What is this all about? "The "QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6" plug-in is slowing down your Mac. You can wait for it to recover or stop it now." I'm running Mavericks 6.8.

I regularly get a prompt reading as follows: "The "QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6" plug-in is slowing down your Mac. You can wait for it to recover or stop it now." I've tried waiting, but nothing happens. I "stop it now" and lose the page I'm reading.

Adobe bridge is slowing down my mac pro how do I fix?

Adobe bridge is slowing down my mac pro how do I fix

I have a new Mac pro
If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. (Ask to speak to a senior advisor.)

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

Will TheSims 3 Slow down my Mac?

Hi everyone.
I have a lot of questions concerning The Sims 3 on a MacBook Pro. I had the Sims 3 on a Windows Vista and it was super slow. Here goes nothing!
     - I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro (late 2011)
     - Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
     - Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
     - I got my MacBook Pro THIS Summer (2012) and I really don't want it to slow down, etc.
Here are my questions/concerns:
     - If I download TS3 on my Mac, will it slow down my Mac? (ex. Safari, Word Doc's, iTunes, Photos, etc.)
     - If I install EP's (ex. Seasons, Pets, Generations) will that effect the speed of the game & my mac?
     - If I use 3rd party Custom Content what are the effects?
     - How does TS3 run on a Mac? Fast? Slow? Medium?
     - How do graphics look?
     - Do stuff packs effect the speed of the game?
     - Is installing TS3 recommended if you use your Mac for HW, emailing, school purposes?
I probably have more questions but I haven't thought of them haha. Please! Ask me questions about my mac, and tell me about how TS3 runs on your mac.
http://www.thesims3.com/game/systemreq This is the link for the system requirements for TS3. I'm not too computer savvy when it comes to things like this so any help would be nice!

I can't presently read thesims website. If the Intel HD Graphics card is not mentioned on the specs, then it won't run on your Mac, or might run itself very slowly. If it is mentioned, and so are cards that have much less MB on them for graphics, then chances are it will run OK on your Mac, and might be able to multitask with it. If only that many MB or more are mentioned on the graphics card, don't expect it to multitask very well. Generally speaking your hard drive will be your achilles heal in any software even if it is up to specs. Don't let it get over 85% full. This is from user experience and not based on any spec. If you plug in the power to the computer, you will get more performance than if you run unplugged. For better game support, you can check some Mac gaming pages*:

Can too many Photos slow down a Mac Pro?

Hi, I have atleast 100,000 photos on my pc, would this many photos slow down a 2.66GHz quad core mac pro with 6 gigs of memory? thanks

I have 60,000. I use non-boot drive of course for data. Some people have huge music and video libraries of 2TB spanning 2-3 drives on stripped RAIDs.
Mac Pro and OS X really likes RAM, and the base for DDR3 8-core is to have 6 DIMMs and I'd go with 6 x 2GB, either Apple or 3rd party RAM, then add 3 x 640GB drives (WD Black Caviar). Stripe two, even if you partition it as 400GB each. http://www.barefeats.com/nehal04.html
And keep the boot drive to OS and applications primarily.
A nice guide:

Why did it slow down my mac

I just downloaded Mountain Lion and I have noticed a severally impact on my system. Everything takes a long time and has slowed down from the synced iphone, iphoto, pages, and even itunes. I have never had this problem till this new operating system. I have the color wheel to open most things and it thinks a lot. I have 20 gigs of music, 40 of shows, and a few files saved. any similar problems?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Will downloading adobe flash player slow down my mac

Hi, i have a macbook pro 13 inch. Its my first mac and still figuring some stuff out but i want to be able to go on youtube, but when i pull up youtube it says i require adobe flash player; is there a way to get youtube videos without downloading flash. If not i dont mind downloading it, just would like to know if it will slow down the speed of my mac before i do download flash.

No, installing Flash will not slow down your machine. Make sure it is up to date so there are no security problems.

Automator/Workflow slow downs under Mac OS X 10.6

Hi,
after the update to SL some of my Automator Workflows dont work properly.
I do things like copy some part of sentence from a .rtf document and insert it into a input box of a website in firefox.
In 10.5.8 everything worked like a charm. But in 10.6 the same workflow (also new created) works some times and the other time it slows down and the cursor moves like a stopmotion movie. Pixel for pixel and i cannot stop the workflow. I only can wait until the workflow is finished (takes in "slow-down" mode 30 minutes) or i do a hardreset. I wonder if anyone else such of this problems with automator under 10.6
I tested the same things with my mac mini that i didnt upgraded and it works like expected.
I think you can reproduce the behaviour, if you create a new .rtf document with numbers from one to twelve and make a workflow where you mark 4 letters, cut, bring firefox to front, paste into form, go to .rtf, mark next 4 letters, cut, go to firefox, paste into form, doing that until there are no more letters.
very curious...

none of mine work!
irritating.... let me know if you find a fix or if we just have to wait for 10.6.1....

Boot camp seem to slow down my Mac

I install boot camp after I reinstall my Mac OS. My Mac OS and Windows XP seem to works really fine but 2 weeks later my Mac OS seem to works really slow!:( It took me around 5-10 minutes to boot up until I see all my dock, icons, folders, and time. And also slow down my other software, it took me around 30-40minutes to open a software such as: Google chrome, Safari, uTorrent...
This happend many times already in the past. I reinstall both my Windows and Mac 3-4 times. I still face the same problem. If I'm using only Mac this problem will not comes up. If I'm using both Mac and Windows, this problem will occur.
Any other software require to solve this problem? or Mac hardware problems?

Cable provider slowing down my Mac

I use Charter and I notice in the evenings that my mac is dog slow. Even stuff that does not require internet access runs sluggish. Is this just a issue with Cable modem providers? This kind of reminds me of the soft modem days when they would slow down your entire Mac. Hard modems did not have this problem. Perhaps this may be one reason to use DSL over Cable. Am I correct?

Open Activity Monitor and check your CPU and RAM usage, it could be a program taking a lot of your resources. You can test your internet speed for Charter.

Hundreds of DMProxy processes slowing down the Mac

Hi all
(now posted as a separate question)
I've got the following problem on my MacMini with OS X 10.3.9. and tried a lot of things (permissions, harddisk repair, PRAM reset, Startobjects remove...) nothing worked...
After a while after login (sometimes seconds, sometimes minutes, but seriously always after a while), usually reproducible when starting "large" programs like Adobe Photoshop after a few seconds, the mouse and screen update rate sink immediatly to once in 5 to 10 seconds and all processes are slowed down similarly. No work is possible afterwards, not even killing some processes or restarting the mac by key-stroke.
I used "top" from the beginning and could see (after a few minutes of "not-refressing") a lot of DMProxy (with UID 0) processes (100-1000) blocking my systems, when this issue has occured.
I even don't know which process has started these DMProxy's, so this posting is my last help, before reinitializing the whole system - I still don't know, how this could happen.
Any suggestions - how to get rid of this DMProxy's
Best Regards, Rico

Hi Pan,
Sysbase infocenter SyBooks Online and SAP note: 1982469 - SYB: Updating SAP ASE with saphostctrl / sapdbctrl and 1590719 - SYB: Updates for SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (SAP ASE) are the starting point to cover the update.
Please refer those two links. I hope that is not going to be a big task.

IPhoto slow down

I have a MacBook Air with latest upgrade. I use IPhoto '11 (with latest upgrade) a lot and it's been working fine. All of a sudden it has slowed down to a crawl. It accesses my library on my external hard drive (lots of room) without a problem. Did I accidently delete something? If I delete and reinstall iPhoto, I don't think I lose the library, but do I lose events? Coincidentally my Scan Snap stopped scanning at the same time. All my other apps seem to be working fine.

Well I'm glad as "pooped out" and "gets stuck" are serious issues I'm sure.
However, I'm not at all sure that you needed to make multiple Libraries. iPhoto 11 is good for 1,000,000 items in any one Library. But as I'm not sure what those terms mean it's hard to be sure...
