Re: All Bitcoind / Bitcoin-qt nodes failing to come up. Workaround inside!

i dont have that file inside the bitcoin folder

That's okay, you can just create it and add the line gmaxwell mentioned.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin#Bitcoin.conf_Configuration_File

How exactly? I'm not a techie and that link doesn't make sense to me...(I have a Mac)

dont worry about the link just create a new file and add "checklevel=2" inside that file as text and then save as bitcoin.conf.
