Does aperture slow down your computers?

I downloaded aperture on my macbookpro, I have a 3.06 processor but it sure runs slow now. Is this common or is there something amiss with my macbookpro?

As an Aperture user, I can attest to wjostens suggestion. Though the application is somewhat of a resource pig, it runs fine on my MBP, but I do have 8Gb of RAM installed. (2.66 i7 CPU).
Ciao.

Does a partition for Boot Camp slow down your system?

I'm gonna make a partition on my disk for bootcamp. Does adding a partition slow down your system when using Mac OS? I assume boot camp assistant creates a partition wherever there is enough required free space. And if this free space is in the middle of the disk, doesn't the system have to skip back and forth over the partition to access data?
Or does boot camp assistant create the partition at the end of the disk?
Thanks for your replies.

Boot Camp partition is generally created at the end of the disk so to speak. While the partition is created, files are moved and arranged so that there is a contiguous space for the partition.
NO it does not affect the OSx performance at all as long as you have enough free space in the OSx partition for it to perform satisfactorily.

How to find out what is slowing down your wireless speed

The first thing you need to do is when setting up your wireless internet is do it right from the beginning. For starters unplug and remove the batteries from all the cordless phones. If you have a wireless door bell or a repeater shut it off and unplug it.. Anything that is wireless in your house needs to be turned off. This also includes cell phones, Ipad's and Ipod's.This thing of telling the homeowner that the mircowave is causing problem is hog wash. But don't have it running while you are setting this up. In other words nothing in your house should be running including the AC and heat. Anything that is pulling hi amperage should be shut down during the set up. Now unplug all cables on the router except for your computer cable and power supply to the router. Hold the reset button in long enough to clear all settings. Now you are ready to set this up right. Sign into your router and go to My Network, if it is showing something other that your main frame computer you still have something on that the router is picking up. Find it and turn if off and reset the router again. Once everything is cleaned and the only this showing up is the computer you are ready. Now go to Speed Net or what ever you check your speed with and write down your average speed. Do three or four speed test to get the average reading. BTW, clear all cookies before you check your speed. Now go back into your router settings and rename you computer to what ever so you won't get that IP address confused with the rest of your hook up. Next take only one of your wireless devices and turn it on. Once the router picks it up rename it and put the security code on for that device to connect to the wireless device. It should also show it as being a wireless device. Also if all your devices can except performance mode go for it because the speeds will always be faster. Also start selecting one channel at a time to find the one that has the fastest speed. Try doing this close to the router, like in the same room. If you are using the performance mode your upload and download should be close to your wired connection. Now go to different parts of the house. You will see some drops but that is normal. Don't do this test on a PS3 or a WII because those speeds will always be slow no matter what you do. All Apple products won't work with Speed Net. Once you get connected to the internet it is always better to go back into your router and write down the assigned IP address and the IP address to the router sign in and manually put them in to each device. Always remember the higher security setting you can set you the faster the speed will be. Do each device as said in the above way. Something else you also might want to do is after you have set up each wireless device go back into your router setting under Wireless settings and disable SSID Broadcast. Only thing this will do is make it to where nobody can see your wireless connection. That way when someone wants to hack your router they won't be able to see it...ya can't hack what ya can't see....lol. Once you get all said wireless devices set up and connected then go back and start turning on phones...ect..ect. If you are truly getting interference you will be able to change the channel on either that device or change the channel on the router for that device. Most of the devices in this day and time should be able to except the 802.11n or the next letter down.The bad thing about the newest Verizon router is the security is still outdated for the PS3. Part two of this is Sony is still using a crap-o-la wireless internet receiver, as a result I don't care what cha do unless you hard wire it in and that still only helps some. Also this thing of putting your router on the window seal or up near the ceiling is also poo poo. If this was a true case why not just hook up a High Def antenna in the room...lol Also this thing of stating don't put the router near a wall is also doo doo. Their would have to be a load of copper wire in that wall to prevent a signal from going through it. If you think about it all wall electrical outlets are wired low to the floor. They take one room and wire them all together. They don't wire it up and down the walls. So most rooms have the wiring a foot from the floor.The most wire you will find in a house at one location is at the circuit breaker box and the box should be on a outside wall in the garage. In older homes like the 40's and 50's some are in the kitchen or a bedroom closet. On the older homes try and steer clear of those locations. Now if you are getting interference from something in your home this will be a easy way to find it. One thing Verizon needs to stop telling it's customer and that is if you get a faster speed which is more money it will correct your wireless problem...hog wash Once you spend your hard earned money and sign the contract, they forget to tell you they only guarantee that speed if it is hard wired...lol for some reason they always forget that part.

I forgot to suggest one more thing. On your computer go to start/ run/ type in MSCONFIG and go all the way to the right and click start up and then at the bottom select disable all and then reboot. Windows will only load what it need to operate. After that go back into MSCONFIG and go back to the start up and put a check into what ever security program you are using and reboot. Everything will still work fine. The only thing you are doing here is not running all the programs each time you turn your computer on.What this will do if you do this is it will start programs faster and it also is less wear and tear on your pooter. If you want to see what I am talking about go here>> http://www.blackviper.com/ and he will explain and show in full detail what I am talking about as far as being robbed by unnecessary programs running in the back ground. He will also explain the correct way of disabling things that you will never use. MS is set up for remote operation. Like calling your pooter from a phone which I am pretty sure most don't use that feature. If you want to see what happens when you go to any site while surfing download the free copy of CrapCleaner, run it and let it remove all the internet clutter and cookies, then go to one site and close IE down and rerun CrapCleaner again. You will then see what is really slowing down your internet speed. If you are using Windows 7 or 8 you need to go to Control Panel/ Taskbar and Start Menu/ then select Start menu again/ Customize/ and scroll down to Run Command and check it. Now you will be able to see the run command. I don't know why MS removed that feature.

Aperture slows down on edited files

Hi folks, i run Aperture 2.1.2 on a 13" MacBook 2,4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM.
I noticed a loss of performance on both referenced and managed files as they get edited, especially when added of sharpen and enhance adjustments: the more adjustments they get the more Aperture slows down, especially annoying is scrolling through a 100% zoomed photo, with the movement delayed by 2/3 seconds...
There's actually a difference between referenced and managed files, as managed ones respond a bit better, but still not as an original one.
P.S. all masters are on the internal drive.
Thanks for any suggestion...

cwog is correct about the overhead for displaying edited master images, but I disagree with his suggestion to export to view images. I suggest you use "Quick Preview" to display photos with minimal delay (use "P" as shortcut to turn on and off). You need to make sure you generate a preview automatically and set the size and quality under "Preferences --> Preview." Previews do not require the calculations for display as does the edited master image. Display time is much quicker.

What is this all about? "The "QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6" plug-in is slowing down your Mac. You can wait for it to recover or stop it now." I'm running Mavericks 6.8.

I regularly get a prompt reading as follows: "The "QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6" plug-in is slowing down your Mac. You can wait for it to recover or stop it now." I've tried waiting, but nothing happens. I "stop it now" and lose the page I'm reading.

Extreme: does it slow down other users?

Does another computer, plugged into the Extreme base station and not wireless, get slowed down any? Or does the flow from pc to Internet pass through the base station without hindrance? My husband tells me it slows down his computer with we use the Extreme as a wireless and a regular router? Anyone know the answer... I'd love to hook it back up, even though it is very slow with the wireless connection.
Thanks.

if user has B/G and N devices then yes the network will slow to the slowest device used at the time. A way around this is to use two routers. The secondary router must be placed in bridge mode(use Airport Utility "manual" to set it. Set the main router for 5 GHZ N speed and the secondary for 2.4 GHZ N+B/G speed. Tell your husband to use the appropriate router set for his speed device. You use the other.

For people with an unlimited data plan...does it slow down for you after 2GB?

Ive had my unlimited data plan since i joined AT&T back in 2008 when i bought the iPhone 3G...ive been able to keep it for my current iPhone 4 and now ill be upgrading to iPhone 5 and was wondering if anyone else with an unlimited data plans suffers slowing down of data after 2GB? it mite b more than 2GB but it def does slow down...will this continue to happen or it is it just me?

Click the "what you need to know". If you exceed 3GB you will be throttled, and you should receive a text message about it the first time you go over.

Major Aperture slow-down all of a sudden

All of a sudden, I'm having performance problems with Aperture. I'm running a Dual-core 2.3GHz G5 with 4.5GB of RAM and a GeForce 7800GT, so this shouldn't be a hardware problem. It seems to be a problem when it's trying to display a lot of images. It will slow down immensely, even to the point where I cannot scroll. The really weird part is when the toolbar item images disappear. Anyone have any idea why this would happen? Thanks

Had the same problem today. It started out fast then after several hours of work it slowly started to get slower and slower until it finally just stopped responding. Restart got it going again but it was still pretty slow. Almost like it was building a cache or scratch file that kept getting larger and slowing the program down.
That was on the DP 2.0 G5 not the Quad

Does Maverick slow down processor speed on iMac 2007?

Ever since the update on Maverick 9.1 I been experiencing very slow reponse in all of my applications, especially Safari. I tried memory clean, disk doctor, and hard drive test which show nothing really. Activity monitor shows I got about 1 GB of ram that is available when running Safari. I tried other browers with the same rainbow circle that safari has. Is it a virus? Or is my computer so old that apple is trying to force me to upgrade? (BTW, I've got 3 GB of ram and 54 GB of hard drive space avalible- and I ordered more ram to make a total of 4 GB of ram).

RAM could be one of the issues with your slower Mac performance.
You are starting to get a little low on hard drive space. 54 GBs is still alright, just need to keep an eye on this when your drives gets to 20 GBs or lower.
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
If you have any commercially advertised antivirus software installed, completely uninstall this per the instructions on the developer's website.
Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of so called hard drive "cleaning" or " tune up" style apps? These are a form of malware/"crapware".
Delete anything like this per the instructions on the developer's website.

Does Gnome slow down?

I've been using Gnome ever since I started with Linux.
I tried Openbox and KDE, but I can safely venture that those experiences lasted less than 5 hours (together).
So my question is this; have any Gnome users here felt Gnome kinda slow down after a while?
I know this depends a lot on the software you use, but it seemed to me on my previous distro - things like GIMP and window borders just started lagging after a while. (I asked my brother, he just told me to switch to Arch...)
Somewhere on Gnome Look, a guy claimed that the Murrine engine was much snappier than Clearlooks. I've tried it out (and I really like it), but I'm not sure if it's the solution I'm looking for.

Can you get more data to help on our diagnosis?
When it feels slow, check CPU usage, memory use (cached and not chached), etc... I recomend "top" for that. Gnome is not more than a desktop, a panel, and some DBus session services running in the background. Changing it for a light WM, like Openbox, don't matter how much people say, only improves memory usage, not how snappier it feels.
Those lags are mostly related to bad Gtk+ themes, some bad app eating your CPU time, or running a compositor (Compiz, etc.) with VSync on.

Is your ios 8 slowing down your device a lot and make it unusable?Read this !

So lot of people told me that their ios 8 is slowing down their performance...Well im happy to tell you that this monday will be released the IOS 8.1 with a lot of bug fixes.So just wait for this monday

I already watched the ENTIRE Keynote.
The only mention was improvements in iOS 8.1 and additions like iCloud Photo Library.
There was no mention of what these "improvements" are going to be and whether or not this is good news for lPad 2 or 3 owners.
So, again, like I stated,we'll have to wait until Monday and see.
Still a a big question mark to what iOS 8.1 will or will not correct.

Does the most recent OS X v10.6 update slow down your computer?

When I first upgraded to Snow Leopard, it felt like Christmas: I got disk space back and my Mac seemed faster and more responsive.
But after I installed the latest updates (I believe it was OS X v10.6.2 and a firmware upgrade), things have not been so rosy:
- there is a noticeable delay when I modify the volume via keyboard keys, this used to instantaneous, now it's like a 1 second lag
- switching applications takes longer, balking at the animation of switching between spaces
- apps in Fusion jam up much more frequently
As far as I can tell, my usage patterns haven't changed at all, and I really did start noticing it from my first use of new updates.
Is anyone else experiencing something similar? I'm not too sure how to diagnose and fix this. It's too bad, because I was really enjoying the performance improvements from Snow Leopard, and now the responsiveness benefit seems gone.

Here are some fixes for general slowness that have worked for others. Ignore any you already have tried and any you don't want to try. Try the possible fixes in the order you prefer.
1. If you are running iAntivirus, then uninstall it.
2. Try [resetting your PRAM/NVRAM|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US]. If everything isn't fixed, then follow the [steps here including resetting your SMC if necessary|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543].
3. Look in User > Library > StartupItems and in System > Library > StartupItems. Move whatever you find in them to the desktop to see if your problem is resolved. You can move whatever you want back one at a time to test which, if any, is your problem.
4. Use [Preferential Treatment|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22790] to repair your user preferences.
5.
a. Create a new user
b. Test apps to see that they work with no crashing.
c. Drag your data and other needed things (e.g., mail) (not your whole home folder) into their proper places in your new user home folder. Use [this guide|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507] to know what to drag.
d. Re-enter your app preferences if you are going to keep using the new user.
e. If you want to use the old user name, then delete the old account; recreate it; and move everything back to the original locations.
f. You will need to fix the permissions, app settings, etc.
6. Go back to 10.6. You can do so simply by reinstalling Snow over Snow as in doing an upgrade install.
7. Reinstall .6.1 and .6.2 using [only the combo updater|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959].
