my macbook allows me to do just a bit for like 2 minutes then the rainbow ball comes and I'd have to cut it off manually. been doing a bit of streaming and was wondering if i had a bug. I am running snow leopard on a 13" macbook. i tried disk utilities but it didn't sort the problem out.

now i don't know what to do. I took the cd rom out to install another drive. i do music on it so space is really essential to me.

looking forward to your solutions advice.

G'day and welcome to the forums.

First up how much free space on the hard drive? Then you need to connect an optical drive, boot from the Snow Leopard DVD and run Repair Disk.

Next question how much memory is installed, have you installed any new modules or software?
