7.4.1.2 is SLOW, LAGGY and SLUGGISH

What the ****? I click to see if a song has been transferred to my iPod, click back onto my music libray and it takes 10 seconds to show the library. This has never happened before. What's the deal?
Clicking anywhere, even menu items, the program will lag - what did you do Apple? You messed up this release somehow.

Macbook Pro is slow/laggy and makes a weird noise

Hello members,
I have a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion with all the latest updates. Everything was fine until 3 days back, when it started acting up. Moving the cursor was extremely laggy, and starting up any application takes forever. I also noticed a weird noise, more like a phone pulse dial, coming from the front. It repeats itself every 3 seconds, so I first thought it must be the HDD failing. But I have run all sorts of hardware tests but every test seems to infer that the HDD is working fine. Is it possible that the HDD is failing even though it doesn't show up on any test? The Apple store nearest to me is more than a 3 hour drive away, so it's almost impossible to go there in person. Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance.

I suggest you start with these user tip articles:

Why is firefox so insanely slow, sticky and sluggish?

As I'm typing this in firefox the letters are popping on the screen about a good 20 plus seconds later. I like a lot of the features it offers but my God it is so utterly, insanely and maddeningly slow, sticky, sluggish, torpid and might as well toss in the entire thesaurus.

Hi Greg,
Have you tried emptying the Firefox cache? If not, In Firefox, from the Tools menu, select Clear Private Data. Make sure Cache is checked, and then click Clear Private Data Now.
Have you tried trashing the Firefox app and downloading and reinstalling Firefox? Make sure and save your Firefox bookmarks: Bookmarks>Organize Bookmarks, under active bookmark manager, file-export.
Also, anytime apps slow down even if it's just one, check your free drive space. Select your MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, press Command + I that will prompt the Get Info window. Click
the black arrow next to: General so it faces down. You will see: Capacity and Available Minimum drive space shouldn't less than 15% of the total drive. Some users say 10%, some say 20%, so I aim toward the middle. If indeed your short on drive space, transfer files to an external source.
Also, try running Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions.

Slow typing and sluggish

In the last few days my imac has started to act funny. When I type fast it takes a while for the type to catch up to me. Very frustrating. Does anyone know what is going on? Thank you.
PS I put this question in the wrong thread first.

It would also pay to use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

Slow rendering and sluggish performance...

just built a new machine for cs3 prod studio. quad core 6850, 4 gig ram, xp sp2, 150 raptor boot, 2 500 wd re2 in raid 0 for data...get the picture, all good stuff. however I'm noticing very long rendering times as well as a slight sluggishness overall in pp cs3. I'm using the onboard raid from my asus p5k as well as the onboard sound. Is that the culprit? One of my other pc's is a qx6800 with same specs however I'm using an areca sata raid card for my data and creative sb x-fi elite for sound. btw I use cineform prospect hd for my editing. now I have a 15min video with very minimal editing, just a few dissolves basically, and it is taking 3 hours to render out the hd avi which takes 10 minutes on the other pc. Also when editing the pc seemed to lag when I performed edits. and when I'd play a clip it would start then the sound cuts out for 5 secs or so then comes back on. So what should I look for 1st? I'm thinking its the onboard raid sucking, but on a brand new install I'm sure there are some tweaks I'm missing. TIA

I started a post titled 'playback lag'. I have exactly the same symptoms you do. Did you find a fix?
My system is running Vista, I was thinking of going back to XP just to solve this issue but I see your running XP.
Is your integrated sound a SoundMAX device?

I have a ipod touch 4g for 3 or four years its in perfect condition no scratches or breaks but its so laggy and slow ive tried everything

i have a ipod touch 4 generation 32 gig white for 3 or 4 years its in perfect condition no scratches or breaks its slow , laggy and does not react when you touch it ive tried everything updates , factory reset ,delete all data music photoes everything on it and even updationg ios its not working its been like this since i first took it out of the box never bother me cause i never noticed untill now i cant even put movies videos or music on it even all the apps are slow on it what are the steps to take with this ipod touch what should i do i think i might be out of warrenty

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The appointment is free.

Slow, laggy, freezing, and looks terrible

So yesterday I updated to the most recent version of Skype for Windows desktop - primarily to fix the stupid issue where you can't change or see group chat pictures in any newly created groups.
And in the new update I find the 'new and improved' version to be incredibly slow, laggy, and occasionally freezes - to say nothing of the UI looking like pure straight unadulterated trash that takes up way too much space and looks like a giant text-messaging window on a phone. Like someone ate nothing but pale blue and white food and then vomited on a screen.
(was going to imgur link the image but I guess that's "not permitted". see attached instead.)
I guess I can only ask "why." I mean, yay, group icons work again (though they never should have broken in the first place.) Bold and italic text, yay (though now with stupid and obtrusive ads.) And now it's constantly slow to load, particularly slow to switch between chats and load history, freezes or crashes, and looks like garbage. I'm just wondering before I go back to the old version, why this would be considered 'new' and 'updated.'
Also, nice of the site to lose this post after I had to log in prior to posting it. You know, most modern and not broken websites with a message board continue on to post the message after prompting you to log in. Sites that aren't crap, that is. Just saying~

Coming here to rant.
I'm having all the same problems you are. It's been MONTHS since the update and they still haven't fixed any of the problems you mentioned. (I just updated. I reverted back to the old version until I got tired of messages pestering me to update) The window is slow to open after being minimized. It freezes for several seconds whenever I switch between chats. It takes forever to load messages. And more.
I can understand them sticking with the ugly interface and all that. But why can't they fix the bugs?

My macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help

my macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help

Hi..
Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
Starting up in Safe Mode deletes system caches that can help also. Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient. Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
And disabling the resume feature can help.
Open System Preferences > General. Deselect: Reopen windows when quitting and re-opening apps

Laggy and Slow Performance

We are an architectural company, and we use photoshop to create masterplanning, arhitectural, landscape plans. So keep in mind that theres a bunch of layers with drop shadow, textures, bevel & emboss etc in it.
We recently upgraded to CS6, our PC's are installed with Windows 7 64-bit, 16 Gb or RAM, 1 Gb NVIDIA Quadro 2000D Graphics cards.
As Graphics Support, I make sure that updates, fixes are installed and all that stuff. But still, we experience some laggy and slow performance from Photoshop. The file is 660 MB, and is set to 150 Resolution. Takes a while to open, I can understand that it might be reading all those details, but once opened you wont get a realtime response from Photoshop. This happend before but was able to fix with the update that Adobe had released.
With our PC build, I cant find any reason why would still we get this kind of performance.
Please let me know if you have some solution to this.
Thanks.

CUDA is (and always will be) NVIDIA Proprietary.
Apple has made a strong commitment to OpenCL (not to be confused with OpenGL) to harness the power of every manufacturer's GPU. OpenCL will work with NVIDIA/CUDA or AMD cards.
Adobe has committed to OpenCL for the newest versions of their Premiere PRO CC software.
http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/06/adobe-premiere-pro-cc-and-gpu-support .html
In my opinion it is only a matter of time before most production software supports OpenCL.
Gaming, on the other hand, may not feel that same pressure. Those guys tend to do what they want.
Any thoughts on how dramatically a second display would affect performance?
A second display does not seem to affect these cards in any sort of perceptible way.

Firefox has a delayed response time and is laggy and slow. It has a delayed response time.

I typically have 3-4 windows open (use a compaq laptop and windows 7) and there is a "freeze" before firefox responds and it's laggy and slow.

Have you disabled hardware acceleration?
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Xperia z gone really laggy and slow suddenly

Hi, ive been using my xperia z with kitkat for a while now and suddenly its become very slow and laggy. Even after complete reset twice, its still the same. As im typing this on the xperia z. The letters come on screen a second after i type. Thia happens in every app i use. Scrolling gone laggy as well.
Another thing i noticed is when i watch a youtube video which has been embedded in artical for example some articles on feedly. Video has gone laggy there as well, i have to put it to full screen for it to play smoothly. It was perfectly fine before.
In conclusion, tbe whole phone has gone slow and laggy and even a factory reset doesnt fix it. What cN i do?

Hello, I'm having the same problem. It's laggy, and booting takes a while, when my phone has booted it gives a black screen for 2 mins. or something like that, when I boot to safe mode I still have the problems, it's a little less than when not booting to safe mode but it's still slow and laggy even though I just did a clean install using Flashtool and XperiFirm. EDIT: I did a clean install using XperiFirm and Flashtool a couple of weeks ago, everything was fine, until last night. From one moment to another my phone was laggy, slow, and the apps crashed and took hours to open, if they did. Tried the same fresh install this morning, it's a little less laggy, but it's still laggy with the factory set apps. Before I did the fresh install I had my phone charged to 100% of battery, 6 hours later, the battery was at 37% even though I haven't used it at all.

MacBook Air is laggy and the fan is out of control

My MacBook Air 2013 is laggy and the fan is out of control. The fan is out of control even when I start my macbook up. I don't know if it has something to do with Yosemite or something else. I have tried SMC restarting, and nothing has changed. I would really love to hear if anyone else is having this problem, and I would love to hear if any of you have any tips. Also I checked if anything is using up my CPU a bunch, and nothing is out of the ordinary.

The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
Throttling
When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or low voltage readings from the battery of a MacBook, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
☞ high ambient temperature
☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That behavior may be normal for some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
Installed software
User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
External display
Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

MB Pro 2011 laggy and choppy!!!

I own a barrely 1 year old Macbook Pro and I´m starting to notice some lagging on it.
First I noticed Safari crashing every now and then when i open a new tab, then Safari started getting slow and using a lot of memory.
What I just recently noticed was when I do the "three finger swipe" to see all my widows - it´s not "zooming out" very smooth, instead it is laggy and choppy!!
Must say it´s very annoying and it might seem as it is a minor issue, but my Pro is not even a year old and it shouldn´t be doing that in the first place.
But also, I see it as there must be a bigger underlaying issue???
So, I decided to do a recovery and re-install Lion, took a few hours and it didn´t change anything. At least not the lagging when swiping three fingers, Safari hasn´t crashed yet, but it´s only been an hour since I recovered tho.
What could be the problem?!

Many have suggested that some choppy playback issues (for in-browser playback) are related to the Adobe Flash plugin.
Adobe has released a new version of the Flash plugin this week, which may perform better (although I can't confirm that the problem has gone away completely).
Here are some steps to follow to cleanly update your Flash:
1) Download the Flash plugin un-installer from Abobe, available at: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
2) Close all browsers on your machine and run the Abobe Flash plugin un-installer you downloaded for your platform.
3) Open your browser and reinstall the Adobe Flash plugin (v.10.0.42.34 or greater), available from Adobe at: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
4) After the installation, close and re-open your browser, then try playing back some Flash video at YouTube or wherever...
Hopefully this works. Good luck.

All Adobe apps very slow and sluggish on my rMBP late 201

Hello,
I'm using Adobe for a few years now.
Since october last year i purchased Adobe CC and bought myself a beautiful retina Macbook Pro 15" late 2014 with the nVidia gt750m 2GB.
I use Photoshop, Indesign and Photoshop the most. And what ever i do. I run into slow performance and slugginess. It's laggy even on an empty document. Its really breaking my patience as it slows me down in my school projects. What can I/we do to fix it?
I really need this. I switched from windows to Apple for the better workflow and performance, but i keep asking myself if it was a smart decision.. Not that i am thinking of buying a windows again lol. But i need to get this fixed. I don't think a simple barely filled artboard should be a problem for a 2500$ macbook....
I hope we can fix this or at least better the performance. Any little degree of improvement would help a lot!
Kind regards,
Gino

Adobe knows, photo1257. Chris Cox is no ordinary poster. He's a top Adobe engineer who's been writing Photoshop code since the last millennium./
Apple typically doesn't get a major release right until around the dot four release. Yosemite has a bit of a long way to go before it's at 10.10.4 or 10.10.5 update—or they may decide to leave it to OS X 10.11.x. You pay the price of being an early adopter.
As far as for information, copy and paste the entire System info—minus your serial number—from the Help menu. Help > System Info.

if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
