G4/Tiger 10.4.11 slows to a crawl

My Mac has slowed to a crawl, possibly connected to the recent security update. I have a clone of my main HDD, on which I continually update the User file (my data) but not the rest of it (system & apps), so I am wondering about cloning my backup drive onto my main HDD to get back to where I was before the trouble started. I have plenty of RAM (1.63 Gb) and 300Gb of free space on my drive.
My backup drive is not bootable (for reasons relating to the external case's chipset), so I would boot from my Install DVD, open Carbon Copy Cloner from the backup drive, and clone everything except my user file (just in case!).
Would this plan get my main drive back to where it was before the update, or is there something I am not thinking of?
Thanks for the help.

I don't think booting from the DVD gives you a really usable version of OSX, just one that will run the features on the DVD. In other words, I don't think you can run CCC from the install DVD.
If that won't work, can I use Disk Utility to copy the entire backup drive onto the main drive?
Have you done the usual repair permissions and repair your drive using disk utility?
Have done so, booting from Install disk. Have also run Yasu a couple of times.
Here's a bunch of other reading:
I have looked at Dr. Smoke's site for speedup tips (where he first recommends lots of RAM and free disk space, both of which I have), and will look at some of the others you mentioned, but this problem is not just a slowdown. I am used to being on a 2000 Mac that is slower than my my 2005 iBook, but the old box has gone from being merely not lightning-fast to being pretty much unusable overnight.
F'rinstance, I choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, and it takes 20 or more seconds for the window to show up. Getting email in Thunderbird is so slow that I have to assume that it has frozen, but it is not; it just takes a half minute for any command to execute.

PB Slowed to a crawl.

Lately I've noticed many of the applications I'm using have been slowed to a crawl. Even mail will freeze up and crash. I have updated to 10.4.4 recently, and everything else in Software Update. I have my PB repaired back in September... got a new hard drive and logic board (took ages to complete). I've done clean installs as recently as a month ago (reformat and install Tiger). I even tried keeping my music on an external drive to free up space (though I have well over 50% of free space with the 15 gigs of music). What's going on here?
I have the first 12" powerbook... rev. A, 867 mhz, 640 mb ram (maxed out). It's a little over 2.5 years old, but the hard drive and logic board is new. I've repaired permissions countless times. I've run Activity Moniter to see if any application is eating the RAM... but I'm frugal when running my applications... I never have less than 290MB of free (real) memory. I'm running out of options and my patience is going with it. Even the user interface slows to a crawl when an application stops responding (which happens quite often now)... I remember when the UI ran flawlessly even when an application wasn't.
Something's up; Why is my PowerBook acting like a crappy, spy-ware infested PC?
12" PowerBook G4 rev. A 867 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.4) Airport Extreme, 640MB

I don't think many of you actually read the posts. I said the problem was solved when I disabled Secure Virtual Memory so obviously my HD is in fine condition. I repair permissions on a regular basis and I back-up daily (since I lost my HD back in september). Once again, I am only concerned with the fact that 10.4.4 seemed to hurt the performance and stability of my powerbook when Secure Virtual Memory was turned on (it worked fine when I was running 10.4.3). In other words, which I have repeated above, it's a shame I have to sacrifice security for speed and stability.

My Macbook Pro is about 4 to 5 years old. I've noticed the last few months that speed was becoming much slower. It slowed to a crawl last week and won't even turn on now. Where do I take this to near Jackson, Michigan for service?.

Things You Can Do To Keep Your Computer From Slowing Down
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

Why has my native windows 7 Pro-64 network to a windows 7 Pro-64 VM has slowed to a crawl and freezes, after the new Arris cable modem was installed?

Please appreciate the details, so the complete situation can be visualized:
The office network:
New Mac Mini PC running Win 7Pro 64, (in boot camp), networked to an iMac running the same Win 7 Pro 64, VM, UNDER Fusion 7Pro.
To review: My treatment rooms former dell PC/running vista business/ running the server and network versions of my Dental practice mgmt & X-ray capture apps, had no probs WLAN to the front desk iMac running the same PC client dental network apps under the same vista business, & Fusion 4. The dell slowly fried its power supply .
I could not wait to replace it with a Mac mini/ boot camp/ win7 pro 64 bit, as it has to run natively to capture X-rays. The front desk iMac was also upgraded to os10.10.3/ Fusion 7pro/ and its own matching Win7 pro 64bit. The iMac is wired and WLAN connected to a netgear d600 router and a Time Warner Cable modem. The modem then failed and was replaced by an arris modem. As the Arris was configured out of the box, the network ran much slower slowed, as compared to the original modem. BUT- The Vonage 2 line phone system stopped working- no incoming or outgoing voices could be heard after it rang. Then twc remote configured it and the phone now works, but the network iMac slowed to a crawl, and now freezes when accessing the Mac Mini PC dental server to edit or enter data. The Mini perfectly accesses the internet via wifi. It accesses the front desk canon printer by wifi, and can print share they the iMac that is wired to the printer, as well, BUT, the network connection is a spinning pinwheel. The front desk imac easily finds the Mac Mini PC server on the network. It connects easily by entering the servers IPv4 address SHOULD THAT last value change. But if data isn't entered in slow motion, the window and app freezes, and has to be force quit by Task Manager!
Cause:
1. I think TWC switched the cable modem from the default- Non Bridged, to Bridged mode. Could this be the cause?
2. The network setting in fusion, on the iMac is auto detect, a setting that always worked with vista and with the new Win7 system, before TWC installed the new arris modem. 3. Switching to NAT does not work at all is there a different setting to use?
3. Does the Netgear Router have to have a port or pref configured so as not to block the Server.
4. might in need an Access Point (I have an extra netgear wdr3400) ).
5. Do I need an Extender that plugs into the AC LINE?
I hope this info helps.
PS:(some addtl info:
1. File sharing works fine between the minis -Mac and boot camp sides and between the iMacs- Mac and VM sides and between eother side to or from either of the 2 computers! 2. Also either office computer and all of my my home macs , (& my iPad, & iPhone), can access each other instantly and flawlessly, with splash top streamer and jump desktop remote apps, as controller or as client! In fact, the front desk iMac can remote control the mini PC AS IF YOU WERE DIRECTLY ENTERING INFO I TO IT!
SO I think it's either a misconfiguration in the TWC cable modem &/or some additional pref to config in the router? Thanks so much for your help, (been using VM's since VPC1. & Win95 in a iMac, 1999, DV MODEL! (TWC BLAMES VONAGE FOR NOT OPENING SOME PORTS IN THE TELE MODEM. Vonage blames TWC FOR NOTopeningj ITS PORTS IN THE CABLE MODEM, when they meant the ports on the Netgear. They have passed the buck for 6 weeks with not even a guess at what to do. VERY FRUSTRATING! Again, thanks to all!

Okay Saint Steven, I'll bite:
I read your description multiple times, very carefully, and I am still confused. May I suggest the following:
* Follow basic troubleshooting procedures. Isolate each individual problem. Don't try to get everything working at once. Make one change at a time.
* If I read your description correctly, the Netgear D600 (??) Router is the office LAN (not WLAN). Connect each piece on the LAN separately one-by-one, and test each piece individually. Get your LAN and its devices working first. Forget about the Vonage and the Arris Cable modem.
* Next, look at your Internet connection. Again, try each piece separately. Depending on how the original cable modem and the new Arris cable modem are configured, you may also have to adjust the configuration of the Netgear D600 Router.
* Finally, if you are still having problems, try to organize your thoughts and presentation before you post again. List each element in your network. List how each element is configured. Be systematic.
"Arris cable modem" does not help much - some are simple bridges, others are routers, etc.
To answer your questions:
1. I can't tell from your confusing description, but I don't think so. It seems like the problems are associated with the system changes you made (replacing Dell, etc.) and the problems seem to be isolated to the local LAN.
2. Auto detect should work, but it is easy to change and test, as long as you change one thing at a time.
3. No. The Netgear router should allow all communications on the local LAN. Could you have put the "server" in the DMZ?
Note: I could not find a Netgear "D600" model in a web search. Do you mean N600?
4. No. I doubt that you need an additional access point. Based on your description, everything appears to connect to the LAN.
5. No. See 4.
To repeat myself:
* Do careful, systematic troubleshooting.
* Provide carefully written, detailed description of your network and system configurations when you ask for help.
Good luck!

How can an external drive cause my Internet to slow to a crawl and then fail?

I have two WD My Passport Ultra 1 TB USB 3 new drives. One I'm using for Time Machine and one for CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner). I have been trying to use them with my new MacBook Pro retina 13-inch.
For the last few days I've had weird problems trying to connect them via a USB 3 hub. I though the hub was the problem (because things seemed to be fine until I introduced a hub into the equation) and already returned one.
But now I see the same thing happening even without the hub.
It appears that one drive, when connected to a USB 3 port (it doesn't matter which port), even when it's doing nothing (I erased and and removed the CCC task), causes the Internet to slow to a crawl, and then stop. All connectivity ceases.
The instant I unmount and remove the drive the Internet springs back to normal speeds - over wifi about 110 Mbps.
Disk Utility says there are no problems with the disk. So does WD's only diagnostic utility. And the firmware is up-to-date.
The other disk, running Time Machine, seems to have no issues at all.
I guess I will return this drive. It could be subtly defective in some way. But what way? Why would an external USB 3 drive affect the Internet connectivity?
doug

I came across this post while in search of the answer to the very same question only I am experiencing this problem when connecting to a USB 3.0 hub and nothing else. The resuling slowdown in my internet speed leaves me hanging intermittently between screens in Safari, sometimes indefinitely. When I remove the USB cable, normal speeds resume. Activity Monitor shows no undue load on the CPU. I did not notice this problem until just recently. Could this have something to do with the recent OSX patch.
BTW: I am running a 2012 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Anybody have a clue as to what might be going on here?

MacBook Pro Slowed to a CRAWL after less then a week....

Hello All,
I'm new to Mac. I just got a MacBook Pro last week.
Well, for some reason it has slowed to a crawl....
The dock show/hide and magnify isn't working either. Neither is the "active screen corners" feature on the dashboard. In addition to that, the system does not highlight menu items and show the submenus.
Also when starting applications they take forever to load.
It's acting like it has no ram even though it has 2 gigs and a 2.16 processor. The ram is showing up in the "About this MAC" screen though.
I've tried turning off all startup login items. Nothing is being loaded into memory. I've also tried running the disk utility.... still having the same problems.
I'm new to Mac so perhaps I'm missing something completely obvious.
What would you all suggest is going on, and what do I need to do to fix it?
Thank you
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

James:
I suspect Wizard's problems resulted from too many widgets and possibly some not quite compatible software. Slowdown can result from lack of free physical RAM, so that Virtual Memory swap files on disk have to be frequently accessed. I don't think he mentioned how much RAM is installed. His symptoms go beyond mere slowdown, however, so I would suspect other software problems as well.
Cutting way back on widgets together with restarting can work wonders sometimes.
OS X handles file fragmentation pretty well, for file sizes up to about 20 MB. It's probably not necessary to run defrag on a Mac unless one wants to clean up a large space for video work. I don't have defrag software. I'd rather wipe the drive (maybe once a year) and reload from a backup drive. I do swear by DiskWarrior, however, and hope they release an Intel version soon. DW does a great job of correcting disk and file errors and optimizes the directory.
Apple has been packing a lot of changes into OS incremental upgrades. To interpret that as comparable to Windows Service Packs probably isn't very accurate. Yes, some bugs are fixed but there have been steady upgrades of core features. Security fixes are often included as well. But I've experienced no stability problems whatever.
Some users recommend using Combo updates instead of using Software Update. I've always used Software Update and have never had a problem. The important thing, either way, is to make certain the operating system and disk directory are 'clean' and trouble-free before and after the update.
I've never had to do an OS reinstall except once, when I was tinkering with System files and slipped up. Routine preventive maintenance works.

My MacBook Pro 2/I7 has suddenly slowed to a crawl. No viruses.

Not much else to say. Worked great up 'til yesterday. Everything is now slow. Thought it was a virus. Bought latest Norton; did scan and no viruses or other related problems.

IPhoto slowed to a crawl - unusable - help!

hi
I returned to use iPhoto for the first time in a couple of months - during which I've updated to 10.5.2 and the latest iPhoto updates - now it's slowed to a crawl to a point where it's unusable - simply scrolling brings up the beachball - nothing's changed besides these updates - last photos added were at christmas - used to work smoothly and slickly
the library holds 7200 images - there's 30GB free on my 120GB hard drive
what I did so far was trash the prefs - empty caches - then rebuild the library checking all the option boxes
trashing the prefs and caches seems to help for a moment - on restarting iPhoto is more responsive for a minute or two but then soon gets jammed up again
I'm on the road and can't reinstall until getting home in a couple of weeks - next step I guess
been using macs since 1994, iPhoto since it's release - this has me stumped - anyone got any ideas?

Are you sharing between two or more Macs? If so try turning sharing off - some folks have found that helps a lot
Do you have Web Galleries that allow photos to be uploaded? It appears to me that that can slow things down while iPhoto syncs with the web galleries
You do not have a large library (I have about 22,000 photos and Old Toad has even more) and you have adequate free disk space
check turning sharing off if it is on and galleries syncing (you can see the little wheels spinning to the right of the web gallery name in the source pane) and see if there is anything else you think might contribute to the issue

HT1222 My internet speed has slowed to a crawl after installing security update 2015-003. Any ideas on how to fix?

I have a mini mac with 8GB ram and running yosemite OS. I recently installed security update 2015-003 and now my internet connectivity have slowed to a crawl. sometimes if I turn wi-fi off and then back on the speed returns to normal but sometimes it does not. Any ideas what may be causing the slow internet speed?

Please check the speed of your connection on this site.
Then start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Check again. Then restart as usual and post the results.

File copying has slowed to a crawl.

When I try to copy from my home directory to an external hard drive, (about 600mb of data in this instance), it starts to copy in the normal way, saying about a minute remaining, then suddenly stops...
... and waits, while "time remaining" increases.
A short while ago it got as far as saying 40 minutes!! For 600mb!!
I tried to launch my browser while this was happening & it was having none of it.
I tried to launch the "force quit applications" window. Again nothing.
Then I stopped it copying & the other things opened.
It's as if "copying" suddenly asks for more power than the computer can supply & everything else takes a back seat. The copying begins, but at an absolute snail's pace.
If I left if for 40 minutes it would probably copy successfully, but why so slow?
I have about 30GB of data I need to remove from my hard drive before I can do a clean install, but at this speed I don't think I'm going to live long enough!
I've run permissions checks & repairs on all drives concerned. I've run TechTools Pro diagnostics on everything & it's checking out fine.
So what could be the problem?

My problem turned out to be much more extensive than I'd originally realised.
My laptop had a faulty hard drive that needed replacing & the external hard drive seems to have developed a fault whereby it works fine for a while & then slows to a crawl, taking the machine with it. (ie Everything "finder" related seems to slow to a crawl.)
The external hard drive seems to behave itself if it's the only thing on the firewire chain.
Alternatively, if I have the dodgy drive on its own on the Firewire 400 socket & my other external hard drives chained off the Firewire 800 socket the dodgy drive behaves itself.
As soon as I try to copy from one external to the dodgy one it starts to play up, but as long as I just read data from it it's fine.
So I'll get the data off it & stop using it.
I hope your problems are not as extensive.

Processing time has slowed to a crawl since install of ViewSonic monitor.

All processing functions have slowed to a crawl since I installed a ViewSonic monitor VX2270Smh-LED. The system recognized the monitor immediately. It is connected through the Mini-DVI port on the MacBook Pro and through an adapter to the DVI port on the monitor. I have the displays configured as one very wide monitor so I can move windows back and forth. It doesn't seem to matter what I am working on, browser, spreadsheet, email, every command results in the spinning wheel.
Have looked for a driver for the ViewSonic but they don't make them. Is there something available with Apple that will help this?

To isolate whether the monitor is really the culprit I would run a benchmark without the monitor connected and with.
You should rely on the numbers from the benchmark to tell whether there is a difference. Perception can be a very dicey thing.
I have used xbench:
