[QUOTE="RadioSaigon, post: 1332984, member: 161927"] Have you recently installed OS-X Lion over OS-X Snow Leopard? If you have, then I have had a similar (but not quite as extreme) issue. I can't tell you why it happens, but this sounds very similar to what I experienced after upgrading to Lion. The only resolution I could find was to do a [I]complete[/I] backup of [B]all[/B] my data-files for [I]every[/I] software package I have, reformat my HDD and do a clean installation of OS-X Lion. For me (some months down the track now) that has worked well. It's a pain reinstalling and reconfiguring all the software again... but worth a little inconvenience rather than wait until your system crashes due a lack of space, then try to sort it all out! I hope that's of some assistance, if indeed it is what your problem is. If you go down this route, please pay special care & attention to backing-up every data-file you have. [/QUOTE]
