    Re: Mail under Mountain Lion is painfully slow / unusable
    Jul 27, 2012 2:50 PM (in response to Adirondack Moose)
    Finally - I have a fix. It was related to address book problems.
    The solution is highlighted here:
         https://discussions.apple.com/message/19037910#19037910
    *** Be warned though - make sure you already have contacts up in iCloud before doing this:
    1. Bring up System Preferences, go to iCloud and uncheck "Contacts"
    2. You need to remove the folder /Users/<your_name>/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
    If you have issues removing, quit Mail and Contacts
    If you don't have contacts in iCloud, try renaming the folder
    3. Reboot the machine
    4. Bring up System Preferences, go to iCloud and now check "Contacts"
    Now when you bring up Contacts, it should sync with iCloud, Mail and Messages will work fine.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion my mac is very slow?

    Hello
    After upgrading to mountain lion my mac is very slow
    It was starting in 10 seconds and shuting dow in 5 seconds and now it's taking more than one minute to start it or shut down it and everything is slow
    why????????/
    Thanks

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Take these steps when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • My macbook pro is running very slow and very very hot

    hi everyone I have a 13 inch mid 2012 MacBook pro,
    it is running very very slow and extremely hot, I downloaded a program called smc fan control and it is reading the internal temperature of my computer as 80 degrees Celsius. I was looking on the forums and saw that I should run an apple hardware test. which I have done and it is coming up with Error 4/MOT/4/40000002: EXHAUST-2003
    what does this mean? is it something to do with my fan?
    also there is a very strange clicking noise when I lift the mac up or if its on its side and sometimes it just randomly freezes,  the computer does not respond and then it restarts.
    what do I do?
    please help!

    " the fan didn't seem congested with dust, at least not enough to cause any malfunction."
    The lint and crap builds up in the heat exchanger radiator. It's the grilled thing at the output of the fan.
    https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Fan+Replacemen t/10367
    Look at step 6. It's that grilled thing at the top of the fan. If you remove the fan that radiator is probably clogged with lint. Brush it all away and if possible blow out the fan with compressed air. Make sure the fan turns freely and doesn't feel stiff.

    This isn't a MBP radiator but the problem will look like this.

  • Osx lion upgrade - computer boot VERY slow

    after upgrade to OSX Lion, my computers boot very slowly.  they also have a hard time waking from "sleep", sometimes running fans then going back to sleep again.  disk verified, permissions repaired before and after install.  any ideas?  it's happening on more then one machine so it appears to be related to the software.

    same at me!  MBP 15",I7,early 2011

    After booting, for more than a minute, most of the Apps work very slowly. Most buttons have to be pressed an second, a third time to work. After using Yasu (http://jimmitchell.org/yasu/) it seems to be a little bit better but after two/three bootings appears the same effect.
    Than i decided to install Lion again but with the same result.The activity-display, showing ALL(!) processes, sorted for cpu-usage dont show no very consuming process ???

  • Сan not download  OS X Mountain Lion, v10.8 (4 ) very slow internet

    Сan not download  OS X Mountain Lion, v10.8 (4 ) very slow internet

    Unfortunately, on a slow internet connection with Mountain Lion being a 4.34GB file, the download is most likely going to time out before it can finish.
    A suggestion. Try pausing the download then resuming at intervals > Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads

  • Reasons why CS6 is running very very slow?

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

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

  • I am using ipod touch 4g 8 gb, with ios6 software. It is getting very very slow even after i reinstalled the software. Apps like temple run 2 and subway surfers are getting stuck and it is very very slow.My ipod has 2.6 gb free space.

    I am using ipod touch 4g 8 gb, with ios6 software. It is getting very very slow even after i reinstalled the software. Apps like temple run 2 and subway surfers are getting stuck and it is very very slow.My ipod has 2.6 gb free space. What is the problem. I am not getting to know. Even after i reinstalled these apps it is still getting stuck and it is very very slow. Is this what i get after paying so much money for ipod. Is this what i get very poor perfomance.

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Next
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Tutorial project runs very very slow.

    Hello,
    I have just started to work with OAFramework and I am trying to execute the tutorial project. After configurating all my enviroment I am able to run properly this project with "Run > Run test_fwktutorial.jsp" but the problem is that it runs very very slow. It takes at least 5 minutes to load the "Hello World!" and the same time to load the other pages.
    We work with Patch Jdeveloper 5455514 and our system is Oracle Applications 11.5.10 RUP4.
    We are connected to our system via a VPN client. Could it be the reason for this poor performance or are there other things I shoud have to modify?
    Thanks in advanced,
    Xavier

    Hi Xavier,
    There can be multiple reasons why the Jdeveloper is very slow. VPN might be one of them. Try accessing the Oracle Applications using the VPN connectivity and observe the speed. Try to do some transaction and notice whether database is slow or not. You can also double click the jpx file and check for the db connectivity by clicking on 'Test Connection' and see how much time it takes. The other reasons why the Jdeveloper is slow might be because you have multiple projects opened. You can also try to close the Jdeveloper session and restart again by deleting the myclasses and systems folder.
    See whether one of these approaches help.
    Thanks

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

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

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

  • T500 running very very slow on specific WIFI network only???

    Hi,
    This problem is driving me absolutely crazy. It means that I can only use my PC at home if I use a cable connection to the router....
    Problem is that on my home network my T500 is having a very very slow access to the internet via wireless. On all other wifi network I have connected to there is no issue and speed is high.
    Also several colleagues have been here with their T500 and none of them experience any issues with speed. We all run on the same t500 model, ordered at the same time and with same setup. We use Windows XP.
    I have tried to update all drivers, I have called my network provider who have updated router software, changed frequency and all other things they could do to avoid interference etc.
    I have two other PC's at home - none of them have any issues.
    I have done a web seacrh and could see that I am far from alone with this strange issue of a T500 being slow on only a specific network (often a home network). Many different routers are involved, so I dont think it is  arouter problem (would also mean that my colleagues identical t500s would have issues right??).
    Have there been any reolution to this T500 problem??
    Best regards and with hope of "salvation" :-)

    Which model of wireless card are you using? Intel 5100 or 5300 or thinkpad version?

    Hi,
    the plan isn't showing any problem (the cost isn't high) so it's not possible to use it to troublehshoot the query. Please provide more information: 4-digit Oracle version, and depending on the version, either SQL real-time monitor report or dbms_xplan output with rowsource stats (option "iostats last" after running your sql with ALTER SESSION SET STATISTICS_LEVEL = ALL).
    Also, when reporting a performance problem it would be wise to avoid expressions like "very, very slow" replacing them with something more useful like "my query is taking 2.5 hours to retrieve 30k rows".
    Best regards,
    Nikolay
