Another Yosemite speed issue

This is yet another Yosemite speed issue. I've done some reading around and read the FileVault can cause an issues, I took a look and I've always have FileVault disabled. I installed EtreCheck and the results came up with a lot of RED and "FAILED". Unfortunately, I have no clue how to being to read this and was hoping someone could shed some light onto this for me.
Here are my results: (Just trying to right-click and paste this took almost a minute)
Problem description:
Installed OS X Yosemite and now Macbook runs extremely slow. I have had FileVault disabled the entire time.
EtreCheck version: 2.0.11 (98)

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

Apologies, another slow speed issue...

Hi guys, had a few issues recently, used the call centre, and had a engineer visit, when he left i was getting around 3MBps, i thought my issues had been rectified, but there seems to be a constant de-tuning of my speed (option 1 -up2 20mb) I realise that im quite far from the exchange (3km + 15 000 users) but a usable speed just to view web pages and the occasional vid would be nice, the below results are at peak times so...........
Any answers apreciated (in simple terms)

Yosemite speed issue

After upgrading to Yosemite, my iMac got so slow, and it reminded me when I worked with Windows Vista....! The booting time issue, iTune crashes a lot, cpu works on the background more than usual! system response time isn't acceptable!... . If Apple tries to solve the Yosemite problems with fixing patches, it can be one of the best OS released! If not, I have to downgrade my system to the Maverick! because right now working with Yosemite is so tiring, and it's taken much more time for doing my projects comparing to the previous OS!

Sounds like a third party software incompatibility.

Another broadband speed issue- please help

My employer is a bb customer who uses this connection and also she is able to access email from her mobile when abroad, although i should think that this will have no effect on the download speed achieved on the home connection.
I have been asked by her to investigate the reason why the connection speed to a single pc at home is inexorably slow, it is almost akin to using the old dial up system.
I have carried out a number of speedtests using the BT speedtester, the result being the lowest download speed achieved at 79kbps and the highest speed achieved of 102kbps.
There are no other pc's connected to the line, i have changed the asdl filter to no avail, so i would be grateful to anyone who can offer any help or a solution.
regards
cla

Yet another Yosemite install issue

So, I'm trying to upgrade from 10.9.5 on a 27" Mid 2010 iMac. I have downloaded the installer and everything seems to work fine. Until I actually start installing it. During 'Preparing to install" the load bar gets to 'one second left' and just stalls. Over and over again. Under different users. Yep, I've reset the PRAM, repaired permissions and such. Still not working. Any idea?

http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?language=en&act=detail&tbcate=22&id=2543
I use the above Cooler Master PSU, zero issues. Has 4 pci-e connectors, so it's ready for quad sli if I ever want to go that route with my P6n Diamond. Has lots of different connection options, highly rated PSU. Not all Cooler Master PSUs underperform, just have to know what you're buying. The above supply also has 2 8 pin connectors so for instance when my GTX 295 arrives I'll have no trouble (card uses 6/8 pin). Reviews also can be helpful.

G DRIVE won't mount! is Yosemite the issue?

Hi all. So I'm trying to mount my 2TB thunderbolt g drive on my iMac 5k (OS X Yosemite), and it just won't mount. It doesn't even show up in disk utility.
I know the drive probably is not the issue, because I tried it out on my macbook pro (OS X Mavericks), and it mounted instantly. Is Yosemite the issue with this? Has anyone else run into these problems??

Do you have another Thunderbolt drive that you can use (or borrow) to make sure the Thunderbolt port on your iMac 5K works?

More Yosemite memory issues

Whoa. What is happening here? I've been monitoring the Activity Monitor this
last week, and this evening the memory values seem to be going crazy (see screenshot).
What is backupd and why is it using 51 GB of memory? And why is kernel_task suddenly over 9 GB?
I can feel my MacBook Pro retina late 2013 13" with 16 GB of RAM slowing down, and the "memory pressure" is way up.
I hate having to restart because I have so much work open, but I guess I have no choice.
Any idea what might be happening?
doug

Yes, it must have been a memory issue with Time Machine. I see the last backup was some 9 hours ago, so I guess it has been sitting there twiddling its thumbs since then, eating away at memory.
I restarted. Fortunately it only takes a minute with the SSD drives. All the same apps and windows are open as before, but as you can see in the screenshot, memory is back to normal.
Plus there is no more input lag. Everything is fast again.
It must be a memory leak or something in Time Machine I imagine.
After restarting and forcing Time Machine to "backup now" it finished the backup successfully very quickly. And while backing up it was way down in the list, using only 25 MB of memory.
I think in this case there is no doubt it's another Yosemite memory bug of some kind.

VPN Speed Issue

Hi all,
I am having a VPN speed issue. When I am using the internet and not connected to the VPN, I experience speeds of 25mbps/25, which is what my contract with Verizon calls for. When I connect to the VPN with my laptop, speeds drop to about 3/2 mbps. (I am connected via Ethernet hardwire not wireless)
I ran Ethernet wire to the Verizon box and then had Verizon activate. Unfortunately this did not solve my problem. Internet is fine until I connect to the VPN.
I also was able to conduct a test: I connected wireless to an open local network while in the office and then to my work server via the VPN with no noticeable speed issues. This leads me to believe the issue lies with the Actiontec router issued from Verizon?
I only work remotely 1x per week so have been hobbling along with this problem for the past 3 months since our switch from Comcast. (Speed was fine with Comcast ) It is painful as it causes a 5-10 second lag for each click when navigating folders on the remote server. This means it can take me 5 minutes to pull down one PDF file.
Is there a suggested solution for this - should I buy another router?
thanks,
Steve

No, usually, you dont have to wait. You do have to log into the router and go in and release the IP, but most of the time this is all you have to do.
Once in a while it wont release properly, in which case you do have to wait a couple of hours. But most of the time it will release just fine.

2 problems with EA6300 both speed issue's

I got my EA6300 for a while now, overall for what it is used its doing ok.
Though recently i had to add a tv box to my network.
Connecting it to the router would not work, since it did not get a IP.
So i was forced to put a switch before the router.
So the network cable with the internet signal on it is first connected to the switch to which the tv box is also connected.
Then a cable supplying internet goes to the router, and another cable which is connected to my desktop pc.
Both router and switch are all gigabit ports, so that is one thing to rule out.
The PC is connected to the switch because if i connect it to the router then speed seems to be capped at 100mbit, while it should be capped at 1000mbit with the gigabit ports.
The PC network is gigabit also, and with a 100mbit cap i cap my internet also since it is faster then that.
So that is why i had to connect the PC to the switch.
Could adding a 4 port gigabit switch make the router cap the amount of speed it lets through?
Because this seems to have started when i added the switch, before that everything was fine.
Then problem 2.
To the router i got a external 2TB hard disk connected.
For whatever reason i cannot get any faster transfer rate then 2mb/s when moving files from desktop to the HD.
Most times it is just barely getting 1mb.
This is over the regular windows network, maybe that is the main issue?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I managed to fix the speed issue from the router to the PC.
Though still unsure why wired the transfer rate is so slow.
From the drive to the desktop i get about 18mb/s which isn't to bad.
But from the PC to the drive its now getting just below 10mb/s.
Check if the slow wired transfer speed happens on all wired devices in the network. Upgrade the firmware of the router as well.

Speed Issues

Greetings and Salutations,
I'm having speed issues with my Adobe AIR application. From what I've read on the web, AIR is supposed to be fast at drawing graphics. I am writing an application which has multiple screens. On one of the screens I have a tab (SuperNavigator) which has a canvas on it. That canvas has a series of other canvases (built with a repeater) that have graphics in them. I am having speed issues when I have more than 50 of these children canvases. I've tried running it without the graphics (code below is without the graphics) to see how it performs. When I have 954 of these canvases being drawn it takes about 2.5 minutes to draw. This is unacceptable and I'm wondering if this is something I've induced or if AIR was never meant to handle such a large amount of canvases (actually this isn't a large amount, in a real world environment there could be a lot more). I've included relevant clips from the code. There are a couple empty boxes that in the real application will hold graphics.
The class withing the Tab Navigator is a canvas.
In the action Script (the setter line takes 2.5 minutes to get past) (it's binding to the repeater that seems to be my problem).

I would appreciate any thoughts or feedback you could provide.

The Canvas is a very heavy object that has lots of overhead. Even worse is the VBox object that is in there multiple times.
What exactally are you trying to accomplish? Just looking over the code, it seems that the same could be done directly with the Graphics API, at a much faster rate.
For each of the VBoxes and Canvases you have, the entire size of each child and parent need to be re-evalulated each time you add or change something. This is a HUGE overhead, and probably why the app is running so slow. You may need to convert this app to use simpler objects (UIComponent or something lower-level like that) to get any speed.
Are you using Flex Bulder? Take a look at the app while the Profiler is running to see what I'm talking about.

Speed Issues Fixed In 9.1.2

Lost all my thumbnails updating to iPhoto 9.1.2 but rebuilding the thumbnail database solved the problem. Best of all, the speed issues are finally gone in iPhoto 9.1.2. Opening the application is way faster again (2 seconds as opposed to 12 seconds or more). Scrolling is way faster again. Can't believe it took this long for Apple to fix this mess. Nevertheless, iPhoto '11 feels like iPhoto '09 once again. Thanks Apple.

Iteration Speed issue when Indexing 3D array wried to a while-loop

Brief Description of my Program:
I am working on the real-time signal generation by using LabView and DAQmx (PCI-6110 card). My vi reads the big data file (typically 8MB txt file containing about 400,000 samples (complex double precision). Then, the signal is pre-processed and I end up with a huge 3D array to feed while-loop (typically 3D array dimension is N x 7 x M where N & M >> 7). Inside the loop, that 3D array is indexed and processed before the results are written to the DAQmx outputs. I have a speed issue when indexing the large 3D array (i.e, 3D array having a large sub-array size). My while-loop could not run fast enough to top-up the DAQmx AO buffer (at the output rate of 96kHz). It could run faster only if I use smaller 3D array (i.e, smaller-sized sub-arrays). I do not quite understand why the size of 3D sub-array affects the rate of looping although I am indexing same sub-array size at each iteration. I really appreciate your comments, advices and helps.
I include my 3D array format as a picture below.
Question on LabView:
How does indexing an 3D array which wires to the while-loop affect the speed of the loop iteration? I found that large dimension of sub-arrays in the 3D array slows down the iteration speed by comparing to indexing the same size of sub-array from smaller-sized sub-arrays of the 3D array to perform signal processing inside the while-loop. Why? Is there any other way of designing LabView Program to improve speed of iteration?
attachment:

Thank you all for your prompt replies and your interests. I am sorry about my attachment. But, I have now attached a jpg format image file as you suggested.
I had read the few papers on large data handling such as "LabVIEW Performance and Memory Management". Thus, I had already tried to avoid making unnecessary copies of data and growing arrays in my while-loop. I am not an expert on LabView, so I am not sure if the issues I have are just LabView fundamental limitations or there are any other ways to improve the iteration speed without reducing the input file size and DAQ output rate.
As you request, I also attach my top-level vi showing essential sections such as while-loop and its indexing. The attached file is as an image jpg format because the actual vi including Sub-VIs are as big as 3MB in total. I hope my attachment would be useful for anyone who would like to reply my question. If anyone would like to see my whole vi & llb files, I would be interesting to send it to you by an e-mail privately and thus please provide your e-mail address.
The dimension of my 3D array is N x 7 x M (Page x Row x Column), where N represents number of pages in 3D array, and M represents the size of 1D array. The file I am currently using forms 3D array of N = 28, & M = 10,731. Refering to the top-level vi picture I attached, my while-loop indexes each page per iteration and wrap-around. The sub-VI called "channel" inside the while-loop will further index its input (2D array) into seven of 1D arrays for other signal processsing. The output from that "channel" sub-VI is the superposition of those seven arrays. I hope my explaination is clear.

Home Hub 3 Speed Issue

Some 6 weeks ago I had an issue with losing my internet connection completly, and eventually after a long session with the help desk I magaged to reconnect using the direct port on the main phone socket. However since then I have had a speed issue and Ive been only getting speeds in the order of 2.3Mb.
However running the BT speed test tells me that the connection to my Home Hub 3 is running at 8.13Mb, but the connection to my computer is running at 2.18Mb.
I have tried every thing I can think of. Followed all the advice to improve the connection but nothing works. Reseting the Home Hub, reseting the factory defaults. I've closed down every program running in the background, disconnected the rest of the hardwired network, fitted a new shorter cat 6 cable. All to no avail. The speed still stays firmly at 2.18 to 2.15. down and 0.37 up.
Could their be a fault with my Home Hub?
Thaks for any advice.
Roy

Windows 7 64bit speed issues

Hi,
Our company have been purchasing iMacs for the past 4-5 years and installing Windows XP without any problems. Last year we started installing Windows 7 64 bit onto, the then current, leopard model without any issues.
We have recently purchased a whole batch of i5 iMacs with lion installed. I have installed Windows 7 64 bit without any problems but have started noticing huge slowdown with what seems to be hard drive access o every single machine. Even a single one we purchased when they first came out.
Using Perfmon I cant see any stress on the CPU, GFX card or RAM but there seems to be something odd with the hard drive access. I have stripped Windows 7 down to its bare minimum services removing Aero, themes, and all non essential services but still the speed issues occur.
I have messed around with the pagefile size, indexing, etc, but nothing is having any impact.
For example, when I save a simple spreadsheet the saving window appears in Windows 7 with the spinning circle for around 30 seconds. This is a tiny file, why is it taking so long. Its virtually instant if done on a Windows XP bootcamp machine or even in Windows 7 on an older Leopard iMac.
There really isnt a great deal regarding this problem oin the internet but it has occurred on all the new i5 Lion iMacs we have.
Does anyone have any other suggestions (serious ones ) that I could try?
I am currently installing the 32 bit version to see if it is a driver issue.
Cheers

isn't apple now using propritary drive firmware in 2011 imac?
I suspect 30 sec is drive delay spinup and is frequently happens with green drives, I have some and do this. swap for WD black or something.

Facing speed issue in my iphone 4, 16gb

Hi Guys
I am facing speed issue in my iphone 4, 16gb. may after updating ios 7, currenly i am using 7.0.4 update.
please help me if anyone have soltion.
Regards
Parveen

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
The iPhone4 runs iOS7 without any issues or performance problems.
Apple does not provide a method to downgrade the iOS on any iDevice. Discussion of such matters in these forums is against the terms of use.
