[QUOTE="WWJBD, post: 943638, member: 131055"] Hey guys. So after several days of racking my brain and talking to AppleCare, the issue has finally been resolved. First off, I did complete a complete erase and clean install, followed by either restore from backup or migration assistant roughly 6 times with different combinations, and nothing changed. Everything worked fine with the fresh install of SL up until the data from my backup hit the machine, then all **** broke loose again. Like I said, I went through this about 6 times over the past 4 days. After several hours of tinkering with specific StartupItems, Fonts, Caches, LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons and other .plist files, we finally figured out that the problem existed in the user/library/fonts folder. Must have been a bad apple third party font that I installed (which I do frequently being an Art Director.) Wow, I really wish I would have looked through that stuff from the get go instead of wasting 4 days reinstalling SL (45 minutes each time) and restoring my data (4 hours each time) a bunch of times. But in any case, thank you all so much for your help. The list of diagnostic stuff you suggested will certainly come in handy in the future. [/QUOTE]
