[QUOTE="Rimmer, post: 927870, member: 44647"] When I buy a new Mac, I always reinstall the OS from fresh. I have had a number (and seen a number) of Mac's not work well with the factory install. I don't know why but it's a fact in my experience. Worth a go. A new Mac will beach ball sometimes but not for that long unless you've demanded a load from it, have a small amount of ram or hardly any HD space left.. Regards. Rimmer p.s. There is a chance your Mac is trying to index the HD's for searching (spotlight). There is something to be said about leaving it on whilst you do something else for a while. This give the chance for the 'puter to get on with some house keeping and regimented tasks. If you haven't stuffed too much stuff on it, i'd go with a back up and a reinstall. [/QUOTE]
