My iCal program is suddenly running very slowly. The "wait" spinning ball shows up every time I try to do anything on the program? Any advice would be appreciated?

All of a sudden my iCal program is running as the speed of 128K ! Not sure
why but it gives me the "wait a moment" spinning ball every time I try to do
anything ( i.e. add an event, scroll, refresh etc ) All other programs on my
machine work at the proper speeds. I have FIOS internet so no problem there ?
Please advise ?

IMac suddenly running VERY slowly

My 3 yr old iMac has suddenly started running very slowly. from boot up (10 minutes) onwards. Every action seems to result in multi coloured spinning wheel and sometimes blue spinning wheel. No anti virus loaded, plenty of memory and space on HD, No recent new applications, no cpu grabbers Have tried Mac general solutions (Safe Boot etc) - no change. Have removed a couple of apps - no change - HELP!!! Any ideas.

Hi ..
Remove all items in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Same for /Library/StartupItems
Then restart your Mac. See if that made a difference.
If it's not a login item issue, check the starutp disk.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Make sure to back up all important data first before using OS X Recovery.

I am trying to run a video at (close to) the same time on two different iPads, wondering if one iPad can talk to the other - any suggestions would be appreciated, thx!

Hello - I am attempting to run a video from one iPad that will playback on itself and a on second iPad.
Any thoughts would be appreciated - My thanks

If you don't want an EEM policy, then don't use any of the EEM constructs. Instead, all you need is this:
set output [exec "snmp get v2c 192.168.1.100 public timeout 1 oid 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0"]puts $output

I updated FCPX to 10.9 after I had updated my os to 10.9.1. And the result is that FCPx can no longer read LaCie external hard drive where all the projects and events are stored. The program simply crashes every time I try to read anything from the LaCie.

Could anyone tell me what to do to solve the problem. I updated FCPX to 10.9 and the program keeps on crash every time I try to read files stored in my LaCie hard drive. And the program also keeps on crash every time I try to import files from my SDXC cards.

I have solved the problem. Once the update is done, you need to launch FCPX, and go to File, then "update all events and projects". It will solve the problem and everything works fine.

My iMac suddenly runs very slowly

My iMac began running extremely slow suddenly. I have a photography and design company that I rely on the speediness of my machine. I ran an EtreCheck. Can someone decipher what may be causing this?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

The system is running slowly because FileVault is in the process of being deactivated. It was about 85% done when you posted your question. Watch the "Conversion progress" line to make sure it hasn't stalled.

MacBook Pro suddenly running very slowly

Hi,
My MacBook Pro usually runs quite fast, but since last night, it's been so slow. I was watching BBC One live online and it just froze, so I restarted the mac and the speed of everything is now silly. Even doing things such as opening a new tab or opening Finder gives me the spinning wheel. Things will eventually load but it's so oddly slow. I did the EtreCheck report that I'd seen being spoken about, so if anyone can spot anything wrong, please let me know! (if it makes any difference, when I actually ran the report, everything was running smoothly. not sure if that's just coincidence.)

Every time I try to use anything relating to iCloud, the programs crash.

I restored from a Time Machine backup, updated to 10.8.2, but can't log in to iCloud. My Apple ID is logged in, but if I click on Notes, I get an error code of:
This operation couldn't be completed.
(NSQQLiteErrorDomain Error 10)
If I click on iCloud or Mail, Contacts, and Caldendars in System Preferences, System Preferences crashes.
If I click on anything relating to iCloud, either it loads nothing or quits as soon as I try to add anything.
I've contacted AppleCare and they said to update to 10.8.2 which I mistakenly did not do before restoring. This did not help.
Anybody else have this issue and manage to resolve it?

Hi Chevy71,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To address this issue, I would try restarting and/or resetting the iPhone again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Next, I would turn the Emoji setting off and then on again:
Apple - iPhone 5s - Tips and Tricks
http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/tips/
Go to Settings > General > Keyboard and tap International Keyboards. Add a new keyboard and select Emoji. Now when you type, just tap the globe button and choose the emoji that fits the mood.
If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Cheers,
- Judy

I have plenty of space on the HDD
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

Mac troubleshooting: What to do when your computer is too slow | Macworld

After automatic update of Firefox 3.6, it is now running VERY slowly!

After having Firefox automatically update itself on June 22, 2010, it is now running VERY slowly for me, and is taking a LONG time (10-15 minutes) to even open!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Yesterday,Tuesday, June 22, 2010

I installed 3.6.4 on XP June 23 and had much the same experience, except Firefox 3.6.4 never finished opening, even after nearly an hour, and brought my entire system to an excruciatingly slow crawl, even though pgm mgr showed FF getting 0% and system idle with 97-98. This happened twice with a reboot in between. Finally had to roll back to a previous restore point and all is fine now, except--no new version of Firefox. I'll wait to see more feedback about 3.6.4 before trying to install again.

Ical running VERY slowly with 4 years of appointments

Ical version 2.0.5 is running VERY slowly. PowerbookG4 10.4.11. Also won't upload new data from my iphone. Itunes version 7.5. I have already reset the phone x2, and would like another way to resolving the syncing issue. Wondering if corrupt data might be contributing to the problem. HELP! I need my calendars efficient and syncing. Christine

Apple's growing too fast. They seem to be forgetting what got them here. The design and performance standards they set are beginning to fall. I bought an Apple two button mouse that clogs and works about half the time. Something I touch all day, every day works half the time. I've got iDisk and it intermittent at best. It syncs on about half my Macs I own, the other half the sync arrows spin constantly and never seem to be up to date. iCal is totally screwed up and, as I've noted in this thread, crashes my iTunes. My whole idea of moving into iCal, buying an iPhone is just out the window (pardon the pun).
I'm a Mac guy since 1987. All my work is on Mac, I stopped editing on Avid and switched to Mac, I write reviews and have always loved Mac gear. My reviews have been quoted on the Mac site. Now, the guy who has an Apple tattoo is forced to look into non-Mac products. I can no longer rely on the rock solid performance that's kept me in the fold and I can't let my business be based on a unsupported software. A calendar!!! How can a calendar be this screwed up? I swear, I wrote a better calendar program in Hypercard! Apple, you've got to get your eye back on the ball before it's too late!

Ical runs very slowly

iCal 3.0.7, MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.7 — Recently iCal runs very slowly, like 20 to 30 times slower than it used to. Can get coffee and donut from downstairs before it will change to another month, enter an event, etc. Ran disk repair and permissions repair, but it still runs slowly. Is there a way to reinstall iCal or some other way to get it running as fast as it used to?

Jon,
Try moving the "Calendar Cache" file to your Desktop. Quit iCal, and find the "Calendar Cache" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars. Move that file to your Desktop, and log out/in or restart.
If that is unsuccessful, "refresh" the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
Are you syncing any data? If so, what method(s) are you using?
;~)
