Hi Donna, I am so sorry that you have been having so many problems with getting this machine running and and that you have to send it back for return. I am very convinced that whatever was trancefered over from your Time Machine backup is the proble. I hope that you are able to get some sort of conciliation out of this. Maybe explaining the situation to them that they will be able to help. I wish you luck with everything. Matthew
