Hello,
I have a mid 2012 pro thaat has gotten incredibly slow, when I type a command, the simplest thing can take 10 seconds.
For instance if I type my complete name into an email, the letters will begin to appear 5 seconds later one at at a time, hesitantly.
Other more complicated commands throw it right into distress mode,m the dreaded color wheel.
It have 4 macs btw, the latest 1 terabyte solid state drive 15" pro, but i still prefer older Iphoto for editing photos.
It has been suggested to me to install a new 1 terrabyte SSD, I was provided with a link to buy one and ship it here to Belize.
I have taken it to the local repair shop for a new hard drive, and they keep insisting that they tested mine and it is fine.
There are no certified Apple Techs or Genius bars here, just as well.
I talked to an Apple genius in the states and he told me my 5&1/2 year old computer is too ancient to be bother supplying parts for.
My question is, is it safe to assume that a new hard drive will solve my problem?
I can just order one, ($300) and insist that they not test mine a 3rd time but simply install new hard drive like they were instructed to do and paid for twice already.
Thanks in advance, photoguy stuck in 3rd world Belize!
