Hi Carlo, I bought the MacBook Pro from David Jones in May 2008, to replace my trusty G3 15 PowerBook which I'd had since April 2000 and which had never let me down and was running well on the then latest available version of Mac OS and every application I had. My justification for replacing the

Hi everyone. Since upgrading to Lion I am getting freezes when awaking from sleep. (My iMac, not me). I have tuned off everything, such as EarthDesk, etc before letting it sleep but it still freezes when trying to open any application after waking it. The Finder seems to freeze. I looked for the

Hi Lloyd, Have you installed the Lion update 10.7.1? Some people have found the update has corrected 'wake from sleep' freezes. I don't think the problem is your desktop preference file, as it is only happening after 'wake from sleep'. Have you tried Resetting PRAM and NVRAM Shut down the
