[QUOTE="Barbara Jay, post: 1321142, member: 188741"] When I bought my iMac the store offered several free mini seminars and I took all of them. In one we were taught how to "Repair Disk Permissions" and told that should be done periodically . Downloads including from Apple can land in the wrong place and mess things up. On the Disk Utility screen there is an icon on the upper left ( looks like a microscope) that will check the health of the HD. The trainer said it will say Failed if it senses the HD is going bad. When I run Repair Disk Permissions I also check the HD. It is no guarantee it can't fail after it appeared to be OK , but if it says it is going bad I will have a heads up. Thanks again [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
