Apparent slow response of Macbook

I hope I'm not losing it, but at times it seems the Macbook takes a long time to perform certain functions. For example, emptying the trash in Mail. While emptying the trash in Mail, the cursor can remain frozen for 10 to 15 seconds. The same goes for emptying the cache in Safari, or deleting cookies in Safari.
With my old iBook G3, or with my iMac G5, it seems these functions are done much snappier, and with little freeze-up of the cursor. Is it just my perception, or has anyone else had these problems?

Slow response using internet, just hangs

Not the best at IT and just clicked update when it came up as available without realising what I was doing! Turns out it was an upgrade to os x 10.9.4. Since then the laptop has been practically unusable particularily when it comes to safari, it is either really slow getting to a particular page or just doesnt do anything, no matter how long you wait. Restarting doesnt seem to help, reload view fails as well. Its strange as sometimes its ok for 10 minutes then starts doing this. I know this is bad but I have never backed the laptop up so cant restore to previous version. I am currently looking into which external hard drive to buy so I can start doing regular back ups. I have run EtreCheck in the hope somebody can help!! Results below

Extremely Slow Response when attempting to display files on Windows Server

I have set up File Sharing on my MacBook Pro using SMB and defined the folders that are available to be shared. When I look at the Network Neighbourhood in Windows Explorer the Macbook appears listed with all the other PCs on the network. When I try to open the Macbook in Explorer it takes a very long time to open (about 2 minutes or so) and shows me the list of folders. When I try to open a folder the exact same thing happens - it opens after a couple of minutes, this continues for every folder that I try to open. I thought it might be that Explorer needed to "catalog" the files in the folders but the same thing happens each time - if I close the connection and try again it takes the same amount of time. What is very strange is that if I connect to the Windows Server from the Mac opening and looking at shared folders/files is instantaneous so clearly this is not a network problem. If I use the Win2K3 server to look at other computers/files the result is the same - instantaneous access, so it has nothing to do with the Win2K3 server - clearly the problem is with the MacBook serving up the file information to the Win2K3 server. I have tried with AFP on and off and the result is the same. The user name/pwd is the same on both the Win2K3 and the Macbook - and I have tried with a different username on the Win2K3 - no difference. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

Yes they are on the same workgroup, on ethernet, plugged into the same switch. The Mac can read and copy files of the Win2K3 server with no problem. The problem is clearly at the Mac end as the Win2K3 server can view files on any machine on the network without the slow response, the Mac can view files on the Win2K3 server without the slow response, it is only when the Win2K3 server tries to view files on the Mac.

I'm having the exact same problem. Since installing Yosemite, my iMac (late-2013 model with 32GB of RAM) is constantly hanging ... the spinning beach ball pops up constantly. It pops up when I open files, it pops up when I open windows, it pops up when I close apps, it pops up when I open apps, etc., etc., etc. I've tried everything and can't get it to stop. And to make matters worse, I'm having the exact same problem on my 2010 iMac. It's driving me nuts.

Slow response time, applications won't load, etc.

I'm writing this on behalf of my sister, who is on a MacBook Pro, operating Mac OS 10.4.8.
Just yesterday, she began to notice extremely slow response time on her laptop, with applications taking up to 5 minutes to load sometimes, and the Internet subsequently taking ages to switch from page to page. The laptop is also constantly freezing up, with the spinning circle showing up frequently, as well as complete system freezes on and off.
I went on the computer and repaired disk permissions, as well as verified the disk. All went fine. Tried to do a software update in order to update to 10.4.9, but the computer freezes before it can even really begin to download the information.
Numerous reboots were also tried, with nothing working. I don't want to have to do something extreme like reinstalling the operating system without knowing that there might be a simpler solution, so that's why I'm here! I'd also like to know whether we can save her files (documents, etc.), if a reinstallation is needed.
Edit: She reports that she did install or download any software or file attachments, and keeps insisting that the problem virtually came out of nowhere, in case this helps!
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Alright-her computer has gotten progressively worse, and has not even managed to reach the log in screen for the past 10 minutes. Just a grey screen, an apple, and the little twirling loading thing.
Am at a loss as to what to do...last night, I could log in, but it was still hanging and taking just about forever for it to do anything.
Is a reformat the only thing left to do? She does subscribe to AppleCare-is it worth calling them, or will they just tell her to reformat as well?
Edit: I'm beginning to think this might date back to a lightning storm we had a couple days ago-does this sort of behaviour seem to follow the behaviour or something that experienced an electrical surge? Her phone in the room was acting funny as well for a few days.

Slow response - but over 500 activities per second doing something!

Hi. I'm having trouble with my iMac running slowly with lots of hangs. The system.log.7.bx2 is showing the following activity apparently over 500 times per second!
Apr 24 11:15:12 kelvin-08e2b175 sandboxd[7358]: mDNSResponder(19) deny file-read-data /private/var/db/com.apple.parentalcontrols.keychain.jZOTiS
* process 7919 exceeded 500 log message per second limit - remaining messages this second discarded *
I've checked the parental controls and they are all off except possibly for the Guest login which seems to show it as the default.
There's also a line saying something about a slow response on refreshing the log as follows -
Apr 25 00:31:23 kelvin-08e2b175 configd[14]: Kernel configd com.apple.powermanagement.applicationresponse.slowresponse 6960 ms
Can anybody give me a pointer as to what could be wrong? Many thanks. Kev

Parameter based on decode/function field - slow response

Hi,
When one of the parameters of a report is used, the report takes a very long time to run. The parameter has a LOV of statuses in Hebrew.
The folder is a custom folder and the status in Hebrew is a decode field using a function. In other words, it first goes to a function to get the status, and then translates each status (I guess that the Hebrew will be strange but I hope that the general form of the decode is clear):
DECODE( APPS.JAFI_DISCO_UTILS_PKG.JAFI_GET_INVOICE_STATUS(
AI.INVOICE_ID,
AI.INVOICE_AMOUNT,
AI.PAYMENT_STATUS_FLAG,
AI.INVOICE_TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE),
'APPROVED','מאומת',
'NEVER APPROVED','מעולם לא עבר אימות',
'NEEDS REAPPROVAL','דורש אימות מחדש',
'CANCELLED','מבוטל',
'AVAILABLE','זמין',
'UNAPPROVED','לא מאומת',
'SELECTED FOR PAYMENT','נבחר לתשלום',
'FULL','מיוחס במלואו',
'UNPAID','לא שולם',' ')
I am assuming that the reason for the slow response is the constant run of the function in addition to the decode (which I was once told also slows the response a bit).
Is there anyway to change the sql somewhat? Without using the parameter the report takes about 2 1/2 minutes to run. Using the parameter it takes around 25 minutes to run.
Thank you.
Leah

Hi Michael,
I think your suggestion #3, checking the indexes, is an excellent start.
As to the other suggestions, I believe that everything passed to the function is needed to find the status.
We seem to have serious problems running materialized views. Our dba is actually checking it out now. One group of mv were changed a few months ago so that they are no longer needed (someone worked around it using other tables for the data). Another mv is problematic even though it takes 14 minutes to create in a tst environment (which I happen to do yesterday) and causes no problems afterwards, it is a problem when run in prod as part of a job. As I mentioned, our dba is checking it out.
I hesitate to create a new table that is updated every night with the status of each invoice. It won't be up-to-date during the day, and it means changing the report that has otherwise run smoothly until now. The user avoids using the one parameter as much as possible so it's not THAT bad...
I really appreciate your giving the four suggestions.
Thank you so much.
Leah

Slow Response Sun ONE 6.1 SP3 Win 2003

My Sun ONE web server is processing my JSP pages very quickly when serving one session at a time. However when there are 4 or more active sessions, it slows right down. Response time goes from 2 seconds (1 active session) to 60 seconds (multiple active sessions) for a single JSP page. I've been running the performance monitor to see if I can notice anything, but nothing seems to stand out. I have tried manipulating the Keep Alive settings and the Performance settings within the Magnus Editor but there hasn't been a noticable improvement.
I've recently upgraded to SP4 to see if this solved my problem, but there was no imporvement.
This server is an HP DL380 with dual 2.8GHz Xeon processors & 2 Gigs of RAM. There is a lot of available disk space. I'm running Windows 2003 and it's up to date with all the latest patches.
Anyone have any ideas or experienced this before?
I've attached the output from my performance monitor:

The JSP's are simply Hello World JSP's (however I created these type of JSP's for testing and they do respond slowly as well when these are multiple sessions).
These JSP functioned fine on iPlanet 6.0 SP1 (JDK 1.2.2) without any slow response on Win2K and inferior hardware.

Random users getting very slow response when opening messages/attachments or sending email

I have a small number of users, mostly very senior management of course, who are experiencing slow response when trying to open email messages and attachments or send messages.
They see the spinning wheel and sit there until it decides to open or send. If the message is opened and closed again you would expect it to be quick reopening the same message, no, it does the same thing again.
These users are all using Outlook 2010 and their mail accounts are on Exchange 2013. It does not seem to make a difference if they use a physical machine or log into a VDI.
I do not have the same issue generally, though I have experienced this when using VDI and this has been seen using a number of different machine pools so it is not a specific pool.
This is not specifically a VDI issue, as the 3rd paragraph says, the issues are seen on both physical and virtual machines.
none of the mailboxes are particularly large, most are at around 60% of quota limit, and the same limit applies to almost all mailboxes across the organization. They also do not appear to have a huge number of messages stored, other users without issues
have larger mailboxes and higher item counts. Any ideas what I need to look at to address this?

Hi,
How about OWA?
If OWA works well, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
Please try to run Outlook under safe mode and re-create profile for testing.
Any related error/warning/information message left in App Log?
Also consider the network Bandwidth.
Thanks

Illustrator CS4 is extremely slow on my MacBook Pro

Illustrator CS4 (14.0.0) is running extremely slow on my MacBook Pro. After selecting an object nothing happens for 3 seconds, than the color wheel rotates for 3 seconds, then I can continue working. This is repeated for any new action, like select, rotate, copy, etc. The ActivityMonitor shows 100,2 % CPU usage during these seconds, all other processes are between 0 and 1,5%. All other CS4 programs are running fine.
I have no other application running at the same time, I chose "performance" over battery lifetime in the system preferences, deleted all the "Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings" in the preferences folder for a fresh start, used the Adobe CleanSwipe tool, all installed printers are on and connected, HD has lots of free space, I work only from the local HD, have only 60 fonts installed - but no improvement. Even if I have a new document with only one object in it, this goes very slow.
Then I followed one of the recommendations in this community, installed a new user account, started Illustrator from there - and the problem was completely gone, reaction time and speed as it should be!!
Something in my initial (admin-)account is causing this problem - does anyone have a clue what it could be?
Any hint would be appreciated very much.
MacBook Pro 15" Oct 2009, 2,66 Ghz, 4GB, GeForce 9400M+9600M GT, HD 500GB (7200rpm), Mac OS X 10.6.3

That are 2 very good leads, but unfortunately I already tested that: I uninstalled all fonts, so there are only system fonts left - no improvement. I also started the admin account without any start elements (pressing "shift" during boot) - no improvement. The processes (all of them) except Illustrator are all at 0%, some can reach 0,7% - only Illustrator itself is at 100,4% for these few seconds. There is no difference between the admin account and the second user account regarding the Activity Monitor.
But the solution must be somewhere in the difeerence between the two accounts - user preferences, application support files, ???

Very slow response when I click on a link, but almost instant response if I go back and click a second time.

I often get very slow response when I click on a link, any link. But if I go back and click on the link again, then the page will open almost immediately. I discovered this by accident and noticed that this happens every time. It would be nice if I got fast response on the first click without having to do this silly procedure and it seems to me that there's a simple fix. I would appreciate it if you could help. I'm open to any and all ideas. Thanks again.
Sincerely,

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Slow response when using Xcelsius web service connection witn input values

We've been very successful in using the Xcelsius Web Service Connection. We've recently moved forward toward using input values when calling a web service and having issues with response time. Without input values, it takes 3 - 6 seconds to retrieve and display the results in Xcelsius, but, when using the input values to the web service, it takes about 27 seconds for Xcelsius to retrieve and display the results. Does anyone have experience with fixing slow response associated with using input values for a web service connection?

Hi Sharone,
What's the version of your Xcelsius and BOBJ server?
I'm asking because using the last version of BOBJ server (BOXI 3.1 SP 3) you have new services on CMC just to help Xcelsius to work better with WebServices.
Regards,
Rodrigo.

Using collections and experiencing slow response

I am experiencing slow response when using htmldb_collection. I was hoping someone might point me in another direction or point to where the delay may be occurring.
First a synopsis of what I am using these collections for. The main collections are used in order to enable the users to work with multiple rows of data (each agreement may have multiple inbound and outbound tiered rates). These collections, OBTCOLLECTION and IBTCOLLECTION, seem to be fine. The problem arises from the next set of collections.
OBTCOLLECTION and IBTCOLLECTION each contain a field for city, product, dial code group and period. Each of these fields contains a semi-colon delimited string. When the user chooses to view either the outbound tiers (OBTCOLLECTION) or the inbound tiers (IBTCOLLECTION), I generate four collections based on these four fields, parsing the delimited strings, for each tier (record in the OBT or IBT collection). Those collections are used as the bases for multiple select shuttles when the user edits an individual tier.
Here is the collection code for what I am doing.
When the user chooses an agreement to work with, by clicking on an edit link, they are sent to page 17 (as you see referenced in the code). That page has the on-demand process below triggered on load, after footer.
-- This process Loads the collections used
-- for the Inbound and Outbound tier details
     -- OBTCOLLECTION
     -- IBTCOLLECTION
-- It is an on-demand process called on load (after footer) of page 17 --
-- OUTBOUND TIER COLLECTION --
     if htmldb_collection.collection_exists( 'OBTCOLLECTION') = TRUE then
         htmldb_collection.delete_collection(p_collection_name => 'OBTCOLLECTION' );
     end if;
     htmldb_collection.create_collection_from_query(
         p_collection_name => 'OBTCOLLECTION',
         p_query           => 'select ID, AGREEMENT_ID, FIXED_MOBILE_ALL,

         p_generate_md5    => 'YES');

     if htmldb_collection.collection_exists( 'IBTCOLLECTION') = TRUE then
         htmldb_collection.delete_collection(p_collection_name => 'IBTCOLLECTION' );
     end if;
     htmldb_collection.create_collection_from_query(
         p_collection_name => 'IBTCOLLECTION',

This part is working well enough.

Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.

Try to instrument/profile your code by putting timing statements after each operation. This way you can tell which parts are taking the most time and address them.

It's best to describe the problem, in as much detail as possible, rather than your conclusions as to what's causing it or how it should be solved.

Program Monitor - slow response

In the effect controls I can scale, rotate etc by entering values or pulling sliders.
However I am suffering from a very slow response doing scaling, rotating and translating in the program monitor- while Motion has been highlighted in the effect controls.
Also I have noticed there is a yellow box with handles in the program monitor. I remember it was white before.
I like to scale in Program Monitor since it works more interactively.
I cannot figure out what to change in my preferences.

Yes that is correct. The white bounding box is now yellow. I think is looks better.
I see you have two graphic cards. Disable one of the.
Might want to get a more powerfull one.
