This is not a troll thread. I had a thread a couple weeks ago about being disappointed with my new iMac, how slow OS X was, etc. With some advice from other list members, I tweaked the system a litte, pre-binded the entire system, and just recently updated to 10.1.3 then 10.1.4. i thought the whole selling point of OS X was that when something freezes, the rest of the system wouldn't be affected. What about when everything freezes, though?
Five or six times in the last week, in various programs, my new iMac has completely stopped responding. The mouse cursor moves, but that's it. The rest of the screen is frozen, the sound quits working, etc. Apple-Option-Esc to bring up the Force Quit window doesn't work, neither does anything else. What is causing this? Like I said, it's happened 6 times in 5 different programs, so it's not like I have a bad install of one program that keeps freezing or something. I was running 9.1 on my old iMac for 6 months before I got the flat panel and never had any problems like this. Man, I needed to get that off my chest. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
