Well my Mac has had quite a workout the last 4 years, and recently I'm getting some problems.

I usually run it within 1 gig of maximum, so I have to delete something if I want to downlowd a movie or something as I have a heap of music and photos on there. I have limited disk space.

Problem is, sometimes I delete for example 4 gigs of movies, I start to download, and it gives me the message of disk space nearly full when I should have at least 4-5 gig available after deleting ie., after deleting and emptying the trash it tells me I only have 200mb left when it should say 4-5 gig? What's up with that?

Also, when using the email, the cursor seems to jump around for no reason. I'm typing away, then I look up and I'm actually typing over a paragraph several lines above what I should be typing. This didn't used to happen.

Lastly, my browser on a regular basis keeps crashing, very annoying.

Anyone had similar issues?

Get an external hard drive and do a total computer wipe and install after backing everything up. Keep your computer less full. It should help. I've got a 3-year-old mac that I now use as a media center and did this and it works really nicely.

x2. I just got the new Samsung ext. USB drives, thing is the height of my iPhone and a bit wider but actually weighs less and was 650GB i paid 155,000 KRW but i paid at a retail store so you could probably get it for much less at a techno mart or Yongsan.
