Hi guys long time no see,
I've been recently having major issues with my mac lately, it seems to run very slow when running any adobe program, so i wondered if that is a CS2 issue or not?. I was also working very hard the other day on a logo that i was creating for my project at college and i found that when i opened up photoshop illustrator will crash, loosing all my work that had in illustrator. So i was wondering if that was a CS2 issue or a ram issue?

Also, i was continuing to work on this logo and then suddenly my mac died so i went to the mains and plugged it in thinking that it would just turn back on, but it never did and i lost the logo i was had been working on for ages. And the battery is only about 7 months old, but when i check it on istats pro it says that the health is only 81%, because i have another spare battery(which is the older one which come with the mac) and it always sorta shuts down at about 0-5%, but the newer battery always shuts down at 20%.

Next problem, i've had my mac for almost a 1 and half now, and i bought my white macbook when the white ones first lauched. And after a year i really started to notice that the white around the track pad was looking slightly yellow and now it looks even worse and i don't know what to do about. I have purchased apple care, but the mac is still under the extras years warrenty. So i don't know whether i have to claim it on the insurance or on the warrenty.

thanks in advance for reading and helping me with my rather long post ^^

Is this on your G5 or MacBook? CS2 is going to make your MacBook slow since it is not native and runs in emulation; upgrade to CS3.

Follow Apple's directions for calibrating your battery.

If you have a defective one, always claim it under the warranty. Claiming it under insurance will look bad/raise premiums in the future.
