updated to 10.3.2; lockups galore
help. . .
I updated to 10.3 and 10.3.2 and I have been getting allot of problems.
I browse the web mostly, but have had problems with mail
and other apps.
I did a clean install after initially performing
an update/archive from 10.2.8 to 10.3.
(i.e. I zeroed the hard drive)
I have never had any problems with any OS X systems,
starting with the public beta.
I have added no other programs other than OS X programs.
I zapped PRAM, I hit the S1 button.
My machine is a 733 G4 digital audio
with 1 Gb RAM, ati 9000, and a 40 GB hard drive
and I'm networked via an earthlink DSL modem.
The system freezes up in two similar ways.
The first is when the browser fails to finish loading a page
and I can quit the browser, but I can't open anyhting else
and I cannot restart the machine.
I've been pressing the power button on my monitor and holding it
to get the system to shutdown and then I restart.
The other way of freezing up is when I try to move to another
open application and the thing opens but then it freezes.
I have tried all the usual things repair permissions, disk warrior,
PRAM, zeroing the drive and reinstalling
including reparing permissions after upgrading.
I like the upgrade for the snappy and quick feel.
I simply need it to stop locking up on me.
So, any ideas.
I have read the FAQ and as stated above done that already.
Maybe a voodo ritual would help.
Hopefully one of you geniuses will have the solution;
or it will arrive in the next update.
cheers,
