From: Basil Jet on 11 Jul 2010 08:27 Sometimes when I boot my MacBook it plays the chime, then makes a popping sound and the screen goes black, then it automatically starts up a second time and plays the chime again. While I'm here, is shutting the MacBook down a bad idea? Is it safer to just let it sleep unless software updates demand a reboot?

Shutting down your MacBook is fine, unless you do it a lot, it should be OK

Only if you're not going to be using it for a while, otherwise it would be best to just sleep it.

Is there anything interesting logged during the first half-boot? -- Chris |
