- Your Mac's Specs
- Mac Pro: 2.66ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 4gb Ram, ATi X1900 XT 512MB, 1TB HDD, 19" LCD
Had my mac pro around 2 years now and I have re-formated about 4 or 5 times. Why? Because all of a sudden it becomes very slow. Like now for example, I haven't changed anything, haven't installed anything but the whole system has just turned mega slow! Safari has crashed 4 times trying to write this thread, programs take ages to respond, opening new tabs in safari takes a good 5-10 seconds.
The whole system is just super slow and the only thing to fix it, is to re-format.
I try macjanitor, onyx, clam XAV, macsweeper. None of it helps. For example if I click on finder and then apps. It takes a good 5 seconds to show them, dashboard is very laggy etc etc
Here are my system specs:
2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon
4 GB RAM
1 X 250 GB - Main HDD (around 30Gb left)
1 X 200 GB - Uni work (around 100GB left)
1 X 500 GB - Multimedia (around 100GB left)
Boot up times are slow, sometimes it wont chime and I have to turn off mac for 10 mins and start it up again to get it working. Sometime the keyboard and mouse till take 5 mins to work.
It is all very random and I wish I didn't have to re-format ever time it gets lagged down but I dont know of any other option?
Help!!
