10.4.10 update slows down SMB traffic?
Hi all!
This is my first mac-post. Forgive my mac-related ignorance, I'm trying to learn.. It's kind of an old-dog-new-tricks deal..
Anyway, I've been researching a clients recent complaints that reading and writing files to and from their Windows Small Business Server 2003 server suddenly (a few days ago) slowed down immensely - to the point where it's almost unusable. They use VectorWorks for CAD and loading/saving a 20MB file will take several minutes on their 100Mbit/s network! Also playing video from the server is choppy.
I've been researching the problem, and I've tested and checked out the normal networking problems like cabling, switches, server NIC, speed/duplex settings etc.. I've also tried various solutions to slow SMB traffic from other Mac-forums, like disabling TCP/IP v6 and disabling ACK delay on the macs, seeing absolutely NO improvements.
I believe, however, that I've isolated the problem to the recent 10.4.10 update:
* Their 1 Macbook with the 10.4.10 update has this problem.
* Their 4 iMacs with the 10.4.10 update has this problem.
* Their 1 iMac still on 10.4.9 DOES NOT have this problem.
* Their 1 Mac Pro with the 10.4.10 update DOES NOT have this problem.
So, it looks to me like the 10.4.10 breaks "something" on the "little" Macs while the Mac Pro seems unaffected.
What can I do to rectify this problem? My client complains about lost efficiency and I'm at a loss about what to do next. Can anyone help me out?

Not exactly clear where we are right now, but did Applejack report any fixins?{quote}
Ok, I'll try to summarize todays findings...
* AppleJack was run in interactive mode, ran all five tests, found nothing (as far as I could see)
* Rebooted twice, still no better.
* AppleJack was run in the AUTO mode. Same result.
* I tested the transfer speed with smbget, it starts at 100kbps and rises to about 700kbps as the transfer progresses. On a 100MB Ethernet, I'd expect to see at least 1MB to about 10MB.
* Then I downloaded Pacifist and installed everything that matched a search for "smbfs" in the install files, which are OS X 10.4.3 (or was it .7?? argh.. I forget, check tomorrow).
* I was now out of luck, as the previously created aliases failed and a connection to the server through Finder was impossible. Smbget still works though!
* The kextstat -b com.apple.filesystems.smbfs command now only displays infoheader, but no info.
* Now, I'm looking at a backup of a few files and a complete reinstall of the Macbook to see if that does the trick.
My client hasn't seen the bill for these hours of troubleshooting yet, but I have a feeling I'll have to throw in the towel real soon. Ooops, I sent him the link for this thread, maybe he's watching!?

I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers. I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8. What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine? Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?
Also, I have the 08 version of iWork. Will this cause problems for the update? Can I update this AFTER I update the processor?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There's no reason to think that Mountain Lion will slow down your Mac. Just make a backup of your data before upgrading with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
Also, check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Upgrade them to a compatible version or delete them before upgrading.
The external drive won't make the OS X Mountain Lion installer fail, but it's better to unplug it during the upgrade.
iWork '08 is compatible with Mountain Lion. iWork '09 includes OS X Mountain Lion features and can be purchased at the Mac App Store.
To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, I recommend at least 4 GB of RAM. You can check how much memory you have in Apple menu > About this Mac -
HT6058 Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?
Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?
Thats a hard question to answer. The iPhone 4 has older technology than newer models which can cause the device to lag. Depending on what data and settings you have on the device, it could run slower. I would probably make sure to constantly close apps in multitasking and possible think about restoring the device as a new device. Make sure to backup your data prior to the restore

Any security update slow-down problem occuring ???
hi all,
My macbk has slowed to a crawl on the net. connecting from one site to another takes up to 20 seconds. I've done permissions / onyx/ scripts/ reset safari & camino /cleared browser caches and each time it speeds up a bit but within a few minutes online it's slow again. hangs up initially at "looking for..." in the bottom bar and shows highlighted bar hung right before "www". OR at the "go to" / "contacting" stage at the same WWW
The only thing I can think that I did at about the time it began slowing down was , using software update (which I rarely use- normally download directly from the apple site, but got momentarily lazy!).
My Techtool pro is 4.2.1 and won't run on my intel apparently - or so it says in the dialogue box and when I try to download and install the incremental update it says it can't find where to install. so I am stuck with out it at the moment.
If it weren't so rare I would think I had a WORM. but that IS rare on a mac I think.
so thinking about possible linked problems with that security update.
anyone heard of any problems ?
I do have applecare, so if all else fails I can call them I guess

Chart update slows down...
Hello,
I've got a transparent picture control over a chart. The picture is
used to place a horizontal line across the chart using a mouse click.
It all works fine until the chart is filled and it has to start
scrolling. Then it really slows down.
If I move the picture so that it isn't overlapping the chart then the
chart runs at a good speed again.
Is there anyway of speeding things up? Will the chart history length
affect this?
Regards,
Adrian.

Charts, like most other controls have more work to do when overlapped.
An overlapped chart can redraw just the small area where the new data is
drawn until it fills up and starts scrolling. At that point, the chart
must redraw the entire chart. One thing you can do is change the update
mode from strip chart to either scope chart or sweep chart. You can
also make the overlay be optional, so that
it doesn't pay the overlap
price except when it needs to.

Mountain lion update slowed down my macbook pro
hey guys,
I just updated to mountain lion
however, after the installation, my macbook pro has been noticably slow.
slow booting, slow when operating installed programs, chrome/safari got slowed down as well.
Also it freezes for couple of seconds and i was wondering why.
If any of u r experiencing same problems or know how to fix it please kindly let me know!
Thank you!Have tried everything possible, repairing permissions etc to no avail.
You haven't tried everything possible or you would have a solution. If you tried the most extreme possible solution (erasing the hard drive, then reinstalling the system and nothing else) and still had the same problems, you would have discovered that you almost certainly have a hardware problem. For some solutions that you haven't tried yet, I'll refer you to the same two links I referred sylee48 to.
As for that article, that's an extremely unprofessional piece of writing. They publish - as if they were fact - the conclusions of untrained, non-technical users who do not have the necessary expertise to make such conclusions. And they concluded that these were bugs that Apple should be working on.
In fact, this may be one of the smoothest upgrades I've seen in a while. (Boy-oh-boy, you should have seen the screaming here for the Snow Leopard and Lion upgrades! It's positively peaceful in this forum compared to that.) -
Will the iPhone 6.1.3 update slow down my iPhone 4?
I've been a little reluctant to update my iPhone 4 from ios 5.0.1 to 6.1.3 because I'm worried that it will severely slow down my phone. I had this problem happen to me before with my iPhone 3. Every time I updated the softwear, my phone got slower and slower. I like some of the new features of the recent updates to the iPhone softwear, but I'm just afraid that it will make the phone slower than it already is.
I'd love to get the new iPhone 5, but I recently lost my job and just can't afford it.
Thanks, Paulvhj wrote:
Don't update it, You will end up with poor battery life and bricked wifi like everyone else.
Sorry, but I disagree with your post. I have 4 iPhones in my household and none of them have poor battery life and the wifi is working on all 4 of the, so that shoots your theory out of the water, unless I don't count as part of "everyone else". -
Why is the new ITune update slowing down my pc.
I recently updated ITunes...It now comes with a helper exe. Why did this change...It has slowed down my pc something terrible... I am running Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit..and never had this problem before...
Seems I need the helper exe to access ITunes now...I do not like updates that decide what runs or doesn't run....Is there a solution to this. I have one apple product it is an IPad mini...If it wasn't for the fact that I have purchased music and apps. It would end up in the garbage...That is how upset I am...
If this is a way for Apple to make me want to buy their products it will not work...
I have absolutely no problem with the ITune store on my IPad...just on on my desktop.Hi theresa62,
The resource below explains the processes that are involved with the iTunes software installed with Windows 7. It's possible to use your iPad mini without the corresponding iTunes software on your Windows computer .... but it would limit what you can do with it. You can't sync your iPad with your computer, use iCloud services, etc. without the software. The choice is totally up to you.

Latest Update slows down all activity
My recent automatic software update included an update to Safari. I can now have favorite sites show on screen among other things. What I really like is that my Safari browser is as slow as any PC product I have used in the past few years. Of course I would really prefer my Mac to work like a Mac. Is there some way for me to undo this latest and greatest upgrade?
Unless you have a Time Machine or bootable clone backup the answer is no.
Have a read of this thread and try the suggestions.

Does the most recent OS X v10.6 update slow down your computer?
When I first upgraded to Snow Leopard, it felt like Christmas: I got disk space back and my Mac seemed faster and more responsive.
But after I installed the latest updates (I believe it was OS X v10.6.2 and a firmware upgrade), things have not been so rosy:
- there is a noticeable delay when I modify the volume via keyboard keys, this used to instantaneous, now it's like a 1 second lag
- switching applications takes longer, balking at the animation of switching between spaces
- apps in Fusion jam up much more frequently
As far as I can tell, my usage patterns haven't changed at all, and I really did start noticing it from my first use of new updates.
Is anyone else experiencing something similar? I'm not too sure how to diagnose and fix this. It's too bad, because I was really enjoying the performance improvements from Snow Leopard, and now the responsiveness benefit seems gone.perropicante wrote:

Here are some fixes for general slowness that have worked for others. Ignore any you already have tried and any you don't want to try. Try the possible fixes in the order you prefer.
1. If you are running iAntivirus, then uninstall it.
2. Try [resetting your PRAM/NVRAM|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US]. If everything isn't fixed, then follow the [steps here including resetting your SMC if necessary|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543].
3. Look in User > Library > StartupItems and in System > Library > StartupItems. Move whatever you find in them to the desktop to see if your problem is resolved. You can move whatever you want back one at a time to test which, if any, is your problem.
4. Use [Preferential Treatment|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22790] to repair your user preferences.
5.
a. Create a new user
b. Test apps to see that they work with no crashing.
c. Drag your data and other needed things (e.g., mail) (not your whole home folder) into their proper places in your new user home folder. Use [this guide|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507] to know what to drag.
d. Re-enter your app preferences if you are going to keep using the new user.
e. If you want to use the old user name, then delete the old account; recreate it; and move everything back to the original locations.
f. You will need to fix the permissions, app settings, etc.
6. Go back to 10.6. You can do so simply by reinstalling Snow over Snow as in doing an upgrade install.
7. Reinstall .6.1 and .6.2 using [only the combo updater|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959]. -
Combo 10.7.4 Update slowing down and freezing applications
After updating from Combo Mac OS X 10.7.3 to Combo Mac OS X 10.7.4, my third party applications slow to a crawl and freeze on a rotating basis.
Affected applications:
- BOINC with which I do volunteer medical research (3 CPUs used 100% of the time);
- aMule 2.3.1 to download files;
- Mozilla Firefox 12.0 to browse the internet.
I tried to reduce the CPU usage of BOINC (3 CPUs used 80% of the time instead of 100%) to no avail.
I re-installed with some difficulty Mac OS X 10.7.1 from the copy I bought on the Mac App Store to preserve the work I had done on my iMac since the last TimeMachine back-up, but did not improve performance, possibly because I ended up with a mixed system of Mac OS X 10.7.4 components surviving the Mac OS X 10.7.1 re-install.
I am currently performing a TimeMachine re-install of my previous system (Combo Mac OS X 10.7.3) which will take almost a full day and erase my Macintosh HD to copy the TimeMachine content.
When reading posts on AppleInsider.com and TonyMac x86 blog @ http://tonymacx86.blogspot.ca, I came up with at least 3 different explanations:
- The Mac OS X 10.7.4 System takes up all the RAM memory and gives back unused, free memory only slowly, so that third party applications (and Apple applications such as the Finder and Force Quit) don't have enough free memory and freeze on an alternate basis, although my Core i5 quad-core iMac has 12 GB of installed RAM recognized by Mac OS X;
- Apple has changed kext files in anticipation of the upcoming Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and accidently changed the CPU multiplier so that the CPU is artificially limited to 1.6 GHz (instead of a quad-core 2.66 GHz);
- Apple has changed the /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist file and the following lines of the booting sequence:
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
should be replaced by using TextEdit to copy the following lines:
<key>DropSSDT</key>
<string>Yes</string>
For more info, see:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=168&t=59889
I'm just an average user with no programming skills. I don't feel comfortable with doing undocumented tweaks when I don't really understand what I am doing. On this one, I sure hope that Apple engineers are investigating the issue to come up with a fix.
In the mean time, I am using TimeMachine to re-install my previous system (Combo Mac OS X 10.7.3) which will take almost a full day. I have been deprived of my iMac for 3 days and that's all the time that I can spend on a malfunctioning Combo Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update.
quad-core Core i5-750 @ 2.66 GHz
12 GB SO-DIMM RAM
2 TB hard drive with 100 GB of free spaceFinal report:
I hope that my experience will help others who added their comments to this thread and anyone else who has problems updating Mac OS X.
Here's the solution to my problems:
1- I backed up the contents of my iMac using TimeMachine (before any attempt to install a major system update) so that I would always have a copy of my Mac running smoothly under Mac OS X 10.7.3;
2- I used Geekbench to measure the performance of my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 and achieved a score of 7622;
3- Using Google and browsing through Apple Support Communities, I realized that Mac users weren't up in arms over the Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update, instead I was confronted with a number of users reporting various issues, none of which was similar to what my iMac experienced, meaning that my experience was unique, exceptional;
4- Starting the iMac through a self-made Mac OS X 10.7.1 booting DVD (I didn't make a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion USB thumb drive), I used my TimeMachine backup to erase the contents of the iMac and replace it with the copy of the backed up iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (before the Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update);
5- Once everything was stable and running well, after repairing the Macintosh HD and then, repairing permissions with the Apple Disk Utility, I did what most Mac users do, i.e. use the Software Update command under the Apple menu to check if there were any available update for my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.3;
6- Software Update offered me a 729 MB Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update which is bigger than the 692 MB Mac OS X 10.7.4 (Client) Delta Update being offered on Apple Support Downloads;
7- I downloaded and installed the 729 MB Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update offered through Software Update which, presumably, contained additional software which is specific to the iMac model and year that I use;
8- After making a Safe Boot as described by Apple @ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455, repairing the Macintosh HD and then, repairing permissions with the Apple Disk Utility, and giving the iMac 2 more days to defragment on its own the hard disk, I am pleased to report that my iMac achieved a higher score of 7663 on GeekBench, showing that everything is back to normal and that my iMac runs even better with the Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update.
Hope this helps anyone reading this post. Good luck.

I have downloaded the new update and my phone is acting so messed up. Any info as to why, and possible fixes? Screen freezes, takes a long time to move from page to page and loads pages slow. Any info is appreciated.

I just updated my phone 2 days ago (Xperia SP). It's frustratingly slow and has trouble loading up at times.
IS there a way to undo an updateHey,
I tried the Sony Update Service, it didn't have the Xperia SP on it, I'm not sure what to do. Would I got to Sony or my network provider to resolve this issue? I've tried emailing Sony, but they're pretty lousy at getting back to me.
Best,

Maverick update slowing down computer
Hey,

Anyhelp would be awesome! Thanks everyone.
KienanI have any older 2010 i Mac and was having the same problem. Lots of spinning beach balls everytime I opened somethng and especially when I logged onto my machine. I found a solution from OSXDaily. Here's the link, www.osxdaily.com/2013/11/13/fix-finder-slow-high-cpu-use-mac-os-x/. In fact, I think this solution may have come from the Apple Support Community originally. At any rate, it worked great. No more slow opens or beach balls when I log on. I used this workaround with 10.9.1 and then had to again with 10.9.2, so any updates appear to return it to the original Mavericks bugginess. Hope this helps.
