Downloading movies on Apple TV have become very slow lately. Previously an HD movie could be downloaded in less than a minute. I have an internet with speeds up to 30MPS. Latest generation of Apple TV and software up to date. Any suggestions.

Recently in the last 2-3 weeks, I've noticed that downloading a movie from iTunes via Apple TV has become painfully slow. Previuosly, I could download an HD movie in less than a minute. My internet speed is 30MPS. I installed the lastest Apple TV software. Nothing else has changed. I have the latest generation Apple TV.Is anybody else having a similar problem? Appreciate any ideas.

The limitation of approximately 200 titles has been discussed before, we can't be sure whether it will be something that gets fixed or not. I'm not really sure what your other issues are, if I use search instead of lists, I find whatever I want and am able to rent or purchase subject to those options being available for that particular title.

My MacBook has become very slow to start up. What could be slowing it down?

My MacBook is now very slow to start up. What could be causing this and what is a way to repair?
Thanks, Chris

Hello Chris,
A variety of things could be causing the slow startup. The first place I would look is at the Login items on your MacBook to see if there are items in this list that are set to automatically start. Having applications automatically start will increase startup time. This article has the steps to do this:
Mac OS X 10.6: If items automatically open when you log in
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6811
The steps from the article should work for Mac OS X 10.4-10.8; the only difference in Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.8 is that the Accounts icon is named Users & Groups:
To permanently prevent items from opening at login:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Accounts.
Click Login Items.
Select any items you don’t want to open automatically, and then click the "-" button.
If you are still experiencing a slow startup after that, you might want to try the steps in the following article:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

I hope this helps!

Safari and iTunes somehow have become very slow

I am not sure that it is because of my upgrade to 10.5.6 but it feels like it started at the same time. Safari has become very very slow on most of the pages, and don't finish loading some pages (after 2 minutes). It is so bad that exactly the same pages ( I have tested about 20 of them) are up to 10 times faster on Firefox. I have the same performance issues with navigating in iTunes. I have used the maintenance scripts from Onyx not later than today and it did not change anything. Does anybody has the same issue ? Found a solution ?
Thank you in davance.

Thank you very much iBod, you did point the finger to the correct problem. This is a DNS issue which is the result of two bugs, one of them appears to be Leopard 10.5.6 but it is only affected because of an issue in my DSL/WLAN Router. The latest FritzBox router which you will mainly see in Germany and Austria are affected by this issue. The issue has been made public, and there will be a fix in the next few days. If you set the DNS servers like described in iBod solution, you will definitely have a workaround that works.
Thank you again for your help.

Downloads have seemed very slow lately...with a lot of buffering on videos etc.

I realize this could be any number of things but does anyone have any suggestions about trouble shooting my system to make sure that's not the problem? Leopard 10.6.8

What a mess. Ok so I ckecked out MacKeeper and supposedly ran a scan on my computer that came back with critical issues. I used MacKeeper to clean but of course it won't really clean unless you purchase. Now my browser is mess up so that FaceBook and YouTube won't display properly and on top of that it's still hanging. Safari seems to be working but I use Firefox as my default. Can I back up to where I was before I downloaded MacKeeper?

Apple TV streaming is very slow on iPhone 4S recorded movies only

I have a second generation apple TV and it works great with renting movies and streaming from my computer's library. However, it is extremely slow uploading movies recorded on my Iphone 4S. It doesn't matter if my Iphone 4s movie is streaming from my computer's library or directly from my phone it takes several minutes to buffer just a 1 minute video clip. Is anyone else having this same issues?

Clandherr, I'm having the same issue. Streaming a 1:43 video I recorded from my Iphone 4S took 10 minutes to Airplay onto my Apple TV 3G. I've also experienced lag when it comes to YouTube and Vevo videos. I've checked my Network Configuration on my Apple TV and I've got a great signal and I'm using the Apple Extreme as a wireless router with 5Mhz speed. My internet speed is super fast as well. Not sure what the heck is going on.

Time Machine backups have become very slow

My time machine backups to a USB attached external drive (dedicated to backups) have recently slowed horribly. They are taking timeframes like 30 minutes to even an hour even when nothing has changed on my system. They didn’t do that previously (usually just a couple of minutes for same).
Console ouput below. I see MDS errors. What are those? Are they a concern?
I have run Disk Utility on both my hard drive and the time machine drive and they look okay.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the 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.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

My internet has become very slow on Macbook Pro

I don't know what happened but since few days my internet has become very slow on all sites It takes ages for a youtube video to be played. I sometimes to refresh a page for it to appear.
Safari, Firefox and Chrome all 3 have become very slow.
I tried changing my wireless internet 3 times but all the time it is slow.
I have had my laptop for more than 3 years now.

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.
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.

Mavericks install freezes "less than a minute" and initialized two MacBooks at forced restart

Tonight I finally decided to install Mavericks in a new MacBook Air 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7, and an older MacBook Pro 15", were Mountain Lion was previously installed.
In both macs the install process freezed at "less than a minute" for long time, too long, so that I wrongly decided to force shut down, and when I restarted both macs were initialized as brand new machine, with all prevoius data lost...
Luckily I have time machine back-up of both and now I am recovering from it.
Maybe I am wrong to force quit from install process, but how can it be that I encountered the same situation in two machines?
I also encountered the same less than a minute issue with Mountain Lion when I moved data from the older MacBook Pro to the new Air, but after shutting off, the Air started to work correctly.
What the **** is this freezing status? I am not sure I will be trying again to install Mavericks since I get a solution for this. And I am very frustrated not to see Mac stuff runnning smoothly as ever.

I did two installs and with each one when it stated less than one minute it took 10. Need to patient and it will finish. Something wrong with the timing indicator i guess.

3 year old iMac 24 running OS10.7.4. After it has been on for a day or so, it stops going to sleep and becomes very slow. This only happens when Safari is running. Quitting Safari solves the problem. Has anyone else have the same problem?

3 year old iMac 24 running OS 10.7.4. After it has been on for a day or so, it stops going to sleep and becomes very slow. This only happens when Safari is running. Quitting Safari solves the problem. Has anyone else have the same problem? Does not happen on MacBookpro only on iMac.

Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

I have a mac 15" non retina and i didn't upgrade it to mavericks .. when i run photoshop my pc becomes very slow and i don't know why!! the performance on photoshop is up to 70% so i think is good .. what is the problem?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

I have a Gotality Heart Monitor accessory and my iPhone 4 is not reading it. I restored the phone and cleaned out the 30 pin jack and still no luck. Any suggestions without going to a apple store. Thanks

I recieved a gotality heart monitor accessory and my iPhone doesn't read the accessory when attached to phone. The accessory works on my friends iPhone 4, so the accessory works. I restored my phone and cleaned out the 30 pin jack and still no luck. Any suggestion without going to the apple store. Thanks.

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

After downloading OS X Mountain Lion, my mac has become very slow

After downloading OS X Mountain Lion, my mac has become very slow and takes a bit to shut down programmes. What can i do to bring it back up to the speed it was when i had OS X Lion

Though I wish it were true, it is unrealistic to put 200+ new features into OS X and expect Mountain Lion to run faster and more efficient than Lion on the same hardware. I moved up from Lion to Mountain Lion. Mine is slowing down, but not very slow, as you mentioned. Safari and Mail are simply swine on launch. Check the following:
Patience. If you are impatient and detail alters your mood, take your MBP to the Apple Genius bar.
CPU. If you have a supported, but older MBP, your CPU may be showing its age.
Memory. 4GB or 8GB in your MBP? Mountain Lion drinks more than Lion and if you run multiple large memory footprint applications, 4GB will be a performance bottleneck. My HD3000 graphics takes 512MB. Check the System Information report for your memory. Is it OK?
Compatibility. Sometimes, hardware peripherals and applications are not entirely compatible with a new OS release, and divert OS performance to system log entries. A symptom is a large (> 2GB) system log file at /var/log/system.log. I just discovered a bad USB hub this way. Unplug everything and evaluate your performance again. Zero [ # > /var/log/system.log] the log file if you have the permissions.
Permissions. Launch Disk Utility and verify/repair Disk Permissions on your Mountain Lion disk. While there, might as well Verify Disk too.
Preferences. Sometimes, older preferences do not play well with upgraded application compatibility for a new OS release. It might be worthwhile to delete the specific preference and its lock file from Lion.
Caches. As routine, just before I shutdown the system, I will move the contents of /Users/name/Library/Caches to the Trash. I tolerate Adobe Flash and use their preferences panel to delete all Flash content. Then on reboot, I delete the Trash. Application performance improves as a result.
File Directory. Everytime that I upgrade OS X and run the retail Disk Warrior 4.4, it reports 25% storage fragmentation. Repairing and rebuilding the File Directory always restores noticeable I/O performance.
Storage. If within your budget, upgrade to an SSD. Otherworld Computing has MBP SSD solutions.
Applications. Some non-Apple applications may need recompilation for Mountain Lion, or behavior may be questionable. I compile my own MacVim editor from github sources. The same 64-bit binary that was compiled with XCode 4.3 on Lion, misbehaved on Mountain Lion. Rebuilt it with XCode 4.4 and worked fine.

My MacBook Pro keeps freezing and has become very slow...can anyone help???

Please can anyone help.....this past month my MacBook Pro keeps freezing and showing the beach ball....its also become very slow.
I still have lots of memory.
But this message is showing when i go to applications- utilities and console...
27/01/2013 22:41:39
kernel
disk0s2: I/O error.
does anyone know what this means and how can I fix it?
It seems to freeze more when I use the finger pad to move the mouse?
Its becoming very annoying especially when I'm trying to watch a programme on bbc iplayer.
Many Thanks

Your hard disk is failing and requires replacement. Replacement is not terribly expensive and can be performed by someone sufficiently adept with computer repair. If that's not you, an Apple Store can perform the replacement.
Back up your data ASAP.

MBP has become very slow and unresponsive

MBP has become very slow and unresponsive even when I'm typing. When playing media it skips to the point that I can not listen to ANY of my music files with out it pausing every few seconds. The movies freeze and skip as well. I've ran the disk veryfication, started in safe mode and even deleted the catches. Now Im lost and dont know what els I can do. Help anyone??
I have OS X Lion 10.7.5 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 with 750GB that has more than 50% of free storage.

hey clinton.. so i did as you suggested and here are the results... hope it tells you something

Downloading movies on Apple TV have become very slow lately. Previously an HD movie could be downloaded in less than a minute. I have an internet with speeds up to 30MPS. Latest generation of Apple TV and software up to date. Any suggestions.
