Hello all. I seem to have a problem with my new iMac. Every time I start it up, I lose like 3-4 hours time, surfing the net, playing DVD's, visiting Itunes, buying music, word processing etc. Now, as if that's not bad enough, It looks like I'm going to have a another problem when I have to buy the new iPhone coming out in July. To make matters worse, my wife keeps migrating from her PC to my Mac, so now SHE is experiencing these problems as well and it appears as if I'm going to be forced to buy HER a Mac. Any suggestions would be appreciated.....

I am misunderstanding what your problem is. What do you mean "you are losing 3 - 4 hours time, etc?

What exactly is your problem?
 
DOH!

I got suckered into this.:rolleyes:

I guess I've been spending too much time on this forum helping too many people at the same time.

MY BAD. :p
 
ROFLMAO... on how many people thought this was a real problem.........

To the OP... I agree. I have been having the same problem. It just sucks. And like you, my wife is now on my computer more then hers too. I have thought about seeking help for this, but the geniuses at the apple store have not been very successful in treating me or my wife. I fear this might become an epidemic.

Buy her a cheap old mac, say a G4 Mini.

I'm afraid this wouldn't work; She seems to have her heart set on a NEW Macbook. It will be cheaper to buy her that than get rid of her. In fact, if I get rid of her she'll take my MAC, my house and the shirt off my back, so I'd then be chilly AND stuck on a PC in my car....And I wouldn't be able to afford the new iPhone to boot..........
 
As long as you do not have a portable Mac, and you have the ability to "forget" your cell phone, you can always go visit the big blue room. Its fun, though because of your "condition", you may wish to wear dark shaded glasses for the first few hours. You do not want to get "burn in" to your retinas.
 
Good God, it's contagious!

I have this exact same problem! I even went down to the local Apple Store today, and somehow I escaped without opening the checkbook!
My wife is great, but my iMac never questions me unless it has to! :D
