Extremely slow after upgrade

I got Tiger working but the start up is sooo slow, like HOURS slow. It takes FOREVER to just get to the Finder and be able to move around on there. And when I open an App. it takes FOREVER too, and to make a change in a preference, same thing- Beachball rolls forever... IT is so annoying... Does Tiger ever settle down and finally kick into gear? Or is something severely wrong here?

First Run DFA/ Permission are not going to do anything except waiste time... unless you are having a permission problem, in which you are not> Safe boot wil tell you that its either a start up item or a 3rd part kernal extension. But do you know what do do when you do fibd the culprit. Well by this time you have waisted about 3 hours trying to figure this out.
I would back up .. just in case. The n try a Archine install preserving settings. If this resolves issue , then it was something YOU installed. If this does not resolve issue , the next step would be to do another install w/o preserving settings. This is as close as to an erase w/o erasing. Also when you run DFA keep track of how long it takes to verify. My experience is if it take lonnger than 3 4 mins , and DFA reports its OK.. The DFA is not reporting correctly. IF it does take a long time , back up and erase and reinstall.
and BTW im a former Product Specialist as of last week.

  • IPhoto is extremely slow after upgrading to OSX Maveric

    Has anyone noticed that iPhoto is extremely slow after upgrading to OSX Maverick

    I've noticed that it isn't.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • MacBook pro extremely slow after upgrade to Yosemite

    after upgrade of MacBook pro to Yosemite everything runs extremely slow. Apps Internet everything. Any fixes for this?  I read email chains back from October.  Anything more current? 

    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.

  • IPhone6 extremely slow after upgrade to iOS 8.2

    I just upgrade my iPhone6 to iOS 8.2(apple watch). After the upgrade the phone is lagging and is extremely slow. Just writing a text is a problem waiting in-between inputs.
    Has anyone else had issues with speed and use their iPhone6 after the upgrade?

    I have not had a problem with speed. Sometimes a laggy iPhone can be the result of memory fragmentation in RAM (not in storage). It shouldn't happen, because iOS is generally very good about managing memory, but occasionally it needs to be helped. Try the following:
    Press HOME once, then double-press it to bring up the Quick Launch screen
    Kill each app you see by flicking its screen image up. Continue until all apps except the Home screen are closed
    Press HOME once, and wait about 2 minutes for all apps to finish shutting down
    Turn the phone off by holding the SLEEP button until Slide to power off appears, and do so
    Wait another minute for it to finish the shutdown
    Turn the phone back on by holding the SLEEP button until an Apple logo appears.
    Let us know if this helps.

  • Wifi is extremely slow after upgrading to Yosemite

    After upgrading to Yosemite, i have extremely slow connection on Wifi and also Ethernet connecting to the internet. Had no problems with Mavericks and also my other wifi devices.
    Have tried deleting my network configuration and starting again and also have deleted my System Configuration folder with no success
    can anyone help??

    Finally found the solution. Apparently it is as I have guessed. The fault lies with the latest HTML 5 player added with safari instead of flash player to save battery.
    The problem was solved by selection Safari 7.1 from developer option !!

  • Webtool extremely slow after upgrade to OEL 5.8

    Running OSB 10.3.0.2.0 on OEL 5.8 64 bit. The original install was on OEL 5.3, but after upgrading to 5.8 the webtool is very slow on any browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome). Each page load takes about 40-50 seconds. Has anyone else experienced this or is this possibly a known issue?
    Thank you.

    I'd suggest you upgrade to OSB10.4.0.1.0 release.
    Webtool taking ages is probably related to some other OS issue, check /var/log/messages and whatever and check your DNS settings are all correct.
    What about obtool commands, are they also slow?
    Thanks

  • My iMac is running extremely slow after upgrading to mountain lion

    Ever since upgrading my OS, my computer is running extremely slow. Any tips to improve performance?

    How much RAM is your system running? Do a Disk Repair and see if that resolves any issues.

  • ACR extremely slow after upgrade from CS4 to CS5

    After upgrading Photoshop and Bridge from 4.0 to 5.0 I can no longer edit photos in ACR (plugin v 6.3) because it now takes impractically long to refresh the image after most changes. For example, on the Basic pane if I change a setting such as Exposure, Brightness, etc. with a slider it takes about 5 seconds before I see the change to the image. Since CS4 is still on my computer if I load CS4 Bridge, open the same image in Camera Raw (plugin v 5.5) the same operation refreshes the image in about a half second. If I can't solve this problem I'll have to abandon CS5 and go back to CS4, which would be a shame. Any ideas?  Thank you!

    You shouldn't be running version 5.5  of the Camera Raw plug-in in CS4 either.  Update to ACR 5.7 ASAP.
    One should ALWAYS run the LATEST release of ACR for your version of Photoshop, no exceptions.  Each new release brings unheralded, unannounced and sometimes even unacknowledged bug fixes and improvements, beyond support for newer cameras.
    Staying with an older version just because your camera is already supported by it is a very<euphemism>unwise</euphemism> decision.

  • Mountain lion and time capsule. Extremely slow after upgrade...

    After upgrading to the new system, I was trying to copy my iphoto library to my timecapsule, but at this rate, it will be completed within 20 hours... And I´m only transferring 11 gb... I also checked my connection speed to the timecapsule and it´s at 450mb... So, why is it going to take 20 hours??? This is an issue that needs to be adressed... I have the brand new Timecapsule. It´s also not doing a backup while I´m transferring...
    Hoping this will be resolved immedately...

    I noticed that Time Machine erased all of my previous backups and started fresh.  I woudl be willing to bet that the sluggishness you expereinced was because Time Machine was making a full backup.  It proably became more quick once it finished this since it could perform incremental backups thereafter.

  • Firefox is extremely slow after upgrade to version 12, what to do?

    A couple of days ago (30 April 2012) I upgraded to firefox version 12 and since then the browser is e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y slow to load any page.
    I have tried reinstalling the upgrade, have restarted the computer, have loaded firefox in safe mode without plug-ins etc, but none of that has made a difference.
    Who can advise me what to do to solve this problem? Am working on Windows 7.

    as for the latest driver, try downloading the latest ATI driver from this 3rd party website - it shouldn't check for your notebook model and install just fine [http://www.chip.de/downloads/ATI-Catalyst-Mobility-64-Bit_42130502.html] (website is in german)
    if this doesn't work, you might also try disabling0 hardware acceleration completely in firefox > options > advanced

  • MBP extremely slow after upgrading to Lion. Help please.

    Hello,
    I'm using a MacBook Pro and just loved it while it was still on Snow Leopard. I upgraded to Lion a month ago and thought the reason for my MBP delay in EVERYTHING was because it was still indexing all the files or getting used to the new OS. However, after a month, when I turn my computer on it takes 5-9 minutes with the loading page of Apple.
    It takes another 5-8 minutes for it to normally function after logging in but it isn't consistent though. I really need help over here guys.
    My line of work requires a fast notebook and quite honestly, I'm very disappointed with the new os.
    Thank you in advance,
    Yano

    If it is a new installation, spotlight can take forever to do the first indexing. I put my Sleep option in Power preferences to "never" (On mains power that is) and leave the computer lid open / on all night.
    There are also other things going on, like, software updates,(both from Apple and third party), maintenance scripts (that run on schedule at night), Backup, iDisk and iCloud syncs (the first uploads can be large), etc.
    Once the initial cludge is cleared things get much better. But get that RAM upgrade. Crucial delivered mine within 24 hours of ordering 
    You'll need a very small screwdriver!

  • Office mail merges are extremely slow after upgrade to Exchange 2013

    Ever since we migrated from Exchange 2007 to 2013 SP1, our employees have reported that mail merges are taking triple the amount of time to send messages. What used to take an hour is now 3 to 4 hours. Some offices are required to send upwards of 6,000
    messages at a time. I know Exchange 2013 handles throttling differently than previous versions however the default (global) ThrottlingPolicy was sufficient with our previous 2007 installation. I've never had to deal much with Throttling so I'm not exactly
    sure of what settings I should be looking at....also I'm not sure if this would even be related to throttling. Has anyone experienced this issue before with Exchange 2013 and could you provide any recommendations or settings that I need to be focusing on in
    relation to Outlook client connections? We are currently using the GlobalThottlingPolicy for all users.

    Hi,
    What’s the version of Office?
    The following Outlook client versions are fully supported by Exchange server 2013.
    Outlook 2013
    Outlook 2010 SP1 with November 2012 Cumulative Update ( available from
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687623 )
    Outlook 2007 SP3 with November 2012 Cumulative Update ( available from
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2687404 )
    I suggest to upgrade one office client to Outlook 2013 (with word 2013) to check this issue.
    Best Regards.

  • Ipad  1 became extremely slow after upgrade to ios 5

    Killing programs do not really help.  This makes the ipad really useless. Anybody who has an idea how to solve?

    Yes. Do this:
    Hold the Power Button and Home Button simultaneously. Ignore the red slider, and allow it to power off on its own. When it reboots, input your code (if you have one). Your iPad should be refreshed and faster. Worked for me.
    Similarly, though you didn't ask, if you find your battery draining much faster than before the iOS 5 upgrade (MUCH faster, and without any activity), delete all your Email accounts, reboot, and re-add them. It solves the problem.
    (I have both iPad 1 & 2)
