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

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

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
