IMac EXTREMELY slow
Recently my iMac has slowed to an absolute crawl, I've noticed this after an update to 10.6.4. Working in in InDesign CS4, I've noticed that files containing graphics with clipping paths (from Photoshop) take forever to redraw on the screen. In order to be able navigate with any kind of efficiency I need to relink those types of graphics to a TIF or JPG, then relink them back to make proof for client.
I've also noticed Finder hanging or freezing while trying to delete files from my server (Windows Server 2008 Standard) which requires a cold reboot. I get the spinning beachball with just about everything I do.
I been through the forums but haven't seen anything as specific as my problem. Adobe CS4 products haven't updated in some time, so I've narrowed to 10.6.4 update. These problems weren't present before that update.
Please advise.
cuadvantage,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sorry to hear about your problem but rest assured it's not 10.6.4, it's stable however when you install any update unless you take a little care sometimes things can go wrong.
You don't mention anything about how you updated or what you have done to troubleshoot so I'm taking some total guesses.
First are some general rules of thumb when doing system updates. Some people may not totally agree with these but I've found my updates go smoothly when I follow this procedure.
1. Prior to updating ALWAYS backup.
2. Prior to updating disconnect all peripherals except the keyboard and mouse
3. Prior to updating run Repair Disk Permissions
4. Download Combo Update (10.6.4 combo is located at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048)
5. After updating run Repair Disk Permissions
6. Run machine for a few minutes to verify everything is OK.
7. Re-Connect peripherals
For now I'd recommend doing a SMC and PRAM reset, please read the SMC instructions carefully as they cover different models of Mac's each with their own processes.
If those don't work then try 1-7 and then get back to us.
Regards,
Roger

uninstall the Intego Virus Barrier,
and, unless you need it, uninstall Teamviewer.
Both will slow down the performance (do a Google search on Teamviewer).
As an aside, you have the minimum of 4 GB of RAM; if your machine allows it, double that to 2 x 4 GB. You and your Mac will be much happier with its performance in general. -
Hello,
I've recently started using After Effects and finding that my imac is EXTREMELY slow when exporting my projects.
Not only is the export slow, but I can't do anything on the computer while the export is running. If a song is playing on itunes at the same time, it will start skipping every few seconds. If I want to bring itunes up or bring up safari (when it's already open) then the beach ball comes up and it takes several minutes for each program to load.
To give you some background on my situation here are my imac's specs:
27" imac, purchased in August 2011.
Running version 10.7.3
Processor: 3.1 Intel Core i5
4GB Ram
2TB harddrive. (1.88 TB available)
Ever since purchasing my imac I had issues with it not functioning very well. I wasn't using after effects at the time, but whenever I had something running on compressor I wasn't able to do anything on the computer. I eventually brought the computer in to the apple store and they replaced both my fans and the logic board. After getting it back I noticed the harddrive was extremely loud and brought it back again. This was about 2 weeks ago and apple replaced my harddrive. So right now my fans, logic board and harddrive are all brand new. Today I started hearing my harddrive again (not as loud as it was before, but I can definitely hear it working).
When After Effects was running, the only other programs running were Mail, Safair and iTunes. A few days ago it was acting up when FCP and After effects were both on at the same time. As well, the After Effects projects I'm working with are not very big. I'm doing VERY basic text-motion on clips 30 seconds long at most.
Any idea what can be causing this? and why is it that I can hear my drive working? If I'm correct I shouldn't be able to hear it...
Thanks!But what can be causing my harddrive to make sounds?
As well, I noticed the computer getting pretty hot recently. Today I wasn't running intensive programs, just watching some shows on Netflix (with itunes and Mail being the only other apps open) and the Imac HD temp was almost at 60 degrees C and the CPU around 50. Is this normal? -
IMac EXTREMELY slow after 10.4.10 software update
Hi All,
I'm having major performance issues with my iMac G5. I ran the 10.4.10 updater via Software Update but after installing, my computer got "stuck" shutting down. After about 25 minutes I had to shut it down via the power button in the back.
Since then it's been running EXTREMELY slow. We're talking about 5 minutes for it to open Safari. I read previous discussion threads and tried downloading the 10.4.10 combo updater, but I receive an error trying to open it after download saying there are "no mountable files."
Can anyone help?Hi Miriam and Barry,
Thank you very much for the quick responses!
I tried downloading the combo updater for both 10.4.10 and 10.4.9 again but when it tries to mount the drive it gives me the same error message for both that says "No mountable file systems."
It looks like the archive and install option may be my next step then yes?
A few questions about this.
- I read the article included in the link. Just to confirm, I purchased a copy of Tiger - I can use that to do this yes? My computer originally came with original OS X.
- Also, will it archive all of my documents and files (i.e. iTunes music and videos, iPhoto pictures, personal docs, etc?) Or will I need to back them all up to an external drive and then import them after the Archive and Install?
- After I complete the Archive and Install and get everything up and running, do I delete the /Previous Systems/Previous System 1 folder? Or do I need to keep that on there?
Let me know your thoughts and thanks again!
Chris -
i've searched around but could not find a solution to what im trying to fix.
i hadn't used my iPad 2 for a couple of weeks but had left it on and in standby mode. when i plugged it into my iMac (which normally charges at a decent speed), absolutely nothing happened. i tried putting it in DFU mode and the "plug into iTunes" picture displayed, but still, absolutely nothing happened on iTunes. i can plug it into the wall outlet with the charger that it came with, but it is horrendously slow to charge (about an entire day to bring the battery level from 40% to 82%). there aren't any official authorized Apple stores around where i live (im stationed in Italy), so bringing it to a store is out of the question. is there something that can be done to fix this solution?There is this page for troubleshooting the iPad and iTunes on a Mac : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
In terms of charging, have you tried a different charger and/or cable ? And you aren't currently using an iPhone or iPod charger with it - the iPad's charger is twice as powerful.
Have you tried a reset to see if it charges properly after it's restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
New iMac extremely slow following migration (Help with Etre Check diagnosis)
Hi gurus,
New iMac - scheduled for genius bar on Friday but trying to avoid the trip. Migrated everything over from 2009 macbook pro to 2011 macbook and now 2013 iMac. I imagine there is a lot of cruft from the repeated migrations and am close to just wiping and migrating from scratch. I don't know, however, how to get my old mail and other critical settings over.
Problem is clearly in the user account. I created a separate admin account and that runs relatively fine. Is the below user account salvageable? Should I delete all my old permissions? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks for the Etrecheck program,

IMac extremely slow after upgrading to OS Lion...suggestions please..
We recently upgraded our iMac to OS Lion from Snow Leopard and it seems like everything now takes twice as long to start. Opening applications, opening documents, switching to another user name, pretty much everything takes forever. I love the operating system, but feel like I am using a 10 year old computer. If anyone here has suggestions on how to speed things up, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have tried logging out all other users to free up some of the memory and that really doesn't help.
I love my Mac, please help....If it is a new installation, spotlight can take forever to do the first indexing. I put my Sleep option in Power preferences to "never" (On mains power that is) and leave the computer lid open / on all night.
There are also other things going on, like, software updates,(both from Apple and third party), maintenance scripts (that run on schedule at night), Backup, iDisk and iCloud syncs (the first uploads can be large), etc.
Once the initial cludge is cleared things get much better. But get that RAM upgrade. Crucial delivered mine within 24 hours of ordering
You'll need a very small screwdriver! -
Dear Apple Support Community.
As mentioned by a number of users reporting the same problem, my 2009 iMac CPU3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, has become extremely slow and repeatedly "out of Memory" since it was migrated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (OS 10.9 then OS 10.9.1).
I have already run CleanMyMac, deleted 5GB of useless stuffs, which did not translate into any improvement. Following the advices collected in other Apple Support Community threads, I have applied EtreCheck the outcome of which is provided below.
For information, I have also upgraded my 2011 MacBook CPU2.3 GHz Core i7, 8GB which became only a bit slower than before, sometimes freezing which it almost never did before. However, I am used to the fact that Mac get usually slower and more prompt fo freeze after upgrading to a more recent OS.
Both my 2009 iMac and my 2011 MacBook have F-Secure installed. So the problem with the 2009 IMac is unlikly to be due to the presence of F-Secure. Interestingly, the few abnormalities found by Etrecheck were exacly identical before I ran CleanMyMac. There are two more findings (mentioned below) since I ran CleanMyMac on the 2009 iMac, which again didn't improve the problem.
So please find below the details of the EtreCheck experience and some additional measurements made with iStat while running EtreCheck:

Please find now some additional measurements collected with iStat while running EtreCheck:
Practically:
The iMac can work slowly with only one software e.g. either Mail or Safari or Firefox, but still the below "out of Memory" message occurs about every 3 minutes.
Aperture has becomre to slow to be useable
If trying to write a mail (with Mail) while Safari or Firefox is open, then the "out of Memory" message occurs about every 20 seconds so I need to check on "Resume" several times per minute.
Conclusions
From the above, unless anyone in the Apple Support Community proves to be able to identify a specific problem leading to a way to find a cure, I tend to conclude that Mavericks is not suitable for computers operating with a Core 2 Duo CPU even with a 8GB of RAM.
Unless I missed something, I did not see any warning from Apple Computer Inc. informing their customers they should refrain from upgrading Core 2 Duo Computers.
The only solution I see so far is to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion. And the Apple Support Community would confirm that it is the only solution, I would appreciate to get your guidance on how to proceed.
Intended action plan
Migrate the above 2009 iMac to a 2014 Mac Mini Server operating on Mavericks to ensure that no data may be lost while downgrading to Montain Lion.
Provided the above downgrading operation is successful, assign this 2009 iMac to partial retirement e.g. Mail, Skype, iTunes and DVD player.
In advance, I would like to thank the Apple Community for helping me either i) finding a cure to the problem, ii) or confirming that Mavericks cannot operate properly on Core 2 Duo computers, iii) and in such a case, guiding me on how to downgrade to Mountain Lion.
Yours sincerely
Core... what anti-virus would you recommend using?
Use what is already included with OS X. It already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind. -
My external HD of 1TB is not being recognized by the iMac and when after a long waiting period it does, the whole computer becomes extremely slow. Do I need any particular add-on to make it workable?
Before I updated to OS X Mavericks I was using another external disk that was getting disconnected ocasionally so I bought a new ADATA HD710 portable 1TB Drive and moved the files to it. This new drive which is supposed to be OS X Mavericks compatible takes minutes to show the files especially when opening second and third level folders which has made mu iMac unusable
What should I do?Your Mac should be able to recognize many different types of drives (including Windows-formatted drives) immediately for Reading, provided they are in good working condition and not damaged. There should be no need to transfer to a different type of drive.
If there is no recognition of this drive, see if it can be seen in Disk Utility.
If your aim is to transfer the data on it DO NOT use ERASE or PARTITION as these will completely erase all the information on the Drive.
If the drive is present while the Mac sleeps, it is likely to drop out and not be seen any longer, especially if it is a USB-powered drive. -
The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?
Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

IMac hard drive extremely slow (but not on BootCamp)
My iMac 20" from late 2006 has suddenly become extremely slow, meaning it read/writes from/to the harddisk at a very slow rate, down to 1 MBps according to Disk Speed Bench X. It's impossible to use the computer now and I haven't done anything special lately to make this happen, except downloading a lot of files lately that took a lot of space (down to 3 GB left on my 250 GB drive), until I deleted them again.
Interestingly, my BootCamp partition with XP Professional is working perfectly.
What is the solution? A new drive? I'm trying to restore it from Time Machine now, but it's taking forever... Oh, and I have used Onyx and repaired all rights, and Disk Tools reports that everything is in perfect order.Ack - sorry. Doing two things at once and I missed that. Still, having gotten down to 2GB and now at 20GB, you may well have developed some fragmentation issues. First, run Disk Utility and make sure there's nothing that needs to be repaired. This might explain the slow down. If it passes, or if you successfully repair the drive, and the disk is still slow, consider defragging the drive. Ordinarily the Mac OS doesn't need it but when your drive becomes very full the Mac's built in defragging methodology doesn't work so well.

Extremely slow transfer rate from iOmega eGo to iMac
I am using a brand new 27" iMac and an iOmega eGo 2TB hard drive (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374133,00.asp). The drive has it's own power source and is connected to my computer via USB.
I'm trying to transfer files from the hard drive to my new iMac and the transfer rate is painfully slow. They are files from my old MacBook which I sold last week.
When the disc is not mounted, it seems to function normally - it's blue indicator light is consistently on and it sounds right. However, when I mount the disc and begin using it - in this instance to transfer files, it goes extremely slow. The blue light will mostly remain off, then interminnently flash on and onscreen a small amount of data will move.
Through disk utility I was able to successfully verify and repair the disc, but it's still behaving this way. Can anyone help?

MacBook connects to Internet fast but iMac is extremely slow
When I bought my new MacBook Intel CoreDuo and connected wirelessly, the connection on my old iMac G5 Intel CoreDuo has become extremely slow. I can't even run software updates on it! My work Windows PC connects superfast to the same wireless router, and after trying many suggestions on the forum's posts, I am getting nowhere near resolving my issue. I can swear I am using the same settings on both Mac's although, as suggested in one of the posts, I have changed the location on my iMac. Please help!
Hi Uzma,
As you mentioned, it works perfectly in Safe mode with Network. It might be caused by some third-party software or service. I would like to suggest you perform a Clean Boot to confirm it:
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Meanwhile, run Internet Explorer 11 in No Add-ons mode by running the Run command from the Start menu, and then typing
iexplore.exe -extoff into the box.
2.Check if the issue persists.
If yes , open Internet Explorer for the desktop, click the Tools menu, and click
Manage Add-ons.
3.Click Toolbars and Extensions, click each toolbar or extension, clicking
Disable to turn off all of the browser extensions and toolbars.
4.Restart Internet Explorer 11. Go back to the Manage Add-Ons window and turn on each item, one-by-one.
After you turn each item back on, see if Internet Explorer crashes or slows down. Doing it this way will help you identify the add-on that's causing Internet Explorer to crash.
After you've figured out which add-on was causing the problem, turn it off until you have an update from the manufacturer.
In addition, loading image and script indeed take more time than blank webpage.
