Okay, well today, strangely, I was downloading a few programs, and all of the sudden my macbook said my memory was full...which I knew for a fact I had about 16gb left. Closed everything, still read that the harddrive was full. Rebooted..which took about 3 or so minutes, whereas its normally 20-30 seconds. However, sure enough, I do, now, in fact have 16 gb or memory.
Why would it all of the sudden tell me that I had no available memory and show in the harddrive's "get info" that it was 159.7/159.7gb, followed by the slowest bootup ever?
I have taken it to the genius bar before, said there could be a HD issue, but to restore it and see what happens. This was months ago and I haven't had any problems since.
seems to be working fine now....but Im afraid to do much, as I dont have anything to backup on right now.
Any insight?
Its a MacBook (aluminum) running OS X 10.6.4.
