Macbook WiFi Very Sluggish

I've had a history of WiFi problems in the past with my Macbook Pro, but as of late (the past few days), things have been more dire than usual. I'm at college (so the WiFi speeds here are incredible), but also, I need to be able to access said internet for homework and such. My Macbook Pro has been incredibly slow with WiFi connectivity the past few days, across Safari, to the App Store, to iTunes, and even SpeedTest gave me a 2.5Mbps down. It connects to networks just fine, but the download and upload speeds are very subpar. Safari often loads half a page, and then the blue progress bar freezes, and crawls. This is unusual for my Macbook. I tried restoring to a previous version of Mac, and even ran an antivirus software (it found nothing), and yet nothing has improved. Has anyone had any of the same problems? If so, have you found a possible fix? I'm starting to be afraid it's a hardware problem.
Thank you!

There are some anecdotal suggested "cures"
1) set the MTU (packet) size a little smaller. 1430 (down from 1500) seems to work for some users.
System preferences > Network > WiFi/Airport > Advanced > Ethernet > MTU: 1430
2) set it up again from scratch, including a new "Location".

Why is my Macbook Pro very sluggish after the Mountain Lion update?

It's quite frustrating being as this is my first Apple laptop. I figured that it would be easy to update these things.
I was using the prior OS and it worked just fine. Now my Macbook is just as slow as the HP laptop that I had to retire.
I'm using OS X Version 10.8.1
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

With only 4GB of RAM, how much do you have devoted to the virtual machine running under Parallels? Even if it's a small amount, it's going to make page outs and swaps used very high. From my perspective, 8GB of RAM is the 'sweet spot' for running Mountain Lion.
I'm assuming that you've a 15" mid-2010 MacBook Pro? If so, you can speed things up by installing the maximum 8GB of RAM. Go RAM shopping at Crucial or OWC.
Other than upgrading your RAM, the only thing that you can do to speed up your machine is to install a SSD. You can also check the SSDs at Crucial and OWC and decide if one is right for you.

Acrobat XI very sluggish on Yoga 3 Pro

I have noticed that Adobe Acrobat XI is very sluggish on the Yoga 3 Pro. Specifically laggy when zooming in and out, panning, scrolling, and full screen. This is especially apparent with full screen and quite annoying in tablet mode. However, using the Microsoft Reader app with the same PDF files does NOT experience this lag.
What I then discovered is that this has something to do with the Core M processor and it getting its power limited. If you change the power plan in OneKey Optimizer to High Performance (from Balanced, for example), Acrobat all of a sudden becomes quite snappy.
When in tablet mode, if you simply want to read a PDF file (and use Acrobat), you do not need "high performance", so to extend the unfortunately bad battery life of the Yoga 3 Pro, you would want to put it in Balanced or Power Saver -- this should still be sufficient to read PDF files, but it is not the case with Acrobat XI unfortunately.
I'm not sure which specific CPU limiting feature of the power plan is causing this issue in Acrobat, but I thought I would post this because I couldn't find anything on the internet on this issue.

Acrobat XI Very Sluggish After Update Ver. 11.0.09

After ver. 11.0.09 updated my Acrobat Pro XI, the program operates very sluggishly. In a multi-page PDF, there is a several seconds lag when scrolling through pages. And as one page changes to the next, there is always a "ghost" remnant of the page bottom before the next page appears. Also, when I have the thumbnails viewer open on the left and highlight a new page, there is a longish delay of several seconds before the full view of the page opens up. And sometimes when opening Acrobat XI, the entire viewing area is just white (although some of the menu bars is visible) for several seconds before the program interface fills out. All in all, with the update to ver. 11.0.09, my Acrobat XI has become a lot slower and downright slow. None of this existed before the update 11.0.09. (I actually uninstalled the Acrobat XI program and reinstalled to see if the program's function would improve, but no such luck.) Is there any way to fix the slowness of the program or restore it to its efficient operation level before ver. 11.0.09?

So, just for everyone's FYI: if you weren't having problems with Acrobat Pro XI before the 11.0.09 update and you are now having issues because of 11.0.09, like I was with totally sluggish and non-responsive commands and performance, you might want to do what I did. I completely uninstalled Acrobat XI, ran the Adobe Acrobat clean up tool, then re-installed Acrobat XI and updated it manually starting with 11.0.01, then 11.0.02, then 11.0.03, skipped 11.0.04 (issues it created), skipped 11.0.05 (won't install without .04), then installed 11.0.06, 11.0.07, and 11.0.08. Did not bother with 11.0.09. What is important to remember, I think, is that just because Adobe puts out an Update does not mean you need to install the Update, especially if you are not having any usage issues or performance problems. So, I am back to Acrobat XI, ver. 11.0.08 and totally satisfied with the efficient and great performance that I am getting out of the program.

I'm having multiple crashes on my new 5s. I can't connect to my Mac Pro!! Power cord broken. How can I fix this without connecting to my MacBook? Very frustrating and disappointing. Please help!!!

Hi there Rlong50,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

MacBook Pro - Very slow, Full RAM, Fan is constantly on - With EtreCheck, etc.

Hello everyone! Thank you all in advance for any type of help or advice, I appreciate it a lot.
I am using:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)
Running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2
Processor 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
Macintosh HD has 294,08 GB free (out of 499,25 GB)
I am a student, using my MacBook constantly during the day. Applications that I use daily - Safari, Word, Outlook and Finder are always on; a lot of the time I am also using Photoshop CS6, Skype.
Ever since the update to OS X Yosemite my MacBook did slow down noticeably. I left this issue unattended as I was using uni computer at the time. Recently I returned to the actual studies and design work on my MacBook. I couldn't cope with how slow it was, ended up in forums looking for the solution. I tried a couple of things already (was restarting/shutting down computer in-between these tasks):
1. Disabled FileVault (it was on for moths, I had no idea of what it is), completed the decryption process (it took around 10 hours).
2. After that I ran EtreCheck, that found a couple of actual and potential issues, I more or less sort it out, will attach the new report in the end of the post.
3. Tried to disable Spotlight to affect mds, not sure it worked.
4. Moved to Trash apps I wasn't using, properly uninstalled only a couple of them. Emptied trash.
5. Erased Safari history that emptied about 500MB of RAM, but then it went back to almost 3.98GB full out of 4GB.
At the moment I only have Safari on and kernel_task takes 570MB of memory, used RAM is 3,88GB out of 4GB.
Fan is constantly on, MacBook is very slow. If I understand correctly RAM is the main issue, unfortunately being a student I am not able to buy and install more memory. I also understand that Photoshop takes a lot of RAM memory, what can I do about it? Photoshop is a crucial app for me.
Is there a way to free some of the RAM memory and make my Macbook faster? Would a clean Yosemite install help? (Can Yosemite at all perform properly on a MacBook with only 4GB memory? What will help it run faster?)
Here's my EtreCheck report:

Thanks a lot in advance! Looking forward for the possible solutions!

Let Spotlight finish indexing your HDD. Stopping it is pointless.
Regarding the fans, it is always running when you turn on the MBP. It is a question of how fast. If there are light loads on the CPU, the fans should be near silent. If otherwise, try a SMC reset.
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
If that does not slow the speed at very light loads then there are other reasons that need to be explored.
If you cannot instal;l additional RAM (your MBP will accept up to 16GB) then you will have to accept slower performance. Yosemite is a RAM glutton. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are Owc and Crucial.
Time Machine or any other backup is only necessary if the data you have on your MBP is important. Ask yourself this question: What will be the degree of inconvenience should the internal HDD fail? All hard drives eventually fail.
Ciao.

Photoshop CS6 very sluggish after assigned RAM is used up

Hello community,
during the evaluation of my PS CS6 trial I encountered the following problem. Painting on a layer mask is very, very sluggish once Photoshop CS6 has used up all RAM that has been assigned to it.
When I am in 100% view and <shift><click> about 10 times in quick succession it takes almost a minute for photoshop to catch up, often the last clicks get lost and the next click draws a line without using <shift>.
I tried without appreciable improvement:
- Different brushes (hard, soft, down to 10px)
- Disable graphics processor
- Disable layer icons
The problem seems to be related to virtual memory handling. Does PS CS6 use virtual memory buffering? The Activity Monitor shows still free memory.
In comparison and on the same system, Photoshop CS4 with default VM Buffering remains quite responsive although the RAM usage of PS CS4 (active + inactive) is much lower than in CS6.
What can I do to fix the problem? This issue prevents me from upgrading to CS6.
Thanks
Thomas

I did a lot of additional testing and made the following observation:
It happens only when painting on the layer mask, not on the layer itself. After some brush strokes in the swapping state (see above) the program reproducibly behaves like this when trying to make another stroke:
I make a stroke with the mouse
Some seconds later the initial point appears, there is some disk write activity
Then Photoshop's CPU utilization rises to 100% with zero disk activity - it stays there until ...
I click somewhere in the image and immediately a linear stroke from the initial point to the click position is drawn. This final click even works when Photoshop does not currently have the application focus - application switching to Photoshop via the dock icon does not visibly work anyway in this state.
I can repeat that sequence. If I wait long enough it somehow gets cured, but then it only takes another ~10 strokes to get the strange behaviour back.

My iPad 1 has become very sluggish, why and how to fix?

My iPad 1 has become very sluggish. Even typing often has small delays in showing letters. It seems variable, alas, so no obvious app or condition is implicated. I have closed all apps and done a cold restart but that does not help. I have the latest OS updates. Would pruning my photo library help - I usually add photos directly from my cameras and have quite a few, and they are large files.
Thanks,
Tom

Firefox (3.6.10) is very sluggish/slow and hangs up

All of a sudden Firefox (3.6.10) is very sluggish/slow and hangs up
I've been using Firefox (very actively) for over a year now and all of a sudden (yesterday) it began to act very sluggishly. On sites I have always visited frequently it hangs up for periods of 15-90 seconds or more, won't scroll down, won't open hot links, slowly opens new tabs ...
I rebooted my PC (multiple times), powered down my modem and router, ran a Norton disk optimization - essentially making sure it was not an outside factor effecting Firefox's performance. (Note: I am using a cable connection.)
I then ran a side by side speed comparison with Internet explorer (on my 2nd monitor) going to the same web sites, and IE had no problems/hang-ups.
FYI I only have a couple of add ins/extensions (Java, Microsoft Framework, Norton, No Squint, & RealPlayer) and none of those are new within the past few weeks at least.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? How to fix? (As I much prefer Firefox to any Microsoft product.)
Thanks.

Yes, FF gets sluggish from time to time. Sorry but it's the fact! FF also cannot render some websites properly (especially v3.6.10). I'm a big fan of all Mozilla software but FF 3.6.10 makes me very disappointed.

Why is my mac book pro very sluggish in opening windows/color wheel

why does my Mac Book Pro acting slow when ever I'm working in multiple windows, going back and forth,
it take for ever to open up load the pages, and there is a rainbow color wheel spinning, not sure what is going on with it.
please help, and my 3 year warrant has just expired. please help.

Check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Click the Apple menu icon top left corner in your Desktop. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then select the Storage tab.
Make sure there's at least 15% available storage space.

If storage space is not the issue, the startup disk may need repairing. Use Lion Recovery

OS X very sluggish after automator crash

Hi,
Yesterday automator crashed twice, and since then everything else in OS X is very sluggish. Websites take almost a minute to load, menus only pop up a couple of seconds after clicking on them and other applications have been quitting unexpectedly more often. I have tried restarting, and that doesn't seem to help.
Here is the first part of the crash log, it's the same thing both times:

Do you have a public folder that you could put the System Trace in?
To make sure the trace is as useful as possible, try using the keyboard shortcut (option-esc) to start and stop the trace. Start up Shark, go into TextEdit, and then right before you open the menu in TextEdit, hit option-escape. Pull down the menu item, hopefully it is sluggish, and then as soon as it appears, hit option-escape again. That should give a fairly targeted trace, and then hopefully you have a public folder and we can try to figure out what is going on.

My macbook starting very slow i want to factory reset

my macbook starting very slow i want to factory reset

Hello sallay Amir,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you would like to erase your MacBook Pro and install a new copy of OS X, but the Mac does not boot to OS X Recovery when you hold the Command + R keys during startup.
If your Mac came with OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) or earlier, I recommend referring to the steps in this article:
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install - Apple Support
For a newer Mac (OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite), try reinstalling OS X by using Internet Recovery, as described in the "OS X Internet Recovery" section on this page:

All the best,

X very sluggish during disk activity...

Hi,
Recently, X has become very sluggish when disk activity is taking place. It doesn't seem to matter if it's a read or write operation. The pointer freezes and judders across the screen and everything basically stops until the disk access is finished. Usually this is only a problem with large data transfers, but if i'm backing up files or compressing archives it's really annoying! Transfers to USB disks have the same effect.
Does anyone have any idea as to why this may be happening?
Thanks
Dan

I have had mixed results with hdparm - in particular enabling dma seems to help but I have an hdparm line in my rc.local and if I try to enable dma there I get a system lock-up on boot when the command is executed.
Not a memory issue - It's not the most recent laptop but has 1gb of RAM. I've been using ARCH since 2004 and this problem seems to be recent (in the past six months or so) but I can't seem to find any cause for it.
Does anyone know of any changes to the Kernel? I'm using anticipatory scheduling at the moment but have also used CFQ and the results when it comes to disk access slow-down are about the same.

After beat mapping Logic is very sluggish and unresponsive

I recorded a track without a click, very rubato. Then I manually played in 1/4 notes on a midi track. I used "Beats from region" on the beat mapping track. After that when the song starts to play, if I click on a track or do just about anything with the computer keyboard I get the beach ball and Logic becomes very sluggish or unresponsive. It I revert back to the previous version of the song, without the beat mapping, there is no problem. I did notice that the rubato tempo was screwing up the beat sync on the tape delay plugin, so I put it in bypass, then removed them.

In any case, personally, I avoid to use automatic function suach as Audio to Midi or auto beat mapping...
I'm an old... ... Old school musician...
when I have a song that requires rubato parts and "rallentando" or "accellerando"...
I write the score as Conductor of myself...
I prepare the song by manually editing tempo changes before start recording...
This way is very good also for musician, amateurs, students...
after editing tempo changes Logic will be your personal orchestral conductor trainer...
and will be able to test skill of performer...
the word "PRO" in Logic is focused to professional musician... including students and amateurs can enjoy a fabulous experience ... it is very similar as the musicians or soloists when they are in a professional production environment.
(this is the OLD SCHOOL way)
just my 2 cents
