Thanks Hellhammer, so will I just basically go to disk utility and click the repair disk?

Thanks

Yup, it's very simple. While you're in the Disk Utility, verify the disk too (it's the button next the permissions repair button)

Thanks Hellhammer,its working..another prob with my mini is that some of my movie downloads will not play on the quicktime player,other downloads will do run.Any tips on how to reconcile this?

again thanks a lot for the needed help.

Might be because QuickTime doesn't support all formats. Install Perian, it adds support to QT for most formats. If they still don't work, use VLC to watch them, it supports pretty much every format. Haven't found a video that doesn't work with it

I have my VLC, if it will not run with Quick Time, VLC is the saviour.
