I have a mid-2009 13" Macbook Pro (2.53GHz) 8GB Ram. Last week, my HD died. Bought a new Seagate Momentus 750GB 7200rpm, loaded up Snow Leopard all fine and dandy. Then after using it for 10 minutes, I can't save files, can't open some web pages, can't download anything (message comes up saying I don't have space). I reboot with the OS media, go into Reset Password option and do a reset of the Home Folder Permissions. I boot back into the OS and again, I work fine for about 15 minutes, when all of a sudden I encounter the same problems as earlier. I do tests from Disk Utility, and results say all is okay. Rebooting to Reset Home Folder Permissions again solves the issue until it happens again after using the Mac for about 10 to 15 minutes.
I returned the Seagate drive and got a WD 500GB 5400rpm drive. Loaded Snow Leopard, etc, etc,....then as I'm working away, after 15 minutes or so, again the same thing with permissions starts again. Again, after rebooting with the Snow Leopard Media and doing a reset of the Home Folder Permisions solves the issue temporarily. WTF? Have anyone run into this before?
