Jan 18, 2012 12:23 PM in response to Csound1by lorilovesyou,I took it to the Mac Store last week and they did that for me. They didn't want to run too many other diagnostics because I didn't have Time Machine set up (or any full backup--I know, I know!--fixed now), so I was planning on taking it back this week, but it's snowing like crazy.
Should I be worried? Should I just let it rest?
