Précision

good luck, repost here if you have some problems :)

Sorry for the delay in replying but I had to go out.

I do have my original CDs for re-installing the system but as you have suggested, I will try time machine ... I'didn't think of that.
Thank you and bye for now.

Ok, do you use Time Machine ?

If you use it, you can try to restore your system by Time Machine, with your last save before you install the 2 updates.

If it doesn't work, you will had to reinsall your system. Do you have the system CD ?

They are from the software update utility

If you passed by the "software update" normally there is no problem...

The 2 updates wich do you talk about, where its come from ? from the internet apple website or from de "software update" utility ?

Have you change your hard disk yourself ? How have you reinstall your operating system ?

To update your Mac OS X, you had to launch "system update" from "pomme" menu (is there you're mac in french ?)

How have you try o update your mac ?

Hello that's a relief ! .......

My macbook crashed a few days ago and I had to change the hard disc. Everything ok until I tried to update Safari and Quicktime which needs the computer re-started to be able to install the downloads. The problem is that on the menu pomme, the fonctions redémarré and éteindre no longer work. The bureau disappears and I am left with just the wallpaper and the dot which turns constantly. I have to turn off the computer with the button on the key pad.

CMM is "Comment Ca Marche" that's the name of this forum.

gijoe34 would say that this forum already exist in english, on https://ccm.net/ and it may be easier for you to ask for help on this forum.

Could you explain clearly your problem, what's the bug of your Mac ?

bonjour
