[QUOTE="ChrissyAA3, post: 1326914, member: 212718"] Hello all! First off, sorry if all this seems a tad noobish, but thats exactly what I am to OS X. Well, basically, theres two main problems. The first off which is Safari. Its not uncommon for when I put my Macbook to sleep and then rewake it, for absaloutly nothing to load. I try turning off my WiFi but it does nothing. So then I figure ill close it, but when I try this it doesn't happen, so ill try Force Closing it. Notta. It just sits there in my Dock, bouncing. The only way to get it going again is to restart. This is more then an inconvenience. To be honest, I'm let down by my new Mac life so far. I was expecting it to run perfectly, but so far (and I'm honestly not just saying this) I've had more problems with it then I have with Windows. I use Windows at work and I don't get anywhere near the problems that I do with my new Macbook, and considering the premium I've paid for my Macbook, this isn't really acceptable. My second problem is again internet based. It is stupidly common for the internet on my Macbook to just die. It'll state that I'm connected, but i have to disconnect from my WiFi and then reconnect to it to get it going again. THis problem is intermittent, and can be from every minute, to every half an hour. Other times it works for a few days, then comes back. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a rant, I'm just a little disappointed. I still love my Macbook (and am very excited to learn about it) but I just feel that its perhaps over hyped? I guess the point in this is to ask if anyone can give me a hand as to diagnosing these problems (preferably the second one most of all). Do I need to look over some logs or anything? Im running a 15inch 2011 Macbook Pro Thank you! Chris [/QUOTE]
