Starting
up with Extensions off
Starting up with your Extensions off is a good way to
temporarily
free up more RAM, and it's also necessary when you want to move
some things around your hard drive. Depending on what type
of
Mac you've got, you might need to start up with Extensions off
in
order to move things in or out of your System or Applications
folder.
To boot up your Mac with Extensions off, just start up while
holding
the Shift key down. Keep it pressed until you see "Welcome
to
Macintosh, Extensions Off." While you're running with
Extensions
off, anything that would normally require one of your Extensions
to
run (viewing QuickTime movies, or sending a fax, for example)
will
not be possible.
To turn your Extensions back on, just restart normally)
