System-Wide Graphics Lag on GeForce 9400M

I have a MacBook Pro (5,4) running OS X 10.6.4 with only a GeForce 9400M, and for a while now I've noticed that there's usually a noticeable amount of jerkiness in animations when I interact with the Dock, use Exposé, etc. Everything is as smooth as can be when I'm hooked up to an external monitor, but otherwise it exhibits these problems maybe 70% of the time, so I know it's not a performance issue. Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

NVIDIA GeForce 9400m graphic installation issue.

After installing Windows XP with SP2 32-bits via Boot Camp, I inserted my OS X that does all the installation of drivers which is said to include the graphic drivers but after restarting the computer, my screen resolution went to 680x520 and to 4-bits. Everything were big, fat and ugly with geeky colors everywhere.
I've been trying to solve this problem for about 2 weeks already but still with no luck even asking this question again and again in a dozen forums. People tried and gave me the download links for the graphic driver though non of them works as most gives me the error 'Couldn't locate the compatible driver for your current hardware' or some stuff like that.
And to anyone of you that has the same exact computer as mine which is the iMac 20inch 2.66 GHz with NVIDIA GeForce 9400m graphic card that could install a working driver and is able to play games now .. PLEASE give me the link to that driver. So that I can test if it's my computers problem before handing it to the stores.
And one more question - are notebook GPU drivers suppose to work on desktops too? I've received much download link but all I see are notebook GPU drivers. Please help me with this massive issue.
Thanks in advanced.

Hey Daveyx1,
Have you checked all the software updates and installed all of the available ones? especially the EFI firmware? Check the EFI firmware version on your system and verify that is the latest from this link. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237.
If the version is not right you need to install the software updates and restart the Mac. After installing the firmware updates install the Boot Camp drivers again.
Also I know that you had tried most of the possible stuffs to get the issue resolved. However if you haven't tried that please try this.
1. Boot to Windows in Boot Camp
2. Right click on My Computer and select Manage
3. Check the display drivers installed
4. Right click on that and choose to update driver
5. When the wizard comes up let it search for the drivers first
6. If it is not finding the appropriate drivers repeat the steps and choose to install from the disk
7. Insert the Boot Camp driver disk (i.e. Mac OS X install disk) and try to update the driver.
This should update the drivers for the graphic card and the issue may be resolved. If the issue persists, please run an AHT as there may be an issue with either the Boot Camp drivers in the DVD or the Card itself.
You will need to contact the Apple store for a different disk and try installing the Boot Camp drivers or analyzing the Graphic card issues.
Hope this helps you............

System wide lag

Hello guys, new member here.
I'd like you guys to help me out with something here.
I have a 13 inch, mid 2013 macbook pro with a 2.9 ghz i7, 8 gb RAM and a 750 gig HDD.
My problem is every now and then there is a system wide lag which freezes pretty much everything and audio playing from itunes also pauses during that time, it's quite frustrating as i've been searching for a fix since yesterday but havent found anything that can completely fix it. Usually there is only itunes, safari, mail and maybe one or two more things open at a time. I have checked my HDD for issues but there seem to be none. I suspect that this is related to the CPU since while I was using safari, a process called WindowServer would start using around 35% CPU, with nothing that intensive open on the browser
Note: This was ocurring much more frequently this morning but it has gotten a bit better now after I downloaded chrome and started using it instead of safari, I would, however, like to use safari instead.
Thanks in advance, I would be very thankful if someone could help me out with this, I have my exams coming up and I rely on my laptop for a lot of stuff.

I've got this problem on Macbook pro (mid 2010, 2,4ghz i5, 8gb ram, nvidia gt330m)
I don't think it ever happened before upgrading to mavericks. But now it's horrible!
It seems to only happen to me when I'm running unity3D, but does happen every minute or even more often. And the system freezes for anywhere between a second and 15 seconds...

Fresh install, random 100% drive usage and system wide lag.

Hi there, i just fresh installed Win 8.1 after having the issue of a svchost thrashing 100% disk access for minutes at a time and lagging whole system inc mouse pointer to the point that apps and games start to crash and the issue has not gone away.
I had also had the issue on old pc using different drives.
This is the 4th system where ive seen this behaviour in Win 8 since launch and was wondering if there is a fix yet? It happens on my 2 pc, my mothers laptop and a friends desktop, all with different hardware, 2 factory installs and 2x fresh installs
from untouched iso's.
It happens randomly when nothing is running on pc or sometimes when gaming or using apps and makes the desktop unresponsive for minutes at a time and sometimes crashes apps with it due to the system wide lag. Even ctrl alt deleting can take several
minutes for the menu to appear or even start Task Manager.
Ive managed to catch 1/2 the issue with procmon but due to taking so long for apps to launch while the lag happens i can only get the last 1/2 of the trace which shows a mix between a svchost, explorer.exe and wmiprvse.exe thrashing the system to a standstill
while accessing almost every file and reg key on the disk to over a million events recorded in procmon.
IS there a fix for this or a way to check the procmon trace to see exactly what service or task is causing the thrashing? I think whatever it is is buggy/broken, running at realtime and is blocking anything else from using the system until its done,
which lags the system.
Surely even an overloaded drive wouldnt cause other apps or the mouse to lag/hang so badly to the point of crashing and even Xp or Win 7 wouldnt lag/hang the desktop due to a busy drive.

In order to diagnose your problem you will need to download and install the below
Install the WPT (windows Performance Toolkit) http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4847.install-the-windows-performance-toolkit-wpt.aspx ,
When you have open an elevated command prompt and type the following
WPRUI.exe (which is the windows performance recorder) and check off the boxes for the following
First level triage, CPU usage, Disk IO. If you problem is not CPU or HD then check off the relevant box/s as well (for example networking or registry)
Let it run for 60 secs or more and save the file (it will show you where it is being saved and what the file is called
Zip the file and upload to us on Onedrive (or any file sharing service) and give us a link to it in your next post.

System-wide lag spikes. Possible reasons?

Hi!
I have been having issues with my iMac for quite some time now and i have never really succeeded to figure out what might be causing it. The profromance of my iMac on regular basis is outstanding as I would expect it to be. How ever, every once in a while i would get an system-wide "lag spike". Everything would frzee for a second or two and the rainbow loading circle pointer would appear. During that time i cannot do absolutely anything besides move the mouse pointer.
This issue, I believe, started to take place after i replaced my HDD with SSDs. I have two raided OCZ Aggility 3 drives. I use the iMacs old HDD as an external storage. The old HDD has been formatted. Also i would like to point out that according to some standard SDD benchmarks i am not getting the performance one would expect from them.
Else than that, my iMac is mid 2010 2,8 ghz i5, i have 12gigs for 1333 DDR3 and im currently running on Mavericks, but i did have this issue on the previous versions as well.
This is my first post ever so please go easy on me. If you feel i havent written or explained enough please do let me know and i will see it corrected.

Graphics glitches occurring with the GeForce 9400M?

Has anyone seen the same type of graphics glitches occurring with the GeForce 9400M in the new MacBooks that occurred in the MacBook Pros with GeForce 8600M GT?
The link to that previous issue is here: http://apcmag.com/appleacknowledges_macbook_pro_graphics_glitch_offersfix.htm
When viewing web pages with both Safari and Firefox, the page gets corrupted when I scroll down with the trackpad (this does not happen when scrolling with arrow keys). Any type of animation or video on a page is also really jumpy and flashes in and out.
It sounds like this was a hardware issue with the graphics card in the last version of the MBPs. Has anyone seen this issue in their new MacBooks?

Hi there,
the same issue on my new MBP Late 2008. First, it happens in Safari, then I tried Firefox and there it was too. I switched the graphics to the second GPU (the better) and it seems the problem were solved. Back on the mobile GPU it never happened again.
I've never tried, but I think the problem occurs when to much Apps are opened and the Mac runs out of memory. The logout for switching the graphics gave the memory back and the better GPU has it's own memory.

Keychain, permissions and general system wide issues

Hi all,
Sorry for the slightly odd title to this post but I was at a loss what to specifically post this under due to the sytem wide nature of the problems I am experiencing with a Mid 2009 13" MBP.
The following problems exist with any user, including admins.
I was first made aware of an issue when the MBP stopped connecting to secure websites - Chrome would just give the "Aw Snap" error and Safari would give the error saying it couldn't establish a secure connection to the server etc.
After searching this, I was led to a community page saying to do a keychain first aid which then threw up the follwing results (the login keychain did not contain any items):

As well as this issue I am also experiencing:
Failure of Spotlight to open native applications e.g. I want to open Kechain Access so start to type keychain, but instead of showing the result for the application I only get a dictionary result.
If I manually try to open native apps from the Applications directory they do not open
Failure to connect to my work network drives
I came across this post on the community https://discussions.apple.com/message/25579695#2557969 and tried the suggestions of Linc Davis and specifically his suggestion about restarting in safe mode.
This does temporarily fix all of the issues that I am experiencing but they just reappear again after a while of using the laptop.
I had recently bought an SSD to upgrade this MBP and shortly after these problems started I decided that I would take the opportunity to install it and hope that a fresh install of ML might fix the issues.
Unfotunatley even after this, the problems just resurfaced.
I have tried two fresh installs of ML and since the 2nd install I haven't installed a single 3rd party application or synced any of my user data back to the MBP.
I have even tried a 2nd SSD in case the problem was somehow related to it.
All problems still persist and I am at a loss what to try next, hence my post here to the community!
It now feels like these problems may well be linked to another hardware issue but this goes beyond my experience with these types of issues!
Any help / suggestiosn would be hugely appreciated!

Hey Eric,
I just made time to go get the results for you.
In addition to the problems I detailed above, when I first tried to download Etrecheck, the system refused stating that there was not enough space on the hard drive. However, after using the inspector on Macintosh HD it was clearly not the case. Aftyer rebooting into safe mode and restarting I was able to download it. Currently having no issues due to safe mode restart but they will return eventually over the next few hours of usage.
Here's the Etrecheck results, thanks in advance

Is NVIDIA GeForce 9400 the same as GeForce 9400M?

Final Cut Pro X system requirements claim I need a GeForce 9400M to use the software but my Mac says I simply have a GeForce 9400. Are they essentially the same?

Hi,
Going to the Nvidia website, it is clear that they regard the 9400 and the 9400M as different. Is it only the form factor (M seems to be meant for laptops) or are there greater differences? I don't know. Mac users are usually saved from the Windows problems with driver updates, but that's another issue.
But my aging iMac does well enough with FCP X and seems to have the 9400 graphics card.
I agree, try the trial version and see what happens.

[SOLVED] NVidia driver for Dell XPS1340 (GeForce 9400M G)

Nvidia GeForce 9400M makes my MacBook Pro screen blinks

I am using a Macbook Pro 2.4MHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067MHz DDR3.
That's the one with the Nvidia GeForce 9400M and the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT.
Using the Nvidia GeForce 9400M, as my default video card, seems to make my screen blinks. That is random.
Apple's Hardware Test show no problems.
When I am using the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT the screen blinks stops.
I am sure that all started after updating to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I am currently running Mac OS X 10.6.5.
Is this a software problem or there is a problem with the Nvidia GeForce 9400M chip?
Does any is experiencing the same problem?
+the problem withe the screen blinking is quite old. I am mostly using my Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT as my default video card with no problem at all, but I want to be able to use my Nvidia GeForce 9400M because of the better battery life.
Any help will be valuable.+
Tom.

I have the same issue with mine and sadly I missed the date to get Applecare on this machine (they usually call but this time around they didn't). ***** that I didn't get this resolved before my warranty ran out .. I'm certainly not going to shell out for a replacement motherboard out of pocket. I now use the 9600 graphics exclusively and can almost watch my battery drop by the minute.
On a side note I'm not very impressed with the quality control Apple has had with their portables in the last few years. I bought this unit refurbished and it took two units to get one that worked properly, and even then this one never did as it's had this video blinking issue since day one. The problem is I didn't really notice it until recently when I started using it running more often on battery and decided to use the mobile chipset to save battery time. This is the third MBP I've had and their 3rd MBP that's had motherboard issues.
When it comes time to replace this one I'm seriously considering going with a macbook air or something else. Can't justify spending the money on more MBP's with such terrible track records.

Setting ALSA sound card system wide (rather than just in KDE)

Hi,
I've got an HTPC with an ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics card running Arch x86. It has its own integrated sound card for outputting audio via HDMI, which is detected by ALSA as a separate device. I've managed to set it as the default audio device in KDE 4 (via System Settings). This allows applications such as Amarok and SMPlayer to properly output audio to the HD 4350's integrated sound card, but software such as Flash and MPlayer (from the command line) are still outputting audio to the motherboard's built-in sound card. How can I change this setting on a system-wide level? I've tried running alsaconf as root and adding
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 2
device 3
to ~/.asoundrc; I got the card and device numbers from aplay:

No.

No, I haven't tried that. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip!

OpenCL Mac mini / GeForce 9400M support?

Anyone that can confirm that the OpenCL version included in Snow Leopard 10.6 supports the "newer" Mac mini's NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor?

The 2011 Mac Mini supports:
Display Support:
Dual Displays
Resolution Support:
1920x1200*
2nd Display Support:
Dual/Mirroring*
2nd Max. Resolution:
2560x1600*
Details:
*This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI or a DVI display (using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter) and2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port).
What resolution (x by y) do you get via Mac Mini> mini displayport>Displayport cable>Monitor?

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Drivers for Yosemite?

Are there updated video drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M in a mid 2009 MBP for Yosemite?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on my mid 2009 MBP and now I have maximum resolution of 1080p - so i suspect its the nvidia Graphics card that needs essential updates. Also after extensive search Im starting to get the feeling Apple have cut us off ... no surprises there.

Do you have extended AppleCare?

Suggestion: airtunes should be a system-wide "sound out" option.

instead of limiting itunes to using the airtunes option. shouldn't it be made an option in the "sound out" control panel? that would make sense... it should be easy to do as well...
cheers,
pierre

Hi Pierre,
I believe the reason that its not a system wide option is that the sound is streamed to the Airtunes, and therefore there is a lag which would be problematic for watching movies, garageband or other apps which would require synching the sound to what you are doing or seeing on your computer.
I have heard a product called airfoil, but have no personal experience with using it.
Cheers
Wynter
