Had a look at the processes. Nothing seems to be hogging at the moment, although skype and growl seem to be using a lot of memory. However, both have been there for ages so that's no change. Set up a test account and get the same delays with the password. So frustrating that I'm...

BTW, it doesn't only happen on login, it's a constant problem on waking from the screensaver. Regards Stephen

Good point, but it works fine when set to automatic login. The problem is patchy. This morning it has varied between 10 seconds and a minute. My login items haven't changed for several weeks, but I'll kick them out one by one and see if that has any effect. Any further thoughts gratefully...

Thought of that Chevy, but I've got 50gb+ of space on a 250gb drive. I'd be a little surprised it that was causing it to be so slow. It's been lower than that and I haven't had the same problem. Thoughts. Stephen

I'm running a 17in Macbook Pro and am finding that when I'm prompted to put in my password, for any reason, it's very slow to respond. This occurs anywhere where I'm prompted for the password. Usually takes between 10 and 30 seconds to respond. I've cleaned up with Onyx. I've not installed...

When I use my laptop in the office it’s attached to a network. When I use it at home, it’s attached to my home network. So far no problems. However, when I’m out of the office it seems to take about 2 minutes for it to think about my password. Then, it usually asks me for it again saying...

All day, every day I get an error message from sync services which says:- This Sync Requires further attention. You might be syncing this data for the first time, or your sync information might have been reset. It then gives me the option to:- Merge all data Replace all data on...

Satcomer I'm running 10.5. Have done the preferences bit and pointed to the directory where the music is located. Still no luck. Do you think it's associated with the file which contains the database of the music files. Stephen

I'm having problems accessing my music in iTunes. I've been into preferences and pointed to the folder where the music is stored, (it's stored on a separate hard drive) but without success. I've copied the songs back to the original folder, but that doesn't work. Been on other forums...

We're a start up with 6 people using Macs. We don't have enough money to get an XServe so we've started up with Network Area Storage for our main files Can someone point in the direction of how we can have a common diary and common address book available to all our team. Any help/advice...

The issue I'm facing is that i can see some of my photos, but when I click on them to show them full screen they I get a blank photo frame with an exclamation mark in the middle. These photos won't print. Other photos I can see and show full screen and they will print. I'm thinking of...

I keep getting two error messages which are becoming really irritating. The first is "Could not find a PPPoE Server". Keeps cropping up and only goes away when I click OK. The second is in relation to Norton Anti Virus which I have uninstalled and replaced. Again I have to click on OK...
