Aperture 3 slows down to a crawl

I'm running the trial version on my 2.16Gb iMac with 3Gb of RAM, and plenty of free hard drive space. I've imported only about 100 RAW files and it works well for a while but soon slows down to a crawl and my entire system just comes to a halt.
Any suggestions as to ways of avoiding this?
Thanks
Phil

Same problem with just one photo imported and a retouch on a MBP 13" mid 2009 4Gb...
Thanks

My screen load times have slowed down to a crawl. I have to wait and wait for a page to load. (I know --dial -up) It used to be much faster a month ago before 5.0. Is it FireFox or do I look to Yahoo for the problem? I don't know how to sort it out.

I'm having the same problem. Dreamweaver is supper slow. Uploading and downloads from the server... any server I use two different servers. It times out all the time. Menus are slow too.
I'm on a MAC Pro, 6 gigs of ram no issues with anything else. I have talked to Apple they have checked everything for me. They say it's Dreamweaver. I've noticed the Dreamweaver is talking to the FTP even when I'm not doing anything.
I've tried cleaning out my MAC caches, turning off file check and check out. Still really slow. I've worked with Dreamweaver for 6 years never any issues like this before. 18 seconds to upload a 4 kb file. 11 seconds to download the same file.

MacBook slows down to a crawl when using iSight

Hi!
I have a 2006 MacBook (Core Due 2 GHz), which I have upgraded to Snow Leopard (via Leopard). I am trying to use the built-in camera ("iSight") for video chat, but when I do, the computer slows down to a crawl, and the application that is using the camera takes all CPU.
I've tried with both iChat and Skype, and the result is the same, so it seems to be in the camera drivers and not the applications themselves.
Does anyone have any good ideas on what I can do to alleviate the problem? I have not installed any specific drivers for the camera beyond what comes with Mac OS.

Hello nafmo
Snow Leopard's iChat 5 does require more CPU power than iChat 4 (from Leopard), so you may, in part, be noticing that. The best way to verify that is with your Mac's Activity Monitor utility. For your comparison, my new 2.26GHz Core2Duo MacBook Pro uses slightly more than half of both cores for Snow Leopard iChat video chats.
Here are some other things you can consider:

Downloading Aperture has slowed down photo editing on my iMac. Should I delete iPhoto?

Downloading Aperture has slowed down photo editing on my iMac. Should I delete iPhoto?

So it was only the initial preprocessing after an import of a complete library. If your system drive is nearly full, you should expect performance problems. Try to free at least 20% of your drive.
I would try to keep your iPhoto Application - it is only 1.1 GB and you may need it later; but you can safely delete the iPhoto Library once you are sure, you imported it successfully. iPhoto can do some things Aperture cannot - e.g. greeting cards, calendars. And it is always nice to have a second application for testing purposes, if something should go wrong.
But make a backup copy of the iPhoto Library, just in case. Sometimes you will notice years later that a single image not imported correctly, and then you will be glad you still have a backup of the original iPhoto library.

Internet speeds keep slowing down to a crawl

I'm having a problem that has only developed in the past week which was during a time when I haven't changed any configurations in that period of time since my son was born a week ago yesterday and I obviously had more important things to do than mess with my network configurations. However, about 2 weeks prior to his birth, in the process of configuring a baby monitoring system with icam source, 3 weeks or so ago, I read that I might be able to improve my internet performance, I ran googles namebench a couple of times and added and re-ordered the DNS servers that had been listed prior to any problems developing based on its' reports. My internet speeds improved as a result of changing those DNS settings and stayed good until the past week. But of course, we now need to use the computer as part of our baby monitoring system and it's not working worth a **** and I'm getting frustrated since I can't put my finger on the problem and I don't really have time to spin around in circles right now. I'm sure it's probably something simple and I can't put my finger on it though. Sleep deprivation is new to me.......
I've kept running log of notes so this is a little deshoveled but I figured the more information I provide the better the chance someone might help me get this solved quickly.
In the last week, since my sons birth, my internet speeds would be okay after restarts and resetting everything, 2.5 Mbps or so but after a 10-15 minutes it starts to slow down to .2-.3 Mbps. I went thru all my network settings, restarted everything, repaired permissions, I've changed ethernet cables reset PRAM, firewall is running, stealth mode enabled, allow signed software incoming connections and my various other programs such as netsessionmac4f3c6b, skype, java, itunes, etc.
All sharing services off and pretty basic login items at startup including growl.
I had AT&T come out and check my DSL line and everything checked out on their end up to and out of the DSL modem based in their equipment tests.
The problem seems to start when I connect my imac (a fairly loaded 27" imac I got in Dec.) First off, as soon as the imac is connected to the modem via ethernet, the old ethernet modem flashes and continues to flash, even right after startup. So the tech thought something was running in the background and I can't figure out what. I looked through login items but don't see anything that would be a problem and am afraid to eliminate everything.
So I created a guest account to eliminate any login items (I think) and in I got 5.69 Mbps right off the bat. But after a minute or two, without changing anything my download speed slows down and I get for example .77 Mbps. The same thing happens with my administrator account on the imac. Fast speeds at startup and more importantly if I change the configuration by switching between ethernet and airport, I get fast speeds right after changing the configuration but after a minute or two I am well below 1.0 Mbps. I've got several network configurations with automatic, airport and ethernet set up in different ways including a clean ethernet connection with the original DNS settings.
I haven't set up an airport only account but that really isn't the way I want to hook up the computer that sits right next to the modem and runs my network. Restarting the old modem and direct connecting the computer to the modem results in the same thing happening.
I connected my ethernet from the (old?) modem directly to my ancient powerbook G4 and I got +5.6 Mbps download but it also slowed down to 300 kbps after 5 minutes or so the first time (old modem?)
Now to explain why I have "old?" listed above. I was then able to get a new DSL modem from AT&T, hook it up just fine, get enormously faster internet service in the 5,000 kbps only to have it slow back down to around 300 kpbs after connected for several minutes.
directly connected to imac-bypassing router
3,500 kbps
after 15 minutes-250 kbps
connected to imac thru router/time capsule with airport extreme
2500 kbps
after 15 minutes=166 kbps
directly connected to an older powerbook G4 with new modem
IP address of 192.168.1.64
5.65 Mbps on speedtest
after 15 minutes=5.67 Mbps
after 30 minutes= 5.59 Mbps
1 hour-5.66 Mbps
Very solid, stable readings for what I am used to. This would seem to isolate the problem to the imac.
directly connected to imac with new modem
IP address of 192.168.1.64
5.8 Mbps on speedtest
after 30 minutes= .60 Mbps-ping takes 250 ms
1 hour= .46 Mbps-ping takes 250 ms
Now a problem that only started last night after I hooked up the new modem and started up my old Time capsule/airport configuration, I got a message that said something to effect of "another device on this network is using computer IP address 192.168.1.64. So I tried manually changing last digit of the IP address on the computer to one number higher and it kept saying the start and end range were incorrect so I shut the airport station down since when it was connected, it would not allow the computer to connect thru the router via ethernet. I did a hard reset on the airport and I got it back up and running just fine but the internet speeds on the imacs' ethernet connections are so slow it's practically worthless. I also checked to see what was connected to my airport on any given occasion, 2 iphones, 2 pads, another imac running upstairs and a newer powerbook running icam source that is supposed to be the baby monitor. Except for the laptop everything can use "802.11n" but the powerbook only connects via 802.11g so I have set the airport to that limiting setting.
Any suggestions? Is there a way for me to log what is happening so I can report in more detail?

First thing is to check if the wireless is on a sensible channel: HomeHub doesn't always make sensible choices. Install inSSIDer on your laptop and see what other devices there are around and if there is any clash. Also, try moving the HomeHub around a little, even quite small differences can make a big difference to wireless signals.
You could run an ethernet cable from downstairs to upstairs. Easy to do, but can be a bit unsightly. If most of your devices are upstairs, you could use this cable to connect the modem to the HomeHub. If you have devices both up and down, you may want to keep the HomeHub downstairs and add a switch upstairs.
HomePlug may be suitable for you. If you search Amazon for HomePlug you will see a couple of kits for just over £30. Don't go for an 85Mbps one. A 200Mbps such as the TP-link or D-Link should be much better than wireless, but not as good as a cable.
Depending excatly how many devices you want to connect and where, you can pay more and have a builtin wireless at one end: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Devolo-1408-Wireless-N-HomePlug-Adapter/dp/B00472MMCQ/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qi... Or it may be best for you to use the basic devices and add an old wireless router in switch mode.

After instailling iTunes 7.4.1 for Windows, my system slows down to a crawl

After downloading and installing iTunes 7.4.1 for Windows XP Professional, my system slows down horribly, and I cannot seem to find out why. Rebooting before installing this version of iTunes did not take long at all, yet after installing iTunes, rebooting takes at least 4 times as long, and the system runs very slowly/poorly. What has caused this problem? I have other friends who have HP Pavilion laptops using Windows XP who are using iTunes and iPods with no problems at all. I have restored my system back to the state before installing iTunes in SAFE MODE, but now I am unable to use my iPod or iTunes. Anyone having this problem?

In my experience iTunes has never been stable in a Windows operating system. If it's not one thing it's another. Right now I'm having video play back issues with tv shows on iTunes, good thing I have the iPhone now so I can watch them on there.

My Firefox has slowed down to a crawl for no apparent reason. It starts out okay but gradually slows until it's inoperable. Nothing changed. Everything I can find to do has been checked. What happened?

Oh, good, space. I was using ver 8.x; it was working fine. I left for a couple of hours. When I returned it had slowed to a crawl and was unusable. I'd been getting nagged to update, so I did that first. Cleared cache, cookies, history. Disabled hardware acceleration. Restarted Win (XP SP3), ran a virus check, etc., all the usual stuff. Don't have a proxy. The behavior looks like very, very bad lags. Often the page refreshes itself over and over as it loads. This happens on EVERY page. Chrome and Safari are working fine. I would love my Firefox back so any help appreciated.

Hi mpblonestarlady,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of good information in there that should help.
Hopefully this helps!

Premiere CS5 slowed down to a crawl

I recently started a project in CS5 and all was working well. I had a project that was done in CS4 and I wanted to use some sequences from CS4 so I converted it, imported the project into my CS5 project without any problems. I was working fine on a sequence from the old CS4 project.
Today, I booted up, opened the project and noted that it was loading slow. When I went to open one of the old sequences, it took 5 minutes to come up. When I try to save the project, it's extremely slow going, taking 4-5 munites to save. Any ideas?
System details:
I7 extreme CPU
12GB DDR3 RAM
500GB system drive
4 - 1TB working drives
2 - GTX480 Video Cards
EVGA 4way SLI Motherboard

The Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update fixes the issue with project files growing ("bloating") and causing problems with loading and working with the project.
When you have updated Premiere Pro CS5, let us know whether your problem is fixed.

Is iOS 8 slowing down the wi fi on my iPad air?

Having lived through several OS updates I know that it takes a little while for apps to all be updated and for little glitches to be worked out. However, I think iOS 8 has brought on some real issues with my iPad Air.
The overall issue is a slow connection to the internet. This happens at home and in several other locations where I have used the wi-fi since updating to iOS 8 a few weeks, ago. My work PC works fine (well... at least, the internet does), but my daugter's iPad mini (also updated to iOS 8) will slow down when she is watching Netflix, occassionally. The family also has an iMac, which is working fine.
While using the Washtington Post (downloading the newspaper), Pinterest, Safari, You Tube, Mail and the App Store, the connection seems to slow down to a crawl making it impossible to continue what I am doing.
I've shut down and restarted the iPad, and then it works fine for a while, only to slow down again sometime later. Sometimes the problem will seem to fix itself, but then it slows down again. Sometimes, it happens when it comes out of sleep mode, and sometimes not. Since I use my iPad to work from home, it is really frustrating. I can delay my gratification when it comes to games and such, but not when I am updating my blog or reading my email.
I've Googled iOS 8 and wi fi and saw that there are a number of issues out there. Some of the big tech magazines and websites are tracking some similiar issues. I'm curious if anyone knows if this is all related to iOS 8 and if a future update will resolve it, or if there are ways I can test my hardware on my iPad to make sure it is working properly.
Thanks!

How to remove ios 8 ? This is biggest failure of Apple. It slow down my ipad , freez application, freez key board....?

My iMac (2009) slows down after I go to sites that are memory intensive

I have noticed my computer slows down to a crawl after I use sites that I believe are memory intensive. Example of that is iFirstrowSports.eu (streams soccer games live). The latest one was Wix where my wife was building her web site using their html5 tools.
I have also noticed that when the system is running slow, not all websites run as slow as others. Fro example abola.pt is very slow, while yahoo.com or yahoo mail will be slow but not horrible. I am wondering if it has to do with how those sites use memory or the technology they leverage.
I went to EtrCheck and run a report. Note that this report was done when the system is performing well.
I would appreciate some help and advice.
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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.
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 in OS X 10.9 or earlier, 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 login 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 the test.

System slow down - help!

I don't think I'v ever had this problem before - the whole system keeps slowing down to a crawl - every app, the cursor, every thing -
I just did the disk utility maintenance yesterday (from the Repair partitioin), cleaning permissions & verifying / repairing the disk...
somehow give me some suggestions, the cache, the memory...?
should I zap the P-RAM,or whatever that step is where you restart holding COMAND-OPTION-P-R ??
help!

Ok, there are a few things I would try.
1. Download this free application from the app store called iBoostUp Click Here. Once you do that launch the application you should run the first four things (The quick clean, Disk optimizer, Network optimizer, and memory booster).
2. If it is still slow launch Disk Utility, then select you computer's hardrive and press verify disk (Not disk permissions). When that is finished press repir disk.
3. Yes, if it is still slow now zap the P-ram. When you hear the startup chime at startup hold down command+option+R+P, then count, stop this process after you have heard 3 startup chimes.
4. If it still is like this, consider buying the premium version of iBoostUp Click Here. Now you can run all of the tests and processes in the application.
5. Now is the time to bring your computer to Apple (Make an appointment).

XY dot plot slows down over time

In my VI I am using Express XY graph to plot a continous stream of XY coordinates over a contstant domain and range. I would like to keep the trail of these points.
Initially, plotting is very fast. But it eventually slows down to a crawl as point keep coming in. I have disabled autoscaling and smooth updates, but still the same problem.
Is there any solution to this, other than periodically reseting the graph?

Hello Amir,
I�m assuming that your data is being streamed into an array, and that you are then plotting that array on the XY graph. If this is the case, the XY graph has to rewrite itself every time, since XY graphs are a one-shot display. They are not set up for streaming. As your data keeps streaming in, the array gets bigger and bigger, causing the XY graph to take longer to refresh, slowing everything down.
One solution is to only plot the last x number of data points (x based on how fast you want it to refresh vs how much data you want to see). I�m including an example of a circular buffer than does just this. You�ll have to modify it for your data and for the XY graph, but the idea is the same.
If none of these suggestions help, please
post the software and versions you are using, the applicable portions of your code, and any other information that may help, and I�ll be happy to look further into it.
Have a nice day!

Why does my MBP slow down throughout the day?

If I reboot my MBP it will run very fast, nice and zippy. But as the hours go on it seems to slow down to a crawl. I am noticing this in particualr in PS where I can run a program called Portraiture (for example) that will run almost instantly after a reboot and then hours later will take as much as 25 or 30 seconds to run.
The only thing that I have noticed is it does seem to correspond (possibly) with an external hard drive I attach to it frequently. I did this morning again and noticed it starting to slow shortly after. Ejecting the disk and unplugging it doesn't help, but ejecting it, unplugging and rebooting does help. (Though I don't kow if it is just the reboot that is helping and not neccesarily the disk) This ext HD is one that was used with my PC and is now being used to transfer files from the old PC to the new Mac. Could this be the problem? Have you ever heard of this being an issue?
I just used a tool called the band aid tool- this is something that is used for retouching. When using this tool it is typically instant but just now it took about 45 seconds for it to do it's job. I looked at the activity monitor and it was showing only 2% memory usage at the time.
This seems a bit odd to me.
MBP, Lion, 2.3GHZ, 8GB RAM.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

An application I have used for years suddenly slowed down.

A CAD application I have used for years suddenly slowed down to a crawl. It is virtually unusable. My other apps seem ok.
The application in question runs under Rosetta since it is a PPC app.
I have plenty of disk space and nothing obvious has changed. Any ideas how to resolve this problem will be appreciated.

Tethering with AT&T, any slow down with increased use?

I am between buying a Iphone4 and a DroidX. The tie-breaker likely is going to be tethering. Apparently on a DroidX with Verizon, after 5 gigs, the intenet slows down to a crawl, something I can't live with. I gather there is no slow down with AT&T, you just pay more, $10 per gig. Do I have that right? Does tethering the Iphone4 work as well as a wireless card? Thanks.

It works fine...did I mention it was EXPENSIVE!
