    Tiger’s start up is slow and Mac won’t switch off

    Posted by Claire Anabel higginson on January 31, 2006 at 8:58 am

    I just upgraded to Tiger from panther. After installation, I used carbon cloner to copy my operating system, as it was recommneded to partition my hard drive.
    Since then my mac does not switch off at all, and have to hold down the power button. The start up is becoming increasly slow. I also had a problem with my external Lacie drive not showing on start up, but i have managed to fix that.

    I have used speedtools to defrag all drives, and run disk utilies.

    Can anyone help???

    I am currently running a Dual 2 Ghz G5, with 3.5 GB of ram
