I still have 256 -- the ValueRAM -- but it sure does make a difference even from 384. Things just crawl! I got 512 from MacMall for $119 -- the best price I could find. Thought I'd go for it since I have a little cash right now. My machine's been up since last night now and no freezes! I've been...

Here's a little update ... I called Apple (for free, thank God) and told them the whole problem He was helpful and nice but didn't fix it. So, I called the Apple guy in town (I didn't think we had one anymore -- small town). He suggested I do the zero format thing. So, I did it -- it took a...

One last ditch attempt to solve my problems ... I've had total freezes, many times a day, and it's only when I'm just moving the mouse around the finder -- even with no apps open. I just totally erased and reinstalled 10.2 yet again and haven't installed anything else on it, unplugged all of my...

I can relate! I have a total freeze about 8 times a day. Sometimes I can go an hour -- yesterday I was using Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Fireworks all together (I was testing it) and it was fine. Closed them all and was just moving the mouse in the finder with nothing open and it freezes -- no...

Thanks. I think I will buy a book. I've been doing stuff in the Terminal so I kind of get that whole thing. I just know a little about programming but never made a good effort to learn it -- I took Pascal in college 20 years ago, does that count? I'll go check out the campus bookstore. Thanks again.

That was quick. I'll check it out. Thanks!

I'm so proud of myself for making a script -- and it worked! I've had things hanging in the trash for a while (privilege casualties and all). I might have to try some other ones now. Is there a good place to learn about scripts, shells, etc? I've glanced at Apple's applescript site but would...

I've had so many crashes and freezes since updating to 10.1.3 last week. It's getting to be a real pain. I followed someone's instructions to start up with the S and run fsck -y. So, I tried that and it said it fixed some stuff. When I typed "exit" it continued to start up and then froze when it...

I've been searching for this info and have found so many confusing things ... I still don't understand what to do. I have a dns registered and I used mydomain.com to get the nameservers, etc. It's all working fine. But, I also set up 2 subdomains, let's say sub1.domain.com and...

That's kind of what I was thinking. I was confused because I knew that there weren't any users viewing my site. I won't worry about it then. I'm still looking for info on the NetInfo thing. It's frustrating not to have it but I guess I haven't had a need for it yet. I want to reinstall it but it...

I'm not sure if there should be, but every time I look in the process viewer there are more and more httpd processes running. They all have a different ID number but everything else seems to be the same. Right now there are 4 that are running under "www" and 1 under "root". Do I need all of...

I just had this problem, too. Seemed to be out of the blue as I didn't thing I had changed anything. But I had been "looking" through the httpd.conf file. I guess I must have accidently hit a key or something cuz when I did the restart command I had a tiny little syntax error -- just a stray...

The "hold down the mouse" thing worked. Thanks. I ended up doing a clean install and started from the beginning. It took me a couple days but it's all done now -- finally. It really does run fast! I like it! Now I've got to get php and mysql back up and running. It looks like php is installed...

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I went ahead and tried a few things on my own and really screwed it up. I reinstalled the 10.0.4 update thinking I was may be missing something I needed. I updated the firmware -- I thought I had the most recent update but I didn't. Then I tried 10.1 again...
