Q: why is my ibook G4 is running really slow and clicks sometimes?

latley when I am using my ibook g4 it is running really slowly and something inside seems to click sometimes when it is loading. also when charging the battery the percentage seems to go up fairly quick and it goes down quickly when used why is this? my main question is how do i stop it from taking a year and a day to load?

    Hello,

     

    Sounds to me like a problem with the hard drive.

    Check how much free space your hard drive has got. If it's not got much, then you may wish to delete old application and files not required. Freeing up space will help it load faster.

     

    You could also try going to Utilities and then Disk utility. Select the Hard Drive from the left pane and click verify.

    You may also wish to repair permissions.
