HT1379 My computer I-mac is running super slow.  If I zap the PRAM it goes back to running well , briefly... a few hours, then back to super slow.  What is the resolution for this problem?  I have a Time machine that does back up well.

My computer is running super slow.  I can correct the problem briefly by zapping the PRAM but is resumes as a problem after a few hours.  I have good time machine (capusle) backup daily.  I have done a disk verify and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong there.
Help, this is wasting a lot of time to do simple functions.

Hard to say what's going wrong without more information. Try the troubleshooting steps in my Mac Performance Guide. Post back if you need help with any of that or questions about the results.

  • I've searched to no avail for this problem. Similar posts but none that tell me what to do. I can't add or delete any bookmarks on my iPad 2 running the newest iOS. I know how it's suppose to work, it just isn't working!

    It started after the major update to iOS 7.
    I can't believe that this is so hard to do. It's just not letting me. I can add a bookmark to the home screen just fine, just not in a bookmarks folder anywhere I try.
    I've used Apple products since 2001 and have always loved how intuitive they are. But the Safari browser since iOS 7 has been the worst I've experienced. At least right in the beginning after that update.
    I'd really appreciate any help that doesn't just tell me how it's suppose to work...I know that.
    My iPad 4 is not affected with the problem and works as it should.

  • TS4268 i've backup in itunes with another phone number activation , now i want active with new phone number without losing old backups , what can i do for this problem ?? :(

    i've backup in itunes with another phone number activation , now i want active with new phone number without losing old backups , what can i do for this problem ??

    If I get this right, you've ported your phone number to AT&T with the purchase of the iPhone. That is considered opening your own account under your name. Your brother's account is not ported to AT&T unless you used his SS# instead of yours. Your brother still has his account under Verizon Wireless, all you did was use your cell phone number to when you opened your own AT&T account.
    If you don't want to use your Verizon Wireless phone #, my suggestion is to call AT&T customer service and explain that you want a new phone number instead of the ported Verizon number.

    Well, if you didn't keep it in your iTunes library, on your computer, & then back that data up, you're out of luck if it's no longer available in the App store.

    What operating system version, and do you have any backups of your data off the machine? TimeMachine? Option Key bootable clones? Storage? DVD's?
    A reinstall of the operating system may be in order as a last resort, so if any of these steps on these links get you into the machine, make sure to backup your personal data (Music, Pictures, Documents, Movies) off the machine to a non-encrypted  powered external drive regular storage drive (not TimeMachine as it might be corrupted too) and disconnect as soon as possible.
    Good Luck and report back all what you tried.
    Also report what change occured before this tragedy happened, was there a  Software Update? A EFI firmware update? Etc.

  • I had to reinstall Lion because my computer was non responsive. Now all my stuff (applications, etc) are gone. I have a time machine backup - does that have my applications and if so how do I get them from the backup to my computer? It is power mac 2 x2.8

    It is power mac 2 x2.8 GHz Quad core intel xeon running 10.7.3 - purchased in 2006
    Or how can I transfer the appliucations form my laptop?

    Ok. I have 2 hard drives and one of them died apparently so..not knowing what to do, I did chose reinstall Lion after command r open start-up. The whole thing is a mess but my computer is back up and running with the second hard drive. I had a time machine backup which I've been dragging stuff out of. i had to re enter serial numbers and do all sorts of initial set up stuff. 1) How do I get all of my icons (like my HD icon and external drives icons) to appear on my desktop again? I can only find them through a finder window. 2) i now have to type a password to get into my computer (user) - I 'm the only user and don't want to have to do that.

  • Recover a volume using Time Machine that does not exist anymore

    My virtualized SL server has been mounting a data volume residing on a Buffalo Terastation via iSCSI. For reasons unknown to me I cannot mount this volume any more. However, I have a current backup of this volume in Time Machine.
    My intent is now to create the volume new and empty and to restore Time Machine's respective contents onto this empty volume. How should I go about this?
    Thank you for any feedback.

    If this is an iCloud ID, and if the old ID is yours and your current iCloud ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
