Excel Save As Spinning Beach Ball Of Death Mac OSX 10

Recently I tried a more simple and patient approach by firstly turning the computer off for 8 hours and then discovered I could start the computer in SAFE mode.

Did the permissions and disc repair and then another switch off for overnight and today things are working as normal.well better actually.

The last time there was any serious slowing down it seemed to be better to let the ball finish spinning totally rather than after 5 minutes do a foce crash.

Incidetally it takes a while to learn how long to wait for these reapir processes take.my advice is wait and wait and wait.

Not so much to cause any weird noises, but enough to feel like the insides could do with a rest I did turn ALL file sharing things off AND ditched ALL satrt up items and that seems to have helped too.

It worked for 5 years running the same software just fine, then went bad.

I have 146 GB free out of 350GB total, as I run a 1TB External HD for my Time Machine backup and a separate External HD for iPhoto contect when it gets too big.

I did notice the last time things went weird that Adobe Acrobat Pro and the Finder were the worst for spinning the wheel.

AND I wasnt able to use a USB stick to transfer files off the computer.

No issues found Am curious as to the increase in RAM potential.

My Mac has run with the same software for years on 4GB Ram so will the extra 2 make much difference Also Do I need to buy ALL the same make of RAM or can I just add a 4 to what I have.

My feeling is, now the computer is back and behaving very well, maybe its time to stop adding any new software and ignore any software updates from anywhere, just to be safe.

All very confusing really but at least Im able to work again.

How long do you think these Macs are supposed to last I can see this discussion could go on.and on, so I am happy if you want to stop for now as things are not in such a critical state.
