Compaq sr1320nx /win xp after keystroke/command, the system is very slow 10-15 secs. before response

after keystroke/command, the system is very slow 10-15 secs. before response

What I've done is that I reinstalled 10.8.1 and each time, I ran disk utilitiy.  It has helped but fter a while, especially when waking up from sleep, EVERY app can take a lot of time to come up, including those already activated.  Every click would take at least 5secs to respond... and then the spinning ball comes up.
It's only after the same app was used, then it would be smooth.  For example, I run my cursor down to the bottom of the screen where my dock is hidden.  It would take a few times of running down before the dock shows up.  From that point on, it would would work nicely unless I click on any of those apps in the dock.  Then, it would take another 5secs or more before something shows on the screen such as clicking on Mail.  It takes more than 5secs before mail pops up.  Then, when I click on any mailbox, it would take another 5secs or the spinning ball comes up.  From that point on, clicking on Mail is smooth and cicking on the same mailbox is smooth unless I click on a different mailbox or go to preferences, for example.
So, I keep running disk utility almost everyday and now, it works 99% of the time.  If it slows again, I run the disk utility.  I guess that's the way to go until they come up with a proper fix.
All this housekeeping work reminds me of Windows and the endless defragging and optimising.  That was one of the few reasons why I switched to Apple and now...
Dear Mr Steve Jobs, please send some enlightenment to your Apple teams!

    Hi ..
    Better to troubleshoot Yosemite.
    Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.   OS X Tips Where did my Disk Space go?
    As for Safari, might be a cookies, cache, extensions, or plug-ins issue.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • The system become very slow when I installed FCP X

    Hi,all
    Could anybody help to solve this problem?
    MY OS X is 10.6.8, and When I installed the FCP X, it runed very slow. Each step would cost 10 sec. or even more to go over.
    I use the lastest MAC Pro (QUARD 2.8GHz, 8GB, 2TB, ATI5800), so do not worry about the perfermance.
    Moreover, how can I archive the project files and the events?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure about your speed issues, but you can find your project and event files in User/Movies/Final Cut Events and User/Movies/Final Cut Projects from there you can duplicate folders and files to backup your events and projects. Hope this helps.

  • Why system is very slow after installing Mavericks

    After installing mavericks my system becom very slow. startup also very slow. when i open an application it spins. what should i need to do

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • After upgrading to OS X Mavericks syslogd needs lot of memory and cpu, system is very slow

    After upgrading to OS X Mavericks the system is very slow. securityd and syslogd are using 50% of cpu and memory is also used by syslogd and kerneltask (8 GB out of 12). After rebooting the system it runs very well, a view days later (without reboot, only hibernating) the situation is the same.
    Looks like a problem in OS X. Any solutions?

    I haven't worked out the LDAP messages but I noticed at other times I was seeing lots of album art messages from BlackBerry desktop. I'd already uninstalled the app but it still had processes running. I followed this link to remove completely; http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57023/how-to-uninstall-completely-black berry-device-manager
    CPU levels have been noticeably lower ever since.

  • Webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software

    My webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software.
    My questions are follows:
    Should I bring it to repair or get a external webcam?
    At approximately how much would be cost for repair?
    Which webcam I should get?
    Thank you very much!

    Update, I fixed it although it feels more like a workaround. I had to enable the extension in extension manager. That still left a blank panel, but once I closed and reopened the panel I was prompted to login. Seems that closing and reopening the panel is the fix once it is enabled.

  • After I updated the system to OS X Mavericks, most of my my entries in my calendar are gone.

    so after I updated the system to OS X Mavericks, most of my my entries in my calendar are gone.

    You can try restoring your Calendar entries from Time Machine:
    - Turn off wi-fi.
    - Start Calendar.
    - File > Export > Calendar Archive... (just in case)
    - Quit Calendar.
    - Option-Go > Library .
    - Enter Time Machine.
    - Select a date.

  • My magic stopped working after I updated the system to Windows 7 SP1

    It all goes well under the Mac OS X 10.6.
    But,to Windows 7, the partial function went down after I updated the system.
    Here's my problem.
    The function of rolling in the middle area of Mouse didn't work.
    I've tried to reinstall the Bootcamp 3.1, but nothing help.
    So I wonder if there's anyone who can help me out.
    P.S. Poor English, expected that you can understand.

    Did the Windows 7 disc have SP1 on it or did you download it from Windows Update/Microsoft site. I had Windows 7 64-bit on my system and I went to the Microsoft site to download SP1 and then installed it (I had issues in the past on different PC getting service packs to download and install from Windows Update). After it installed Windows was fine I had no issues. When I was finished with using the system for the day I went to Start>Shutdown to turn it off. Then the next day I turned it on and booted into Windows and it asked for my password. I went to type it in and nothing showed in the box. I went to use the built-in mouse in the MacBook Pro and it would not move. This had happened after I redid the entire hard drive (Mac OS X and Windows) after having some other Windows issues I was having. After I found out the issues were not on the Mac OS X side I put Windows back on and the drivers for it that was on the Mac OS X disc and used Apple Software Update for Windows to get the 3.2 drivers. I don't think Apple systems and Windows7 using SP1 is compatible. If you are able to in some way or form to go to Control Panel and view the installed Windows Updates, click on the one for Service Pack 1 and then click on uninstall and remove it. I take care of the updates on another system for someone else on an HP using Winsows 7 64-bit and after what happened to me I am not putting Service Pack 1 on theres.

  • Applet fails to load after loging into the system

    I'm developing a web application for playing multi-player games. The game is played in an applet. I've written the applet and all worked well when embeding it in an ordinary jsp page. The problem starts when I try to start the applet as after logging into the system - it doesn't load and in java console I get:

    Any help more than welcome

    Thanks for the reply.
    The connection is ok but I figured out that it's not about the logging in.
