Hi List: Apologies for posting something other than a EULA opinion, but I'm wondering if someone might have some experience with an OS X system that is throwing random beachballs all over the place (10.6.8). Scroll a list of files in the Finder = beachball; launch an application = beachball; create a new email message = beachball. I've used Disk Utility to repair the disk and permissions (nothing major appeared to be found). I've run a test on RAM using MemTest, with apparently no problems found. I've been watching Activity Monitor to see if there's anything sucking up processor use -- nothing appears to be out of the ordinary (that I know of). I'm now trying an app called Onyx to see if it will find anything worth addressing.
Short of reinstalling the system (days worth of labor), I'm at a loss for what else to try. The one thing I found online is that the Spotlight indexing process can sometimes go crazy and intermittently bog down the processor -- Onyx supposedly allows you to disable this but I'm not certain this is the problem (not a regular culprit in Activity Monitor). Not sure if this means anything but apparently I can't reset PRAM on the system (Intel Mac Mini). I've tried several times with multiple keyboards, without success. I believe with Lion and above maybe this is supposed to be unnecessary, but it's supposed to work with Snow Leopard and earlier, yes? Anybody have any ideas for something else to look for? I know some of you do more low level tinkering than I. Restarts help for a while, but I can only restart the system so many times... Thanks for any suggestions.
