Mac Startup Problems - Gets as far as displaying the Spotlight icon
Wednesday, 4th June 2008
I had a problem the other day where my Mac only got as far as displaying the Spotlight icon before it just froze displaying the spinning colour wheel of doom.
My guess was that it was a font issue as I had recently (and stupidly) dragged some fonts from a local server into a Library in Font Book and my guess was that my Mac was trying to find those fonts but couldn’t as it they were on the server.
After searching around (fortunately I had another Mac handy) I found that if you only get as far as the Spotlight icon at startup it is probably because of a corrupt font cache or possible a corrupt Spotlight playlist.
