Hey all, I'm a recent switcher and this is my first Mac (less than 2 weeks old ), and I want to get into playing guitar through Garageband.
The only problem is that to do almost anything in the program (select menu items, click an option in the program, etc), the beachball shows up and it takes an average of like 5 seconds for the choice to take effect.
This is even stranger because this is the "fresh from the factory" install, and worse yet, my computer is one of the new 8 core Mac Pros, already with 6 gigs of RAM (and 4 more on the way.)
System specs show nearly 100% idle time on the CPU, even with several other programs running and I still have over 3.3 gigs of RAM unused. Garageband is using anywhere from .5 to 1.7% of the CPU, but at the moment the beachball is going and the only way to stop it is to close the program entirely.
Any clue why Garageband might be running this slowly? None of my othe apps act this way...
All help is greatly appreciated!
