[QUOTE="bluemoon222, post: 855624, member: 29810"] I took my MBP to 10.5.7 after a couple of weeks of hesitancy. All was fine until a couple of days ago and now I have 2 major utility issues: 1. Console hangs when I open it and practically hangs the entire system. If I wait for a LONG time (10 - 15 mins) it eventually shows some console messages but from Activity Monitor I still see it in hang state) 2. Terminal is slow to return a prompt....if I start terminal I get a blank screen with no prompt for 10 - 15 secs. After that time I eventually get a prompt back I have a SuperDuoper backup (of 10.5.7) which I can boot to. I have checked and the backup does not have any of the issues with Console and Terminal that my main image does. I could restore from my backup although it is a few days old and I will lose some document edits and folder organisation I have done in the mean time (think I might be able to get around that by offloading all of the documents to a share first and then doing the restore and after the restore moving the documents back) but was wondering if there might be a more graceful way to reload Terminal and Console than this ? Is there a plist file I can remove and reinitialise for each ? [/QUOTE]
