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.

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."

MBP 13 running slow after one month

I purchased a MBP about a month ago and over the past two weeks I have noticed that it has run much slower than normal. Long startup times, frequent SBBODs when opening/navigating between programs (Safari, Microsoft Office, Spotify, aka just about every program I have), frame rate drops and lags in apps, etc. It's honestly slower than the previous three-year old laptop I had before this and that has made a TERRIBLE impression on me to the point where I'm already considering selling this laptop.
Specs:
13 inch (non-retina)
2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
4GB 1600MHz memory
500GB 5400-rpm hard drive
Intel HD Graphics 4000

Try these:
First - go to system preferences - startup disk and select your hard drive as the startup drive (if already selected - select it again) - and restart your Macbook.
Second - once you've done the first one - go to disk utility and verify your disk permissions - repair if errors are found and restart your Macbook once the repairs are done.
Last - if none of the above works for you, do a SMC RESET.
good luck

I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?

I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?..and what features are missing for 3gs

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..:(

Hi there, I have a 2009 Macbook - running on OS X V.10.6.8... but I'm looking at upgrading the Operating System to V.10.10. Will your latest version of LIghtroom (the one I can currently get a free one month trial of from your site) work with Apple's late

Hi there, I have a 2009 Macbook - running on OS X V.10.6.8... but I'm looking at upgrading the Operating System to V.10.10. Will your latest version of LIghtroom (the one I can currently get a free one month trial of from your site) work with Apple's latest operating system - Yosemite V.10.10? Or will LR only work with V.10.7, 10.8 or 10.9?
Thanks, Seamus

Hey, problem solved. One of the drives was faulty. I erased the 2nd drive (which was showing up as the degraded raid slice), deleted the RAID set and restored the 2nd drive from a back-up disk image. After that, when I booted using 'option' I was presented with two boot disks but only one that worked. And when it did boot up only the reformatted disk was showing in Diskutil so I'm guessing the second one is knackered. With it still in place the server still wouldn't boot up from a full shutdown, but the moment it was removed it booted up no probs. Wakes up from sleep as well so it seems sorted.
So now just need to decide whether I'll bother with replacing the second drive or just use an external back-up. I have just bought a 1TB drive to back up to so will probably just go with that.
Btw, is there anyway I can test the drive I removed to see if can be saved?
Thanks for all your help. Your siamese twin comment was the push I need to erase the drive, I'd be holding off before that.

Hi,
Check whether program RBDMIDOC is scheduled only once? If it is running only once then you this will happen.
And also schedule the job to execute only after your upload process is over.

HT4571 Can I cancel service after one month

IIf I sign up for Internet with my Verizon account ...can I cancel after one month of service

Verizon has been permitting month-by-month data cell plans for iPads, unlike iPhones that cannot go in and out of service.

HT204053 iPhone 5s replaced after one month at apple store. They started restore and it is still restoring after 24 hours.

iPhone 5s replaced after one month at apple store. They started restore and it is still restoring after 24 hours. What can I do?

If you feel the restore process is not progressing, all you can do is stop it and try again. To stop the restore, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Stop Restoring iPhone at the bottom. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

After one month of fine usage, my iPhone cannot connect to or recognize any cellular network.

After one month of using iPhone 4s w/o any problems, it started to go off and on from cellular network. Now it is only "Searching..." for networks unable to connect. When I switch off "automatic carriers" it's the same. I already tried to swith off/on airplane mode and device but w/o success. Help, please...

I too are experiencing the same problem on a 8gig 3G Telstra Australia iPhone that was bought outright. I also have another (same) iPhone and the settings on both are identical yet the new phone refuses to connect. I have tried a few ideas/suggestions including: settings, general, network, cellular data network and changing it from telstra.iph to telstra.internet. this works but I think something is wrong because to .iph refers to iPhone (I have switched it back until to confirm with telstra about this).
I have also tried settings, reset, reset network settings but this did not help but has worked for others.
I have also tried turning off the unit and taking out the sim card and restarting the iPhone but again no luck yet.
I plan to speak to both Telstra and Apple to see if this problem has a simple solution and will post a new thread titled "solution to cellular network problems".
Personally by all the trials and errors so far I believe it is a carrier problem and having to re-enter the pin on this phone everytime I re-boot it suggests it could be sim card related.

After one month or more with out .mac working, can we get our money back?

It has been over one moth with out iweb working properly, I dont care of getting back the money of iLife, but yes to the money I am paing for my .mac account since It has been over one month that is not working and the only reason I have it is for my personal web site that is my work portal, everithing I do (Photography & Film) has to do with interactive web page, so Has been more than a month that I can't give my clients what they pay for and is really bad apple is not doing a thing.
Ye s we have read a lot of postings that the problem is being fix as we think, but really that has been the case since a little bit more than 15 days and as today we have not seen a think fixed, still iWeb don't publish and we have tried everithing apple and users told us and still not a single good renponse.
iWeb 2.0.2 was the worst upgrade from an apple software ever, can we get our .mac accounts money back so we can go to a better service?
Sincerely, Adolfo Pardo: (www.cinematograf.com

Actually when my account expires on April 18 2008 I am not renewing, any more If I don't get my money back soon I will cancel then my account and move to a more stable company, probably rapidwever or to a host way more stable yahoo or someone who hears the customers and has 24/7 service for errors on their system.

IPhone 3G is now super slow after 10 months or so usage??

My 3G phone has been working fine for about 10 months, but within the last months or so it has gone into slow motion, and I do mean SLOW motion.
Examples
1. Sending a picture, click on the "Email Photo" button, it takes about 15 seconds just to bring up the Email with image, then when I try to type in To: address it stays on the first letter I type for about 35 seconds (letter enlarges but just stays there) - this used to be instantaneous.
2. Messages, press the message icon and it takes a good 10-15 seconds before I see a list of people who I've messaged (this used to be 1-2 seconds).
3. Press on the iPod icon and again another 10-20 seconds before I see my playlists. Again, this used to take 1-2 seconds.
Now my iPhone never used to be like this, it was pretty fast for the first 10 months of usage. I haven't loaded any new apps (in fact I'm only at 2GB mem usage out of 8GB) and it's upto date with latest firmware and software. Doesn't seem to matter if I use wireless or 3G connection, nor if I have it plugged in or not.
I'm about ready to toss this phone out the window and go with something other than an iPhone. Is there any diagnostics I can run on my iPhone to try to figure out why it's gone into slow motion mode??
I've seen these types of problems happen with SSD drives where the MLC NAND flash starts to get flakey with no TRIM support (especially MLC) causing performance to radically drop off -- this is exactly what it feels like in my iPhone. Considering my 3G iPhone uses Samsung's 65nm 8GB MLC NAND flash which has been known to exhibit this problem over time, that's my guess as to why my iPhone has started to slow down.
I know several friends who are also running into identical "slow down" problems and they're in the same boat, toss the iPhone and go with a phone that uses better quality (real longer life) MLC or SLC NAND.
I know Apple aren't going to admit to anything unless enough people complain, so I was wondering how many other folks have run into this "mysterious slow down" problem after 10 months of iPhone usage?
Rob.

Hi Lawrence,
I've done the "RESET" Power down and Power up. Haven't done a reset and restore yet. The Reset seems to have worked for now, but what seems to happen is that after using Safari for a while it will start to slow down again until I do another Reset.
Guess I'll just keep doing a reset once a day, but definitely not optimal way to use my iPhone. Apple break something in one of their updates that would cause this? Any diagnostic tools for the iPhone that might show me memory usage/processing etc. etc.
Thanks, Rob.

Can't get more than one month of backups with Time Machine

I seem to be having persistent problems with TM. I have a 1TB HD and in the past I have been able to get up to several months of backups from around 140GB with exclusions. However, lately I seem to be plagued with "SystemFlipper" messages that start a full backup and result in the removal of previous backup such that I seem unable get have more than just over one month of backups. This seem to occur mostly at the first backup of each day and then works fine for each subsequent hour after doing the "Full Reset" as per Pondini (http://pondini.org/TM/A4.html). Other days it seems to work fine.
I have been reviewing other related discussion in this forum and cannot seem to find an answer. It is possibly to do with residual pre-Intel programmes is the best I can determine, but the problem is how to find the culprits in my list of applications either remove them all together or transfer them to another HD I use for non-essential data and files. I have done this for a lot of other data and have added exclusions for some file that were giving me identified issues.
Would appreciate any suggestions as I'm getting a little frustrated at having to do a reset so often, and not being able have a greater time period of backups given that there was a time when I had nearly a year's worth.
Thanks, Dave

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Plastic coating tears off after one month light use

Does anyone have problem with the coating (the plastic edge that goes around the front screen rathet than the sides) coming off or peeling after couple months of using? Purchase mine a month ago in early October and notice both bottom corners paint/coating peeled off or came off. It made this almost brand new phone looks undoubtfully cheap! Trying to mediate with the local customer service, but they claim the damage is caused by scratches which is not bound by Sony warranty but my phone is abosolutely scratch free everywhere around where the peeled coating area is. So frustrated as I sold my Sony Z2 to get this and didn't expect such cheap quality compare to the aluminum housing Z2 had.
Please share if you had similar experience and it would be great if someone from Sony Global can respond to this. Not happy at all and probably will not pick another Sony phone especially those with the plastic coat on!

Thanks. Sony CS showed me one of this printout as their "evidences" showing the coat wore off was caused by scratches. To me the plastic coat looks like it got heated up (by the phone or either my firmed grip?) and stretched (there are white stretches mark circled by me that looks more like its been torn off rather than scratched off).
I am not convinced as there are little or no physical scratch mark on the screen especially when I have a protective sticker on which picked up little or no scratches, while it shows no scratches at all on the side bezel. Moreover, the way CS described it as they used their machine to estimate and confirm the peeling were caused by scratches and when I asked them to show me evidence of stats they say they are unable to provide, which sounds completely ballic.
I demand them to run a heat test on the phone to see if it affects the plastic coating meanwhile and ask them to provide relevant stats to back their finding on the so called scratch marks they claimed... will see what happened in a couple of days.

System gets Slow after 10.6.5 update

So, I just updated it using standalone combo installer and straight away notice that to repair the disc permitions now takes 3 mins, before it took only 1min. even if there is nothing to repair. and futher more my whole system gets very slow after a few hours of using safari, skype, vuze, together and wasn't able to shut down just after using safari alone, had to press the power. havent been using anything else for so long so dont know how about it, but it seems to be ok. ah, im using airport to get to the internet if that's important.
