Lenovo G570 running slow on Ethernet
We have bought 3 G570's laptops and all 3 are having the same issue. They were all having issues, so I rebuilt them from scratch with Windows 7 Home Prem and then upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
After rebuilding them they were all still having the same slowness issue. So we switched them all to use Wireless and the problem was resolved. So speed tests for both to the internet are as follows: Internet is 10meg both upload and download.
Ethernet
10M download
.03M upload
Wireless
10M download
8M upload
This problem cause issues when on Ethernet as to send a 1M file can take several hours to upload to the local server when it is done is seconds when on Wireless.
The Ethernet drive I am using is the only one listed for download:
Atheros LAN Driver (AR8151L-Giga)(AR8152L-10/100) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Lenovo G470 and G570
The only thing I have not tried that may or may not help is to force like 100M full duplex instead of the default Auto negotiation.
Thanks for any help. Warranty runs out in 10 days on these so any help would be appreciated.
hi rinkratt,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community
Forcing the Speed & Duplex to 100Mbps Full Duplex will probably just increase the performance when transferring a file over the network and may not affect the upstream when uploading files over the Internet. Try to reboot into Safe Mode with Networking and try to do a speedtest over LAN. If it's now giving you an 8Mbps upstream, there might be some security software that's blocking it.
Otherwise, try to use this driver and test:
Drivers for Atheros AR8151 and Windows 7
Hope this helps

Internet runs slow adsl2+ ethernet
internet runs slow adsl2+ ethernet
(Without giving more info, it is very hard to determine.
Yes, ethernet connection indeed elminates the Wi-Fi interference and such, but more details needs to be furnished in order to make judgement:
1: What application are you using? (Watch Youtube stream slow, Running uTorrent on OSX, or using some VPN services in order to watch Netflix and Hulu Plus that has yet to reach to your location or using FaceTime and such video calls etc)
2: What time does it happen (ISP may slows down connection during peak hours)
3: I presume your speed is somewhere in between 10Mbps ~ 25Mbps, correct me if I am wrong
4: How many other device are using the same Internet network. Are there any person using other computers / tablets / phones to surf Internet or even stream videos concurrently as you)
1. Watching youtube. No video phone stuff including skype, just regular internet browsing.
2. Happening constantly. No fast or slow hours.
3. Firefox runs at 700kbs on a 6mbs line.
4. No other devices or people connected.
I have changed over from netgear n600 router to Belkin and back again. Exact same speeds.
Must be software or hardware within mac. -
Lenovo G550 running Vista. So slow
Hi,
I have recently brought the wife a Lenovo G550 laptop which is running Vista. I have a Toshiba A300 did have Vista but now running Windows XP Pro.
The problem: We are finding the lenovo G550 so slow when it comes to the internet. I know that the Toshiba is a dualcore processor but is that why the G550 is so slow?
I was thinking of downgrading the G550 to Windows XP, would this make the internet a bit quicker ? as Ive been told that vista eats memory. Wife is getting a tad annoyed, especially when it comes to playing "Farmville" lol.
Many thanks for any help.is it slow on internet or normal usage?
if internet, check this post, otherwise, try to perform clean windows installation by pressing one key recover button. -
Lenovo G570 essential - One Key Recovery issue
Hello to everybody and congratulations for the forum. I have a Lenovo G570 notebook which is running the original version of Windows 7 that came installed with. Before I mention the problem I have to state that I have restructured the hard drive by using the program Acronis Disk Director. When I click the One Key Recovery application and choose the RECOVERY option I receive the follwing message.
"The program cannot find the service partition. The service is currently unavalaible."
After checking, I noticed a change in the Default recovery partition (the factory one) and the Windows installation partition. These partitions are not ACTIVE as before. What can I do in order to overcome this problem and achieve to restore my notebook to the factory default installation?
Regards,
LENOVO G570-20079
INTEL CORE i3-2310M/4GB ram DDR3-1066MHz/HDD Toshiba 640GB MK6465GSX/VGA AMD Mobile Radeon HD 6370M/Atheros Wireless 9285/Atheros Ethernet Controller 8152/Hello Oust_alex,
First the simple procedure to bring the system to factory setting by using the recovery disc if you have created before altering the partitions.
If the recovery disc is not created then you must restore the partitions as previous and then check.
Last option is to purchase the recovery disc from the service center.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

System freezing/running slower
I've been having some difficulties with my macbook as of late: in the past three days, chrome has frozen about 7 times and force quitting made the entire screen freeze (so all i could do was using the shut-down button). I've also noticed that the bootup is slower than usual. Generally speaking, the whole thing has been running slower and slower for a while now. i get the rainbow wheel of doom on a frequent basis. (also, my fan is quite loud and i can hear a rattling sound sometimes)
here is what seems to have happened before everything froze:

i've verified disk permissions, verified disk, did a hardware check (everything normal) and reset NVRAM/PRAM. I didn't even know any of these things existed until a few days ago, so if i'm honest i have no idea what i'm doing.
(also, with disk permissions i got "Permissions differ on “System/Library/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are lrwxr-xr-x "" and "
should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rw-r--r-". I'm not sure whether that is important.)
if anyone could tell me what is going on / what i could do to stop my computer from being slow/crashing, i'd be immensely thankful! (it's also a new model; from january 2012)Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
I installed Yosemite and since then the system has been running slow. I chose to use FileVault and it says it's encrypting but keeps saying estimating time remaining. I've tried repair permission and restarting my computer. Saw some other threads with similar problem and ran diskutil cs list which showed 80% the first time and now says failed. I also did an Entre Check and here are the results.

Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
Are you connected to Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi? If so, disconnect the Ethernet cable or adapter and test.
If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
If you're running a MacBook with the lid closed, open the lid. Any difference?
Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference? -
Mac running slow, worse since installing Yosemite from Lion
Mac started to run slow every now and then, updated to yosemite and now getting worse, slow to open programmes like iPhoto (getting jammed when using), websites and switching between the two. Get a coloured wheel often. More worryingly recently when waking from sleep, the left half of my screen is distorted like an old unturned TV!! I am a typical user with little knowledge on how macs work, so am nervous to do much. Have included the etracheck report for info. Can somebody tell me if i should take it to a mac "shop" or have any advice on fixing myself. many thanks

My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.
My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.
I checked out most of the blogs and everything and have removed widgets from the notification center, but everything seems to run kinda slowly.
Sure, i have the base model 2014 macbook air but that 4 gb ram should run a freakin finder just fine. I had Mavericks installed before, and with that, i could do everything. I even made cool music in GarageBand and nothing was lagging for me. Now i installed Yosemite... Everything is lagging. Scrolling seems like it happens around 10 FPS. That aint good man. Memory cleaner says around 1gb ram free when only the finder is running in the background (before it did around 2). I just uninstalled Memory Cleaner o I'm not looking at that little amount of memory. I don't know what to do now? I would appreciate it, if someone would help me. Otherwise, ill just wait for a new update.Since it's new I would take it back for repair or exchange under your warranty before bothering to read further.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.

Why is my safari running slow after updating my mac?
My safari is running slow after completing a software update. I have cleared the cache. It did not help.
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 not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. 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?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
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? -
IMac G5 (w/iSight) running slow and hot on web browsers
Hello-
I've had my iMac for 4+ years and haven't any problems I couldn't fix on my own until now....
Machine is an iMac G5 w/ iSight with all original hardware except an extra 2GB of memory (for a total of 2.5). Over the last couple of months, my web browsers have begun to run slower and slower (mainly Safari, but I also use Firefox). Also the processor fan (I believe) comes on more quickly and frequently. It is now to the point that anytime there are any imbedded graphics, whether it's a youtube video, or a weather radar loop, or my kids are on webkinz, the fan kicks in and the top left corner gets extremely hot to the touch. As soon as I leave the page or close out the browser, the fan dies down. I cannot run any of these sites optimally. I am also getting quite a lot of page loading errors in Safari such as "Safari can't find the server." However, when I hit refresh the page comes right up. There does not seem to be a pattern to these messages. This only seems (so far) to be an issue with the browers. Today I simultaneously played a DVD, played songs on iTunes, and work in MS Word. No fan...
Here's what I've done so far:
Repaired disk permissions
Ran the extended hardware test (passed, no errors)
Ran diagnostics on my network connection (passed)
Reset Safari and Firefox incl. clearing the cache and deleting all cookies
Ran cleaning and maintenance w/ OnyX
Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated!
Thanks...
JDWhich Camino? Do you have the latest, which I think is 2.0.3? It's difficult to pinpoint why all your browsers might be slow to load.
You could try the Servers from OpenDNS which may be faster (and safer, since they are patched for DNS poisoning/redirects) than those of your ISP. Put these numbers in Network> DNS for the interface your are using, eg. Ethernet, Airport:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then check to see if it's working by going to
http://www.opendns.com/welcome/
You can also test your speeds here
http://www.speedtest.net/
Here's something to read on slow browsers (in this case, Safari, but applicable to any browser.)
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10354948-263.html
If the refresh option works quickly, that might indicate that your Internet speed is slow. Once you've been to a page, it's stored in the browser cache, so it doesn't need to reload everything from scratch. I don't notice any difference in speed from refresh loading, so I suppose my Internet speed, though only around 1MBPS, is fast enough not to have to depend on the cache.
I don't know for certain if that indicates a problem, but the CPU spiking temporarily to 100% on loading a page doesn't sound like a big problem. Your processor is by now relatively slow compared to newer machines and web pages are getting more complicated with more elements to load all the time.
Finally, those G5s do run kind of hot; it will only delay the arrival of the hottest temps, but putting a fan at the back does help a little. I use one even on this new iMac.

New Lenovo G570 Teething Issues
Dear Lenovo-connected moderators, outriders and the like (Please note that in error I originally posted this to the other thread):
I just bought in Europe a new Lenovo G570. I have the following issues:
Since I always resize the C: partition I have removed the possibility of using one-key restore. It seems bizarre that Lenovo would force keeping the C: partition at its initial size. Surely it would be possible to write the one-key software to work around repartitioning the HDD. I did the resize of the C: partition immediately after purchase as part of my personal data and program installation and found out later about the requirement not to resize. Moreover, as far as I can recall there was no D: partition already installed, which I might have been able to live with (I prefer multiple data partitions). Any way to fix this problem? For I restored the C: partition to its original size but that didn't help; I couldn't get the recovery DVD's made; the one-key button was non-functional. What do I have to do to get the recovery features back? For I see that for very similar products a fresh install of Win 7 causes all kinds of problems, and in the absence of recovery DVD's that's really the only other option. I should point out that at the moment the computer is working; I'm just trying to do my preventative medicine for the day the computer crashes.
Lenovo's model numbering is very confusing, as is the Lenovo habit of updating system specs on the fly. My model name is 20079; my model number is CB01031166. If I download the current specs for the model from the Lenovo site (just did) they don't agree with what I have. Major differences are that my computer shipped with an Intel i5-2410M processor, a 640 GB HDD and with a separate ATI Graphics Card (Radeon Premium). Thanks, but this leads to issues about driver updates when I search for downloads for my computer on the Lenovo site. In particular, it's not clear to me whether I should be reflashing BIOS with the latest BIOS. On the thread about serious issues with the Idea Pad Z570, I saw recommended the reflashing of the BIOS. You might ask, well why would I go there? Because the Lenovo site does not support searching on models that are not branded Think Pad or Idea Pad. Mine's branded Essentials and it's just not recognized even in the automated search using the Internet Explorer. So searching for Lenovo G570, that's what a Google search turned up and the specs of the Z570 are extremely similar to the G570 I have. So if someone could tell me how to find the driver updates for my model, I'd be very grateful.
I see in the Z570 thread that if the CD is not the first boot priority then the WiFi doesn't work. Does this also apply to my model?
When I boot with an external Sata HDD attached (to see if BIOS will recognize it for boot purposes), the boot procedure freezes until I unplug the Sata HDD. Of course the external HDD is plugged into the USB port. This seems to be a problem with the BIOS, although admittedly I can't recall if the BIOS flash screen shows and it freezes after, or it freezes before it reaches the BIOS flash screen.
I also see that the fan that's always running is actually a serious warranty issue. I hadn't realized that it wasn't some quirk of my software. So here we are with a serious warranty issue. Update: 23/2/12. This does not seem to be a real problem on my machine at the moment. While the fan works more than I would have expected, it will shut down eventually once the computer is not doing anything. Possibly the actual software I'm using on the machine is causing heavy fan use. This is something of a relief.
According to the specs the computer ships with a USB/eSata port. And indeed there is a port in the right place that is different from the other USB ports. The port of course works with USB. However, its shape is not the usual eSatap shape. In particular it doesn't have the cutouts left and right for the usual eSatap jack. Instead it has a cutout at the top. But for the life of me and my dealer, there is nowhere on the Net where we can find an image of the Lenovo USB/eSata port and certainly nowhere where I can buy a jack/adaptor/external SATA disk that fits the Lenovo USB/eSata port.
Here's an image of my USB/eSata port. It's the middle of the three ports. Of course, on the left is something for TV that is irrelevant, and to the right is a normal USB port. How do I find anything to work with it at eSata speeds?
Thanks very much.Thanks for replying ExJamJus.
I will ask the local reseller, but I suspect they don't know more than anyone else. The problem is that the specs are very fluid on these units--after all, I have a ATI Radeon graphics card whereas the specs typically say that its an integrated (on-the-motherboard) Intel graphics card. Some places, as other users have noted, they do spec it as having an eSata/USB port, but there's just no plug available with that shape with any specification. My technician who sold me the computer thought that the only possibility was that the plug would be introduced later. He'd never seen one and he takes computers apart and fixes them.
As for the drivers, I installed all the drivers. Nothing terrible happened except as follows:
One of the ATI Radeon updates, for Hydravision I believe, comes to an end where kdbsync.exe can't start at boot time because Open.dll is missing. You can follow up on the Internet. The fix is to download Open.dll and put it in the proper folder in Program files. It works now--or at least I don't get an error message at boot time.
This is import for Lenovo: Lenovo energy management upgrade gave me the option to install on top of the old Lenovo energy management but it would require a reboot. So I did it. But what happened was that Lenovo energy management wouldn't start at boot time. I tried repair, no deal. So I had to completely uninstall Lenovo energy management and then do a fresh install. It works now. This is going to irritate people. Bad for business.
It's unclear in some of these cases just what driver is installed on the computer and it's not clear whether the driver installer programs are always coded to check whether the driver being installed is not older than the installed driver. So it makes it a little chancy to download and install a driver that was issued not long before the manufacture date of the product. -
Lenovo G570 Windwos xp drivers
Hi All,
this is My first post.
I am Using Lenovo g570 laptop. I have installed Vm ware on this i installed Windows xp SP3 32 bit Operating system.
i want to install chipset and VGA drivers on my vertual system.
Whwnever i try to insatll Chipset drivers It gives message: System did not match with minimum requirement.
need help to resolve this same.Hi,
So we're clear - you want to install these drivers in the virtual machine, not the G570 OS?
VMWare doesn't reflect the host machine's hardware to the virtual client. It emulates a specific set of virtual hardware that is the same regardless of the host. You won't be able to install Lenovo drivers inside the virtual machine, since the virtual harware is not the same as the host's physical hardware.
Install VMWare tools, if you haven't already. It should provide the drivers you need. If not, open device manager in your virtual machine and see what the virtual hardware is.
Somewhere on the VMWare site there should be a list of emulated hardware. I'll poke around there and see if I can find it.
[edit] Here's a snip of the virtual hardware in my XP client running under VMWare Player 4 on a Win 7 Ult 64 i7 desktop. Note that this "hardware" is not the same as the host hardware.
[more edit] Below that is a partial snip of the physical hardware in the host machine. You can see that they are quite different.

Hi and thanks in advance for your help!
Please read specifications below. My iMacG5 (not intel) is running slow, particularly during start-up, which can take up to 4min. Internet is also slow. I have both Techtool pro and disk warrior (if they would help). I also have a ext HD if it would help to release things from HD. Thanks!

- dashboard: weather, calculator, clock, calendar
- Internet: DSL
- Memory: 2Gb RAM
- Vram: 128Mb
- Processor: 2GHz
- OS: 10.5.6
- HD: Used: 98Gb Available: 134Gb
- Not using idisk (noted, slower if i do)Rod, Miriam, thanks.
I tend to believe that Disk warrior or Techtool pro would not fix the problem, simply because I have both of them and had used them every now and then and have not seen a significant improvement.
By the way, why disk warrior and not the performance tool on tech too?
So the software to clean cache suggested by Miriam and especially the hogging the CPU (i don't understand what that means) sounds like something to try.
Rod, I connect via ethernet using a comcast modem.
So I will run disk warrior first, then run the application suggested by miriam, then will address the hogging the cpu issue and go frm there...
Miriam, I have a full back up on an ext HD.
In the meantime, here is the printout from the activity monitor window under the tab "process name". If you tell me what to look for I will check...
