it doesn't.

I set mine to Hibernate, so when I wake it up the sound always works.

There is a thread here on how to do it if you want-
http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/mac-...ossible-8.html

Go to page 8, post #79 for the pertinent info.
