[QUOTE="MARTINSR, post: 1643939, member: 207336"] Update, I doubled the RAM...it seemed to help for an hour or so, no kidding, then back to the spinning rainbow wheel of death. It hung in for another week or so then crashed a horrible death. I put another hard drive and it's working great! I needed the extra RAM anyway so no big deal. I do have to say that Time Machine with an external hard drive (I have a PASSPORT) is [B][U]amazing! [/U][/B] I put a flash drive with the Maverick operating system in a USB port and turned it on. After a big of time trying to figure out what the **** it wanted me to do click on things that didn't exist and that sort of thing. I finally got it going uploading what was on the PASSPORT onto the new hard drive. About 45 minutes later I look over and there was my desktop with my darling little grand daughter playing! I did nothing more, it works like a charm with every thing as if nothing ever happened. Thank you all for the help, I appreciated it greatly. Brian [/QUOTE]
