[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1354945, member: 145676"] Who told you to re-install and why did they tell you that? That is a pretty drastic step. Usually you do check disk, repair disk, repair permissions and see if any of that helps. If you have been backing up with Time Machine the restoring isn't that hard. There are a couple of clone utilities if you want belt and suspenders - Carbon Copy Cloner [url=http://www.bombich.com/]Carbon Copy Cloner - Home[/url] and SuperDuper are two good ones [url=http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html]SuperDuper![/url] Here is an article on repair/restore with lion [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718]OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery[/url] Reboot and hold down cmd-r to get to the recovery partition. As I said a full re-install is pretty drastic so before recommending it I'd like to know your symtoms first. [/QUOTE]
