Nerds Only! +++K+++ (Slow Mac help!) :(

[ButteredToast.]

Ok so I have a somewhat old Imac G5, not that old, i'd say only about meh, 3-4 years? It has 2GB of RAM. I have 3.5 GB free.

But this thing is SLOWWW. And I can't figure out for the life of me why!!!

Someone help me out. This thing used to be fast but now as I am typing my fucking typing is all laggy.

 

[*steeze_is_good]

Im not great at this stuff but 3.5GB left on your harddrive? Maybe all the data is slowing it down

 

[ButteredToast.]

I now have 5.3 GB... still slow.

 

[fragglemuffin]

try going to apps/utilities/disc utility and verifying and repairing disc permissions

 

[.jr]

delete that porn/ empty your trash.. 5.3 gb is not nearly enough..

Also try ^ the disk repair.. but seriously delete some of that shit.

 

[charmander]

i have 747.7 mb...
mine runs fine though.

 

[ButteredToast.]

Currently have 7.3 GB, ran disk repair, restarted, everything. Seems a little faster, not as bad. But certainly nothing huge.

Seems to be running ok now...ish.

Ok now its just NS that dogs the shit out of my comp. And I mean DOGS it. When I tab over to NS everything just goes in slowmo.

WTF ns.

Get an external hard drive, backup what you need then delete everything and reinstall OS X maybe?

Try a different browser, safari, or chrome.
