Good Xbench but horrible performance

i got a 90 on xbench on my 17" imac intel core duo 1.83 ghz gma 950 graphics with 512mb of ram but when i run like more than program the computer is a piece of junk. my 3 year old windows desktop is faster. anyone have any suggestions on how to make it run faster. i know buying more ram will help but it is expensive for macs. anyone know where to get cheap ram for an intel mac. thanks for the help

oohhh. forgot! a dude in my church is willing to give up his 160GB external i should ask him for it. funny thing i asked him if it has Firewire and he was like "huh"? hes a pc guy thats why. so yeah thats cool that theres somebody else besides me doing little things like that in a church. do you run sound for the youth bands? i do and im trying right now to see if they will let me run sound on sundays at church. doubt it tho. theres prolly an "age limit" for sound men. im 15 c'mon ive been doing it for 5 years! ah well, yea i am planning on getting an external. it will help greatly. i was looking at PoweMax's site for some but they seem a bit on the high price side. thats where google comes in!
when i ran XBench it told me that having apps open and low drive space does make benchmark's lower in score

Horrible Performance On Good Hardware + Usability Questions

I downloaded the most recent iTunes version as of 1 week ago, to use to sync and backup my iPhone.
I have a few complaints: Horrible performance. Clicking on just about any node, and it takes 5-10 seconds to load whatever window it is calling. Navigation from any menu to another is just a disaster. My PC is XP Pro with 4 GB installed RAM, an Intel 3 GHZ processor, and a 10,000 RPM hard drive and solid mid range gaming video card. All other applications work very quickly.
Second, is there a decent way to search the App Store? From my phone I can easily search on a key word, but in iTunes the advanced search doesn't seem to just search apps, it searches all. I figure I MUST be missing something!
Thanks!

It's a long shot, but you might try temporarily disabling any antivirus and antispyware applications you may have on your system, including Windows Defender if you installed it, and see if that makes any difference. I've encountered situations, albeit rare, where such a utility gets "overzealous" and starts scanning every activity for an app, thereby slowing it down. You probably want to disconnect from the Internet while you make such tests just to help ensure nothing sneaks onto your system.
If that doesn't help, you might try completely removing and reinstalling QuickTime and iTunes. Instructions can be found here:
Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
Make sure you make a backup of any content you've purchased from the iTunes Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace, just in case something goes wrong.
Not much positive help, I know, but perhaps it might do some good.
Regards.

Standard Report check whether Goods Issue has been performed for DN

Hi All,
My users is having a list of DNs where they would like to check if Post Goods Issue has been performed for them. I would like to ask is there any standard reports as to check if a Delivery Note has PGI performed?
I have tried report VL06G but in this report we cannot give the DN No. as the key.
Thanks.

There is no standard reports to check GI by DN number.
You have to find out the Outbound Number first then check by Outbound number.
In SE16N, key VBFA table
Pump in your DN number under "Follow-on doc."
Under "Prec.doc.categ." select "J".
with the outboud number, you can proceed to check using above report suggested.
Alternatively, using same VBFA table. Pump in list of outbound number under "Preceding Doc." and select "Subs.doc.categ." as "R".
If you can set-up query reports, you can also get all the information directly with the DN Numbers.

Another "horrible performance after upgrading to Lion" post

Hi,
Sorry for yet another "my computer has horrible performance after upgrading to Lion" post. I did search the forum before posting.
I have a relatively new Macbook Pro, 8 GB RAM, 2.8 MHz Intel i7 CPU. I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, then Lion to 10.7.2.
The first time I upgraded, I no longer had my user account, so restored from Time Machine back to SL. After a month or so, I hoped Apple had fixed the bug, so I redownloaded and reinstalled, and this time the upgrade succeeded.
Ever since the upgrade, my MBP runs like a dog. I get the spinning beach ball constantly, across all range of applications, both Apple and 3rd party. Occasionally it doesn't wake up from sleep (close, open lid) and I have to kick it in the head by holding down the power button.
I've tried booting into the recovery partition, running disk utility, and repairing disk and permissions. I've read elsewhere (Google hit) that doing a completely clean install fixes the performance issues (for those users anyway).
I know this is a fairly generic post, but any advice on how to maximize machine performance under Lion, or should I revert to Snow Leopard? Do I really have to wipe the disk, install fresh, restore all non-OS files (don't accidentally wipe a required OS file), then reapply the 10.7.2 maintenance? Yuck.
Thanks,
Scott

try an SMC reset if you are not seeing any weird spikes in Activity Monitor and you've deduced that none of your third party drivers or apps are interfearing with the way lion works.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Anyone using a 12 Core Mac Pro? I have HORRIBLE performance issues .. Help!

After the latest 10.7.4 Mac OS X update I have extremely horrible performance issues with AE ... and they were not so great before the update.
It is still stabilizing ... but an 1:19 clip in SD is taking 12 HOURS TO analyze and stabilize. !!!
The 12 cores are barely being used and this problem has been an issue since I purchased the suite over a year ago.
Does anyone else have problems using AE on their 12 CORE MAC PRO?
REPLY ONLY IF YOU HAVE A 12 CORE MAC PRO PLEASE.
There must be a problem because since the update ... Adobe Encore is PERFECT .. and ALL 12 CORES MAX OUT and the encoding is quick!!
I also have major problems between PP and AE using Dynamic link .. and slow renders in PP.
Everything else works fine .. other apps / other vendors.
I am calling Adobe today.

Thank you for your time.
I am using a 12 Core 2.93 GHZ with 32 GB RAAM and a NVidia GTX 285.
I also have a Areca 1212 PCI RAID Card. ( NOTE: I HAVE A SERIOUS RAID DRIVER PROBLEM NOW. THE RAID IS DISCONNECTED )
Mac OS X 10.7.4
Adobe Master Suite 5.5

Only half of my hyperthreaded processors are active when using AE "Warp Stabilizer". This issue was addressed before in the Forums. There was no solution. I dont' know if it is any better in CS 6.
Also the automatic saving of all linked compositions while using the dynamic link feature bewteen PP and AE causes huge inoperatable waiting times .. unbearable. My guess is that the new "Global Performance Cache " fixes this ... which I consider update to a terrible problem .. but they sell it as a feature ( Ill go into that later.
Question:
What RAID card are you using?
Do you use the Warp Stabilizer?

Horrible performance with JDK 1.3.1!

There is something very weird going on with Solaris (SPARC) JDK 1.3.1
Hotspot Server jvm. We have an existing application which gets a large
resultset back from the database, iterates over it and populates two int[]
arrays.
The operation iterates thru a 200,000 row resultset, which has three
interger columns.
Here are the performance numbers for various jdk (hotspot 2.0) combinations:
Using Solaris JDK1.2.2_05a with the jit: 3 seconds
Using Solaris JDK1.3.0 -server: <3 seconds
Using Windows JDK1.3.1 -server: <3 seconds
Using Solaris JDK1.3.1 -client: 7 seconds
Using Solaris JDK1.3.1 -server: 3 MINUTES!
As you can see the solaris 1.3.1 -server is having horrible performance, 60X
worse than jdk1.3.0 -server and 1.2.2_05a with jit. I thought it was a
problem with 1.3.1 on solaris, so I tried the 1.3.1 -client and while the
performance was much better than 3 minutes, it still was slower than (which
I expected since -client is meant for client side apps). I have no idea why
this is happening. Below are the details of the problem.
Oracle 8.1.7 on solaris 2.7
Solaris 2.6
Oracle Thin JDBC driver for 8.1.7 (classes12.zip)
Code:
String strQuery = "select entity_id, entity_child, period_id" +
" FROM entity_map" +
" WHERE entity_id >=0" +
" AND period_id in (" + sEmptyPeriodIds + ")" +
" ORDER BY period_id, entity_id ";
boolean bAddedChildren = false;
int intEntityId;
int intChildId;
int intPeriodId;
//objDatabse just wraps creation and execution of resultset
rs = objDatabase.executeSQLAndReturnResultSet( strQuery );
//Timing start here
while ( rs.next() )
intEntityId = rs.getInt( 1 );
intChildId = rs.getInt( 2 );
intPeriodId = rs.getInt( 3 );
// embo.addEntityMap( intPeriodId, intEntityId, intChildId );
bAddedChildren = true;
//Timing ends here
If anyone has had similiar problems, I'd love to hear about it.
Something is really really wrong with how 1.3.1 -server is optimizing the
oracle jdbc code. Problem is that this is a black box, with no source
available. Doesn't oracle test new versions of sun jvm's when they come
out??
Thanks,
Darren

Darren,
Good luck on trying to get any support for JDK 1.3.x with the ORACLE drivers. ORACLE doesn't support JDK 1.3.x yet. We've had other problems with the ORACLE 8.1.7 drivers. Have you tried running the same bench marks using the 8.1.6 or 8.1.6.2 drivers? I would be interested to find out if the performance problems are driver related or just JVM.

Horrible performance drop with mixed ports 100 & 1000 on the LAN side.

I have horrible performance with newly bought lrt224.
WAN side is a 150 Mb/s Cable connection.
LAN has 3 ports at 1Gb/s and 1 port at 100 Mb/s
Test:
On any of the lan ports at 1 Gb/s I do a test via speedtest.net and get 150 Mb/s
On the Lan port at 100 Mb/s I do a test via speedtest.net and get 10 Mb/s (same server)
Weird part, I do a LAN (1Gb/s) to LAN (100Mb/s) test I get around 99Mb/s.
Second weird part, I replace WAN side cable modem with a VDSL+ line and I get max VDSL+ performance of 75 Mb/s.
Any hints?

Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception. If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
Many Thanks

Goods Issues but not invoiced

Hello forum, a question on any Sales/Billing reports people know of for goods that have been goods issued but are awaiting invoicing. We use POD processing and can get some reports but none with a financial value at an item level. We also use tcode VF04 to view pending deliveries to be invoiced but again doesnt show any epxected revenue and so was wondering if there are any other standard reports to give me this information?
Much appreciated
Dan

Through standard TCodes VF04 and VF06, you can generate deliveries that are PGId but not invoiced but value will not flow there. For this, you need to develop a zee tcode considering the tables VBAP (for unit price) and LIPS (for material code and quantity PGId).
thanks

Goods Shipped -BUT- Not Invoiced

Hi Gurus,
we would like to see a report (NOT VF04), where I can see all the Goods Shipped But not invoiced with AMOUNT so that we can Tie this amount to respective Goods in Transit GL account balance for Auditing Purpose, so that we can tell them this is the actual amount in Transit needs to be invoiced by showing report and GL account,
Please Help me , your help appreciated,
Sandhya

Sri Nath,
I think you missed the whole point here, I am not talking about exchange rates ro amount going from Sales order to GL , it will go anyways as I am talking about the Inventory Transfer account Amount and the Goods Shipped But Not Invoiced report amount ,
Let me explain again, you will see some Del Doc ," Y " (Sales Order "X" ) in VL06 and you will come to know this is Open Invoice and Goods Shipped already,,,,,,,, at the same time for this Delivery Doc , Y , for the amount in sales order, X , will be reflecting in that GL account ,
So Now the Point is VL06 or or anyother report with the options you said, will give you Del Doc Y , as Output but NO DOLLAR AMOUNT, so How can I tie this Del Doc amount(s) If I don't see a consolidated total that I need to Tie with FS10N report,?
Shiva making new Report is last Option I believe.

Hi
I actually dont think its Lion (sorry i put that as couldn't remember) as not on that computer at the moment, its at home, I am at work. I know CS2 is compatable with whatever OS I am using because I can using CS2 indesign etc and I was able to use CS2 photoshop until I updated the Camino browser (I believe this is when it stopped working). I have CS5 but it wont work at all on my Powerbook G4.
I can send a message later with the OS I am using and maybe you can suggest other help? They told me in the MAC shop to try and get the installation discs. They also said I would be able to get these via Apple's 'media replacement programme' which I cannot find anyway! To be honest, I am not even sure getting the install discs will work but I'll try whatever I need to try and get Photoshop working on it again!
Thanks

Opening my Ipad I have an exchange window asking me my password. I'm (almost)sure I type the good one but it doesn't accepIt it. Unable to go around that window so IPad useless. How can I check/change my password with my IPad (stuck) or my home computer ?

Opening my iPad2 I have an "Exchange " window asking me my password. I'm (almost) sure I type the good one, but it doesn't accept it. Unable to go around it, so iPad useless... How can I recover/check my password on my home PC (or make that window disappear ?

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...
