Hi all,

Problem 1
Ive been having problems with my MBP. recently it takes 10 minutes+ to boot into lion i was told by the apple advisor to reinstall lion from scratch, which I did in store, EVERYTHING was deleted.

When i got home i tried to reinstall the iLife apps from Time Machine with no luck :( (version error) i don't have the CD's as this was lost during my move to manchester.

I do have the mac mini app cd's but it dosen't install under lion :( is there anyway i can download the cd's? I have the original Snow Leopard cd but the iLife has gone?

Problem 2
My mac freezes randomly even after problem 1 fix. an example of the is i'm watching a video, whether on VLC, DVD Player or online i get the same flash error? and then the annoying ball of death spins constantly. i cant [CMD + SHIFT] to FINDER nor can i click the :apple: logo to access FORCE QUIT. the only programs i have installed are the above mentioned and iWork's '09.

All the updates have been done. and the worst thing about this is that is started over xmas and its getting worst, my apple care ended on NYE so i don't think i can get it looked at in store.

What can i do???

Thanks guys/gals
