Lagging experience at all interface animations in OS X Mavericks

Hi,
I am having the same problem described in the topic https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5479303?tstart=0
So I have completed the steps suggested to reset the SMC and later made a ETRE check. I have pasted the check report in here. Please suggest ways to get rid of this problem.

The last step during the installation process is to erase the installer...unfortunately. As soon as OS X has finished downloading it wants to install itself. Veterans usually quit the installer and copy it to another hard drive, a flash drive or copy it to the downloads folder before installing so they'll have a copy for emergencies.
I don't know that CleanMyMac does any damage - I tested it for my user group (on a cloned drive) and found nothing horrible about it. Just didn't see anything particularly good about it either.
Given that your computer is using a relatively slow hard drive and has only 4GB what you are seeing is pretty typical. Mavericks is happiest with a very fast hard drive and/or more RAM. My 2011 MBA is very happy with Mavericks with only 4GB but it has an SSD. When I clone to an external drive and test that drive the MBA is an entirely different (and slower) creature.
You are using two huge (and bloated) programs: MS Office and Adobe. Either one will cause your computer to use virtual memory. Add Safari or Google Chrome to the mix and you have a recipe for a case of the s-l-o-w-s. A memory upgrade is in your future.

  • Disabling interface animations and eye-candy

    Is there any way to disable the interface animations and eye-candy in Aperture. I particularly want to disable the animations that play on stacks. Opening, closing, and sorting of stacks. They are sooooo slow with stacks of 30+ images. Especially when using keyboard commands to quickly perform multiple commands on a stack — it will start to play 2 or 3 animations on top of each other and it grinds the app to a halt.

    Amen, brother!
    It would be fine to have all the spinning, swooshing, eye candy if the basic program ran well. But it's so sluggish, and there are so many performance issues on such a wide variety of hardware (just peruse the topic titles here if you have any doubt) that it's completely exasperating to have to wait for all the eye candy to execute before the program can actually do what you're asking of it.
    I've learned not to use stacks or smart albums (even touching these brings my Dualie 2.5 ghz G5 to its knees, spod city...) but there are a number of animations you trigger just in use. Would be interesting to see if turning them off speeds up the programs core functions...

  • Interface Animations (effects) are "jerky" after Software Update

    Has anyone noticed this? It seems that all of the interface animations (between screens, lock, unlock, fly in and out) are all "jerky" or jagged after the software upgrade. I've restarted, still no luck. The effects aren't smooth and free as they were before.

    I noticed a rather jerky screen at one point, but it may simply be a process or re-caching because it wasn't present next time, and no other screen seemed affected.

  • NetFlow on All Interfaces

    Hi All,
    We are using ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer to monitor our network traffic.
    We have a few VLAN interfaces on the switch where we have enabled flow-export ingress and egress. We can see traffic that is passing between the VLANs on which flow-export has been configured. However, we have on interface that is connected to remote locations. We have not enabled flow-export on this interface. The idea was that, we have enabled ingress and egress flow-export, and the remote locations connect to VLANs where flow-export is already enabled, we must get all traffic from there. But we cannot see traffic from the remote locations, but we can see traffic from inside network to remote locations.
    After checking ManageEngine documentation, I see that we have to enable netflow on all interfaces to get accurate report. Can anyone let me know why this is required. We already have ingress and egress flow-export, and we must be getting all traffic. Please suggest.
    Thanks in advance,
    Faiz

    Hello Faiz,
    As you probably know, NetFlow by default is only collected ingress.  The ingress flows collected on all interfaces are used to display the outbound traffic on a selected interface.  I don't know about ManageEngine but, in some NetFlow solutions, interfaces without NetFlow/IPFIX enabled will not be displayed regardless of whethor or not flows are going out of it.
    Regarding ingress/egress being enabled on the same interface.  If you are using flexible NetFlow to configure the export, make sure the "flow direction" is exported in the template. The commands to export both look like this:
    ip flow monitor andrew-mon input
    ip flow monitor andrew-mon output
    Here is a good article on enabling ingress and egress NetFlow. Realize that just because you export both ingress and egress on a single interface and you export the direction, this doesn't mean the NetFlow solution will report on the data with a behavior that you would expect. 
    Ingress and egress flows are exported at the same time with only one difference "flow direction".  For this reason, this element must be included in the template to ensure that utilization isn't overstated in the flow report.  Again, this of course depends on your reporting solution.  
    Many vendors can't deal with a mixture of ingress and egress flows being enabled in a seemingly random fashion on the same device.  In other words, they expect all ingress or all egress.  Only a few vendors can handle a hybrid approach.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces?

    Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces? The Nio reads hte guitar but GB doesn't....

    Usually effects packages are AU plugins that would have no effect on track selection. Interfaces should have no control over what kind of track you can select. I really think something else is going on her maybe something you overlooked.
    Did you choose the input channel in the track info pane. Try both channel 1 mono or channel 2 mono. Make sure the track is record enabled.

  • Set secondary DHCP on ALL interfaces.

    I wanted to post this as it's own question although it is posted already under "Ask the experts".
    We've added a secondary DHCP server to our network so that if one fails or is taken down for maintenance, we don't have a gap in service.  I need to add this new DHCP address to each interface for each controller in WCS.  I have 4 WLC's with 9 interfaces per.  That's 36 slow UI copy and pastes I'm not looking forward too.  Is there a quick way to propogate this secondary DNS to all interfaces?
    I've looked at Controller Templates and Controller Config Groups but can't seem to find my way through either to a solution to my situation.  Can you offer any advice?
    (Unrelated) Also, I can't post to this group from Firefox.  IE works fine.  Weird.

  • Oracle db listening on all interfaces

    Hi,
    I have oracle xe installed on a server linux.
    Customer did some changes on the nw and now the database does not listen on all interfaces but just on 127.0.0.1:1521.
    I need Oracle listening on this port but on all available ips in this server, in other words 0.0.0.0:1521.
    I can I achieve this? I am not a db expert.
    I need to do this because I have many installed product, especially OID, and I do not know what IP is actually used to connect to the database.
    Thanks much.

    As1mov wrote:
    This is ok, the problem is that OID does not create the LDAP listner even though it seams to connect correctly to the database. Missing something here from the problem description. A LDAP listener/server is not the same an Oracle listener. Uses different tcp ports and different application protocols. Also, you mentioned Oracle XE - last time I looked this was vanilla Oracle RDBMS. No OID included.
    If you are talking about not being able to connect to an OID server - that requires oidmon and oidctl (console commands) to be used to start up the OID server (with its listener).
    Should I take care of something if I add a new ip address to the linux box?Assuming that the Oracle Listener is not configured with +(IP=FIRST)+, then no - I would expect that bouncing the listener is all that is needed for the listener to start listening on port 1521 using the +0.0.0.0+. And this can be checked by using netstat or lsof commands (the latter can be used to list the tcp ports opened by the listener process).
    If you have an error - please provide as much technical details as possible. Such as the listener.ora file, the alias entry used from tnsnames.ora, the output of a sqlplus session that attempted to use this alias to connect and failed, etc.
    I'm not clear at all as to what the problem is that you're facing with the listener and multiple interfaces/IP addresses on the same server.

  • Query all interfaces

    Hi,
    Would really appreciate some assistance in what I 'thought' is a simple task
    This is what I want to do via TCL / EEM :
    1.)  Enumerate all interfaces on the switch or just query the running config
    2.)  Query each interface config
    3.)  If the interface config doesn't contain the sting 'authentication port-control auto' - send an email with the resulting interface name etc
    I'm starting to lose my mind trying to do this 
    Thanks and regards,

  • I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks.  I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

    I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks.  I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

    You will need a separate partition unless you plan to use the entire drive. You will need an amount of space somewhat larger than the total space now used on your startup drive. If you select the startup drive's Desktop icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Used space will be shown in the topmost panel. Add a GB or two to that number to determine how much space you'll need for the backup.
    Do not backup on a drive that has any files you want to keep. You can make a bootable backup as follows:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • Hi all,Interface vs Abstract class

    Hi, All When We are going to use interface or an Abstract class,Can tell exactly
    Thanks in advance

    Interface class is used to contain methods that is to be defined by children classes. And abstract class, even though you can have all methods being abstract, but normally I would use this class for situation such as implement methods that are general enough to be used by the children classes and left others being abstract to be implemented by children classes later. I always think this relationship in a simple way:
    Abstract Class: Animal
    Interface : Leg, Tail, Hair, Feather, Head...
    Children classes: Tiger, Bird, etc.
    Thus, for class Animal class you can have methods such as:
    Abstract: canRoar, canSing, canFly, ...
    Non-abstract: isSleeping, isAlive...
    More example:
    Tiger extends Animal implements Leg, Tail, Head, Hair
    Bird extends Animal implements Leg, Feather, Head
    I could be wrong, correct me if so. Cheers.

  • List of all interfaces in the XI landscape

    Hi Experts,
    Currently my company is going through a merge project with a second company, and we want to integrate the SAP systems. This will inevitably mean more interfaces to be built. What we would like to have is a way to generate a list of all the current interfaces in the XI landscape, so we can get a good overview of what can be reused or copied.
    I know we can get a list by opening the ID and looking at the configured scenario's, but we would like to automate this. Are there any tables where the interface scenario names are stored, and where we can see which type of interface it is (IDOC / File / JDBC / ...)?
    If someone knows of a solution for this, it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise this will remain a manual action, and as such, prone to mistakes or oversights...
    Our current XI landscape is XI 3.0, SP18.
    Thanks in advance,
    Yordy

    Hi,
    Solution is very simple: Use ABAP table SMPPREL3, this table contains all relationships (end-2-end) interface. You can use this table to know all about interface.
    Only caution is that this table also have some wild-card entries so total number of interface count can vary by 1-2%, but this happen on runtime only, this table will perfectly match your manual counting.

  • I play a game on Facebook called cityville. All the animations in the game do not work. Zynga told me that it is possible that my version of Firefox is too new. What does that mean and how do I correct it?

    I started using IE but it was very slow. Then someone suggested Google Chrome but I had the same problem. I then decided to reinstall Firefox again.
    This is a weird thing. My animations were working. These animations are connected to decoration items. They start working and then stop while the game continues to load.
    There are some animations from Zynga that do work all the time but not the ones I speak of.
    I ask others if they are having this problem but they say they aren't. I'm getting paranoid!
