Jan 7, 2013 6:26 PM in response to shldr2thewheelby Juliehu,I didn't use a program. I went to cache and deleted that stuff. Then I went to disk quality and clicked on permission repair. Then I went to erase extra space.

Jan 7, 2013 6:28 PM in response to Juliehuby thomas_r.,How did you clean it? It's important to understand that Macs don't actually need any kind of cleaning. See:

I suspect that whatever you did deleted more than it should have, damaging your system. Do you have any backups? What version of Mac OS X are you running?
