I have a Mac that I use that has started to sporadically not respond. What I mean by that is that it can be running for a day or so and then quit accepting network requests or will accept a mouse click to launch an application on the dock, but the application will bounce for ever. Is there anything I could install that could help me diagnose the issue? Maybe something that will get triggered on a CPU spike or something of the sort. Your Mac already comes with quite a good collection of tools that might be useful here. One trick to try: add "Activity Monitor" to your log in items (hidden). When things to sour, maybe you'll be able to cmd-tab it to the front and learn something useful. For example, if some application is consuming all the CPU, you can see who it is -- and also, you can "sample" it, which may help the program's author find and fix the problem.
