I don't know where you determined you have a corrupted filesystem and need to use Disk Utility to repair it. Your computer runs hot when sleeping, most likely, because you have something running that does not stop during sleep. You should check what is going on with your third-party software. You also are straining RAM to the point where at times the system is using space on the disk drive to provide needed RAM via virtual memory which is very slow compared to regular RAM.

I got a message from my Mac IDrive app that there has been no backup for four days. The message says the most common cause is the Mac being turned off, but my Mac is always on and connected. IDrive has been working fine for months. IDrive support suggested that I upgrade to version 3.5.1.5 but that's what I have, and they haven't responded. Navigate to Control Panel - Security - Certificate. Click the 'Import certificate' button and import a certificate issued by a certificate authority, the private key paired with the certificate, and the intermediate certificate (optional). To use the SSL certificate for DSM 4.3, Navigate to Control Panel - DSM Settings. Navigate to Control Panel - Security - Certificate. Click the 'Import certificate' button and import a certificate issued by a certificate authority, the private key paired with the certificate, and the intermediate certificate (optional).
