If you're using Filevault on a slower drive it makes a lot of sense that things will be appreciably slower and that things will get even slower as files are loaded in and out. Turn…

Filevault on a desktop can be death. And it will eat space.

I have a PowerBook and a G5 iMac with a lot of RAM. I have been noticing a huge slow-up and the "spinning pizza" on the PB IF I start up the Widgets.... If I don't, I'm OK.

wow thanks for the 'drop the network connection' advice it just worked on one of those situations. Interestingly I am not running Safari right now but it still happened. Nice to kn…

Well, I need 10.4.3—where is it? I hope it drops soon, and that it fixes my bluetooth problems.

TS reports 10.4.3 is on the way soon. anywhere from 1-3 weeks? That's my estimation. Over 500 fixes supposedly. Jesus.

Have you looked at your widgets? Have you repaired permissions? Have you run disk utility? Have you cleared your caches? Have you turned off/removed any third party mods? Have you …

I have 4 systems at work and all are running flawlessly - no fan issues, etc - had the memory issue, but resolved it with new RAM. -t

Today I had a really scary thing happen where all my user preferences got lost (documented in this thread here, if anyone's interested). I decided that between the problems I repo…

Even if you don't use filevault you can still create an encrypted disk image using disk utility and store any sensitive info in there - only mounting the image when needed.

darn - the cycle network connection fix only seems to work for the first couple of times the problem manifests. Still better than nothing, saves a couple of cycles a day which is b…

I have the same exact problem many describe. I have a new G5 and sometimes for seemingly no reason the system just bogs down. I'm not doing anything intensive, but all of the sudde…

VLC bombs on me when I play a video now. Other than that, no problems.
