10.6 Slow - Adress Book fixed with smart group deletion

10.6 was S...L....O.....W for me. still may be, but likely connected to this issue which i have solved.
address book would take FOREVER to open. Any change would take FOREVER to log and allow to use again. activity monitor showed 100% CPU usage while it was SODing.
SOLUTION:
deleted "smartgroups" (not all, just 2 of 6) and address book went back to normal.
hopefully this solves ALL my problems.

Well that suggestion from the site referenced above about tearing the OD down, deleting the slapd.conf files and bringing it back up didn't work. 10.5 servers still see changes in OD as they happen and 10.6 servers don't see the change until around 10 minutes later.
Anyone run across this and fixed it?

Address Book freezing with Smart Groups - how to delete them?

Hi guys,
I made some Smart Groups in AB to get ready for iPhone 3G, and one of them has another smart group as a criterion – Address Book really doesn't like this, and freezes every time I try to click on that group. That's fine, I just want to delete, but you have to actually have a group selected in Address Book to get the contextual delete menu, and of course AB freezes before I can get there.
My question: is there a .plist somewhere I can edit to clear out these two groups, or any other ideas on how to delete these two groups that crash Address Book? Thanks!

quit mail and address book and go to the directory homedirectory/Library/Application support/Address Book.
delete the file AddressBook-v22.abcddb. then go to the subfolder Metadata and delete the group cards for the smart groups in question. To quickly find them search for "groups" in that folder. when you start address book, those smart groups should be gone.

Is anyone having trouble with smart groups being recognized in mail after the Maverick update?

Since I updated my iOS to Mavericks, my smart groups are no longer recognized in Mail.
Is anyone else having this problem? How can I fix it?

HT2486 Where do I access the file tab in address book to make smart groups?

I am trying to send an email to my "groups" in hotmail but they no longer appear as they did on mt old laptop. How do I create groups.

To make a regular group, click the add ( + ) button on the bottom of the Groups page.
To make a smart group, hold down the option key and click the same button.
Or, use the File menu.

Slow Mac Book Pro with Maverick Software

I have a Mac Book Pro Mid 2009 model. Ever since I have loaded Maverick software my computer has been very very slow. Is there anyway to speed up the processor or revert back to Mountain Lion software? This is really making me a disgruntled Mac user and I have always been a real supported of Apple products. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello!
I'm new to forum but I am experiencing the same problem with '09 Mac Book Pro. New installed Mavericks worked quick at first but suddenly everything slowed down and the whole system seems to be lagging and it's not very responsive. I have upgraded from Mountain Lion and never had any problems. I can understand that the machine is 5 years old but it's not very dated and should be supported buy apple in their new upgrades. However for now I would like to bring my laptop to life and wondered if there is any way to find out what is slowing down the machine or would I be better going back to my previous system?. Would Apple Genius team be able to help me with this issue?
I'm desperate to get it working.

It is the access code from Bluetooth Assistant program for the phone.

Sorry for my very bad english.

No need to bump 45 minutes after you post, Luke. We don't sit 24/7 on this forum, so please be patient and someone will eventually address your question. (In fact, all of these questions are addressed in my book http://Muvipix.com/pe10.php if you're interested in a ready reference.)
Under Edit/Preferences, you can re-activate any messages, including Smart Fix, that you previously told the program not to show any more on the General page. Just check the option to Show All Do Not Show Again Messages.
And, yes, a clip must have been Auto Analyzed prior to your adding it to your timeline or you will not see the Smart Fix option panel.

HT2486 troubles with adress book

Hello out there!
I have a situation with in my Address Book . iCloud operates Normal in between Computer and devices (iPhone, iPad) ...
I don't know why at the end of my contacts means after word "Z" then appear the sign "#" and inside there ("#") I have too many "No name" contacts probably 500,000.00 . This is crazy ! The qurestion is to know how can I erase all "No Names" contain inside "#" ... to avoid doing manually it fcould take a month ..
Obvuously since that problem when I call the Adress Book seems to be cery slow ...
Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

Here's an article on the subject

Documents with Smart Objects - Very slow to open and Save - CS6 Photoshop

When opening and saving documents with smart objects photoshop freezes the adobe PS loader (circle dots) is replaced and the system loader (multi colored wheel of death) spins for 30 seconds or more.
What I've tried so far based off looking at various posts.
Photoshop Preferenes
Save in Background off
Maximise PSD and PSB file compatability never
Cache Tile Size: 128k
Advanced Graphic Processor Settings: Basic & Normal
Layer Panel options: No Thumbnail
Observations and workthroughs to date
The file size and amount of smart objects effects the file expotentially i.e. The more smart objects you have the worse it gets
These files worked perfectly in PS CS5
It also happens on files natively created in PS CS6
The CPU is maxing out at 100% while PS loads
Closing or opening suitcase has no effect.
System:
iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011
Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Suitcase 4
Anyone got any ideas? This is making me go nuts!

A solution!
It turns out the problem in my case was in fact Suitcase. Previously, I'd tried turning it off, but that didn't fix the problem, so this time, I uninstalled it completely and the problem disappeared. I then began re-adding it (installed 15.0.1, upgraded it, etc.) and the problem resurfaced with the addition of the Photoshop-specific plugin. Deleting that plugin solved the problem. So it seems that "disabling" Suitcase by stopping the TypeCore doesn't seem to actually disable all of the tentacles it sticks into your system.
You can find the plugin here: Applications / Adobe Photoshop CS6 / Plug-ins / Automate / ExtensisFontManagementPSCS6.plugin
(After a restart, I also had to delete the font cache, as described here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html but your mileage may vary.)
Alternately, if you don't want to delete the plugin, disabling it from within Photoshop seems to work as well. To do that, go to File > Automate > Extensis, click Preferences..., then deselect Enable Suitcase Fusion 4 Auto-Activation.
Fortunately, the plugin doesn't seem necessary at all to use the the core functionality of Suitcase (enabling and disabling fonts) in Photoshop. I didn't even know what these app-specific plugins did until researching this problem, and I still don't quite understand the point of them. I guess they allow you to let the apps for which they're installed do a little bit more of their own management (enable a font via Suitcase that isn't enabled system-wide), but that seems like more control than I need--if I'm enabling a font, I want all my software to be able to use it.
Anyway, the problem seems to be completely solved on my system now, though I just did all this, so more testing over the next few days is required. I'll post here if any issues crop up. I'm interested in hearing if this solves it for anyone else as well.

Hi, the last install dvd that came out for mac's was Snow Leopard,10.6.3. Lion is a download from apple. You cannot just install it over Yosemite. You would have to backup your drive to save files you want and do a clean install. You might want to look into getting more memory. You can run 8 Gig"s of memory on your Macbook Pro.If your Macbook Pro is getting really slow you might want to download EtreCheck and then post the results here.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck Check out this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19031

I have a Mac 10.5.8 op system. My Contacts do not syn with I cloud. Trying to get my address book complete on both systems and now I have lots of duplicates on I cloud adress book. How do I efficiently merge the duplictes that are now on I cloud?

You cannot use iCloud with Leopard 10.5.8. The minimum requirement is Lion 10.7.2. If you have been syncing your contacts with iCloud you can only have been doing it by some sort of unsupported hack, and if it doesn't work it's unlikely to be possible to find an explanation. If you have been using other (compliant) devices by trying to sync using both iTunes and iCloud you are likely to get duplicates.
A computer old enough running Leopard may well not be upgradeable to Lion or Mountain Lion, but if you can do so this is the only way you are going to be able to make proper use of iCloud.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
