Ical running VERY slowly with 4 years of appointments

Ical version 2.0.5 is running VERY slowly. PowerbookG4 10.4.11. Also won't upload new data from my iphone. Itunes version 7.5. I have already reset the phone x2, and would like another way to resolving the syncing issue. Wondering if corrupt data might be contributing to the problem. HELP! I need my calendars efficient and syncing. Christine

Apple's growing too fast. They seem to be forgetting what got them here. The design and performance standards they set are beginning to fall. I bought an Apple two button mouse that clogs and works about half the time. Something I touch all day, every day works half the time. I've got iDisk and it intermittent at best. It syncs on about half my Macs I own, the other half the sync arrows spin constantly and never seem to be up to date. iCal is totally screwed up and, as I've noted in this thread, crashes my iTunes. My whole idea of moving into iCal, buying an iPhone is just out the window (pardon the pun).
I'm a Mac guy since 1987. All my work is on Mac, I stopped editing on Avid and switched to Mac, I write reviews and have always loved Mac gear. My reviews have been quoted on the Mac site. Now, the guy who has an Apple tattoo is forced to look into non-Mac products. I can no longer rely on the rock solid performance that's kept me in the fold and I can't let my business be based on a unsupported software. A calendar!!! How can a calendar be this screwed up? I swear, I wrote a better calendar program in Hypercard! Apple, you've got to get your eye back on the ball before it's too late!

  • Ical runs very slowly

    iCal 3.0.7, MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.7 — Recently iCal runs very slowly, like 20 to 30 times slower than it used to. Can get coffee and donut from downstairs before it will change to another month, enter an event, etc. Ran disk repair and permissions repair, but it still runs slowly. Is there a way to reinstall iCal or some other way to get it running as fast as it used to?

    Jon,
    Try moving the "Calendar Cache" file to your Desktop. Quit iCal, and find the "Calendar Cache" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars. Move that file to your Desktop, and log out/in or restart.
    If that is unsuccessful, "refresh" the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
    Are you syncing any data? If so, what method(s) are you using?
    ;~)

    How much free disk space do you have and how much memory do you have, running which operating system? Need that information to have any basis to make recommendations.

  • My iCal runs very slowly. Is there a way to delete past events quickly without having to delete each event individually?

    Ever since my new Mac OS update, my calendar runs very slowly, sometimes freezing. What shall I do? Could it be that past events are slowing it down? If so, how can I remove them easily without having to scroll through everything and press delete?

    What settings have you in Preferences/Advanced delete events after they have passed?

  • Microsoft Word running VERY slowly with mid-sized document

    About three days ago, Word started running very, very slowly—it seems to take letters forever to appear on the screen after I've typed them—sometimes I type even two or three words before any letters appear—I'll click somewhere on the screen and the cursor takes forever to appear.  But this isn't happening in every Word doc; just one that's about 700 KB (268 pages).  This isn't happening in other applications.  I've worked on much larger documents in the past with no slow-down.
    I'm running Word 14.4.4 on an 11" MacBook Air with OS 10.9.5.
    I've restarted, repaired the disk permissions, and repaired the disk, but no dice.  Closing other applications doesn't do anything; neither does making sure only one Word document is open.
    Any thoughts about other things I can try?
    Thanks, guys and gals.

    I don't own a 7D, but I had someone send me a couple of files to test. one thing that struck me was the size of the RAW files: my 8MP 20D made 8MB files, my 12MP 5D makes 12MB files BUT the 18MP 7D files are 24MB.
    So if your 30D follows the pattern of the 20D, the 7D files are three times as large as the 30D files. With your near minimum requirements set up, it may be that you just don't have the processing power for 24MB RAW files.
    My set up (see below) handled the 7D files almost as well as files from my 5D, but I only had two to work with.

  • My iPod Touch 4 responds and runs VERY slowly, it is probably not even a year old, is restoring it the only option?

    My iPod runs VERY slowly, I preordered it when the first white iPods came out. Even typing here it can't keep up, I know if you have less than 6 GB left on your memory it supposedly runs slowly so I deleted stuff and have 13 GB left, I also always close my apps every few hours and my apps always shut down unexpectedly or even before the app can get to the main screen. I do not want to but a new one at all and my dad suggests restoring it and putting it to its original settings but I'm afraid I'll lose my smurfs village and tiny tower. So is restoring your iPod the only way to improve the speed or are there other things?

    Try backing up the iPod and then restoring friom backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iTunes backup make sure that all you synced media like apps and music are in your iTunes library since synced media is not in the backup. You iPod will be like it was, included app data like saved games, when the backup was made.

  • I have a MacBook  late 2008 with OS X Lion 10.7.5 that is running very slowly for the last month

    My MacBook is running very slowly.  It takes an extremely long time to load an application, to respond to a command, and to quit an application. This has developed over the last month or so.  Should I take to Apple Store?  A friend suggested that I may need more RAM.

    If you have 2GB of memory, that is the minimum required for OS X 10.7 Lion, however, many have found it needs 4GB+ to run reasonably well. Click on the apple on the left of the menu bar, then about this mac, to see how much memory you have.
    To confirm if more memory will help, from Launchpad and utilities, load the Activity Monitor. Look at the system memory tab, specifically at page ins and page outs. If page outs is 10%-15% or more of page-ins, you can use more memory for what you run. When the system is low on memory OS X will write the contents of memory to the hard drive to make room for something else to run. Too much of this can impact performance. If you need more memory OWC and Crucial are both quality sources.
    Also check your free hard drive space. Generally, you want 10% or more of the capacity to be free for systems usage. If free space gets too low, system performance will also be impacted.

  • Mac is running very slowly.

    Hi Apple Community,
    My mac has been running very slowly, and there has been several other problems as well. I have a early 2009 iMac, running OS X 10.9.5. First of all, I have recently moved all of my photos and music to an external hard drive to clear up the internal hard drive, and Time Machine is also backing up to an external hard drive, and the internal hard drive is now about 60% free. I thought that would be able to get my Mac to run quicker, but it is still has slow as it was before. I have read recent community posts on what to do about this, one suggested downloading Etresoft to get a report on the condition of my mac. I ran Etresoft (I honestly don't know what to make of anything in the report), and the report is here:
    Problem description:
    Mac runs very slowly, applications will take longer than usual to open. Internal hard drive is about 60% full, and 3 external hard drives are used to hold photos, music, and backups.

    So if someone could please explain what this means, or suggest some other ways to find out what is wrong with my Mac, it would be extremely helpful.
    Thanks
    Morgan

    You need to uninstall all Norton Antivirus softwarwe/ utilities.
    https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080427024142EN_En dUserProfile_en_us
    Also, uninstall all Seagate hard drive software.
    In addition, you need to install more RAM into your iMac.
    Your year and model IMac can take a max. total of 8 GBs of RAM.
    I strongly recommend that you purchase and install the maximum amount of RAM.
    Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).

  • My MacBook Pro is running very slowly! Please help!

    Hi all, as of late last year my MacBook Pro started running very slowly. As I'm a novice when it comes to computers I thought I'd turn to the interweb for solutions. I've tried a couple of basic things but don't seem to be getting anywhere.I ran the EtreCheck program as it seemed to help others. Would love some help interpreting this...

    Thanks in advance! Mike

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • 2009 macbook running very slow with Yosemite?

    After installing Yosemite there was a big change in performance for all actions on my computer. Start up, basic actions around the desktop and all applications are going considerably slower - slower than they ever have with my computer. I've changed a few of the settings, and that has helped, but it's still ridiculously slow. I haven't downloaded any MacCleaner app or anything. Can anyone help me with this?
    Here's the results I got from EtreCheck:

    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:

    ☞ 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.

  • Macbook running very slowly

    Hello - I have a white Macbook bought three years ago running Mac OS X 10.4.11 with a 2GHz processor and 1GB SDRAM.
    I've been very happy with my purchase and use it mainly for word processing, internet, watching DVDs and email use.
    Recently, for no apparant reason, it suddenly began to run very slowly - and I mean slow. It can take 10-15 minutes to open an application.
    I have not installed any software or, as far as I know, visited any dodgy websites.
    Following some advice from Apple forums I looked at the activity monitor in the utilities folder and this is what I found:
    CPU is around 2% used by the user and 2% used by the system with about 96% idle.
    System memory is 183MB wired, 184MB active, 255MB inactive, 623MG used.
    Disk usage: space utilised 68MB, space free 5.37MB.
    Again following advice from Apple forums I created a new user, logged out and logged in again as the new user and the Mac works fine - very quick liked it used to be.
    I assume this indicates that the problem isn't with the computer hardware, but with my original user account?
    I've tried starting the Mac while holding the Option key down. It seemed to help for a bit and then slowed down again.
    I have two CD disks that came with the original documentation - Mac OS X Install Discs 1 and 2.
    My question is this - is there any way I can fix the original user account so it runs properly again?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Many thanks to Michael for pointing me in the right direction.
    I've made some progress on this and thought it might be useful to detail what I did here in case it proves useful to anyone experiencing the same problems.
    Prompted by Michael's suggestion that the hard drive was struggling to cope through lack of space I carried out a thorough spring clean of my files, deleting any that I didn't need any more.
    Because the machine was responding so slowly this was a laborious process. It may be worth noting that image, sound and video files are big memory eaters.
    I also cleared out the trash.
    Then I cleared out the library>cache.
    I then started the laptop up in safe mode (holding down the shift key after the start-up tone), which also apparantly deletes some unwanted files.
    I then started the machine up normally. Much better, much faster. According to the Activity Monitor the space free on the desk has gone from 5.37MB to about 7.5MB.
    What to do next? Some disk maintenance my be in order.
    Michael suggests Drive Genius, but as far as I can tell this is only available for more recent operating systems that the one I have on my laptop.
    Others have suggested OnyX which is free, but this also appears to be for OS X 6 or later.
    I haven't to find suitable versions of these yet, so can't comment on their effectiveness.
    But now at least I have a functioning laptop
    Thanks

  • My MacBook Air is running very slowly and has difficulty staying connected to wifi networks.

    Problem description:
    My mac is running very slowly and I have difficulty staying connected to wifi networks. I have only used half of my hard drive. My computer was purchased in Canada, where I used it for over a year but now I am living in the US.
