Hi Ronni,
Thanks for your help. I checked the Activity monitor and nothing seemed to
be taking too big a percentage.
Nothing is taking more than 0.8% of CPU.
The largest items of Real Memory are 148 MB for Earth Desk Core, 109 MB for
iClip, 70MB for Entourage and 30 MB for URL Manager.

Hi Lloyd,
What are the specifications of your Mac?
How full is the hard drive?
How much memory is installed?
Are you running OSX programs or those that require the use of Rosetta?
1. The most obvious is check Activity Monitor for signs of applications or
utilities that may be chewing up CPU
Thanks Yvonne and James. I have done everything you suggested, but
still have the problem.
It may not occur for an hour, but then the mouse takes off on its own

it can take me a minute or two to gain control of it again and that is

Hi Lloyd,
Your computer is unwell. It should never be that slow, regardless of
OS. You have the option of starting up in Safe Mode which is quite
limited but turns of any optional plug-ins.

Thanks for the replies
Yes, I removed all the tapes and the orange protective cap leaving just the

I have a magic mouse on my office MacPro that has 2x20 screens and my desk is
a pine desk! I have no problems at all and
to go from one screen to the other is just a flick of the wrist. I am not to
sure what to suggest in your case but it works fine
for me :)
I am using 10.6.2 as you
Hi All,
Some time ago... 2008 I think... I enquired with the list about scanners to use
for old colour and black and white photos. Ronni came back and recommended the
Epson Stylus Photo TX700W MFP Wireless Printer. I am now in the market to buy
and wondered whether in the time that has
Thanks to Roger for your user experience.
Thanks to Ronni for the MagicPrefs link. The link leads to an expanding
discussion on fixing the tracking speed issue experienced by SOME Mac
users, and also to other commercial Magic Mouse replacement software.
I am very reluctant to
I have one lying around here somewhere I will have a look tommorrow

Graham's iMac [PowerPC G5(3.0), 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM running Leopard] is
still connected to the Network but it is very slow and most sites
won't load.
Firefox is unable to load the iinet Home Page. It will load small

Sometimes Safari will load the iinet
Hi,
I tried both these and of the two only MagicPrefs has been stable,
after a few launches the prefs window for BetterTouchTool would no
longer load.
Removing it's prefpane and restarting seems to have uninstalled it.
MagicPrefs increased the tracking speed and enabled the greatly missed
A couple of people have mentioned to me off-list that they had disappointing

a couple examples of scanned negatives in the comments of a blog post I

Hi Diana,
Have you read yesterdays posts Subject: SLOW Leopard?
Especially James Devenish last reply.
The lack of RAM would be attributing to the slowness.
Plus, older drives are significantly slower than current drives.
But, it certainly sounds sick ...
How old is this iMac, 2003 / 2004
Hi James Ronnie,
Thanks for all this info.
I rebooted in Safe Mode. My USB thumb drives then refused to show up at all,
nor did the ext drives. But I think the computer was marginally faster.
The two Google sites took roughly the same time but I had to move the cursor
to make the site open
Hi Ronda
Yes I did, and I tried Safe Boot which was very slow to start up and
showed no improvement in connectivity. I was not sure how relevant
the messages were as Lloyd was referring to Snow Leopard and Graham
uses Leopard.
We bought the iMac on 23/11/04 and it is described as M9249X/A,
Hi Lloyd,
Just on the Sandisk Cruzer.
The Sandisk CD will stay there. As far as I'm aware it has to be formatted with
Windows software or through their website which only works with Windows, to get

Hi David,
My brother purchased an Epson V350 that I have been using.
It scans 35mm filmstrips, and also does a great job with colour and B/W
It is great and very quick. I think he bought it from a computer shop at
www.myshopping.com.au
I think it was around the $200 or so mark
Kind regards
