Help!Urgent! Things in Finder become slow!

I open Finder, and when I open a folder, it takes about 3 seconds to display what's in this folder!
Help!! What's happening?
For my MBP hd and my Lacie External HD it's the same!
Also, If I delete a file, it takes 3 seconds to del it. Paste a file, 3 more seconds to paste!

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."

  • What is the cause for the mac to become slow

    what is the cause for the mac to become slow?

    Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain 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/Mountain 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.

  • My mac has become slow since installing mavericks iOS

    Since installing the Mavericks OS my Mac has become slow and unresponsive, it freezes up all of the time and I always have to wait for the different software to load once I have clicked on the icon.
    Before I installed Mavericks when I clicked on a program it opened straight away and I could use it immediatly, is any one else having this problem?
    Thank you

    Here's your report with some comments in red:
    Hardware Information:
              MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009)
              MacBook - model: MacBook6,1
              1 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU: 2 cores
              2 GB RAM Mavericks will run with 2 GB of RAM, but it won't run well. I know the specs say 2, but 4 is a more realistic minimum for reasonable performance. You have page-outs (see the last line of the report), which means that tasks are being paged out to your virtual memory (i.e., your hard drive), because your RAM is full. The page outs might go down if you fix some of the possible problems below, and your performance might improve; if it doesn't, you might consider putting more RAM in your Mac.

    What to do about the items in green:
    The items in green are third party software that may be a problem. They run all the time in the background, and thus may be making things slow. You can test this theory: try a safe boot (restart, hold down shift until you see the Apple logo). A safe boot does some diagnostic checking and then starts up without third party added-on software. If this eliminates the symptoms, then you know the problem is with a third-party item. Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    I don't know if the green ones are a problem or not, but they are on the list of suspects, and you're going to need to do some research yourself.
    The general philosophy is:
    Figure out what the application is that is responsible for a particular green item.
    If you can live without the application, it, uninstall it. You should uninstall the entire application that is responsible, not just the green bit. The best way is with an uninstaller from the developer of the application. If there's no uninstaller (one of the hallmarks of crapware), then an internet search may help (as in, "uninstall crapapp mac", where crapapp is the name of the software in question). After uninstalling the app, restart, see how your symptoms are, and run Etrecheck again. I am a fan of AppZapper for uninstalling apps, if there is no uninstaller from the developer. AppZapper - The uninstaller Apple forgot.
    Sometimes, after you have run an uninstaller or manually uninstalled a suspect application, one of those green bits will still be on the Etrecheck report. If your Mac's symptoms have resolved, it's better to leave well enough alone and leave it there. If you must, you can try a modified Finder search to find the stubborn green bit and remove it. These system files do not show up in a default Finder or Spotlight Search.
    If you can't live without this app, then at least make sure it is up to date and compatible with Mavericks.
    What to do about the items in red
    These are definite problems and should be fixed if they are Apple software. They should be fixed or uninstalled if they are third party developer software.
    For red Apple items, I would try:
    repairing your hd. Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery Then restart, reassess performance, and rerun Etrecheck.
    If that doesn't work, I'd try Techtool, which can occasionally fix something that disk utility can't. Techtool Pro 7 Then restart, reassess performance, and rerun Etrecheck.
    If that doesn't work, I'd reinstall Mavericks over your current installation. Restart, reassess, and Etrecheck.
    If that doesn't work, you're looking at the nuclear option: backup your documents, erase your HD, and do a clean reinstall of Mavericks.
    For red non-Apple software, I'd uninstall it and then recheck with Etrecheck. Then if you must reinstall it, make sure it's up to date and compatible with Mavericks.

  • IMac has become slow and freezes up

    For a few months now my iMac has been much slower than it used to be. Apps take longer to open, menu functions respond more slowly, folders and files take longer to open, pages longer to display, etc. Frequently the active window freezes and the colour wheel starts spinning for 10-15 seconds (it has been doing it twice since I started writing this sentence). This happens with all apps I am using, like Safari, Mail, Word and Excel, but particularly frequently in Logic Pro X. Sometimes when it happens (but not always), I get the error message "Disk too slow or system overload (-10010)". However, I upgraded to Logic Pro X about a year ago, and I never had this problem during the first number of months after the upgrade. I am aware that Logic uses a lot of CPU and memory, but, as mentioned, I also have the problem when Logic is not running. This leads me to think there might be something with the hard disk, although it beats me why it suddenly should have become slow. I am currently running everything from the built-in 1 TB hard disk. I have a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 CPU and 8 GB RAM. A full EtreCheck report with my system specifics is enclosed below. Can anyone help?

  • Since installing Yosemite, my MacBook Pro has become slower.  Is there any way to fix this problem?

    Ever since I installed OS X Yosemite on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro, it has started becoming slower and slower and glitching out.  Is there any way to fix this?  Here is my diagnostics:

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Find a slow query

    Hi all,
    I have two questions about the SQL tuning:
    There are many open sessions for an Oracle database,
    (1) How to find the session that runs a slow query?
    (2) How to locate / find this slow query so that the query can be tuned?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    (1) How to find the session that runs a slow query?This can be coming up from the wait events that the sessions are waiting for.So you can check V$session_wait to see that which are the sessions which are waiting for some thing to happen and for that reason have become slow.Also you can take the advantage of ASH in 10g to tell you the same if you want to drill down your search for last few minutes.
    (2) How to locate / find this slow query so that the query can be tuned?IF you read Optimizing OralcePerformance, this is the first thing that Carry asks to address and take extreme caution in doing it.Ask the user that which business process is slow.It will vary depending upon the business.There is nothing called ,"we are slow" and there is no such thing that "tune it all".We have to tune the main area or the maximum benefit giving area only.Ask the user which query/report he is running which he wants to get optimized.You can also take advantage or statspack/AWR report to go for the particular query depending upon the wait event.If you know the query than trace the query to see what is happening.I shall suggest 10046 trace forthe query as its more wider and imparts mch more info as compared to tkprof but you can pick what you want/like.

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    After moving all the files, restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This unwanted program is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Swing JTextField becomes slow after entering large unicode text.

    Hi All,
    We are developing a Indian s/w in Java, where we are using Indic InputMethods for taking user input in Hindi.
    Things works fine for small amount of text entered into a JTextField, but when we try to enter large amount of hindi text (let's say 100+ lines), it becomes slow bit by bit, ultimately giving impression of a application hang.
    We are using linux OS (Mandrake 10.1) on intel boxes with 265 MB RAM.
    Can any one help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm .. I think I may be aware of that cutting edge application ;)
    Kindly let me know the solution.
    Abhi.

  • FINDER becomes UNRESPONSIVE during AppleScript runs in 10.6.5

    Has anyone experiences the Finder becoming unresponsive when running a script in Snow Leopard? We have scripts that push PDFs to an Apple Server (10.4) via SMB or AFP and while the script does run fine- during the last minute of it running, the Finder and the AppleScript become unresponsive for 30-60 sec or so then snap back and finish their job.
    This was not happening in Leopard (so they say) to the same Tiger Server
    Any Ideas what we may be experiencing? A suggested Fix? is 10.6.7 going to resolve this issue with Slow SMB connections?

    I have the exact same problem on two of my imacs, both have the 10.6.5 update and have been having networking problems since November of last year. I have pinged both IP addresses successfully so they are active.I have also tweaked the proxy settings for our network, trying all combinations, to no avail.
    I have at least succeeded in getting one of the macs to connect to email and Safari but the connection in Safari times out after about 10 minutes and then hangs and you have to force quit. Thereafter only a reboot will restore Safari.
    The second imac is in a worse state, in that it does not connect up at all even though the network is active and IP has been successfully pinged.
