[QUOTE="alexknibb, post: 656607, member: 50738"] Hi Soulwar. Thanks for the response. I've installed OnyX, and will have a good nose around it (it's a little scary for a Mac newbie!), so thanks for that link. The problems I'm having are mostly to do with crashes and freezes, often from waking from sleep. I'm also having a few problems with iTunes (seemingly) freezing the OS, so I'm going to try reinstalling iTunes. I'm keeping an Excel log of each crash - what I've been doing at the time, programs running, etc - and once that's a little more populated I'll bring it back to these forums to see if anyone can spot the problem. As most of my problems are freezes which require me to hit the power button, are there any log files I can consult to try and troubleshoot? Or is there any particular information you suggest I start recording in my Excel document? Thanks again, :) Al. [/QUOTE]
