[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1574490, member: 56379"] Your question...Is this a software or hardware issue?...is a good one. I usually like to explore the software part first. Sometimes problems like this can happen when 3rd party apps are installed. Little apps that allow for customization of the interface...or do little utility jobs like maintenance, or fun things, or cute things...etc. And they don't always "play-well" with the Mac OS. I don't know if you've installed anything like this...but if you have...maybe you can uninstall them...or turn their effects off. Otherwise...I would be inclined to do a complete OS reinstall...so you can start from the beginning...with a "virgin" OS install. If you still have problems after a complete "virgin" OS install...this would lead me to believe that it could be a hardware issue. Which of course then the Applecare kicks in to fix things. If an OS install seems too drastic for you...you could try booting into "Safe Mode": [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204]OS X Mavericks: Start up in safe mode[/url] [url=http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/Safe-Boot.htm]How to Use Your Mac's Safe Boot Option[/url] HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
