[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1622406, member: 46727"] There are some simple things you can do first: Increase memory in your machine to at least 8GB. Start removing from the hard drive what you can place on an external drive. Your hard drive is getting full and you likely have some fragmentation which slows things down. Another thing you can do is use a maintenance and optimization utility. The only one we recommend is the free [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr"]OnyX utility[/URL]. Do not download or use any other cleaners such as Clean My Mac or MacKeeper. Both are harmful. Something else you can do... Replace the hard drive with a fast SSD. And, don't forget to make backups. ;) [/QUOTE]
