| Brand new ibook... :( Wel, its working, its faster, its nicer. But I have one problem. I attempted to pug in a usb2.0 device while running software update, the kernel panicked and I had to shut down. Now I cannot change brightness or volume via keyboard and theres no icons when i drag things out of folders, making it a little strange to drag and drop into applications.  otherwise... yippeeeee!!

| did you repair permissions? It that doesn't help and a new user account has the same issues, I would suggest a fresh installation (since you seem to not have it for that long).

| For future reference, whenever running Software Update, it's best to let it run until it's completely done with no other programs open, nothing being plugged in, no surfing the web, etc. There are optimization routines done during a software update that are necessary for proper operation, and if they're interrupted, you could be left with a completely unusable system, requiring a reinstall like Zammy said.

| Can I start another user that will be a fresh duplicate of mine? I'm mostly conserned about the itunes music that was such a pain to get off of my sketchy usb 2.0hd. I guess i can just drag and drop everything into the shared folders?

| Btw what do you guys think of getting one of those shareware apps that are script cocktails, optimizers and cleaner uppers/ problem fixxers? They always made my old comp faster, but I always was worried that they would explode my computer for some reason. If it isnt made by apple it makes me nervious.

| Once you setup a new user and see that things are just fine, you can simply move your files to the same folder of the newer home directory. But I think it will rather be a system problem than a user problem.

| I never used any of those apps and my system is running quite fine. So, I would suggest to leave those apps. Macosx doesn'T really need any kind of optimization tools.
