[QUOTE="wick98, post: 252833, member: 20423"] I'm new here, and I wanted to ask a question pertaining to the MacBook Pro that I'm renting from my college (and eventually buying from them.) Here goes... I've had the machine for about 5 days now. I've taken perfect care of it, and I haven't been downloading a lot of things, or anything. The only possibly problematic thing that has occurred was that the power went off and then came back on, within about 10 seconds, while I was using the Mac (plugged into an outlet, using wireless internet through a router.) It ended up just resorting to battery power, so I doubt that did anything to it.That was about 48 hours ago, and I hadn't used this thing until now. When I first started it up and signed on, everything was fine. It loaded quickly, and I changed some of my widgets around and signed onto my wireless network. Netscape worked fine, and so did iChat. However, when I attempted to load MSN, Photobooth and Disk Utilities, they wouldn't work. MSN was the only one that didn't bounce. I decided that the best thing to do would be to log out and restart the system, which is what I did. I didn't have any problems doing that and since I've restarted it, everything has been fine. Was that just a fluke coincidence, or what could it have been? It's really worrying me. I'm trying to keep this thing in perfect working order, especially since I plan to buy it from my school. Plus, I've got bad OCD. [/QUOTE]
