Hi
First of all I would recommend checking the HDD for errors HDD malfunction might affect the computer performance you should check the HDD using the freeware toolsone of the tools which I use is the Drive Fitness Test it was posted several times here in the forum and its really great software.
If the HDD would be ok and if no error would be detected, then I would recommend disabling some processes which are not important for you in many cases different tools would be loaded during the OS boot procedure and such tools run in the background which slow down the OS.
Start msconfig and check the Startup Tab
Here you will see all the software which is loaded at the beginning you can uncheck not necessary tools
Note: if you are not sure what the single process means, use google and search in internet for more details otherwise dont disable this.

  • HT1338 Is there a Mac System Clean-up? My computer is running very slow and freeze all the times

    I don't know why my computer is running very slow and keeps freezing all the times.  It would take at least 2-3 min to load up after the not using it for 5 min.  For instance when I type my paper or doing anything on the computer and leave for a fews min after come back it would not start and the icon keeps on spinning.
    Thanks

    Pretty much all "clean-up" utilities will just make things worse.
    You need to determine what it is that is causing the problem.
    How much RAM do you have?
    For the following, report what you get when the system is running slow and beachballing.
    Open Activity Monitor (Utilities folder) and click on System Memory tab at the bottom of the screen. What does it say for Page Outs?
    Also, at the top of the window, select All Processes. Click on the %CPU header until the arrow points down. Anything pop up at the top of the list that is using a very high percentage of CPU?
    What you describe can be caused by incompatible third-party software. Boot into Safe mode and see if the problems still exist. Safe mode will be a little slower than normal, but you shouldn't see the system freeze up.

  • Installed TB on my new PC but it's soooo slow and stops all the time.

    I just bought a new computer and installed TB on it. For some reason, it very, very slow - if it responds at all. What's ahappened and (more important) how do I fix it?

    Most likely McAfee is the problem.

  • Why is my iMac running so slow and crashing all the time?

    My iMac is last years model, running on Lion OS X. It's one year old, I had it Christmas 2011. It's 1TB with 4GB RAM. It's partitioned with Bootcamp, Windows 7, so it's 100GB Win7 and 900GB OS X. I'm only using 350GB of RAM altogether.
    It's started running ridiuclously slow. Firstly, it was just when I started to work with large files in Photoshop (CS5.1). I was attempting to work on a piece for college which size is A2 (594 x 420), but it was painfully slow, so I literally stopped working and started researching into how to improve performance. I deleted a lot of software that I didn't need, verified and repaired discs, nothing seemed to work.
    Now Photoshop isn't the only problem. Certain websites aren't loading when they're working fine on my iPhone and on my iMac, such as Facebook, Google, but websites like Twitter and Gmail are working? I downloaded Avast and started to scan for a virus, but then the deadly annoying pop up saying "You need to restart you Mac, hold down the power button etc" popped up... I dunno what I'm supposed to do now, and I dunno why it's acting like this. It's been fine. Think it's a virus? I'm scanning now but nothing found as of yet.
    If anybody knows what's going on, or if this has happened to them, please let me know! I know I could just book a Genius appointment and take it to the Apple store, but I have university interviews in a couple of days, no external hard drives to put my work on, and it's 27" which is hard to lug around town...
    Thank-you.

  • My macbook pro is running so slow and crashes all the time. I've only had it for 20 months and I haven't upgraded to lion yet. What should I do?

    Hi,
    I can't figure out why my computer completely slows down as soon as I open more than one program, or if I have multiple windows in safari open.  I keep getting the wheel and it takes forever for things to load. Even if I'm typing an email or in Word, if I write more than a sentence, it freezes for a few moments. I've cleared the Safari cache and I've run the activity monitor. Nothing is taking more than 15% of the CPU.  What should I do next?
    I would include a printscreen of the activity monitor, but I don't know how to do that on a mac.
    I think I'm on the mac OS X version 10.6.8, but not a 100% sure. I bought my mac in Dec 2010 and I never upgraded to the Lion OS.
    thx.

    How full is the hard drive?
    To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

  • My original iPad is very slow and drops the signal to websites and videos all the time now.  Does it have a virus or extra junk on it to cause this or is it just so old it can not handle the extra stuff on websites these days??

    My original iPad is slow and drops web pages and videos all the time now.  Is the software just too old to handle the technology changes on the websites and video or is it a virus or junk in the iPad causing this?  I have plenty or storage left on the iPad like 18GB.  Sure would like to know.  Maybe it is just too old to handle things now? 

    IIf you are running iOS 6.1.2, you could not be using the original iPad. No matter which iPad and what version, try these basic troubleshooting steeps and see if it helps with the performance.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data. Then close all apps.
    In order to close apps in iOS 5 or iOS 6, first tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    In order to close apps in iOS 7 or 8, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Now reset your iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Imac runs slow  beach ball all the time, imac runs slow  beach ball all the time

    Hi DylanLauren,
    From your post I see that your Mac is running slower than it should be.  There are several things that may attribute to this slowness, of which you can find troubleshooting in the article linked to below.

  • Temp very low but fans all the time

    I just got my machine back from repair and i gues they took to heart that it was running hot. They fixed it but the fans are always on. I never heard the fans before at all, i don't think they were coming on. But I think they put some turbo prop blades in there now. Machine is very very fast now and very very cool, but sounds like a constant swoosh noise. Please tell me this can be corrected WITHOUT returning?

    Do you actually hear the fans or do you hear a constant sound like an airstream or water running through a thick pipe? I was told (and read in another thread) that it is the harddrive spinning. When the fans really spin up, it is a very distinct noise. When you run the Extended Hardware Test (insert the Mac OS X disc 1, reboot hand hold D pressed until an icon appears on the screen) both fans will spin up eventually (towards the end of the test). So when you suddenly hear a fan considerably louder than usual, you are not hearing the fans all the time but "just" the harddrive / airflow through the grills (which can be pretty annoying as well, in my opinion).

  • When I boot my early 2011 macbook pro it is now very slow and pull us the (Command R) window... Pictures Included.

    I took my Early 2011 MacBook Pro into the local apple store and they ran their GPU test, and my Mac actually passed it.  The Apple employee then ran a hardware test and the logic board, battery, and optical drive showed problems.  The Genius told me about their flat rate $310 repair deal, and I am going to take advantage of it... 
    Today when I am able to boot up my mac it loads very slow (showing a beachball during start up) and then the window we get when pressing Command R shows up asking me to press enter for English, and then after that it shows options like Disk Utility, Restore from Time Machine backup, Reinstall OS X, and Get online help options... 
    I erased my drive (Crucial SSD) and restored from Time Machine backup, and I am still having this issue...  Please help.

    Kappy hi, thanks again.  I wiped the drive, reinstalled OS X, and transferred from Time Machine backup...  Seems to be working better somewhat.  I will just have to pay for flat rate repair for Apple to fix everything wrong, and hopefully it will perform like new...  Again thank you.

  • Installed Safari update 6.1.1 for Lion today. Browser now running very slow and keep getting the "spinning pizza".

    I installed the Safari update 6.1.1 today for Lion. Now my browser running very slow, keeps locking up & getting the "spinning wheel". It stops spinning eventually, but recurs constantly when I try to navigate elsewhere, including within this site. Screen also jumpy/almost flickering. No other browsers installed on machine, only extension used is AdBlock. Tried to search for others with this issue, but not finding it posted and machine locking up is making it difficult. Any help much appreciated!

    Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Just check the box beside “Remove all website data”.
    Click "Reset".
    Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    Turn off Extension, and launch Safari.

  • My MacBook is very slow and constantly has the spinning beach ball of death!!!

    In the last couple if weeks my MacBook has suddenly slowed down a LOT. Sometimes it takes ages for it to boot up when I turn it on and at other times not as long. Then once I log in, as soon as I click on something, the spinning beach ball appears and won't go away so I have to force it to restart.
    It runs a little bit faster in safe mode and if I log in as a guest user, but it's still relatively slow.
    So far I have tried the following:
    - starting in safe mode
    - resetting PRAM
    - turning off then pressing ctrl, option, left shift and the power button for 10 seconds then turn it back on
    - repairing disk permissions
    I've been told that it might be best to reformat my mac, but in order to do this I need to back up. I bought a Seagate Back Up Plus 1TB and tried to use time machine. After a while a message popped up saying "Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.". There is something on my hard drive, but I cant tell if my mac has fully backed up or not.
    Any suggestions?

  • IPhoto 11 very slow and hangs up the computer continuously

    iPhoto 11 loaded fine and transferred all my photos. It hangs up a lot when being used. Sometime for 10 or 15 seconds. I ran Disk Utility to repait any permission issues. Still have the same problems. Sometimes it not only locks up iPhoto in a loop, but the whole computer. I normally comes out of the loop, but it is a pain. Anyone else having this issue with iPhoto 11, upgrading from last iPhoto?

    This performance issue, slow and locking, seems to affect Mac Pro users more than other desktop or laptop users. Wondering if it could be a graphic card issue (my thinking) since Mac Pros had a graphic card problem earlier. Try rebuilding the library with just Options #1 and #6. If that doesn't help try again with #1 and #2.
    Is your library on your boot drive? How much free space on your boot drive (with a Mac Pro I've thinking this is not a problem but have to ask)?
    Do you have a backup of your iPHoto 09 library? If so keep it safe.

  • IBook is operating slower than normal all the time now...why?

    My ibook G4 has been a great cpu for over 2 years now, but lately it seems as if it is always opening programs very slowly, and generally taking a long time to do anything. I have done nothing to the laptop lately and it was sort of all of a sudden. I noticed it operating slowly most of the time a month ago, and it just continually seems to do almost every function slowly. My specs are 1.43ghz processor, 512mb of RAM, and a 55.7gb hard drive (with only 27gb's used). I usually shut it down a few times a month and restart it, but that does not seem to help it much or at all. I usually only have a few small programs open at once. I am not the most cpu inclined person, but I do know the basics and more than the average person, but I'm at a loss here. The only thing I can think of is to upgrade to more RAM, but then again, I haven't added any programs (other than the occasional software updates that apple requires for my system) or done anything different lately, so why would my RAM be a factor? I have no idea, and know that this is kind of a broad open ended question, but any help would be better than none at all. Thanks

    Hello,
    " I then also ran Disk Utility and verified the disk permission and disk. Though when I ran check disk, it came up with the following info included at the bottom of post (this was the ONLY thing that came up bad or in need of repair). But I tried to click the repair disk button, but it won't let me, the repair disk button shows up as sort transparent and will not work. What to do now? "
    Are you booting from your restore disk and using the Disk Utility application that disk or the Disk Utility application that resides in your Applications/Utilities folder?
    You can Repair Disk Permissions from the Disk Utility app on the drive, you can even Verify whether or not there are errors on the drive such as you are seeing... but you can't fix the hard disk without booting from your restore disk. Here is how to do that.
    Shut down your Mac. Now, press the power button, hold down the C key, and press the power button all at the same time, keep holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo. You will see an Installer window at this point, select English. Do not proceed with the Installer window, instead from the Menu Bar, click Utilities/Disk Utility. With DU open, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid button and click Verify. If it still reports that error, click Repair. When DU is finished, from the Menu Bar, click Utilities/Startup Disk. When that window opens, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart. That will boot your Mac back up from the hard disk. If you need more help with this, just post back. It's a good idea to boot from your restore disk at least once a month to check for errors on the drive just in case. The error that DU reported is why your Mac was slowing down.
    " I really appreciate you taking your time to help newer/intermediate users like myself " You are so welcome. I can't tell you how many people helped me when I first started learning the Mac OS... many many many!
