Firefox becomes very sluggish after several hours of usage

In the past 2 weeks, after several hours of use, firefox becomes very sluggish. Cannot switch tabs easily. Cannot type emails easily, etc. If reboot computer, works fine at first, but again, after several hours, becomes sluggish again. This happens to both my computers which are on a network. A technician suggested a virus, but have not seen any virus messages. Use AVG 2013 virus software.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

IMac very slow after several hours of use, esp. when using Photoshop

Hi all,
I have a fairly new iMac (mid-2008 20" model) with a 2.4ghz Intel processor. I am a web designer and use this machine every day for my work. Several months after installing Adobe Creative Suite 3, I noticed that Photoshop was causing the cursor to jump and/or become jerky, as if the video card or processor were not keeping up with what's going on. This tends to happen after the computer's been in use for several hours or days after a restart. I have been following this in Leopard's Activity Monitor, and I noticed that Photoshop (being memory- and processor- hungry) taxes the processor more heavily than many other programs, which I expected. The strange thing, though, is that over time the Activity Monitor shows the "System" as taking up more and more processor capacity. I.E. when I first start up, the system is using 0-20% of the processor, the rest being available for the user; but after awhile, the system is requiring 50-90% of processor capacity, the result being that as soon as I switch into Photoshop from another program, the system is immediately overtaxed and starts moving very slowly (especially the cursor, as I said).
Now, here's the really strange part. As I said, this began happening a few months after I first installed Adobe CS3. I re-installed the software at Adobe's recommendation, and it was fine for another few months, but it began happening a few days ago, which is exactly the same time I shared a jump drive with a friend's worm-infected Windows XP machine. I know Macs don't get Windows worms, but is it possible that this thing has lodged itself on my system somehow and is causing it to run generally more slowly?
I appreciate any help you can give,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
How much free disk space is available? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is way better.
Not enough disks space could certainly slow your Mac down.

Mac can't read Windows files, so a file from the jump drive shouldn't be an issue unless you are running Windows on your Mac? via Boot Camp?
If you don't have a disk utility that can clear log and caches files, get TinkerTool available here;
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11967
Check your boot disk for errors: Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Select your disk, and click First Aid.
Click Verify Disk.
If the disk needs repairs, do one of the following:
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer using Remote Install Mac OS X. Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk.

Touch-pad stop working after several hours using the laptop

i have bought a new lenovo m30-70 and the touch-pad freezing after working several hours with the laptop.the driver is elan pointing device.after restarting the laptop it works again for several hours normally and then again the touchpad stops working. i tried to install the driver again but it stays the same.

Hi Kiril87,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with the touchpad in your M30-70 laptop.
Try to boot the system to safe mode and check for the issue, also check the issue in different applications. Try to uninstall the driver an check with windows basic drivers.
If still the issue persists try to reinstall the operating system and check for the issue, before reinstalling the operating system please take a data backup.
Also try to connect the external mouse and check for the issue.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!
Best regards,

FF4 starts using all of available CPU after several hours, needs reboot.

This used to happen in the previous release version of FF, and it's apparently still the case in FF4.
Everything works fine after I start FF4. I have 50+ tabs open and visible through TabMixPlus and FF is fast and snappy just like I want it to be, but after several hours (most often when I come back to the PC in the morning) it starts hogging too much CPU. I don't care so much for memory, I have plenty of that to spare, but once it maxes out a core once per second, FF completely slows down about that often and becomes completely unusable. I have to reboot it every time to fix that.

recently bought a samsung NX30 camera which came with lightroom 5, after several hours of googling i got it setup properly with the correct camera raw to be able to access my raw images. I found my old laptop was very slow when processing the hundreds of images I usually take on a weekly basis. I bought a new faster laptop but when I looked for the cd with the software and serial I could not find it in the Xmas clutter. I downloaded a trial version of lightroom and got it working on my new laptop. Is there a way to access the serial number from my previously installed version and insert it into the trail version to make it work for me?
Myron

Mea culpa
While i registered all my cs2 thru 6 versions and my lightroom 2 thru 4 versions and recorded the serials and saved the adobe registration emails. Since this came as a freebee with the camera i neglected this vital step. I have the instslled version on my old laptop but want to install it on my new one. Thanks to Jim Hess I got the serial so all is well in my world and I will register it with ADOBE

Why did my iMac fan come on very noisy after 1 hour of use ? I had to turn it off to stop it

Just updated details - os x 10.8.5 .....
found an answer that could have been problem with CPU and a runaway application (possibly Bin Weevils) which my son was running at the time. I shall check the activity monitor next time to see what percentage cpu is being used..

Is it getting hot only when charging?
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

I got my 2nd iphone 5s brand you, it s getting very hot after 10 min of usage

I got my 2nd iphone 5s brand you, it s getting very hot after 10 min of usage

It means take it back to where you bought it from. If you don't want to do that you'll have to be more specific like how long you've had the phone and how you are using the phone when it gets hot. That kind of information. The more we know about the phone the easier it is to diagnose and offer suggestions.

Just received iPhone 6 and it's burning hot after 3 min use

I pre-ordered iPhone 6 from Verizon and received it on 9/19/2014. After I activated the phone, the phone already became very hot. I stopped using it, it cooled down a little bit. When I used it again, it was heating again. Is it defective?

You will always be asked to update your device to the latest iOS. This is standard procedure for any issue or problem which occurs with any device. If you ever read any support articles from Apple for troubleshooting problems, the first thing that is always listed is to make sure you are running the latest version of the software. You'd be amazed at how often this resolves the issue. If it does not in your case, then that particular piece of the troubleshooting process has been executed and proven not to be contributing.
That's why they asked you to upgrade. Hope it all turns out for the best.

JRE / JWS failure after several hours

I encountered a strange problem when trying to login to a SquirrelMail application that only occured with three out of seven browsers I use for testing. After making sure that all cookie and security settings were the same in all browsers, I happened to notice that in the failing three, there were some error messages shown in the Javascript console.
So I thought it would be a good time to make sure my JRE was up to date. I installed the latest level, but that didn't help. Then Inoticed the Java Web Start package (but didn't notice that it was supposed to be part of the JRE). I downloaded and installed that, and the three browsers started handling the login properly.
However, after several hours all three started failing again.
I repeated the JWS installation, and they worked...for a few more hours.
I repeated this cycle several times, and it was always the same: the login page was processed normally for several hours only after a reinstallation of the JWS package.
The browsers that are failing are: IE, Opera and Firefox. The ones that are not affected by this are NetScape, K-Meleon and Slim Browser.

but i kept on having download failure.
May be your internet connection ...

My iPod shut off randomly and will no longer turn back on. I plugged it in to charge it, but after several hours it will not turn back on. What should I do?

My iPod turn off randomly. I plugged it in to the charger, and after several hours, it still will not turn on. I even plugged it into my computer and pulled up iTunes, where it showed up on the screen as plugged in, but still it will not turn back on. Any suggestions on what I should do?

- First try resetting the iPOd:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes, first from backup and if still problem to factory defaults/new iPod.
