Q: wheel of death
Hello Everyone.
Have this rainbow wheel problem.
I love my iMac, however its not very well. I use my imac for a couple of core tasks only .. so its not full of Apps and other software. I am so careful in what I download. I dont like clutter on a computer.
Started to have the spinning wheel problem aout 2 months ago.
I am not computer wizard.
Does this Etre Check saying anything. Have read other posts and followed re-sitting of pram, repair disk and permissions. Others are telling me by disk is about to fail? The computer is only 2 years old.
Would welcome any thoughts.
Thanks
Shaun
