  • Problems Maverick 10.9.4 all apps/browsers running slow

    My computer has been updated per system.  I downloaded Maverick and added google chrome, Firefox and bug add-on, and Komodo Edit 8. I ran disk utility and repaired permissions. I do not have a back-up of maverick I downloaded it. I do not want to wipe the drive and rebuild it. Please help?

        191% installd
    What are you installing?
    Did you accidentally click on a downloader that installs genieo (nasty ad ware stuff).  Or do you actually know what installd is?
    Can someone help me, I have problems to management quickly, funcinal, security, maverick 10.9.4 .. work from home online, for me it is something serious
    Could you please explain what you mean by this?
    Are you worried about malware?
    Someone breaking into your Mac?
    Keeping your family out of your Mac?
    Sharing your Mac with other family members, but keeping your work stuff separate?
    Worried about your Mac being stolen and someone gaining access to your data?

  • IMac G5 (w/iSight) running slow and hot on web browsers

    Hello-
    I've had my iMac for 4+ years and haven't any problems I couldn't fix on my own until now....
    Machine is an iMac G5 w/ iSight with all original hardware except an extra 2GB of memory (for a total of 2.5). Over the last couple of months, my web browsers have begun to run slower and slower (mainly Safari, but I also use Firefox). Also the processor fan (I believe) comes on more quickly and frequently. It is now to the point that anytime there are any imbedded graphics, whether it's a youtube video, or a weather radar loop, or my kids are on webkinz, the fan kicks in and the top left corner gets extremely hot to the touch. As soon as I leave the page or close out the browser, the fan dies down. I cannot run any of these sites optimally. I am also getting quite a lot of page loading errors in Safari such as "Safari can't find the server." However, when I hit refresh the page comes right up. There does not seem to be a pattern to these messages. This only seems (so far) to be an issue with the browers. Today I simultaneously played a DVD, played songs on iTunes, and work in MS Word. No fan...
    Here's what I've done so far:
    Repaired disk permissions
    Ran the extended hardware test (passed, no errors)
    Ran diagnostics on my network connection (passed)
    Reset Safari and Firefox incl. clearing the cache and deleting all cookies
    Ran cleaning and maintenance w/ OnyX
    Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks...

    Which Camino? Do you have the latest, which I think is 2.0.3? It's difficult to pinpoint why all your browsers might be slow to load.
    You could try the Servers from OpenDNS which may be faster (and safer, since they are patched for DNS poisoning/redirects) than those of your ISP. Put these numbers in Network> DNS for the interface your are using, eg. Ethernet, Airport:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then check to see if it's working by going to
    http://www.opendns.com/welcome/
    You can also test your speeds here
    http://www.speedtest.net/
    Here's something to read on slow browsers (in this case, Safari, but applicable to any browser.)
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10354948-263.html
    If the refresh option works quickly, that might indicate that your Internet speed is slow. Once you've been to a page, it's stored in the browser cache, so it doesn't need to reload everything from scratch. I don't notice any difference in speed from refresh loading, so I suppose my Internet speed, though only around 1MBPS, is fast enough not to have to depend on the cache.
    I don't know for certain if that indicates a problem, but the CPU spiking temporarily to 100% on loading a page doesn't sound like a big problem. Your processor is by now relatively slow compared to newer machines and web pages are getting more complicated with more elements to load all the time.
    Finally, those G5s do run kind of hot; it will only delay the arrival of the hottest temps, but putting a fan at the back does help a little. I use one even on this new iMac.

  • Why does every browser run slow when I am doing something moderately hardware intensive in the background?

    I have looked but I don't even really know what to call this. But I can reproduce it everytime without fail and I don't understand.
    Steps to Reporduce
    Load up Safari (or chrome, whatever it doesn't matter, those two browsers have the excat same problem)
    Do some browsing. Not much just check your email or something (doesn't matter what you do)
    Run a application that uses some CPU. (Go play a game, or run handbreak, open parallells, anything that causes a bit of load)
    Go back to the browser and try to browse. Everything is dog slow and unsuable.
    Exit the application (just showing that the app was running while slow browsing)
    Browse sites at normal speed again
    Intresting facts
    I have been dealing with this for a while. So I have discovered a few things before posting here
    There is plenty of free RAM both Inactive and Unused in Activity monitor is over 1G (I have 8G total)
    There is plenty of CPU "room". Nither core is anywhere near 100%
    The goal is under moderate load, so overloading the computer and trying is not what is happening.
    nice-ing proccesses has no effect
    I notice it most when running games, but it happens at other times too, games are just one of the few things that put any load on this mac.
    Other programs work fine. I have never noticed anyother program running slow ever when this is occuring. This includes programs that include the webkit controll, oddly. Though, to be fair, that may not be accurate as I don't experance that as often.
    I have verified disk (everything is fine)
    I have verified permissions (and repaired them, everything is fine)
    Disk and permissions don't seem to have any effect.
    Network traffic does not seem slow, I can transfer files at the same rate when the browsers are slow, or when theyre runnning fine.
    There is no odd hardware plugged in. I have 1 external USB disk that is always plugged in for timemachine and thats it (thoughI have unplugged that with no effect, and I have added other hardware with no effect)
    The websites/pages/browsers seem to run at a normal speed if you don't have them as the active window. Really hard to say if it's just perception cause I am not watching them, or if there is an actuall effect.
    The site being browsed doesn't seem to matter. Any site regaurdless of complexity seems to be effected. It could be Javascript related though that is really hard to tell, but browsing sites without any javascript or even from the local hardrive (test pages with no JS) still take a very long time to load.
    Average page load time is 15-30 seconds during which the whole browser is unresponcive.
    I am mostly talking about safari here as that is what I would really like to use, but chrome has basically the same effect. For this question I am sticking with fixing safari though.
    What I am looking for:
    A fix would be nice
    But I would settle for an explaniation that I can accept.
    I am running a MBP 17" with 8 gigs of ram and the 2.53 GHZ i5 processor. I am fully up to date with both Lion and Safari.

    Also would like to say DNS resolution is not the problem. I do not use my ISPs DNS servers. I use Google's public DNS servers and a in house caching DNS. DNS resolution is fine, outside the browser and the pages are getting "stuck" while loading not while transfering, or resolving.

  • My macbook pro runs slow. What can i do ?

    After i went on a streaming website, my macbook pro has started to run slow  over night and after 1 or 2 hours using the internet  didn't let me acess the internet. My intenet connexion is good. but safari says that he cant find the servor for the website and it does it with any kind ob websit or it just doesnt open the page, it leaves it blank . i tried to clean it, no results and i checked for virus, no results either.
    has been already happened to someone else ?

    You should post in the Snow Leopard or Safari forum area especially if your problem appears in no other browsers.  Your problems have nothing to do with a MBP.  It's software related.
    How large is your HD AND how much space do you have left? 

  • Why is my safari running slow after updating my mac?

    My safari is running slow after completing a software update.  I have cleared the cache.  It did not help.

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
    Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • IMac runs slow, restart solves for a few hours ...

    Hi, for some week's my iMac has began to run slower. The browsers ( Firefox & Safari ) become unresponsive as do Finder, other App's and the computer generally until i have to force quit and restart. Then everything is fine for several hours until gradually the same issue reoccurs. The longer i leave it , the slower things become until i actually have to power down manually.
    When i think back the problems may have started after i had issues with websites not loading properly ( Sky News Uk was my homepage )  I struggled to find a solution but eventually upgraded Adobe flash player for Mac and maybe Microsoft Silverlight and then the sites loaded correctly. I can't remember exactly but i'm pretty sure this was before the slowing down started to be a problem.
    I apologize in advance for my poor technical knowledge but any help is appreciated.
    I've included the EtreCheck results which i hope may be of some help.
    Thanks

  • Mac book pro running slow and getting pop ups

    mac book pro running slow and getting pop ups

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

    did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

    Yours is the first computer I've heard about on these forums that is attempting to run Mavericks with only 2GB of RAM.
    Indeed that is acceptable per the Mavericks requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
    ... but as you may know, Apple has not sold computers with as little as 2GB RAM for quite a while.
    I suggest therefore you make sure you remove any applications that may be overtaxing your machine.  Examples are browsers other than Safari, Mac cleaning products (such as Mac Keeper), or any other non-Apple app that has some startup process running (such as Outlook).

  • HT1338 why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

    why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Mountain lion making everything run slow

    Hi guys
    since downloading and installing Mountain lion on my Macbook Pro feb 2011 i have been having a long lag when running safari and basically any other apple apps i try to use that need to connect to the internet.
    on safari it takes so long to load anything that it times out or comes up with a message saying safari cant load the page. although my internet with sky is slow (between 500-800kbps) however it is not slow enough to do this. it is particularly difficult to load data rich sites like bbc or facebook.
    1. can i reverse the install and go back to lion
    2. if not is there anything i can do to stop this happening.
    3. HELP!!! its driving me insane!
    thanks
    Aimee

    I have the same problem with a MBAir with 2GB of RAM. The system was very fast before mountain Lion. Now I have the same problems I had before with Snow Leopard. The Keyboard is slow (I write faster than the keyboard is able to respond), the browsers are slow to respond. I have a solution that helps a little bit whish a little app called "Free Memory" and yes, zap the pram helps also. There is another app called Onyx that can fix things. You may have disk permissions issues after the install. I reccomend this before you roll back your installation. I really regret that I upgraded...hopefully Apple will fix things soon in the meantime I just have to live with it and be carefull with memory eating programs like google chrome, safari and Proclaim. I should have known better and waited a couple of months befor upgrading on a 2009 MBAir...

  • Safari Running slow on OS X Yosemite?

    Safari tends to run slow on OS X Yosemite. This happens most of the time when I'm running a Facebook tab (which "whites out") or watching a YouTube video (which is really choppy and "unsyncs" with the audio). The colored pinwheel becomes commonplace and the screen freezes. I thought it would be my internet connection but I've used other browsers such as Chrome and Firefox on the mentioned sites and it works perfectly fine. This problem has happened since I've updated my MacBook to OS X Yosemite back in October. Is this a general problem among all Macs with the latest Safari update Version 8.0.2 (10600.2.5)? If not, what could it possibly be?

      Go step by step by step and test.
    1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
        Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
        Restart the computer.
        Start up in Safe Mode.
        http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204
    2. Delete Caches.db
        Close all windows and quit all applications.
        Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
        Select "Library" from the dropdown.
        Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari > Caches.db
        Right click the Caches.db file and select "Move To Trash.
        Close windows and relaunch Safari.
    3. Empty Caches
        Safari > Preference > Advanced
        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
        Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
        Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    4. Delete Cookies
        Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
        Click “Remove All Website Data”.
    5. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
        Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
        Turn on those one by one and test.

  • My mac's running slow

    my mac is running slow especially going on line. any suggestions?

    10.3.9 is rather old. First quess, you need more memory.  Web browsering today take more memory with all the javascript.
    You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
    1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive.  You should have a several gigs free.
    2) You should run disk utility
         a) verify the disk
         b) update your permissions.
    3) Try a safe boot.
        Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
          is being checked.
        http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
    4) You may want to run applejack to clean up your machine.
         http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
    a lot more ways to fix your Mac.
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
    Look at what is happening with your Mac when you run Activity Monitor.
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor
    1) Be sure you select all processes in the double arrow selection just be low the window title line.
    2) Click on the CPU tab on the lower half of the window to see how much time you are using and if any applications are hogging the CPU.
    3) Be sure the triangle in the CPU title is in the down position.  This will list the processes from high to low.
    You can gain some understanding of Activity Monitor by  looking at it every once in a while.  Look at the small graph.
    Here is how I have my CPU display set up:
    Do you need more cpu memory.
    Click on System Memory to get statistics on memory usage.  You should have some free memory.
    The number to look at is page outs.
    Mine is 13397. This means that some of my programs and data had to be written to disk because cpu memory filled up for a time.  It means my programs ran a little slower than they could have.  I could run fewer programs, deal with the slowness, or buy more memory. I'd say you want at least 512meg of memory for 10.4.
    If the entry for entry for Page ins/outs is:
    Page ins/outs: 29163/0
    Notice I have 0 pageouts which says that I am not using my harddrive for extra memory space.  Thus, I have enough memory.
    Activity Monitor has a neat feature where it can display a dynamic dock icon.  In Activity Monitor View > Dock icon > Show cpu history.
