That's what I did first and there was nothing wrong. So then I did the ssd data and got the errors. I redid the ssd data just now because you mentioned it and got the same exact errors.



And did you run it on the data volume again afterwards, and what did it report the second time? See above.

Didn't you go through a DNS thing a while back? Not sure, probably. I think it had to do with my new router but didn't seem to be a problem.

If you want to try Open DNS, the numbers are 208.67.220.220 on one line and 208.67.222.222 on a second line in System Prefs > Network > Advanced > DNS, but maybe you ought to wait until you hear from your ISP first.
.

I can try your DNS numbers, but I thought the open DNS numbers were 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4. or is the just Google DNS numbers? And if I put in yours plus the ones that are already there, how does the Mac know which ones to use? Should I delete all those in there and just put in your numbers? I guess I can write down the existing DNS numbers and keep them for the future if yours make a difference. Still haven't heard from my ISP guy. I told him no rush but maybe I shouldn't have said that. frown
