Hi to all the sifus, I have searched the forum for a similiar thread to my problem and didn't find anything. So dun screw me for opening a new thread. Problem: Bought a 2nd hand Ibook G4 (2years ++ old, Processor 933Mghz only), with the intention of learning Mac Os b4 spending for a new 1. Managed to format with the CD provided (Dun ask me whether is it leopard or tiger, dun know how differentiate). Everything was fine till yesterday night, connected my sony handycam to the Mac and imported the clips, evething was running smoothly till clip 18 and the Mac hanged. After that restarted the Mac and run it for a while for the suprise of it hangs again. Found that the Mac is hanging after a few operation of any program now. Dun know wht or how to repair. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.  |

QUOTE(xaw5126 @ Aug 6 2007, 01:15 PM) shanjeev... if its Tiger, you'll have a blue circle on the top right corner, looks like a magnifying glass. you can also try clicking Apple logo > About this Mac > if its 10.4, then its Tiger. if its 10.3, then its Panther. if its 10.2, then its Jaguar. got it? also, if you like... just drop by 1 Utama, I'll take a look at your mac. see if it can start up from my hard drive... we'll try to restore the system on your hard disk. Hi there, thanks for the reply. In that case it should be Tiger. By the way I'm from JB, so I can't drop by for the moment. The Mac still bootable, just tht it hangs after a while and I dun have any inportant data in it. Do u think the hardisk has a problem or do I need to reformat it. It was all fine b4 I plugged in my handcam  . Any other suggestions. Thanks again. |

Hi there, sorry for the late reply waz outstation and busy with work. Ok first of all I would like to say sorry cause the operating system is not tiger but panther.

Found the disk utility but there is not smart button or maybe I dun know. Hope u can bare with me and explain in detail a bit. Thanks. QUOTE(darkcurse @ Aug 7 2007, 08:08 AM) What is the free space on this Mac? OSX does not like it at all if you have less than 1GB of free HDD. And generally its best to keep about 10% of your drive free. There's about 18g of spare space in the c drive. Any suggestion guys. Thanks. TC.
