I'm about 3 week into owning my first iMac, an Intel Core Duo system. Anyway, I got a popup the other day that a system update was available and wanted to update the iLife applications and Mac OS X. I went a head and did the upgrade, which took several minutes and a system reboot.
My system is less stable. Applications are crashing and the OS had locked serveral times when I tried to kill (unsuccessfully) various applications that crashed.
Anyone seen this or have any suggestions. I told the system to check for updates tonight, and that process hung as well.
Help me out here guys, I'm not a novice computer user and this is certainly not what I expected from the Mac. I'm considering reinstalling Mac OS, which is easy enough to do, but a bit frustrating since all I've been doing is installing applications from trusted sources such as those recommended by Apple and a few applications found on CNETs Download.com.
Hopefully, this is a known issue. Suggestions and info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve
