G505s Charging problems - Very slow

Hi all,
I have a problem with my G505s. Whenever i plug it in to charge the PC slows down very much. Apps take a long time to open, Youtube videos take a long time to load and games which i have downloaded lag a lot, even on low settings.
I noticed this when i was playing a game; the settings i had were 'Ultra' in which there was no lag but when i plugged in the charger the game was completely unplayable. i switched the settings down to 'low' but there was still a considerable amount of lag.
The laptop has a short battery life already and hardly being able to use it while charging makes this worse.
Can someone offer a solution?
Thanks

AMD A8 4500M

Hi Adreeslnator,

In most countries they will do so for a fee. US$199 for a 4S. It may just need a new battery, which Apple will install for about US$70.

Re: Mail under Mountain Lion is painfully slow / unusable

Finally - I have a fix. It was related to address book problems.
The solution is highlighted here:

*** Be warned though - make sure you already have contacts up in iCloud before doing this:
1. Bring up System Preferences, go to iCloud and uncheck "Contacts"
2. You need to remove the folder /Users/<your_name>/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
If you have issues removing, quit Mail and Contacts
If you don't have contacts in iCloud, try renaming the folder
3. Reboot the machine
4. Bring up System Preferences, go to iCloud and now check "Contacts"
Now when you bring up Contacts, it should sync with iCloud, Mail and Messages will work fine.

Having mail problem very slow opening, deleting, unable to move to folders

Have a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X Ver. 10.6.8 - Having AppleMail problems: very very very slow opening any new incoming mail, can't delete, can't assign to Spam, and can't move to any folder for storing, and can't empty trash. Seems to be corrupted and might need to reload the Mail Program (Version 4.6) and need to know if I can reload the mail program and if I did would I lose all the data stored in folders? I don't know how to reload the Mail program. Also the entire computer seems to be slow to react as well but mail is worse. I've checked and emptied caches for the browsers I use. Connecting to Internet all right but as I said, slow to react. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

MichelPM, I don’t know how to find out how full is my Mail app. I confess to being mostly an ignoramus about computer hardware, software, applications storage and usage. I know where to look for some stuff, but I don’t know what all the information means. I found the page under About this Mac Serial-ATA that gives the following info: Macintosh HD:
Capacity:          319.73 GB (319,728,959,488 bytes)
Available:          270 GB (270,003,339,264 bytes)
Then under Memory Slot there are two banks in Bank 0 all categories are empty but Bank 1 says
                    Size:          1 GB
    Type:          DDR2 SDRAM
    Speed:          667 MHz
    Status:          OK
I usually have three browsers open and one to two wordprocessers (Word and TextEdit), the resident Dictionary. When needed but closed when done with the current activity are Preview, Adobe Reader. I do have a lot of documents on the desktop and filed in folders are uncountable. I could commit most of these to flashdrives if I have to, but I’m not sure how to save all the stuff I have in folders in the Mail app. I do not run any antivirus or “crapware” software that I can find in the MacHD applications folder. I’ve never downloaded such programs. I will commence to copy to external drives data I wish to preserve. Can I copy the entire mail set of archive folders to an external hard drive? I have a La Cie.
With much appreciation for any help you offer,

Samsung 1.5TB External HDD problems - very slow and crashes Mac

I recently bought a Samsung 1.5TB Story Station External HDD, to supplement my full iomega 320GB drive (firewire). The Samsung is USB 2.0, and I quickly realised that the Mac only has USB 1 - i.e. very slow. The HDD took about 15mins to even register in Finder and transfers were inevitably slow.
I bought a new USB 2.0 PCI card, with 4 external and 1 internal USB 2.0 connectors. Installed securely and correctly, it should be plug and play right? Wrong. Firstly I checked with a Compact Flash card that the USB 2.0 was working and it is - very fast upload of images to the Mac. Then I tried to move a group of files from the Samsung to the iomega drive and it started off transferring really fast, saying under one minute to perform the task. Then it froze, and slowly worked it's way up to 2hrs remaining. I had to crash out of it in the end. I tried a few simpler transfers, but it froze in finder each time. Now the Samsung drive is not even getting recognised by the Mac.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a shut down/eject order that I have not been doing? I usually just shut down the Mac with the HDDs on, and that has never been an issue for the iomega drive.
Any help or links appreciated. PSD

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
External drive controller chipsets vary greatly.
Along with this, and a big problem for PPC Mac users, is that the makers don't take PPC Mac architecture into consideration.
The first mistake is to rely on USB/USB 2.0 for connection.
Firewire is +the surest+ bet for an external drive for a Mac.
USB 2.0 is for WinPC machines, which often don't have firewire.
It is NOT a reliable connection method for hard drives.
Second, these ready made externals are often a problem with PPC Macs.
WD MyBook, Seagate FreeAgents, and others, are often just no good.
I don't see why the Samsung would be different.....
The best way to use an external drive, is to get a firewire drive enclosure kit that has an Oxford chipset, and then install the drive of your choice inside.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEFW91UAL1K/
These all have drives installed, but the case and controller is definitely no problem:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATAFW800_FW400USB
I would return the drive.
Is early failure a problem? Look here:

URGENT PROBLEM: Very slow printing multiple copies

I am needing to print 1,400 copies of an SRA3 (big) double-sided colour/B&W document. It is just two pages (front and back) and I need 1,400 copies.
It is very very strange but it seems that all Adobe programs actually send 1,400 pages to the printer where it should be 1 page with 1,400 copies so it's only one page sent to the printer.
It seems, further, that Preview is the only program that does it right in that it sends one file/page to the printer with the instruction to print 1,400 times.
This has the effect of printing very quickly because the printer only has one page spooled. All the other programs print very very slowly because the printer thinks it's printing 1,400 unique pages.
The problem now is that Preview prints the page far too lightly compared to Acrobat Reader or InDesign.
I need help. Any ideas why Acrobat and InDesign send multiple pages or even better, how can I get Preview to print more accurately?
I have spent the whole day trying to figure this out with no luck!
I am printing to a Xerox Document Centre C240 with no RIP or server which is half the problem but this should work!!
Many thanks,
Galen

Hi,
Go to Preview, Preferences, Color and select Automatic. It will change slightly the colour you get from your prints, it won't overwrite any printing feature you have selected on your PPD.
The only thing that comes to my mind in relation with the Acrobat Issue is the collated option, it has to be selected if you don't want the printer increase its time of process.
Hope it helps a bit

E-mail problem--very slow arrival on 8330

I am getting like packets of email, maybe 3 times a day if that. For example, mail that came in on computer 6:32am came in on phone at 1:06pm in a group of approx 28 messages. I have removed battery numerous times, no help. I went to my verizon store he took the battery out said if that didn't fix it file an insurance claim. The phone will be 2o months old in Dec. Has anyone had this type of problem?

Off topic, but you may want to remove your phone number from the phone and plan detail for this forum. Everyone can see it.

S6000L Very Slow Charging

My new S6000L is currently taking its second charge. It's taking HOURS and it's only at 30%. The initial charge from out of the box took a few hours, but this is far longer.
I've tried turning it off during charge and I get the battery-only display, but it makes little difference.
Version of Android is stock 4.2.2.
Any ideas?

Very Slow Speed & BT seem unable to fix

Hi All,
First time post and would very much welcome anyone’s view on my problem.
Apologies if it’s a bit long!
The problem: Very slow download speed, going as low as 50kbs. Prior to this issue my download speed was around 4.5Mb but since this issue started it has reduced to around 1Mb first thing in the morning which decreases as the day goes on.
The results of a previous BT speedtest were Download Speed 190Kb / DSL connection rate 6.62 Mb (Downstream) / 448Kb (Upstream) IP Profile for line 5Mb
(All tests were carried out using a single Windows 7 desktop pc with a wired connection to a home hub 2)
6 Feb – Contacted BT to advise of speed problem and was informed that they would need to run a test which would take 48 hours.
8 Feb – Contacted BT to be advised it could be a problem with the home hub or network not passing signal. Further line test carried out and was told that it is not a fault within my property. They would pass problem to Network Faults Dept so they could reconfigure the line and they would call me 9 Feb.
9 Feb – BT Called and following a search on this site I mentioned that the noise margin seemed high (13.3dB/26.0dB) He said it should be 6dB and put in a request for it to be lowered and was told the speed should increase by 11 Feb. (Noise margin was under 6dB by the next day)
10 Feb – BT (Level 2 Help) called to advise the broadband connection is in the stabilisation phase.
11 Feb – Called BT to advise no change in speed. They run test and now say fault is inside the house and an engineer would be required. Oh and it would be a chargeable visit. I queried this as the advisor I spoke to 8 Feb said it was not a problem inside the house but his response was that it was originally a network fault, which was fixed, but now it is a problem inside the house. Sounds Fishy!
Call was transferred to the department that arrange engineers and to cut a long story short it was agreed that it would not be chargeable visit.
13 Feb – BT called to advise an engineer visit 14 Feb
14 Feb – Openreach engineer tested wiring and all was OK. Just to be double sure he replaced the master socket to a 2 port type (hub in top port and telephone in bottom) and was told this type does not require a DSL filter. He also changed the Home Hub 2 to a Home Hub 3 and after still no improvement he concluded BT were throttling my broadband. I’m not sure if he reset my profile but said it should start to improve over the next couple of days.
16 Feb – Still no improvement so I called BT again. They wanted to test the line again and it apparently came back with a network fault and it would take another 48 hours. I then asked to speak to a Manager who reviewed my problem history and transferred me to someone in the Network Department. She did a bit of tinkering and the speed went from 200kb to 400kb, then another bit of tinkering and it went to 550kb. At last, i thought, we were making slow progress but since this call, the speed has decreased again to 130kb. She said that I have to wait another 4 days for it to possibly improve and will call me 21 Feb. They keep telling me I have to wait 48 hours here, 3 days there but unfortunately I now have little faith that there will be any improvements in 4 days time. Is this acceptable or am I being too impatient.

HT201401 Charging problem

My phone don't want to charge as it should.Keeps saying "charging not supported by device".This on 3 different chargers.
Is it the battery or the charging unit?

Done that,still no luck.Although the msg it charges but very slow,overnight charge to only 60%.

My iphone 4 ios 7 charge very slow .........if we charged whole night it only charged about 30 %

my iphone 4 ios 7 charge very slow .........if we charged whole night it only charged about 30 %

Do you have access to another cable to try that is known good to rule out a problem with the existing cable?
If no change when using a known good cable, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

Is anyone having trouble with recharging battery on ipad4? It does charge but is very slow

I have a new iPad and it seems to be very slow in charging the battery eg 1 hour for 10% of charge.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem or am I doing something wrong?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

Audio problem and macbook pro very slow

Hello,
I have a macbook pro for less than a year.
The latter has begin to be very slow. In addition, I have no sound which are emitted from my Mac, setting apart the opening gong. By the jack, there is no red light that are emitted. I tried to go in the program "audio setup midi" but it does not even want to open. So I tried to open the configuration panel go to select a new audio output device, but to my surprise, after an interminable waiting times, I got a list of blank audio device .. .
I noticed that it started when I put my Mac to version 10.7.4 ... So this is very recent ...
When downloading the update, I was editing a script with automator and my Mac was rammed by an HDMI cable has a television, if it ever can help.
I was wondering how to solve my problem.
thank you
Bonjour,
j'ai un macbook pro depuis moins d'un an.
Ce dernier a commencer a être très lent. De plus, je n'ai plus aucun son qui es émis de mon Mac, mise a part le gong d'ouverture. Par la prise jack, il n'y a pas de lumière rouge qui es émis. J'ai essayé d'aller dans le programme "configuration audio midi" mais celui-ci ne veux même pas ouvrir. J'ai donc essayé d'ouvrir le paneau de configuration pour aller sélectionner un nouveau périphérique de sortie audio, mais a ma grande surprise, après un délais d'attente interminable, j'ai eu droit a une liste de périphérique audio vide...
J'ai remarqué que cela a commencé lors que j'ai mis mon Mac à la version 10.7.4... Donc, c'est tout récent...
Lors du téléchargement de la mise à jours, j'éditais un scripte avec automator et mon Mac était banché par un cable HDMI a une télévision, si jamais ça peux aider.
Je me demandais comment résoudre mes problème.
Merci

The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

My new iphone 6+ very very slow charging. 6% increasing in 1 hour charging.

My new iphone 6+ very very slow charging. 6% increasing in 1 hour charging.

How are you charging it? Are you using the included cable and charger? Are you plugging it into the wall? Or are you charging it from the USB port on a computer? What troubleshooting steps have you taken?
The phone will charge best using the included cable and charger plugged into a wall outlet. If that's what you're doing and you're still having problems, you should try a couple of things. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the apple appears? Try a different cable. Try a different charger. Try a different outlet.
If everything fails, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.
