Hello everyone! I just bought a 1.2 GHz iBook G4 ... first Mac ever, trying to get used to how it works >.>
It keeps beach balling, though! Just clicking on "Applications" in the Finder causes it to become unresponsive for several minutes. So did trying to download and install Adium. I repaired disk permissions, and that didn't help. I even had the Activity Monitor open at one point and tried to Force Quit and everything, and that still didn't do anything. I've been restarting this thing a lot!
What could cause this? Does anyone know? Is the hard drive bad or something? Any help would be appreciated ...
