RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Basic question really 😬 My Mac is running slow , probabky due to the fact I have a few GarageBand recordings on it . It happened before , but I just deleted them all . I do have an external hard drive , and was wondering if it's worth moving the file over there and if it's hard to do . I record short bits on soundcloud and never go back to them ., just leaving them on the Mac . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 1. What version of MacOS are you running? 2. How much RAM does this Mac have? 3. Is the system drive a SSD or HD? 4. How big is the system drive? 5. How much free space is left on it? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 There's only one thing there that would point to a slow down problem and that's if the system drive really is an HD rather than an SSD. What model is this Mac? It will be in Apple Menu > About This Mac And while you are their click on the System Report button, and when the system information panel appears select Storage from the left-hand column and see what it says about your system disk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
