Anyone else find Leopard slow?

Is it just me or is Leopard so slooow?
I have a dual core MacPro with a gig of ram.
Radeon X1900 video card with 30 and 23 inch cinema displays (I found the firmware update for that and updated it)
World of Warcraft for example is virtually unplayable it is so slow.
Luckily I had a full back up HD that I can boot from in Tiger.
Anyone else think Leopard is slow?
Looking forward to Cheetah

i'd have to agree. EVERYTHING on my macbook pro got slower. whether we're talking about restarting, starting, logging in, opening stuff,...just everything is slow. i dunno what to do.. hopefully there will be some software updates. i think that EventAgent thing should be adressed too. thats person up there^ isnt the first person i've heard talking about that. so yea. just keep your fingers crossed and hope there is some nice software updates coming our way.

  • After upgrade on OS and Safari 7.1 I can no longer do 2 finger scrolling.  Anyone else find this bug in upgrade?

    After upgrade to 10.95 OS and Safari 7.1 I can no longer do 2 finger scrolling.  Anyone else find this bug in upgrade?  If so, ideas on how to fix it?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Does anyone else find the scroll bars too narrow.

    Does anyone else find the scroll bars too narrow?  I have to select them several times.  Otherwise, I love OS X Lion

    We NEED Snow-Leopard Width Scroll Bars ( and Arrows too )
    Correction YOU need. I am glad to see them gone. Forgotten all about them, so please don't speak for everyone.
    So Lion is still Broken… and Mountain Lion does not seem the fix the issue either…
    Lion is not broken, you are simply having a lot of trouble adjusting to it and trying to forget your old habits. Lion is fine. And Mountain Lion not applying the 'fix' you believe is required does not bode well for your future usage and thus reverting to Snow Leopard may be your only hope of regaining these outdated features.

  • Anyone else finding it impossible to get iCloud to work? My software is up to date on my three Apple devices, I'm logged in to my account - and nothing synchs. Any ideas??

    Anyone else finding it impossible to get iCloud to work? My software is up to date, I'm looged in to my account but nothing synchs across my Mac Mini, Mac Air and iphone 4s. I've tried all the trouble shooting solutions without success. Any ideas out there? 

    Hi
    My iCloud works perfectly across my MBA, iPhone 4, iPad Mini etc.  I did find it easier when starting to set things up to start with one item to sync. 
    I started with Reminders and went through all the General settinsg as well as Reimnder specific settings.  Then just parlayed that process into each app I wanted to sync.
    Happy to help out if you want to get started.
    Iphone
    1.  Settings
    2.  Icloud (ensure your apple id is correct)
    3.  Reminders = on
    MBA (connected to the Net through wireless)
    1.  Settings
    2.  Icloud (ensure apple id id corect and the same as on your iphone)
    3.  Calendars and Reminders = On
    Type a new reminder on your MBA...
         -  your iphone should be updated.  My iphone updated in less than 1 sec after I keyed it into my MBA
    Let me know if this works

  • Anyone else finding iCloud to be less than stellar?? It is slow and scrolling through my mail is absolutely painful.

    Hi everyone - I've been an Apple fan for a very long time. Had one of the original iMacs. I have found iCloud to be one of the worst products that Apple has put together and am ready to discontinue the service. Just today I could not even get to my mail from my work PC. Scrolling through email is slow and "sticky" for lack of a better word. Is anyone else experiencing this with iCloud?
    Thanks.
    Liz

    Glad you found a solution on your own! Your predicament sounds like an IP address conflict: your Mac and your iPhone competing for the same IP address in your DHCP lease; your router can satisfy one, or the other, but not both at the same time. Happened to me, and I had to renew the DHCP lease from System Preferences/Network while trying to connect both devices to the Internet at the same time; no more problems since then, but it all depends on the way your router handles simultaneous requests to the Web.

  • Anyone else find the more you use your iPad professionally the more of a pain it becomes?

    I love my iPad2 and my iPhone 4 but lately i've found more uses for my iPad from a professional point of view and have tried to take advantage of this by using it for work.  I'm self employed and i use my ipad and iphone to take photos, formulate quotes/estimates and email them to the clients, display my portfolio and PDF's of brochures......etc.  The thing that winds me up is needing an app to do everything.  It all just seems very messy now.  It didn't bother me when all i was doing was browsing the Web and sending emails but now i'm actually using it properly to do proper things the whole way in which it functions is awfully messy and a bit of a ball ache.
    For example;
    I take a photo with my iphone of a property that requires scaffolding.....i want to transfer it to my ipad so i can edit the photo with some annotations, lines and arrows and then send it via email to the scaffolding company i use.
    This is a majorly long drawn out process.  Take photo with iphone.........enable app on iphone and ipad for file transfer, select transfer via bluetooth, photo sends at a painfully slow rate, find photo in ipad, open in editing app, edit photo, save photo, open photo in email program........etc.  It just takes ages.
    Why are functions such as transferring files and photos between iphone and ipad with the same OS not part of the basic functions of the OS.....why the **** would you want an app for that?  I'd like to be able to pair my devices once and then be able to transfer anything i like by either pushing it from one device to the other or pulling it from one device to the other.  Having to put one device in send mode and the other in receive mode seams a slow and backwards way around of doing things.  File transfer was quicker between devices years ago.
    The ipad is an amazing piece of tech and works really nice but moving files around and actually carrying out productiive work on it is majorly clunky and messy.  Anyone else agree?  Lets hope iOS5 sorts this out.

    Cheers for that. Unfortunately not available yet though. Looks like it might make things easier.  From what i can gather though it will still require 3g or wi-fi connection to sync everything up. I'm assuming that if i take a photo at a clients house and then want to email it immediately to someone from my ipad it wont instantly be available on my ipad?  I'd just like to be able to send photos' between my apple products without needing to do 20 screen taps:)
    Looks like iOS5 might bring us a little closer to a fully functional tablet.

  • Does anyone else find that the new firefox 4 sucks? How do I get back the old one?

    I upgraded to the new firefox 4 and I HATE it... I tried to uninstall it, and lost all my bookmark tabs, and then I tried to install the old firefox but couldn't, it only allows me to use the new one, which is also slowing down my laptop big time! Has this happened to anyone else?

    I've not had any problems with Firefox 4 being slower, but I've never been so disappointed with a program in years. I went back to 3.6.16 and it's much more stable. I'm an attorney and use the Bankruptcy Court websites daily--literally, hourly--and 4 crashes on them repeatedly, will not download mailing matrices, will not print claims registers, or literally do ANYTHING as well as 3.6 did. If a browser won't do that, then it's worthless to me. We HAVE to have stable programs, and everything now in the Federal courts nationwide has to be electronic filing. I've tried all the tricks I know (and I've been a computer user and builder ever since Win 3.1) and nothing saved it. I finally uninstalled 4, did NOT offload my user profiles, and they all picked up again on 3.6.16. I don't plan on going back to 4--ever.

  • Anyone else finding Itunes 8 really unresponsive?

    Ever since installing itunes 8 whenever I click any link in the store I'm left waiting for something to happen, sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes indefinately. I often have to click a link a few times to get anything. Also the tooltip that pops up when you hover the cursor over a link is flickering continuously.
    Anyone else getting this?

    Yes... I am seeing the same thing. The thing you and I have in common that the other guy who responded doesn't is that we are both using Vista (he's on a Mac).
    It is annoying slow. Click on link in the store (like the next page arrow in the Apps store) and nothing happens. Click.... nothing... CLICK!!!!! CLICK!!!!! Finally!
    Frustrating.

  • Anyone else suffering from slow speeds tonight?

    Hi guys,
    Tonight is a weird one, I've never experienced slowdowns as much as this on my 8,128kbps sync.
    Seems I am only getting around 100KB/s speeds tonight and when I took the speedtest earlier, it came back with 643kbps throughput!
    The slowest I usually get is around 340KB/s in peak time. I'm on (until today if it is congested) an uncongested exchange - around 1,500 lines.
    Anyone else getting speed issues tonight?
    Cheers

  • Anyone else find iOS 6 ugly?

    So we all know apple maps is an epic fail, but I've not seen anyone comment on the UI as such. I really don't like the look of the music player anymore, looks very bland all in grey and looks very old hat, like windows mobile 6 or something. Also I don't like the different colour bars and don't like the look of the new phone keypad either.
    Does anyone else feel the same?

    Not only is iOS 6 not as visually stimulating as it used to be, it's also lost out on a lot of functions that were essential to those with an iPhone. For instance, most of us with an iPhone are having to restore our phones to factory settings as the Call Waiting function has been turned off.
    I understand that some people like things and some people don't, but why can't Apple at least give us options?    

  • Anyone else find Google Apps or Gmail stopped working this week?

    I'm using Google Apps for push email on my iPhone, and it's been working just fine...until this week. Not only does it no longer push, but even when I manually refresh/check mail within the iPhone's Mail client, it doesn't work. Meaning it doesn't update the emails AT ALL. I can verify this by logging in through Safari, and seeing that I have all kinds of emails in my inbox that aren't showing on the iPhone. I can read and work with them fine, archive them into folders/labels, and so on. Going back to the iPhone and refreshing, again the list is the same...hours old even.
    This has been going on for three or four days now. Rebooting the iPhone doesn't help. Turning off push and switching to 15 minute interval checks doesn't work. The only thing I can do to get the iPhone to fetch mail correctly is to delete the Google account entirely from the phone, and then set it up all over again. That works for a few minutes, and then iPhone is once again no longer able to received pushed emails or even to fetch a correct set of current emails.
    Anyone else having this problem??
    Dan

    I suppose Google Apps chokes on nested labels/folders. Once I removed all the nests and made a single-level hierarchy, the problem went away consistently and permanently.

  • Anyone else find that Firefox v. 26 is incredibly slow (worse than IE)?

    I have disabled and restarted then re-enabled hardware acceleration, reset Firefox, emptied cache and tried everything I can find or think of to no avail. This just became a problem since I updated to v. 26.0. Have never seen a version respond so poorly.

    Typical answers from mozilla that the problems lie with extensions. I have one extension installed and it is disabled and FF 26 runs at a snails pace. A browser that excelled early on has now been boggled down and is no better than any of the others.

  • Does anyone else find Firefox V.23 extremely slow and laggy vs V.21?

    I was and am curently using V.21 now. I had updated to the latest V.23 and it was absolutely horrible. Normaly, Firefox is the FASTEST of all mobile browsers on my HTC Rezound since the Android 4.0.3 update. But FF 23 has so much lag. The FPS seemed like it had been cut to half speed. The load times on full desktop facebook was ok, but scrolling and zooming speeds were unacceptable. Seemed like a frame limiter was put in place. Script loads were VERY slow. Scrolling felt like it was dragging a ball and chain around... uninstalled and went right back to V.21. oh what a relief that was lol....

    Newest beta is a little better than V.23 , but still quite slow FPS with much screen blur scrolling and zooming. I can see a huge difference in scrolling/zooming speed when coming back to V.21 ...that is V.21 is much faster than V.23 and newest Beta. Newest beta also has similar loading time lag after scrolling like V.23 .Whatever you are using, your handset must have some different kind of CPU instruction set. Maybe its the Adreno GPU that a lot of these browsers dont think to optimise for. See, a lot of other people don't have the same problems I have with a majority of browsers since my Rezound got the ICS 4.0.3 update. I can't use the stock browser, Dolphin or Boat Browser on most websites because they lag and freeze like crazy unusable.... that's why I have stuck with Firefox only. And probably with V.21 for awhile til they get this straightened out.

  • Is anyone else finding the Macbook Air 11 inch slow for programming work?

    I have a 2010 Macbook Air 11 inch, and it noticeably lags when I use tools like Gnu Screen, Tmux, and Vim, especially with vertical splits and during Screen/Tmux window switching.
    Does anyone notice this performance issue?

    Try resetting your system's System Management Controller (SMC) to see if that helps the problem. The SMC is responsible for managing the feedback for the fans to respond to temperature changes.
    See here for how to reset it for your system: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
