IQuiz goes very very slow...

I have the game iQuiz, I have 2060 songs on my iPod. When I advance to another level in Music Quiz 2, the loading icon in front of the the big red X and green checkmark does not move much. More like, 1/4 turn at the most. Also, the when I complete a Lighting Round, it shows correct answers I missed that didn't even show up. My friend who only has 1000 songs on his iPod, does not face this problem, also, he says that the Lighting Round goes by really fast when for me it moves very slow. Is this a bug, or do I just have more music than iQuiz and quickly handle?

Hi Juan,
Well, that's definitely a possibility (having a lot of music on your iPod, which might slow up iQuiz).
To improve your iPod's speed, you could try restoring it, and see if that helps.
For info on restoring an iPod, see this article:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
If a restore doesn't help, then probably the best thing you can do at this point is to report your problem on the iPod Feedback form:
iPod Feedback
iQuiz seems to be a bit of a problematic game, and has been proven to interfere with your iPod's OS and settings. For example, I've seen several reports where, when playing iQuiz with music, iQuiz automatically switches your "Repeat" setting to "On".
So, if we get enough reports of the iQuiz problems to Apple, they may release some sort of updated version of the game, for bug fixes, or perhaps a new version of iPod firmware.

Apple store installed optical drive replacement. It plays CD and DVD but will not let me change a DVD to .mp4 without stalling and or going very very slow. Can I fix the HL-DT-STDVDRW GA11NR?

Apple store installed optical drive replacement. It plays CD and DVD but will not let me change a DVD to .mp4 without stalling and or going very very slow. Can I fix the HL-DT-STDVDRW GA11NR? The Apple store is a two hundred mile one way trip.

I didn't imply anything; I simply explained the terms of the ToU here because you had not specified what you were trying to do. Most such related questions are about copying protected content and I would not appreciate having my post removed with the obligatory email from Apple because I violated the ToU. In any case, you can find dozens of threads googling (or here) about the newer burners being slow copying content if it is protected. FWIW, if the DVD was produced by a commercial outfit, they may have used some sort of protection or an unusual file format - that problem has been discussed here previously.
As for your slow burner - since we don't even know what type of Mac/model/year/OS you have, it is impossible to guess. If it's an iMac, those vertically installed burners are known to be less than perfect; the horizontally installed versions are better, but still not as good as an external. I've used an external burner for years.
As for the conversion time: the burner should have nothing to do with that; it is your software and your Mac's processor and amount of RAM that matter for conversions and rendering. I have no idea what you are using to burn the DVD. And, as a last consideration: you should always burn your content at a slow speed so you can avoid burn errors and have better results.
Good luck.

TS1398 since i have updated the latest software i am facing problem using wifi which is very very slow most of the time or wont connect at all was that update supposed to be for better or worse

is apple product going down hill it seems their updates are creating a lot of problem now the wifi connection is really ******* me off it doesnt connect or even if it does its very very slow i used to love using iphone but i think its time to move on to something else they have taken everyone for granted

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Mark.
I've never come across your first problem on any of the Apple notebooks I currently own (or have owned in the past). Then again, perhaps I'm not looking close enough.
Have you compared it with any other 12" PowerBook? If not, perhaps you might be able to try that at a local store with units on display.
Otherwise you might want to give AppleCare a call. Alternatively, if you have an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider near you (I don't know where you are located) then you can take it in to be checked.
As for your second problem (uneven illumination), that has been known to afflict other notebooks. My own 15" PB has had its screen replaced on two occasions because of this. Depending on the severity, you might be able to get it replaced. Mine became so bad that the screen was effectively unusable.
To be honest, here in the UK, I would actually try for a replacement PowerBook - if the problems were severe enough and also because your PB is still very new. However the consumer laws in your country (wherever that may be) might be very different to mine.

Firefox (3.6.10) is very sluggish/slow and hangs up

All of a sudden Firefox (3.6.10) is very sluggish/slow and hangs up
I've been using Firefox (very actively) for over a year now and all of a sudden (yesterday) it began to act very sluggishly. On sites I have always visited frequently it hangs up for periods of 15-90 seconds or more, won't scroll down, won't open hot links, slowly opens new tabs ...
I rebooted my PC (multiple times), powered down my modem and router, ran a Norton disk optimization - essentially making sure it was not an outside factor effecting Firefox's performance. (Note: I am using a cable connection.)
I then ran a side by side speed comparison with Internet explorer (on my 2nd monitor) going to the same web sites, and IE had no problems/hang-ups.
FYI I only have a couple of add ins/extensions (Java, Microsoft Framework, Norton, No Squint, & RealPlayer) and none of those are new within the past few weeks at least.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? How to fix? (As I much prefer Firefox to any Microsoft product.)
Thanks.

Yes, FF gets sluggish from time to time. Sorry but it's the fact! FF also cannot render some websites properly (especially v3.6.10). I'm a big fan of all Mozilla software but FF 3.6.10 makes me very disappointed.

Reasons why CS6 is running very very slow?

I have InDesign CS6 and the program is running extremely slow. I have googled and tried all troublshooting options but still cannot even highlight a sentence without it taking 30 seconds. Just going from one document to the next takes a very very long time. Besides for turning preflight off and other tricks is there anything else I can do to fix this problem?

Are you working documents from an older version of Indesign? I found that even though the document is "converted" Indesign CC has major problems with any older version's files.
I had to convert all my old files by copying masters and pages to a new, blank indesign cc document. All the speed issues went away.
Unfortunately, even though you can open the file, I don't feel it's compatible because you can't really work at that speed and still be profitable.
But hope that helps...

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) VERY VERY VERY Slow

Hi Folks,
First, let me start to say I am an IT Professional by trade and know a thing or two about fixing PC/Macs, but this one is stumping me. A friend has a 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro that started to run very very very slow. I figured it was just a bad mechanical drive and figured swapping it out with a new SSD would be the fix. Well, that didn't work and I couldn't even partition the new drive. I figured maybe I had a DOA drive, so I connected the new drive via a SATA to USB adapter to another Mac and a PC and it runs great. I researched the error I got during formating and it was recommended to replace the SATA flex cable. The part took about a week to arrive, so the battery fully died. I couldn't get the Mac wouldn't power up after replacing the SATA cable and I didn't get a charge light either. I figured OK, maybe I have a bad power cord, so I tried another and didn't work either. I can only get it to power up with a 85w charger, but it doesn't seem the battery is charing either. OK, so we have power but it's acting weird... and now I could format the drive. Thought that was it and I could call this one done. I thought the install was running very slow (maybe 15 minutes to preload all the setup files) but I still let the setup routine run over night. Woke up the next day and the setup was still running! I am running out of ideas what is going on with this MacBook Pro. Any ideas??

jmkalfut,
I have the same model MacBook Pro as your friend. Regarding the speed of the setup, one possibility is that the new internal SATA cable is also faulty. What I don’t understand is the logic in this part of your post:
The part took about a week to arrive, so the battery fully died.
Why would the time it took to deliver the new internal SATA cable be the cause of its battery fully dying? Since you’re currently able to get the MacBook Pro to run by using a 85 W charger, what information is shown about the battery in System Information when it’s running? Perhaps its battery needs to be replaced? Have you tried using a different 60 W charger, to see if the original charger needs to be replaced?

Address Book is very very slow and mixes up data

Address Book has been mixing up addresses. Many contacts have phone numbers and email addresses from other contacts. It's also become very, very slow. For example, making any change brings on about 30 to 60 seconds of the spinning ball.
How do I fix it? What's going on with this thing?

You are not alone..
I am getting random contacts with the phone number repeating over 60 times. Deleting them is painfully slow.

Qemu with kvm is very, very slow

Hi!
I first installed kvm by following http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kvm
And I also tried the "using qemu with kvm support" method from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU
With both methods, a VM is very, very slow (when i start an iso, you literally see it render the things, and after that when you get the grub menu, it takes ages for the pointer to move if you press the arrow keys).
I'm on a Dell laptop with Intel C2D cpu with VT support (and enabled in bios, I checked)

anyone an idea?

try qemu-kvm-0.10.5, it's the stable qemu with additional kvm support:

also, in the qemu monitor you can check to see if kvm is used with "info kvm" .. should return "kvm support: enabled"
finally, the grub menu is using old BIOS APIs and cpu pooling since it's running in 16bit mode with no drivers. It uses up 100% of one of my cores when I leave a VM on the grub menu. Make sure you run a serious OS soon and check performance there.
Thanks
- i am using 0.10.5 (this is the version that Arch has packaged)
- it says kvm enabled, and you're right, once it goes out of grub, it goes much faster!
- apparently my keyboard arrows are just plainly being ignored

Macbook is acting very very slow.....

Not long ago I noticed that my Macbook was prone to acting slowly from time to time, which seemed to be okay until a couple of days ago when the whole system bogged down entirely. After managing to restart my system, by pushing the power button until the Macbook turned off, the system then labored for several minutes to get to the main Macbook screen, and when it finally did I couldn't click on anything or make the Mac work at all other then seeing the main screen. After several attempts to repair it using several methods, I finally was able to archive my information and go back to my old Mac startup disc, which is model 10.5.2 since my Macbook is about a year and a half old.
Anyway, this allowed me to once again navigate around my computer but everything still goes at a very very slow pace, and will hesitate frequently for several seconds before continuing, like while typing out a message, for example. Also, I get an error message stating that "the application MTWB Product quit unexpectedly" and no matter if I choose to ignore, report, or relaunch this message keeps appearing. I was just about ready to upgrade to Snow Leopard too so this has very strange timing to it in a way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying anything in order to fix this mysterious problem.
Message was edited by: Chris Hedden

The hard drive is 148.7 GB's and there is 93.8 GB's to spare.
I have used disc utility to verify and attempt to repair the disc, which it said was not necessary since the disc was apparently fine. However when attempting to verify or repair disc permissions it says there is a certain amount of time remaining but after a lengthy period of time it doesn't finish the job.
Other then recent file downloads such as FLAC music files I have not added any applications or new software other then a downloader for FLAC files called xAct which is usually fine for me. I was going to upgrade to Snow Leopard but I hadn't gotten to that stage yet.

Ibook very very slow.

My ibook G4 running mac os10.4.5 is running very very very slow (sometimes failing to startup altogether). This has been going on since a recent mac os update. I have been starting the ibook through my lacie external harddrive. I have run disk utility and repaired permissions, disk repair, verify and each time it says that there are no problems with the hard drive (ibook).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

dont do an uninstall-reinstall!!! macs are smart, and easy to fix.. if you do a bloody google!. heres something i found which helped immenselly, http://www.macmaps.com/Macosxspeed.html#LOGINITEMS ,i had the same issue, and also buy ram, these little things can only work so hard with what they come with (assuming you never went for the ram upgrade early on)

W/ this latest version, getting MANY "the connection was reset" pages, plus VERY VERY VERY slow loading. I'm running Windows 7 on a new Dell. What is up w/ that?

w/ this latest version, getting MANY "the connection was reset" pages, plus VERY VERY VERY slow loading. I'm running Windows 7 on a new Dell. What is up w/ that?
I don't know how else to phrase that. I'm a pretty good user, but after defragging, backing up, and getting rid of a bunch of files that "may" slow down performance of firefox, the fact is, "the connection was reset" comes up five or six times a day--AND the browser is going slow as molasses. I haven't had this much trouble since before I got my new dell.

hello whatagem123, it is never a good idea to stick with outdated versions of firefox just for the sake of addons, as this will put the integrity of your system and your the personal data on it at risk - there are various [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html known security vulnerabilities (some of them highly critical)] that were fixed in later versions!
so please [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] & [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ update your plugins] (your java plugin has security vulnerabilities that are actively and widely exploited on the web).
afterwards i'd recommend resetting firefox - this will keep your bookmarks and passwords but will get rid of most other customizations. this might well fix both the issues you've described in your question...

Internet Browsing Very, Very Slow/Incomplete Page Loads

_*The Computers:*_
MacPro 2008 dual quad core and MacBookPro 2.66 mid 2009 both running OS 10.5.8.
_*The Problem:*_
The Mac Pro which is hard wired is very very slow and many times will time out before it can load a page or will only load part of the page (lots of little boxes with question marks in them or page loads part of the way and stops)and the wheel just keeps spinning. Sometimes I can hit the x and reload and it will work just fine. Sometimes, this does not help. The MacBook Pro which is wireless behaves the same way.
_*The Internet Set Up:*_
DSL line runs from wall to Surewest (ISP) router, then out to a 5 port Dlink switch. From the switch I run straight into the Mac Pro and to the Airport Express. The Airport Express is about 2.5 years old. It runs b/g while the MacBook Pro has draft N capability. I noticed that since I replaced my older MacBook Pro which was b/g, the new one shows a much stronger signal, which is why I can't understand why its slower.
_*The Testing:*_
I don't think its my ISP because when I run speedtest.net, I get what I always get, 3mb/s download and I have run that test many, many times over the last few days. The only change has been in the ping. It used to be consistently 16-17 ms and now it varies going as high as 24-26 ms. I have no clue if that is indicative of a problem. Data downloads, including iTunes work just fine.
_*Potential Culprit:*_
The only other change was that this weekend, I downloaded xmarks (formerly foxmarks) to unify and coordinate my bookmarks across both computers. I have since run the xmarks uninstaller on both machines and deleted the online account. However, it has not made any difference.
_*Attempted Solutions:*_
I already rebooted the Airport Express and changed the channel from auto to a higher number. No effect.
_*Other Possible Solutions:*_
I will reboot the ISP modem tonight.
I am also considering uninstalling and reinstalling Safari with the thought that xmarks somehow screwed it up, but I also had the problem in Firefox in which I did not install xmarks. If I pull the Safari bookmark.plst file before I uninstall Safari, I should be able to just drop it in to the fresh install and keep my bookmarks.
Someone suggested that I switch to Open DNS. This is beyond my area of expertise so to speak, so I am a little afraid to mess with it. If one of you wouldn't mind giving me a more complete explanation and instructions, I would appreciate it.
Any other thoughts, advice or things to try? Thanks for the assistance.

Greetings,
Deleting and then reinstalling Safari is not a solution, so I would strongly advise against it. It's very rare that the application you're having a problem with using is the actual problem; rather, it's something the program relies on that is causing the problem. Instead, try this:
Quit Safari if it's running and open System Preferences>Network>Advanced.
In the DNS Server window, make sure IPv6 is turned off, and enter these two DNS servers to replace the ones you currently have (if any):
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
click Apply Now and quit System Preferences.
Next, do these things in order:
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites feature, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Disk Permisions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

Very very slow internet connection (modem: westell 327w)

hey guys, it's been 2 weeks already and my internet speed is very very slow. i checked my speed at speedtest.net and the speed is like 76kbps. i called customer service many times already but they couldnt fix the the problem, they said they're going to send a technition in about2-3 days but as you see it's been 2 weeks. of course i restarted my modem already but the speed slows down like right after a minute. i live in new york and there's no major rain on the day my internet connection slows down. i'm really tired of calling the customer service...so please help guys. thank you

If you are not useing wireless, and have no intention of useing it, I would log into the modem and turn it off. Someone else could be connecting to you router and useing your bandwidth. But not likely that is you problem.
If you are useing wireless then you should log into your modem/router and be sure you have security enabled so nobody can get into you connection.
If Verizon promised someone would come out and fix the issue, they should have given you a service order number for the repair. I would contact them and have them review you account and ask what gives? It is possible that there is a line problem and they should be able to determine that from the central office. Call tech support and insist that the problem be solved. If it requires a technician visit, ask for the order number and date when the repair will be made. Get the repair order number and insist that it be completed.

ACE running very very very SLOW

I am using Postalsoft DeskTop Mailer ver 7.90c, have updated all new directories, installed the new hot fix. Why is ACE not loading into memory (check box is checked) or if it is why is it running very very very SLOW ? I installed software on two different computers and they run exactly the same - SLOW
What do I need to do to fix this ?

Tim,
Please make sure to post any "classic Firstlogic software" questions under the Business Objects Enterprise Information Management (EIM) forum and you will get a much faster response. Also you can log a case for support by going to the Help and Support tab on the SAP website, then click on Report A Product Error to log a case for support. Just make sure to choose BOJ-EIM-COM for the component when logging a case for DeskTop Mailer, or Business Edition.
We are aware of this issue with 7.90 DeskTop Mailer and Business Edition. This is corrected in revision 4 due out this week. Please make sure to have your auto update turned on in the software so you get this fix.
Thanks,
Kendra

Mdworker process - mac is very very slow, apps not responding

A couple of days a ago, I noticed there was lots of chatter coming from the hard drive. I also noticed that the Mac Pro was very slow at doing most things, lots of beach balls and applications not responding. Right now, all I can hear is the HDD
I opened up activity monitor and noticed that a process name called - mdworker - was using 8.83GB or Real Mem and around 11.80GB of Virtual Mem. These figures fluctuate, the Virtual Mem has gone as high as 14GB. Sometimes the process goes down very low to say below a GB, then rises again.
I have 10GB of ram installed inside the mac. Furthermore, I've seen 100%of CPU use though mdworker.
I've been reading about this problem, lots of advice says to move the HDD image to the privacy pane on spotlight as this is a indexing/spotlight issue, though I still want to use spotlight.
Will this process ever end, or is there a way to stop it, as is using up all the resources?
The only thing I've installed of late is a music plug-in called Geist and an expansion pack which came with it.
Right now I can't rally use my mac like before, I'm writing this on an iPad.
Any help would be great, as the mac is integeral part of m work.

the Mac Pro was very slow at doing most things, lots of beach balls and applications not responding.
How much free drive space on the Mac?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
You can stop Spotlight from indexing > Spotlight tips
Have you emptied the Safari cache lately? From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset. Try Safari.
And try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file (preferences)
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit, relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash, If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
And try troubleshooting Safari third party plugins. Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab. Deslect: Enable plug-ins
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that made a difference, then you need to find the plugin(s) causing the problem > Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

IQuiz goes very very slow...
