    Slow RAM & not 'refreshing' correctly

    Thank you all for the quick response. We will try to monitor the performance by quitting Safari. We will also be querying the Activity Monitor with which specific processes are using the RAM and if any are hanging or not... Will keep you posted.

    My parents Mac has a strange thing happening. They are currently running 10.5.8 on a PowerBook G4 (still running) but every time they open DashBoard for quick access to their widgets, a Safari window pops-up with a 'r1rk9np7bpcsfoeekl0khkd2juj27q3o-a-fc-opensocial.googleusercontent.com' URL...

    White/grey screen without Apple logo

    I'm having some issues with my MacBook Air. Recently it has been slow restarting but now when I try and boot the MBA, all I get is the 'white screen of death' after the chime. No Apple logo. I have waited for a long time and still nothing. Many websites have pointed to the SSD crashing and...

    iPhoto Library, where is it?

    My question is about iPhoto 08. I had previously saved all of my photos on my 250 GB HD but I have upgraded to a 500GB HD. What I did was copied all of my photos into one folder and placed it on the 500 GB. Then I formatted my 250 GB HD for Time Machine backup. I can still import my photos...

    iPhoto 08 indexing question

    I ended up finding out what happened at the Apple Store today. I used to have my iPhoto Library on my 250 GB HD. All I did to transfer the files over to my 500 GB HD was Export the pictures. Then cleared off my 250 GB HD. The Apple Tech checked out my HD on the /Volumes/ folder and found my...

    I have also just checked the "Show photo info" on the newly imported photos for the filename. Then searched spotlight for that identical name and it doesn't find anything. Where else might my photos be importing to?

    iPhoto 08 indexing question

    I have checked my internal drive Pictures folder and it only has: iChat Icons folder, one scanned image and Photo Booth photos. If I "show info" for iPhotos, they all point to the iPhotos that I brought over to the 500 GB HD, and the new photos (ones I import from now) are only in the iPhoto...

    iPhoto 08 indexing question

    I have iPhoto 08, my iPhoto Library is installed on my external 250 GB hard drive. Up until just recently, when I import my photos from my camera, if I 'right click' on my iPhoto Library and click 'Show Package Contents' I could see all of the images saved in either (Modified) or (Originals)...
