Laptop operation slows down
HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC, 6 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, Windows 7 64 bit O/S
4/4/15 for about 5 days this laptop, after being on for a while, starts slowing down. CPU usage isn’t max’d but does get up to 20+% at times. Main problem is applications which normally start immediately (e.g., VLC-player, Excel, IE) don’t ‘appear’ for a while and, when open, operate initially as “not responding”. The C drive (SSD) has 60GB free space. I have run Malwarebytes and Kaspersky with no reported errors. A couple days ago I restored to a point before the last Windows update (March 2014). When this problem occurs I examine Processes tab in Task Manager and no processes are observed to ‘hog’ the system resources. Of 6 GB RAM around 3GB is available. I uninstalled a recent upgrade to Spotify which I thought might be a culprit but the problem didn’t go away.
Mostly, if I restart the computer the problem either doesn’t appear OR appears after some time. I have stopped hibernating because (and I can’t fathom why !!) starting up from an ‘off’ state takes less time than from hibernation.
Local PC repair shop thinks my main C drive (SSD) may be at fault and suggests I go to its manufacturer and see if a tool exists to ‘check’ the drive. I looked in “HP Support Assistant” program but it offered not ‘tool’ to check the drive or anything else related to this problem.
Is it likely my SSD is at fault? Any way to ‘check’ my SSD?
Any suggestions?
I examined the link you provided re Kaspersky settings. I don't think that will help but I'll keep it in mind. If I proplem manifests itself again I will disable Kaspersky to see if it has any impact.
Just before checking this thread my laptop, just restarted from backup, exhibited the "slow" problem. I tried opening Internet Explorer (ver 11, auto update enabled) TWICE and, both times, I got "not responding" if the application opened at all and, on 2nd try, it never opened. I had Windows Task Manager running and 'IE' never appeared in the Applications tab nor in the Processes tab (as "iexplorer.exe"). I closed all applications (only Outlook was still running) and performed a RESTART. It took the PC a "long" time just to 'log off'; shutdown after that appeared swift enough. The startup went rapidly after that and I'm on IE now with no slowness.
++++ Any comments?
One other thing I've noticed. When running Task Manager I've tried to open 'Resource Monitor' from the Performance tab. It 'opens' but never fully populates its window. I can move its window around but its contents appear to be whatever was beneath the window when it opened. Any suggestions on this? Would this window be of any use to me (if it works)?

New Mac Slowing Down- PLZ HELP
Hey guys-
After having a bad experience with windoze, I decided to move to Mac- 3 weeks ago i bought a 13in 128gb hdd macbook air. It contains 8gb ram, but somehow, my laptop is slowing down to the speed of my 2007 Dell laptop! It has a core 2 duo and i have an i7- keep in mind that the thing has no tweaks installed, just apps downloaded from the 'net and appstore stuff. my downloaded apps were stuff like steam, apps to convert dmg's to iso images, etc. Anyway, i'm really hoping I can get the most out of the laptop, and not have it feel like i'm using an old laptop! Thanks in advance...Memorykeeper is sold by the same company that sells some of the worst trash known to plague Macs. It is capable of doing absolutely nothing beneficial.
Flux by The Escapers Consultancy is Web design software, but if you mean f.lux or similar system hacks it could certainly be a factor.
Onyx can do nothing that cannot be accomplished more safely and easily by using OS X's built-in resources.
I don't know what intellihide is.
... should i remove all tweaks or should i reinstall os?
Generally speaking if you want your Mac to run at peak efficiency you should avoid all such junk. It is not possible to make a Mac or its operating system perform any faster than they were engineered to perform. It is only possible to slow it down and make it unmanageable or useless by installing third party tools that claim the ability to speed it up or keep it "clean".
Since you recently moved to Macs after having become inured to a Windows PC's constant need for care and feeding, you must endeavor to purge your mind of those preconceptions. Macs are a different world. They are designed to be used; to be beaten on and driven hard every day, not pampered and constantly fussed over. That's what I have been doing with mine for decades. Isn't that why you bought yours?
Ignore the plaintive cries of former Windows developers desperately trying to convince you their tweaks and hacks are still relevant. Keep your Mac updated with software updates from Apple. That's all you need to do. -
Hello, I have MacBook pro Mid 2012. After update to Mavericks, my laptop really slowed down, started crashing, lagging, especially Safari, Launchpad have lags, in general video performace is bad, also Activity Monitor shows that browser takes 100% CPU, temperatures are higher in comparison to Mountain Lion.
Resetting SMC, PRAM and reinstall don't help.OK, so I booted OS X Recovery and Disk Utility - according to it, everything is fine.

Then, I started in Safe Mode and still there was poor graphic? video? performance, I understand that it shouldn't be perfectly smooth, but there was weird flashing, crashing and stuff. Photo:
You can see some of it (it's from Safari, but for example Launchpad is even worse). It's like that all the time in Safe Mode. I don't know if that's normal.
And I did SMC reset again, but it also didn't help.
Oh and apps often crash when I first start them, but then, I repeat action and they open.
Funny story, Mavericks should improve performance, better video memory and ram, but I'm experiencing completely different story. -
Tecra 9100 - Installed extra 512mb RAM but it's slowed down my computer!
After much fumbling around trying to install my new 512mb RAM, I switched on my computer to find it boots much slower. A message popped up saying 'Memory Module Added' and my computer shows that 768mb is installed which is correct because I already have 256mb installed in Slot 1.
So why on Earth is my computer even slower!? I bought it to speed up the thing! My computer is slower to boot, is less responsive and much better off with just the 256mb of RAM installed.
I think I might have damaged the RAM or Slot 2 because at first I inserted it in wrong. They should have made a video demonstration on how to install it because the manual didn't help me that much!
The RAM is from Crucial and supports my laptop because I ran the tests to decide which RAM I need.
Can anyone please help me!I'm a bit puzzled as to why your laptop would slow down after a memory upgrade. Like Kingston, Crucial is a recognised brand and therefore you should have no compatibility issues. The memory will tend to run at the speed of the slowest module, as is the case here.
While a properly earthed anti-static wrist strap may be the ideal procedure, I usually rely on earthing myself on (say) an appliance which I know is fully grounded immediately before touching a memory module. Alternatively a radiator or other item which might be earthed. Of course this depends on your countries electrical regulations :-)
You must avoid touching the contacts or surface - always best to hold the module only by its edges.
As another poster has suggested, remove the 256MB module and replace with the (new) 512MB Crucial module and check the laptop boots OK with just the 512MB module. A symptom of bad memory is when it causes the PC to fail to boot or the PC freezes at any point (either within seconds or after a period of time).
If this fails, then download the memory diagnostic tool from Microsoft web site (you may want to do this from another PC). I cannot remember the full name or URL, but it is the one recommended by XP when a memory-related error is reported. The software extracts to a bootable floppy or CD and carries out a very comprehensive memory test.
Let us know how you get on. -
where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable. Thank you.
How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it. -
At first my laptop was fine after the earphone end got stuck in. Soon it started getting slower, and suddenly it stopped switching on. The people in the service station said that it wAs because the hard disk drive was corrupted. I came back home, and immediately it stopped working again. This time they said it was because of water spill. They changed the entire key board and then it started working for a while. Later I updated to maverick and that slowed down my computer. Once, I switched on my laptop, logged in, and then the screen went white. When we took it to the service center they said they will need to replace the hard disk. I am not sure what I should do. Any suggestions?
Liquid damage from water spill is progressive, unfortunately.

After I installed 10.8.4, my Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection -- unless it froze up completely. How do I get my system back to a normal operating mode? Can I dump 10.8.4 and go back to the one that at least worked?
Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. 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? -
I'm having problems with my internet since I have upgraded. I am afraid to upgrade on my Macbook pro now. I don't want the upgrade to slow down my laptops. Any suggestions?
Wifi issues are one of the common issues being reported by users. There is not much you can do at this point but wait and hope that th 10.8.1 update will address these issues.

Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) sudden slow down, and heats up while sleeping
Hi! I need help with my Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) that suddenly slowed down, and heats up while sleeping. It slowed down 3 days ago. I want to know what checks I can do to find what is wrong with my laptop. Thank You
Hi! I did reset SMC but it did not work but thank you. Now, my hard drive crashed, bought a new one, but unfortunately my laptop does not detect the new hard drive so that where I'm at. Im not sure if I need to format the hard drive, replace an internal part like the connector of the hard drive to the logic board or the new hard drive is broken.

Yes it's another Mavericks slowing down my laptop thread :)
Hi there
I recently installed Mavericks, just before Xmas in fact, and noticed how slow it was from the start. Now I'm back at work, it's killing me!
First off, I had lots of problems with Mail, and something to do with Keychain (forgive me, laptop is a tool, I don't really understand how it works). I managed to get that working, although, I must say it still is slow at collecting mail from my various accounts.
Word, well that's just hysterical. I can sit and type a few lines, sit back and watch Word catch up with me over a minute or so, then have to go back and correct my terrible typing, it's painful and un-usable. I have noted on here to rebuild my Office Database, which I've done, and it appeared to have no problems.
So what to do? I heard about EtreCheck so have run that and will paste results below, I'm hoping that someone will spot something there that is really obvious and return me to fact Mac nirvana.
I'm on a 2011 MacBook Pro, 2.8ghz Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM. i don't have lots of 3rd party stuff installed, but do run Photoshop, Quark, Office and a few other apps.
Here's hoping for help, and thanks in advance!

About memory management in OSX 10.9 Mavericks
Memory is managed differently, and more efficiently in 10.9. It is (mostly) unique in the industry, but may become trend.
Let’s start with the basics. Mechanical disk drives are very slow, with access speeds in the 10s of milliseconds and transfer rates in the 200-400 Mbps range real world. SSDs are much faster, on the order of a couple of ms access and typically 1200-3000 mbps transfer rates. RAM is much faster than either, in the nanosecond access and transfer speeds of ~8 Gbps effective (1 GHz x 8 bits/byte).
These are rough numbers for comparison purposes only.
So the goal is to keep as much in RAM as possible. But if you run out of RAM what do you do?
Traditionally you take the least used RAM and write it to a special part of the disk, in a way that you can access it most efficiently - minimizing the disk delays. This is called a swap file because you swap RAM in and out of it.
10.9 has a new trick: it compresses RAM using the main processors. Rather than swapping stuff to disk (disks are slow), it actually uses the processor to compress memory and make, for example, 1 GB of physical RAM hold as much as 1.5GB. Similar approaches are used to make MP3 files 10x smaller than the real thing - there is redundancy in data and you can take advantage of that. Apple is making the following calculation: the processors can compress way faster than the disk can swap. And its also predicting that the processors are often partly idle - waiting for swap files or disk access. So rather than swap files around, its compresses the files ***in RAM***.
Compression works,. Tests show that on average it is faster, and that 4GB (i have 4 GB RAM) acts like 5 1/2 - 6GB. Wow.
So, 10.9 will load up most of your RAM, knowing that it can compress some when it needs to. So don’t worry too much that it may look like all your RAM is taken - yea, it is, but its OK.
The measures to look at are:
1. amount compressed. Compression means it has run out of RAM and needs more. As long as compression is low this is fine. In fact this is how 10.9 uses RAM more efficiently than 10.6,7 or 8. Contrary to common wisdom, it requires LESS RAM than 10.8. The colored indicator tells you who this is going - green (good), yellow( iffy) and red (bad).
2. amount swapped. Once it cannot compress any further, or can’t do so efficiently, jot begins old-fashioned swapping. This is a major slow-down and means you would benefit from more RAM. Tiny amounts are OK.
here's an article by Apple - but on th pre-10.9 memory management techniques....mostly still true, but read on.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342?viewlocale=en_US
Bottom line - compression makes 10.9 use RAM more efficiently than previous OSX versions. It also makes the “ram used” indicator less meaningful, and mans you should monitor “compression” .
That said, RAM has always been one of the most cost effective upgrades possible. People spend too much on new machines and too little on more RAM.
Hope this helps,

Flash causes Firefox to slow down and even freeze (and on a gaming laptop, too). How to fix this?
Every time I use the Flash plug-in (for videos on YouTube or PutLocker or whatever), FireFox just slows down a lot and even freezes. It happens very often now and it's really annoying.
By the way, I am using a gaming laptop so I am not sure why I am having these problems. My Flash plug-in and firefox are updated to the latest versions, too.
My specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHZ (8 CPUs)
nVidia GTX 560m 3GB vRAM dedicated
16GB RAMOkay, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. That helped only for about ten minutes and it started doing it again.
I don't know what else to do. :S -
AddressBookSourcesSync Causing Sever Laptop Slow Down
After updating to iOS 5 and Icloud my Laptop has some severe slow down issues. I started the Acitivity Monitor and found that the AddressBookSourcesSync user process is using as much as 90% of the CPU and lots of Memory both virtual and Real Memory. I can stop this process and the system returns to normal. But every time I start up I can not use the computer until I quit the process.
Here is a process sample from the activity monitor.
Sampling process 398 for 3 seconds with 1 millisecond of run time between samples
Sampling completed, processing symbols...

While working I can detect a major slowdown that almost brings my iMac to a halt. Activity Monitor always shows addressbooksync using 80 - 95% of CPU. I quit the process to get back to work until the next sync.
This is a major issue that will soon drive me to turn off iCloud. Unfortunately my iPhone and iPad use will suffer.
Any solutions out there? -

[SOLVED]Whole computer slows down while lots of ongoing I/O operations
Hello
It's an issue bugging me from quite a long time, so finally I decided to share my anxiety :-D
Is it normal that both desktop environment actions (clicks, moving windows around, even moving the cursor) and keyboard input slows down when disk is under heavy load? It happens for example when I try to unpack something from a big archive or load a big file in a program. Whole computer runs then like Crysis on 512MB RAM, for me it's unusable. I think my config is the key here, so here it is:
Linux asus.k50in 2.6.34-zen2-ARCH-20100812-stable-06977-ge2287d6 #8 ZEN SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 12 20:54:24 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
GeForce 102M 512MB
XFS filesystem on every partition.
KDE4.5.1 + all available updates.
Thanks in advance for any hints.

* Do you have a swapfile or -partition?
* What do you see in the output of 'top' when this happens?
* Do your logs tell you/us something?
I have never seen this behaviour. It is normal, f.e. on an older machine that when doing a pacman -Sy, the system is less responsive or that (even on a newer system) when copying large amounts of data from one HD to another that file operations are slowed down. It is not normal that your desktop is affected by this.
