Configuration: Mac OS X Safari 523.12
It was my brother who had installed the device before handing it over to me, adapting it successively to all the successive versions of the OS; the hard drive and cards could not hold up, and the device was out of order. He took the device back for two weeks and completely reinstalled it by temporarily swapping the hard drive with another external one. Following ICLG's advice, all the content and address book were fully recovered, and the management works normally. But curiously, it turned out to be impossible to reinstall Firefox; do you know why? So I am using Safari.
I switched machines in December from a PM G5 to an iMac Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz. I gave the old machine to my son who was thrilled to have his own computer. Anyway, for the past month, the iMac has been acting up: the hard drive fan goes crazy at any time, even when cold. It’s VERY loud and annoying.
The system is up to date, though.
This is the first time I've had a problem like this on a Mac and I must admit I'm a bit lost.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful.
Cheers,
Franck
