[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1294563, member: 56379"] Really really slow operations like this can be an indication of a hard drive that's dying (or a hard drive that is almost full). A dying hard drive really isn't a big deal...IF...you have all of your important stuff backed up. It's only a BIG DEAL...if a hard drive has already died...and you cannot recover your files. Replacing a hard drive in a MacBook is not too difficult to replace...and they're not that expensive either. The only additional hassle is...you NEED an OS install disk to install the OS on the new hard drive. I would suggest backing up all of your important files you have on your MacBook ASAP...because that hard drive could completely die at ANY TIME...including 5 seconds after you read this!!! Then you can decide is you want to replace the HD...and purchase an OS install disk. I would recommend getting a OS 10.6 Snow Leopard disk. - Nick [/QUOTE]
