IPod running VERY slow. Question!

Dropped my iPod and now it takes forever to play a song I select. (120gb iPod Classic) -
What could this be? I've dropped it before (I have a case)
And it's like my computer doesn't recognize it anymore, but it says connected.
It takes FOREVER and I end up "End Task" to iTunes and if I go into My Computer. Everything associated with the iPod goes "Not Responding" until I play around with it and everything works, but I am not able to open the iPod, I've waited 5 minutes and nothing happens.
Thanks in advance, I know it may be a confusing explanation.

Looking at the report, the Hardisk need to be replaced, as indicated by the high Start/Stop numbers, due to the many attempts to reboot and read the Hardisk, this is causing it to overheat till 254C, max operational temperature is 50C.
There is no Realloc, as it cant even read any cluster to Reallocate or remap as Bad Cluster.
If it is under warranty, bring it back to Apple Store, you maybe lucky and get a replacement immediately.
Or you can Google for any 3rd Party iPod Hardisk Repair in your Area, they can do it within an hour, costs about US$100-150 (depending on the HD capacity)
As for doing it yourself, the difficulty is in opening the casing, first timer, has a 90% chance of damaging the casing and also breaking the ribbon cables and connectors.
But you can get brandnew Tosiba Hardisk off eBay for about US$80 or less.
Another suggestion is to swap the HD with a SSD, it is more expensive, but very reliable, durable and uses less power,

IPod is very slow

Since updating, my ipod runs VERY slow... anything i try to go into takes a few seconds to load, scrolling is very slow etc...
what's wrong?

My brand new 60GB iPod takes 20 seconds or more sometimes to start playing a song. Sometimes while it's in one of these pauses, it then skips over the first track and jumps to the second track of an album or a playlist. I'm not having problems with scrolling speed, just when starting to play music.
Once it gets playing it seems fine as long as I don't skip from track to track. I don't know how it performed without the new firmware, because the minute I took it out of the package and connected it to iTunes, I was prompted to update. Also, I immediately dumped 44GB of music into it, but it seems silly that that would cause this, it's meant to hold up to 60GB (55GB really) of music?

My photoshop cs6 seems to be running very slow lately--not sure why? [was:question-please help]

My photoshop cs6 seems to be running very slow lately--not sure why?

Have you tried resetting your PRAM?
Shut the Mac down.
Holding the Cmd+Opt+P+R keys, press the power button.
Listen for the "startup chime" to sound three times and release the keys.
It should run better after it finishes booting up.

My MacBook Pro is running very slow with the wheel constantly spinning. Can anyone please help?!?!

My MacBook is running very slow and the wheel is constantly spinning. It's not just using the internet as it takes forever to start, open programs, etc. It is even taking me a long time to type in this question as the spinning wheel keeps coming up. Below is the EtreCheck.   I would appreciate it if someone could please help me!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

TestStand 3.0 Is Running Very Slow?

Hi All
I have built an application using TestStand 3.0 and LabVIEW 7.1. This application is running as an executable on the target machine (i.e only the TestStand deployment and LabVIEW runtime engine is installed on the target machine).
The program has been working fine for 2 months, however 2 days a go i noticed that when the machine is re-booted and TestStand is loaded it takes approx 2-3 minutes to load up I.e. get to the log in screen), everything is now running very slow even to the point of selecting a menu option from TestStands menu bar i.e. Report Option, it will take approx 20-30 seconds for it to load the dialog box?
The PC it is running on has 80% free disk space and allot of spare memory.
Has anyone else seen this problem or has any ideas of what might have changed?
I have uninstalled my application and the problem is still there i am now debating whether i should remove and re-install all the NI software, but this may fix the problem but will not provide me with an answer to what has happened.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Daniel

Hi Allen
Thanks for your reply, i will answer your questions:
Are you using network paths in your search directories? If so, try moving them down in the search directory order so they are near the end.
Ans: No, all search directory paths use the local C Drive. I only have 3 custom paths added.
Are any other applications on your machine slow like this?
Ans: No, all other applications e.g Windows Explorer, MAX etc, all work fine, it is only TestStand which is slow.
I am struggling to understand what and how could have been corrupted to cause this to happen.
Best Regards
Daniel

Time Machine Running VERY SLOW

I am using a 2 TB G-Drive for Time Machine.
I've been getting "disk full" messages for some time and the drive is is currently showing 47 GB free.
Today (at least that's the first I noticed it,) Time Machine is running VERY SLOW.
Looking at the drive the light with flash bright about once every 3 or 4 seconds.
Looking at the Time Machine status, it has been trying to backup 30 GB for several hours and has only backed up less than 10 GB.
My question is could this be caused by the drive being full or could it be the drive is about to go out.
In either case, if I get a new (larger) drive, will I be able to retrieve older files from this drive if necessary?
Thanks in advance.
Chuck

I finally re-booted at about 4:20 PM which seemed to clear up the issue, so this may be moot.

You're in the wrong forum. Post your question here:https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_stud io
They will want to know what kind of clips you're working with – like whether it is h.264 – as well as how your system is configured.

Mini HP laptop running on Windows 7 - runs very slow

I have a mini HP Laptop. It runs VERY slow and when I am typing, the buffer is WAY behind me. Also, when trying to view videos online - eg. You Tube, everything is in slow motion or freezes. Same with Skype and Facebook. Slower than the old dial up internet!!!!
The operating system is Windows 7 which came loaded with the laptop.

Hello Seachange51,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I understand that your notebook is functioning very slowly, and I would be happy to guide you towards a resolution! To begin, I will need to ask you a few questions:
What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop computer?
Has your computer completed all of its important Windows Updates?
Have you updated your HP drivers using the HP Support Assistant?
Is this an on-going, or recent issue?
In the meantime, I recommend following this document on Improving System Performance without Adding Memory (Windows 7). This should help improve the speed and efficiency of your notebook.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!
Regards

Mac os x lion 10.7 on mac book pro not updating and running very slow

i am using mac os x lion 10.7
problem it is not updating and running very slow. How to improve?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
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 procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long 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.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the built-in 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.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

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). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

My application is running very slow

Hey gurus
My Application is running very slow at which point i need to go about the daatbase in order to improve the performance.
Thanks in Advance

Try to investigate what is the problem. Try running for example STATSPACK, gathering statistics for application schema
There is no golden rule: my application is running slowly - do these steps and it will fly.
You have to investigate what is the bottleneck in your system and try to improve it. You can use statspack as a start
becasue it is quite easy. Also ask yourself question if your application was performing good yesterday if yes wheat was changed from yesterday

Imac is running very slow

I've got a 24" imac with the 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo and 4 GBs of ram. In January I did a software update and the imac hasn't run the same since. At first I had problems booting up. I would get a file folder with a question mark in the middle. I thought the hard drive had gone bad so I replaced it with a new ssd. I did a new install with snow leopard and have only installed one other program- google chrome. Everything else on the machine is stock leopard software. I have everything backed up with time machine on an external drive. I assumed all of my problems would go away with the new drive/ reinstall but they haven't. I can boot up now like normal but now the imac runs very slow. If I run one application everything is mostly fine but when I try to run something else the spinning beach ball pops up. This will last anywhere from 10-60 seconds. Example- I run google chrome with one tab open and I try and run itunes the computer will freeze up for a few seconds. Then I will try and kill itunes and it will freeze up again. When I am finally able to exit itunes chrome will run normal.
Any help/ thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jacob

Usually OWC's RAM is just fine however they will probably acknowledge the issue and if pressed will upgrade you to Samsung RAM. However first let's try 2 things. If they don't resolve your problem remove one of the DIMMs so you have 12GB installed:
1. Do a SMC reset (instructions below)
2. In Disk Utility Repair Disk Permissions
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Test to see if the problem has been resolved.

On opening up PSE9 it runs very slow, Why?

When I open up my recently installed PSE9 program it runs very slow. all photos etc load up and are visable but it almost feels like there is a program running in the background. The cursor moves very slow and in a delayed way. I mostly have photos and very few videos, projects etc but just in case I go to view and uncheck vidoes, PDF, projects etc just in case this is what is slowing everything down but it doesn"t change anything. Nothing else is running while I am in PSE. Previuosly I was working with version 8 and I did not have this problem. Can someone help me with this this annoying problem that is keeping me from using PSE 9. Thanks Rey

Since I installed Mavericks, my safari browser is running very slow.

Since I installed Mavericks, my safari browser is running very slow.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same?
What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
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?
