    Chapter 33 Troubleshooting IN THIS CHAPTER: I The SECRETS Rule of Three I Error messages explained I Oddities on the screen I Startup troubles I Disk troubles I File, desktop, and icon ailments I Keyboard snafus PRINCIPLES OF TROUBLESHOOTING The Macintosh has an infinite number of cooks. There are the programmers at Apple who wrote the system software. There are the programmers who wrote the software you use, including the extensions and control panels that modify the system software. And then there’s the hardware, complete with a number of additional software elements (in the ROM chips, for example), both from Apple and other companies. With so many instructions being shouted at it, no wonder the Mac can get flustered and throw up its hands in frustration. The problems you may encounter vary: 1047 1048 Part IV: Attachments I Mysterious system crashes or freezes I Error messages I Startup problems (the blinking question mark icon or the Sad Mac icon) I Application problems, when the Mac simply doesn’t do what it’s sup- posed to I Printing troubles I Disk problems (their icons don’t show up on the desktop or the Mac reports that they’re “not a Macintosh disk”) A word about troubleshooting There’s a certain emotional element to a Mac going wrong. The Mac, after all, is betraying you, usually at a moment when you can least afford it. We don’t know about you, but when our Macs go goofy, we feel a rising well of frustra- tion and loss of control. Our heart rate doesn’t go back to normal until some semblance of normal operation has returned.

    K Service Source System Clean Install System 7.1, 7.5, 7.6 System Clean Install System 7.1 Clean Install - 1 System 7.1 Clean Install Purpose of a Clean Install A normal installation of system software modifies and updates the existing System Folder, but does not remove or disable any incompatible components. A clean installation, on the other hand, disables the existing System Folder, leaving all files in place, and forces the Installer to create a new System Folder with standard system configuration. Perform a clean installation when system software has been damaged or modified in a way that prevents a normal system installation. You may also use the clean install procedure to troubleshoot Macintosh computers that are hanging, crashing, or generally misbehaving. System Clean Install System 7.1 Clean Install - 2 Note: This document describes the preparation, installation, and post-installation steps for performing a clean install of System 7.1 software. For additional information on System 7.1, refer to the Read Me file, located inside the Apple Utilities folder on the System 7.1 Tidbits disk.

But the method of turning them on isn’t one of them. Your Mac’s power switch may be (a) a rocker switch on the back panel (as on one-piece Macs and LCs); (b) a key on the keyboard (as on most Quadras and most Power Macs); (c) a round nubby button on the front panel (as on 610- and 6100-shaped models); or even (d) a half-inch long, capsule-shaped button on the top surface (as on a PowerBook Duo). THE ADB BUS The term bus, as it applies to the Mac, makes much more sense if you imagine the stream of electricity that courses through the computer’s veins. It streams along specific pathways — wires and circuits — much like, well, a bus route 2 5 4 Part II: Secrets of the Machine in a very congested city. Along the way, this stream of electricity makes regu- larly scheduled stops, checking to see if there’s any new information to pick up (see Figure 7-1). The term Apple Desktop Bus, or, redundantly, the ADB bus, is the official name for one particular loop of the bus route: the one that includes the key- board and mouse.
