How can i make my macbook run faster again?
Hey, i own 15 inch macbook pro 2011 that came with snow leopard and i upgraded it to lion but i observed that my computer got slower speacially when i start up i wait much more longer than i used to.I don't have many programs downloaded i mean only 130 gb is used out 500 so, is there anything i can do to make my mac run faster? In addition i am thinking about to make participation with win7 does it affect the speed of my computer negative? Thank you.
If you have only 4GBs of RAM, this article may help you - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3238726
You may need to upgrade the RAM or make changes to the apps you use.. Since your Hard Drive is nicely underutilized and is probably behaving well, that should not be the problem.

How can I make my macbook run faster?
I've recently installed hp stuff for my printer and my hard drive is almost full.
Is there anything else I can do besides clearing some memory and taking off the hp stuff?
I was also thinking about upgrading to snow leopard. Would that make a difference?
Thanks!!First, I think you are already running Snow Leopard? Your sig says "10.6.3".... Having said that, upgrading to a new OS when there is a problem will NOT make things better - it will usually make things worse. So, when there is a problem, it needs to be addressed first before thinking of upgrading or installing more stuff.
Now to your hard drive space: Mac OS requires an absolute minimum of 10 - 15% of total hard drive space available at all times to operate properly. So how large is your hard drive? If you have less than 15% left, start clearing some space hogging stuff (usually movies, pics, music) onto an external drive. Also make sure you frequently use "empty trash". Before going further, please post your total hard drive capacity and how much is left. And, for future reference your hard drive is not "memory", that is usually referred to as "RAM". -

How can I make my program run faster ? (changing colour indicators quicker)
Hi everyone, I have a program with 100 indicator colour backgrounds that change according to 100 temperatures. A case structure (with 100 cases) sets the background colours one after the other and runs in a while loop with no timing (as fast as possible). The temperatures are loaded up from an array that is initialized at the beginning of the program. The idea is to have an overall view of the change of temperatures (just by looking at the change of colours). Everything works fine except that it doesn’t run fast enough... The change of colours is not smooth at all ... you can really see the increments. It works fine with 20 temperatures for instance. 1) Would anybody have a solution to improve this? I was wondering if Labview perhaps actualises all of the values each time one changes (just like with the excel cells: an option that you can desactivate and make things run quicker when you use a macro) which would make a big loss of time....
There is no data saving this is just a post treatment program. So My my program isn't doing anything else.
2) I have attached a screen print of a problem a faced when making up the VI I attached. Why can’t I wire directly to the Index Array that is in the For Loop in my VI… I had to go throw a shift register to make up the example. When going back to my original program I couldn’t use the index array a second time (screen shot). Thanks a lot for any help, Regards, User

How can i make my imac run faster?
I have an 8 year old iMac. I am running OS X.
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM51.0090.B09
I am a graphic designer so I need to run InDesign, Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop usually simultaneously. I also have Microsoft Office installed.
It is now running very slow and is sluggish. I've not tried anything yet to solve my problem,
Any tips what I can do to speed it up, would appreciate any helpl!I have an 8 year old iMac.
IMHO, here is no magic bullet to make a very old computer run applications like the ones you describe fast.
Compare the specs on your machine with a 27" iMac (current line):
27-inch: 3.2GHz
Specifications
3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB (two 4GB) memory
1TB hard drive1
NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M with 1GB video memory
I don't spend other people's money, but if it were my money I would seriously consider a new computer.

How can I make my eMac run faster?
I'm using OS X version 10.4.11, 1 GH PowerPC G4, 1 GB SDRAM. It's a wonderful machine though 8 years old, but lately it is running very slow. Is it worth buying an app like MacKeeper to improve its performance or is there a low tech way of accomplishing this?
Hi Janet,
Whatever you do, stay away from Mackeeper...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15421046#15421046
And hundreds more...

OK, how much free space on the Hard drive at the moment?
This free tool may speed things up...
I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process. -

How Can I make the following query faster
Hi Guru
I want your valuable suggestion to make the following query faster.I did not write all required columns list. I gave here all those columns where I have conditon like decode,case when,or subquery
(SELECT CASE WHEN REPORTED_BY IS NULL THEN
(SELECT INITCAP(EMP_NAME) FROM HR_EMP WHERE EMP_NO = M.EMP_NO_RADIO)
ELSE (SELECT INITCAP(EMP_NAME) FROM HR_EMP WHERE EMP_NO = M.REPORTED_BY) END RADIOLOGIST_NAME,
(SELECT TEAM_NAME FROM DC_TECHTEAMMST WHERE TEAM_NO = M.GROUP_NO) GROUP_NAME,
CASE WHEN M.RESULT_ENTRY_LOCK_BY IS NOT NULL THEN 'R'
WHEN M.REPORT_DONE = 'D' THEN 'D'
WHEN M.REPORT_DONE = 'P' THEN 'P'
WHEN M.REPORT_DONE = 'F' THEN 'F'
WHEN NVL(M.IMG_CAPTURED,'X') NOT IN ('B','Y') OR M.QA_RESULT = 'F' THEN 'S'
WHEN NVL(M.IMG_CAPTURED,'X') IN ('B','Y') AND NVL(M.QA_RESULT,'X') NOT IN ('B','P') THEN 'Q'
wHEN NVL(M.IMG_CAPTURED,'X') IN ('B','Y') AND NVL(M.QA_RESULT,'X') IN ('B','P') THEN 'C'
END STATUS,
(SELECT DECODE(NVL(V.DELIVERY_STATUS,'N'),'E',3,'U',2,1)
FROM FN_VOUCHERCHD V WHERE V.VOUCHER_NO = M.VOUCHER_NO AND V.ITEM_NO = M.TEST_NO) DELIVERY_STATUS,
trunc((start_time-order_end)*24,0)||' hr'||':'||
decode(length(trunc(to_char(MOD((M.start_time-M.order_end)*24,1)*60),0)),2,to_char(trunc(to_char(MOD((M.start_time-M.order_end)*24,1)*60),0))
,1,to_char('0'||trunc(to_char(MOD((M.start_time-M.order_end)*24,1)*60),0)))||' mi' duration_order_capture,
DECODE(R.CONFIDENTIAL_PATIENT,'Y','*',NVL(R.NAME,R.name_lang_name||' '||R.name_lang_fname)) PAT_NAME,
FNC_PATIENTAGE(R.REG_NO,'',R.CONFIDENTIAL_PATIENT) pat_age,
DECODE(R.CONFIDENTIAL_PATIENT,'Y','*',R.PATIENT_SEX) PAT_SEX
FROM DC_MODALITYAPPOINTMENT M,DC_TESTMST T,OP_REGISTRATION R
WHERE M.ACCESSION_NO IS NOT NULL AND NVL(M.CANCEL_FLAG,'N') = 'N'
AND (NVL(T.SP_GEN,'S') = 'S' OR NVL(M.DOC_REQ_GEN,'N') = 'Y')
AND M.TEST_NO IS NOT NULL AND M.TEST_NO = T.TEST_NO AND M.REG_NO = R.REG_NO)
How can I make the above query faster.
Query condition or indexing whatever is preferable please guide me.
The approximate data of tables
DC_MODALITYAPPOINTMENT 2,000,000
A lot of updating is going on some columns of this table.all columns are not in the select list, Insertion is happend in batch process by back-end trigger of another table.
Primary key based one column,
OP_REGISTRATION 500,000
Daily insertion on this table around 500 records,updation is not much.
Primary key based one column 'reg_no'
DC_TESTMST
Total records of this table not more than 1500.This is setup table. Insertion and updation is not much on this table also
I have to create a view based on this query .
and I have to create another view to serve another purpose.
In the 2nd view I need this query as well as I need another query by using union all operator based on a table(dc_oldresult)
which have 1,600,000 records.There is no DML on this table
SELECT NVL((SELECT USER_DEFINE_TEST_NO FROM DC_TESTMST WHERE TEST_NO = SV_ID AND ROWNUM = 1 ),SV_ID) USER_D_EXAM_NO,
(SELECT TEST_TYPE FROM DC_TESTMST WHERE TEST_NO = SV_ID AND ROWNUM = 1 ) EXAM_TYPE,
NVL((SELECT TEST_NAME FROM DC_TESTMST WHERE TEST_NO = SV_ID AND ROWNUM = 1),'Exam Code: '||sv_id) EXAM_NAME,
(SELECT PAT_NAME FROM OP_REGISTRATION WHERE REG_NO = HN) PATIENT_NAME,
(SELECT PAT_AGE FROM OP_REGISTRATION WHERE REG_NO = HN) PATIENT_AGE,
(SELECT PAT_SEX FROM OP_REGISTRATION WHERE REG_NO = HN) PATIENT_GENDER
FROM DC_OLDRESULT
WHERE HN IS NOT NULL AND SV_ID IS NOT NULL AND UPPER(ACTIVE) = 'TRUE'
Should I make join DC_OLDRESULT, OP_REGISTRATION and DC_TESTMST? or The eixisting subquery is better?
I use OP_REGISTRATION and DC_TESTMST in both query
Thanks in advance

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