Hi,
Your machine is NOT a gaming machine therefore we (I'm not a HP employee) don't expect it could play that game. You may want to read few comments down here:

Update will not connect to server, continuous lagging and questionable security?

I actually have a few questions. I recently switched to Firefox from IE9 for a few reasons. My IT Security professor mentioned Firefox was safer than most and an online article suggested it was faster than IE9. So I decided to give it a chance; the previous version was too slow and wouldn't play any video so I downloaded version 4. It worked great for about 3-4 weeks and now I'm having the following problems:
1. Every time Firefox says it has to update, the window pops up to connect to server. All it does is continuously try to connect (nothing happens). Now, one time I left it open all day to see if it would and that night a window popped up and said to restart Firefox to complete. I did what it said and it just started trying to connect to the server again.
2. When I first downloaded Firefox 4 it was fast and almost never lagged. Now, it seems as if every page I try to connect to lags. In fact, sometimes I have to close it down and restart. It's actually normal pages I open everyday like school, mail, weather and typical Yahoo pages. Nothing has changed on my end, so I'm unaware of why this is happening now.
3. I'm really concerned with the security issues. I still have IE9; recently, because of lagging and security issues, I've tried switching between the two to check cleaning details. I'll run my cleaner after a day of IE9 and do the same for Firefox (same typical searches). With IE9, there's not much to clean, maybe 17-18 mb's at most (cookies, typical stuff) and never had a virus. The CPU monitor also stays calm. On Firefox, I get 160-210 mb's every time. The CPU gauge fluctuates constantly and I've had three viruses.
I'm not sure if it's because the updates will not take or what, but I've had to switch back to IE9 because of these problems. I really enjoyed Firefox (when it worked); the interface was easy to navigate and use and in the beginning was very fast. I miss it! But because of these issues, I have to take a break until they are fixed. I can't afford to have my computer crash. Please help!

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Since downloading Yosemite, I have had performance, battery, and overheating issues. Help?

Hello,
I've been quite unfortunate with my laptop (Macbook Pro Early 2011) ever since downloading the Yosemite OS. It has been plagued with extremely slow speeds when running basically anything, the fan runs constantly, and the battery drains at a rate of 1% every minute it seems. I can typically only get an hour or 2 out of my MBP without having to run and find an outlet.
The performance is extremely slow when opening apps, but not so bad once they are open and running. However, switching apps (e.g. from Chrome to iTunes) causes a long lag and leaves me unproductive. Some apps don't even open. It takes about 5 minutes to open one app, and about 15 minutes on average to use my computer once again after restarting.
I've looked at various other discussions where people had problems, but each situation seemed unique with no solution working for everyone. I used Etrecheck to analyze my computer, but not knowing a lot about computers, I didn't find a solution. Below you will find the data. Any insight or solutions would help so much! I hate always having to be plugged in and burning my legs when my laptop is on my lap.

More iMac sleep and overheating problems - any ideas?

My iMac is about 2.5 years old now. It was working fine until the power supply had problems and was replaced under warranty. It then had could not mount DVDs or CDs and that was replaced under warranty, at the same time it was performing really, really slow, and then give me the spinning beachball for few hours straight before I had to turn off the machine by holding down the power button. The technician ignored that problem and I got my computer back partially fixed; the DVD drive was replaced and in his limited testing the computer did not lock up so he returned it to me.
After a few days of use I then took the computer back again and he agreed the motherboard had to be replaced.
While waiting for the motherboard to be replaced, I had extraordinary faith that my computer would come back in perfect working order: I ordered Leopard.
Before upgrading to Leopard I decided to back everything up using SuperDuper so I could restore if I had problems with the upgrade. As a new father I have tons of photos and my son's iWeb page that I could not risk losing. My previous hardware issues made me act more prudently; I was lucky to have done that.
Unfortunately the old motherboard was replaced with one that had more problems; after a few days of light use I upgraded to Leopard and was greeted with immediate kernel panics (grey screen of death). I restored from SuperDuper backup and tried again: same problem.
Since I have lots of stuff on my system I decided to do a clean install: problem solved. I then started importing and consolidating my iPhoto libraries from my old G4 tower and my old "backup" system. The machine would overheat go to sleep after only importing a few photos or give me the spinning beach ball while typing in mail (when it was the only program open).
After researching the situation one the internet I realized that many people have similar problems and I ended up installing "Temperature Monitor" to find out the temperature of my computer. The reported temperature of my computer is regularly hovering between 76 C - 85 C (169F - 185F). If the machine is idle the temperature is still very warm at 64 C (147F). I reset the SMU but that did not have an effect. I then found out the diagnostic test of the 4th LED that would turn on if the machine detected a heating problem. This test is intrinsically flawed since it can only be done with the case open so the heat can easily escape to the room (note both fans do work).
I then took the machine in to serviced again. The problem would be easily solved if I lived in the United States or Canada, but I live in El Salvador. The only Apple Certified Technician (at least for warranty repairs that I know of) may be a little tired of trying to fix my computer (I can sympathize with him as I am tired of having it needing to be fixed).
I dropped off the machine and 2 weeks later (I have learned to be patient for parts to come to this country) I called for an update. It turns out my computer is "fine". I went to pick it up and he performed the 4th LED test in an air conditioned room (with an open case obviously), copied a few files, opened some problems and it worked fine in his limited testing in an air conditioned building. He also said Leopard may have caused some problems.
I have no faith in that computer right now so everything I do is on my 8 year old G4 "Gigabit Ethernet" tower. I have upgraded the CPU twice from 400 MHz to 800 MHz and then to 1.3 GHz over the years and put in 768 Mb of ram (as an aside I just ordered 512 Mb more ram as it is now my primary computer to edit video).
I have videotaped the computer acting incredibly unresponsive and slow and am exporting it (currently 277 more minutes for 15 minute video) and overheating. It did not "sleep" when I had chance to tape it, may try again later (currently restoring 10.4.11 backup on iMac so technician cannot blame a clean install of Leopard).
I called AppleCare and they were supportive with my problems and I hope to take in the computer again soon.
Exasperated in El Salvador . . .

Strongly suggest that you contact/call Customer Relations.
Relay to them what you stated in your post. With all those repairs, you may be entitled to a new iMac.
Sorry, I do not know the phone number of Customer Relations in your country. You may need to contact AppleCare & ask firmly & politely to be transferred to CR.
Good luck!

Configure 5500s w/ LAG and HA

Working on a pre-deployment setup for a pair of 5508's that are to be used in HA. Network information should be as follows:
WLC_1: 192.168.100.200 (HA primary)
Redundancy Managent 192.168.100.202
WLC_2: 192.168.100.201 (HA secondary)
Redundancy Managent 192.168.100.203
These are both connected to a 3750X w/ the following port layout
WLC_1 Port 1 --> Gi 1/0/1
Port 2 --> Gi 1/0/2
RP --> Gi 1/0/5
WLC_2 Port 1 --> Gi 1/0/11
Port 2 --> Gi 1/0/12
RP --> Gi 1/0/6
I've gone through the wizard choosing NO for LAG and for HA, with the expectation that I would do this after(I also tried it choosing both in the wizard, and then one or the other). When doing so, I'm able to get to both the primary and secondary (both ports temporarily connected to non-lag ports on the switch) from a machine on the same lan (there is currently no gateway as this is on my desk for setup).
When I issue a "config lag enable", save the config, reboot the controller and move the cables to the correct ports on the switch I'm unable to get any communication to the controller. Below is what I have for the interface config on the controller:
config interface address management 192.168.100.200 255.255.254.0 192.168.100.20
config interface dhcp management primary 192.168.100.20
The switch config is as follows:
interface Port-channel1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 100
switchport mode trunk
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 100
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode on
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 100
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode on
I've used this in the past on 2504's and 4400's so not sure if i missed a 5500 specific item. I didn't disable any ports and verified that all ports are enabled on the controller. So I reverted the changes and tried to enable HA using the following config:
WLC_1
config redundany unit primary
config interfac address redundancy-management 192.168.100.202 peer-redundancy-management 192.168.100.203
config redundancy mode sso
WLC_2
config redundancy unit secondary
config interface address redundancy-management 192.168.100.203 peer-redundancy-management 192.168.100.202
config redundancy mode sso
After the reboot I'm unable to ping either controller using the management address. The controllers can ping each other on their 169.254.x.x address, but I'm unable to access them from the LAN.

Hi Scott,
Yes I did.. But it seems that after deselecting the "Interface/Interface Group(G)" under the SSID´s and then selecting the dynamic interface again that the problem is resolved.

10.8.3 rendered my MBP to lag and freeze (and other issues)

Okay. I have a Macbook Pro 9,1 (non-retina, Mid-2012). After installing 10.8.3 through App Store, my computer begins to lag, and it would completely freeze in about 2 hours or so. It starts with one application 'not responding' and it would spread to other applications. When I try to Force Quit, that Force Quit window would freeze as well. None of my keyboard, track pad etc would work. I had to force shut down by holding the Power button.
I have done the following:
Restart
Restart with 'Reopen Windows when logging back in' off
SMC Reset
PRAM Reset
Hardware Test
Disk Permission Repair
Repair Disk
Reinstall OS
Reinstall using COMBO Update
fsck -fy in Single User Mode
I also checked the ~Library/Logs/Diagnostic Log and Uninstalled (with official uninstaller) EyeConnect (who crashed in the background for about 8 times during my 24hrs use of 10.8.3.)
While going through that list, I found issues in kernel_task taking up a lot of RAM (1+ GB in normal mode) (~400 GB in safe mode). The free RAM would also be miniscule just before the multiple freezes I had.
Booting through Safe mode, after about 2 minutes or so after boot, My RAM looks like this:
(No Free Space, Wired taking up 6GB...) The Animation would be very choppy and I would be using Nvidia Graphics Card (GT-650M) instead of Intel Graphics 4000, when nothing graphic intensive is up. Some Post floating in the Support Communities also mentioned how the VRAM for Intel Graphics 4000 shrunk from 512MB to 384MB. I think I have the same problem as well.
I've been to Apple Store/Genius Bar Twice: They basically said I should wipe the computer and hope for the best. They also checked my Hardware, and it seems alright.
I thought of rolling back to 10.8.2 through Time Machine, but for some reasons, my HDD (through Thunderbolt) would not mount when booted from the recovery partition. It's there in Disk Utility, just won't mount. When accessing the HDD through USB 3.0, my most recent back-ups are not present, with the most recent update from March 2nd. (March 3rd ~ March 18th Missing.)This shouldn't be the case, as I back up multiple times every day. I am also able to view the recent dates through Time Machine ('Enter Time Machine' from the menu bar).
I think the only thing left I could do would be Rolling back to March 2nd or Wiping my computer to factory settings. Both I'm quite reluctant to do so, for obvious reasons.
Hypothesis on the issue: I think it's the RAM management gone wrong, causing the computer to lag+freeze so much. I predict the wipe won't help much. But we won't know what will happen unless we do it, I guess...
Did I mention about the sleep problems I had before 10.8.3? I'll skip those since it's not fatal, but they're not resolved in 10.8.3 as well. I installed 10.8.3 hoping to solve those problems, only to get even more problems Help Please? Thanks!

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 keeps lagging and crashing

My Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 keeps lagging and crashing to a point where I cannot do my job. When I open my premiere file, I can work on my timeline for maybe two or three minutes before it lags, freezes, and then finally crashes. I'm at a loss of what exactly is causing my problem because I edit primarily H.264 files and my sequences are not complex in any sense of the word. I've been dealing with this for days and I cannot seem to find a solution. If anyone has any advice please let me know because I am desperate. Thank you.

Mac book air connects to internet w/ lag and drops

my macbook air has been working for the past year, but recently my internet has been lagging and disconnecting by itself every 30 seconds. all my computers connect through a router and modem but only the mac air is having internet problems. it keeps saying "the page cannot be displayed" even though airport shows that it is connected to the internet. (note: the mac air works flawlessly when I connect to other wifi locations outside of home)
router: netgear
all the things I've tried.
-editing keychain settings
-deleting my network and creating a new one
-resetting modem and router
-resetting airport
-changing dns and ip settings
-resetting the mac air
-turning off bluetooth
-changing browser settings
-smashing the router around
nothing has worked....
p.s. there was one day where I changed my router and it worked for one day, the next day it didn't work again.

What are your wireless encryption settings? WEP, WPA2? Have you tried it with no encryption? Was it faster? Sometimes if you have rearranged the room or moved the router, interference can start. I also would download istumbler and see if you have neighbors using the same or adjacent channels. It will also show you the noise on your Netgear. Maybe this will bring some ideas to you:

Skype increasing lagging and using too much CPU

Hello,
Since Oct 15 which is approximately when I was upgraded to version 6.9(517) I have noticed that Skype has been lagging very badly. It starts as very tiny lags and eventually over an hour or two the lagging increases to 4-6 second lags. The person on the other end will be talking and in mid sentence Skype will stop (freeze up), the timer on the call will halt, and in 4-6 seconds I will hear the other half of the sentence. While all this was happening I noticed while I was running the "top" command on the command line that my CPU usage would spike anywhere from 60% to more than 100% on Skype. The lagging and freezing would happen approximately every 20 seconds or so. I also noticed when trying to hang up the call and having the other person call me back that even the "ring tone" that is played when a call comes in was lagged and froze in the middle only to resume a few seconds later. It seems the over usage of the CPU might be the culprit but I'm not sure. I've tried everything from resetting the router, reinstalling Skype, clearing out my User/Application/Preferences/com.skype.skype.plist and also the shared.xml in the Application Support/Skype directory. Oh, also once the lagging gets very bad I am unable to close Skype without force closing it. Anyone have any suggestions? This only started a few days ago and prior to that I have zero issues with Skype on a Mac.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've been spreading the word since my friend found out a solution!
A friend of mine in IT googled and it so far it seems to have eliminated the constant lag I've been getting every 20-30 seconds.
Here it goes:
Close skype completely.
Type in your spotlight: Terminal (black box looking icon)
Press enter then type in exactly:
cd ~/Library/caches/
Press enter again and then type in exactly:
sudo rm -d -v -r com.skype.skype
WARNING: It will give you a notice of caution that it could delete files, stay calm, all is good (I panicked too), then it'll ask you to type in your password (this refers to your actual mac password: the one you use to make changes to programs, give permission for installations, etc.)
Following the entering of your password there will be a giant wall of text, tons of code that you will not understand. Wait till this finishes (stops) and close terminal. Then proceed to re-open skype. Problem should be fixed! Ta-da!
Be sure to check activity monitor to compare your now normal % CPU levels to the abnormal ones that you were having before !
Goodluck and please let me know if it helps!

Firefox lags and freezes several times in an hour - How to fix?

I've read up on the forums and nothing seems to be describing what I'm experiencing with Firefox.
The last 3-4 days I've had several instances where Firefox lags or completely freezes up when switching between tabs. It will still somewhat work but it's ridiculously slow.
For example, it WILL eventually go to that tab, but it will take a minute, and then nothing on the page will work for a minute, so on and so on. Sometimes a black screen will appear where the text should be. Sometimes it stays black, sometimes the page eventually loads. It was only one website so I thought maybe that page was having issues until today when it started happening on several other websites.
It's happening quite often and it's driving me crazy. I only had an error message once, early on when this started. Since then it just seems to lag and freeze, lag and freeze, over and over without giving me an error message until I get fed up and close out of it. Upon start up again, it works fine for a bit.
I don't use any toolbars. I updated Windows and my drivers. Computer has been restarted several times since this started.
I'd appreciate any suggestions!

Hello EMA1, try to run [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode firefox in safe mode], works ?
If firefox in safe mode has the same behavior then, try to boot your win 8 computer in [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2809468/en-us Windows Safe Mode with network support] and check firefox again. Any luck ?
thank you

Graphics, caching and performance - how to address a lag and stutter?

I'm in the middle of developing an interactive story that I'm intending to cross deploy to a number of tablets - starting with the iPad. Instead of a classic page-turn style story, this is told on a long paper scroll, with the user panning left and right (and some times up and down) along the story.
All graphics are rendered as flat 3D panes using native 3D in Flash and move in a parallax fashion, kind of giving the effect of watching theatre flats change as you read. As such, I understand that they're already being rendered as bitmaps and the app is taking advantage of GPU rendering on the iPad. None of the graphics have their visibility set to false, and all of them are added to the stage (even if they're a good few pixels off to the right at the beginning) on the first frame. They're also all on the root stage and have no nested display objects.
The issue I'm finding is a noticeable lag and jump when new objects are about to come in from off screen for the first time. After they've been seen, the application runs quite smoothly. Obviously poor performance on first opening is a real problem though. I feel that this is probably a caching issue, but can't work out how to go about addressing it. Any ideas?
A few further notes:
All graphics in the story share a class that includes cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix to ensure that the GPU acceleration can be taken advantage of
Am compiling to AIR 2.5 and using the packager directly from Flash CS5. Have tried 2.6 and it's actually noticeably slower
Once an image has been rendered on the screen it tends not to cause a lag the next time it's displayed. I tried having them all on the front at the beginning and then clearing them to try to force them into the cache - didn't seem to make a difference
All graphics are separate PNG files at the moment. I haven't tried pushing them all into a sprite sheet or three yet, think that might help?
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can suggest.
Tom

Hi Tom,
This is likely because the GPU has limited memory, and the biggest bottleneck with a GPU is copying data to it.
From the sounds of it the delay occurs when this happens (i.e. images just about to come on to the screen are loaded in to the GPU).
You could solve it (just thinking aloud here) by placing an instance of each image that is about to come on to the stage on the stage but under another image (e.g. under the backgroudn image) to force it to preload into the GPU. Instead of placing them hidden on the stage, creating an instance in actionscript and storing it in a vector may also work? Though perhaps these are not cached until they are added to the display list.
However, it may be likely that the number of images you have may exceed the capacity of the GPU anyway and this might not help. I have also seen mentioned that the new Flash Player (iOS) is smart enough to recognise when images are fully hidden (i.e. behind a background image) and not cache or display them.
So if you had the following pages (mostly vertical but some horizontal):
ABC
D
EF
G
H
You would perhaps do something like:
ABC (cache: D)
D (cache: ABC EF)
EF (cache: D G)
G (cache EF H)
H (cache: G)
Sorry I don't have any definitive answers, just something to try.
hope it helps!

PrP cc2014 crashing, lagging, and buggy

Since updating to CC2014, my Premiere Pro has been crashing more often, and overall just more glitchy (issues that didn't happen in CC). Here are some examples...
-after quitting premiere, the application won't quit, it shows "not responding" in activity monitor, and I have to force quit, or it gives me an error like this...
"Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x000000004d5554a0"
-Occasionally while watching footage the video will freeze, audio will continue to play, but I can't view any video. I can scrub the timeline, and click files, but I can't see any video. I have to quit the program and return. this has happened with different timeline settings (both avcintra and prores422) with different cameras (RED footage, panasonic, canon, etc).
-Just about every 30 minutes prp starts to lag and go really slow. Every time I click i get the dreaded spinning beach ball for about 5 seconds, and then it comes back. it's like editing in slow motion: click... wait.... click... wait.... click... wait.... click... etc etc. I have checked activity monitor and closed everything that is running.
-Sometimes my entire system freezes up (on different clips and in different projects)- the mouse doesn't move, the keyboard doesn't do anything, I've left it for over 30 minutes to see if it will come back, and I always have to hard restart.
really frustrating because this is happening across multiple projects, with different cameras, and different settings (which makes it hard to explain exactly what is happening because it always seems like something new is buggy)
here is my setup...
Premiere CC 2014- 8.0.0 (169)
OSX 10.9.4
3.4 GHZ i7
12gb ram
AMD Radeon HD 6970M graphics card
I have deleted preference files. Deleted quicktime codec files. I have tried with and without GPU acceleration.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Seems all forum it's having issues with this new release of Premiere, I just wanted to point out something nobody said before, and could be related with the poor performance while editing.
I installed yesterday a Ram monitor software on a new Mac Pro with 64gb of Ram and I just play around with a 2h sequence with footage from RED, 5D and C300. After 15min (more or less) I had 200mb of free Ram.
Hope the adobe team can solve all this bugs soon and we all can be able to work without problems, are they really looking into it or just posting things like "Choose Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache"

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!! ADOBE SHOCKWAVE SLOW, Lagging, and I NEED URGENT HELP!!

Hello everybody, and how are you all doing on this wonderful Friday?
Today after doing research on the support website for Adobe ShockWave flash player, I'm here as a last resourt.
Allow me to explain the issue!
WARNING:
THIS IS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY LONG, BUT I NEED HELP VERY VERY BADLY!!
I've waisted people's time because of this issue.
I'm using an HP Windows 7 Laptop with latest version of Windows 7!
I have Adobe ShockWave 11.7 the LATEST VERSION and It is a great program.
However in one of my simulators which is a V500 Evita Ventilator simulator from the company Drager, the performance is HORRID, and when I say horrid, I mean HORRID TIMES 30 and then some.
Keep in mind that this has been tested by the company on other computers, and it works just fine, however on mine the waveforms and data is choppy, slow and what it will do is it will be working smoothly one second, the next second It lags and then catches up, then lags again, and It basically drags along miserably. I used this program online and then when I contacted Drager the owners of the simulator, they thought I get a DVD of the simulator. THEY GAVE IT TO ME FREE OF CHARGE. I got it, and It was still slow and Jerky. I had used Google Chrome to use the simulator online HOWEVER, when I used the DVD, It was still slow. I have a LOAD of computer space, and have tried uninstalling Adobe Shockwave, Reinstalling it, then doing that several times. NOTHING. NOW WHAT??
I'm desperate right now. When I say DESPERATE, THIS HAS GOT TO BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLY POSSIBLE.
ASAPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there some setting I can adjust?
Or SOMETHING???
The thing is other things that require Adobe Shockwave work just fine. I use a lot of simulators.
Its just this simulator.
PLEASE RESPOND!!
THANK YOU, and God bless.

Shockwave Flash = Flash Player (11.7)
This is the Shockwave Player (v12) forum.
Please post your messages in the proper forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer
