    Ever since I updated my MacBook, I can't open Safari without it crashing, can't even click on a link. Something's also up with Spotlight Search, it keeps appearing and disappearing and it's sort of driving me nuts. Does anyone know a fix for this yet? I hate it. Also, my battery is draining FAST.
