Happy Computer

Migrating an old Mac to a new Mac can be a chore. Especially when you’re me. Technically challenged.

It took me three times before I thought I got it right.

Tuesday I downloaded a schwack of HD footage for my Final Cut Pro X class.

Then the fans started coming on. My battery life went down to zilch. I was baffled.

They weren’t turning off.

Even at night.

Too much on the desktop maybe?
Nope.

Advice from here and there – re-install. Start all over again. But before that dump the goods to a back-up drive.

Finally I went to the be all and know all. The Coordinator of my Program.

“Should I book it into the Mac store?” I ask sullenly.

While still under warranty a “Diagnostic” test was advised.

The forums I’d read clearly indicated, “Houston, you have a serious problem.”
Before heading over I tried one last thing.
MacKeeper.

Then I had to plug in and sure enough the fans fired up again.

I’d been having issues when logging in. As well as with iTunes. So I broke down. But I called first.

Was told two to four days. First come first served.

But… but, but I’m an EMD student… I need my computer!

I arrive. Pathetic all over my face.

I’m given time. I’ve given expertise. I met a GENIUS!

Yup, the Mac Station dude fixed me up.

Got his goat on the iTunes issue but he killed it.

And brought my computer back to life.

Happy computer.

Happy ME!
