A few programs run slowly on my G4

Hi,
I have a Power Mac G4 Gigabit Ethernet with 704MB RAM dual 500MHz G4 processors and 16MB VRAM (ATI RAGE graphics card) and Mac OS X's built in Chess program and some other programs (especially iTunes while browsing in CoverFlow but other view modes are also slow) run alittle slowly on it. Most things on this computer are very fast (VERY fast booting, for example). Why is this happening? How do I fix it?
Thanks

Yes, you can run upto 2GB of Ram. I have extra Apple Ram (two brand new 512's that I am no longer using and you are welcome to them if you wish. I have bo use for them and hate to see them go to waste. If you would like them, post again and I'll give you my address.

Why do some old Mac programs run slowly in Classic mode?

I successfully installed OS 9 Classic Mode on an eMac. At first, some of my old programs (Thinkin' Things, Millie's Math House, both edmark) ran fine, but as time went on they started jerking and freezing as they ran. I re-started and it continued to do the same thing. Any ideas on why these programs run slowly like this?

I gathered the info you suggested in previous message, but I was wondering if you could help me interpret it.
Here's what I got:
In Activity Monitor; System Memory; Page ins/outs = 12277/0.
Memory is listed as 1.024 MB, with 822.11 MB free.
I looked under CPU tab in Activity Monitor and did not exactly now what I was looking for. What should I do with the CPU #'s?
I opened Console in Utilities & there were any clues or repeating messages.
The 40 MB hard drive has 9 MB free.
I ran the 9.2 CD-based educ. software again. Some does not boot up. Some run fine. Others are choppy at times.
Anyway, does this info suggest anything to you. I wonder if it's a compatability issue between System 10.4.11, Classic Mode and the Power PC chip? Was this common with Classic Mode?
I thank you so much in adavance dor any suggestions on how to solve this problem.

Program running slowly

I'm running an iMac with maximized RAM and the latest OS. Past couple of days, Lightroom 4 has been running slowly. The interface with the Nik software plugins especially. I optimized the system with CleanMyMac software and optimized the disk permissions. I keep my photo files on an external Drobo system, which has been optimized. Anybody have any clues?
thanks

Hi! Classic programs running slowly in Panther?

Hi! I am very happy with OS X generally - have been a Mac user since 1993 - but I do have a question I hope someone can help me with.
Here it is: if I upgrade from Jaguar to Panther, will I lose performance in classic? I have an iMac g3 SE 700 at home, at here at work we have two eMacs (1.25 gigahertz). My computer is dual bootable and has 10.2.8 installed; the computers at work have OS 10.3 and are not dual bootable. My classic programs on my little iMac are very fast - not so with the classic programs at work. They all run very slowly, even though the machines themselves are much faster.
I would like to upgrade to Panther (probably the latest system my iMac can run reliably) in order to have the best possible internet applications. I've also heard that Panther runs more quickly and reliably than Jaguar on older machines like mine (though I haven't had a single problem with Jaguar). So I'm considering purchasing a bootable DVD of Panther, but am a little concerned that my classic applications will be affected if I do install it. Is this a common problem? If not, I will certainly get the DVD.
TIA!

Hi maryj59!
"...So I'm considering purchasing a bootable DVD of Panther..."
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, AppleRescue, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
If your iMac meets the Panther System Requirements, and you upgrade, you may actually notice an improvement in the performance of Classic.
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
Additional Panther Install & Upgrade Tips
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Tiger is also still available for purchase, at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
Download the Media Exchange Program Order Form Here. Note that the date on that form is March 19, 2007, but the program was extended to reflect Orders must be mailed by June 22, 2007.
I suggest that if you choose that route, call Apple to ensure that is is still available.
AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD.

Win 7 pro 100% cpu with only a few programs running

I have a 4.2 rating with a amd athlon 64 3400+ running at 2.41ghz, 2.5 gig ram in 32bit windows 7 pro. My motherboard doesn't have windows 7 drivers which may contribute to the issue. Asus k8N so I have no illusions that this computer should be lightning quick but it is very difficult to keep my patience due to the high cpu constantly. I run about the same as I did in XP and I didn't have nearly the high cpu usage. Outside of antivirus (AVG free), logmein, creative camtray, and tversity running all the time. If I then open Outlook 2007, Firefox more then one tab and itunes, my cpu is at 100%, it's still usable for a definite slow down. I've set the visual effects to best performance and that really hasn't made a difference. What suggestions can you offer other then stopping logmein, the camtray, and tversity all of which are not using hardly any cpu. It's constantly flipping between firefox and itunes primarily.

Hi Cougar78,
I would like to confirm what process uses the high CPU usage you find with Task Manager?
You may update the BIOS and the hardware drivers first to check the issue.
If it does not work, I also would like to suggest you test the issue in Safe Mode and Clean Boot.
What are the results in both modes?

Qosmio G20-156 running slowly after system restore

please help since my son crashed my pc and i restored it with the cd that came with the machine im having problems with screensaver running slowly and some programs running slowly like nero vision which was fine before. i tried all the usual stuff like lowering graphics acceleration but no joy please help
e-mail me at [email protected]
my machine is a qosmio g20-156 pqg21e

Hi
The screensaver is running slowly??? I dont know what you mean but possibly some pictures or anything moves slowly. So I dont think that this has something to do with the hardware but more with the screensaver settings as suggested above.
The Qosmio is a very powerful notebook and a application such screensaver cannot be a problem.
But Silas gives you a very nice advice. Check the background processes and disable not necessary applications which starts at the beginning

My Mac is running slowly and having some glitches in opening programs. How can I clean upspace?

My Mac is running slowly and having some gliches when opening programs. How can I clean up the disk to make it more efficient?

learn how to use Recovery Mode
Don't do anything until you can restore and have repaired the disk drive.
Post should get moved to either ML (10.8,.4) or iMac forum
Swap out the hdd for an SSD : )
Don't do anything to clean it up unless you don't know how to first remove browser history from within the programs; low on disk space (I consider more than even the 15% minimum, more like 3--40%)
And do you have page outs? more than enough RAM? what actually leads you to ask? Programs aren't opening properly?
Sometimes it is easier to take the long road: just reinstall and restore.

Macbook pro runs slowly even with tons of free memory??

Hi,
I've seriously tried to follow everyone's advice on how to keep your Macbook running efficiently, even so I have serious problems with it. For one thing, Microsoft Office programs run more slowly on my Macbook Pro than they would on a PC from 1995. If I open Word or Excel, it takes at least 6 minutes to load, and then functions ok (most of the time) but if I try to save a file, graphics wig out and typing the name of the file, it's like each letter is processed 3 seconds at a time after taking a whole minute to understand what I'm even typing in the first place. I use Google Chrome (no, safari doesn't run any faster) and I sometimes have issues with that. Finder also! It takes so long to click around my folders because my computer responds so slowly. It also sometimes wigs out when I try to jump between desktop screens. And actually even the mouse cursor decides not to respond for a few seconds.
I have 411 GB (out of 500) of free memory. I don't run multiple apps at once--usually I will run Chrome and Word, and then if I absolutely must, also Excel or Powerpoint, but I really try to use at most 3 at a time, and then I still have these severe problems. Sometimes I only have Word open and I still have these problems. My desktop is not cluttered; I clean it out regularly so I have like 5 files on there, pretty much all screenshots. My downloads folder does not have a billion files in it; it has accumulated some but I do make an effort to clean it regularly so there really isn't much. I don't have tons of music or movies or pictures or anything on my computer, and I also clean out my deleted files in the trash regularly.
That being said, I'm not an expert on computer maintenance (because I always seem to have these issues), so maybe there are other things I haven't tried that people could recommend? I'm pretty sure that my RAM or CPU (I don't know the difference because I don't know much about computers) are being overexhausted, because sometimes I can actually hear the fan going off because my Mac is trying hard to process stuff (this happened 5 minutes ago when I had nothing but Chrome opened but I restarted and now it's quiet again). But I don't know how to check RAM or CPU usage on my Mac? And since I don't run that many apps anyway I don't know how to resolve this problem.
Is there anything else I can try? Some other folders I should clean out? If so, can you please explain where to find these folders on OS X Yosemite? Because I used to be a person, but I bought this Macbook Pro a year ago and I still have trouble navigating. Or if you think I should take this into the apple store and have it looked at, please let me know.
Thanks in advance. \

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

A sript in the movie is causing Flash player to run slowly....

Hello, It seems as if every time that I play a game on the MSN website i get the floowing mesage and a few minutes playing, "a script in the movie is causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly. if it continues to run your computer may become unresponsive". My os is Windows XP and I use Firefox as my browser. In the list of my current programs I have Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player 12 plug-in. Is there any way for me to repair the problem? I'm new to computer's and if anyone does answer my question pleae keep that in mind. Thanks

im unsure what you mean, i have no idea about swf files, when this has happen i have had my browser open ( explorer) with several sites or even just one,can u give me more infrmation and is there a way to fix this problem, its impossible to do anything without waiting forever for the spinning wheel to stop and then freezing, which i have to restart my computer, most times, i have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, with no luck.
thanks again

My computer is running slowly and slowly

my computer is running slowly and slowly and the sound of fan becomes louder and louder .I suspect my computer get infected by virus

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

How to stop programs running in backroune, how to stop programs running in backround

My mac book pro is running slowly. I was told it was because of programs running in backround. How do I stop them.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

I would like to uninstall or otherwise safely remove any applications that make my MB Pro run slowly.

I would like to uninstall or otherwise safely remove any applications that make my MB Pro run slowly. I will have to keep a few apps such as CrossWeb and Veraport due to having to use secure banking and government websites in Korea. I also need the LogMeIn app to access a server in the USA, but I realise that some people recommend getting rid of it.
I tried but apparently have been unsuccessful in removing a McAfee VirusScan application completely. I can still see some files in the HD Library. Any ideas here on how to safely uninstall/remove?
Also any suggestions on how to get rid of my incompatible virtualbox? I think it's 4.0.4.
Also, if you see anything else I should uninstall/remove from the EtreCheck below, by all means please make suggestions.
Thanks so much for your help, suggestions, and advice!

You have so much junk, and I doubt that you know how to uninstall it.
It's up to you what you do, I know what I would do (but then I wouldn't stuff my Mac with junk in the first place)
Good luck.

I keep geting this message when trying to udate to Itunes 10.5.1 "There is a problem with the Windows Installer package. A program run as part odf the setup did not finish as expected . Contact your support prersonel or package vender"

I keep getting this message when trying to upgrade to Itunes 10.5.1
Driving me nuts trying to upgrade. What can I do to correct this?

Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that.

My mac is slow, the movies run slowly, the kernel_task consumes 463,3 MB of memory, how can I fix this?

The problem started a few weeks ago with a small decrease in speed, and the videos now crash while the sound remains normal. When I open the Finder or any file it seems that I'm opening the windows with the hourglass spinning. I've already cleaned temporary, removed everything that was saved on the table, I made up for the mountain lion. I have a Mac 27-inch, 3.06 GHz processor Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB, Software OS X 10.8. With space on the HD.
