We torture them! We abort software downloads - we abandon
apps that wont close properly, we shut them off unexpectedly, voltages
are erratic and cause sensors to do things etc. After a while all of the
orphaned files, troubled cut-offs and sensor logs build up, something
like bills do in the post ... unwanted deserted junk! At a certain point
the computer simply cannot find what its looking for because of all the
junk and it stops there ... freeze.
The best way to avoid this is to do a monthly healthy
cleanup. To do this you will need a system disc that matches your current
operating system in the Mac. Boot with this disk, by inserting it into
the Mac, then opening system prefs, selecting it as a startup disk, reboot
the computer, and then open the Disk Utility, highlight your drive that
contains the system - at the top of the left hand pane that opens, and
repair the permissions. Thereafter repair the disc = on the right hand
side of the right hand pane. This will prevent most freezes from occuring
as well as optimising the speed of your mac. At MacWorx we have all the
Mac systems from system 6 onwards. geoffb |
