[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1294603, member: 56379"] An almost full hard drive could also be responsible for the problems you are experiencing. 20gigs free on a 250gig HD is around 92% full. You can do two things: - simply get rid of all the "junk" on the hard drive if it is truly full of "junk" (videos that you don't watch, music you don't listen to, applications & games you don't use or play, etc., etc.) - or back all of these items up on your external drive...then delete these items from your Macbooks drive. You NEED to free up a bunch more space...so you can figure out if the almost full HD is the problem or if it's the HD potentially dying. Once you have created more free space...then run Disk Utility & repair permissions. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
