How can I make Garageband run faster?

For drums, I use Addictive drum software, and use amp simulation such as guitar rig. However I also use some redwirez cab impulses and that seems to slow down the performance big time. Is there anyway to get around that and make performance better without doing things like locking tracks while recording on other tracks? Because I need to listen to all tracks while recording you know?

locking tracks doesn't stop a track from playing

Hi, I have a iMac Tiger running slowly, how can I make it run faster?

Hi, I have a iMac Tiger 10.4.11 running slowly, how can I make it run faster?

Look at what is happenning with your Mac when you run Activity Monitor.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor
Click on the CPU tab on the lower half of the window to see how much time you are using.
Click on System Memory to get statistics on memory usage. You should have some free memory.
When you have lots of page outs more memory will be helpful. My entry for entry for Page ins/outs is:
Page ins/outs: 29163/0
Notice I have 0 pageouts which says that I am not using my harddrive for extra memory space. Thus, I have enough memory.
Activity Monitor has a neat feature where it can display a dynamic dock icon. In Activity Monitor View > Dock icon > Show cpu history.

Help needed with a SELECT statement. How can I make it run faster?

Hi,
not sure if my brain is just too tired but I can't seem to crack this problem today.
Here is my scenario.
I have 2 tables
TABLE1 (searchId INTEGER, routeId INTEGER);
TABLE2 (routeId INTEGER, cityId INTEGER);
There are indexes on all 4 columns.
(routeId on TABLE1 is a primary key).
In the data I am using, a given search has more than 500 routes, each route has between 10 and 300 cities among more than 4000 possible different cities.
Now, what I want to create is the list of route couple, within a certain search, that do not have a single city in common.
That list should populate a table with the following structure
TABLE3 (searchId INTEGER, routeId1 INTEGER, routeId2 INTEGER)
Here is the fastest select statement I have found so far.
SELECT :searchId, t1.routeId, t2.routeId FROM table1 t1, table1 t2
WHERE t1.searchId=:searchId AND t2.searchId=:searchId
AND t1.routeId>t2.routeId
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT cityId FROM table2
WHERE routeId=t1.routeId
INTERSECT
SELECT cityId FROM table2
WHERE routeId=t2.routeId);
But it still seem really slow to me.
Any suggestion for an improved version is welcome.
Thanks,
Martin.

I originaly posted this thread because I tought I was missing something "obvious" that would perform better that would make my SELECT statement perform better.
So I did not want to go as deep as using TKPROOF yet.
Here is the statistics I gets on my statement.
1   SELECT t1.searchId,t1.routeId, t2.routeId id2
2      FROM table1 t1, table1 t2
3     WHERE t1.searchid=t2.searchid
4      AND t1.searchId=91
5      AND t1.routeId>t2.routeId
6      AND NOT EXISTS (
7             SELECT cityId FROM table2
8              WHERE routeId=t1.routeId
9             INTERSECT
10             SELECT cityId FROM table2
11*            WHERE routeId=t2.routeId)

How can I make Privoxy load faster?

I'm using vimb and it works well except the only way to block ads is to use privoxy. Privoxy takes about 5-10 minutes to start after my computer boots. This means I can't access the internet when I first start my computer. How can I make it load faster?

After updating to mavericks on my MacBook, the screen keeps saying "setting up your mac." It has been like this for hours! How can I make it go faster?

After updating to mavericks on my MacBook, the screen keeps saying "setting up your mac." It has been like this for hours! How can I make it go faster? It's has been like this for 4 hrs.

I don't think your mac is setting up. It's stuck.
I would:
hold the power button until it shuts down
unplug all peripherals
do a safe boot (restart and hold down the shift key until you see the apple logo).
If it starts up in a safe boot, then you can try restarting with a normal boot.
If it does not start with a normal boot, then you probably have some incompatible third party software. Likely culprits are:
MacKeeper
CleanMyMac
third-party antivirus software
any other "cleaning" or "optimizing" or similar third party "utilities".
A good place to start would be to uninstall any of those (while in safe mode) and then restart.

How can I make Terminal run Java 7 downloaded from the Oracle Website?

I've downloaded Java 7 from the Oracle website, and I want the Terminal application to run that Java 7 download. I try to run Java programs that require Java 7, but it runs with the Apple Internal Java 6 release. How can I make it so my MacBook Pro runs the download of Java that I downloaded? I know this sounds stupid, but am I routing my machine to run the internal Java 6 version? I have seen many videos in which people with the same software version as me run Java like this with no problem. Could you please let me know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I really want to be able to use the Java 7, particularly because I'm always getting this "Unsupported Major Minor Version 51.0" from many applications that are Terminal based.
Thanks!

I think I've answered your question. The Oracle JRE is a web plugin. The JDK is a development kit for applications with embedded Java. Neither one replaces the Apple-distributed Java frameworks for running standalone applications without embedded Java. Any other questions you have should be answered by the Oracle documentation.

How can i make my computer faster?

I recently have gotten my macbook pro just last month in june, and now it seems that certain things are really really slow. Comparitively, safari seems to be taking forever opening up normal pages that didnt take long earlier. i was wondering if it might be a virus slowing it down, but i see that there arent any mac os viruses known of. So i was wondering what i could do to make it run faster again.

you don't have a virus in your macbook......
you already have the best anti virus protection installed - it's called OS X Lion.
open up activity monitor and under all processes, see what's using up most of your % CPU. Hightlight the ones using a lot of your % CPU and hit quit process.
also see what's loading in your login items - delete the ones you think you don't need.
open disk utility and verify your disk then verify your disk permissions - repair if needed then restart your macbook.
also, how much RAM have you got installed?
good luck

FAQ: How do I make Photoshop run faster, or How do I increase performance?

Why doesn't Photoshop run faster?
There are many factors that contribute to the responsiveness of Photoshop. From hardware to software, there a nearly an infinite number of combinations that can boost or hinder Photoshop as it tries to work. Considering factors like how much RAM you have only begins to scratch the surface. Then you have to look at how fast the RAM is and how fast the motherboard will be in supporting it. A computer can only run as fast as its slowest components. Additionally, the hardware resources must be split between all of the running applications. And while you may only be running a web browser at the same time as Photoshop, what about all of the applications running in the background? Security software such as antivirus remains hidden, operating behind the scenes, but it still takes up CPU cycles and RAM. And what about the files you are working with? What are their pixel dimensions? File size on disk? Number of layers, smart objects, styles, and adjustments?
To start, though, you must make sure you meet or exceed the minimum system requirements:

What can I do to make Photoshop run more efficiently?
There are many factors to take into consideration and may steps that can be taken. Here are a list of resources that go into great detail.

Photoshop CS6: The Need for Speed
What about Photoshop taking advantage of the power of my video card?
With each new release of Photoshop, it will take more advantage of you GPU (Graphic Processing Unit), which can process display information much faster than your CPU. You video card also has its own separate RAM (known as VRAM) for storing this information. However, not all video cards are equal, even if they have the same amount of VRAM. There are different display processing technologies that all video cards do not have access to. These include technologies like OpenGL, OpenCL, and Shader Model. And these technologies have different versions that your video card may or may not have.
For more information on Photoshop's use of GPU, please review:

FAQ: What features use the GPU and how do I troubleshoot GPU issues?
What other performance boosts has Photoshop gained recently?
While Photoshop tends to gain overall performance upgrades by cleaning up the code to make things run more smoothly with each release, there are a couple new technologies that Photoshop has taken advantage of:

How can I make AWT go faster on iPAQ?

Hi,
I have an application on iPAQ 3950, and the graphics (AWT) is very slow.
I have removed the lines as much as possible (which helped a lot), made text fields hide under labels (which helped too), replaced buttons with labels (no change that I noticed), but still I can see the remaining lines draw from one side to the other, and the components arrange inside their layout.
Does anybody have any ideas about how to make it go faster?
I didn't notice any change from iPAQ 3850 (200 MHz) to iPAQ 3950 (400 MHz), maybe it has to do with screen processor (if any?)
Thanks,
Moti

Hi,
I suggest you to use swt port for pocketpc. It has more widgets than awt and runs at native speed. It will run faster than ANY awt implementation because it uses native widgets. Also you need JVM with good JNI support (J9 known to work well, though it has fixable bugs in http connection handler: it does't work right with chuncked encoding)
SWT has bad (inefficient)FormLayout implementation (that dog slow with bunch of widgets). I've rewritten FormLayout that is about 10+ times faster and uses less memory.

Mac's typically don't need defragging, however if it's a older Mac it most certainly can use it.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
+1. Is there a way to defrag a Mac+
You shouldn't need to but if you must create a second Bootable volume and install Drive Genius on it then Boot from that volume and run the software, one of it's options is a full defragmentation.
+2. Will Parallels 4 cause the the Mac to crash?+
