IMovie HD running extremely slow and generally unstable...
I am using iMovie HD 6.0.3 for video editing in DV format. Up until today it's been running well, but now for some reason it take about 10 minutes to open up my file...no kidding. In the meantime, my computer is useless and the ball just spins. By the time the force quit option appears, it's pretty much stable enough to use. I think it started after iMovie just quit on me and no error report came up earlier today.
I tried deleting the imovie preference file and all other files in the quicktime folders and such. I've also repaired permissions and reinstalled the OS X 10.4.8 update.
I know this is not normal operation since i've been editing this same file for a week now with no problems until today. Is there anything else I can do? I have to present this video in class and since I've been talking up iMovie over Movie Maker, I really need this to work.
Thanks in advance.

Does just one project run slowly? Do others run fine?
If others run fine, the project may be experiencing the "stuttering" problem described in this thread:

My new ipod touch 4g that i just got is running extremely slow and the apps crash alot. I have about 10gb left out of 16 gb. When i got it, it was brand new, and ran like how it is now. I was just wondering if this could be some sort of defect?

Ok so I'm a design student at a community college (about to graduate soon and will be continuing on getting my BFA) I have all of the creative cloud suite. I have Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, etc. Recently I started having problems with all of the programs. Whenever I work in the programs they would run extremely slow. Recently, I tried to save a .eps file that was only about 1.2 GB and it took me an hour to save, and this was when I was working off of my computer desktop. When I place the .eps file in Indesign, everything would go blank and it would freeze up. Also I had an error sign popping up from InDesign saying "out of memory". Im not sure if that is related to my computer's hard drive or indesign itself. I just started using creative suite so the creative suite is pretty new to me. Sometimes in Indesign when I do the Command+w to preview the whole project, it would be completely black and showing nothing and I would hit escape and the whole software screws up. Then I would do a force quit on the software and then Indesign would say there was a serious error and must shut down. That error message has been popping up several times now. I also talked to Apple support and they suggested me doing a Repair disk utility (which I am currently doing right now) and also recommended me contacting Adobe since they know their software. I checked software to see if there is any updates that is needed but everything is up to date. I'm not quite sure why its acting like this so I'm reaching out both to Apple and Adobe to see if both can help me solve the problem. If anybody had experienced this problem before and could help me troubleshoot this issue that would be great.
I installed the creative suite about a year ago, and this just started happening last weekend. I didn't think it would be a problem and that it would last for a day since I was working on InDesign all day and Illustrator and it usually goes away after I finish using the programs. But this has been occurring for about a week now and has not gone away. and yes the other programs are running slow. I was trying to resize some images for a client and Photoshop was acting extremely slow when I was trying to resize the image and also place an image into a 8x10 document in Photoshop. I'm not sure how to find my system specifications.
All design programs running extremely slow and takes forever to save and sometimes shuts down randomly? -

My phone is running extremely slow and eating the battery
I've been experiencing this problem for the past 3 days and went to my provider today to ask about.
My phone has been running extremely slow, the hour clock thing is forever running, and as a result my phone dies in about 3 to 4 hours with no real use. I was told it was because i need to update my OS but when I came home and plugged it in it says that my phone is up-to-date and there is no OS upgrade available. i bought a replacement battery to see if that was the problem and it is not. this is becoming quite frustrating. it has even gotten to the point of when i lock the phone i cant unlock it over even get the screen to turn on. the only way to turn it on is to pull the battery out and put it back in.
What is wrong with my phone?

Everything is just running completely slow and it was not like this. I do not know what to do at all, please help. Thank you.
Your problem has nothing to do with "viruses." DO NOT install any kind of "anti-virus" software.
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
One possible cause of a slow user interface is a large number of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
Otherwise, take these steps 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
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. 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.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
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 a message.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting. -
I am getting a message on the bottom of my computer task bar that says Firefox is using a large amount of the CPU. I noticed that my computer is running extremely slow and in thunderbird it takes a long time to print attachments.
I have another computer and I did not load the upgrade. That computer is working fine. Please helpI too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!! -
Macbook Pro running extremely slow since updating to Yosemite
Hello All,
I am new to the community and I'm hoping your pooled expertise can assist me with my issues. I went ahead and posted the results of my diagnostic scan below. My main concerns are that my Macbook Pro is now extremely slow after OSX updates. Also, laptop is running extremely hot to touch. I have mentioned other ongoing issues. I offer thanks in advance for any assistance.
Problem description:
Macbook Pro 13":
Purchased in mid-2010.
Most Recent Issue (Main Concern):
(1) I recently updated OS X from Mountain Lion to Maverick. Computer began running extremely slow and “jerky.”
(1.1) Shortly after this I updated to OS X Yosemite. Computer runs, and types, even slower than before.
Ongoing Issues (Greater than one year):
(1) Extremely short battery life (may last two hours on full charge)
(2) Macbook runs extremely hot to touch (fan runs continuously but can’t begin to keep it cool)
(3) SD Card reader doesn't recognize/open an SD card when inserted.
Lex Cschellings Requested the Following:
No obvious elements in the list.
This may well be a dying disk and/or a very bad battery.
Do following:
make a new etrecheck list and in the problem description put what Applications->Utilities->SystemInformation says about the battery (under the Power heading in the left panel): give cycle count and battery condition.
Then post the link in a new thread.
In the meantime the crash report is probably a French Dictionary issue (font? garcon garçon) you have installed, uninstall that and see if it happens again.

Macbook Pro 15" Late 2011 - Running Extremely Slow
I've only had my Macbook Pro for about 9 months. Lately it's been running EXTREMELY slow, and freezing up at some times. I have a RAM monitor, and it will sometimes drop below 192MB! I have 4GB installed, and I only run a few light-weight applications, No Final Cut, or Photosop. On a typical day I'll have the following open at once: Safari, Spotify, Minecraft, Mail, Messages
Nothing 4GB can't handle right? I guess not. I don't download from untrusted websites, so I doubt it's a virus. I honestly have no clue. I don't have the Apple Care, and I'm not sure if this is covered in the 1yr limited warranty that is included with the computer. Hopefully someone can help me resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Caleb.cdh0127
Re: Macbook Pro 15" Late 2011 - Running Extremely Slow
09-Mar-2013 23:49 (in response to pennbank)
I know how computers work.
Oh Sorry Thought you were asking for assistance in solving a problem with your computer -
MacBook Pro running extremely slow- something with RAM maybe?
I'm using a MacBook Pro, and yesterday, out of nowhere it stated running extremely slow and constantly freezes. I did some research and ended up looking in the Activity Monitor, and it seemed like I have no free space available - so I deleted a bunch of files and the computer is still running exactly as slow as it was before. My stats on the activity monitor are:
Free: 9.7 MB
Wired: 851.7 MB
Active: 2.11 GB
Inactive: 1.05 GB
Used: 3.99 GB
VM Size: 162.33 GB
Page ins: 541.0 MB
Page outs: 4.02 GB
Swap Used: 10.41 GB
Finder says I have 317.3 GB available. What's the problem here?Safe mode prevents almost all third-party software from running such as preference panes, plug-ins, extensions, and launchagents and launch daemons. Normal boot lets all that run. So the issue is with one or more of these third-party items. Perhaps you can download EtreCheck 1.9.10 and run it when your system is at it's worst state. Then post the results here for us to check.
Also,
Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem. -
Safari is running extremely slow
I have a Macbook Pro 13" purchased Early 2011. I run OS X Version 10.7.5, processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 memory. My Safari runs extremely slow and almost non-existent at times. I have done the usual things like clear my cache, clean off my desktop, check the running performance, and space. All of which have not done anything to help. I have tried other browsers like Firefox and they run much faster. I would appreciate any suggestions.
That should clear everything, and reset it to factory installation.

You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
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.
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference? -
Final Cut loading and running extremely slow...
Hi, I posted about this a few days ago but in my usual panic (work to do!) I didn't make it clear, basically, here's the problem...
I recently had problems with FCP and generally all apps on my machine, when they loaded there was a slight pause when the icon bounced on the dock and I came across all sorts of errors, especially in FCP.
So, I backed up the two internal hard disks, formatted them both, then Raided them as one and put all the information back from the backup.
Since then everything's been working fine, I installed a new fresh copy of Final Cut Studio and I've done a few jobs.
Since finishing my last job last week (which happened to be working with MP4 files, I'm not sure if this is relevant), every time I load FCP now the icon struggles to bounce and it runs extremely slow, even if it's loading a new, blank project. From my last post, someone suggested I delete the render files from the MP4 project, I did so but still no luck.
I've run Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, no hope.
All other apps are fine but when I run FCP it slows the whole machine down, takes forever to force quit and restart until it's back to normal.
Next step is to re-install Final Cut Studio but even if this works, I'd like to have an idea why this has happened??? I've never had problems like this with my mac before.
Thanks, hope this is clear and not too much!

It would have been much better to find the problem than to just move it around.
All you have done is create a RAID where none was needed. When you moved your clone back to the RAId, you only moved all of the original problems to a new drive.
You are probably looking at a complete scorched earth-style reformat and reinstallation of everything from scratch since you've done so much damage.
There were a couple of things to try before you made the RAID but they would have been found by asking some questions and searching in the Mac OS10 forums.
