HP Laserjet 100 color scans VERY slow under Mountain Lion

i have uninstalled the software and drivers and reinstalled using the 10.8 installer form HP.  The scan process takes up to 2 minutes per page when under Lion a page could scan in 22-36 seconds.
Anyone else have this problem or a solution for speeding the process up?

I have this problem with hp 1536dnf. Have you found a solution yet?
I'm having a discussion with an hp "Expert" on the hp site. You might want to join in with any solutions you've found or, if you haven't, to let them know the problem goes beyond the 1536dnf.

  • Time machine very slow with mountain lion

    Time Machine backups seem very slow with Mountain Lion.

    Same problem here. I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I only got 19 GB of space, but Time Machine wants 10 hours, whereas in OSX Lion a full backup would take just under an hour, and incremental updates were lightning fast.
    I even sat it up to do it overnight, but on 8 hours it was only half way through only 10 GB. I can't live with that in the future.
    Im trying to backup on a SD card which seems to work very good in Lion. Im on a 2012 Macbook Air using a SSD.
    My bite of the apple has been somewhat sour. I tried reformatting the SD card, well knowing that I would lose old backups. But still the backup is extremely slow. Now I can't install Lion or Mountain Lion from scratch without having to wait 10 hours for TM backup or installing tons of applications and settings again. Bummer. I'm never going to early adobt a OSX upgrade again.

  • Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

    Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

    I have other mac's on my home network that are still running Snow Leopard and the are performing well. I wanted to use the iCloud so I upgraded and instantly started experiencing the slow down, to the point of ridiculousness. Other function are mixed some normal speed, others a day on the beach with the spinning ball. Firefox is at full speed, good thought, haven't checked Chrome yet.
    Last night and hooked into a projection unit that adjusted my screen resolution for a presentation and after the event my Mac reset back to the normal settings and Safari launched and is running normal speeds so far. In the past there have been issues with performance speeds and certain resolutions, has anyone had similar luck or is this a fluke?

  • Safari slow under Mountain Lion

    A friendly enquiry to the Apple Expert Community
    After I have upgraded my LION configuraiton with the latest MOUNTAIN LION Release, Safari has become very slow in loading web pages. I am connected to a highly performing Internet DSL Link (VDSL 20kbit's DL / 2kBit's UL).
    Under LION I had no problems in this area. Also I must mention; when using FIrfox under Mountain Lion (ML), the Internet and Web Page Loading Process is very fast!
    What have I done for test purposes:
    1) I deactivated all iCould services to see whether it would improve - no change - still slow
    2) I Did a clean ML Installation with no software etc on it - from scratch - all patches loaded etc. - Safari STILL SLUGGISH !
    Assumption:
    There is a bug or new feature within ML, possibly the new combined URL and Search Bar feature (searching ahead, etc) which slows down the load of Web Pages... ?
    Anyhow,
    The results of my short tests give me a strong indication (proof) of, the slowness of Safari 6 under ML is not caused by mal user handling or buggy software installed, but an initial insufficiency of the first release of ML
    Question:
    Does anybody have already found a slution to the described problem?
    many thanks for some feedback

    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
    Click the column headed Kind in the list of keychain items to arrange the list by kind. Look for certificates that are expired or invalid. Delete any you find.

  • Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow, Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow

    Why is Safari so slow after Mountain Lion upgrade?

    I have a home Optimum wifi network with Boost connecting to an Airport, with a second Airport extending, and an Airport Express extending. I have a MacBook Pro, last year's model, two iMacs, a year old each, and an older iMac. (If necessary I can get all the models etc, but I just want to express the problem). The two new iMacs and MBP are running Mountain Lion. The older Lion.
    Since upgrading to ML my connection speed both over the wifi and directly connecting to the router has dropped from 30-50 down and 5 up to between 1-4 down and 4 up. I have had the cable folks here to test lines. We've swapped out the modem with a new one. I bought a new netgear N600. Everything led to the same result.
    Here's the odd part. When restarting the modem and plugging it directly into the powerbook, initial tests show 30-50 up and 5 down. But once you reconnect to wifi, lose speed, the re-connect directly to the modem the slowness persists directly connected to the modem.
    So I start suspecting Mountain Lion. BUT the older iMac cannot be upgraded to Mountain and is still running Lion and has the same issue. The equipment is in the same place it's always been. We've added no electronics that would be interfering with signals.
    Everyone is stumped and looking suspicously at the computer and OS. Please help. I'm beginning to hear the bing bong bing bong of dial up in my head.

    Regardless of whether you think you need it, uninstall it and test to see if the slowness problem is solved.
    If it isn't put it back if you must, but there's no point trying to look for another cause till you've eliminated this one. You have a huge amount swaps which is what is causing your slowdown. 90% chance that's your AV software doing that.

  • Apple File Sharing very slow with Mountain Lion

    I've noticed since upgrading to 10.8 the transfer speeds over a LAN via AFP (File Sharing) are VERY slow.. in some instances.  Based on the behaviour i'm guessing it has something to do with the amount of items.
    for instance:
    A folder that contains approx 122mb worth of 1500 small files takes me about 50 seconds to transfer while a long audio recording with a greater filesize of 125mb takes only 11 seconds.
    using SCP from the command line the same 122mb folder took only 19 seconds while the audio took 10 seconds.
    after performing the same operations on a computer running 10.6 I can deduce that the problem is on the receiving end.  Audio file transfer times were the same, however the same folder of items took only 27 seconds when it was transferred to a computer running 10.6 regardless of which OS the computer sending the file was running.
    apparently handling a greater number of files increases transfer time for both methods but AFP is painfully slow with 10.8 on the receiving end.
    any thoughts or suggestions?
    I've read a couple threads about people having trouble with Time Machine running slowly.. i wonder if this is related.

    Same problem here. I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I only got 19 GB of space, but Time Machine wants 10 hours, whereas in OSX Lion a full backup would take just under an hour, and incremental updates were lightning fast.

  • Why does office 2011 run slow under mountain lion?

    I was in an Apple Store and launched MS Office (Word or Powerpoint) on a new iMac they had on display.  It was very slow.  I rebooted and repeated the event from cold.  It made no difference.  Is there a problem with M.Lion and Office 2011?

    I suspect it isn't that the program is running slow it's just these programs aren't made by apple therefore could take up alot of RAM space so the more apps you have open the slower your system will be. Try downloading apple's iWork (pages, keynote and numbers) and quitting some apps. You should see a major difference. If you would like to stick with MS Office just quit your apps. I doubt it's the program.

  • Macbook Pro 2010 very slow since Mountain Lion!

    Hi!
    My Macbook Pro 2010 has become very slow since I installed Mountain Lion. How can I use OS X Lion again?

  • Formatting my HD very slow after Mountain Lion crash

    Hello everyone, I downloaded Mountain Lion and everything was great. Suddenly, all my apps crashed at the same time. I couldn't even Force Quit so I decided to turn the mac off by pressing the button. After that, when I turned it on it never started the OS, what I had was the Apple Logo and a spinning icon.
    I backed up some files I needed into another computer via Firewire (those files were very very slow when copied, like for 600 MB 2 hours).
    Now I am trying to erase the disk so I can do a Clean Install of ML but it is taking forever. I am afraid it's a HD issue. I read this problem was caused by Sophos antivirus so that makes a little bit happier.
    Is it normal that it takes so long to erase the disk? It has been like for 15 minutes.
    Thanks in advance for your help guys.

    It depends on what options you chose for erase. If you chose any kind of overwrite 15 minutes may not be unreasonable (certainly no on a 7-pass overwrite, but even on a single pass overwrite 15 minutes could  be used up depending on the size of your disk and how full it was).
    From your description, I have to say I'd suspect a HD failure rather than Sophos. Still, if you're wiping the disk we'll never know till you try to reinstall and see how you get on. If you choose to migrate from a backup, you'll have to start up in Safe Mode (hold down the shift key while powering on) to make sure Sophos gets bypassed. Actually, try 'shift-command-v' while you power on, which will show you the log as it boots up. You might get some clue as to where its hanging, if it hangs.

  • Stage/Timeline extremely slow under Mountain Lion

    Hello everyone,
    I'm having this issue with Flash CS6 on OSX Mountain Lion. Almost every action in the program causes it to slow down considerably. Things such as selecting/moving anything something on the stage, selecting something in the liberary panel, clicking buttons on any editor panel, and scrubbing the timeline. Even using the Mac's menu bar in Flash is slow. The slowest thing is playback from the timeline editor, it becomes so slow that it often crashes the application:
    Even though all of this is happening, every other application is running perfectly fine. Flash isn't taking more RAM or CPU that it usually does (except when it's about to crash), and I've only had this problem after upgrading to Mountian Lion, in Lion everything was fine. SWF file publish and playback have no problems whatsoever. The exact same problems are even effecting Flash CS5.5. I am an Adobe Creative Cloud member and all the other apps that I've tried work perfectly. I've also tried Flash CS6 in Windows on the same machine and that works as it should. This problem also consists on not only my existing .fla projects, but also brand new ones with absolutly nothing in the liberary or stage.
    I have an Early 2011 13-inch Macbook Pro with a 2.5 GHz i5 and 8 GB RAM upgrade. I also have the 32-bit version of Flash CS6 and CS5.5, and of course OS 10.8
    I have a Bootcamp of Windows, so I can keep working, but rebooting is a big hit on my workflow, so I plan to use my backup of Lion. But before that, I want to try and solve this problem.
    Thanks to those who read this! I hope I can solve this problem.

    Yep - I know the MacFuse is dead, but aparently it is the only way to run the free NTFS-3G plugin. All other options are commercial. I am trying now Paragon NTFS For Mac - if it works, I will have to buy it. And it's the same 20$ as I pay for the whole OS! So basically I will just consider going back to Snow Leopard - I know that I will have much less compatibility problems there in general... I will be able to also run Extensions Manager 1.8 (CS3) there, cause it also doesn't work on Mountain Lion (it is a known issue). It's just too much isn't working for me on 10.8 and Adobe

  • Mail very slow in Mountain Lion

    The upgrade to Mountain Lion went smoothly but Mail works really badly afterwards.
    When sending an email, it takes a few minutes before the mail goes out. And that's with any size message.
    Auto-completion of mail addresses while composing takes multiple minutes. Even after it finally comes up with a list of email addresses, pressing enter on one also takes minutes to acknowledge
    At various times, hitting the mail icon on the dock has no effect. The same is true with Command+TAB
    Overall, the unresponsiveness is painful and making me wish I hadn't upgraded

    This didn't solve my problem. First of all:
         $ ls /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
         ls: /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist: No such file or directory
    but I do have the file in my local Library:
         $ pwd
         /Users/spate/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
         $  ls -l *mail*
         lrwxr-xr-x  1 spate  spate     64 Jul 26 11:08 com.apple.mail.LSSharedFileList.plist@ ->      ../../../../../Preferences/com.apple.mail.LSSharedFileList.plist
         -rw-------  1 spate  spate   6733 Jul 27 08:24 com.apple.mail.plist
         -rw-------  1 spate  spate  56130 Jul 27 08:12 com.apple.mail.plist.bak
    This is after I moved com.apple.mail.plist to com.apple.mail.plist.bak and then started Mail again. As you can see, it created a new, much smaller com.apple.mail.plist
    No luck - just as painfully slow as before!
    This is horribly painful!

  • QuickTime Screen Recorder Very Slow in Mountain Lion

    Is anyone else having problems with the QuickTime screen recorder in Mountain Lion vs in Snow Leopard? I remember it being light in Snow Leopard, but now, it hogs CPU and GPU (I think) cycles. Most of the time, what I'm trying to record (even just Safari or Finder windows) slows down because of it. Is there a fix for this? My computer is perfectly capable of running Mountain Lion and is much more powerful than my older Mac, which could use the screen recorder just fine in Snow Leopard.
    I've also noticed that, if you choose to record audio from a mic, it doesn't start recording video until you make a detectable sound. I can tell by the bitrate meter it shows. This is stupid in my opinion... It should just start when I tell it to.

    File a bug report with Apple. Aside from that, I can't help.

  • Hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175a suddenly very slow

    I have a HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a printer, which has always worked fine (except when in cool down mode). Suddenly, it has started printing extremely slowly - for example, last night I sent a document of 20 pages to print at around 9pm and was still waiting for it to finish at midnight!
    Nothing has been changed in the settings.
    What can I do to fix this?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Thanks for letting me know NOG55.
    Have you tried another USB cable? Just to rule that out.
    Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
    On the printer select the Setup button, Reports, Config Report.
    Does that print slow or fast?
    If you are having this issue printing the hardware self test also, update the printer's firmware.
    Software & Drivers. Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
    If you are just having the issue printing from the computer, uninstall and reinstall the printer software.
    Thank You.
