Computer is super slow x201

I don't know what's wrong with my computer but it goes really slow sometimes. I'm not even referring when it's on battery or anything like that. In fact, the power plan is Maximum Performance. My system is i7 640LM, win x64, 3gb pc 8500 1067MHz, 250GB 5400rpm with 148 GB free of 221 GB. It aslo running a lot of processes 142 atm, I don't know why. It's less than a month old and I didn't install much software so far. Some software don't even have to be installed such as eclipse (programming IDE). Everytime I go to the cpu resource monitor I see the CPUs parked so I ran prime95 to see if it is parked all the time. With a test named "Small FFTs 'I guess that stands for Fast Fourier Transforms, but w/e' (maximum FPU stress, data fits in L2 cache, RAM not tested much)" It unparked the CPUs and brought them to 100 for the full run, I quit in 1 minute. Then I ran "Blend (tests some of everything, lots of RAM tested)" I tried to stop it in 5 seconds, it took me 10 minutes to actually to stop it. I kept getting that circle window curser, the one you see before applications hang. I get that circle way too often in any application.
Simple tap is another program that takes forever to appear, also the power or any lenovo program.
It's annoying to have so many slowdowns when you have a lot of work to get done and have very little time.
How can I improve the performance? How much faster will it get if I increase the memory and by how much, what about the speed of memory 1067 vs 1333 MHz, or the timings. Hard drive? I don't know what's the highest RPM available and how much will it affect the battery, which sucks already, or SSD.

Hi all
How about processes without opening any software? For my Windows 7 x64, it's around 60+ with antivirus, etc.
Even though hard disk drive is usually the bottleneck in performance, 5400rpm HDD should not be a problem. It could be caused by hard drive fragmentation. SSD is not necessary for smooth operations.
1. Uncheck unnecessary items to speed up overall system performance. (Processes could take up CPU, memory resources and increase HDD activity that possibly slow down system performance)

2. Clean up unwanted junk.
Run CCleaner, follow BugBatter's advice (Message 5 of 20), but under Advanced, uncheck Old Prefetch Data. See (Message 7 of 20). Do not use Registry Cleaner, it does not do any help for performance, could even worsen condition.

3. Windows Disk Check
Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, click Run as Administrator.
Type:
chkdsk /f (enter)
Y (enter)
Restart your computer. Let it do all the checking and correct any errors.
4. Defrag your drive with Defraggler.
Download this tool from this link:
http://www.piriform.com/defraggler/download/portable
Extract it, double-click Defraggler.exe
Click Defrag (Repeat the steps if there's any other partition by clicking on the drive and click Defrag again)
Hope this resolve your performance issues, it shouldn't be sluggish with this system specifications.
Happy 2012!

In disk utility, below Macintosh HD I have 4 trojan "decryptedFile.dmg (flash player)" and my computer is super slow, does erasing Macintosh HD will also erase these files? If not how can I erase? (bear in mind computer so slow a click takes forever)

in disk utility, below Macintosh HD I have 4 trojan "decryptedFile.dmg (flash player)" and my computer is super slow, does erasing Macintosh HD will also erase these files? If not how can I erase? (bear in mind computer so slow a click takes forever)

Thank you Thomas in fact I have seen your guide before and had gone thru the steps including repair disk which didn´t work. I am erasing disk before checking hardware. I have posted a photo of the 4 decrypted files in the disk utility and also of the adobe icons in the dock and question marks. Some people say if the adobe appears in the dock is because it is the trojan flash player and they keep jumping in the dock. If this is not malware it seems to be an incredible coincidence that when I start seeing these things in my dock and the decrypted files in my disk utility is when my computer goes so slow (I am typing this in my macbook air because to write this message in my imac would be about 6 hours, I am not kidding, it is completely useless at this point it took me 2 and half days too instal mac os x after disk repair, it took me 3 days to transfer just 100 gigabites and now is taking the whole day (and it says another day more) just to erase the disk. Despite all this the icon of adobe keeps jumping in the dock so, although I am no computer and mac expert, just an user, I am inclined to think that it is malware and it is a shame that mac doesnt´recognize it or have anything here to help me get rid of this. I am not even sure if erasing the disk will work since repairing didn´t work... all advice is welcomed.

Brand new computer is super slow and makes a clicking noise

My brand new computer is super slow and makes a clicking noise. Any suggestions? I have a lenovo X120e, purchased it around 2 months ago but due to moving across the country just started using it, not so happy so far but I would be happier if it would speed up a bit. Every click takes a while to register especially during browsing on the internet.

Can you run the ThinkVantage Toolbox's HDD diagnostics?
Alternatively, try HD Tune's error scan and check it's SMART page for warnings.

Computer running super slow

I have a black 13" MacBook that recently started running super slow. It loads slow. The mouse moves normally, but when I click on anything it can take two minutes before anything happens. It runs slow when I boot it in safe mode. I tried running some utilities from the os disks and they didn't find any problems. I don't know what is wrong with it, or how to help it. Thanks for your help.

A new user account does nothing to help. It is still super slow
Gotcha.
So you have a systemwide issue then (not just a single account).
Did this start happening after you installed some new software or maybe an Apple Software update?
Did you add any new hardware to the computer like RAM or an hard drive?
Are you running any Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the computer (doesn't come with the Mac so it would have had to been installed by you after the fact)?
_Turn off your Airport by going to the airport menu and choosing Turn Airport off.
_Unplug all external devices besides the power cable.
_Restart the computer. -- Any change?
If not:
_SafeBoot the system and while in SafeBoot remove the Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder to the trash.
_Remove any items in Macintosh HD > Library > StartUp Items
_Reset the PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
_Any change?
If the issue persists at this point I would backup your data and reinstall the Mac OS (with 10.6 this does not erase the computer, it just puts the OS back on the computer):
_Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 installation disc
_Shut down your Mac.
_Start up your Mac while holding the C key to start from the disc and follow the onscreen prompts to reinstall.

The rainbow wheel keeps spinning and my computer is super slow

my computer is very slow trying to open any applications and the rainbow wheel keeps spining. How can I fix this?

You didn't even tell us what iMac you have (late 2009 is not a very good description) nor do we know what version of OS X it is running. Without the minimum of information it's tough to troubleshoot.

I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 bought in 2010. My computer is super slow uploading and downloading stuff all of a sudden so is there any way of speeding it up again?

I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 bought in 2010. When uploading and downloading stuff my computer is all of a sudden slower than usual. The rainbow disc is always appearing and I have to sit and wait for items to finally pop up! Can someone help me figure out how to speed up my computer again? I am just confused to why this is happening all of a sudden. Thank you.

Usually the HDD is the frist place to look. Use the original install disk and start up the MBP with the C key down. Go through the installation process until you see on the display a menu bar on top.
Click on UTILITIES.
From the drop down menu select Disk Utility.
Open Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
What are the results?

Computer running super slow and fan is constantly on

Hello, I am really hoping someone can help me. My computer is running incredibly slow, and the fan is constantly on high as soon as I turn it on. I have tried the SMC reset as I have read in other forums, but it has been an hour now and that has not seemed to work. Is there anything else I can try?

Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.

Computer is super slow and old.

I'm interested in cleaning up my Macbook Pro and wiping it clean. How can I wipe what I've got on it now and re-install Mavericks? I seem to be overlooking these steps somewhere.

Restart with the Command and R keys held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the partition with Mac OS X on it, and install a fresh OS.

Lion is super slow! Should I reinstall?

Hi,
I have a 13” MacBook Pro that has a 2.7GHz i7 processor and 4GB of RAM. I bought this June at it came pre-installed with OS X Snow Leopard. In July, I upgraded to Lion and initially, my computer just had the spinning beach ball a lot more, but a day or two later, my computer seemed like it was running as normal (I’m assuming this was due to Spotlight indexing everything).
However, of late I’ve noticed my computer is SUPER slow! I first noticed the lag in processing speed when it took five minutes to transfer 1GB to a USB flash drive. (I then transferred the files to a Windows PC and back onto the same flash drive and the entire process occurred in under a minute).It takes over two minutes to start up and anywhere between ten seconds to a minute to open a regular application (i.e. iTunes, iPhoto, Firefox, etc). And my laptop heats up a lot faster these days too!
I’ve looked around the discussion forum and tried all the suggested solutions i.e. resetting the PRAM and the SMC, verifying and repairing the disk/permissions (including the one where you have to go through the recovery partition). But nothing has helped. If anything, it's getting worse! Every time I open disk utility now it says it’ll take 4 hours to verify the disk permissions! AHHH. And it’s not like my laptop is filled with useless files, either; my hard drive capacity is 500GB and it still has 372.7GB available. Oh, and I don’t have a virus either because I’ve run the Sophos anti-virus scan three times.
Normally, I’d have taken my laptop to the Apple Store and asked them to figure it out, but I’m currently in the Philippines and they only have Apple Resellers and fake Apple Stores here. I realise it sounds ridiculous but I’m deathly afraid they are either going to kill my MBP altogether or steal my parts.
I was wondering should I completely re-install Lion? If so, how exactly would I go about doing that? I do have a Time Machine back-up of everything on my 1TB external drive, but I don’t have any back-ups prior to getting Lion because I purchased my external later. Also, if I were to re-install Lion and restore from my Time Machine back-up would all my applications still work? I have Microsoft Office 201, Adobe Pro, Photoshop, etc. and if they get uninstalled, I don’t have any of my installation CDs here!
I’d appreciate any help! If you have any ideas, comments, suggestions, anything – shoot me a response. Thank you!

Try to find out what is causing the loss of performance by starting the "Activity Monitor" (from Applications -> Utilities) and sort the processes according to real memory usage or CPU time by clicking at the column headers.
Also have a look at the free Disk space.
According to Apple the minimum hardware requirements for Lion are 2GB of RAM, but I found that not to be sufficient with the Applications I like to be running at the same time. For my workflow I needed 4 GB RAM when on SL, and with Lion I needed 8GB of RAM. The Activity monitor will tell you if you need to upgrade your RAM.
The second bottleneck with Lion is free disk space. Lion will run much more smoothly if you keep a least 10% (and a minimum of 20 GB) of your disk free.
If you find that you do need more RAM, but don't want to upgrade right now, look at the "Activity monitor" to find out which of your processes are fighting for memory and try to avoid running those together at the same time. I found that quite often Safari was eating the available memory and quitting Safari when I did not really need it did help a lot.

Léonie

Several macbook issues: date and time, constant spinning ball, super slow

I have a macbook w/ several problems. these problems started about 3 months after i got it and have continued to escalate, now becoming REAL problems.
1. The date and time always "stalls". In order to display the correct date and time i have to click on it (top right), the date and time menu appears, and it naturally resets itself to the correct time. It is not a time zone issue. I think this might happen when it falls asleep, which brings me to problem 2.
2. A lot of times when my computer falls asleep, it doesn't wake up when i open it or when i click the keypad to open. For a while this was such a normal thing that i had to take the battery out for a couple of seconds and then replace it in order for the computer to turn back on. Now, i can push the on/off key to sometimes "wake" it back up. This problem is consistent, yet it doesn't happen every time it goes to sleep. this problem happens maybe 5 times a day.
3. my computer is SUPER SLOW. Not necessarily the internet, just overall performance. Typing emails (entourage) and regular mail. Using excel and word, iphoto, etc. Switching from one program to another causes the spinning ball to appear for longer than normal.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And, i admit in advance, i am not very good at finding my way around the mac, so detailed instructions would be post appreciated! Thanks.

since you said that you are using excel and word then i'm going to guess that you also have windows on your system... your computer will not function to its full potential running another OS with only 512 of RAM.... you really need up upgrade to at least 1GB for a requirement or 2GB for a much better performance.

1. 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.

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.

HT1379 My computer I-mac is running super slow. If I zap the PRAM it goes back to running well , briefly... a few hours, then back to super slow. What is the resolution for this problem? I have a Time machine that does back up well.

My computer is running super slow. I can correct the problem briefly by zapping the PRAM but is resumes as a problem after a few hours. I have good time machine (capusle) backup daily. I have done a disk verify and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong there.
Help, this is wasting a lot of time to do simple functions.

Hard to say what's going wrong without more information. Try the troubleshooting steps in my Mac Performance Guide. Post back if you need help with any of that or questions about the results.

Super slow computer and doesn't shut down

Hi all,
I think it is only fair to come and share with you an issue I had with my 2011 Mac Pro runing on Lion 10.7.3. The computer is just a few months old. For a month or so I started experiencing a SUPER slow computer. To illustrate, it would slow down suddently and would take 10 minutes to give me the About this Mac info. After hard shutdown it would get normal again for a few hours. This happen usually while using Google Docs, and after trouble shooting and not getting anywhere... reseting power management (SMC), etc... Just to test I de-activated the Kaspersky Anti-Virus software for Mac, thinking that it may have been the cause while working on Google Docs... and it work!
One problem solve... but I run into another one. The computer would freeze after shuting down, and the screen would be gray with the little turning wheel... Every day from there I had to do the hard shutdown... not healthy for the computer of course... After re-installing the operating system, going back and forth with Apple Care Specialist (very helpful and nice people), and spending hours figuring the problem out... I decided to un-install completely the Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac, but downloading the 'free' version and using the un-installer from the package... After this my computer shuts down everytime and goes to sleep normally. This saved me from formatting the HD and doing a clean installation of Lion - which was my next step if things didn't work according to Mac support.
I still have the Kaspersky for the parallels side of the computer and that doesn't seem to be an issue. I hope this saves some people the trouble, the frustration and the MANY hours of trying to figure it what's wrong with the computer.
I have read many blogs, and articles and none of them pointed at Kaspersky... I found issues with Parallels, Office for Mac, etc but I guess after the last Lion update thing went south with the anti virus software... and of course my computer! Now we're all happy again!

Something is causing it to not shut down, more than likely some process that refuses to quit. Do all of your applications quit when you shut down or do you have to force quit any of them? You also should look in your console messages and see if perhaps there is a clue there.
When you ran Disk Utility did you get the message that the "drive appears to be o.k." or did you get some other message?
Do you have problems with freezing in general or just when you are installing applications? When you say freezes do you mean you get the spinning beachball or does it freeze and you can't do anything including moving the cursor?
Do you use a lot of widgets in Dashboard? Sometimes they will cause problems. If you have loaded any of them recently you might try removing them and see if that helps with the shutdown issue.

2000 pictures on desktop. Computer is now SUPER slow!

So the other day I was trying to transfer my 5000 photos onto my USB stick by dragging them from iphoto to my USB file. Accidently I clicked on my background and about 2000 of the photos got transfered onto my desktop instead. By the time I realized where it actually got transfered to, it was too late and 2000 was already transfered.
Now the issue is the computer is SO slow that when I log in it wont even let me delete them. Because, when I log in the loading wheel just keeps turning. I let it "warm up" for over an hour once so that I could delete it but nothing. It just freezes like that.
So how do I delete it? It's on my adminstrator account too. So i cant even delete the account either. Help?

Thank you so much. Really appreciate your help! Saved me a trip and possibly some $$ from going into the apple store to fix this.
Thanks once again!

HT1338 my computer is running super slow. what can i do

super slow imac. solutions?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.
