Maybe, but the iMac is only five weeks old - seems like it shouldn't have aquired any such problems yet.

Anyway, I guess I'd look into permissions repair through the disk utility/first aid?

I've never seen this before. Perhaps a permission repair? Just my guess.

Occasionally, I'll get a situation where an app, for no apparent reason, (such as processing large data files etc) will go into "Busy" mode and stay there until I kill it in Activity monitor. It just happened again in the Help Viewer. Checking it in activity monitor, I see that the Help Viewer app is stuck using approx 85% of CPU, and it just stays there - its been around 10 minutes so far.

I'm going to end the process, but does anyone have an explanation for this lockup?
