Fan Super Loud on Boot, OS Very Slow - 2014 Mac Pro

Hello I have a Mac Pro which I ordered last December and arrived in February. In the last week, I have been noticing most of the time when I boot it up, at the login screen my fan starts going wild and it's so slow that my mouse lags as I move it around. When I boot without any of my peripherals, this does not happen.
Attached to my mac I have:
USB Apple Keyboard
USB RAZR Mamba Mouse 
USB AudioEngine Speakers (Added a few weeks ago)
Thunderbolt Apple Display
HDMI to Displayport Samsung TV Display
HDMI Sony 4K TV (Added a few weeks ago)
I'm not sure what could be causing this problem. Has anyone had a similar experience with their Mac Pro's? I ran Apple Diagnostics and it said there were no problems.
Additionally, in your experiences, what is the turnaround time for a Mac Pro repair?

I would test by disconnecting one peripheral at a time.

  • Mountain Lion Very Slow on Mac Pro 3,1 (2008 model)

    The Mac Pro 3,1 is supposed to support Mountain Lion, but when I run it, the GPU (ATI Radeon HD 2600 that came with it) makes a constant, loud fan noise as if it is working hard, and all of the graphics lag badly. I've installed all of the updates. Is there some driver problem between the Radeon HD 2600 and Mountain Lion? People on MacRumors said that it works fine on a Mac Pro 3,1 except for one guy who said it was really slow. Snow Leopard runs great on my machine.

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • Data transfer very slow on mac pro!! mac H/W unable to fit specifications.

    Hi,
    I am installinginternal disks on the quad mac pro and the transfer ratet in the mac are very slow!!!
    the disks are: barracuda 7200.10 disks, 500 GB. Sta II 300, max ST3500630AS firmware 3.AAE . throughput:300mb.jumpred off to get the 300.
    MAC tells that the QUAD MAC Pro equipment (2x2.66ghz dualcore intel xeon) comes with a 3.Gigabit specification/ 300MB/sec. (Intel ESB2 AHCI, speed: 3.0 Gigabit. AHCI version 1.10 supported)...
    And the benchmarks of the disk ST3500630AS show maximum 80MB/sec and a minimin of 37.3MB/sec, average 63.1 MB/sec. (anandtech tests).
    According to seagate.com the maximum sustained data transfer rate:78MB/s
    but in the mac the reallity is different: I am getting a transfer rate of 22MB/sec!!!!! . with out any application running and only making copy of the files!!!!
    that means that the mac is only providing only 1/3 of the expected transfer rate for the disks..
    so, is there a way that the MAC Pro gets all the normal transfer rate for those disks???
    Is the Quad MAC Pro hardware unable to get the maximum throughput of the disks???
    It seems that the mac is unable to get also the average transfer rate of those disks.. how to correct it???
    thanks a lot
    Alberto
    ps. just for fun: I am getting a faster transfer rate from an old power pc ,and old pc, and firewire 400 and old ide disks!!! (36MB/seg!!!)

    Yup.
    BThe latest Mac Pro are better, so if you have a new or 2 month old unit, Seagate should work, though I think there should be later firmware.
    Some would say those drives take the cake or woRSe.
    http://www.barefeats.com/hard91.html
    SEAGATE PUZZLES
    +Firmware version 3.AEE or later solves the slow sustained large block write speed issue for a single 7200.10 inside the Mac Pro.+
    +The remaining performance issue is slow small random read speeds for one, two, three or four drives. No matter how many drives you configure in RAID 0 sets, the average random read speed for combined block sizes from 64K to 1024K is less than 30MB/s (based on QuickBench 3 testing).+
    +Until Seagate fixes this, we can't recommend the 7200.10 series as the ideal boot drive for the Mac Pro (or Power Mac).+

  • Aperture very slow on mac pro 8 core

    I have a very new mac pro that can't seem to run aperture at a usable speed at all. My 4 year old G5 was able to run it faster, using the same library. When I move between pictures, or even try and change rating, the whole computer comes to a halt and I can't do or click on anything. After about 10 - 30 seconds I can start working again. This is the same with just about any feature in aperture. I have checked the task list and it is empty. This is running with the library on the boot drive and on a secondary drive. The performance is the same. Any ideas??

    Library size does matter, and Aperture doesn't handle big libraries well when it comes to speed. It shouldn't matter but it does.
    My own library is around 65k images and growing rapidly. If I was to have all these images on one drive, or a RAID, and perform a search of an image with spotlight, I would get results in only a few seconds, with Aperture it's like pulling your hair out and is very painful to perform a search.
    If I wanted to search my entire album I must be prepared to watch the spinning beach ball for quite a few minutes, and every click or keyboard type takes another few minutes. I don't know why this is, or why the finder runs rings around Aperture, even iView can perform a whole library search in a matter of seconds.
    I think it is because Aperture is trying to show you all the thumbnails or present a graphical view of all the images when you choose library or all images. All I am doing is asking Aperture to consider all the data in all images before I perform my search, but Aperture wants to do everything.
    I really hope that the engineers work on this issue for version 2, and also come up with a better captioning window than is currently in use. I use PhotoMechanic to caption everything before it even touched Aperture, which makes Apple's programme by post-event workflow rather than my live workflow. An IPTC window such as PhotoMechanic's would be very welcome. If anyone else agrees please add it to the feedback page.
    Anyway, back to the performance. Certain operations, even with plenty of RAM and a good graphics card, can lead to almost snail like performance with large Aperture libraries. I doubt an Octo-Mac (as I like to call them), or even a 50-core Mac with 60Gb RAM and a 20GB video card would make any difference. The application needs updating in that respect.

  • Very Slow New Mac Pro

    I just got my first Mac Pro. I upgraded to Yosemite. It took nearly 5 hours to download. I thought it would have been and internet problem. But then I noticed that almost everything is slow, I am cutting the cord with PC but I expect a difference!
    Opening an app takes several seconds. I have seen my friends Macs and they have almost instant opening of apps and all. It seems awfully slow to me.
    Also I noticed that RAM is constantly on 3.98 or so, and many times there is only a few MB available. Who is using all the mem?
    Thanks for any advice.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Very slow running Mac Mini

    Hi,
    I'd like to thank all people supporting us (users) in these discussions, and especially the person who helped me restoring my MBP's performance,
    I'm requesting once again some help for my Mac Mini which is very very slow.
    Mac Mini running OS X Moutain Lion + Apple's Server add-on (a few services are running : file sharing mainly).
    Thanks in advance,

    Hello Hedi, 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 Disk 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 of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • Cannot boot from Superdrives on my Mac Pro!!

    Hello,
    So I tried to boot last night from my Disk Warrior CD in order to do a maintenance check.
    I hold C key but in vain after a couple of minutes I get the black screen/freeze with the message to restart holding power button.
    Today, I tried to install Leopard on my external firewire drive and when the Mac restarted I got the same result.......freeze.
    I tried both Superdrives.......same result, verified connections etc..... no dice.
    I run the latest Leopard 10.5.3 in a first edition Mac Pro Dual 2.66 with 13GB RAM and 3 hard drives.
    What bugs me is the fact that while holding or not the C key, after a couple of minuted I hear the ''click'' that you hear when you shut down the Mac Pro. It is like the Mac is shutting off but still runs for a few minutes before giving me the black screen.
    This means I cannot boot anything anymore on my Mac Pro.
    Please help me, any deas, what should I try doing.
    The 2 Superdrives are Pioneer 111D and 112D......one is master the other on cable select.
    Thank you.

    Another Surprise: I tried to boot from the original Mac Pro Install Discs, result: it crashes even faster.
    Well that's a BUMMER You've got a hardware problem somewhere and it's time for 'Hit or Miss' Tactics to find it
    First things First. Follow Theses Steps ...
    Step 1) Can you boot from the hard drive with both 'Superdrives' plug in and empty?
    If your answer is NO Goto Step 7.
    Step 2) Check the 'Superdrives' from the 'System Profiler' -> 'Hardware' -> 'ATA Bus'. Does it list BOTH Drives?
    If your answer is NO Goto Step 7.
    Step 3) Is the TOP drive 'Unit Number: 0' (Zero) and the BOTTOM drive 'Unit Number: 1'.
    If your answer is NO Goto Step 7.
    Step 4) Can you 'Mount' a CD/DVD to the 'Desktop' from both drives?
    If your answer is NO Goto Step 7.
    Step 5) Can you 'REBOOT' the 'Install DVD' from the 'Desktop'?
    If your answer is NO Goto Step 7.
    Step 6) Happy Days Are Here Again. Stop Here.
    Step 7) 'DON'T PANIC!
    Step 8) Open case and remove the 'Superdrive' bay. The 'Original' drive should be in the TOP bay with the END OF the 'Ribbon' cable plugged in to it. This 'Ribbon' cable and the 'Superdrive' should have a 'NOTCH' and can ONLY be plugged in a certain way. Set the 'Drive Select' jumper to 'Master'. Unplug the 'Ribbon' and 'Power' cable from the 'BOTTOM Superdrive'.
    Step 9) Repeat Steps 1 thru 5 and if you make it to Step 6, Repeat Step 8 using the 'BOTTOM Superdrive'.
    Step 10) Hmm, both 'Superdrives' WORK by themselves but NOT together So connect the TOP drive back as in Step 8 and connect the BOTTOM drive but change the BOTTOM drive's 'Jumper' to 'Slave'. Leave the TOP drive set to 'Master'.
    Step 11) Repeat Steps 1 thru 5 and if you DO NOT make it to Step 6 then I'll need more information from your 'Console Error Logs'.
    End Of Steps ............................................................................... .................................
    Not relevant to you problem BUT did you change your VIDEO CARD?

  • AMD Crossfire, Boot Camp, and the new Mac Pro Issue

    Hello, all.
    I have a new Mac Pro (Late 2013) with 6 cores, 32 GB RAM, and dual D700 AMD graphics cards.  I'm using an older 30 inch Apple Cinema Display (with the dual link DVI adapter).  I've successfully installed Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp.  Here's my problem...
    I understand that for the new Mac Pro under Boot Camp enables AMD CrossfireX by default from multiple sources online.  However, it's disabled on mine, and every time I try to enable it (and hit "Apply" in the AMD Control Center), it disables again.
    Is Crossfire only available for use with a Thunderbolt Display attached?  Could that be the problem?  Or is the AMD Control Panel lying to me?
    Now, games in Windows are still running well... But I'd like to take full advantage of the dual graphics cards in the new Mac Pro with Crossfire.  Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Fixed it!
    So, not only would Crossfire not enable under Windows 8.1 on my Mac Pro in Boot Camp... But Windows started crashing massively.  I was about to wipe Boot Camp entirely and try a clean install (even though the only three things I'd installed were Windows itself using Apple's exact instructions, Steam, and Skyrim), but decided in a last ditch effort to try disconnecting and reconnecting peripherals.
    Turns out the culprit was my Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock.
    Disconnecting the Belkin Thunderbolt dock not only stopped Windows from crashing, but now I can enable Crossfire, as well!
    Now, this is especially strange since I have read elsewhere that people have no problems using the Belkin dock under Boot Camp with other Macs... This issue is probably isolated to using it in Boot Camp with the new Mac Pro.  But disconnecting the dock from my Mac Pro has solved not just one but all of my Boot Camp issues.  (Of course, using the Belkin dock under OSX on my Mac Pro is no problem.)
    Long story short, if you have a new Mac Pro and plan on using Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp, don't have the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock attached.
    I'm going to contact Belkin and tell them what I've discovered.
    Hope that helps y'all.

  • Booting is very slow!

    Hi!
    I've installed Leopard (clean install) and so far it is working good on my 2.16ghz intel Macbook
    BUT! (heheh) When I boot it does this:
    1.Gray/white screen with Apple logo
    2. The loading circle appears under the Apple logo (like it should)
    3. Blue screen for like 15 seconds
    4. Directly to the desktop with loading times.
    With 10.4.10 my boot times were considerably faster (under 20 seconds), now it has gone up to at least 50 seconds and I don't see the " Loading Mac OSX " frame like there was with tiger.
    Is anything wrong?
    Thanks
    Benoit

    No nothing is wrong, your macbook is aging just a little, you see as technology and software progresses so to does hardware, your Macbook was designed initially to run 10.4 and everything ran smoothly and booting was very fast.
    Leopard is a little bit more demanding on system resources since it's a newer more complex operating system, on your Macbook it will boot a little slower, not much but the reason being newer hardware on the market catches up with the software design.
    e.g. I still managed to install Leopard on my sisters iBook G4 late 2005 Model 1.42GHz single Core Power PC Processor, booting is around 12 seconds longer than previously installed 10.4.10
    10.6 probably won't be able to run on anything slower than your current macbook right now.
    do you get what I am saying, as software becomes more complex it puts more strain on older hardware, which is why a lot of mac users tend to upgrade their systems every 1-3 years because the software they want to run just doesn't cut it on their current systems.
    when things get too old and don't perform to a level users demand then it is time to upgrade.
    Power users upgrade whenever they can, Casual users who don't do advanced things with their macs and just like to edit basic home movies, type word documents, check emails, build their iTunes collection etc. won't need to upgrade for a very long time because the processes they do aren't demanding and won't change a lot over time.

  • ACR 7.1 - very slow on Mac mini

    Hi
    I'm running the trial version of CS6 on a new Mac mini.
    I like the features in ACR 7.1 but I'm finding it very slow.
    Dragging the Temperature slider takes about 5 seconds before the image updates. Is this normal?
    This is with just one Nikon D700 Nef open in ACR, and no other apps running. I've already worked the file up, making adjustments to lens correction, sharpening, noise reduction, and using a couple of adjustment brushes.
    If I progressively switch these settings off, the Temperature slider gradually goes back to being reasonably responsive. But I'd like to be able to fine tune the colour after doing these other adjustments.
    Any way I can speed it up?
    Thanks!
    Mac mini 2.7 i7, AMD 6630, 16Gb RAM, 7200rpm 750Gb HD.
    Eizo CG275W
    Photoshop CS6
    ACR 7.1.0.354
    Mountain Lion 10.8.1

    My dedicated CS6/ACR 7.x system is substantially more underpowered than your Mac Mini, yet I see no such lag in ACR.  Dragging the Temperature adjustment slider is practically real-time, with the preview refreshing in a fraction of a second that I can barely see and have no way of measuring.
    I'm now running ACR 7.2RC1, but I don't remember seeing a lag in ACR 7.1 either.
    My main working machine is a Power Mac (PPC) G5 Quad with 16 GB of RAM, on which 11.0.2 is the last version of Photoshop to run, so I have the Mac-Intel system described below just to run ACR 7.x under Photoshop 13.0.1.  I convert my raw files in ACR7.x open them in Ps 13.0.x and save them via Ethernet to an external HD connected to the G5 Quad for further processing in CS4. The Mac-Intel is used for no other purpose and the only other application I occasionally run on said Mac-Intel is TextEdit.
    2007, 2GHz MacBook 2,1, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM (can use 3 GB), 160 GB internal boot disk, dedicated FireWire400 external HD for Ps scratch disk, external Time Machine HD.  Snow Leopard 10.6.8. 
    I literally rescued this MacBook from the trash, where it had landed when my wife was told by local Apple Macgenius staff that it was beyond repair, when in reality all that was wrong with it was a bulging battery exerting upward pressure on the track pad and keyboard.  That was easy to replace for $20 or so through Amazon.com. 
    So, from where I sit,  either you have a machine-specific problem somewhere, or the culprit in your issue is Mountain Poop.

  • 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.

    I am new to Mac and I dont know what to do, please help.

    Completely uninstall the Kaspersky software AND MacKeeper. Both aren't necessary and can cause all kinds of issues.
    Also check if Paragon and Virtualbox are up to date.

  • InDesign 5.5 scrolling very slow on Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I am using InDesign CS 5.5 (7.5.3) on a Macbook Pro - 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 w/ 8GB Ram and a 250GB SSD and AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphic card - and it's incredibly slow when scrolling up and down in a document. Admittedly that document has lots of big tifs embedded but still it feels very slow and often hangs on the spinning wheel. I've tried a helper app to switch the graphic cards and have also turned preflight off and set live screen drawing to delayed after reading some threads on here. It's especially bad when I come from another application but doesn't seem to make a difference how many other apps are open. Is this normal? Does anyone have any ideas how to improve performance?

  • Internet suddenly very slow 2011 Mac Mini

    My internet has suddenly become very very slow.
    Wireless.
    Last week very fast.
    Any ideas?

    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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    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.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them 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 which is irrelevant to 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.
