[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1669370, member: 204485"] Ah yes I remember those days. So there are at least 9 reasons I can think of why a Mac may run slow other than system or mechanical faults. 1. Spotlight is still indexing the drive. This may include external drives. 2. Software updates running. 3. Low disk space 4. Low RAM 5. Something using most of the CPU processing capacity. 6. Too many apps open at the same time. 7. Not enough RAM for your usage. 8. A desktop full of clutter, more icons than wallpaper. 9. Failing Hard Drive. Some of these are easily eliminated and others are not but it's usually one of these. A slow process of elimination is the only way to find out Sent from my iPhone using Mac Forums. [/QUOTE]
