After beat mapping Logic is very sluggish and unresponsive

I recorded a track without a click, very rubato. Then I manually played in 1/4 notes on a midi track. I used "Beats from region" on the beat mapping track. After that when the song starts to play, if I click on a track or do just about anything with the computer keyboard I get the beach ball and Logic becomes very sluggish or unresponsive. It I revert back to the previous version of the song, without the beat mapping, there is no problem. I did notice that the rubato tempo was screwing up the beat sync on the tape delay plugin, so I put it in bypass, then removed them.

In any case, personally, I avoid to use automatic function suach as Audio to Midi or auto beat mapping...
I'm an old... ... Old school musician...
when I have a song that requires rubato parts and "rallentando" or "accellerando"...
I write the score as Conductor of myself...
I prepare the song by manually editing tempo changes before start recording...
This way is very good also for musician, amateurs, students...
after editing tempo changes Logic will be your personal orchestral conductor trainer...
and will be able to test skill of performer...
the word "PRO" in Logic is focused to professional musician... including students and amateurs can enjoy a fabulous experience ... it is very similar as the musicians or soloists when they are in a professional production environment.
(this is the OLD SCHOOL way)
just my 2 cents

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
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.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

My MacBook pro is running very slow and unresponsive.

My MacBook pro is running very slow and unresponsive. I have mid 2010 model running on lion. Past few days it looks very unresponsive. Tried to reinstall lion as clean copy. Still no luck. Any help on this is much appreciated !
My model has 4 gb ram.

Things That Can Keep Your Computer From Slowing Down
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

Turning photostream on makes Iphoto very slow and unresponsive.

When i enable Photostream either through the settings or directly from Iphoto it causes Iphoto to become very slow and unresponsive.
When i click on an album to view it takes around 60 seconds for the album to open, when it finally opens all the thumbnails are blurry and scrolling through the album is virtually impossibe.
If i then turn of Photostream everything is fine.
Im using a late 2011 Air with 4gb memory and i have around 132gb of free space on the drive.

jaceylucifer,
I just sorted an issue I had. When checking the photsteam box in iPhot preferences it unchecked straight away.
Method 1 on this link sorted me out in 2 mins. I have advised the senior apple care guy that was trying to sort this out for me. http://helpdeskgeek.com/help-desk/photostream-keeps-turning-off-in-iphoto-fix-it /
Hope it helps.

Beat Mapping Logic 9 Problem

Hi.
I'm having difficulty getting beat mapping to work with Logic 9.1.6.
I have tried to select the notes in my guide sequence but that yellow line all too often refuses to line up with the start of the relevant note. I tried copying all the beat notes to another region to use the Beats from Region facility but got a message saying “Setting this beat would have caused the corresponding tempo value being too high. Try to delete bars.” When I applied the operation some midi had moved (locked and unlocked) and there were some pretty extreme tempo changes – up to 990 bpm in a song that actually ranges in tempo between about 40-120 bpm. I tried turning the guide track into an audio file to use the “Detect” function but it was still wildly inaccurate.
Has anyone got an idea what I may be doing wrong? Is there a setting in the program that needs to be activated before beat mapping will work accurately? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Colin

Hi Cauldblast, to save me a lengthy text explanation, here's everything one should know about Beat Mapping:

Good luck and have a nice day!

Since Mountain Lion install, sometimes Safari becomes very sluggish and sometimes unresponsive, especially when it is doing autocorrect.

I have had Safari crash in one instance. And, other times it is very, very sluggish while typing a post to Facebook. I had Safari become unresponsive this afternoon, and eventually the whole system became unresponsive. I ended up having to do a power down and power up to clear the system.
Anyone got some suggestions? This behavior came about since the 10.8.1 update.

The fact that the Time and Date settings are messed up tells me a totally different battery needs replacing. There are in fact two batteries on every notebook. The one that is a regular charging battery that frequently lasts anywhere from a year and a half to longer. But then there is a battery that controls the system clock known as the PRAM battery. It is this latter battery which also speaks to the firmware of the computer. That's one which often starts losing its charge after 4 years. You are closed to that stage now, and depending on the use of your computer, you might speed its demise. You have to understand how all batteries work on the computers from http://www.apple.com/batteries/ Apple can replace the PRAM battery, and verify your firmware is correctly up to date. By the way, I agree making a clone is preferable to Time Machine, as you can't really boot from a Time Machine backup. Until your PRAM battery is replaced I think you will continue to have problems.

Sluggish and Unresponsive

Is anyone else having problems with the Moto Droid being sluggish? My Droid is extremely slow to respond, if it decides to respond at all. I took it into the store and they removed my antivirus app, which helped it a little bit. But it's still very, very slow.
When I slide the screen to access the keyboard, it delays the home screen from loading up for at least 10-20 seconds, and sometimes I have to remove the battery and restart the phone to get it to show up. It also does this during phone calls. I can't even tell you how many phone calls I've been unable to take because of my Droid's slow response to answering the phone.
I've uninstalled apps that I don't use very much, and I've moved as many as will allow me to my SD card. Nothing seems to help.
I'm frustrated and have been telling everyone that asks about the Droid NOT to get one because they're garbage. Really, really wishing I would've kept my BlackBerry. Guess it serves me right for wanting newer and "better".

I'm having the same problem. I took it into verizon and they tried to see if it was the sd card and removed it and cleared that to see if the apps were pulling things from the card. After that didn't work they did a factory reset on my phone. That seemed to make it faster once they did that. But once I put my apps back on the phone adn have been using it for over a week now, it's slow and sluggish again. I was told that this was all documented in my file and if I took it back with the same issues they would give me a replacement phone. Trying to decide if it's worth getting another phone that was repaired or just keeping my phone and deeling with it till I can get a new one. Would love if they allowed me to get the Droid2 or DroidX and paying the difference.

Touchscreen became very laggy and unresponsive...

Hi Everyone,
I would like to know, if there is anyone out there who has the same problem as mine?
I owned this Ipod Touch since last November 2008, the first generation Ipod Touch in Malaysia. It was such a great ipod, whereby you can online anywhere at anytime via the WiFi hotspots available. The whole point of me buying the ipod is because it is a superb mp3 player with internet enabled ability. Not to mention the flawless and easy to use touchscreen.
After awhile, recently, the ipod touchscreen somehow became very laggy and sometimes unresponsive, especially when i want to browse through mails. I wasn't sure of whether is it because of the amount of mail i had in my ipod which made it became heavy and unresponsive when i tried to browse through emails. But i am sure it is NOT supposed to be like this, right?
I had to press several times and simultaneously pressing the home/ on-off button to make it awakes. Not sure of whether is there any similarity incident happened to any users? kindly share and advise a way to resolve this from happening.
Deleting the mails couldn't resolve this issue as i had tried with no good result. The lagginess is still there...
Thank you.
Regards,

try working through the troubleshooting steps listed here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/troubleshooting/ipodtouch/
this will resolve any (and many) software problems that you may have. if that doesn't fix it, it's almost certainly a hardware issue, which will require a trip to apple to get it looked at.

HT4623 iPhone 4 (2011) very sluggish and battery issues after upgrading to iOS 7

Hi,
I am experiencing crazy sluggishness in my GSM iPhone 4 (2011 model) after recently upgradig to iOS 7.0.2 from 6.1.3. Phone's freezing every few seconds and when it does, you can't do any activitiy, keyboard will not respond, videos will freeze etc.
Top of it, the battery is drying up like nuts. It used to work for more than 24 hrs with same settings earlier, now hardly 7-8 hrs !!! ..... I turned off everything like background-app refresh, wireless, 3G, bunch of other things, infact not even keeping any apps running in background while not using, I immediately kill it as soon as I am done using it.
Am very badly stuck, biggest mistake of my life that I ugpraded to iOS 7
- Is anyone experiencing similar issues ?
- Is there any way I can go back to previous version ... is Apple still signing iOS 6.1.3 ? I don't have shsh blob backup of previous version.
Any thought is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rajiv

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Also try a Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If no joy...
1) Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

System sluggish and unresponsive after 10.6.7 update

I have a 2009 model MacBook Pro and ran the update earlier today with no issues, though when it booted back up the system was very slow to boot and ended up hanging before the dock would load. After hard restarting and trying to bring the system up again, a similar thing happened once applications started to run. It's almost as if the CPU and Memory aren't functioning properly. I'm not really sure what to do. I tried to open Time Machine to attempt to restore to a prior version, but the system won't even allow me to do that.
Can I revert to a prior version or is there a way to reinstall 10.6.7 without brining up that GUI? I need help.

I restored a Time Machine backup that still had 10.6.6 from yesterday, though when it tried to restart after restoring, OS X would hang on the gray screen. I hard restarted and then tried to boot into Safe Mode to the same result. I then booted to the Snow Leopard DVD and ran Disk Utility and verified the disk to find that everything is fine. I then repaired the permissions. After it ran it's course, I attempted to boot into Safe Mode again and was greeted to a hanging gray screen. Just like before the spinning wheel just keeps going and going, but this time the progress bar fills to about 25% and then disappears all together. I'm left with nothing but the Apple and a spinning wheel with no real hope of it completing. Hopefully my early morning Genius Bar appointment can help me.

G4 very sluggish and dock icons disappeared

I have an older G4 with a Sonnet 1.4G card in it. Lately it's been acting up. It was off for a day, and when I booted tonight, all of the aliases in the dock that were not there by default had disappeared. It wouldn't run disk utility or cocktail from the boot disk. Tried running TechTool on it. Same issue. Booted from the OS 10.4 installer and ran disk utility on it, repaired permissions. No disk issues, but a few premissions got repaired. But still no love.
This machine has an Ultra-ATA card in it and a 300Gb Seagate, along with an 80G boot drive. 1.5G RAM. An old UltraSCSI card. A recent Firewire 800/400 card, as the firewire drives attached to it were not mounting properly. In other words, it's been acting more and more squirrely over the past few weeks. Maybe it's just its age. Maybe it's the six 250G Firewire drives.

James, have you checked your battery? I've had two machines suddenly start to act up in odd ways such as; all settings revert to factory defaults, "fountain of youth effect"on date/time (i.e. "1/1/1904"), once I couldn't get it to power up. I found that replacing the 3.6v battery fixed everything.
I'm not familiar with the sluggish symptoms or failure to run DU, but if you can't think of anything else, a $7 repair effort is an easy place to start. (and if it's not the problem, you can probably re-use the battery in a camera).

Cannot forward any attachments I get. Firefox has gotten very sluggish and difficult to rely on.

Firefox has gotten squirrely. I can no longer forward messages that contain a photograph. As soon as I type an address to forward something too, the item disappears from the forwarded email.

Make sure that your security software isn't blocking the images.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

Mac is very slow and unresponsive

after loading mountain lion and a few issues before this my mac pro has become very very slow, starting up and shutting down takes forever and some of the pages I load takes forever to load too, any ideas please could really do with help, I even brought apple extream to boost my brand new router many thanks x

It reads as if you're actually having two problems:
Long delay in starting up and shutting down, and;
long delay in loading web pages.
As to the first - here's a good article to peruse - Why is my computer slow, by ds store (not his real name, I'm assuming). As to the second, you may have a problem with your DNS Servers. If you go to System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS, what DNS Servers are listed?
