File Server/AFP gets slow after a week or so

Hi all,
I manage a file server at our office here, with around 20-30 users, running 10.3.9 server. Users connect via AFP for general office duties, but also remote-desktop into a windows server using Rdesktop via X11. They use SMB to access their files from the windows side.
I find after a week or so that logins to the shares, and general file access gets incredibly slow, and grinds to a halt eventually, but comes good after the server is rebooted.
It is usually quick to authenticate in any case, but takes an age to bring up the list of shares that the users can pick from (probably 10-15 at most depending on their permissions). Even after a fresh reboot it takes about 10 seconds to bring up the list of shares to pick from. Is there any way to fix this?
I find that is someone has their computer set to calculate folder sizes on a server drive/share it can make the server grind to a standstill, but even with everyone set up correctly it still goes slowly all by itself after a few days/weeks of running. Logging in via Remote Desktop becomes slow at this point too.
I've tried some of the tips in this thread below with only limited success.

Any help is greatly appreciated

As you upgraded the router's firmware,reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure the router from scratch.
On the router setup page,Under the Wireless tab,click on the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75, Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 and Click on Save Settings...

I have iphone3gs just upgraded to iOS5 just now.
So far i am not experiencing any slow down because of the new iOS.. Rather i feel like its slightly faster than the previous version (4.3.5)..
One of the first thing i want to try was the location based reminders.. After upgrade i coudn't find the option, and went trough the user manual to find out that it is not available for 3gs..:(

Firefox gets slow after awhile and also hangs and sometimes i get plugin-container.exe error

Hello, it's a while that Firefox gets slow and also hangs and sometimes i get plugin-container.exe error...
I'm not sure but maybe it often happens after monitor goes to Screen Saver or after it turns off...
Error signature
AppName: plugin-container.exe AppVer:1.2.9.3951
ModVer: 5.1.2600.5512 Offset:0000100b

You can run Java in Firefox.exe instead of plugin-container.exe, but I'm not sure that actually would be better than where you are now.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''java''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If '''dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled''' is true (bolded), right-click it and choose Reset (or double-click it to toggle).
If that value already is false, you might be having a problem with another common plugin such as Flash.

Getting slow after one month

Hi,
I bought my mac last month and everything was super! Until recently, I just noticed that my mac is getting slow. For example, if I go to 'Finder/Applications my sub-menus don't open as they used to (I have as "View: Show items as icons, in a list, in columns, or with cover flow" . It takes second to do preview to look at folders.
Please advice. What can I do????????? Everything is fine. I am happy with it I just liked the quick/fast privilege that Mac has
Thank you so much.
cnia2

here is the answer to that problem, might sound crazy, but it dose work !!
"The way to fix the five second openning on the folders. Jack the double mouse click speed to the highest setting. The higher the double click the faster the folders in the finder open. Sounds crazy, but it work for me. When set to a low setting the folders in the finder take about 3-5 seocnds to open. I sent bug reports to Apple."

Getting Slow after Migration to a new Mac

Every time, I've bought a new Mac and using Migration Assistant to migrate my data to new Mac. The new Mac is getting slower, not look like a hardware upgrade. For example, my Macbook Pro i5 needs more than 10 seconds to start MS Word while my MBA needs less than 2 seconds.
Will there so many scrap or unused data migrated from my old mac? And my "migration data" has been accumulated for several times since 5~6 years ago. I've used this "migration data" for every new Mac arrives. So, This is not the first time I've expereinced, this was happens several times when I bought a new Mac.
Please note that Spotlight Indexing is complete.
Thanks.
Regards,

Thanks for your suggestions. I've updated the software already (noticing that it was system, i-movie and garage band which were being updated) but that didn't help. Previously that did help for i-photo though.
Anyway, I tried the sudo thing, I got the following messages but still no i-movie :

Iphone get slower after downlaoding ios 7

my iphone 4 has become very slow after downlaoding ios 7. games stuck and apps open slowly,screen lock stuck some time. during typing a message text shows after some time.

Hi tj786,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are experiencing performance issues after upgrading to iOS 7, follow these steps:
If you have not already, I recommend first restarting, and then resetting your iPhone:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article with these steps here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If you are still experiencing the same issue, I recommend resetting all settings next:
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose Reset All Settings: All your preferences and settings are reset.
Reset iPhone settings
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7a2a9399b
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

My MacBook Pro is REALLY slow after a week of running Yosemite perfectly

I have a MacBook Pro (about 3 years old) and I have never had any problems with it.
When Yosemite was released I updated and my MacBook ran perfectly and faster then before for a little over a week. Then all of a sudden it became SO incredibly slow. There is a waiting time on everything that has to do with a computer; from when I make a keystroke to the letter actually pops up on the screen, when I click an icon to launch a program, and so - I think you get the picture. Always the **** rainbow circle.
I have searched so many forums online and tried a lot of different things such as re-indexing spotlight, the "Hold down the left shift, option and control keys together with the power button-trick", various "sudo" commands in terminal, cleaning out junk (not in a very structured matter, just old files I didn't need anymore). To be honest I have no idea what I am doing, I just try whatever the smart people in the forums suggest.
I am lucky to have very recently been gifted a brand new MacBook Pro retina bla bla bla, which I am writing this from now, so it's not really an emergency situation. It's just really annoying to have a MacBook I can't use and that also has ALL of my previous work and programs on it.
SO here's another question: I would just really like to back my old MacBook up using Time Machine but as the MacBook is REALLY SLOW so is the back up process. At first it was stuck on "preparing" but I figured it was because my 500GB TM external harddrive was too small, so I bought a new 1TB external harddrive. Right now my old MacBooks is performing a back up and has passed the "preparing" stage, but after around 20 hours it has no time estimation and has only backed up "1.28 GB of 98.29 GB" and I feel like this is WAY too ineffective and really shouldn't take that long. I cant wait 100 days for this thing to back up ?!?!?!?!
So basically I have a seriously slow MacBook Pro, so slow it actually cannot be used and so slow it cannot back up.
I tried using Migrant Assistant via bluetooth to my new MacBook, but as you probably have guessed - over 24 hours later it was still stuck, and I also had my doubts because I thought if the slow, demonic MacBook would simply just infect and possess my new, pure, virgin MacBook.
So this was probably confusing.
To sum it up:
- I am a girl and I am a technical neanderthal <3
- I have 2 MacBooks; one slow, one brand new - both running up-to-date Yosemite and other updates are on fleek
- It would be ideal for me to use Migrant Assistant to set my new Macbook to what I'm used to - can this be done without screwing up my new MacBook?
- I can't seem to get TM working on my old one - can I bring my iPhoto and iTunes library to safety manually (like my other folders)?
- I have not been a good girl, and that means my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
I really don't want to just wipe it completely, as I don't want to lose the programs I have installed - it's just such a hassle to reinstall and codes and what not.
Extra info if it's necessary to anyone:
I have monitored the CPU% for some time in the Activity Monitor and when literally no programs but the Activity Monitor is open and the CPU% of free CPU is 98% the computer is STILL ----------- SO --------------- SLOooooooooow..... ( just to clarify I have checked if there's random program that takes up all the CPU; there's not). Also I have no clue what CPU is so, if I have used it in a weird way in these sentences, please forgive me.
Product:
MacBook Pro (13", primo 2011)
OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Memory:
215.31 GB free out of 318.84 GB
My System Memory looks like this at CPU% = 1.15 right now :
"real memory" : 38.9 MB
"virtual memory" : 2.48 GB
"shared memory" : 20.4 MB
"private memory" : 10.6 MB
I have no idea what any of this means or if it has any significance, but it said that I should include it.
Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
I really really really hope that someone can (and want to) help me. It's not that I don't want to take it to any Mac-certified store, it's just I live in Denmark and the people who work at these stores always just say that they can "wipe it clear" so it's "as good as new" for a 100 bucks. We don't have Genius Bars and stuff..... I would really be so happy if ANYONE have just ANY solution to what would be a good idea to do now.
THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance
Anne Katrine

Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

XI getting slow after process very large message.

Hi All,
I had load data more than 50 MB after that I cannot access any function from browser(RWB,message monitoring,..) but in ABAP side that still work fine. I guess that j2ee engine still process the message that is a reason. So how I can stop the process when I load the the large files. I already try delete queue,delete workitem from SWWL,cancel the message. But nothing happen XI still very slow.
Do I have to only start/stop J2EE engine?
Could you please to advice?
Thanks
Park

HI Park Saeiam ,
in adition to Marcos
If the "browser" functions are not working it is possible that the java part of the XI just crashed and you have to restart the J2EE engine. your message may show error HTTP STATUS CODE 401 authorization error
this error generally occurs when java part of the XI crashes and server is unable to recognise your browser and your credentials.
In that case you need to restart J2EE engine and also you need to manually restart all asynchronous messages which will come in error due to restarting of J2EE engine.
I advise you not to create such huge messages.
also you may try to send this kind of huge message through IDOC package
IDocs are normally sent in packages between systems. You configure this within the IDoc configura-tion partner profile by specifying processing mode Collect IDocs and transfer. IDocs are then proc-essed by report RSEOUT00 in the sender system. During inbound processing in the IDoc adapter of the Integration Server, this IDoc package is split up into single XI messages. Therefore, an IDoc pack-age cannot be processed as one unit within XI. This also has an impact on performance.
In SP11, a solution will be available for IDoc adapter outbound processing to collect IDoc-XML mes-sages and transfer them as an IDoc package, as in the traditional IDoc world.
The IDoc adapter is designed to be able to process IDoc-XML structures that represent IDoc pack-ages.

Mac gets slow after installed OS X 10.5 Leopard

Dear All,
Hope you had a great Christmas!!
As I mentioned, after I upgrade my OS X10.4 to 10.5 Leopard my Mac gets very slow to start the machine. Normally takes less than minute to start to operate, but now it takes long time to load.
First I thought it because of my hard drive running low space so I moved most of files to my external hard drive, left 57G free space but nothing is improved.
Any ideas why? Anyone knows how to improve the speed?
Thanks for your helps!
Michael

Sounds plenty sufficient to me.
according to a quick google search, mdworker is related to spotlight, indexing what/where/content of files.
there may be other ppc stuff lurking, especially if this is not your first mac and you used migration wizard to move from a PPC to intel mac.
Thats what I did...and was quite unhappy with the perfrmance.
I finally found a QT plugin that was (one of the things) killing my quads performance. (select the plugin, do a get info, it'll tell you if its PPC or universal) QT plugins do not show in activity monitor.
Found another firefox plugin that did the same.
activity monitor shows relative processor usage.
with no programs open other than activity monitor, whats using a high percentage of processor?
Oh, and if you have an old copy of Norton utilities, that will cause all sorts of problems. The only Norton/symantec product that is still OK to use is their anti-virus, and then, only version 8 or higher. System saver and all the other parts of NU just cause problems under X.
As longs as you have at least 15% of your disk free, you should be OK there.
Much below that, and the system will complain and start doing strange things.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Super! It seems to work! I did the following:
1 Uninstall existing pc-connectivity-solution
2 Download the ovi suite from www.ovi.com (Nokia_Ovi_Suite_websintaller.exe
3 Start installer on other PC
4 located / monitored the folder: C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local Settings\Temp\Nokia Nseries Update Manager\PC Connectivity Solution
5 Copied the PCCS_8_22_7_0.msi file to own PC
6 Installed the msi
7 Checked version of ServiceLayer.exe in C:\Program Files\PC Connectivity Solution (version should then be 7.0.14.0)
For me it solved the following:
- Slow response starting explorer via Windows key + E
- Slow response starting Word by double clicking on file
- Slow response starting Excel by double clicking on file

Windows 2003 server access getting slow from Windows7/8 client

We have Windows 2003 Enterprise Server. If I try to access through Windows 7 or Windows 8 client PC then I am getting very slow access. Slow access in terms of, if I am taking remote desktop of server [OR] if I directly browse server directory [OR] even
accessing any web application on server it is very slow.
But if I am accessing though any Windows-XP base client or even other servers having Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 then access in good.
But interesting thing is even we have other Windows 2003 server for which I am getting normal response.
Can someone guide me on the same? I am not able to understand the root cause of it.

USB 2.0 devices get slow after standby / hibernation when docked for Windows 7

Hello,
I am the proud owner of a Lenovo ThinkPad T400. I am having difficulty with my usb 2.0 devices not hooking up to my computer after I resume my computer from hibernation or sleep modes. I tried searching the forum for someone who has had the problem and I seem to have found nothing, but if I missed something I am sorry for the inconvenience. I found this link (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73031) but this fix is for XP. Should this still work the same for 7? Is there any other fix that I do not know about?
Thanks in advance for your help.

pjg,
Did you have the same problem with your T500? I did not ever to seem to have this problem until recently. I am trying to figure out if I am missing something inside windows that would detect all of the USB components plugged into it. I don't remember having this problem with Vista. I would not think that there should be much of a difference, with respect to this issue, from Vista to 7.
I bought my machine when Vista was available and I did not notice a long lag time for USB devices, so I upgraded to 7 and I just re-installed all of the software that Lenovo puts on their machines (the preloaded factory stuff) and there was no change. I am running out of ideas to try and fix this.
