My Macbook Pro has been taking forever to start up, and open windows, plus I get a lot of the spinning wheel of slow death when I'm working in my design programs. I HATE messing with my systems, because something always seems to go wrong.
Also, I have an iMac too. Can I install it on both machines if it is downloaded instead of a disk? Is that allowed?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Fix your Machines BEFORE Upgrading the OS... Otherwise you will only compound your issues...
Basically... Make sure you have enough Free Hard Drive space for your Mac to Perform as expected...
Rule of thumb is about 25 GB +

Thank you so much! Great reference sites. Taking me awhile to absorb it all, but looks like I need to do a clean install. Just bite the bullit and DO IT RIGHT!
My Macbook pro is running slow. Should I do a clean install before installing Mountain Lion?
