FCP 4.5 running slow in latest OS

Hadn't edited at home on my G5 with FCP 4.5 in a while, but have since updated my MAC to 10.4.10 I noticed a drastic slowness in FCP after a while (pinwheel popping up, some functions not computing at all).I have 2.5 GB of SDRAM - could it be possible that I just need more RAM?
Thanks,
Dan.

Daniel, As David suggested
"The BEST workaround is to do a clean install of OS 10.3, then update until you reach OS 10.3.9 and QT 6.5.2.
FCP wasn't written for OS 10.4 or QT 7, although it can run. It IS optimized for OS 10.3 and was/is very stable on OS 10.3.9 and QT 6.5.2."
FCP 5.1 will run very well with those versions. If you want to take advantage of the myriad improvements to the programs as well as the addition of Color, you will need to buy FCS2. Everything will run on 2.5 Gigs but yes, you will want more Ram.
And to take full advantage of color you will need one of the Intel based machines.

Macbook pro running slow after latest Yosemite update!

Hi!
I updated to the latest Yosemite software yesterday and I was just curious to know if I am the only one experiencing how my mac suddenly runs really slow?? It takes twice as long for me to open my mac and I often find small glitches when I use the internet in general and scrolling through my iTunes library. Besides this I also find that my mac does not cooperate my bamboo wacom tablet as good as before the update and small black boxes have started to flicker whenever I edit/use brushing tools in Photoshop.
I hope I am the only one experiencing this because it is really annoying!!!

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 and start typing the name.
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.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
What is the hard drive capacity, and how much space remains available on it? Things can slow down if the hard drive is getting full. It is generally recommended to keep at least 15% of the total capacity of the hard drive free as available space.
How long has it been since you performed any hard drive maintenance? (i.e., repaired the hard drive using Disk Utility from the Mac OS X 10.5 Install disc?)

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of firefox..is running slower, I am not really liking the new format, is there anyway to go back to the old one?

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of firefox..is running slower, I am not really liking the new format, is there anyway to go back to the old one?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Macbook Pro still running slow after reformat

So my Macbook pro, which is about 3-4 years old now, just started running slow after the latest update i did, whichever the latest one was. Possibly a security update or whatever it was. So i decided it was time to reformat and just clear out the stuff on my computer so i erased the HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard. After all that it still lags and is slow. Its slow on things like scrolling down a web page, or opening programs, or when i use expose, it isn't super smooth like it normally is.
My MBP has 4gb of ram and 2.2ghz. I have also tried to repair the disk permissions, but didnt seem to help drastically. Any suggestions?

Hi there,
Have you applied all updates? Using Software Update or manually? Checked for EFI and SMC versions?
Don't you have any clue from Console logs?
Repair as T posted and bring back news and info about your Graphic Card.
Good luck.

My late 2008 MacBook Pro (2.53/4GB Ram) running Lion 10.7.3 seems to be running slower. What should I do to improve performance?

My Mac feels as if it is running slower these last couple of months. I have thought of pursuing a commercially available "clean up" product, but thought I would try the community first and also for pointers using the Mac's own internal diagnostics or system improvement capabilities. Any and all advice is most welcome. I have a 250GB hard drive that is half full, I always update to latest revisions and have an extra high-speed internet connection. Computer is not heavily loaded with apps and typically using Firefox for browsing. (MS Office for Mac as well, but usually limited to one program such as MS Word or Excel at a time.) No heavy graphics utilization. Videos from the internet load slowly and some are choppy. Even scrolling just doesn't seem "brisk".
Thank you,
Tom

Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the slowdown.
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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab. 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.
Now select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “kernel.log” from the file list. Post the dozen or so most recent messages in the log – the text, please, not a screenshot. If there are repeats, please post only one example of each repeated message.

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple? I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

10.6.8 update running slow as sh*t

Just did the netupdate to my iMac (running OSX 10.6.8) and now my MAC is running slow as sh*t... is anyone else having this issue? I checked the process level and nothing seems to be over consuming system resources... my question is this... has anyone else reported issues with the latest updates?
I'm talking really slow.. dog slow... woof woof. Here's a list of applications that were updated with the latest net update.... one of these is a culprit of poor programming & testing.

Do smc and pram reset.
Boot from your installer dvd (or external bootable drive) and repair/verify you drives (not repair permissions).

Satellite C50-A628 running slow

Good day everyone.
Sorry if this post is in the wrong section, but, please help.
I know that maybe some people might think this as a waste of time or just something you could search in google, but, for about *7 months*, I've been trying to figure out why my new laptop is running slow.
As this laptop comes without any pre-installed operating system, there is no restore disk or factory reset disc. For the first few months of using my laptop, it's been running +windows 8.1 pro+.
Every time I use it, it opens everything okay, except when my browser is open. everything becomes unstable and doesn't respond. after a few seconds of not responding, I can use it again as long as I don't multi-task. I've installed the latest graphics drivers and some apps, but that's it. I thought that it was a problem with windows 8 about 5 days ago, so I downgraded to +windows 7 ultimate 64 bit+.
Now, i'm starting to think that maybe the problem is because of the drivers since I didn't install the drivers required for the laptop since it doesn't come with the drivers and reset disk.
So now, I'd like to ask for support on this matter. Please show the proper installation of windows 7 and the all the drivers required for my laptop which is the *TOSHIBA SATELLITE C50-A628 RUNNING WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 64-bit*. (Or any idea on why this problem is occuring)
Thank you and have a nice day.
-George B.

One note: the system performance, especially the internet browser issues has NOTHING to do with drivers preinstalled on your notebook. Mostly drivers are not the reason why the notebook runs slow (open software slowly, etc)
Fact is that your Satellite C50-A628 was equipped with 2GB RAM.
Additionaly an part of this 2GB RAM is shared with GPU: Intel HD Graphics
Therefore less than 2GB are used for system and applications.
To be honest; this is not enough to run system smoothly!
I recommend you to upgrade the RAM at least to 4GB/6GB or better 8GB RAM to get better performance.
Regadign the drivers download:
The Win 7 driver can be downloaded here:

IMac G5 (w/iSight) running slow and hot on web browsers

Hello-
I've had my iMac for 4+ years and haven't any problems I couldn't fix on my own until now....
Machine is an iMac G5 w/ iSight with all original hardware except an extra 2GB of memory (for a total of 2.5). Over the last couple of months, my web browsers have begun to run slower and slower (mainly Safari, but I also use Firefox). Also the processor fan (I believe) comes on more quickly and frequently. It is now to the point that anytime there are any imbedded graphics, whether it's a youtube video, or a weather radar loop, or my kids are on webkinz, the fan kicks in and the top left corner gets extremely hot to the touch. As soon as I leave the page or close out the browser, the fan dies down. I cannot run any of these sites optimally. I am also getting quite a lot of page loading errors in Safari such as "Safari can't find the server." However, when I hit refresh the page comes right up. There does not seem to be a pattern to these messages. This only seems (so far) to be an issue with the browers. Today I simultaneously played a DVD, played songs on iTunes, and work in MS Word. No fan...
Here's what I've done so far:
Repaired disk permissions
Ran the extended hardware test (passed, no errors)
Ran diagnostics on my network connection (passed)
Reset Safari and Firefox incl. clearing the cache and deleting all cookies
Ran cleaning and maintenance w/ OnyX
Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated!
Thanks...
JD

Which Camino? Do you have the latest, which I think is 2.0.3? It's difficult to pinpoint why all your browsers might be slow to load.
You could try the Servers from OpenDNS which may be faster (and safer, since they are patched for DNS poisoning/redirects) than those of your ISP. Put these numbers in Network> DNS for the interface your are using, eg. Ethernet, Airport:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then check to see if it's working by going to
http://www.opendns.com/welcome/
You can also test your speeds here
http://www.speedtest.net/
Here's something to read on slow browsers (in this case, Safari, but applicable to any browser.)
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10354948-263.html
If the refresh option works quickly, that might indicate that your Internet speed is slow. Once you've been to a page, it's stored in the browser cache, so it doesn't need to reload everything from scratch. I don't notice any difference in speed from refresh loading, so I suppose my Internet speed, though only around 1MBPS, is fast enough not to have to depend on the cache.
I don't know for certain if that indicates a problem, but the CPU spiking temporarily to 100% on loading a page doesn't sound like a big problem. Your processor is by now relatively slow compared to newer machines and web pages are getting more complicated with more elements to load all the time.
Finally, those G5s do run kind of hot; it will only delay the arrival of the hottest temps, but putting a fan at the back does help a little. I use one even on this new iMac.

SQL Developer running slow, possibly caused by Java Virtual Machine

Dear all
I am currently working with SQL Developer 1.5.1, connecting to an Oracle database 10.2.0.2 and it is taking about 10 minutes for SQL Developer to load. I believe the problem may be due to the Java Development kit. I upgraded to the latest version last week.
The versions running according to Java settings is:
1.6 1.6.0_15 http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe true

1.4 1.4.2 http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin\javaw.exe trueHaving looked at other posts on here I have run SQL Developer with the console and the messages in that are as follows:

/sqldeveloper/ide/lib/ide-boot.jar, by sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@9627532]I also use a photo Web Site, which is unrelated to my Oracle work but for it's photo uploader also uses Java, and that is running slow, which is why I think the problem is Java based. I would say the problem occurred within the last couple of months but has got much worse in recently weeks. SQL Developer is also slow at times, mainly when I've used another application and it is just in the background.
Kind regards

Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I use GeoRaptor and for what I use it for, I have not come across any errors whilst using it.
I had no reference to the JDK in my SQL Developer configuration file. I did a search on my system and could not located a copy of JDK, or one in my programs installed control panel, so I installed it again. However I then found a copy in the sqldeveloper folder. However that wasn't referenced in my control panel.
However having added a reference to the JDK in my SQL Developer configuration file, pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16, it seems to be taken even longer to load.
SQL Developer is using 98,608k once loaded and my system has 1.25GB of memory. Whilst loading I was using 1.38GB. For about a year I've had slightly less memory than I sometimes use. The reason for not having 2GB is due to a previous memory failure. However this did not cause a problem for SQL developer until more recently.
Would it be worth reinstalling GeoRapter?
Kind regards
Tim

LUMIA 800 - Clock running slow!

Hi there,
I have a bizarre problem with my Lumia 800 running on Optus - the clock runs slow! I have had to set the clock multiple times since I got it, and within about a week of setting it each time the clock is several minutes behind time. **bleep** about a fortnight of setting it the time reads over 10 minutes behind where it should be. I've noticed that unlike on a lot of other phones, there is no 'sync time automatically' or similar feature on the Lumia 800.
**bleep** a quick Google search, the only other mention I found similar to this problem was on another Nokia thread, of people on 3 UK complaining that their clock was actually running too fast:
/t5/Nokia-with-Windows-Phone/On-board-clock-waaay-fast-Lumia-800/td-p/1334499
Unfortunately there didn't seem to be a solution to their problem
For the record my phone was purchased through Optus, and I haven't made any modifications to it whatsoever. I have updated it with the latest firmware, however the problem has persisted since I first got the phone.
Can anyone please help me?

Hi all, sorry for the delay getting back to you - for the record, I'll second the above replies and say that there's definitely no option to set time automatically on my Lumia 800..
Strangely enough, my issue resolved itself after a few months and I have no idea what fixed it!
On perhaps an unrelated note, for a period of about a month or two, my phone would routinely notify me about a new software update that was available. I connected my phone to the computer and updated the software, only for it to tell me a few days later that another update was available. After a couple of weeks of this, I looked into the update version and found it was the same update every time. Once again, this makes no sense to me whatsoever.
I have to say that I was really excited when I bought the Lumia 800, thinking that Microsoft (and Nokia) would bend over backwards to support the few customers that made the switch from iPhones etc. to such a fledgling platform, but I've since found that after-sales support has been pretty poor (evidenced in part by the lack of official response to this thread). I'm also really disappointed that Microsoft have essentially ditched their most loyal customers by upgrading to Windows Phone 8 without support for 7.5 users. Instead we've been waiting in the dark for the 7.8 update that still hasn't come out yet..
Apologies for the rant, thanks to the above users for trying to help me out - hope your phone issues resolve themselves also!
