Re: booting taking forever?
Wow, Søren, thanks for all these suggestions! I'll try them out and see what works. I did try a Repair Permissions again yesterday, but that didn't help. So, really appreciate all this, it gives me someplace to go next. Take care, Donna On Apr 28, 2010, at 4:16 PM, Søren Jensen wrote: Hi. You can try the following: Restart your RAM by holding down option, command and the characters p and r while the machine is booting up. you have to hold down these 4 keys just after you've heard the Apple chime sound, and keep holding the keys down until the sound has been repeeded 3 or 4 times. You could also try to insert your Mac OSX install disc, boot up from it and choose to repair your harddrive using disc utilities. An other great idea is to close all your running wegits if you don't use them. You can do it by doing the following: 1: Press f12 or fn f12 to bring up the dash board. 2: Bring up the window chooser by pressing Vo f2 twice, just so you'll know how many running wegits you have. 3: Choose one of the wegits you wanna close, and press Vo command f2 to close the wegit. Keep press Vo command f2, and confirm by hitting the return key to close the selected wegit, until you've closed all the wegits. I hope this will speed your computer up a bit.

Re: booting taking forever?
I'm afraid I don't have the link any more but I'm sure if you enter onyx mac OSX in google it should come up. it's free and very usable with voice over.

Re: booting taking forever?
Hi. You can try the following: Restart your RAM by holding down option, command and the characters p and r while the machine is booting up. you have to hold down these 4 keys just after you've heard the Apple chime sound, and keep holding the keys down until the sound has been repeeded 3 or 4 times. You could also try to insert your Mac OSX install disc, boot up from it and choose to repair your harddrive using disc utilities. An other great idea is to close all your running wegits if you don't use them. You can do it by doing the following: 1: Press f12 or fn f12 to bring up the dash board. 2: Bring up the window chooser by pressing Vo f2 twice, just so you'll know how many running wegits you have. 3: Choose one of the wegits you wanna close, and press Vo command f2 to close the wegit. Keep press Vo command f2, and confirm by hitting the return key to close the selected wegit, until you've closed all the wegits. I hope this will speed your computer up a bit.
