Hey Guys!
So recently i had a huge wipe out this past Summer. My iMac crashed while i was on the phone with Apple Support because they gave me bad advice. This nightmare lasted about a month because so many people didn't know how to fix my problem and i had no one else to turn to. I ended up swapping out my 2T HD for a 1T HD because they stopped making the drive i needed and didn't have anymore in back stock. Just my luck. Fast forward to yesterday, my iMac crashes after loading Google Chrome. So i hustled to check out the memory, storages and caches. After going through all that I was running sys disgnose and first aids, i still couldn't find much that was slowing it down.
I think there a few things working against me. The iMac is 5 years old now. It has an outdated system that they don't make anymore. The HD was replaced. The screen was replaced. I added a 4T Lacie external HD. I've swapped the memory twice at this point. I'm running 128 GB of memory. It's sad but i think i have to keep my credit card ready incase i have to get a new machine. After already dropping $1K this summer on the machine, i'm so exhausted with it.
The one thing that gives me a lot of hope about things like this is the fact that soon i'll be able to conquer these issues with more knowledge and more experience. Working in the command line makes me feel like i can make bigger changes and make bigger leaps when its comes the machine slowing down. For now, i'm pushing it to the limit.
