IMac performance slow again after installing memory
Hi,
I installed an extra 4g of ram in my iMac about 4 weeks ago (so now has 8g). Initiallly, it was super fast and very smooth. A couple of weeks on, performance has slipped. It feels as it did prior to installing. For example, I was running Logic files and getting Core Audio overload messages. After extra ram no more issues but in the last couple of weeks they've come back again. Screen sharing is now back to being jerky. Any ideas??

I am at a loss. even after reading other questions and responses. After upgrading to Mt. Lion, everything on my iMac slowed down. I knew more memory would be needed, so I went from 2G to 6G. That worked for awhile, but now, about 3 weeks later, things are slowing down again. Mail is especially slow, when moving from one message to another, and also just plain typing is delayed in mail. iPhoto has had the spinning wheel issue since change to Mt. Lion, but it eventually stops and the app itself is functional, so this is just annoying as much as anything.
Any easy, simple to follow instructions would be appreciated. Is it better for a novice to take to the Genius Bar or to an approved Mac repair center in my area, rather than attempt some of the solutions I've seen offered here. And, if I do, what's the likelihood the issues will be resolvable?? Clearly, I am not the only one with this issue ...
Thanks for any help you can offer.There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
Syncing with iTunes slow again, after installing iTunes 8.1.0.52
Hi. I once experienced really slow backups (during Syncing), which I think was fixed by updating my iPhone 3G's firmware. I have not had a slow backup for a long time.
I now have the lastest firmware version (2.2.1, just checked for updates through iTunes), and I recently upgraded iTunes to the latest version, 8.1.0.52.
Since upgrading iTunes to 8.1.0.52, the backup suddenly started taking a very long time again (over 30 minutes), and sometimes it seems like it will never end so I cancel it.
I tried doing "Run Diagnostics..." in iTunes, and it ran through reasonably quickly, and then reported that everything was OK, which it isn't.
Is this a known issue with 2.2.1 and 8.1.0.52?
Or, is there some way that I can "debug" what is making my backup take so long?same thing here after updating iTunes. 5(!) hours....

Slow down after installing Lion OS
My Macbook pro later than 2009 model slowed down after installing the new OS Lion
any suggestions to speed it upFirst suggestion ,there have been a number of identical user questions like yours, in the Lion Community. If you want to talk to other MacBook Pro owners, try the forum they have.
http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
What you do not need is some gizmo to "speed up" or clean caches etc.
Maybe you need to make more room on your hard drive, or add more RAM.
For now, hold down Command-R and run Disk Utility to check the health of your system drive (Lion Recovery Mode)

Slow operations after installing Mavericks
Slow operations after installing Mavericks. How can this be changed to faster operations?
jlgapple,
whenever a new version of OS X is installed, Spotlight will spend some time reïndexing the boot disk to update its metadata on the updated files in OS X. If Spotlight has finished its reïndexing, have you ensured that all of your third-party apps, plug-ins, kernel extensions, &c. are compatible with Mavericks? -
Very slow boot after installing 10.10.3
insanely slow boot after installing 10.10.3, it takes 10times longer compare to 10.10.2, using MBA 2014
Open System Preferences, select Startup Disk, and make sure your internal drive is selected as the startup disk. Then click restart!
This worked for me, personally with the same issue.
Good luck! -
facetime stops working after installing mavericks. After login it says: check internet connection and try again. My internet connections are ok, I have both wifi and lan.
Please describe in detail what happened when you took all the applicable steps in the support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem.

2009 iMac is running slowly after installing Yosemite
Dear Community -
I recently "upgraded" my OS to Yosemite ... unfortunately I had not gone to Mavericks in the meantime, so there's no way for me to re-install it.
Any suggestions for how to rescue my iMac from being a brick?
EtreCheck report is below ...
Thanks!

EVERYTHING - Safari, QuickTime, MS Word for Apple, the DVD Player, everything - runs slowly and I get the "rainbow pinwheel of frustration". It's taken me three minutes to type these few sentences. It's really starting to frustrate me. Here is my EtreCheck report:

Since I installed the latest Yosemite update (10.10.2), EVERYTHING runs slowly. I get the rainbow pinwheel whenever I click on anything on Safari, and have trouble typing via Safari; videos stop and start on QuickTime; MS Word for Apple runs slowly - EVERYTHING seems to be slowed down. It took four minutes to get the above sentences typed. Please help me escape the “rainbow pinwheel of failure”!

10.5.3 - HELP - iMac 2.8C2D - Frozen after install
after installing update and restarting..iMac is stuck on start-up logo screen.
will only turn off and turn back on to logo screen.
any help would be appreciated.
NEW INFO: after about 10min..it restarts but again only back to logo screen
Message was edited by: joerivers
Message was edited by: joeriversHere is what I think I discovered after futzing around for 6 hours. I am booting an intel iMac off of a firewire drive and had the same thing happen.
I tried everything possible including what has been suggested here and on every other thread. I could boot into safe mode.
As a last resort, I decided to do an archive and install of a fresh system. To my surprise the install program would not let me install on my firewire boot drive. The message I got was that the disk would have to be reformatted to the GUID partition scheme. The disk was using the pre-intel apple partition scheme. A repartition was not an option as I would lose all data and settings.
I had a second firewire drive available and formatted it to use the GUID partition scheme and then used super duper to copy the contents of my non-booting drive to the one with the GUID partition scheme. When I rebooted the new drive, the system came right up and all my applications seemed to work.
I can only surmise the the 10.5.3 update doesn't like the old apple partition scheme.
I hope this is of help to someone out there. -
Can i install mac osx back again after installing windows 7 on my mac book a1181?
i have apple mac book a1181 white, but i had problem logging on as it was secured by a password, and i allready lost my recovery dvd, so i installed windows 7 on my mac book a1181 by deleting its partition from GTP to NTFS but i experienced problems after installing windows 7 as sound was not comming as i could not find sound drivers for macintosh, so now i plan again to restore my apple macbook a1181 back by reinstalling mac osx 10.5.8, how can i again install mac osx on my notebook and is it possible to re-install mac on my notebook? please give me some help.
Insert your OS X install disc and restart holding the C key, hold it down until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Choose your language and at the next screen from the top menu bar select Utilities-Disk Utility. Select your internal hard drive, click on the Partition tab and select 1 partition. Click on the Options button and select GUID partition scheme. Click OK. Choose to format the drive as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When Disk Utility is done and your drive is properly partitioned and formatted quit DU and go back to the installer screen and reinstall OS X. When you're up and running run software update a couple times to get everything up to date as far as you can with 10.5.8. Then consider upgrading to OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard for $19.99 here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Slowing up after installing Lion OSX
Since I got Lion OSX, my mac has been really slow to start up. When I bought my Macbook, One thing I was really surprised over was how fast it was to start up, like within 10 sec. it was ready to use, but now, especially after installing Lion OSX, it take more than 1 min. What can I do, to make it start up faster?
Thank you for your help
- TarekMaybe you are running some system tool that is incompatible with Lion. Double check your Startup Items, and compare with this page here:

IMac won't restart after installing OS X 10.6
All I get after installing Mac OSX 10.6 Lion, is a spinning wheel of death. What is going on that it won't restart properly?
Nevermind, I have found a work around. Have to start in "safe mode" then the Setup Assistant will launch properly and the Software Update also works properly.
On to Lion & 10.8!
