Q: mid 2009 macbook pro freezing badly, please help
I ran the etrecheck but I'm not really tech savvy so I could seriously use a hand please!! It seems to start out ok but then it freezes and I'm stuck with the spinning wheel of death. If I leave it alone maybe 5-10 min it will catch up but I'm so frustrated I could punt the laptop across the room. Thanks in advance for any help!
