[QUOTE="andski, post: 942933, member: 131559"] Hey all. I'm new here. I recently inherited my aunt's Apple iBook G4 (the white one). Almost perfect condition on the outside. Comes with all her pics and documents and crap. I'm aware it's an old iBook but I wish I could clean up the junk and make it work at full speed again? It's my first Apple laptop and I don't know much about it. Like if I was on Windows I know Diskcleanup DiskDefragm and etc etc... is there anything like that on the iBook i could do to boost it? Maybe if you could send me a guide on how to clean up the junk which is making it slow. If memory serves me right - 512mb RAM, 1.6 Gz and 40 or 80 HDD. Should I just reinstall the OS? How do I do that? Any other guide, you can throw on me is very appreciated. I really wanna free a lot of space since only 1.7 GB is free now.. I do that it's gonna be a bit faster right? Also when I delete some of her programs? Thanks in advance and sorry for the stupid question but I'm new. [/QUOTE]
