[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1552819, member: 56379"] Your computers specs don't look too terrible (more ram might be better). If I got your iMac model correct...max ram is 6gig (8gig would be better). It's very possible that the "rainbow wheel" you get (without getting too technical) is from not rebooting your computer enough. With 4gig of ram...the situation you describe can begin to occur (if the computer is used a lot/day)...in less than a week. If this is not the case...it can also be caused by a dying hard drive. And also this can occur if you have too many apps open at the same time. Or a combination of some or all of the above. - Nick [/QUOTE]
