Hello,
I have had my imac for about a year now (bought it used) In the last few weeks it began to run slower and slower. The rainbow wheel spins and spins when on the internet, my kodak and other photo editing software run slow, it's now at a slow crawl compared to when I first got it. I googled common fixes to my problem and I have fixed the permissions on the disk utility, I have reset Safari, and I have emptied my trash. None of these fixes have sped it up. This is my first mac and I am very unknowledgeable on what to do when a mac has issues. Can someone please help me? This is my business computer and I really need it to function right!! Thank you so much!!
specs:
imac 2.16 ghz intel core 2 duo
2 gb ram
10.4.11
232 gb hard drive space
181 gb free hard drive space
Also, I have a copy of snow leopard waiting to be installed, but someone told me not to install it since I am running Tiger and Snow Leopard won't work. Can someone please clarify if I can or should install Snow Leopard. Thanks again, I really appreciate it!!
