Fix for Win XP slow down with iPod 5G

So, this helped me and hopefully it will help you if you have USB 2.0:
Go to device manager and look at your USB devices. Right click on the USB device that is labled "enhanced", "high-speed", or "usb 2.0" Click on disable. After I did that, I went to the iPod updater and restored it. When that was done, Windows redetected my iPod and iTunes opened up. Im uploading as I type!

I've been battling this problem for months now. I thought I had it figured out playing with APIC...but turns out it was just a fluke that the drivers worked the one time. Anyone that can throw out any suggestions are welcome. I've done everything possible I can think of... there's a thread on here that I started about 6 months ago with this problem.

3g slow down with unjailbroken iphone

Is this slow down with os4 affecting anyone with an unjailbroken iphone 3g or am i the only one
problems im currently facing
slide to answer bar not sliding resultinting in loads of missed calls
slow text input
apps crashing
phone crashing
apps very slow to start

You are not alone!! Although there are a lot of nice new features with iOS4 if I could revert back to the old OS I would. I am experiencing all of the problems you describe with the addition of the device switching itself off for no reason, then taking an age to restart.
I am guessing that the hardware in the 3G just isn't up to the job anymore, but some kind of warning from Apple about possible negative impacts on useability might have been nice.
As Steve Jobs said a few days ago "we care about every user" so lets see if they do anything to sort this out for iPhone 3G users

An application I have used for years suddenly slowed down.

A CAD application I have used for years suddenly slowed down to a crawl. It is virtually unusable. My other apps seem ok.
The application in question runs under Rosetta since it is a PPC app.
I have plenty of disk space and nothing obvious has changed. Any ideas how to resolve this problem will be appreciated.

Tethering with AT&T, any slow down with increased use?

I am between buying a Iphone4 and a DroidX. The tie-breaker likely is going to be tethering. Apparently on a DroidX with Verizon, after 5 gigs, the intenet slows down to a crawl, something I can't live with. I gather there is no slow down with AT&T, you just pay more, $10 per gig. Do I have that right? Does tethering the Iphone4 work as well as a wireless card? Thanks.

It works fine...did I mention it was EXPENSIVE!

Fix for a very slow browser

Hello All,
I hope this helps.
Here's my problem. My browser, when wireless, had slowed down dramatically. Loading pages took forever. I tried it at home and the office and both were slow.
When I plugged it directly into the Ethernet it was blazingly fast. Made me want to cry
I tried many of the things suggested here including clearing cache etc.
Here's what worked for me. Corrupt network config file I guess.
System Preferences
Network
Location tab click to "New Location"
Name it Apple (or anything you like)
Click Apply
See if that works for you. Fixed 2 weeks of frustration for me!

Thanks for posting this Justin. I'm sure it will help others wondering what happened to their browser speed,
Also, consider adding 4.2.2.2 to your Network>Airport>TCP> DNS servers box, selecting "apply". This too may help in the speed department.

New IMAC slowing down with spinning ball

I've had my MAC for about 3 weeks (I switched from a PC). Today it started slowing down. First whe n I tried to print something and then when I was in Excel (Office for MAC 2004). Both times it didn't do anything for a minute and then the clorful spinning ball thing appeared. About a minute later it finished what I was doing (saving a template file).
I looked at the system memory and I have 2GB of RAM with an OK status. I have two printers - one USB attached to my MAC and the other on another computer (Windows) that I am sharing. This was not a problem before, so I don't expect this to be the issue, but I figured I'd mention it anyway.
I haven't bought virus software yet - perhaps I have a virus?
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Macs don't get viruses, so you can rule that out. Do you have any shared drives or network connections? Something there could be slowing things down. If you do have some connections, try disconnecting them and see if that speeds up your access. When was the last time you rebooted the machine? You could always try that.
There is a utility in applications\utilities called "Activity Monitor". You could look there to see if anything is hogging the memory or processor. Have you installed anything recently?

Fix for Safari 5 hanging up with loading pages

After reading the other extensive threads on this topic, one of the articles linked in those threads that helped me the most is found here... http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
The solution appears to be the DNS problem for many new Safari 5 users (if not most). The article linked above demystified DNS for me. I added the OpenDNS numbers in the windows entitled "DNS Server" at System Preferences > Network. Safari 5 on my computer now works at lightning speed. The added benefit to doing this is that it is much faster than my previous DNS servers, and it is more secure.
I hope that Apple will spread the word about this simple and fast solution, because many Safari 5 users are very frustrated right now.

I also have problem with hanging up freezing up and all the above and actually Safari 5 made my entire computer inclosing other browsers I use very slow now,
so I hope Apple come up with a fast fix for this soon because a lot of people have problems I have three laptops in my family my kids tonight said they have the same exact problem as far as using the DNS that you were talking about I'm afraid that I would run into some security issues I am not sure if it is something Apple would also suggest to all the people that are having this problem. I have not seen any feedback yet on open DNS

Has anybody else noticed a 10-25% openGL slow down with 10.7.5?

Hi, I was running x-plane 9.70 at certain settings on my 17" MBP (early 2011, 10.7.3) and noticed I was getting about 70 fps... nice. I do an update on firmware and OS (10.7.5) and I notice that the x-plane fps has dropped to about 55. The settings and environment the same as near as I can get. I thought this was bad but maybe just x-plane or something peculiar. I also couldn't tell if the performance drop was caused by the firmware update or the OS update.
I remembered I'd done an xbench benchmark with 10.7.3 so I did a new one with the updates... sure enough the openGL numbers had dropped by 20% or so. So, I hooked up my backup drive with 10.7.3 on it and ran x-plane and xbench again to try to isolate the firmware update from the OS update.... The results were x-plane still showed a drop of about 10% and xbench about 25%. Looks like there is something wrong in 10.7.5.
Has anybody else noticed a performance slow down in openGL functions with 10.7.5?

Thank you for this first reply! I'll have to give this a try later....the main laptop I experience this on crashed not more than an hour after I posted this issue. I'm on a tiny, slow netbook that hasn't had the same problem. Now I'm wondering if I picked up a Trojan on the main laptop and the "Not Responding" message is a side effect of a virus or Trojan.
One of the system .dll files has been corrupted and I'm not being allowed to use recovery discs, previous disc images, or any recovery options. That was an all day sucker yesterday and from what I've read on forums and have researched, it appears I'm going to need to reload the operating system. If it is indeed a Trojan/virus, I'm surprised it made it through my antivirus and firewall. Anything is possible, really.
Thanks again, I'll get back with results once I get the wounded laptop back up and running.

Render Queue Slows Down with Large Queue

I recently bought a 2014 Mac Pro for the specific purpose of rendering large volumes of After Effects Compositions.
I am rendering approximately 40,000 After Effects Compositions - the reason being that I am using an After Effects Script to create personalised videos from a CSV file.
I've segmented the list into batches of around 1,000 at a time and each film is 1m25s long. I am also using the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL). The videos are added from After Effects into AME.
The Problem
When I start the render, it churns them out at about 3 minutes per video. If I leave it for more than around 9 hours, the render time dramatically slows down. After leaving it for more than 24 hours (a weekend) I've seen render times of around an hour per composition.
Question
Is there a way to stop the queue from slowing down?

I've noticed it with more than 40+ objects in the Queue as well. Now I just save the Queue and stop and exit and re-open if it looks like it's slowing down. Mind you this is a 4Ghz Hex core, 64GB Ram and Quadro 5000 + Tesla C2075 so I know it's not a system issue. CC prior to CC (2014) I never experienced this issue.

IPhone 3G screen response slowing down with OS updates

My iPhone is getting slower with every new update of the OS. Sliding bar, received SMS list...generally every screen presentation now takes 1 or more seconds to display. This has only slowed down after the last couple of OS updates. Not happy...it used to have an instant response. Is the new programming for the new iPhone 4 included slowing down the OS for iPhone 3G?

iOs4x definitely does slow down a 3G. The 3G just doesn't have a powerful enough processor.
One trick that seems to make a big difference is to switch off Spotleight indexing. Go to Settings, General, Spotlight Search amd deselect all items.

Slowing down with Office:mac

ever since installing office:mac (yesterday) my new macbook slowed down a LOT! Is it now handling this software well? I noticed it was VERY slow with PPT especially. I was putting together a presentation with .jpegs and the machine bogged right down...
any body HELP?

Hey, nice to see another user from TO.
I am replying to your question since I feel that my whole Mac is acting strangely since I installed Office. Is it your Mac or just Office for you?
I just set up a second user account and was amazed at how fast things ran on it.
As mentioned in other reply, Rosetta is the reason Office:Mac more slowely since it was written for Power PC and Rosetta must translate in order for Intel Macs to use it but i am curious if it is slowing down your machine too.

Scan slows down with each increment of loop

Hi
I am using labview to raster scan a piezo stage and collect fluorescence. To do the scanning, I have an X loop and a Y loop. Each iteration of the loop steps a voltage which is output (using DAQmx assistant) through a PCI 6229. It's very bizarre because the scan rate starts very fast (I monitor by probing the X) but subtly slows down after each iteration. When I stop the application and restart (without exiting labview) it remains slow and even gets slower. When I exit Labview and restart the program, it begins fast again, and then slows down. Any ideas??

A very inefficient programming method is your use of "insert into array" to append new data, especially since you insert a column at a time. The way the data is linearly arranged in memory, replacing a column requires rewriting of the entire array every time because the new elements are not consecutive in memory.
(I would think that appending a row at a time would be slightly more efficient, because they would be written consecutively, and at the end of the array in your case. This would be identical to a simple "built array" node).
Still, all these methods cause a resizing operation of the array, always an expensive condition that should be avoided.
Preallocating a fixed size array, then replacing rowns as you go is the most efficient. The array memory is allocated once.
You should update your graph as little as practical, so definitely not a pixel at a time. A row at a time is probably OK but if the loop rate is very fast, you could even put the graph in a case structure and update only every 10th iteration.

Slow down with update!

I just updated to GB 08 and it has slowed down by a lot, my computer is a 2.33 Macbook Pro with 2 gigs, I don't know why it is doing this, I already optimized the system settings. Is my desktop or hard drive too full or what?

I totally agree.
This is the first update of GB, or, frankly, iLife in general I've been totally bummed about. Aside from iPhoto (barely) I not only feel like I wasted $79+tax, I feel like I wasted $79+tax for 4 programs that are slower, and overall WORSE than their predecessors.
I didnt' say 5 programs because it won't even let me install iMovie '08, even though I run the latest version of every other high-end video, audio and graphics app without even a hiccup.
In my humble opinion I think Apple is getting haughty. I think that after finally getting some much-deserved market success, they're starting to make the same sorts for mistakes the Sonys, and Microsofts of the world make: rushing bloated, glitchy software out the door and not responding to level-headed criticism; placing arbitrary hardware "requirements" designed to force loyal customers to upgrade; etc; etc.
And no, from everything I've read they DO NOT paruse these forums. Which is a huge, huge, huge mistake.

Severe Site Slow-Down with multiple DNS/Sites

Alright.. this is a bit of a strange situation, any help is appreciated because I'm pretty much out of troubleshooting options.
Mac OS X Server hosting a few important sites and then several "redirect" sites.
- A PHP/MySQL system
- 2 normal PHP/MySQL websites
- 8 Redirects (domain.bz, domain.biz, domain.name, etc..)
The redirects are set up like so:
- A DNS entry with a "www" alias pointing to the local machine.
- A site with a .html file containing a meta-refresh to domain.com
The Redirects work just fine when they are enabled, www.domain.biz goes to www.domain.com, etc.. however, the 3 sites that run on the server experience severe slow-down to the point of not even loading.
Normally the sites are blazingly fast..
Anyway, if the redirect site entries are disabled, the slow-down disappears.
As an added oddity.. if Safari is experiencing the slowdown, but I cancel the site load.. the site pulls up missing images/css in varying degrees, depending on when I cancel, so it's like something is "hanging".
There's nothing apparent in the error logs other than a report that 'there is a mismatch between the domain name and reverse DNS' etc.. 'may cause some services to not work properly'.

Nevermind, I found the problem.
The performance cache was enabled for the redirect sites.

Any fix for the "remembering passwords" problem with MAIL?

I've been following the other threads on this topic. I am a new Mac user (all of 5 days) with 10.5.2 preinstalled on a macbook pro, so this is not a migration problem. Applecare has been unable to resolve the issue. My setup is a Verizon FIOS POP account. I've tried all the repairing, creating keychain suggestions. My incoming and outgoing accounts function properly, then they mysteriously forget the login credentials. Is there any fix for this, this seems absurd coming from a PC background? Thanks.

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.
