Specs:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Running OS 10.6 (haven't software updated yet, explain below)
To tell the back story, out of left field running 10.5 a few weeks ago, my imac just became incredibly bogged down. I did all the usual in the attempt to fix the issue, but to no avail. A friend (and a man with slightly more experience involving macs) suggested it was time to make the switch to Snow Leopard. I acquired a copy, and installed. The problem wasn't fixed and still had issues. All browsers would crash after a certain time, the spinning wheel of death was more prevalent and some programs would just simply freeze. It was then I repaired the disk, which said was a success, it wasn't. Then I tried /sbin/fsck -f which said it was a success. I dealt with it for a little and then figured what the heck and tried again. When I was greeted with this error:
Invalid sibling tree
(4,9)
Rebuilding Catalog B-tree
Unable to rebuild (or something along those lines)
So then I figured I would try another disk repair (ultimately just stabbing in the dark at this point) and it was then that it said I needed to reformat my drive that it was unable to repair disk permissions. So I did. It took 8 hours for Snow Leopard to do a clean install (which i highly doubt is normal) and the problem is still not fixed. At this time, i'm doing all the necessary software updates to see if it will help.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Atticus
