Hi
I have MacBook Pro 13' with 10.6.6 and the system is stucking all the time,
when I am opening the safari it's stuck to a minute or two and the circle with the colors are shown,it's happens when I open Xcode,Photoshop and probably most of the apps on my mac,
I have exactly 400G of 500G hard drive space so I don't think this is the problem,
How should I fix it with out format the mac?

Thank you very much!!
 
How much RAM do you have and how much is used and used - use Activity Monitor to check?
Also backup your data, maybe your HDD is failing.
 
The monitor says
user:3.50 %
system:2.25 %
idle:94.25 %

I don't think this is the problem'
Do you have any other suggestions?
 
Free 1.93G
Wired 734.1MB
Active 937.3MB
Inactive 450.8MB
Used 2.07 G
 
and what about the smart status?

I think I found the reason,the Parallels was running Windows 7 Ultimate on the highest Performance and the Windows and the Mac have each 2 GB ram for each.
Since I turned off the windows 7(it was on Idle) and restarted the Mac all is fine.

Do you think this was the real problem?

That sounds like it, but in your first first post you mention nothing about parallels running so how are we supposed to know that was the trick. If it is working for you then it sounds like it might have worked. You mentioned other programs running but nothing about parallels, and nothing about the setup of your parallels program. Sounds to me if it is working right and the stuttering is gone then that was the culprit.
