Incredibly slow 9300, I've tried it all.
Hey everyone!
To start off:
I'm on Koodo
I have a 3g curve, 9300, and it's OS is 6.0 Bundle 2391
Application storage: 189.6MB used 66.4 Free
Pre batter pull:
Memory use: 178.7 used 77.1 free under applications,
Device status says 69103008 bytes free.
After a battery pull:
Memory use: 161.4 used 94.5 free
Device status: 695473936
I have all the standard apps that come with the Blackberry, no extras.
I have a couple hundred MB of music on a 2gb card.
Now for the problem.
I've had my crackberry for about a month now, and I love it. But in the past week it has become incredibly slow, sometimes sitting for 10 minutes at a time without me being able to do anything, and I've missed some phone calls too. In fact, at my school's award ceremony, I had my friend store it in her purse, and when she brought it out, it was frozen with the clock displaying the time from when awards started.
I'm incredibly frustrated. Here's what I've tried:
Battery Pull
Clear the log
Memory cleaner
Closing all apps possible
Pull the media card
Remove languages I don't use.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Also: My battery life has taken a dive in light of this freezing situation. It usually lasts me from about 7:00am to arouns 9 or 10 at night, so a good 14 or 15 hours. But now, it's barely making 6 hours, and that's mostly idle and in my pocket.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.
Ok, so now go back to your Security settings, and turn it off.
There's really no need for Memory Cleaner use for most users, it does not increase any memory amount and routinely only uses process time and causes the blasted processor busy clock.

My 8620 HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer IS INCREDIBLY SLOW TO PRINT - TRIED EVERYTHING
I have an 8620 HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer It is connected via wireless set-up, with excellent signal strength. It is incredibly slow to print anything, especially PDF files that have graphics in them. I have the latest software installed, latest firmware updates. I have even uninstalled and re-installed, the issue is still there. This is an incredibly crap product, so I'd like to get this issue solved ASAP. Thanks,Brian
For example: printing http://www.nytimes.com/images/2015/07/04/nytfrontpage/scan.pdf Quickly goes 7.03mb/of 7.03mb... then just swirls the "printing" status on the printer's LCD screen, and takes 5 minutes to print...

my internet connection is incredibly slow - I know it is not the fault of the modem as other devices are fast. This article was suggested to me as a solution. I think they were just trying to get me off their back. Anyone else experience this?
If Safari is getting very slow:
(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
and clear your History)
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network:please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/best_practices/#your_network and follow the advice given.
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x as is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
You can cancel DNS pre-fetching by going to Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
You have to restart Safari for it to take effect.
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The later versions of Flash 10.1 onwards appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
For this and other reasons Apple switched their websites to HTML5 in January 2011:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/01/26/apple_revamps_its_public_website_u sing_html5.html
For Snow Leopard/Lion users this should also be read:

I have downloaded the adobe student suite and whenever I open any of the adobe applications my laptop is incredibly slow, I cannot use any other application at the same time and often have to force quit. I have taken all my files off my laptop and added to my external hardrive. Can anyone help please?
What about other non-Adobe programs on the machine - do they also run slowly?
What are your system specifications? How do they match up to the system requirements for the software? -
Whenever I log off of my computer I get a message "NSAppshell event window," which slows down the performance of Mozilla and anything else we're trying to run on our computer. We're forced to log off and on to reboot and this happens nearly all the time. We have tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, to no avail. We are using Mozilla 4.0. Thanks for any help you can provide, as we don't want to go back to using Internet Explorer if we can help it.
I'd like you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, and tell me if that fixes your problem.

Mac desktop running incredibly slow.
Hi I have a 2010 Imac which is running incredibly slow!
3.06 GHz processor, 4GB memory running OS X Yosemite
I was hoping someone could please help me get to the bottom of what is wrong with it - i did wonder does it need a new hard drive? The original hard drive was replaced by Apple under warranty in summer 2013.
It was running really slow and then last week I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 which seemed to give it a new lease of life. however yesterday there was a power cut and since I have restarted it it is taking forever to do the smallest task. It takes about a minute to open up mail and then you have to wait around 30 secs to see the messages, then wait even longer to click and write.
Having looked up common faults I have tried looking at the utilities section but there is nothing showing a high percentage and I really don't know what else to do?
I have done an Etrecheck as recommended by support and have attached it below:
Can anyone advise why it is going so slow and what do all the red bits on the etre check results actually mean?
Many Thanks
Catriona

Launch the Console 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.

Copying files either very slow or doesn't work at all
I've tried copying files from a DVD to an external drive, and from one external drive to another, and I've been running into troubles on my Mac Pro, namely, I get an error code 36 (corrupted files) and the copying process hangs, requiring me to reboot. However, I was able to copy the files from the DVD to my laptop HD, so I don't think that corrupt files is the problem. After rebooting my Mac Pro, I was able to copy files from one external drive to another, but it was incredibly slow (about 1GB per hour), and I was still unable to copy files from the DVD to an external drive. I've verified all the disks with Disk Utility, and I've repaired disk permissions on my Mac Pro HD but apparently need to re-run since when I verify permissions again, I'm still getting a lot of errors or comments like "Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/rlogin" has been modified and will not be repaired". Scanning my Mac Pro HD for viruses, quite a few files are coming up with the comment "did not have permission to open the file." Other than continuing to repair disk permissions, does anyone have suggestions about what might be causing this and/or on possible next steps?
A little further info - I checked permissions and I have permission to copy the files in question. Also, it seems that most of the errors that pop up when I verify permissions are of the type that can safely be ignored, according to Apple -- I'll go through the list later and cross-check them to make sure that they're all ignore-able, but thats what they appear to be.

Incredibly slow MacBook, Internal Hard Drive issues...
Good morning everybody! I'm apologize if this post is extremely wordy...
I am extremely baffled by a particular issue with a MacBook 2.0GHz C2D which belongs to a friend of mine. The warranty is expired.
_Brief history:_
Several months ago, this MacBook could not find a bootable volume. The drive would not mount when booting from an external FireWire hard drive. It would not mount when the MacBook was put in Target Disk Mode and connected to another Mac. When booting from an external USB hard drive or with my MacBook Pro connected to the MacBook via Target Disk Mode, the MacBook booted up quickly. I came to the conclusion that the internal hard drive must have failed and needed to be replaced. Ultimately, the data was not recoverable from this drive.
I then proceeded to swap out the defective Apple OEM Seagate hard drive with a known working Apple OEM Fujitsu hard drive. When booting from the Leopard Install DVD, the MacBook would boot incredibly slow, but would finally reach the Installer Language screen. When proceeding to install Leopard, the drive would take a very long time to have data written to it, and ultimately the install failed. I removed the new hard drive from the MacBook and placed it in an external USB enclosure, attached it to the MacBook and booted from the Leopard Install DVD. Leopard would install successfully. I removed the hard drive from the enclosure and reinstalled it the MacBook. When booting from the freshly installed OS, the MacBook would take a very long time to boot. The MacBook is extremely slow!!!
I checked the Activity Monitor to ensure CPU & System Memory Usage was not going crazy. All Processes where normal with adequate CPU & Memory headroom.
I took the MacBook apart thinking that the SATA Controller Cable might be loose. No, it was firmly in place. I reassembled the MacBook and booted it up again. Still incredibly slow!
Finally, after several reboot attempts, the MacBook would book up quickly and operation was perfect. I applied all updates and continued testing the MacBook with great success. Gave my friend his MacBook back and he was grateful.
_Now for the kicker..._
My friend brought me his MacBook a week ago complaining that the MacBook was operating extremely slow (much like when I was initially testing it before). I verified the MacBook was slow when I tried using it. I tried several reboots and then it would get stuck on the gray Apple with spinning gear.
I tried booting into Single User Mode, but it gets stuck on "Waiting for root device"
I put the MacBook in Target Disk Mode and connected it to my G5 2.0GHz Dual Core. The hard drive would mount quickly on the G5 and I used Disk Utility to create a Restore Image. The disk operation would perform normally and the image would be created successfully.
I then partitioned the MacBook's hard drive when connected to the G5, ejected and proceeded to attempt OS reinstall. No dice! The hard drive is not even detected by the Disk Utility on the Leopard Install DVD.
Finally after several reattempts, the hard drive is recognized, but is extremely slow when trying to reinstall...and again, ultimately install fails. Using Disk Utility from Leopard Install DVD, the hard drive fails to unmount when I try formatting.
I don't have Apple Hardware Test disc for the MacBook or Apple Service Diagnostics disc for this model. Running TechTool Pro shows hardware to be okay, disk controller onboard the Fujitsu drive is okay, but running SMART & Surface Scan takes a long, long time (which I'm certain will ultimately error out). Running Drive Genius takes a long, long time as well.
Conclusion:
I think the SATA Controller Cable is defective. I can't think of anything else that would cause disk errors or performance issues like this. Your input is truly appreciated!Even though no one responded to my post, I thought I'd share the resolution with the entire Apple community. I hope this information will be helpful to some of you with MacBooks or MacBook Pros that may be running painfully slow or may be exhibiting hard drive issues because your machine won't recognize the boot drive or fails to properly boot on a perfectly healthy S.M.A.R.T. verified hard drive. It just might be the hard drive connector/cable. Here it goes...
I visited my local Apple Retail Store and asked a "Genius" at the Genius Bar about this issue and told him my thoughts about a possible failed hard drive connector/cable. First, he didn't even know what a hard drive connector was! Then, he arrogantly stated that he never heard of such a thing and that these cables never fail. Finally, he blatantly dispelled this as a possibility.
On the contrary with my experience, I have had many failed PATA controller cables that required replacement when supporting the desktop PC's at work. I have personally owned and supported many Apple manufactured laptops and desktops and have never encountered this issue on a Mac...until this MacBook!
So, after looking at the Service Manual for the MacBook, I went over to my local Apple Authorized Service Provider and purchased the Hard Drive Connector Apple Part #922-7579. I replaced the original cable, reassembled and proceeded to boot the MacBook with the Leopard DVD installer. The Fujitsu drive was immediately recognized and was able to be formatted and Leopard installed without incident. The MacBook boots off the internal hard drive as normal again and works nice and fast again.
Thank you all for your time!

17" i7 MacBook Pro incredibly slow
My i7 macbook Pro has become incredibly slow. Boot time is well over 3 minutes, bringing up a program (such as Microsoft Word or Pages) takes upto 2 additional minutes. When I look at the activity monitor, it does not appear that the machine is CPU bound--- CPU sits there at about 10-20% utilization at the most. I have a 7200 RPM drive, but it almost looks like it takes a long time to load. I have tried many programs: Disk optimization, DIsk Warrior, Clean my Mac, Mac Keeper.... so I have dedragmented my disk, cleaned all the caches, got rid of temp files, and done basically everything I can do. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong? I do not have many programs that I run regularly;; Mainly Safair, Chrome, Microsoft Office, iWork, and Mail. The vintage of the machine is June 2010. MacKeeper is saying my machine is at optimized. I have also removed virtualy all the programs that I had at startup including Growl, Flip4Mac. I have also cleaned my desktop.
Ideas will be appreciated. I am now spending more time on my MacBook Air which is blazingly fast, but I am constrained by the small hard drive and the small screen.
Thanks,
Paul

Says it all right there. Uninstall this P.O.S. software if you can, they don't provide a method neither.
The Mac based Internet wants to crucify these jerks. It's as bad as MacDefender.
Download the free Easy Find here, it allows more deeper of a search than Spotlight, even invisible files. Seek and destroy MacKeeper.
http://www.devon-technologies.com/download/index.html
When you first boot your machine and you have no programs open, look for a process that consuming a lot of CPU, it's likely your culprit, you can force quit it.
Look at your System Preferences > Accounts > log-in items for anything your not using and click the "-" to stop it being a log in item.
OnyX will deep system clean a Mac, do ALL the cleaning and maintenance tasks and reboot, it will do it without installing or running anything afterwards, unlike those other programs.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
What I suspect is your caches are thrown off by the defrag. Do the OnyX and remove MacKeeper, I think you'll be a happy camper after that.
When you reboot, there should be hardly anything running, your CPU usage should nearly zero.
If all this fails, your looking at backing up your data. Hold c and booting off the installer disk that comes with your computer and using Disk Utility to Erase, format HFS+ Journaled and reinstalling OS X. Programs from fresh sources and files from backup.
Next time Carbon Copy Cloner your boot drive to a external drive, it's hold option bootable and you can recover/repair, run the computer off the clone or reverse clone if need be. -
Hello,
During the past month i have had a strange problem with my Firefox browser in certain situations. The issue is only apparent when running certain 3D games (Most frequently when I run Diablo III). Whenever these games are loaded my Firefox browser will work incredibly slow. This is not an issue of a bandwitdh problem or such, the loading speed is fine, but the actual mouse clicks, bookmark clicks, keyboard inputs etc. take several seconds to register.
I have tried running Firefox in failsafe-mode which immediately made the problem go away. However, whenever I run it in regular mode the problem will be back even if I disable every single addon and plugin. I have also tried reinstalling both firefox as well as my addons and flash player, the issue stays.
For what it's worth, any other browser I have installed does not experience the problem at all (despite having the same few addons installed - I only have 3 of them).
Does anyone have a clue what the issue might be? Does the failsafe-mode inactivate anything besides the addons and plugins listed in the addon-section?
Thanks in advance[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL#w_turning-off-hardware-acceleration|Turning off hardware acceleration]]

Incredibly slow internet, Connection drops.
Well.. Posting here is pretty much a last resort..

What i class as "acceptable" connection speeds for my phone line 4 - 6 mb.. This is the speeds i would achieve before i ran into any problems. 4mb through the day.. Sometimes ( not very often) 6mb early hours in the morning.
Mid January 2014 - Broadband starts going incredibly slow.
I'm talking 0.1mb connection speeds.
So, i contact BT over the phone... Do all the tests and checks they tell you to do, problem persists, so i get elevated to a level 2 adviser. I get a call back from adviser, he does some magic with the exchange and my broadband speeds up.
Speed achieved 2.5mb
not quite the speed i used to achieve but certainly bare-able...
February / March
Exactly same as above, Internet slows down to a crawl, i contact BT, get elevated and it gets "fixed"
Speed still sitting at around 2.5mb.
May
Parents inform me that the Internet is slow again and constantly disconnecting
(They aren't very tech savy hence why i have been dealing with the problems)
I start monitoring the connection allot closer, and notice that the connection is dropping quite allot in the evening.. I work evenings hence why i have never noticed this fact.
After doing some research and diagnostics i notice the phone line is "Noisy". So i start monitoring this too. I find that this isn't always the case.. Some times its quiet other times you can bairly hear people on the phone for the noise (imagine someone crunching up a bag of crisps next to your ear, that's what its like)
I Contact BT, quite frustrated that iv had the same problem 3 times now.. Tell them about the noise on the line, and an engineer is sent out.
Engineer does all his tests in the house, "No problems" (The line was conveniently quiet while he was doing tests).. Just before he leaves i do a line test, and it perks up with some static, i let him listen.. He does his tests all over again, "no faults on the line"
The Engineer then informs me, that in mid January when some work on a sewage pipe was being done right next to my telephone exchange, a line was cut.. I somehow dint think, for one second this is a co-incidence. From all my own tests and diagnostics this was the only explanation i had for the problems.
He leaves, i contact BT again.. Get elevated to a level 2 adviser AGAIN.. he "fixes" it..
Speed goes back up to 2.5mb
About a week later this Problem happens AGAIN.. So i contact BT - And while I'm on the phone, the line is incredibly noisy and i say to the person on the other end that it is, so i get thrown across to a different department, who insist on sending an engineer out.
Engineer comes out, does all the same tests that the first engineer did, line is quiet while he is here, i explain EVERYTHING to him.. He doesn't really have much of an explanation, tells me that the damaged wire from the sewage work was "fixed" And that 2mb is a good speed for how far i am from my exchange (maybe so, its still not the 4 - 6 i used to get though)....He decides to shimmy up the telegraph pole outside my house fiddles around up there and a couple of other things...
After calling BT again, and getting elevated to a level 2 adviser (again) my Internet is "fixed"
Speed Fluctuating between 2.5 and 3mb now.
And here we are now.......Guess what? Internet is slow again...
Iv noticed someone with a similar problem in another post, so.. Before you ask:
Yes iv done all the tests, taken all phones out, tried a different micro filter, disconnected all other devices.
My main socket doesn't have a test socket in it, so don't ask me to plug into it.

Your speed test has completed and the results are shown above, however during the test an error occurred while trying to retrieve additional details regarding your service. As a result we are unable to determine if the speed you received during the test is acceptable for your service. Please re-run the test if you require this additional information.
So to summarise:
Slow Internet
Dropping Connection
Noisy lineIn reply to imjolly
I would try this belwire fix, but i have had broadband through this socket for about 8 years now, with no problems what so ever..
So im automaticaly rulling out any sources of internal interference, as this would of already been a factor, and i wouldn't notice a sudden drop in speed..

Havn't noticed any Noise on the telephone, Proboly explains why my connection has stayed up for 23 hours now.
I will contact BT, have them send an engineer out, i might be lucky this time, and have a noisy line while he is here.. Seems to me thats what im going to have to keep doing -
Incredibly Slow broadband Speed
Hi, I'm servering from a Incredibly Slow broadband Speed and can't nail the reason why.
The broadband for my street was down for a whole weekend although box said connection was ok - helpline was no help - just said try again tomorrow. Now we have internet but the speed is very very slow - speed test results are :
Download = 53 kps
acceptable range = 100-250 kps
DSL Connection Rate 486 Kps (Down-Stream), 712 kps(Up-Stream)
IP Profile for line = 135 kps
Upload = 541 Kps
Addition Hub Info:
Noise Margin (Down/Up) = 8.5 dB / 6.7 dB
Line Attenuation (Down/Up) = 63.8 dB / 35.8 dB
Output power (Down/Up) = 1.3 dBm / 1.1dBm
Prior to loss of service, my speeds although weren't great were about 1.2 Mps
I've tried all the suggestions like changing channels, filters etc and nothings change in my house since the degrading of service.
Can someone please help !
Best regardsI don't know if this will help, but I do notice that your output power is only 1.3dBm / 1.1dBm. can I ask you to look on the back of your home Hub and check to see if it is a Type A or Type B, this will be on the label in the bottom right corner. If it is a type B Hub then ring and ask for a Type A Hub as I have found that I get a better output power reading of around 16.0dBm. When I was sent out a relacement Hub when mine went wrong they sent out a Type B and my speed went very slow, so I put the original Type A Hub back on to see if it made a differance and my speed increased and my IP Profile went up. So if this is the case, ring up tech support and don't ask tell them that you wont a Type A replacement Hub. All the best in your efforts and don't forget that the more you insist the more you can achieve.

IPhoto incredibly slow, stalls whole computer
I am having major problems with iPhoto. I am trying to organize and clean up my library, but I spend hours waiting for iPhoto to open, photos to load or delete, and for iPhoto to shut down. Every process is incredibly slow and I basically can't work with the program at all, as the computer stalls for up to an hour.
I have 15,000 photos in my library, but still sufficient space on my hard drive. According to iPhoto help, the program should be able to handle about 25,000 photos. My computer (Mac OSX Powerbook G4 with Tiger) is about 3 years old now and I don't know if it's a computer issue or an iPhoto issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am slowly deleting some photos from the library but in the coming years I expect to build my photo colloection. Is it a quantity issue? Do the latest versions of iPhoto address this? I have read of other people having slow iPhotos even with far fewer photos.Michael
This might have something to do with MobileMe trying to connect when iPhoto starts. If so it would be useful to be able to disable this "feature"!
Yes, turn it off. It’s in the Preferences - MobileMe -> Check for new Photos: set it to Manually.
While you’re at it, make sure that ‘Search for Shared Libraries’ is disabled in Sharing too.

ITunes incredibly slow to load, cannot see any devices...
Hello,
iTunes is incredibly slow - takes 2 minutes+ to load. When it does load, it cannot see iPod touch, iPad 3 or iPhone 5. It could yesterday.
Updated iTunes.
Totally removed all iTunes and associated programs, and reinstalled.
Checked Apple USB drivers, all functioning.
Deleted preferences file.
Ran on Windows safe mode.
Ran 3 different malware scans in Safe Mode.
Unistalled Quicktime.
Ran on basic boot under MSIconfig.
Please help!
Windows 7, i5, 6gb ram.Yes, that's a good point. On my MBP, everything works just fine, so it's not an internet connectivity issue. Both machines are running the same anti-virus/firewall software with the same settings. The MBP is wireless via Time Capsule, whereas the iMac is hardwired to TC. The only difference is the entire library is on the iMac and AppleTV pulls from it for both audio & photos.
But these are all "library" issues, which are unaffected. It's only the "store" and the rendering of the pages within it. I tried the parental settings trick to disable iTunes Store & iTunes U - sped right up on display. But as soon as I changed settings so I could actually access content? Slowed right down...
Any other thoughts??
Thanks
