Stupid spinning rainbow- maintenance??
I have a Mac less than 1 year old. Everytime I try to do ANYTHING I get that dang rainbow. Then I get.... not responding. It doesn't matter what I'm trying to do, whether it's getting online, using LR, half the time I can't even do OPTION, COMMAND, ESCAPE to even close it out.
I thought maybe I had a virus but from researching on the forums, it doesn't appear that Mac's get them. So how do I fix this? Do I need to run a DISK REPAIR or something like that? I've never done it before. I got my Mac this past October so is there maintenance that I need to do to keep it running smooth. A program I need to have to do this. I'm just frustrated & PO'd
Thanks so much for ANY help anyone can give me.
