So lately i have been having problems with my macbook. I will try to give as much detail as possible.
1. Since upgrading to 10.5.2 my sound no longer works, not even external speakers. When i hit the volume up or down button i get the normal bezel but with a no sound thing. See pic attachment.
2. Since upgrading to 10.5.2 time machine now fails every backup.
3. My widgets do not work. Have no idea when or how but when i click on one it makes a ding and kicks me out of dashboard.
4. My apple remote works, but it wont work with the program iAlertU. It has worked before but it just doesn't now.
5. Simple apps like iTunes and Mail take at least 7 seconds to open, 2 jumps in the dock but a long wait after that. Adium took 12 seconds to open. When i first upgraded to Leopard everything took one bounce in the dock and was open.
6. My whole computer seems slower, much slower than normal. I get the spinning beach ball more now than ever. Its like i only have 256mb of ram.
7. Stuff has been randomly deleting off my computer, weird huh? I had a movie just disappear last week. The week or so before time machine wasn't in my dock or applications folder, i ironically had to open up my time machine drive and manually go back in time to get time machine back. Numerous other things have also deleted, i've ACTUALLY been using time machine the last few weeks if you know what i mean.
8. My computer takes 42 seconds to get to the login window on a restart and 50 seconds to get to the login window from a shutdown. I dont know if this is slow, normal, or really slow. It also makes 1 and a half apple chimes when my computer boots up, kinda like hmmmmm, hm. Cant really explain but yeah.
9. After i login from the login window my desktop appears, with no icons or the menu bar, just the dock and a spinning beach ball. When i force quit it says finder not responding. It stays like this for approx. 53 seconds and then everything is fine.
10. WE just changed from the old, old apple base station to an airport express, (New base station on the way). The internet does go quicker now, but i can no longer print or "see" my printer. I have tried everything. When i need to print something i have to go change to the old base station, which is quite a hassle.
If you have any input or questions at all please feel free to comment.
EDIT: Widgets now working, first time in a few months. No idea what i did.
Thanx in advance
