![]() ![]() re-start your mac, the kerne task should be around 50 mb to 70mb when starting. Go to active processes and check also the kernel task. Lastly if the problems started at the same time as the cam downloading I think it would be sensible to investigate what processes are being used by looking at the disc monitor which you will find in applications. I may actually have misunderstood something, did you free up 13GB or have you 250-13? Oh, video files are huge, but I assume you know that. There is much more you can do before running disc warrior, but free up that space first take away at least 75 gb if you can. So you will undoubtedly have clusters all over the place. Also, while it is true that a mac de-fragments itself, it does not de-fragment large files over about 200mb, I think that figure is even lower. Not to mention if you go to Disc utility app you will see that so much more disc space is used as virtual memory for every single application on your mac. It is definitely the case that 13GB is not enough extra space, at least 25% of the 13 gb would be used for scratch disc on photoshop.

I've got the cash but this has been an expensive year, so I should probablyĪvoid spending unless the old Mac is a losing proposition.īy the way, I've got three Western Digital My Book external drives I've used with my current computer that runs OS 10.4.11. I'm wondering if spending $100 for something like Disc Warrior would likely fix the problems, or if it's time for a new Mac. I haven't done any video editing on the computer. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it or not. Since I started downloading and playing videos from a new video cam. ![]() That has seemed to help but hasn't fixed things.
