Oh ok, think I saw that one, thanks. Sara P.S. I've managed to crash the Mac twice and yes I mean hard shutdowns. I know, Macs never crash but mine does.

Repairing permissions helps to creat a more direct path for your files and programs, so, that your MAC runs more smoothly, this is the quick explanation. Repairing permissions, Go to the utilities directory, from the finder, command-shift-u Then to disk utility, Interact with the table and find your drive, then click on the firstaid tab. VO keys, or, tab over to the repair permissions button and Press it with VO keys-space bar. It may take several minutes and you can VO around and find the report, or, wait until the repair permissions button is not dim.
