If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.īelow are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions - they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed.
#Osxfuse and swinsian software#
By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software - potentially for the worse. Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Please some suggestions! a little help, please! I wonder if that would be supported by applecare - my hardware is from 2008.) * I don't have anything I don't think that's still covered by applecare (unless it's the OS itself, which is less than a year old, I'm running the lates 10.7.
#Osxfuse and swinsian update#
* I'm hoping maybe there will be an OS update shortly (don't know if I can wait). Whatever problem is in the system, the backup drive also slowed to an unbearable crawl after 90-120 minutes or so. So I re-started with the backup drive as the startup - no dice! That was my last resort. My best thought was to switch startup drives - I have a good backup from a month ago.
#Osxfuse and swinsian pro#
This is a Mac Pro with plenty of ram - 16GB - the activity monitor does NOT indicate anything is hogging the ram.Īlso sufficient disc space - 42 GB free out of 265GB on the startup drive. Nothing fixes it - I've tried disk utility in the repair partition (fixing the permssions, verifying & repairing the disk), It's time consuming and annoying to keep restarting, which takes a while. Then I restart and the system is fine again - for about 90 minutes. The application switcher CTRL-TAB ceases to work at all. I hit a key on the keyboard and you can count the seconds before the key appears. But after an hour or so, especially after 90 minutes, the whole system gets slower and slower, until it creeps down to a crawl. I had been out of town for a few days, left my Mac Pro turned off & unplugged, which I thought made sense.Įver since I've returned, the same blankety-blank thing keeps happening: I restart and everything is fine. Now that I've tried eveything I can think of (even switching the hard drive.) I thought I'd start fresh here. This started a few days ago - I received some responses but nothing seems to work.
