Hi all - I am new here and using a Mac for about 4 years. The challenge is as follows:
- the system has been very slow and unresponsive lately
- I have had to hard boot a number of times in the past month
- I ran 3 different virus checkers, found and cleaned 3 Trojan infections
- I ran Onyx and performed repair permissions (there were 3 screens of repairs)
- a few things that keep occurring
a) iCal keeps providing alarms for meetings from 4 months ago even when deleting the meeting
b) I remove software from the Dock and they always come back if I do shutdown and restart
c) Some programs (eg MS Word) keep reloading the same file I haven't touched in 3 months
d) I use iBackup for business files as well as a Time Machine backup, recently iBackup gave me this Apple Script error
".../Application Support/iBackup//iBackup folder/Icon\r: Permission denied (1)"
- I was doing maintenance on the keychain, and found:
"Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Label for item 6¬Ée}@@Vò®∏fi.
N~x is not in UTF-8 encoding
Error: failed to update label attribute for 6¬Ée}@@Vò®∏fi.
N~x (0x186AD)
Warning: some problems were not fixed
Repair failed"
I have a MacBook 13" (2008, version with no firewire) OS X 10.7.2, 4 Gb RAM, 2,4 GHz Core 2 Duo
Any help would be great.
thx
