Q: iMac running slow
Hi, my iMac is opening web pages very slowly when starting from sleeping. once it has opened one page it seems to run fine from there on in, but first page takes ages to open, also the general health of the machine concerns me. there are some strange problems happening like: when the machine goes to sleep whilst logged in to a user, if the machine is woken and asks for user password, the password appears to not be accepted but then click change user, then click on the user logo again and it logs straight in without the need to password. any help with this would be much appreciated
Thanks
