Re: Slow Mac Mini G4

Hi Rick Not sure what you're asking, but I've found running an app like Onyx that cleans up many things from the back end workings, to be very helpful. It's free and relatively safe if you just use the preset default cleansing. Backing up prior is always a good idea! Tim Sent from my

Re: Slow Mac Mini G4

Hi Rick, You don't mention what steps you have taken to try to speed up the Mac mini G4 Only 10GB free space on the Hard Drive is not good for a start. If your hard drive is nearly full, your Mac will run more slowly. A few suggestions for you to try: 1. I would first try to slim down the

Re: Slow Mac Mini G4

Step 7. Buy a new super fast MacMini Intel that will run everything so much better and only costs $699. Give it to your wife as a Xmas present. Step 8. Win, and be in the good books all Xmas! and beyond :o) Step 9. Drop hints for something new :o) Sorry,..couldn't resist adding to Ronni's

Re: Slow Mac Mini G4

Thanks Ronni, all points considered, I think that item 4 and 6 may be the most beneficial, I was a bit worried when disk utility was struggling and had to turn the iMac off but started up OK and have run disk utility now again to repair permissions. On 24/11/2012, at 12:27 PM, Ronni Brown

Re: Slow Mac Mini G4

Hi Rick, What iMac are you talking about? Won't help much if you don't do all the suggestions. If I knew you were not prepared to try suggestions, I would not have wasted my time typing them. I agree with Daniel, give the Mac mini G4 the flick, and purchase a new Mac mini Intel or pay a bit

Re: Slow Mac Mini G4

Sorry Ronni, I hope you didn't misunderstand, I am doing all your valid suggestions to get it running a little better then it is, so your advice has not gone astray. It has made it easy because your instructions are very concise to follow. I hope you haven't taken offence because your advice is

That's ok Rick, I did misunderstand and was a bit abrupt to you, I do apologise for being so. Sent from Ronni's iPad 4 On 24/11/2012, at 1:03 PM, Rick Armstrong a...@iinet.net.au wrote: Sorry Ronni, I hope you didn't misunderstand, I am doing all your valid suggestions to get it running a

memory for macbook
