Ios 8 on i phone 5 slow response and freeze a lot

I've updated my i phone 5 to ios 8.0.2 but now it's so slow , freeze a lot and most of the apps crash i turned on my location service nothing changes

As razmee209 said, you can use iTunes to install photos on your phone from wherever you have them stored. Where did you copy them to? Are you saying you selected them on you phone and just hit "copy"? That would only copy one at a time to the "clipboard" so that you can paste it somewhere else. As you copy each one, the previous one is deleted from the clipboard. This is not a storage area. Did you back them up on your computer or in iCloud?

System Slows Down and Freezes a LOT - Memory? Swap? Hard Drive? AV?

I have a 2.4 GHz 24" dual core iMac (identifier: 7,1). It worked fine for a good while and lately I've been having problems that seem to be getting worse (sometimes it seems to get better, then worse again). I have 4 GB of memory and I'm waiting for more RAM to upgrade it to 6 GB, since I hear that's the max anyone's run successfully in this model.
I've often had a number of programs running at once. Usually I have Firefox, Apple Mail, the KDE's Konsole and Kate (from MacPorts), Calendar, Stickies, MacIago, and Pysol running. (Yes, it helps to have a few games up for breaks when I'm working.) I know that's a lot, but for well over a year, I was working with that setup without problems, without getting stuck for long times with the pinwheel of death or anything like that.
I'm not exactly sure when it started, but now I have times where I will do something and the program will freeze and I get the pinwheel of death. I wait and after 30-60 seconds I can do something, but sometimes I still get hesitations and a start-freeze&stop-go mode for a bit. Sometimes this freezes the whole computer for up to 30-60 seconds and I can't even check another space with Command-Arrow.
I've been trying to backtrack to see if I could figure out what is causing this. Sometimes killing Firefox helps, so I switched to Chrome and watched for usage on Activity Monitor and Chrome uses FAR less CPU time. I have FlashBlock and AdBlocker Plus on Chrome (had it on Firefox, and before that, used NoScript for blocking). But I've seen this happen even without a browser open.
I suspect this could be an issue with swap, since recently I was watching and saw spikes in disk usage around these times, but I'm not sure of the correlation yet. Sometimes it seems like whenever I switch to a different program, whenever I use a new feature, I have to wait (as if it's loading library code or something).
Again, this is a recent issue.
I've upgraded from 10.6.5 to 10.6.6, so I don't know if that could effect this.
I've also started using the free version of Sophos Anti-Virus (which is apparently impossible to quit once it's running) and thought it might be doing scans.
What's also puzzled me is seeing that, with 4 GB of memory, Activity Monitor continually shows 1 GB free, but still indicates 2 GB swap files. So is there a reason 25% of my RAM is not being used?
I've also checked and found my drive to be heavily fragmented. I bought iDefrag, but it can't defrag it because there seem to be some bad blocks. Rather than mark them as bad every time it hits that spot, it just tells me it can't access that part of the drive.
My guess is that OS X, for some reason, leaves a set amount of memory free to use for various reasons and that, due to fragmentation, what was once an easy task of accessing something in a swap file is now time-consuming.
Is that on target? What else could be causing this problem? This is beginning to make my iMac unusable. If it's just swap file issues and defrag problems, I'm thinking of cloning my internal 320 GB drive to a 1 TB drive and replacing the original, then running iDefrag for good measure and continuing from there. (It seems like in OS X finding bad blocks is difficult, from what I've seen.)
What can I do and does anyone have any idea what the problem is? I'll be glad to give more details if that helps, but I've tried to include as much as I can already.
Thanks for any ideas or help.

Considering how I've solved this, I'm pretty much shocked that nobody had any answers for this.
I upgraded my drive from the standard 320 GB drive (which had about 79 GB free on it). I used Carbon Copy Clone to copy my system drive to a 1 TB drive, then swapped out the 320 GB for the 1 TB. When I booted it up and started working, I noticed it was back to the way things used to be: I could go from one program to another to another with NO problem at all. No pinwheels of death and I even added a few more more running programs and still had no issue.
I have no idea why, but before, even when there was a 2 GB swap file, 1 GB (out of 4 GB) of RAM was always unused. I don't know if the OS looks at what it can access and figures read/write times and uses that to figure out how much memory it can effectively handle or what, but now I'm using almost all of my 4 GB of RAM and the swap file is smaller than it was.
So upgrading to a larger drive made a HUGE difference. I'm willing to bet that defragging the old one would have made a difference as well, but there were problems with some files and iDefrag could not read them, which also makes me suspect that drive was on its last legs and close to failure. (That and bad sectors could also have slowed down swap, along with fragmentation issues.)
The solution was a bigger drive, but I suspect defragging the old drive might have helped (if it weren't for possible bad blocks). I know deleting files from the old drive did not help too much.

If I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

if I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

Ever since I downloaded IOS 8 my IPad has been slower, stalling and now it completely crashed and I can't restart. It's the Ipad 2. Is there anyway I can do?

Phone messing up and freezing a lot

Ive noticed that lately my phone has been tweaking out and freezing a lot. For example sometimes when i slide to unlock, the screen flashes then goes white then i have to hit the standby button again and repeat it. Also sometimes the phone doesnt pick up my presses like ill hit end call and it wont end it ill keep hitting end i can see the button being pressed but it still wont end. I was wondering if i need to just get a new one.

First: Try resetting it. Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, about 8 seconds (after the OFF slider appears).
If that doesn't fix it, try a Restore using iTunes.
Next, try a Recovery: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797
If none of these fix it call Apple iPhone support or take it to an Apple store Genius Bar (make an appointment first at www.apple.com/retail)

IOS 5 put my phone in recovery mode and won't turn back on or let me restore it, does anyone know how to fix this?

today i tried downloading ios 5 for my iphone 4. i updated all the software on my macbook pro. then when i was downloading ios 5 for my phone. it completely shut off. at first it was just showing me the screen to plug it into itunes. when i did, it would tell me to restore it because it was in recovery mode. however, it could not get approved by apple. i understand they have been bombarded today. however, now it is just showing a black screen with the loading circle on it. it wont let me turn it back on. and when i plug it into my computer it isnt recognizing it. i dont know what to do. is my phone dead forever? its been 4 hours..

If you have no other choice then put it in DFU mode. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374810?

IOS 7 put my phone in recovery mode and will not restore

After updating to iOS 7, my iphone went into recovery mode and everytime I try and restore it, it errors out with an error code 9. I have tried 2 different cords and 2 different computers and it will not restore. HELP Not sure what to do from here and the nearest Apple store is 200 miles away.

Hi all,
Bit of background so I don't waste anyone's time:
IPhone 4s, itunes 11.1 (both on computer and iphone)
I too am stuck in this recovery loop. I've read all over the community and have tried the suggestions:
I put my phone in DFU mode & also recovery mode (a.e. hold home/sleep button down for 10 seconds, etc., etc., etc.) and tried restoring this way 10 different times, as some posts say it sometimes works after the 4-5 try but still no results.
On my Iphone Screen the apple logo appears and the status bar below it gets stuck about 2/3 of the way, then I get the following error message, "could not restore because of unknown error (1)".
I set up an appt. at the apple store for tomorrow, but holy sh*t what a fiasco!
Any suggestions?

How do I fix a Safari application that slows down and freezes everything?

Apple called last fall and said my particular Mac had a hard disk problem and they replaced it at the Apple store in late January 2013. I backed up the information on an external harddrive and used Time Machine before to transfer all the information to the new drive. Everything worked well and I finally put on Mountain Lion at 10.8.4. I also have Carbonite as a backup and it apparently was not enabled when I transferred the files until early May. In early May I had not used my iMac for about a month and when I started it I found about 40 named file folders on the Desktop that were empty. Some of those had named items in them but when I clicked on them they would dissappear. The actual files did exist and were not effected when I dumped the apparent alias folders. Safari started and would be ok at first but if I went away for an hour it would slow down. I took it in to the Genius Bar at Apple and they ran some tests and got rid of MacKeeper which they felt was causing the problem. I got my Mac back home and it still started slow but worked well at first and then started going slow. If I opened Word it would also start working at a slower speed. I needed to force quit Safari and the Word progran in order to quit or restart the Mac. I got an appointment for the next day and they ran all sorts of tests and the hard drive was working normally. They tried tweeking different areas and sent me home again. When I started working again it did the same thing, I would start out fine and eventually slow down and needed to be force quit to get out of it. A message came up indicating my MasOSX startup disk had no more space available for applications memory. I took it in a third time and the Genius went to the Activity Monitor and the Safari PID was 221 and %CPU 107, Threads 21 Real Mem 2.73 GB, Virtual Mem 22.00 Kind, Intel (64). I had no idea what that meant. I went home again and it still ran slow and couldn't run the programs for any length of time before it ran slow and affected the other programs so they would only quit if I used Force quit. I took it in for the forth time an they decided to keep it overnight. They ran ASD first to rule out memory. They noticed during the appointment the computer was slow to perform normal tasks such as showing boot options, booting into user, bootingto external user. If the ASD passed then they would perform erase and install and only restore users and application files from backup drive. They did this on Wed and Thur. night and I took it home Friday night, June 14 and it still has the same problem. Typing this message right now means typing and waiting for the words to appear.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

[Solved]Computer slow down and freeze during data transfer syncing

Hello,
Everytime I make a data transfer, my computer slow down, and sometimes freeze during a few seconds, work for a fraction of seconds and freeze again. I don"t understand why.
As an example, here is a bench of files i transfered during a syncing with Grsync
It took about 12h to sync 64Gb.
I've read a lot of topics talking about this problem but nothing works. I tried to switch off the SWAP and setting the vm.dirty_ratio and vm.background_dirty_ratio but nothing works.
I'm making the trasfer between two Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive in NTFS.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

It seems it was beacause one of my external hard drive was about to die. I performed the same operation with 2 Western Digital external hard drive 1To USB3 and it works perfectly.

Combo 10.7.4 Update slowing down and freezing applications

After updating from Combo Mac OS X 10.7.3 to Combo Mac OS X 10.7.4, my third party applications slow to a crawl and freeze on a rotating basis.
Affected applications:
- BOINC with which I do volunteer medical research (3 CPUs used 100% of the time);
- aMule 2.3.1 to download files;
- Mozilla Firefox 12.0 to browse the internet.
I tried to reduce the CPU usage of BOINC (3 CPUs used 80% of the time instead of 100%) to no avail.
I re-installed with some difficulty Mac OS X 10.7.1 from the copy I bought on the Mac App Store to preserve the work I had done on my iMac since the last TimeMachine back-up, but did not improve performance, possibly because I ended up with a mixed system of Mac OS X 10.7.4 components surviving the Mac OS X 10.7.1 re-install.
I am currently performing a TimeMachine re-install of my previous system (Combo Mac OS X 10.7.3) which will take almost a full day and erase my Macintosh HD to copy the TimeMachine content.
When reading posts on AppleInsider.com and TonyMac x86 blog @ http://tonymacx86.blogspot.ca, I came up with at least 3 different explanations:
- The Mac OS X 10.7.4 System takes up all the RAM memory and gives back unused, free memory only slowly, so that third party applications (and Apple applications such as the Finder and Force Quit) don't have enough free memory and freeze on an alternate basis, although my Core i5 quad-core iMac has 12 GB of installed RAM recognized by Mac OS X;
- Apple has changed kext files in anticipation of the upcoming Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and accidently changed the CPU multiplier so that the CPU is artificially limited to 1.6 GHz (instead of a quad-core 2.66 GHz);
- Apple has changed the /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist file and the following lines of the booting sequence:
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
should be replaced by using TextEdit to copy the following lines:
<key>DropSSDT</key>
<string>Yes</string>
For more info, see:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=168&t=59889
I'm just an average user with no programming skills. I don't feel comfortable with doing undocumented tweaks when I don't really understand what I am doing. On this one, I sure hope that Apple engineers are investigating the issue to come up with a fix.
In the mean time, I am using TimeMachine to re-install my previous system (Combo Mac OS X 10.7.3) which will take almost a full day. I have been deprived of my iMac for 3 days and that's all the time that I can spend on a malfunctioning Combo Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update.
quad-core Core i5-750 @ 2.66 GHz
12 GB SO-DIMM RAM
2 TB hard drive with 100 GB of free space

Final report:
I hope that my experience will help others who added their comments to this thread and anyone else who has problems updating Mac OS X.
Here's the solution to my problems:
1- I backed up the contents of my iMac using TimeMachine (before any attempt to install a major system update) so that I would always have a copy of my Mac running smoothly under Mac OS X 10.7.3;
2- I used Geekbench to measure the performance of my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 and achieved a score of 7622;
3- Using Google and browsing through Apple Support Communities, I realized that Mac users weren't up in arms over the Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update, instead I was confronted with a number of users reporting various issues, none of which was similar to what my iMac experienced, meaning that my experience was unique, exceptional;
4- Starting the iMac through a self-made Mac OS X 10.7.1 booting DVD (I didn't make a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion USB thumb drive), I used my TimeMachine backup to erase the contents of the iMac and replace it with the copy of the backed up iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (before the Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update);
5- Once everything was stable and running well, after repairing the Macintosh HD and then, repairing permissions with the Apple Disk Utility, I did what most Mac users do, i.e. use the Software Update command under the Apple menu to check if there were any available update for my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.3;
6- Software Update offered me a 729 MB Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update which is bigger than the 692 MB Mac OS X 10.7.4 (Client) Delta Update being offered on Apple Support Downloads;
7- I downloaded and installed the 729 MB Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update offered through Software Update which, presumably, contained additional software which is specific to the iMac model and year that I use;
8- After making a Safe Boot as described by Apple @ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455, repairing the Macintosh HD and then, repairing permissions with the Apple Disk Utility, and giving the iMac 2 more days to defragment on its own the hard disk, I am pleased to report that my iMac achieved a higher score of 7663 on GeekBench, showing that everything is back to normal and that my iMac runs even better with the Mac OS X 10.7.4 Update.
Hope this helps anyone reading this post. Good luck.

Slow perfomarnce and freezes when trying to open Microsoft Publisher after refresh/reboot

Hi,
I just bought my HP laptop 2 months ago. Everything was okay, fast and really convenient until few days ago, upon turning on, it prompted a message saying I needed to refresh it. So I did, and afterwards, all my installed applications like skype, internet browsers, etc., were gone. I tried installing the apps again and everything went smoothly though a little slower. I thought I needed to update some applications for better performance, so I checked for some and tried installing them.
Then yesterday, when I tried to open Microsoft Publisher, my laptop just suddenly froze. The mouse and keyboard didn't work so I had to turn it off using the main power switch. And everytime, I turned it on, everything was just slow.
Can you help me fix the problem? Also, can you help me speed up its performance?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi @blissss ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I will do my best to assist you. I have read about your HP 14-r024tx Notebook and having slow speeds. Thank you for all the information about what is happening.
Something is slowing the Notebook down. Did you install some virus protection or a firewall? If you disable this are your speeds better. I had a DVD in my Notebook that slowed the startup process a lot. You might want to check that.
Here is a document on improving your system.
Make sure all updates have been completed in the control panel or click the Windows key and start typing PC settings, then go to update.
Please let me know how this goes.

Droid Eris phone dialing slow response -- solved

Recently, since the 2.1 update my Eris became un-usably slow to respond when I hit the "Call" button, literally about 10sec.
I searched the forums for a solution to this and noticed that it's a rather pervasive issue.
Then, noticed that after I hit the "Advanced Task Killer" app. and kill the selected app that the dialing response returns to normal.

Hit the "Advanced Task Killer" app. and kill the selected app then the dialing response returns to normal.

Droid 2 slow response and no 3g

the response time when i try to open an app or switch screens is a very slow. I hardly ever lately have been connecting to 3G service as well.

Lufty419, thank you for sharing your issue and I want to help speed up your phone! Is this happening with specific applications? Clear the cache from any applications this is happening with. Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All, Application, Clear data/cache. Also what happens when you try to access internet? What city and state are you located in? Try also booting your phone into safe mode to see if either of these issues are resolved. If the phone is working fine in safe mode, a third party app may be causing the issue. bit.ly/o5McAQ Try uninstalling recently installed apps especially battery saver, task killer or antivirus apps.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

Pages for iOS is crashing my phone when I try and open documents. Help!

I just got an iPhone 5S. I have had pages on my iPhone 5 and iPad mini with no issues but when I try and interact with any document on my phone now, the entire phone crashes - I get a blue screen of death - and my phone restarts. I have tried to delete the app and reload it but I get the same results. This does not happen on my mini and both are running iOS7. I do not have this issue with any other app.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION
If you read the link I posted above you, will be able to find my fix for this issue. Although it is temporary, it's the best were gonna get until Apple steps in.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23122818#23122818
Basically, just email all your documents in iCloud/on your iOS device to yourself so you have them backed up in a safe place. Then delete all your documents from pages. Quit the app and relaunch. It will stop crashing the entire phone.
New documents will not cause the rebooting issue.
If you edit a new document in the Beta Pages service on iCloud.com, your phone will start crashing again when you use pages.
