Mine was better, I included a big red box
I supplied a working link! 🙂
Hi CMCSK,
Ya none of those are showing up on my scree.
Anyways, thanks for the link. I've went through those steps earlier but when I paste the text in my terminal they dont vanish like directions say they would.
I can see were it says process started and when it says process complete. What I do next is quit terminal and the results should be copied on the clipboard but they arent. All I get is the same text that I pasted in the beginning.
Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
So does this mean that theres nothing else that I can do to try and fix the issue?
Would reinstalling a new copy of OS X from the utilities menu erase all my previous info, pics/songs etc.
You can do a forum and Google search for other solutions. Diagnostic testing at an Apple Store is free.
Normally no. You should have a back up.
The closest Apple store is 4 hours away, I searched on google for a AASP and it looks like theres a store kinda close to me.
When on the utilities menu I select to back up from time macine back all it says its searching and nothing comes up.
External drive connected to your computer?

No external drive just the computer.
Thanks for the links.

User Tip: Backup now, or forever hold your peace
Bulletproof backups: When you absolutely can't lose any data
Never consider any computer a data storage device, rather a data creation ,sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake.
Never backup your data exclusively upon magnetic hard drives or flash storage, nor consider same since magnetic storage degrades over time even under ideal conditions.
Store important data on multiple servers on multiple continents.
Burn important data onto multiple copies of archival DVDs and store same in cool dark fireproof safes, hidden places, secret places, multiple places.
Don’t burn data onto junk DVD’s purchased from consumer level electronics stores. These are not archival long life DVD’s nor reliable, nor trustworthy.
When data can be made to be everywhere, then there is nowhere it can be erased or destroyed.
Most importantly know that 2 copies of your data is 1, and 1 is none, and 1000 copies stored in one place or building, is also the same as none when a fire occurs.
Always consider and expect your computer’s hard drive to completely crash anytime, at all times, and thou shalt keep a cloned and updated hard drive handy at all times to return to immediate productivity and avoid program and parameter reinstallation and tweaking.
When your data is decentralized, it becomes both everywhere and nowhere, accessible to all, destructible by none, cannot be collected together or permanently retrieved under any circumstances.
