10.5.3 Slow/Hangs after update

I have completed my "upgrade" from Tiger to Leopard with my Macbook Pro. After the initial install, I repaired permissions from the disk, installed the 10.5.3 combo update downloaded from apple.com, and then used software update to finish updating my other apple software (including a keyboard firmware update).
Now I understand that there may still be some bugs with Leopard in general, but I want to source out and get rid of one major bug. The computer's resources don't seem to be used excessively by any specific applications...but the finder hangs for 10-20 seconds fairly regularly.
The consistent one is when the login window first boots up, the second consistent hang is copying small files from folder to folder (even on the same boot drive!). Anyone have thoughts on specific preference files, or log files I can watch for? So far Leopard is getting a mediocre review.

After starting over, a clean install, then migrating some of my old applications...things work great!

  • Iphone 4 keeps on hanging after updating to iOS 5.0 and later to iOS 5.1

    My iphone 4 keeps on hanging after updating to iOS 5.0.  I can no longer make and receive calls.  If I am successful in making a call, it will never end even after pressing stop.  The problem still persists even after updating to iOS 5.1.  How do I resolve this problem?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Computer hangs after update to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

    After updating to 10.6.8, programs hang...the busy icon circles for 2-3 minutes when I try to do anything. Even when I try to access 'About this mac'.

    In going through the suggestion to post the startup items, I came across a problem posted in Parallels website that Parallels 6.0 caused slow downs on the 10.6.8 system. I updated my Parallels application late last night to 7.0, as that was supposed to fix the slow-down, but it did not fix my computer. Still slowwwww when not in Safe Mode. I must use Safe Mode to even use my computer...

  • Slow computer after update to 10.7.4.

    After updating to 10.7.4., my MacBook Air (2,13 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 1067Mhz) my became very sluggish. Logging in lasts 5 minutes, all programmes are very slow, internet is slower, even typing is something difficult. Do you have any suggestions to remedy this situation ?

    Launch the Console 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.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or freeze, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search that archived log, and if necessary the older ones below it, for the same information.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Do the same with kernel.log.
    Step 3
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Mac Mini 2011 slow down after updating to Yosemite

    Hi all!
    After updating my Mac Mini (half 2011) from Mavericks to Yosemite, it became extremely slow and unresponsive. I have to wait a lot of time for apps to open and commands, like clicking a button, to be executed executed. File Vault, that I read is a common cause of slow down, is NOT enabled.
    What should I do? In these cases, for my Windows PC, I insert the OS DVD and format: what's the equivalent operation for a Mac?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Slow editor after update

    Is it my imagination, or has there been a performance hit after update 1? After heavy use, I've had to restart eclipse in order to speed things up, which seems to help for a short time, but eventually the editor slows down again, particularly on large CFC files with a mix of CF and HTML code. Sometimes I have to wait a couple seconds after each editor change before I can do anything, which is problematic when you're trying to move quickly. That's when I just restart and say F###! Everytime this happens, the little tractor track progress icon moves. Not sure what it's doing since it goes away too quick for me to click on it. Could it have something to do with syntax highlighting? I notice that the screen flickers a lot after each editor change, which is also annoying.
    I can't wait until CFB becomes a stable and fast because it's DEFINITELY NOT!

    I think I've resolved my performance issues by increasing the memory size of eclipse... I modified the eclipse.ini file from:
    -startup
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
    --launcher.library
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
    -showsplash
    org.eclipse.platform
    --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
    256m
    -vmargs
    -Xms40m
    -Xmx256m
    to:
    -startup
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
    --launcher.library
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
    -showsplash
    org.eclipse.platform
    --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
    256m
    -vmargs
    -Xms128m
    -Xmx512m
    (changed: -Xms40m to -Xms128m and -Xmx256m to -Xmx512m)
    So far the performance has been acceptable. I've been using these settings for about a week or so, and so far I haven't had any serious performance issues.

  • AirPort very, very slow & intermittant after update

    I installed the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001 from today's Software Update, and on restarting, my wireless connection became extremely slow (56k speeds at best) and very intermittant -- it'll work for a minute or so, then lag for two or three minutes with no signal. I've rebooted several times, but it hasn't helped.
    Is anyone else having trouble after the update?
    MacBook Pro, 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The "solution" is at http://www.macfixit.com/
    Problems after updating
    [In many cases, the problems listed below are incidental to the update and can be solved by some of the workarounds listed in our wireless troubleshooting tutorial -- many users have reported success with turning off wireless encryption (WEP, WPA) on their Base stations, for instance.
    If you are having extreme difficulties after applying this update, the workarounds listed in our wireless tutorial have failed, and you absolutely need to restore wireless access, you can try this somewhat risky workaround:
    Download the most recent version of Mac OS X for Intel (10.4.8)
    (http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=11796&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/MacOSXUpd10.4.8Intel.dmg)
    but do not install it.
    Download and install the shareware application Pacifist
    Drag the Mac OS X 10.4.8 installer package onto the Pacifist application icon.
    Click the triangle next to "System" to expand it
    Click the triangle next to "Library" to expand it
    Click the triangle next to "Extensions" to expand it
    Scroll down and find the file IO80211Family.kext. Drag it to your Desktop or another location (you will have to enter your administrator password)
    On your Mac OS X startup drive, navigate to /System/Library/Extensions and locate a similarly named file (IO80211Family.kext). Move it to another location for safe keeping.
    Now drag the file from step 7 (the one that you retrieved from the Mac OS X 10.4.8 install package) into the /System/Library/Extensions, in effect replacing the newer file (installed by the AirPort updater) with and older copy -- you will have to enter an administrator password.
    Restart your Mac
    This workaround is risky because you should not generally mix and match kernel extensions after updates, you will lose some improvements (including security refinements) brought about by AirPort Extreme Updater 2007-001, and new conflicts can ensue. Still, in a bind, it can restore wireless connectivity where other workarounds fail.]

  • ITunes Hanging after updating few songs

    Just bought a new 80GB and have been trying transfer songs from my library. My library is in an external 200 GB hard disk. I upgraded to iTunes 7.2. Run XP
    Now i Tunes hangs regularly after updating songs ranging 20 to 200 or so songs. I have over 7k songs and find it a big trouble to force shut iTunes each time.
    Have tried resotring with same result.
    Any solutions I would be mighty obliged.

    I do not have shuffle turned on. I do have one track that without the check. I thought that this check meant skip when shuffling. When I look at the options for the track (Get Info/Options) "Skip when shuffling" is not checked. iTunes does not quit on this song.

  • Safari hangs after Updating to Mavericks.

    Whenever I try to SWIPE(back and forward) between pages in safari, all the trackpad gestures stop working. I cannot even scroll up and down using trackpad. Tried the same in Chrome as well. Witnessed the same issue. But, in Chrome, I can go back to the previous page by clicking on the BACK button. While in Safari, clicking on the back button does not help. I can open and close tabs. but cannot use the trackpad gestures for anything in safari. Kindly help. I have noticed this only after updating to Mavericks. Beforre mavericks, everything was fine.
    Details:
    OS X 10.9
    Safari 7.0 (9537.71)
    Chrome Version 30.0.1599.101

    Sachin --
    This is a common situation.  Many third-party internet apps/plugins/extensions claim to be compatible with Macs.
    And many are not.  It's important to remember to check for any updates to this kinds or things prior to upgrade.
    At any rate, very happy you've got your problem resolved.

  • Has anyone got slow browsers after updating to 10.8.4

    In the last couple of days, both Safari and Firefox have shown very "jerky" performance - sometimes pages load very quickly, at other times loading stalls for a while and then restarts. With Safari, I get a spinning ball until the blockage clears itself. Running my ISP's (BTInternet) own speedtest when this stalling occurs, shows a speed near to dial-up whereas it should be near 30+Mb as I am on fibre. As soon as the stall clears, the speed reverts to normal.
    CPU useage, memory, disc space etc are all normal, I have tried rebooting the modem and router, and changing from wifi to ethernet (via Powerline adapters) has no effect. This seems to have happened after updating to 10.8.4 but, given that everthing else seems to be working properly, I am reluctant to blame this, and suspect my ISP and/or its modem or router. Has anyone else noticed problems with their browsers since 10.8.4 and, if so, found a cure?

  • Slow charging after updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 8.1.1

    Hi,
    I just updated my iPhone 5S - 16GB to iOS 8.1.1 (from 7.1.2) few hours back and it took 90 minutes to charge 6% (It was in 74% or 75% when I plugged in and it came to 81% after 90 minutes)
    I tried rebooting my Phone - No Luck
    What do I do now? Is this a known issue?

    I had this same problem with what's app.  There is a new update for the app on the app store which is compatible with ios8.  Update the app, or delete it and re-add it.  I found a lot of apps weren't compliant with ios8, but after updating everything worked fine.
