Slow bootup?
Hi there: The Leopard machine below (purchased new last summer) seems to be getting slower and slower to start up. I run Cocktail monthly and downloaded and ran OnyX just the other day, but with no apparent improvement. What are some things I can do to help move it along, short of pouring caffeine into the DVD slot? As usual my thanks in advance! *** Bill Spencer in Maryland IMac Core Duo 2.4 ghz/1 g RAM/Leopard IMac Core Duo 1.83 ghz/1 g RAM/Tiger --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Error: timeout Offending command: timeout Stack: After this point, a second job will not print unless the imac and printer are rebooted. There is no error message displayed on the printer. Uploading the latest Laserjet 4 Plus drivers for the MAC doesn't help. Are you using the PCL driver or the PS driver (does it have the PS DIMM?) What is the brand of the USB to Parallel adapter? I'm vaguely remembering some issues with such an adapter a long time ago at work. I think I have the solution written down there somewhere. -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are B.

Try booting up in safe mode (holding down the shift key) then rebooting, this may fix some caches that Onyx isn't. -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are B.
