Help for a newb with a VERY slow iBook G4

(sorry in advance if this is the wrong forum)
Stats:
933MHz
640 MB ram
OS X.4
Unusable optical drive
System takes about 10-15 minutes to boot.
Once booted, takes a very long time to access any applications. The spinning rainbow wheel just spins & spins. Sometimes the system will announce that the aplication has failed to respond & ask that I force quit it.
I've checked the hard drive, but I can't boot into safe mode. (it just won't go)
If there is anyone who might have suggestions as to what I can try it'd be a day saver.
I've run into this on my PowerMac G4 & I was able to run a disk check from the install CD, but as I said, I can use the DVD on this unit as it just spits the disks out.
Help?

How long have you had your iBook G4?
My three-year old iBook G4 needed a hard drive replacement lately. I had the same symptoms as you - the boot time deteriorated gradually over the last year and it can take several minutes for a cold boot to finish. In the end it crashed while trying to boot and the system could not detect the system at all.
If you have regular backups (or better yet, disk image) of your hard drive, great. Otherwise it's time to start backing up more frequently so you won't lose your work when it finally dies.

Can anyone help with a very slow iMac?

I'm getting increasingly frustrated by this computer, it takes an age to start up and then the processor makes it's noise for quite some time before allowing me to do anything. Often the beachball is whirling around too. I'm pretty useless when it comes to computers. I ran the etrecheck software and have this info from it. Can anyone offer any suggestions please?

You only have 2GB of RAM, which is not enough to run OS X 10.10 smoothly (it's the bare minimum requirement to run it at all). Consider buying more at http://eshop.macsales.com (there are other vendors as well). Find the correct RAM for your model by searching for your iMac's model identifier - iMac8,1. Also look at their installation videos.
You have several failed Apple launch agents, you may need to re-install OS X to fix that. Boot the computer while holding down the Command ⌘ and R keys at the same time. This will boot to the Recovery partition. Choose the reinstall OS X option.

Paint performance with JScrollPane very slow in jdk 1.4?

I got a simple program that overrides paintComponent on a JPanel. Then draws lots of lines, rectangles and some strings. The panel is then added to a scrollpane.
The scrolling is very smooth in java 1.3.1, but very slow in 1.4.2
the paintComponent takes between 16ms and 30ms with java 1.3.1 but 70-200ms with java 1.4.2.
I tried turning of antialising etc.. but no help. Whats the "improvement" they made in jdk 1.4?

Ok I made a simple example, which draws around 5000 elements.
Sourcecode is here: http://www.mcmadsen.dk/files/ScrollPaneTest.java
I did several testruns on java 1.4.2 and java 1.3.1, heres the "avarage" result:
Java 1.4.2:
Current: 140ms High: 203ms Avg: 144ms Low: 125ms
Java 1.3.1:
Current: 62ms High: 219ms Avg: 68ms Low: 47ms
The paintComponent() looks like this:
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
super.paintComponent(g);
long offset=System.currentTimeMillis();
PaintElement paintElementTmp;
for(int i=0;i<paintElements.size();i++)
paintElementTmp=(PaintElement)paintElements.elementAt(i);
g.setColor(paintElementTmp.getBackground());
g.fillRect(paintElementTmp.getX(),paintElementTmp.getY(),paintElementTmp.getWidth(),paintElementTmp.getHeight());
g.setColor(paintElementTmp.getForeground());
g.drawString(paintElementTmp.getText(),paintElementTmp.getX(),paintElementTmp.getY());
long done=System.currentTimeMillis();
long current=done-offset;
sum+=current;
if(current>high)high=current;
if(low>current)low=current;
count++;
System.out.println("Current: "+current+"ms High: "+high+"ms Avg: "+(sum/count)+"ms Low: "+low+"ms");
I tried all the renderinghints, but no difference (from the default settings). Also the scrolling is very slow and stops all the time in java 1.4.
Any ideas on how to get java 1.4 to perform as java 1.3.1?
Thanks

Using Outlook 2011 for mac and syncing blackberry very slow

I just bought 2 pcs of Mcabook pro. one for me and second for my cousin. we both have same office usage.i have installed office 2011. i use contacts / events / tasks of outlook and sync it with my blackberry curve. previously i was using Windows OS and i am so much used to it with its easy functionalities. Since last 15 days i have not done any work in my office as all time i am just involved in setting up one or another thing in my Macbook. i am really so much fed up and frustrated that i am thinking of switching back to Windows. i have some current issues like
Airport disconnects automatically anytime. after then i have to restart the system that is the only way. it shows as connected but i dont find my home network or internet. after restarting it works !!! it happens 4-5 times in a day...
Sync with blackberry is very slow. i do have Approx 2500 contacts / 300 tasks and 10-15 events. but it takes approx 10 times more time than i was doing with Windows.
in the blackberry desktop manager there is only one option of syncing i.e. Two way sync. what if i only want to transfer data from Macbook to Blackberry or from Blackberry to Macbook?
data sync is not perfect also. every time some entries goes missing.
i want to use ical for events and tasks.. but i dont find List view for events which is not convinient.
i have my e mails in Outlook 2011 for mac. what if i want to transfer my mail to mail for mac?
i will be obliged if anyone can help and show that my INR 70000.00 * 2 is not wasted... Frustrated Really...

Good luck with that.

1. EtreCheck indicates that you do not have Time Machine configured.
This step WILL NOT SPEED UP YOUR SYSTEM, but you need to have at least one backup method for your system. Is your system being backed up at work or at school? Without at least one backup method, you're constantly in danger that a sudden hard drive failure will cause you to lose everything. If you do not have some kind of current backup (school, work, or on your own using Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, or other backup program to an external hard drive, then please don't attempt anything until you get one and have at least one or more complete clones or several Time Machine backups of your system.
2.CleanMyMac2 is NOT helpful software. If anything it makes your system much more unstable and slower than it was before:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5061639?tstart=0
Follow the developers instructions to remove it: http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac/knowledgebase/how-to-uninstall-cleanmymac-2 Simply dragging the app to the trash does NOT remove it. Carefully removing CleanMyMac2 might restore SOME of the performance you seek.
3. You have just 2GB RAM memory. That's not enough for good performance with OS X Mavericks. This is illustrated by the 843MB of 'Page-outs' shown in your EtreCheck. That means that the computer is writing the contents of active RAM memory to the hard drive.
Virtual Memory Information:
    120 MB    Free RAM
    535 MB    Active RAM
    511 MB    Inactive RAM
    340 MB    Wired RAM
    2.88 GB    Page-ins
    843 MB    Page-outs
2GB RAM was was OK (though not great) to run OS X 10.6, but OS X Mavericks 10.9 really needs at least 4GB RAM, and 8GB RAM would offer somewhat better performance that 4GB.
Macintosh computers are notoriously 'picky' about RAM memory specifications. OtherWorldComputing (www.macsales.com) and crucial.com are two trustworthy vendors of RAM memory that works reliably in Macintosh computers.
Though not indicated by the EtreCheck report, one additional possibility is that your hard drive could be in the early stages of failure. That would also slow things down, and is yet another reason to be certain you have backups of your irreplacable files.

Report with Subreport very slow from SharePoint

HI,
I have a report with a sub-report that runs in about 9 seconds from my PC using the Report Designer with SQL Server 2008R2.
When I run the deployed report from SharePoint it takes 4 minutes. If I remove the sub-report it again runs fine from SharePoint.
The sub-report is pretty simple and links to the main report using 3 parameters.
What would cause this?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Trish

Hello Trish,
I have found similar thread with some good suggestion for optimizing the report in sharepoint.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/c140d26e-1c02-4f8d-bc61-f6ac75706556/reporting-services-very-slow-in-sharepoint?forum=sqlreportingservices
Hope it could help

Safari for mac 8.0.2 very slow

Hello dears,
I am not sure, but it seems that after I have upgraded my Mac to Yosemite my safari browser became very slow. Some sites needs few minutes to load. I was trying to delete the history, disable extensions. Nothing really helped. It looks that blue line starts running (aka loading site) and hangs at ±1/3 of the way. than continues. As I have said - some sites needs few minutes to load.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

JERRY HELP laptop keeps dropping wifi signal, very slow computer

I have read some blogs here where Jerry Lippey? has helped. PLEASE HELP!! My c655d-s5200 satellite laptop constantly drops the wifi connection. just in the registration for this site alone i had to reconnect about 10 times. computer is only about 1 year old. computer has always been very slow, even from day 1. taking sometimes a full minute or two to change pages. I never complained about it when it was under warranty. I just lived with it. and now that it just out of warranty, I have changed from mediacom cable to us cellular wifi, I am finding out that I have more problems than I thought. I have a good 4G singal and I am almost 100% sure it is not a problem with the hotspot. it seems my computer takes way to long thinking. even from day 1 sometimes it will not print a letter that I know I typed. It has most of the same problems as the person on a ship overseas did in another blog. If you havnt figured out yet I am NOT familiar with the computer. or tech terms. I am one of the dumbest ones on here. I tried to search and identify my wifi information by typing (pc diag ) in the search bar and no results came up. As I was going to try and redownload the driver. I still have the windows 7 that was originally loaded. I also have NO dates set to restore to. can someone please help me out. I am very disapointed with this toshiba computer. PS it just took over 40 seconds to back space and delete a full sentence I decided not to say.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

A little help for a newbie?

Hi, I am currently a newby in developing apps, It got to my ears that a little TV channel has a competition on creating an app to view their webpage without using safari browser...I would like to get some help with that, if that is possible!Thanks!

or, just find the PhoneBook constructor, and newthat
sucker.That depends on what the constructor does (it
shouldn't do any more than initialize the instance)
and what instance methods there are. He wants on
program to cause another one to do what's currently
in that second one's main.
I agree that in general it's probably a better idea
to creat a phone book and ask it to do things, but
just constructing one won't necessarily work for the
OP with his current code.Hmmm. I have to think about this a little. It seems to me that it depends on how much application logic resides in the main class, and how the OP wants to interface. If all he can do is call main, then he has little programmatic control, since the interface is defined by the public methods. Unless all he wants to do is start it up, and then interface by way of the GUI.

Need help for a friend with setting up their bb email

I have a bb bold and never had any trouble setting up my email. But, my friend is having trouble with her's. She is on Verizon and was able to set up the email so that she could receive emails but, she's not able to send out going messages to everyone. It was suggested by Verizont that she set up the email using IMAP instead of POP. She asked me to help with getting her directions but, I haven't been able to find anything online about configuring that in the email set up. Does anyone have any directions I can email her about setting up her email?
Thx in advance.
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
When configuring your email, you cannot, inside of BIS, control IMAP versus POP. Rather, it's a function of the server to which you point BIS for your email -- if it does IMAP, BIS will configure IMAP. Many email providers supply separate email servers for POP or IMAP...some combine on one server. Not knowing your email provider, It's impossible to tell you what your email provider is doing. But, here are some links that might prove helpful:

Hi,

I am still a student so i dont have much time for researching these functions, so im asking for an example working code for this problem.
Thanks for your the help in advance...
I've also tried changing the examples from the package
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
You can use LaunchExecutableEx to determine the window state:
LaunchExecutableEx ("command.com /C calc.exe", LE_HIDE, NULL);
Beware that this function does not wait for the started executable to exit.
It executes the command in the string and continues.
If your application has to get the results of the call, then you need to get the application handle (3rd parameter, put a variable instead of the NULL above) and call ExecutableHasTerminated in a loop to find out if the execution finished.
Read carefully the help for the LaunchExecutableEx function and Handle parameter.
To get the result of the command line call, you can add a "> output.txt" parameter to the end of your command line call.
This way all the text output of the command is written to the output.txt file, from which you can read the result.
Check the command-line email sender program's help if there is a special paramter to make it more "verbose".
Hope this helps,
