I finally got around to installing the drive. I got the M500....I was going to go with the new M100 but amazon had a 1 month wait..so. It is definitely faster to boot...quite fast actually...very easy to instal..update firmware etc...no issues. s…

It had something to do with how it managed it files ..Imap or POP ..I can't rememeber now exactly. That was one reason I stayed at 10.6.8 since I use gmail and prefer POP over IMAP.. I tried updating to Mavericks once and the DL failed from apples s…

Thanks Marvin... I always shut it down every night...that will be a change...should you do a reboot every now and then though?. The laptop is only for surfing etc so if it is 5X faster than before it will be AOK. I got OSX to instal (old drive yet…

no ram and any upgrades at all...its a 13" macbook pro. Yes I read about the GPU issues too. I am going to scrub the drive clean tonight and see what happens..I will Zero the drive too. Marvin mentioned that It could just be a filesystem error. Sa…

Thanks Keylogger and everyone for the help I will do some more work tonight and see if I can fix this. It is easy to replace a drive in a macbookpro(2010) and are SSD just as cheap as the old spinners for this type of puter? It has 250gig and that…

its a mid 2010 model...I think..can't remember actually..but that is what my serial comes up as. If it is a file system kernel extensions error ,any ideas as to what would cause a recurring error such as this..I'm trying to convince my wife to stop …

I haven't added anything new software wise ...Upgrades yes...and I never connect anything to it other than thumb drives( fat 32 formatted). I checked and I don't have a firewire cable that has both 800 on both ends( 400 and 800)..hmmmm My wife wears…

thanks Tallest Skil This has happened frequently..I mean 4-5 times in the last year. Can anyone think of what could be the cause? Can I just boot from my Apple instal disk and use disk utility for a repair? No rhythmic clicking...I had that once …

thank you Marvin ...very helpful!! "If the new account was set to login automatically rather than the old one, it's more likely a system problem." yes... I just did the command V..this is what I got waiting for DSMOS disk 0s2..I/O error disk 0s2…

UG..I know..I finally gave up trying!...

I am curious why it cost $3500 to upgrade to 12 core for the base config and $3000 for the same thing on the top end machine? thanks scott

thanks everyone...I am not in a rush so I can wait until after Xmas...better deals hopefully. There are soooo many flavors of Windows...what to pick? This system would be for 3d design and renders only..64bit required..and not hooked to the internet…

Although I am a mac user..I am pretty tech savvy...and the internet is our friend:) I also have a very tech savvy PC friend 1 hour away if shite hits the fan. I will price out some components. thanks

thanks everyone for the advice. A friend that teaches and design 3d on the PC side suggested the darkside:) For 1K I can get a very good machine as a start which would give me a i7-4770( 3.4), 12 gig ram and NVIDIA GeForce GTX650 2GB. I could then l…

Brain farts...seems I DO have a 2010 Imac...so maybe. I lost a year somewhere...probably a few actually! scott

Great advice Marvin...thank you for that! For me the bottle neck is GPU..I think...I am OK with render times but screen redraw during the design process can be irritating. I use C4D BTW. It doesn't seem to be a huge speed benefit from the i5 to the …

that sucks..but thanks for the info...whats the difference from 2009 to 2010 that allows this? and are the new Vcards in the newest Imacs any better? scott

sorry for the late reply....what I did was a complete re-instal from my time machine backup and all the slowness went away...sooooooo something was messed up on the machine( however that happened) and all is better now thanks for the help climbe…

They are both running the same OS..10.6.8. I thought that maybe my USB ports were starting to fail but as I mentioned if I format as Mac journaled all was OK. I have been using NTFS for awhile and all of a sudden things started going flaky..nothin…
