[QUOTE="jennefur8675, post: 1297208, member: 215208"] I bought my imac used last year and it has been great, but for the last couple of weeks everything takes so long and I am getting that spinning rainbow wheel just about every time I click on something or start typing. I have an imac 2.16ghz intel core 2 duo with 2bg ram running 10.4.11. What can I do to get this thing running back up to the speed it once was? I am new to macs, and need all the help I can get. This is what I have tried so far with the limited knowledge I have.... I emptied the trash. I reset safari. I cleared cache with onyx. and I reset the PRAM (I think thats what it's called) by the instruction of someone else. None of these things got me back up to speed. Do I need to do a virus check or something? I can hardly use this thing anymore because it is so slow. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it! [/QUOTE]
