I have been looking for an actual answer to this everywhere and am yet to find one, so thought i may get an answer on here.
I have a 13" Macbook Pro and it is about a year old it runs 10.6 as i upgraded to snow leopard with the special deal for people who bought a mac before it came out.
Over the year it has become slower and slower, i cannot seem to find anything to delete [my itunes library is over 80GB roughly] I cannot seem to find a way to speed it up.
I was wondering weather it would be worthwhile using the restore discs, wiping everything, updating to snow leopard again. [As over the year i have used many trials and pieces of software that have just been dragged to the trash, etc. thought this may help clear that] Then move back across the itunes library and the rather small itunes library.
Is this likely to speed it up or am i better getting a mobile hard drive to back this up to so that i have an empty mac hard drive. I listen to music for most of the day though so this would be in almost constant use.
Has anyone got any ideas on the best solution?
Many thanks
