Dear All
I recently purchased a second hand G4 ibook with 30G, 1G RAM 800MGz
running 10.3.8. At the moment there is only 9 G available. I
optimized with Onyx and gained 2 G, but I still feel that although
there are a quite a few applications I should have more space
available. Has anyone experienced this problem or have any
suggestions? I just download tinker tool systems, but alittle uneasy
to make any major changes with advice. Also, does anyone know how to
delete old mail addresses from the system? I have searched and
deleted all the usual places eg. address book etc, but they still
come up in my mail account when I write new emails. One more
question, how do I change the name of Home without re-format[t]ing?
I'm not sure why you're asking about removing stuff from the previous
owner and then continue with the statement: "without re-formatting".
If it were my iBook I sold to you, I'd have given it to you with a fresh
restore CD image, cleaning anything that was previously on it. If I had
bought it, I'd have formatted the drive and used the restore CD.
Some things you may wish to think about:
* Do you know that the drive has no illegal content on it - think
photos.
* Do you know that the drive has no spy ware on it, reporting your
on line purchases, bank passwords, credit card details etc. back
to the previous owner?
* Do you know that the drive has illegal software on it - you are
now the owner and likely liable.
So, I'd be formatting the drive if it were me.
