hi frank, thanks. i did all those tasks-- googled how to! (i am very challenged)
but now you have me confused between going into activity monitor and noting the pie shaped graph that says I have 189.39 free of 768 (MB?KB) and 'memory'. I guess I got the right numbers. just have to clean house and free more space. --- On Fri, 24/4/09, Frank Kennedy <[email protected]> wrote: From: Frank Kennedy <[email protected]> Subject: [sussex_mug] Re: Mac attack To: [email protected] Date: Friday, 24 April, 2009, 4:39 PM Do you mean memory or do you mean hard drive space? You need to go into: Finder/mackintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor o check on how much memory you're using. However, I think it's more likely you want to know how much disk space you have left, which is: Finder/mackintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Whatever you do, don't reformat! (half-humourous quip there). If you click on the drive you want, presumably Mackintosh HD, and then look on the bottom right-hand half of the widow, you'll see the size of the disk shown and how much is used/free. While you're there you could click on Repair Disk, which will sort out any fragmentation issues (hopefully!) Good luck,Frank. If that doesn't work, have a word with Sam. 2009/4/24 anna churchill <[email protected]> Lord. this all just reminded me i need to check how much memory i have left. i forgot where i click to get current available memory status! i see the about this Mac; it says Processor 1.2 Ghz, Memory 768 MB DDR SDRAM, L2 Cache 512. But i cant find my way to where it gives you current available memory. last time i checked a couple years ago i had used about half. --- On Fri, 24/4/09, tcrooks <[email protected]> wrote: From: tcrooks <[email protected]> Subject: [sussex_mug] Re: Mac attack To: "Sussex Mac User Group" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, 24 April, 2009, 8:59 AM On 23 Apr, 19:44, anna churchill <[email protected]> wrote: > My iBook G4 is nowt 4 years old and I havent upgraded a thing and still runs like a top! > > Of course we know I do nothing extravagant Anna, As it should be! We have 2 iBook G4s and they continue to give faultless service to the family for email, web browsing, IM'ing, and other basic usage. Falling behind on things like TV programme streaming as streaming bandwidth deployed increases. I'm intending to use one of the iBooks as a server when my twins push off to uni for as long as it, as you say, runs like a top! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
