A topic from Technology: Apple

My 2-year old iBook seems to be running rather sluggishly, but there doesn't seem to be much in the 'help' files in the way of maintenance and general housekeeping, like rebuilding the desktop etc that I used to do on my old Mac. Does anyone know of any basic procedures I can do to make sure it's working the best it can?

Also, I've heard something about if you have lots of files on the desktop that can slow things down as they're on your 'profile'. I've no idea what this means - can someone explain?

Thanks :-)

What OS you using on you g4?

Have you gone into your Disk utilities and verified and repaired your disk?

As for files on your desktop, it is true, macs hate files on your desktop, its best if you create files and put them in your documents or even better on an external hard drive. Does your computer become sluggish when certain applications are running? Safari is notorious for eating up loads of Ram. Try using firefox instead.

Good luck
