IMac slow

Since I changed the video card after a failure, my iMac (24" early 2008) is running slow and it can't dowload properly (very slow and stop before ending). Can't even download the last Apple update. There is no problem with internet connection and I contacted my internet provider to be sure. Do you have any idea of the problem? Thank you.

Have you tried running the HARDWARE DIAGNOSTICS dvd that came with your computer? If there is any problem with one of the internal components, the diagnostics software should let you know.

In addition to abrody's questions, have you downloaded non-Apple software that may be automatically loading, and perhaps not Lion-compatible? Go to System Preferences, users, and look at login items under your user ID. This is easy to check ... do a safe boot by holding the shift key down when you boot. The boot itself may take longer than normal, but once the boot finishes, if the performance is what you'd consider normal, look to your login items. Also, while looking at System Preferences, look at any programs noted at the bottom of the window.

Did a clean install but still find imac slows significantly as the day goes on. first projects go pretty well. later

did a clean install but still find the imac slows as the hours pass. using photoshop cs5 and lightroom3,
working w/some large files, but previously-like months ago, there was not this slowing problem. even
the internet slows later in the day. and small moves in a program start to take forever. anyone experience this
issue? or have any thoughts on it? thank you

How much free space do you have on your drive?
From the sounds of your problem is sounds like you are approaching a full disk.

Have the following iMac at home and am contemplating adding a MacBook Air and a 2TB Airport Time Capsule for backup/storage and increased WiFi speeds. My question is this (1) a compatible setup, and (2) will my older iMac slow down the WiFi speeds? Man

Have an older iMac and am contemplating adding a new MacBook Air and a 2TB Airport Time Capsule to increase WiFi speeds. My question is (a) is this a compatable setup and (b) will the older iMac slow the WiFi speeds?
Thanks

Be careful about mixing Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's disk. That will cause conflicts, sooner or later. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.

Imac slows dow to almost a totatal stop

My iMac slows down working 48 hours without restart to almost non responsive. I can not even quit the open applications unless I force quit. After restart everything goes back to normal. I don't have to many applications open when I work, that's why its really confusing, why this is happening.

I would suspect 3 things.
You are low on RAM
Your Hard Drive is low on space
Your Hard Drive is in the early stages of failing
For the first two go to Applications > Utility > Activity Monitor, now check both System Memory and Disk Usage. > http://mac.appstorm.net/how-to/os-x/making-the-most-of-activity-monitor/
For the last one, run the Extended Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509

HT1750 My iMac slowed down, then word and PowerPoint wouldn't work, then I tried to switch users and shut it down with the button on the left back and now the whole screen is white and it is frozen and dead. Please help!

iMac slowed down, PowerPoint and word wouldn't work, I tried to switch users then shut it down and now it is frozen with a white screen. Help please!

From the way you are describing it, it sounds like the HD has failed. Please look over Gray screen appears during startup for troubleshooting steps. You can also run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode, it may take 2-3 passes for any error codes to appear and each pass takes approximately 30-60 minutes. However either way you should plan on taking it into an Apple Store or AASP for service.

I Fixed my iMac slow internet connection

I will share with you how I fixed my iMac slow internet connection and frequently lost connection. At first, I thought it was the Airport but then it wasn't the case. I also had a Dell laptop in the same basement and it was running as fast as I expected. Here are the steps:
1/ Open Airport link on the top right window > Open Network Preferences
2/
Click + to create new Network Name and Security, I chose WPA personal - less security than the WPA2- that is why it runs faster.
3/ Go mack to step 1 and select your new network name > Apply.
May iMac is now connecting to internet as fast as I would expected.
Good luck

My iMac internet connection is not faster but as fast as it used to be. I was using WPA2 and it was really good for a year and then I got disconnected or very slow. So I created the new network bearing the same old name but use WPA and did not delete the old one, some how everything is back to normal.

Imac slow and Freezes PLEASE HELP!

Hello i have and imac G5 i bought it in about june of 2005...
It was running very slow and always freezing and then i upgraded the RAM to 1gb
and it started working much better. then i upgraded to OS Leopard andalso pro tools LE 7.4
and since then has been performing slow and freezing all the time. ai recently added another gig of RAM just to see if that was the problem , but it seems to be working just as slow. Does anybody know what it might be. Its a 1.6 GHZ power PC G5 and has a 80GB HD and have about 20 GB free so i dont think thats it. Please let me know if any of you have had this problem or know how to fix it thanks

IMac - Slow load and wifi problems

I have lion installed on my macbook pro and on my iMac. My macbook pro works GREAT...no problems. My iMac - I am ready to toss out a window. Here are the problems:
INCREDIBLY slow boot up time - 5-10 minutes from off - 5-8 minutes from sleep
The hard drive is constantly working. I can have nothing open and it sounds like the hard drive is constantly spinning
Half the time my wifi hardware is not found on boot up and I have to reboot with slow load times - sometimes taking 20 minutes before I can get logged in to a 'working' computer
A lot of my programs have become slow. Safari can be slow responsive but others that are not apple that have done 'lion updates'
I have my activity monitor running and nothing seems to be hogging resources. My iMac specs are:
2.8 intel core i5
12 gb ram
2 TB hard drive with about 1tb free
I ran the lion update that came out and it did not seem to do much for me.
Anyone have a solution? Anyone tried a clean format and did this work? Lion works great on my laptop and I just need it to work on my main computer as well.
Reba

i think part of the boot up time issue is the amount of windows you happen to have open when you put it to sleep
other is lion upgrade slows it down due to this auto save function
my wifi is also spotty and acts like it can't find itself at times
and this is a brand new imac

IMac - slow to boot, bluetooth not found.

System:
iMac 24" (Early 2009) 2.66GHz
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory (upgraded from original 4GB with 3rd party memory about 4 years ago)
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB Disk (upgraded from original 640GB about 2 years ago)
NVIDIA GeForge 9400
OS X: 10.10.1
The issue began about 3 months ago when my mother-in-law had the machine. According to her, the machine became very slow to boot (taking from 20min to over 1 hour) and her wireless mouse was not working. Fortunately she was already using a wired keyboard and had a spare wired mouse, so she was able to use the machine. Other than the slow boot and mouse issue, the system was stable. We decided to replace her machine in any case, primarily because it's not easily serviceable - especially where she lives (rural Alabama). I took the machine back (it had been mine originally). At that point it was running 10.8.5.
I observed the following:
1) The system was, indeed, very slow to boot as she described.
2) None of the bluetooth devices were working.
3) The bluetooth device shows as "No information found" in the System Information report
4) Bluetooth preferences were not visible in system preferences.
5) Coincident with her first report or problems, the following messages began appearing in the system logs:
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.195    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 3 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing clearing port feature (1)
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.195    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 1 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing clearing port feature (1)
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.206    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 2 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002ed while doing getting port status (4)
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.206    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 2 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing clearing port feature (2)
Though she originally had external peripherals attached, all have been removed - the only things plugged into any USB or Firewire port are the keyboard and mouse.
So, that's how the machine was when I got it back... I have tried the following:
1) First I tried AHT - booting from the original disks provided with the system (AHT version 3A170). AHT hung while probing system hardware; it just stalled for several hours (I think I let it try overnight, only to return to see no progress). I've tried AHT a couple of times through this ordeal and can never get to the point where I can even initiate the test.
2) I tried removing the bluetooth preferences file.
3) I tried resetting NVRAM
4) I tried resetting SMC
5) I've booted in verbose mode, but nothing really stood out as clearly (or even vaguely) indicating a problem.
People did suggest booting in "safe" mode - thought it was never clear what I was supposed to do after that. In any case, an attempt to boot in safe mode caused the machine to just reboot itself. I even set safe mode in the boot-args and sat back and watched as the machine consistently rebooted itself each time... about 7 or 8 times before I got sick of hearing the boot chime. I did have verbose mode turned on in boot-args as well, an each time it rebooted at the same point, while initializing drivers. Interestingly, booting in "normal" mode has never been an issue - save for the exceptional amount of time it takes.
Since the data on the disk was of no use to me, I created a 10.10.1 install package on a USB stick and installed fresh - verifying and reformatting the hard drive before performing the install. The installation was uneventful (i.e. worked just like it should).
So, now I am running 10.10.1 and still no Bluetooth. I tried the AHT again and again it gets hung probing the hardware and I can't even initiate the test. I even tried a suggestion from another thread (hold ctl-shift-option and the power button for about 6 sec while the power is off)... that had worked for a number of folks but not for me.
One other piece of info I just confirmed while writing this, 0x6100000 is the Location ID associated with the BRCM2046 Hub - i.e. the Bluetooth device. Why this shows up as a hub on the USB Bus but the device itself doesn't appear to exist is confusing. I certainly would expect to see this as a USB hub on a correctly functioning system, it's just confusing why it's there when the underlying bluetooth device is not recognized.
So, I am pretty much convinced it's a hardware issue of some kind - given this is a "spare" Mac that I was simply trying to re-purpose to host a film scanner that requires a FireWire interface, I am not sure how much I want to invest financially in getting this resolved. I have heard that Apple no longer services these machines, but I could be wrong... As I see it my options are kind of limited:
1) Take it to a repair facility (even if Apple doesn't work on them, there are at least 2 places near by that do) and pay them $$ just to tell me that it's going to be $$$ fix it.
2) Get my hands dirty, open this thing up and see if I can fix it.
I'm leaning towards option 2, but I am really reluctant to go on a fishing expedition. Based on what I have observed, it seems to be a problem with the bluetooth module itself, and as I understand it that is a separate part from the main logic board... which means that I can replace it for about $35 and the cost of the right tools; which all together total about the same amount as the "diagnostic" fee any local repair shop would charge. If it's not that, then it's the logic board and the best price I can find for that puts it in the "not worth the trouble" category anyway. I don't want to rule out some other component - memory, disk drive, or power supply... but any of those, at least to me, seem like the kind of components which would cause more erratic behavior when they fail.
So, what's my question - simple ... have I missed something here. Before I perform open heart surgery are there any last tricks I can try or is my conclusion that this must be a hardware problem pretty solid?

New iMac slower after upgrade to Yosemite...

I recently (2-3 months ago) purchased a 21.5 inch iMac, with the following specs:
Mavericks OS X
1 GB Fusion HD (The HD contains approx. 500 GB of data, i.e. +/- a little over half full)
3.1 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB DDR3
I use the BlueTooth keyboard, trackpad and mouse.
Connected to it, via a Lightning cable, is a 4 TB external HD for my media and vast iTunes library.
I also use Bose external speakers.
I run Parallels 9, (fully updated) to be able to access and run certain business related programmes, that I absolutely cannot run on an Apple, specifically, Airbus CBT (computer based training) courses.
I was immensely happy with the machine. It was fast, the graphics are awesome and it was a pleasure to work with. Frankly, it runs Windows 7 in parallel, faster than any PC I've ever seen, but I honestly only use it when I absolutely have to!
When Yosemite became available, I immediately upgraded to it, as was the plan from the beginning. The upgrade went without a hitch, save to say, there was a short power interruption during the download. I followed the instructions and installed the new OS, and commenced using it. I immediately noticed that upon switching between applications and programmes, there was a several second delay between clicking or selecting the app, thereafter the colour "thinking wheel" would appear for several more seconds and only then would the selected task or operation happen, allowing further selections or options to be made. This is a very noticeable and annoying delay, sometimes as much as 10 seconds, that did not occur whilst using Mavericks.
Even within certain apps or programmes, for example, mail, there are these same delayed responses. For example - if I click on the reply tab, there is a 3 to 4 second delay, followed by the coloured wheel for another 3 to 4 seconds, before the reply mail appears and I'm able to continue. So too, in iTunes, if I select a different track, or move between movies and music, there is this seemingly incessant delay between selections and activity. Granted, I have a vast media collection on an external drive, but it is via a Lightning connection. I don't remember USB connections being as slow...
I spent several minutes yesterday, on the phone to an Apple Care specialist in Europe, discussing another problem with my MacBook Pro, and when I mentioned this, he suggested several things to try - forcing Spotlight to re-index the drive, etc, and even he at this early time, was able to find where in Yosemite you can see if this process, (re-indexing) is being carried out - but nothing seems to have improved anything.
Am I being unreasonable in expecting it all to run as smoothly and as quickly as it used to? Should I have waited before upgrading my machine? Did I do anything wrong or can you suggest anything that might restore my pride and joy to it's original lightning fast like behaviour?
Cheers and thanks in advance for any help or recommendations you might have.

IMac slows down wifi/LAN cable connection

Hello,
I came across a quiet unique and annoying problem, that I have not seen being discussed so far.
I spend the last 3 weeks trying to solve my internet/wifi connection following all kinds of posts here.
Problem: Wifi/Lan internet connection is slow (less than 0.8mbit/s)
Problem only appears when I login with an iMac via wifi OR lag cable
iMac, 2011 27`` Mac OS 10.7.5
Background:
I have a 20mbit/s internet connection with my provider. works fine on iPad, iPhone, appleTV HTC one mini, etc… BUT as soon, as I login with my iMac, the internet connection slows down to less than 1 mbit/s
I have tried following solutions:
- live box (router) was exchanged and is brand new
- security settings on router changes (wpa2 etc)
- all channels on router tested from 1-13
- keychain saved passwords for Wifi and router deleted, PRAM reset
- renewed lease of connected devices (no IP conflict)
- shut down wifi on iMac - connection with all devices great, as soon as i switch wifi on, all devices lose their high speed connection and go down to less than 1mbit/s
- connected iMac via LAN cable: same problem, all speed is lost
- iMac is not in the network - speed is great
- connected iMac via time capsule wifi, same problem. connected iMac via netgear extender, same problem
also, if I open network preferences and start the "assist me" app and run diagnostics, all dots are green except the ISP and server, bit most of the time they switch to green immediately, but connection is still slow.
Reception bar is on "3", so signal strength is no problem, and I´d like to emphasize that this is also happening on LAN cable. and again, if the iMac is disconnected from wifi AND / OR LAN, all other devices work fine.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks!

Although I have been on Mac OS for a while now, I have never had to troubleshoot faulty network in the mac itself.
OSX does apparently have a safe mode boot..
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Try that.. as that gives you the same thing as windows with all the extras left out, so you get a basic operating system only and you can see if the problem still exists.. if it does.. I would simply bite the bullet.. wipe the Mac.. reinstall the OS and then carefully reinstall your applications from original disks/downloads and move your operating files back .. but start a different user on the computer and copy back the min you need to get working again.
If the problem still happens even in safe mode boot then do a hardware test.. because it is possible something has actually failed at the hardware level.

IMac, slower FTP uploads than XP machine on same network

I had previously been working on a Dell desktop, and a major part of my job is uploading 3-5GB files via FTP to another server. I used Filezilla for the most part.
I recently bought an iMac, and installed the same program, Filezilla, the OSX version, and proceeded to upload one of these files. I noticed that after a little bit, it was getting 35-43 kbps.
My XP computer is still plugged in to the same router, so I tried uploading the same file to the same FTP server, via the same program, and got 75-90 kbps uploading time. Obviously, that's twice as fast, and therefore an upload that would take 24 hours on my old machine, takes 2 days on my new machine. Same ISP, same router, etc. I did a speed test on both machines, and 768 kbps upload responses on both.
Is there anything I can do about this? I have roadrunner cable broadband in New York City, if that helps. I couldn't find DNS information for it, to plug into my ethernet settings, but I did change them from automatic to manual, according to some posts I saw regarding this specific problem, which others have experienced. I'm not all that savvy about router settings, which, as I said, worked much better with XP.
Any ideas? Thank you.

You might try another FTP program, such as Fetch, to see if the Mozilla program is slow on Mac OS X for some reason.

Too much RAM in my iMac slowing iit down?

I've scoured the internet for an answer to this problem and found nohing. So here goes...
Hardware
24" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz (Early 2008 - iMa8,1) 8Gb's Ram
OS 10.6.5
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1759 Apple states that the maximum amount of RAM I can install is 4Gb (2 in each slot), that is what I had installed until yesterday.
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-3.06-24-inch-al uminum-early-2008-penryn-specs.html"] Everymac's website states Apple officially supports 4 GB of RAM, but third-parties have been able to upgrade the system to 6 GB of RAM using one 2 GB and one 4 GB memory module.
So I took the risk and purchased 2 sticks of 4Gb from Crucial http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT51264AC800. In System Profiler 8Gbs is recognised and in Activity monitor, the Mac works fine for about 10 minutes with loads of apps open and has loads of free Ram and then everything starts getting sluggish, spinning beachball, non responsive mouse clicks.
I've tested both 4Gb sticks individually and they seem to work fine on their own(that's how I've got it running now).
Has anyone else out there tested 8Gb in this model, or has anyone an answer as to why 8Gb shows up in the system but seems to slow it down, but apparently if I put in 4 + 2Gb sticks it should work?
Thanks

Theoretically couldn't Apple update the firmware on the iMac to utilise the 8GBs?
It's not a firmware issue it's hardware.

IMac slow
