Computer EXTREMELY SLOW sometimes
Most of the time, my Macbook runs at normal speed. Recently, however, there have been some issues that have caused the computer to run EXTREMELY SLOW (as in, a few minutes to open a new finder window) at somewhat random times. Well, not exactly random. The few times this has happened, it seemed to be mainly after
opening a lot of image or sound files, even after having closed them again. For example, I would listen to lots of the included sound files in Garageband to get an idea of what they sound like, and even though each sound is stopped before listening to another one, after listening to 20 or sound files the computer suddenly craps up and starts going into SLOW MAN mode.
(ii) other random instances, such as opening the "About this Mac" window.
It seemed to happen mainly during the above instances, but correlation does not equal causation and the fact that it happened during these times may be coincidental.
This is REALLY annoying. I hate having to wait a few minutes for a single mouse click to process, so I end up shutting the computer down manually by holding down the power button. I have tons of memory left (around 67 GB). This happens whether or not I'm connected to the internet. I don't know what the heck it is and I'd like to find out asap since I need this computer for my work. If anyone has ANY idea about what this could be, PLEASE RESPOND ASAP.
Thanks.
My first thoughts are a) insufficient RAM for what you are doing and b) a runaway application. When your problems occur what program(s) are you running? Meanwhile keep the Activity Monitor open and track your Page Ins and Page Outs. This will give you an idea of how much your computer needs to use virtual memory.

Mplayer seeks extremely slow (sometimes)
Sometimes mplayer is extremely slow when seeking in files, e.g. by using the arrow keys or page up/down. At one time I can instantly seek through the whole file and the next minute it takes more than 5-10 seconds to skip 10 seconds in the same file. It seems to come and go at random times.
Anyone else notice this?Sorry, I skipped the first part of the output. This is the output when I play the file and seek through the end. Nothing abnormal it seems.
Changing the video driver doesn't help either and because it happens and dissapears randomly on all my videos I guess it's an obscure bug. Thanks for the help anyway!

Computer EXTREMELY slow after download
I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard. Last night I downloaded a large number of fonts (all free legal fonts, fyi ), although while it was downloading I was unsure of exactly how many I was downloading. When all was said and done it turned out there were about 30,000 fonts in the package. Although it was more than I was expecting, it was under a gig in file size so I didn't see any issues installing them. I installed all of them but last night had no issues. I turned off my computer when I went to sleep.
This morning I went to turn my computer on and found it to be EXTREMELY slow. It took 20 minutes for it to even turn on in the first place, it took 20 minutes to open the finder and its taken an hour for the library folder to open and I STILL can't get into it. Obviously the solution is to delete the fonts, but I can't do that if I can't get into the font folder.
Is there a way to delete things in "safe mode" or something? Because obviously I can't do it through the standard display.A suggestion: boot up from another OS that can read hfs+, then delete the offending fonts.
If you have a firewire HDD that has Mac OS X installed on it you can boot up from it by pressing "T" during bootup.
If you don't, try another OS. If I were you I would use Ubuntu, a linux OS. This will do absolutely no harm to your system at all, since it is booting from a live CD and is completely sandboxed. Go to http://ubuntu.com/ and download the live CD for free (700 MB) and burn it to a CD. Before you boot up from it you should disable journalling on your HDD, since Ubuntu can't write to journalled hfs+. You can do this from your Mac OS X install disc 1, which you boot up from (press "C" at startup to boot from CD), the Disk Utility application, selecting your drive and selecting "Disable Journalling" from the "File" menu.
Then reboot and boot from your Live CD. Say yes to everything until you get to the desktop. You don't have to install it (unless you want), just go to the "Places" button on the "menu bar" and select Macintosh HD, or whatever you named yours, navigate it normally and delete the files. Make sure to leave a few behind. Then restart by pressing the icon in the top right hand corner. This approach is completely harmless, and I have used it several times on my friends' Macs which needed access to files while the OS was down. After you have done all that you should enable journalling again
Hope this helps. -
Mail extremely slow, sometimes cannot connect
Mail has become incredibly slow: sometimes it take thirty seconds to load a text message with two lines.
Sometimes, upon starting up, it can't connect at all.
At the same time, the internet connection is fine, and all browsers work.
I'm on 10.8.5 with a first gen retina MacBook Pro with 512 Gb disc and 16Gb ram.
Should I reinstall Mail? What could be the reason for the sluggish performance (it doesn't happen all the time, sometimes Mail seems to work fine, but very often I get "Loading..." forever.
And, again, I'm getting the zigzag sign for interrupted connection. Why doesn't Mail work?
update: I checked activity: Mail is constantly logging out of my mail accounts, and then has to log back in, which is why it's so slow. How can I prevent Mail from logging out?
Also: Mail gets stuck in the middle of downloading messages. The blue bar in the activity window only goes halfway, and then is stuck for fifteen to thirty seconds... which is the time it needs to get me my mail.Sometimes this problem can be cured by tidying up the Keychain, where login info is stored. You can do this by opening Keychain Access in your Utilities folder. Find the location and login info for the mail account. Delete, say, all but the most recent one. Does that fix the problem? If not, go back and delete even the recent one. When Mail asks you for your login stuff, give it, then check the box which says to store it in the keychain. Sometimes just doing this last step is enough to clear up the annoying login windows.

Computer extremely slow after Yosemite
Hi! My computer became very slow after updating to Yosemite. And when I try to force quit applications, I see that the one creating conflict is something called Safari (or sometimes MAIL) web content. I have no idea of what that is or why they are open or ...
I would appreciate all help. Thank you1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Running Extremely Slow sometimes
Hi, for the last few days my laptop has been running very slow to the point where I can't do anything. If I restart or shutdown and turn it back on, it still runs very slow and takes about 10 minutes to start up. It goes away though sometimes. For instance, right now it is running fine but I'm scared it might slow down again. I was wondering if you knew how to fix this or what's causing this? Thanks.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)How much RAM do you have?
I believe the amount of free hard drive space is your problem which is not adequate.
Coped from Problems from Insufficient RAM and Free Hard Disk Space.
As a rule of thumb: if the Available space on your Mac OS X startup disk is less than the larger of 5 Gb, or ten percent of its Capacity, it is time to free some disk space. -
Computer Extremely Slow Response
Hi, I have and Ibook with Mac os10.3, recently I started having problems accessing the internet it takes for ever to get to a web site. I use Safari and Explorer browsers. I did a bandwith test and the results came back as 79kb.
I don't think it has anything to do with the ISP because I use another computer to test the bandwidth on the same network and came back as 1.2 mb for the other computer. Could this be a memory problem. Also, I have a 30G hard drive with no personal files on it and it is saying 17G are use. I have no idea where it is. Word and Excel are also slow. Any ideas?
I repar the disk using the disk utility but no luck.Hi Apo,
I can't tell you about your bandwidth problem, but here's a piece of freeware called WhatSize that may help you determine where your diskspace has gone.
If your system is slow, try to repair permissions from the Disk Utility. If that doesn't help, open the application Fontbook, and select "all fonts". If you have duplicate fonts (those with bullets by them), do an Edit>Resolve Duplicates (one duplicated-font at a time). When done, close Fontbook, and see if your system speed has increased.
Hope this helps some.

FireFox 3,6 was only using 400mb or so. When I got FireFox 4 it all have been much more than that, almost everytime I use firefox. The plugin is using more than it should, no matter how few tabs I have open it still will not make the number go any lower. I can almost not use my computer because of this.
Don't know if it is your problem, but your Adobe Flash plug-in at 10.2.159.* is not up to date. You current one today is 10.3.181.22 for Firefox users. And not being up-to-date with Flash has a lot of problems.

Toshiba 320GB external HDD make my computer extremely slow
Hi.
I bought this product a few weeks ago now and whenever I use it, it makes my omputer go so slow tp the point where I can't actually do anything on it, due to the fact that everything becomes non-responsive. Also, the rate at which I transfer files onto it is also very slow. Any ideas why and what I can do to speed things up a bit?
Thanks.Hi
You have suggested the notebook becomes slowly during the usage of the external HDD.
I assume you transfer a data from the internal HDD to the external USB HDD.
I think its not very unusual the notebook runs slowly during the data transmission.
It depands also on the programs which runs in the background of the OS.
I dont know which interface you use USB2 or only a USB but the data transfer depends on the interface. -
Since in stalling Mavericks on my Early-2011 MacBook Pro I have had unbelievable trouble with it being extremely slow — sometime running fix disk permissions helps, but not for long.
I have created a new partition on both the SSD and HD, erased the partitions and reinstalled Mavericks on both. After that I reinstalled a limited number of the applications that I use regularly.
The same problem of a very sluggish system — to the point of being unusable — is the case for 10.9.3 installed on the partition on the SSD and the partition installed on the HD — nothing seems to help on either drive.
I have run the full suite of tests in TechTool Pro 7 several times and it has reported no problems.

Can you disconnect the FireWire disk to see if that has any effect?
It sounds like you have tried a clean install on each disk, is that correct? That would make me think it is hardware related. Are you near an Apple store?
I'd do some searching to see if anyone has had issues with multiple recovery partitions, 5 seems excessive :)
I think they are required for FaceTime & Findmymac, but it's unclear on how they interact (not mounted probably means they don't, but look anyway). -
Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-02Y010) - Is extremly slow
Bought A300 with Vista which was so slow.
I even turned off loads of features trying to make it a bit quicker but still slow, so I loaded XP and yet its still to slow takes ages (5mins) at least to start. Right click takes ages copying all of it is so slow, it hangs doing the most easy things.
My old laptop I bought in 1999 is quicker than my new 4GB RAM dual processor 2k laptop what gives and what could be the problem.
I have up to date software drivers ect also the CD/DVD is broken has anyone else had these problems and would you know how to sort it out?
Help pleaseHi!
Its not easy to say what the reason is why your notebook is so slow but do you have the same issue with factory settings?
I mean the preinstalled Windows Vista version with all drivers and tools from Toshiba. So take the Toshiba recovery disk and try it. Then you can post your result.
Two years ago I had a similar issue. My new notebook was extremely slow and the reason for this problem was the HDD. It had defective sectors and so it did make the computer extremely slow. After exchanging the HDD all was working well.
You can check the HDD with Drive Fitness Test. Use Google to find this test and its freeware. -
ITunes connection is extremely slow
For the past five days my connection to iTunes has been painfully slow. This slowness applies to everything from updating podcasts to simply accessing the iTunes store. This seems to be unrelated to my internet connection as I haven't noticed any slowing in anything else I have done. All download rates, etc... are normal outside of iTunes. Has anyone else experienced this and what can be done to fix it?
I have the same problem, have been having it since the March 28. Sometimes iTunes won't even connect, tells me 'the connection has been reset'. But when it does connect, it is extremely slow, sometimes the pictures don't load. Searching stalls and I have to hit the stop button then hit enter to start the search again to get results. Let's not even get into previewing tracks. And as for downloading purchased songs, one night I purchased three albums, I went to bed at midnight at 6 the next morning, it was just starting on the first track of the third albums. Each of these albums total run time was less than an hour. Outside of iTunes my connection is just as zippy as it once was, I dunno why this is happening all of a sudden.
So far my solution has been to avoid the store. Because everything I have tried has been of no help to me whatsoever.
I share your pain though.
PowerBook 15.2" 1.5 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.9) -
my final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months. I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer. it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help me. I have a 13 inch mac book pro 10.6.8 8gb 2.3 gfz intel core i5
What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
See if working on the main disk is any faster.
USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go. And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too. FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't. -
I just downloaded Yosemite operating system and my computer is extremely slow but also not opening my Adobe applications. Can anyone help? thanks!
First, tell Apple about your problems... with details... and hope for an update that fixes your slowness
Second, Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed
