Hi Chris, "Applespell.service" is the regular spell checker that starts up for text entry on all web pages, etc. It's a normal service, but what isn't normal is that it's somehow showing up as a runaway CPU hog. Usually quitting such a process once in Activity Monitor should fix things. Wha

Hi Kari, Another thought: you said all software is up to date. Does that mean you've already applied the recent 10.6.8 software update (released about 3 days ago)? I was going to suggest applying this update and seeing whether your problem with the runaway "applespell.service" process went aw

Hi guys, I've got a strange problem hear, and I'm really hoping it's software not hard ware. A couple of days ago my Mac book pro started running hot, the fan would kick in a short time after start up, and would pretty much run constantly from there until I shut down again. Now, it's the mi
