Backups are very slow

Since I installed Mavericks the backup program seems to run dreadfully slowly. Also the "clock" on the top line no longer rotates. a 25 Gig backup was going to take all day. I don't remember this kind of timeframe under

A few months back, I picked up a new iMac, and an external USB 3.0 LaCie 4TB. I performed the initial Time Machine of the 3TB internal that only had about 700GB on it, and as expected and anticipated, it took forever. However, what really unhinged me was the incrementals (after installing Logic and a few other Pro apps) took bloody forever for 4GB incrementals. I scoured the Apple Discussion forums, Google searches, but never did find any answers.
Then one day, I decided to Safe Mode boot the iMac (Shift key on start-up), and then rebooted it (the safe-mode boot took 15 mins to reach the desktop). Upon the fresh reboot after Safe Mode boot, Time Machine backups were super quick, and have been for 6 months now. (initially on 10.8.x, and still quick on 10.9.0 and now 10.9.1).
It's worth a try; It's technically a quick procedure, and could correct your dog-slow TM backups.

Online backups to Verizon service are very slow (25/25 service) - 1.5GB (113 files) @ over six hours

First, let me note that I had the Actiontec router replaced by tech right here, speed tests alone are great, PC was optimized. I am using a wired connection. However, uploads to the Verizon backup are very poor. Not sure what to do next.

Mojolo:
You answered ytour OWN question.
Creating backups to the Internet are not advised. There are many reasons that make this a poor idea from availability to security. Take matters in your own hands and create local backups.
Personally, I write active data to a DVDRW weekly (rotated amongst 6 DVDRW discs) and monthly I use Ghost and image every hard disk of all my computers to an external hard disk. It takes less than 15 minutes to backup ~4.5GB worth of data to DVDRW media.
Before Sandy hit, I moved the latest DVDRW backup and the external hard disk to an offsite location "inland" (just in case).

Time machine backup is very slow after migration to Mountain Lion

After I migrated to mountain lion, Time machine backup is very slow. Time machine preference says there is no previous back up although I had Time machine on before migration. It did not help verymuch to connect an ethernet cable between my timecapsule and my Macbook Pro
Here are the screenshots I see:
Should I erase the previous backup made on Lion before backing up on Mountain lion? in this case how do I transfer the Lion backup file on another disk just in case something goes wrong before I have a good backup under Mountain Lion? just like any other file?

After further reading on the forum, the problem was solved: I used the possibility to back up on a second disk (in the preferences Time Machine choose a disk and save on both disks) to make a back up on another usb disk, and then erased the old .sparsebundle file on my Time Capsule. I have then re defined time capsule as the back up disk and then the backup was muuuuuch faster (one night instead of less than 1 giga after 3 days.....)

Hey there Logic Pro21,
It sounds like you are seeing some odd performance issues with Logic Pro X. I recommend these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening:
Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
Verify that your computer meets the system requirements for Logic Pro X
See Logic Pro X Technical Specifications.
Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
Start Logic with a different project template
Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Isolate an issue by using another user account
For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
Reinstall Logic Pro X
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
Open the Mac App Store
Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Since download of Firefox Hello desktop & laptop both on Windows 7 are very slow even after refresh, download history removed and anti virus software turned off

Since download of Firefox Hello my home desktop & laptop, both on Windows 7, are very slow to open. I have refreshed firefox, removed download history and turned off the anti virus software in extensions. All the plugins are up to date. Can we revert back to Firefox without Firefox Hello?

Firefox Hello is simply a wrapper for technology already in Firefox, it doesn't negatively impact performance if you aren't using it. Are you saying that your entire computer is slow or just Firefox?

CS4 apps are VERY slow to open Windows file browser with File Open or File Save As commands

We are running CS4 on Windows 7 with all available updates installed. Photoshop and the other CS4 applications are VERY slow to open a Windows file browsing window to select files when File Open or File Save As menu options are run -- it can take as long as a minute or two for the window to open. Once the window opens and a file is selected, then opening or saving the file is very quick. The location of the default directory, whether it is on a local drive or a network drive, makes no difference. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

The link that I posted earlier is off. Read this one
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2501584. I discovered in my network that the MS Office File Validation Patch made excel crawl when opening over the network though nothing else changed. At the time I was opening Excel on Office 2003.
You can manually turn this off by editing the registry and tunring it off. Going forward I skipped the patch to keep my sanity. Not sure if this is the same as your issue, but the support article will go into detail how to either have Fix it
clear the issue or change the proper registry keys.
Hope this helps

HT201250 Time Machine backups are extremely slow

Time Machine backups filled an older, smaller external HD, began deleting oldest files. TM backups began to be very slow, I assumed because of the deletion of older files. I replaced external HD with a new LaCie 3.0TB external HD (p9233). Backups are still very slow, take a very long time. It appears TM is backing up all files each time it runs - literally hundreds of thousands of files each backup when only a few files should have changed from one hour to the next. I have tried on and off as well as setting up TM anew, nothing seems to affect time and speed. Any help?

Hi,
i've resolved problem 46029, but it remains loop problem in Oracle Bi Administration Tool. In addition, if in Answers I click on "Create Direct Request" I have results immediately. Otherwise if I submit a query on "Settings->Administration->Issue SQL, system goes in loop as in Administration Tool. At this point a begin to think that problem is at AWM creation cube step. In your opinion? What about your opinion? What other checks can I do, to resolve the situation?
P.S. If I submit the same query given from NQSQuery.log under SQL PLUS, it goes in loop.
P.S.2. I've tried all on a smaller cube. "Update Row Count" or "Retrieve Data" in Administration Tool now responds in acceptable time. I've deployed cube in Answers, and even in it , query returns in acceptable time. But it's a very small cube. For larger cubes situation is that explained. However, in this way, i think i can exclude all previous problems as cause of my issue. What do you think? However the problem remains. What can i do?
My trouble is that I have still deployed a month ago a cube which responds in two seconds even to complex queries :-). Since that moment, performance has been always worst. The only change i've made has been of execute procedure to have multiple catalogs (and rpds) on same machine...
Thanks
Giancarlo

Why reports created in 8.5 and saved in XI.5 are very slow?

Hello,
Here is my problem :
I worked with Crystal Report 8.5 and my reports were speedy.
I saved a report in a new version (Crystal XI.5) and the report generation is very slow.
If i saved the same report (saved in 8.5) in the version XI (not the XI.5) the report is speedy.
If i saved the report from XI.5 to XI there is no change (report slow).
Have you ever seen this problem?
The database used is Advantage Database Server 8.1.0.26
Thanks for the help.
Mickael

Hi Mariusz,
It is expected that the reports will run a bit slow in the newer version as the entire report engine has undergone chnage after version 8.5.
With the new version, the database security has been enforced a lot more as compared to version 8.5. Along with this, the SQL generation process has also undergone change and the SQL which is now generated is much more optimized.
Also, there are a lot of new features in terms of formatting the report, which can cause the delay in showing you the first page of the report. It may not just be the database access that is taking time.
As suggested earlier, if you find the query generated in 8.5 was fetching records faster, you can surely create a command object in XI R2 to check if you get the same speed of data retrival.
Regards,
Abhishek Jain.

Preview Project slides are very slow

I have a new problem, that just appeared in Captivate. If I record on a slide, doesn't matter which mode, Full Motion, Automatic Recording, etc, the slides play back in Preview Project extremely slowly.
I have the Slide Duration at 5 seconds under Preferences. I can change the slide duration in the timeline for each invididual slide, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. The slides in Preview Project take about 30 seconds or more to cycle. It works the same if I go in an Preview the Next 10 slides. I have changed the number of slides down to Preview Next 2 slides and it still runs very slow.
If anyone knows why this might be occuring, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mike

If you're on Captivate 5, go into Preferences and try clearing out the Cache using the Clear Cache button provided there under Global > General Settings.
If that doesn't work, try deleting your entire Preferences folder:
- on Xp: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Captivate 5
- on Vista/Win7:C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 5
- on MAC: /Users/<USER NAME>/Library/Preferences/
If things are still running slow, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Flash Player via Control Panel. Cp's preview functionality may depend on Flash player since it's previewing an SWF file.
Does that improve things?
