[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1521398, member: 56379"] Sorry...didn't know where you were located. It always helps to include your location in your Mac-Forums profile.:) Along the lines of what bobtomay mentioned...the problems you describe sound like a hard drive going bad (yes hard to believe on such a new computer...but it happens). Replacing the hard drive is pretty easy. Go to ifixit.com to get instructions. But I would still recommend letting Apple check things out...that's what that Applecare is for.:) If you are not located near an Apple Store...then you have two options: 1. Call Apple and see if any computer repair shops nearer to you are authorized to do any troubleshooting & repairs. 2. Call Apple...and see if you can ship your computer to them for troubleshooting & repair (this should be available). HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
