  • I HATE YOU! This reset my hard drive! OMG! All my files are lost!!!!!

  • What??? That is not physically possible... There is no way a RAM reset can formate your Hard Drive or even delete files....

  • well it did.

  • What your saying is just a load of bull.... If something did happen to your files it had nothing to do with a Ram Reset

  • does this only work for the time you do this?

    or does it stay faster after this?

  • I do it about once every 2 weeks...

  • Zapping the PRam doesn't help the startup speed, it just works out corrupted memory segments.

  • Ever notice how the Apple start up sound (TAAAAAAA) sounds almost exactly like the sound in the beatles song "Day in the life" near the end, at about 4 minutes and twenty seconds (at least on my version) in? I know Jobs is a big beatles fan, is there any correlation there or is it just coincidence?

  • I have to turn off wifi (airport) and turn it back on to get it to load a page a lot of times. Do I have errors?

  • My google chrome always says, sending request ...

  • I linux there are logs where you can see the errors.

  • @jpcwa74 If things stop working such as sound, keyboard backlight, wi-fi, etc.

  • @wwcomputerrepair How do you know if there are errors?

  • @jpcwa74 You don't need to do this unless you see any errors. And they are not booting errors, just that the certain function won't work correctly.

  • @wwcomputerrepair errors dont slow down your mac?

  • This is pointless and will not speed up startup. This resets the PRAM. This will fix errors with: Status of AppleTalk Serial Port Configuration and Port definition Alarm clock setting Application font Serial printer location Autokey rate Autokey delay Speaker volume Attention (beep) sound Double-click time Caret blink time (insertion point rate) Mouse scaling (mouse speed) Startup disk Menu blink count Monitor depth 32-bit addressing Virtual memory RAM disk Disk cache
