Can anyone please help?
I have recently jumped ship from Windows to Apple and bought a new iMac. I have owned it now for about a month. I have just recently noticed already that it seems to be a bit slow and sluggish at opening some apps. A glaring example is iTunes. I will click on iTunes in the dock and where it should open within seconds, the little icon will bounce up and down for a lot longer until the little white light comes on beneath it, then there is still quite a wait, up to 20-30 seconds before the actual app opens up. I have found that going into Disc Utility and optimising the hard drive by clicking on Verify Disc Permissions, then restarting will cure the problem for a while, but it soon starts to slow again. Is there another setting that I should try? Any advice would be most appreciated indeed.
