After Ive ruled out the two percent conflict by removing whatever I recently added or updated and rebooted to see if that resolved the problem, I will start with the Mac OSX basics BACKUPFIRST, before we start any troubleshooting or System or hard drive maintenance procedures, it is important that we BACK UP OUR DATA to other drives or CD or DVD media. This is important because the disk may be hanging on by a thread and the most basic procedure may lose the drive and data forever. Be sure to back up all critical MAIL folders, DOCUMENT folders, FINANCIAL data files, i. PHOTO and i. TUNES folders and PREFERENCE files. These days I prefer to simply clone my healthy, problem free boot hard drive onto a freshly erased internal hard drive, removing the original hard drive intact and storing it away as my system back up. This allows me to work off the clone and have a trustworthy boot drive I can swap out and get back to work in five minutes if necessary. An external Fire. Wire or USB drive can also be used for the clone. Because I keep project files documents, music, photos, project folders on third and fourth hard drives, the swap and get back to work process is pretty seamless in my professional work flow.

FREE UNUSED DISK SPACESECOND, be sure you have a lot of free unused disk space on your hard drives a minimum 3. Erasing reformatting. If you run Photoshop scratch disk off the boot drive, I would recommend at keeping at least 7. Available space this free space needs to be relatively unfragmented for Photoshop to run properly.

GB free unused space available this allows the operating system vital unused space to write its swap files, virtual memory scratch disk. Full hard drives also tend to fragment system and data files and can greatly slow disk access down, too. Check free space on a Mac computer by 1 click on hard drive icon, 2 CommandI File Get Info, and note Available space. On the Windows 7 PC XP and Vista Platforms, open space can be found under hard drive Properties. HARD DRIVE FRAGMENTATIONDEFRAGGING a boot hard disk is generally a Windows PC thing, but we Apple Mac users do need to watch how we manage our data. The best way to defragment a Mac hard disk drive HDD is to copy our data folders files over to another disk, delete the originals, empty the trash completely, and then copy them back onto the drive. Mac OS X is pretty good at defragging its operating system on its own unless the hard drive has filled up and forced it to write into a fragmented state so generally we do not have to worry about defragging the System and Applications folders. In the case the Mac OS has been badly fragmented but is still healthy and functioning proper I would opt to CLONE it to another harddrive, and either swap the Cloned disk back, or Erase the fragmented drive and Clone it back in an unfragged state keeping the other drive as a backup. MAC VIRUSES SOFTWARE OS XIt has been widely stated on the internet and Apple forums there are no known computer viruses for the Mac OSX operating system so worrying about getting a virus is probably needless worry for most of us search Google for more facts and information about Mac viruses, Trojans, prevention. What we do need to watchout for is passing infected files that we download or receive in emails over to Windows users where they can do serious damage. APPLES OS X VIRUS SECURITY INFORMATION.

A fresh NEW USER ACCOUNT gives us a new, clean, untouched set of User Preferences to work with and trouble shoot this is usually the first move I make in troubleshooting because it resets all applications to default in case I have set a bad preference, and it also rules out any whacky or corrupted user Preferences. Then, WHEN something isnt working correctly. Log Out of our problem User Account, and Log In to a new Spare User account PROBLEM DOESNT CLEAR IN NEW USER ACCOUNT If the problem has NOT cleared in the Spare User, then it is most likely a System wide, or hardware problem remove 3rd party hardware and suspected bad preferences from the Hard Drive Library Preferences folder. PROBLEM CLEARS IN NEW USER ACCOUNT If the problem has cleared in Spare User, then the main user has corruption or bad fonts activated or something else that doesnt exist in our user account remove suspected bad preferences from the Hard Drive Users Name Library Preferences folder. If the problem prevents us from logging into our user account, but can still login to Spare User, I would suspect a conflict or preference associated with my Log In items disable login items if you can get logged in, or navigate to the login System or User preference loginwindow.
