how can I improve the speed of my Macbook? It's become incredibly slow...

Hi,
Troubleshooting Steps are... Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

How can i improve the speed of my mac?

my mac has 667 MHz, how can i improve the speed?

Sorry if that sounded not very helpful, but basically it comes down to that. Not much can improve the performance of machine of that vintage, to stand up to a current model, unless you spend almost as much on upgrades (some of which to consider are listed below).
Some thought should be given to the budget (money and time and effort) one is willing to spend. The G4 Digital Audio is possibly a good candidate for upgrading for someone who is interested in do-it-yourself computer stuff and bargain hunting for parts. It can even be a fun hobby. But even max-ing out all possible upgrades will still be lacking in performance compared to the current Mac models, I don't actually have any specific benchmarks, just my gut feel. And you may spend a good portion of the cost of a new machine on all those parts for the old machine.
Is this the 667MHz machine (G4 Digital Audio) in question?

http://eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=g4da.html&title= Power%20Macintosh%20G4%20Digital%20Audio
or is it some other model?
Here are some CPU upgrades, for example:
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=162&type=Processor&T I=2420&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades
you can even get a small rebate for your original CPU
http://eshop.macsales.com/Service/rebate-program/
Any of those CPUs should double your processing speed, but you may also need more RAM...or the CPU will just be waiting for data to be read from the virtual memory on the hard drive.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/133SD512328/
you could max it out with a whopping 1.5 GB, with 3 of these.
and you may need a better video card...
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=162&type=Video&TI=29 34&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades
To add larger and faster hard drives than the original Ultra ATA/66 can handle you would need a PCI ATA133 or PCI SATA card...

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/TSATA/
And if you need to install OS X from a DVD, and want to burn your own DVD, you may need a new optical drive, if one hasn't been installed already, to replace the CD-RW:
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?Model=162&Type=InternalOpticalDrives&sort=pop
Also, check out the Power Macintosh G4 forums if you have any questions about that particular model, (if I guessed correctly)
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=113
Even while I am trying to build a case to convince someone not to waste their money on this project, I am thinking to myself, where can I pick up one of these G4 towers to take on this project myself. Maybe a Quicksilver, no a FW400 MDD dual-boot for sure, I still have some OS 9 software. I did about all I can with my G3 Desktop, and spent more than my MacBook cost.

I have a new ipad with retina display and the orientation change from portrait to landscape is extremely slow? How can I improve the speed?

Any ideas on how to improve the speed ?

Hi rodtheprod,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the issue you are describing. If a movie from the iTunes Store supports multiple languages, they can usually be changed as outlined in the following article:
iTunes: Language settings for video
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5562
If this is not possible and no changes have been made to the country settings for the iTunes Store, you may want to try redownloading the movie (if it is still available):

How can I improve the speed of my G4 Powerbook.

My G-4 Powerbook, bought 3 years ago, is sooooooooooo slow. I am so tired of seeing that colorful spinning thing always spinning. I'm not yet ready for a new computer. . My system specs are 1.67ghz 512 RAM 80gb HD, and I'm running current version of Tiger. Would upgrading to 1G of RAM help? I was told by Apple's telephone tech support that I have 2 cards of 256 ram each. If I were to upgrade 1 or 2 of them to a 512 card I would see a big difference in speed. Anybody have any experience with this, or any comments. Would appreciate. Lyn in Manhattan

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
It's not unusual to see Powerbooks around 3 or so years old slowing down - I agree it gets old, fast. First thing to do is clean up the hard disk, which can accumulate 'stuff' over time. If you don't have it already, download OnyX for Tiger from http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html . A number of people have used this to fine tune and improve the performance of their system.
In OnyX, use the maintenance tab, do permissions and scripts.
Use the cleaning tab: Internet clear caches, browser history, recent searches. Caches, if you clear your kernel/system cache, your system may be a little slower to reboot while it rebuilds the cache - I clear these before an operating system upgrade. Log, delete log files, crash reporter logs, and archived logs. Trash, delete. Misc, delete temporary and obsolete items.
Another resource to look at is Dr Smokes performance FAQ at http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/performance.html
Also, make sure you have at least 10% of your disk free, for systems usage. Performance can decline rapidly if there's not enough disk space.
An easy way to see if more memory would help is to bring up your activity monitor (on your hard drive in applications/utilities). Look at the system memory tab, specifically at page ins and page outs. If outs are more than 10%-20% of page ins, you can benefit from more memory. A page out is when the system writes memory to the hard drive, to make room for something else. Do that too much, and you impact performance. Recommend Crucial, Kingston (not their value ram, however), or Samsung as three brands that work reliably in our Powerbooks. Crucial's site is http://www.crucial.com , Kingston is at http://www.kingston.com , and Samsung is available through distibutors - I use OWC at http://www.macsales.com . If you decide to upgrade, I'd pull one of the 256MB cards and put a 1GB card in it's place. Going from 512MB to 768MB isn't that big a change.
This should get you rolling in the right direction - please post back with any questions.

How can I improve the speed of my QuickVPN connection?

I have finally got my "Quick"VPN connection working with my small business network. In the past, I used a PPTP VPN via Windows to connect to the network, but was limited to one person on at a time. Now I have a QuickVPN we can have up to 10 people connected, but the speed is considerably slower. I haven't done any hard core testing. Before I spend even more time on this, I wanted to see if there were any good ideas out there.
Do you have any?
Thanks!

I don't understand my EtreCheck report. What can I do to improve the speed of my Macbook 2010, which became very slow after upgrading to Yosemite?

I just updated my Macbook (2010) to Yosemite, and it's become very slow. After searching through this community, I downloaded and run EtreCheck, but don't understand what the report means. Please could you help me with what I should do to improve my computer's speed, aside from upgrading my RAM? Thank you so much.

I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
I would like to add:
you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

How can I improve the speed my macbook pro is running at without upgrading hardware?

Okay, I have a standard macbook pro, software is all fully up to date as is my OS, however over the past month or so it seems the mac often takes a fair few seconds to carry out certain functions, and comes up with the multi-coloured loading cursor thing often. It's not a case of memory as I have over 2/3rds of my disk space clear and I don't think my CPU is over-burdened as the monitor shows (if any of these processes are suspect please let me know):
I've ran a malware scan, and it came back with nothing bar a few tracking cookies but I doubt they're responsible. The mac is from 2011, but ran as good as new until about a month ago.
Any ideas how I can improve it's performance? Just a heads up, I have some vague technical awareness, but it's probably best to treat me like I know nothing. Thanks.

How can i improve the speed of my imac G5 PowerPC?

my computer has memory of 512MB, 2.1Ghz CPU speed. i have owned it since 2005. i am not sure where to begin, but thought giving some stats would help others diagnose my problem.
the activity monitor says i have only 12 MB of free memory: 88MB Wired, 246MB Active, 146MB Inactive, for a total of 5100 Used. my page Ins/Outs is 1070428/399129.
it would appear i am using only 25-40% of my CPU, Firefox being the largest single process.
i also have over 1000 photos in iphoto, some of which are in RAW format. i also have a number of Excel files, some of which have saved pivot tables.

my page Ins/Outs is 1070428/399129.
That ratio ("outs are 37 percent of "ins") say you need more RAM. The system is having to use virtual memory which is slower than real memory. If System Profiler (in "Utilities") says your Model is "powerMac12,1" you have room to add more RAM, up to a total of 2.5G. With the ins/outs looking the way they do not. that would give a modest speed boost.
IF the free space on your hard drive is getting low,--like under about 20 percent--having too little physical RAM installed can aggravate things in that Virtual Memory has to search longer to find qualifying blocks on the hard drive to which it can write the overflow data.

How can I improve the speed of my VI to work in real-time at higher sample rates?

I am currently trying to implement a multi-channel control system, the vi of which is attached. It effectively consists of a number of additions and multiplications in the processing subvi (also attached), however, for 7 inputs and 7 outputs I cannot get it to work at sample rates higher than 3kHz without experiencing an overwrite error. Does anyone have any tips as to how I can get the processing to work more efficiently such that I can get it to work at higher sample rates?

Hi mattwilko,
I believe the first issue that you should address is the building of arrays.
This is mainly happening on the edge of your loops.
This is my reasoning.
Allocating memory in RT to handle an array that is growing will blow away your determinism.
I would suggets pre-allocating all of your storage and work with the data in-place.
In LV 7.1 there are some great new tools that will help nail down issue of this type.
If you have LV 7.1 you may want to upgrade so you can take advantage of the new tools.
Trying to help,

How can I improve the performance of my macbook pro?

My macbook is running really slow. is there a good free way to see if there is something wrong with it?

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? When did it start to be slow? Did you change anything just before it started? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

How can I flip my iphone videos on my PC? My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion

My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion and staggers into normal play. The clips are slightly cut as well, the clips do not roll continuously. I'm taling about videos that are no more than 2 minutes long. I'm frustrated and I could really use some advice-my kids basketball games is what I'm recording and I'm trying to send them to my family (they are not very tech savvy). Thanks

Not it's only function but one for which it was most admirably suited, which is why I really hope someone can find a work around. I am hoping my post to the Apple feedback may prompt a useful response from Apple and I live in hope that my post here will elicit a useful response from another user. I did not miss the the text at the top of the feedback form but you presumably missed my initial text, 'someone here can explain' or my subsequent 'work around from another user'
Just in case anyone reading this has a large collection of music videos, video podcasts or iTunes U then DO NOT upgrade your iPad to iOS 5. If you are considering purchasing the iPad as a useful mobile device to experience these media organised in your iTunes please don't as you will be wasting your money. (unless someone on this forum knows of a way to undo the mess created by those infallible folks at Apple)
Yes I know it does other things but the purpose I bought it for doesn't work anymore

How can I improve download speed

How can I improve download speed of movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV? 10 hours+ minimum. I've already selected a lower video resolution from the settings in the iTunes store. It used to be way faster. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Check the Internet speed to confirm it is what it is supposed to be by going to www.speedtest.net
On the ATV, try Settings > General > Reset.
Power cycle the router, modem, and the ATV

Why is my macbook pro running so slow and how do I improve the speed?

why is my macbook pro running so slow and how do I improve the speed?

Write off the MS stuff as indicators for now--starting with Office 2008, they developed very long launch times. The time to launch 2008 on my old 1.25Ghz G4 and my MBP 2.2G are virtually the same. Even document opens/saves are slow compared to Office 2004 and earlier.
1) You have adequate hard drive space so that eliminates one of the usual suspects.
2) Check for runaway background processes. Quit all running user applications so the computer is at normal idle. Find Activity Monitor in Applications > Utilities and launch it. If you've not run it before, change the "Show" pulldown at the top of the AM window from its default of "User Processes" to "All Processes." There is a column for "%CPU." Click that column header to sort by CPU usage. Watch the processes "bubble" for about a minute to get a better picture of the usage.
If any process is using more than about 25 percent of the CPU cycles while the computer is idling, post the names of the processes and we can see if they can be eliminated. My MBP shows nothing using more that about 5 percent on any given test run as long as I close all my user apps.
3) If you have never done any sort of maintenance procedures, taht can slow you down. Simply restarting the computer a few times a week clear a lot of temporary files. You also may wish to review this article on the Mac OSX periodic maintenance scripts, which, if run, also do a lot of cleanup:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
There are other useful articles on file maintenance associated with the one. Here's the index:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
Check out articles with "Maintain" and "Tuning" in the titles.
4) Use Disk Utility to check the SMART Status of your hard drive. A failing drive can make things slow before it makes things stop.

How can I improve the stability of itunes64bit 8.0.2 on my Vista system?

Vista Home Premium: iTunes64bit: application crashes after adding album photos and then changing views (list, Album, split) or clicking on different playlists and back to the entire music library.
The library has 42,000 items (mostly music) so it is quite large. At launch it takes a long time for itunes to load and display. There is no user cues telling me it is running. It simply displays after 60 or more seconds.
Then I start working in the library, pasting pictures to multiple items, modifying album titles.
After doing a few management tasks on my music items and navigating back and forth between the music library and playlist (changing views), the application stop being responsive and according to the log, the app just plainly crashes.
Sometimes I can restart successfully but most of the times, I need to stop the itunes service or log-out before I can restart it successfully.
I am using itunes64bit 8.0.2
I am running it on a machine equipped with 4GB of ram and the library lives on a 500GB external hard drive plugged-in through USB 2.0.

How Can we improve the report performance..?

Hi exports,
I am learning the Business Objects XIR2, Please let me know How Can we improve the report performance..?
Please give the answer in detailed way.

First find out why your report is performing slowly. Then fix it.
That sounds silly, but there's really no single-path process for improving report performance. You might find issues with the report. With the network. With the universe. With the database. With the database design. With the query definition. With report variables. With the ETL. Once you figure out where the problem is, then you start fixing it. Fixing one problem may very well reveal another. I spent two years working on a project where we touched every single aspect of reporting (from data collection through ETL and all the way to report delivery) at some point or another.
I feel like your question is a bit broad (meaning too generic) to address as you have phrased it. Even some of the suggestions already given...
Array fetch size - this determines the number of rows fetched at a single pass. You really don't need to modify this unless your network is giving issues. I have seen folks suggest setting this to one (which results in a lot of network requests) or 500 (which results in fewer requests but they're much MUCH larger). Does either improve performance? They might, or they might make it worse. Without understanding how your network traffic is managed it's hard to say.
Shortcut joins? Sure, they can help, as long as they are appropriate. [Many times they are not.|http://www.dagira.com/2010/05/27/everything-about-shortcut-joins/]
And I could go on and on. The bottom line is that performance tuning doesn't typically fall into a "cookie cutter" approach. It would be better to have a specific question.
