A lot of us have iBooks that are slowing down.

What iBook do you have? Memory? CPU usage? OS? Etc.
I purchased my iBook in January of this year. 1.42, 14", 512 memory.
It ran so fast. Faster than my 1.25 Power PC G4 at work! I installed Tiger a few month or so ago and now it's running much slower than it did. I've reinstalled the OS, removed CS2 and Dreamweaver (since they were the last installed), verified and repaired disks.
After updating to 10.4,2, system profiler now says "CPU Speed 1.33" even though it is 1.42. ???
CPU
Photoshop has 32.80, Safari has 3.5, Itunes 1.9
147mb of inactive memory.
I have 44.05g free on a 80g hard drive.
Only thing connected is a bluetooth mouse.
I'm going back to the Genius Bar tomorrow. I'm extremely upset that my iBook is running so slow.

If you purchased your ibook in January your CPU speed is in fact 1.33ghz. The latest speed bumps from 1.33ghz to 1.42ghz on the 14" happened in July of 2005. Try repairing disk permissions and optimizing the disk to see if that helps. (Run a program like Onyx, Cocktail, or MacJanitor to do this or do it manually) Another user went as far as purchasing DiskWarrior (which is not a bad idea) to repair and optimize his HD and found that the 'peppiness' returned.
With 512mb of ram you will probably notice a larger slow down than on a machine with 1g. 512mb is the minimum amount of ram that is recommended for running OSX.

There are songs that I have purchased that are not showing up in my iTunes or in my cloud.

I purchased these songs a couple years back maybe in like 2010 maybe even before that. When I brought a new iPhone and Mac I assumed all of my music would be in my iCloud but there are multiple sons that I have purchased that are not there. When I look on the ITunes Store it will say that they have been purchased but doesn't give me then download option. What should I do?

also these do not even show up in the "purchased" folder in my library. How do i resolve this problem?

Purchased content MAY be available for redownload - Music for sure. I think books are NOT available for redownload (not sure).
Best practice is to keep the content on a desktop computer to be able to resync when necessary (or use a cloud service like Drop Box).

HT201272 I have songs that are waiting to be downloaded but never download

I have songs that are sitting in the purchased section of my itunes that say waiting to be downloaded , but they never download.

Try to delete them (swipe left or right and hit the remove button) and then re-download them. If that doesn't work then restart your phone.

Books I have purchased have pages that are duplicated at the end of chapters. It also appears that as a result content has been lost

Have you tried deleting the book and re-downloading it ? If that downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' from your purchase history :http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

I have a Macbook Pro that was slowing down. The HD was nearly full as I do a video work. I removed over 400gb of photos and video and it made no difference. I ran disk inventory x and that says that there is only 60gb on the hard drive but disk utility says there is still 430gb on the HD. How do I remove what DU says is still there.
Thanks

You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.

Songs are slowed down after I save them in Garageband

I am new to recording and macs altogether so bear with me. I am running an MBox 2 as my USB interface with Garageband into a Macbook Pro 2.16GHz. When I record, everything works fine and I'll save it. Then when I open it again and listen to it, the playback is much slower than when I recorded it but in the right key. I'm not sure if I need to reset the tempo or what, but I can't seem to save any song and then reopen it without it being slowed down considerably.
Any thoughts?

I am in the same boat as you, but with a tad bit more experience. Have had an MBP for about 2 months now, MBOX 2, and do a lot of recording with GarageBand.
Something that I have come to understand is that recording software such as Garageband or Pro Tools (which I use occasionally) has to retrieve files that are on the HARD DRIVE in order to play them back, while they are being played back. Therefore, if one did not know that HARD DRIVE speed was important (which I did not), you're a bit out of luck. There are two speeds of hard drives optional on the MBP, one is around 7000 and one is around 5000, unfortunately for me, I bought the 5000, and so playback is sometimes slow, and its frustrating.
Here's what I would suggest. First, export what you have of your song that is slowing down into iTunes and then play it. See if it plays back in iTunes at the speed you recorded it.
If it does... Go to the optimizing garage band performance page and do everything in all steps. Free up any available hard drive space you can (don't delete anything necessary but do what you can)... turn bluetooth off... leave all other applications off. .... All of these steps have helped me out a ton and I am able to mix at the speed I recorded.
If for some reason your problem is different from what I've experienced, lemme know and I'll look into it.
Peace

How do I get rid of the Not Using SoftArtisan File UP notice that is slowing down my uploads to class where I teach?

How do I get rid of the Not Using SoftArtisan File UP notice that is slowing down my uploads to class where I teach? A notice now appears every time I upload an image to class as an attachment that says, Not Using SoftArtisan File UP, and this appears to be slowing down my uploads tremendously. I want to get rid of this. I never used it before and don't need it and don't want it. I just want the uploads to work like they did before this idiotic notice started slowing things down.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Configurator panels(even empty once) are slowing down Photoshop CS6 significantly

After updating java this morning, in some cases Configurator Photoshop CS6 panels(even empty once) are slowing down Photoshop CS6 significantly.
I noticed this when i got complaints about hotkeys not working when custom panels were open, the behavior was similar to holding down the hotkey for temp access to tools
I found a workaround where i made the panels not persistent and therefor they load everytime i expand them (slowing photoshop).
Is there a better workaround? and/or is this issue a known thing?

I Had a problem with Configurator slowing down photoshop and what I found on another thread here worked for me. What I did was to exclude Photoshop from my virus software. Once i did that my issues went away.

How do I get my ibooks that are in my itunes(PC), on to my ipod touch (4th gen)?

I have a my itunes on my pc, all my music and apps sync just fine to my 4th gen ipod touch. But my ibooks that I have purchashed thru my pc itunes account will not sync to my ipod. I have the ibooks app on m ipod, I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong...
Thanks for any insight you may have!

Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. If you enable photo stream on your iPod you should be able to access those photos but older photo stream photos are no longer in iCloud.
Camera roll photos are included in your backup. If they were on your iPod when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them.

Firefox 4 I have programs that are marked enable butalso marked disabled, why

On my Extensions page, I have 5 programs and they are all marked enable on the right side of the page. In the body of the page where the name of the program is, as soon as I enabled 4 of the programs the word disabled appeared in brackets. The 5th program has not been marked disabled because it was a program recommended by Firefox.
On my plugins page I have 12 programs marked enable and every one is also marked disabled in brackets.
I do not understand why this has happened. Must I use only programs that are recommended by Firefox?
To the best of my knowledge I did not have this problem prior to Firefox 4.

Your disabling of Roboform has already caused me more problems and inconvenience than any "improvement" should. I do most of my business on line across many sites using complicated and individual passwords.
Your insistence that it's solely the vendors' problem is quite disingenuous. are you getting as arrogant as Microsoft and Apple? You seem more concerned with your problems than any you caused your supporters. I'm sure your programmers understood what they were doing when these improvements were installed.

HT5137 i have apps that are stuck at waiting?

Since downloading ios 7, and syncing using icloud, i have multiple apps that are stuck in waiting mode.
Any ideas?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
