Call Apple. Probably still in warranty

s'ok, found the answer on the Apple Support.

Repair Permission on the Hard Drive and it fixed it. Wierd, I've only just got the mac out of the box.!!!

Oh well

Wouldn't have thought that on a brand new machine.

The default installs often aren't perfect. The permissions often need a repair. I personally do a clean install as soon as I pull the machine out of the box.

I've received at least one laptop with a borked OS install out of the box. I've taken to wiping/reinstalling the OS & all included software after initial setup.
