I worked on this system for quite a while last night. It froze several times, and was really frustrating to use. Console didn't show any error messages, or even any messages at all during a freeze. But, it did show one on startup from a component of the CanoScan Toolbox 4.1. The component was...

Jeff, I hadn't thought about Spotlight being a possible cause. I checked it out, and it seems that the index has indeed finished. So, it's probably not that. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep watch with Console and see if that gives me any clues. So far, I haven't seen a freeze...

I've reinstalled several times lately. One thing that helps me is that when I install a new application, I try to install it in "Applications (Local)". Not all apps allow this, but for the ones that do, I don't have to worry about overwriting them on a system reinstall. It doesn't solve the...

I used to try to do that, but I finally gave up and bought a hard drive big enough to hold everything at once. I'm really glad I did. Right now, I've got about 15K tracks, and they use up about two-thirds of the space on a 120 GB drive. In a couple of years when my collection gets too big, I'm...

Jeff, I think I don't understand something about your suggestion. Is this something to help diagnose a hang while booting? If so, that's not what my computer does. It boots normally, then intermittently hangs later while I'm working. In any case, I might be able to run for a few hours...

I recently put 10.4 on my old Blue & White G3. I installed it on a brand new hard drive after removing the drive with 10.2 on it. (I still have the original small drive with 9.2) Shortly thereafter, I started noticing that the GUI would freeze for a minute or two at a time, at about 5-15...

I'm having a similar problem with my Blue&White G3 running 10.4. I just installed it and saw this happen starting within a few days. My cursor moves and that's the only thing. Everything else including the clock freezes, and I don't get a beach ball. I wait one to two minutes, and it comes back...

When you say 'freeze', if you wait for 10-15 minutes, does it come back? I'm chasing something similar, except my cursor still moves. It's the only thing that moves though. Then, after about 2 minutes, it comes back and everything is fine until the next time.
