Graham's iMac [PowerPC G5(3.0), 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM running 10.3.9]
has become extremely slow.
All applications run slowly and collecting email or using the
Internet is so slow as to be useless. The connection is OK because
my G5 still works well.
I repaired permissions but that has not helped.
Can anyone suggest what is wrong/how to fix it?
Best wishes to all from Diana
Hi Diana ,
So how much spare hard drive space is there ... ?
When the Mac is short of Ram it writes out to the hard drive on
temporary files ,
so a nearly full hard drive will cause everything to slow up .
It's good to have 25% of the drive free .
Cheers
Bob
