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.

    Will installing OS X mavericks slow down my late-2007 macbook pro? If so, is it worth it?
    I currently run OSX 10.7.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb mem.

    Does it meet the specs for Lion?
    Are your third apps compatible?
    I'd also be sure to have at least 4GB RAM and 10-15% free space on your HDD.

  • Slowing down or speeding up music?

    Iv tried numerous times to to slow down or speed up music, I assumed it was changing the tempo but that didnt work and now im at a loss of what to do, can someone help???

    I do not understand how you are not getting results after adjusting the tempo in Master track. I do it all the time to listen to note lineup and such. Go to Master Track, look for tempo and either adjust the slider or highlight the actual numerical tempo and type a new tempo setting. This will speed up or slow down the recorded material.

    The choice is yours, if you have a backup just revert to that.

  • Yes it's another Mavericks slowing down my laptop thread :)

    Hi there
    I recently installed Mavericks, just before Xmas in fact, and noticed how slow it was from the start. Now I'm back at work, it's killing me!
    First off, I had lots of problems with Mail, and something to do with Keychain (forgive me, laptop is a tool, I don't really understand how it works). I managed to get that working, although, I must say it still is slow at collecting mail from my various accounts.
    Word, well that's just hysterical. I can sit and type a few lines, sit back and watch Word catch up with me over a minute or so, then have to go back and correct my terrible typing, it's painful and un-usable. I have noted on here to rebuild my Office Database, which I've done, and it appeared to have no problems.
    So what to do? I heard about EtreCheck so have run that and will paste results below, I'm hoping that someone will spot something there that is really obvious and return me to fact Mac nirvana.
    I'm on a 2011 MacBook Pro, 2.8ghz Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM. i don't have lots of 3rd party stuff installed, but do run Photoshop, Quark, Office and a few other apps.
    Here's hoping for help, and thanks in advance!

    Your memory usage is fine. Its green.  Read this:
    About memory management in OSX 10.9 Mavericks
    Memory is managed differently, and more efficiently in 10.9.  It is (mostly) unique in the industry, but may become trend.
    Let’s start with the basics.  Mechanical disk drives are very slow, with access speeds in the 10s of milliseconds and transfer rates in the 200-400 Mbps range real world.  SSDs are much faster, on the order of a couple of ms access and typically 1200-3000 mbps transfer rates.  RAM is much faster than either, in the nanosecond access and transfer speeds of ~8 Gbps effective (1 GHz x 8 bits/byte).
    These are rough numbers for comparison purposes only.
    So the goal is to keep as much in RAM as possible. But if you run out of RAM what do you do?
    Traditionally you take the least used RAM and write it to a special part of the disk, in a way that you can access it most efficiently - minimizing the disk delays.  This is called a swap file because you swap RAM in and out of it.
    10.9 has a new trick:  it compresses RAM using the main processors.  Rather than swapping stuff to disk (disks are slow), it actually uses the processor to compress memory and make, for example, 1 GB of physical RAM hold as much as 1.5GB.  Similar approaches are used to make MP3 files 10x smaller than the real thing - there is redundancy in data and you can take advantage of that.  Apple is making the following calculation: the processors can compress way faster than the disk can swap.  And its also predicting that the processors are often partly idle - waiting for swap files or disk access.  So rather than swap files around, its compresses the files ***in RAM***.
    Compression works,.  Tests show that on average it is faster, and that 4GB (i have 4 GB RAM) acts like 5 1/2 - 6GB.  Wow.
    So, 10.9 will load up most of your RAM, knowing that it can compress some when it needs to.  So don’t worry too much that it may look like all your RAM is taken - yea, it is, but its OK.
    The measures to look at are:
    1. amount compressed. Compression means it has run out of RAM and needs more. As long as compression is low this is fine. In fact this is how 10.9 uses RAM more efficiently than 10.6,7 or 8.  Contrary to common wisdom, it requires LESS RAM than 10.8. The colored indicator tells you who this is going - green (good), yellow( iffy) and red (bad).
    2. amount swapped.  Once it cannot compress any further, or can’t do so efficiently, jot begins old-fashioned swapping.  This is a major slow-down and means you would benefit from more RAM. Tiny amounts are OK.
    here's an article by Apple - but on th pre-10.9 memory management techniques....mostly still true, but read on.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342?viewlocale=en_US
    Bottom line - compression makes 10.9 use RAM more efficiently than previous OSX versions.  It also makes the “ram used” indicator less meaningful, and mans you should monitor “compression” .
    That said, RAM has always been one of the most cost effective upgrades possible.  People spend too much on new machines and too little on more RAM.
    Hope this helps,
    Grant

  • Why did Mavericks slow down my MBP?

    Did some digging in Discussions and found that a slow-down problem is common after installing Mavericks.
    EtreCheck was recommended as a diagnostic first step. I have  a report but I am not confident to act on any items without advice. Here it is - help appreciated.

    Anything in Startup Items could be a problem. Apple declared Startup Items to be obsolete in 2006 so this is software that hasn't been updated since before then or they are following the doing the don't-update-until-it-breaks plan.
    I suggest uninstalling these problems to see if that fixes things. Always use the vendor-provided uninstaller or uninstallation instructions. Never try to do it manually. That could only make things worse. You may need to download a new installer that may come with an uninstaller. Unfortunately, installers, and especially uninstallers, are a weak point of OS X compared to Windows.

    Remove these too. iStat seems to have an invalid plist file. KeyAccess has a support link that may eventually lead you to an uninstaller.
    Launch Agents:
              [System] com.bjango.istatlocal.plist 3rd-Party support link
    Notice a trend? This is why I say to use vendor-provided uninstallers.

    Some of the same software is here. At least with Login Items, you can remove items very easily and put them back later if they prove innocent.

  • Audio will slow down with speed change, but not speed up

    I'm using FCP 6.0.6 and am trying to adjust the speed of an audio clip and some odd things are happening.
    If I change the speed of a clip to, say, 130%, the clip shortens appropriately, but the audio don't change. It just crops it off. And in the speed dialog box, the drop down menu is grayed out and Constant Speed is chosen.
    If I choose to slow down the clip, to say 75%, everything seems to work. The audio is slowed, the clip lengthens, but then I can't change it to anything else. It says slow regardless of any adjustments in the speed dialog box. I have to go back through "Undo"s to get it to change.
    Am I doing something wrong? I read some questions about this with people using FCP 7 and that seems like how mine should be working.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Well, it is an .AIFF file converted from .WAV in Quicktime. It is 187.5 megs and has a datarate of 344.5 k/sec. It is stereo at 44.1K and has a 32-bit Floating point.
    That help? I actually just was able to do the time compression in Soundtrack Pro. But I'm sure I've done it in the past directly in FCP.

  • 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.

  • Airport Time Capsule slows down internet speed while uploading app

    Hi All,
    Internet speed is going down drastically when I am submitting any iOS app to iTunes Connect.
    Previously it was not like this.
    I have updated my Macbook Pro to Mavericks and using Airport Time Capsule for wi-fi connection.
    Is anyone facing this problem? Any help on this will be very much helpful.

    I have almost the exact setup as you, and airtunes never slows down my internet connection.
    Has it just happened recently? Have you done a reset on the TC? Make sure you are using the g network, and not in the b only mode.
    You can also make sure everything on the network are getting good signal. You can check the signal strength from Airport Utility (in the logs and Stats pane).

  • Graphite slows down then speeds up

    My graphite BS (one of the very first ones) has worked great for many years. Recently, in the past month or two it has started being very very slow then going back to normal speeds then slowing down. It seems to be random--I see no patterns as to time of day, number or types of machines connected, sites being browsed, or anything else. The signal strength is always maxed out, so it's not that. If it just never connected, I would say it's done for, but sometimes it's very fast, sometimes painfully slow. Can it be slowly dying?

    I have a snow ABS, but I'm experiencing the same issue. It's worked fine for years but now here recently my internet speeds are tanking. I have a 5 Mbps cable modem but repeated bandwidth tests show that I'm getting 500 Kbps speeds or less on my PowerBook G4 1.33 Ghz. This isn't a Leopard issue because I'm still running Tiger on my iMac G4 which is plugged directly into the ABS and I get similar speeds with that. I also don't think it's a connectivity issue because I have a strong signal (3 bars usually, 4 bars sometimes) on the PowerBook, and as I said the iMac is plugged directly in. Now when I plug the cable modem directly into the iMac and run the same bandwidth test I get speeds in the 4.3 Mbps or more range.
    I'd love for there to be some setting I could tweak to restore my speeds to their usual level. Any help would be appreciated. If not, I may have to break down and cop a new ABS. Probably will go for the Airport Extreme even though my PowerBook can't take advantage of the 802.11n speeds. I also have an Airport Express on the network for iTunes streaming to my stereo and it can only do 802.11g. I thought about getting another one to replace the ABS but I can't plug the old iMac directly into it. So I would have to pop in an 802.11b card to get it on the network and that would really kill the overall network speed. So an Airport Extreme should give me 802.11g speeds with my setup, and then if I ever upgrade to a MacBook Pro ... and if Apple ever releases an Airport Express that supports 802.11n I would be in a position to get top speeds. My only concern is will I fork over $180 for an Airport Extreme only to find that it gives me dismal internet speeds as well? I hope the problem is that my ABS is just old and starting to wear out. It has been running constantly for years. But could it be something else that a new Airport Extreme won't address?

  • How to slow down and speed up a track in an arrangement re remix query

    Hi, I've been asked to do a house/dance remix for a track where the client wants the track to start at a typical dance bpm and then slow down to the original track tempo 2 minutes in, then speed back up to the dance tempo...here's an example...around 1.20 mins is where you'll see this happening...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe3xLTQrvYM
    How do I do this in Logic 9? I'm clueless...

    you can set tempos in the Tempo List which is under the Options menu. In That window there is another options menu where the tempo operations window lives. You can set locators between which you can do tempo fades up or down.
