osX10.4.11 last gen G5 iMac. These are just the things I've noticed so far. Yesterday when I woke up and went to my computer it had a problem getting out of sleep mode and I had to do a hard shutdown. I went to run my Disk Utility and it just sits there saying "Gathering Disk Information..." with that fancy spinning thing below it. I just ran it a week or two ago just fine. My external WD drive will not appear on the desktop. My 4gb flash drive will not appear on the desktop. My upper right corner Spotlight field will not return any results. Does anybody have slightest bit of light they could shed on my troubles?
