External job runs slow

I have an external job which runs a shell script which copies a small file from one directory to another.
This script takes 100 ms to run when executed from shell, but takes 2 whole seconds when being executed through the external job.
The job uses a program with two arguments (from_dir, to_dir).
Before I dive into tracing and analyzing the job session, does anyone have experience with this scenario?

Hi,
This may be caused by slow process creation time on the OS. If this is the case there may not be much you can do about this if it is just process creation overhead.
Thanks,
Ravi.

  • EIMAdaptiveProcessingService is unreponsive and Dataservice job run slow down

    Hi all,
    I have a BO DS 4.0 SP3 installed on Win SQL Server 2008 R2 and IPS 4.0.
    The CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 0 @ 2.20GHz 2.19 GHz(4 processors) with 16GB RAM.
    Since several weeks, the new DS job run in the production. the job run sometimes during 1hour and sometimes during 5hours.
    when it run more than 2 hours, we find BODS service do nothing during serval hours. I found there is some errors "WebIntelligenceProcessingServer' is being marked as down because it is unresponsive" in the event viewer.

    Hello Xin SUN,
    Try checking whether any other database application running at the back end.
    when that particular job is running see the CPU usage, if it is high try to find which process takes lot of memory.

  • Background job running slow

    Hi,
    Suppose any background job is taking much more time than required so how to speed up the job without chaning the master data.
    Regards,
    Prabhat Sahay

    Hello,
    If your job is a DP job, please refer to SAP note 864950 and follow the suggestions in the note.
    Basically. there're following points:
    1)If the job is relevant to planning book/data view, make sure only needful key figures are loaded in the data view.
    2)Macros should only be executed on detailed level, except when aggregate level execution is also necessary.
    3)Try not to use navigational attributes.
    4)Make sure the consisteny of the planning area by:
       /sapapo/ts_lcm_reorg
       /sapapo/ts_lcm_cons_check
    5)If you use fixed aggregates, they may affect the performance very much.
       Try to deactivate them and run /sapapo/ts_lcm_cons_check before the job (if the job changes relevant data).
       Then activate and fill the fixed aggregates afterwards.
    Best Regards,
    Ada

  • External job creation ORA-27370

    Hi Team,
    In oracle documentation it is mentioned
    The CREATE EXTERNAL JOB privilege is required for database users who want to execute jobs that run on the operating system outside the database. By default, this privilege is granted to all users who have been granted the CREATE JOB privilege.
    So as per documentation it is not mandatory to be sysdba could yo please make sure the user who run the job is having  CREATE EXTERNAL JOB privilege
    However although user has CREATE EXTERNAL JOB
    running the following
    When running the following statement below:

    enabled => TRUE,

    b. Change permissions to 755 /tmp/run_test.sh
    c. Execute the script and confirm that the file /tmp/run_test.log is created.
    d. As sys execute:

  • Running External jobs in Oracle 10g using a different user ID

    Hi,
    i would like to run an external job ( shell script ) in oracle scheduler using a Unix user id other than nobody and oracle. is it possible to do that? if so please provide more information. I am currently using oracle version 10.2.0.4.0

    Sure,
    no problem at all, if you have no problem with the fact that all jobs that run from your ORACLE_HOME use the same account. I would prefer to upgrade to 11.1.0.7 and use the new remote exteral jobs with credentials.
    For oracle 10g you have to modify $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora and change the run_user and run_group to what ever you want to use.
    regards,

  • Copying between FAT-32 external drives in Tiger running slow!!!!!!!!!

    Hey everyone. I have two FW800 drives daisy-chained into my Powerbook 1.5 GHz. I'm copying these folders of TARGA files (granted, these folders have 1000's of files) from one FAT-32 partitioned drive to another drive but it's running slower than anything. I'm having the hardest time making any real progress. Anyone have any clues at to what to do? Is there a way I can make it move faster? I've been working on it for days.

  • Guide to External Jobs on 10g with dbms_scheduler e.g. scripts,batch files

    GUIDE TO RUNNING EXTERNAL JOBS ON 10g WITH DBMS_SCHEDULER
    NOTE: Users using 11g should use the new method of specifying a credential which eliminates many of the issues mentioned in this note.
    This guide covers several common questions and problems encountered when using
    dbms_scheduler to run external jobs, either on Windows or on UNIX.
    What operating system (OS) user does the job run as ?
    External jobs which have a credential (available in 11g) run as the user
    specified in the credential. But for jobs without credentials including
    all jobs in 10gR1 and 10gR2 there are several cases.
    - On UNIX systems, in releases including and after 10.2.0.2 there is a file $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora . All external jobs not in the SYS schema and with no credential run as the user and group specified in this file. This should be nobody:nobody by default.
    - On UNIX systems, in releases prior to 10.2.0.2 there was no "externaljob.ora" file. In this case all external jobs not in the SYS schema and with no credential run as the owner and group of the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/extjob file which should be setuid and setgid. By default extjob is owned by nobody:nobody except for oracle-xe where it is owned by oracle:oraclegroup and is not setuid/setgid.
    - On Windows, external jobs not in the SYS schema and with no credential run as the user that the OracleJobScheduler Windows service runs as. This service must be started before these jobs can run.
    - In all releases on both Windows and UNIX systems, external jobs in the SYS schema without a credential run as the oracle user.
    What errors are reported in SCHEDULERJOB_RUN_DETAILS views ?
    If a job fails, the first place to look for diagnostic information is the SCHEDULERJOB_RUN_DETAILS set of views. In 10gR2 and up the first 200 characters of the standard error stream is included in the additional_info column.
    In all releases, the error number returned by the job is converted into a
    system error message (e.g. errno.h on UNIX or net helpmsg on Windows) and that
    system error message is recorded in the additional info column. If there is no
    corresponding message the number is displayed.
    In 11g and up the error number returned by the job is additionally recorded in
    the error# column. In earlier releases 27369 would always be recorded in the
    error# column.
    Generic Issues Applicable to UNIX and Windows
    - The job action (script or executable) must return 0 or the job run will be marked as failed.
    - Always use the full pathname to executables and scripts.
    - Do not count on environment variables being set in your job. Make sure that the script or executable that your jobs runs sets all required environment variables including ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, PATH etc.
    - It is not recommended to pass in a complete command line including arguments as the action. Instead it is recommended to pass in only the path to and name of the executable and to pass in arguments as job argument values.
    - Scripts with special characters in the execution path or script name may give problems.
    - Ensure that the OS user your job runs as has the required privileges/permissions to run your job. See above for how to tell who the job runs as.
    - External job actions cannot contain redirection operators e.g. > < >> | && ||
    - In general try getting a simple external job working first e.g. /bin/echo or ipconfig.exe on Windows. Also try running the job action directly from the commandline as the OS user that the job will run as.
    Windows-specific Issues
    - The OracleJobScheduler Windows service must be started before external jobs will run (except for jobs in the SYS schema and jobs with credentials).
    - The user that the OracleJobScheduler Windows service runs as must have the "Log on as batch job" Windows privilege.
    - A batch file (ending in .bat) cannot be called directly by the Scheduler. Instead cmd.exe must be used and the name of the batch file passed in as an argument. For example
    begin
    dbms_scheduler.create_job('myjob',
       job_action=>'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE',
       number_of_arguments=>3,
       job_type=>'executable', enabled=>false);
    dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('myjob',1,'/q');
    dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('myjob',2,'/c');
    dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('myjob',3,'c:\temp\test.bat');
    dbms_scheduler.enable('myjob');
    end;
    /- In 10gR1 external jobs that wrote to standard output or standard error streams would sometimes return errors. Redirect to files or suppress all output and error messages when using 10gR1 to run external jobs.
    UNIX-specific Issues
    - When running scripts, make sure that the executable bit is set.
    - When running scripts directly, make sure that the first line of the script in a valid shebang line - starting with "#!" and containing the interpreter for the script.
    - In release 10.2.0.1, jobs creating a large amount of standard error text may hang when running (this was fixed in the first 10.2.0.2 patchset). If you are seeing this issue, redirect standard error to a file in your job. This issue has been seen when running the expdp utility which may produce large amounts of standard error text.
    - the user that the job runs as (see above section) must have execute access on $ORACLE_HOME/bin and all parent directories. If this is not the case the job may be reported as failed or hang in a running state. For example if your $ORACLE_HOME is /opt/oracle/db then you would have to make sure that
    chmod a+rx /opt
    chmod a+rx /opt/oracle
    chmod a+rx /opt/oracle/db
    chmod a+rx /opt/oracle/db/bin
    - On oracle-xe, the primary group of your oracle user (if it exists) must be dba before you install oracle-xe for external jobs to work. If you have an oracle user from a regular Oracle installation it may have the primary group set to oinstall.
    - On oracle-xe, the extjobo executable is missing so external jobs in the SYS schema will not work properly. This can be fixed by copying the extjob executable to extjobo in the same directory ($ORACLE_HOME/bin).
    - Check that correct permissions are set for external job files - extjob and externaljob.ora (see below)
    Correct permissions for extjob and externaljob.ora on UNIX
    There is some confusion as to what correct permissions are for external job related files.
    In 10gR1 and 10.2.0.1 :
    - rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora should not exist
    - bin/extjob should be setuid and setgid 6550 (r-sr-s---). It should be owned by the user that jobs should run as and by the group that jobs should run as.
    - bin/extjobo should have normal 755 (rwxr-xr-x) permissions and be owned by oracle:oraclegroup
    In 10.2.0.2 and higher
    - rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora file must must be owned by root:oraclegroup and be writable only by the owner i.e. 644 (rw-r--r--) It must contain at least two lines: one specifying the run-user and one specifying the run-group.
    - bin/extjob file must be also owned by root:oraclegroup but must be setuid i.e. 4750 (-rwsr-x---)
    - bin/extjobo should have normal 755 (rwxr-xr-x) permissions and be owned by oracle:oraclegroup
    In 11g and higher
    Same as 10.2.0.2 but additionally bin/jssu should exist with root setuid
    permissions i.e. owned by root:oraclegroup with 4750 (-rwsr-x---)
    Internal Error numbers for UNIX on 10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.6 or higher
    If you are not using a credential and are using version 10.2.0.2 or higher or 10.1.0.6 or higher you may come across an internal error number. Here are the meanings for the internal error numbers.
    274661 - can't get owner of or permissions of externaljob.ora file
    274662 - not running as root or externaljob.ora file is writable by group or other or externaljob.ora file not owned by root (can't switch user)
    274663 - setting the group or effective group failed
    274664 - setting the user or effective user failed
    274665 - a user or group id was not changed successfully
    274666 - cannot access or open externaljob.ora file
    274667 - invalid run_user specified in externaljob.ora file
    274668 - invalid run_group specified in externaljob.ora file
    274669 - error parsing externaljob.ora file
    274670 - extjobo is running as root user or group

    Hi Ravi,
    Can you help me...
    Hi All,
    I planned to create a job to do rman backup daily at 04:00 AM.
    1. I created a program as follows
    BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM(
    program_name => 'rman_backup_prg',
    program_action => '/u02/rmanback/rman.sh',
    program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
    comments => 'RMAN BACKUP');
    END;
    my rman script is
    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
    export PATH=$PATH:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin
    /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/exp rman/cat@catdb file=/u02/rmanback/rm
    an_220108.dmp log=/u02/rmanback/rman_220108.log owner=rman statistics=none comp
    ress=n buffer=400000
    compress *.dmp
    exit
    2. I created a schedule as follows
    BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE(
    schedule_name => 'rman_backup_schedule',
    start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
    end_date => '31-DEC-16 05.00.00 AM',
    repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=4',
    comments => 'Every day at 4 am');
    END;
    3. I created ajob as follows.
    BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
    job_name => 'rman_backup_job',
    program_name => 'rman_backup_prg',
    schedule_name => 'rman_backup_schedule',
    enabled=> true,
    auto_drop=> false
    END;
    While I am running the job I am getting the following error anybody help me.
    ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: Not owner

    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 441
    ORA-06512: at line 2
    If I removed "compress *.dmp" line in rman script it is working fine.
    /* additional Info from dba_scheduler_job_run_details as follows */

  • Macbook running slow

    Hi,
    A few people have asked this question, my macbook is running very slow and the mouse spinning circle comes up quite a lot. I am unsure of why it is doing this.
    I have attached a copy of the EtreCheck I have done on my system.
    Can you please have a look and see if you can see if there is anything wrong, as I am unsure of what I am looking at.
    Thanks for your help

    Either update or remove the Vodafone software and see whether there's an improvement.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • System freezing/running slower

    I've been having some difficulties with my macbook as of late: in the past three days, chrome has frozen about 7 times and force quitting made the entire screen freeze (so all i could do was using the shut-down button). I've also noticed that the bootup is slower than usual. Generally speaking, the whole thing has been running slower and slower for a while now. i get the rainbow wheel of doom on a frequent basis. (also, my fan is quite loud and i can hear a rattling sound sometimes)
    here is what seems to have happened before everything froze:

    i've verified disk permissions, verified disk, did a hardware check (everything normal) and reset NVRAM/PRAM. I didn't even know any of these things existed until a few days ago, so if i'm honest i have no idea what i'm doing.
    (also, with disk permissions i got "Permissions differ on “System/Library/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are lrwxr-xr-x "" and "
    should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rw-r--r-". I'm not sure whether that is important.)
    if anyone could tell me what is going on / what i could do to stop my computer from being slow/crashing, i'd be immensely thankful! (it's also a new model; from january 2012)

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Macbook pro 2008 running slow

    Im sorry if im reposting something somebody else has already poasted but I couldnt find this topic in the forum.
    I have a 15" Macbook Pro bought December 2008 is my memory serves me correct
    The specifics are
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 6 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
    I have about 129GB free, what I dont understand why it runs so slowly. I've run Disk Utilities and no errors or problems show up and frequently run CleanMyMac. I have recently installed Adobe CS5 but with 4GB RAM but I dont see why this would cause the computer to run slower as I should have enough ram. Can I upgrade to 6GB? Is there any other reason to why my computer would be running so slow? Applications often crash, or it can take me up to 5 min just closing an application down.
    Thanks for the help!

    I have the same era MBP and recently had to change to a new hard drive. I upgraded to a faster 7200 rpm drive and have no regrets. FYI, you don't have to buy a drive from them, but OtherWorld Computing does hace very helpful HD install videos (http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro15_unibodyhd/) and also a handy $30 gizmo, the "USB 2 Universal Drive Adapter" that allows you to setup your new HD before installing into the MBP. Of course, if you already have a fast external FW drive you might not need it, but it worked like a charm. Also, the actual HD install in a unibody MBP literally only takes a couple of minutes.

  • MacBook Pro Stalls/Running slow since Mavericks Installation

    On the advice of the more experienced here is a new thread.
    Since installing Mavericks my MBP has gone from pretty much an instant response to requests, to stalling, the spinning pinwheel, longer startup and shutdown times, as well as slower access to websites (Chrome and Safari, though Safari appears slower). 
    I have been advised to run EtreCheck when I first joined a post regarding the same problem.  I posted the results and was advised to work through some of the issues.  This is the initial test result and the very much appreciated advice.
    NOTE - EXTENSIVE TEXT TO FOLLOW.
    I don't have a specific fix from your report, but I can point out what other users have had issues with.

    Red is the items I'd look at these are mostly 'system level' - they can alter a lot in the OS. Check the developers website, update or remove the apps if the developer doesn't say it supports 10.9 or if you can live without them.
    Soundflower is out of date & it is a 'kernel extension', the kernel is the core of the OS - you don't want any old code running here.
    The installer has a removal tool too https://code.google.com/p/soundflower/ so update or remove it if you don't use it.
    Update or remove Paragon's NTFS tool, it is running at a system level & it's background jobs seem to be in a 'problem state', it also has something running in the kernel.
    Adobe has an updater running, try to ensure Adobe's apps are all up to date, just incase they have stopped checking. Repeat with Google's apps, just launch the apps & look in the 'App menu' or the Help menu for updates. These companies tend to reinstall the updaters if you try to delete them, so there it little you can do but keep the apps updated.
    It's odd that all your User Launch Agents: are not loaded, these are background jobs that start on login (if they are in a loaded state). The same principle applies, update or remove the related apps if they are not needed.
    CleanMyMac is a concern - there are lots of posts here claiming it can break the OS - it can help you to remove files that are installed by Apple which is not the best idea. I am unconvinced that running 'maintenance utilities' all the time is a good idea, however the app removal tool may be OK for cases where a developer doesn't have an uninstaller. 'Cleaner apps' use RAM & can spend time scanning files which can slow other tasks. Search here for varied opinions on CleanMyMac. I also use ClamXAV, ensure that is upto date & so check it's engine & rules are current.
    The purple items are 'user level' items (run on login of your account).
    There is a simple way to see if your issues are because of 'user level' items, create a new test user account & login as that user. If the Mac is stable you can assume it is something within your 'user items'.
    Check that you need the Login Items running every time you login. They are listed in System Preferences> Users & groups > select your account… login items tab.
    You appear to have 3 LogMeIn internet plugins installed - is Safari behaving OK or running slow? I would consider removing most plugins & then installing them as you need them. You can look inside /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ to remove them manually.
    ~/Library is your 'home library' Use the Finders Go Menu > Open Folder… and enter ~/Library to reveal it. Apple hid this Library folder.
    I'd be tempted to remove the Java applet plugin - old Java is a real secuity risk & Safari has probably disabled this for you already.
    There seems to be 2 Facebook plugins installed (probably inside your ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/). Remove the oldest one & look for the newest release. Update the Safari Extension if it needs it too.
    The Preference Panes are installed in /Library/PreferencePanes/ and ~/Library/PreferencePanes/. Open System prefs & launch each third party pref pane (the bottom rows) & check for updates if possible. These also have an ability to modify the OS, so any errors could effect everything. You can usually right click (or ctrl+click) to remove them from the preferences (it removes them from the OS, but may leave any libraries or extra tools behind - see if the developer has removal instructions).
    I see you have Plex installed, does this run very often? I find it can drag a Mac to a slow crawl when it is indexing. I suspect Connect360 may do similar things, but I don't really know for sure what it does .
    MenuTab for Facebook seems to be doing something with RAM & CPU, update or remove if you don't need it.
    That may all be daunting, but it should help. Start with the system level items, and then look at updating the other items. You may find things improve after a cleanup & a reboot.
    This was extremely helpful and I have gone as far as my knowledge will allow for now.  I did make a bootable clone of the main HDD prior to doing anything, and now there seems to be little improvment following the suggestions made.  Also along the way MacFuse was deleted and well as Flip4Mac and NTFS.  
    Things are far from perfect though and the MBP still stalls and is performing very poorly.

  • How to make a job run on a appointed node

    I have a problem. The database is Oracle 10g, RAC, two nodes
    There are some job which run on everyday night. Now, something happened, the job run on Node A can't work as normal, but if run on node B, It will work well.
    so I just want to submit the jobs on Node B, I submited the jobs on Node B, but the jobs always run on Node A.
    I want to know how to make a job run on a appointed node.

    the Job just transfer some procedure to add partitions for some table, to merge the records from some tables to one table and so on.
    the problem is when the job run on Node A, it is very very slow, the procedure would run hours and not success end, but if on Node B it will successfully end in seconds.
    restart the Node A would be a way for the problem, but may it will leave a hidden trouble. I want save the scene to find out the problem
    so can you help me

    I have a MBP running OSX 10.6.8. Connected to it as a Time Machine is a Freecom 400GB 28147 uk, external hardrive connected over USB 2.0. I also have a Mac Mini running 10.6.8.
    When connected to my MBP, I have found that it is extremely slow to read files. I gave up using it for Time Machine a while ago as I thought there was a problem Time Machine software causing it to run slow. I have also tried to read the time machine backups through finder and they are still slow to read.
    Today (don't know why i didn't do it before now) I plugged it in to my Mac Mini with USB 2.0 and found that I can read all the time machine files at lightning speed, far quicker than my MBP which can take 2-3 mins to open a folder. I have noticed that the hard drive doesn't make its usual whurring noise when im trying to open a folder using the MBP, right up until the last minute before the folder opens.
    Does any one have any idea about what might be causing the problem when the the ext HDD is connected to my MBP?
    Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated.

    How are you connected to it? Network problems could explain at least some of what you're seeing.
    More often then not I don't know how long the backups take because when it becomes to annoying I stop the backup.
    That guarantees that Time Machine will have to do a "deep scan" the next time, comparing everything on your system to the backups.   That does take a while, but if there are no other problems shouldn't have a major impact on performance.
    All of that said, I can't say for certain that there isn't something else going on.  Generally the way I notice the slowdown is when my keyboard inputs come out screwy -- ingB instead of Bring, pplAication for Applicaton for example.  When I know that this is happening I can work "around" it by typing the first letter, pausing for a second or two, then typing the remander.  Does any of this ring an bells?
    I've not heard of that specifically, but if you're connected to the Drobo wirelessly, and using a Bluetooth keyboard, there are reports of interference between the two. Try a wired keyboard temporarily, and/or different WIFI channels.

  • My 2010 MacBook Pro started running slow a few days ago and is getting worse. I have run a report with EtreCheck that I can post.  Can someone please help me figure out what's wrong and how to fix it.  Thank you.

    Problem started after I unintentionally downloaded some adware 4 days ago. After lots of aggressive ads slowed down my browser I downloaded and ran AdwareMedic which seemed to do the job and browser was back to normal.  Then, possibly a coincidence, everything on the computer started running slower.  I've backed up everything and have run a EtreCheck report.

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Running Slow, Displaying information I can't find...

    I have a MacBook Pro and when I run any application it runs slow. At first I thought, 'It is almost full, I should clear it.' I did, about 30 gigs of it but it is still running incredibly slow. I've looked into About This Mac and it says there is 100.27 GB worth of Movies. I have no idea what these movies are but I can't locate them anywhere on my mac. Anything that I did have on my mac I transfered to an external harddrive and had deleted (or so I thought). I've run OmniDiskSweeper but even that can't locate the movies. Aparently there is 56.31 GB worth of Other things on there too! I have it plugged into power but it still runs slow. I've been meaning to take it in to have the battery replaced (or serviced as it has notified me a couple times but just dissapears) as it has done 757 Cycles, which I assume is recharges. Just choosing the Apple logo and then About This Mac takes about 30 seconds per selection. Any gesture takes forever to load as well. Choosing another window take ten to fifteen seconds to swap over. So any selection really takes ten to forty seconds to swap over. I've shut down, and restarted my computer but still no luck. I'm a little confused as the only time I have EVER experienced this - and I don't mean to start any quarrels - was with a Windows computer.
    I'll give you an indication of how slow it is. I've opened Safari and have Apple as my home page. Twenty-five minutes have passed by but the loading bar is sitting comfortably with the 'o' in .com. Running pages takes forever to load and so does keynote. As does Word and PowerPoint. I do not know what else to do. I've been cleaning things off and erasing free space, deleting trash and deleting trash securely. I'm at a loss! My MacBook has never run this slow and has been so relaible until this pass couple months. I'm confused. The following is what my Mac is...
    MacBook Pro
    13-inch, Mid 2009
    Version 10.8.4
    Processor 2.35 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    I probably sound like a clueless fool, but I've never had problems like this. Usually I'm the one helping my friend, parents, and other colleagues with computer matters. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated!

    Have you opened Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair?
