And it keeps on freezin'...

I thought Safari was causing my computer to freeze--but I've realized that after my computer is on for about 60 min it will freeze regardless of which program that is open. All programs have been running slower recently, and my only way to regain total function after it freezes is to manually restart with the power button.
As per previous recommendations I deleted the following folders only to find that the problem was greater than I had previously assessed:
~/Library/Caches/Safari
~/Library/Safari/Icons
I'm a total novice--any advice is GREATLY appreciated.
Take Care,
Steph

In addition to the model/cpu/memory information, how much data is on your hard drive? Do an apple-I on your hard drive, and what's it say for capacity and used?
Do you leave your system on 24x7? If not, there is some disk maintenance that may not be done. Grab OnyX from http://www.titanium.free.fr/ Run the maintenance and cleaning tabs. Also click on unix utilities, the plutil tab and click 'check', which will check if there are any preference problems.

  • I just updated my RAM and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

    I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times with Photoshop and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

    There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
    The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
    I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

    My APPLE ID is NOT working properly. I am frustrated beyond belief I have tried time and time again to change my apple ID and it keeps reverting back to my original ID!! I even set up a new email to try to submit a new id and it still does not work

    To change your Apple ID, follow these steps:
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
    In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
    Enter the email address you want to use, then  click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that  address.
    Open the  email  from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.
    When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your renamed Apple ID.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID.
    After you see a message indicating that verification is complete, remember to update all of the stores and services that you use with your  Apple ID.
