The guts of a Mac

Restart the machine while holding down the shift key. This kicks in safe start, preventing third-party applications from starting and runs a files check and repair.

The computer will take a long time to start, so be patient. The gear may seem to spin forever. After it finally starts, restart it normally.

OR

Safe start it again. If something was fixed, a buggered file, now fixed, may have hidden another one deeper in, that will be fixed on the second safe start.

I assure you it has nothing to do with my English: I always want to say so many things and say so many things that sometimes people take a part for the whole story :mrgreen:
As I said, that's what I dic the first time. Now the Mac starts apparently fine without having recourse to a restart, but the fact that it takes so long, with the appearance of that blue screen which never appeared in the really normal starting process, is what seems to indicate that something is not just different, but wrong...
 
When you say it takes a long time to start-up, how long are you talking?

The blue screen that used to appear just for a couple of seconds before the initialization process is complete and the customized desk image appears, now stays for like 15, some days like 30...
I also had noticed, but only when all of this started, that before making the automatic back up copies, the Time Machine app will get through the whole counting of archives before making the back up.
 
When that happened to mine it wasn't long before I had to get a new hard drive.
 
Or the drive may be too full for the computer to write its data into virtual memory and retrieve it again with its old aplomb. This article explains what may be happening.
. . . Swap files are created and released dynamically and are saved in the /private/var/vm directory. However, the ability for Mac OS X to create a swap file depends on your Mac having free space on the Mac OS X startup disk. . . .

Oh. Hmm. That was an interesting post indeed.
Thanks Keel :mrgreen:
In fact it happens to be true that after having deleted a couple of GB it seemed to be working better, but I couldn't necessarily link one thing to the other...
