Lion OS - Apple's CATwalk ... in slow motion.

Worse waiting ... I have bought last weekend the latest MacBook Pro i5 with Lion OS.
Speed wise, based on a 3.5 years old MacBook, I was expected to experience a 'real' difference ... Thanks to Lion and its 'fashion' ways to display/run applications as basic as ical to iPhoto (heavier), it slows down the ENTIRE machine.
I cannot find a way to change the setting and minimize all these 'good looking' activities (ie: do we really need to see the page turning on iCal?! do we really need to see email flying on mail?!) to more efficient way.
Using my mac to work, wasting so much time, is very, very, very frustating ... Almost feel like going back to Snow Leopard to get the Job done.
For the next Lion's update, it will be appreciated if we can have an option to cancel all these options, that are only slowing down a great beast.
Thank you.

PS - Shame after Snow Leopard to move to Slow Lion...
PPS - If we can have iSync as well!

A 3.5-year-old MacBook is probably skirting right along the lower edge of the system requirements.  That's never a good idea.  I don't have such a machine to test with, but Lion works well on my newer machine.  One gotcha...  I've noticed that it seems to get bogged down in high-memory-use situations that didn't cause SL problems.  My machine's memory use definitely indicates that it needs more RAM now, so I'm upgrading it to 8 GB (as soon as the RAM arrives on my doorstep).
If your machine isn't maxed out on RAM, do so now.  Otherwise, follow some of the basic tips provided by the Mac OS X Speed FAQ.  If nothing helps, revert to Snow Leopard and hold off on Lion until you've got newer hardware to run it on.

  • Como reproducir el slow motion del 5s en apple tv

    Buenas a todos,
      No consigo reproducir el slow motion de iphone 5s en el apple tv pero solo sale el audio
    Espero vuestras respuestas

    No creo que la cámara lenta trabaja en Apple TV. Cámara lenta no se hace una parte del código de vídeo, por lo que es por eso que no aparece.

  • HT3176 How can the slow motion playback speed be adjusted on Apple TV (pause and clicking right/left)?

    I am looking to adjust the paused slow motion playback speed of Apple TV. On one of my Apple Tv's when paused I can click right or left to view tv in frame advance (or one second advance) on a different Apple TV there does not appear to be any advance even after multiple clicks. But, it will jump 10 seconds when paused and left or right is held down as it should.
    Third gen. (A1427) Apple TV Software version on both 7.0.3

    Unfortunately with that speed you are not going to have a good experience with HD streaming. I would make sure everything is set to stream SD. Go into the settings - iTunes Store and you can switch there for any purchases/rentals made through them.
    If you use Netflix (or other streaming sites) go into your account(s) and see if you can switch to a lower quality stream. I know Netflix has that in place.

  • Hello. My iphone 4, iOS 6.1.3 gone wild....everything is going in slow motion, every app i open is running in frames...i tried reseting the handset, with back-up, without backup(as a new iPhone) and the result is the same. Help ! Apple? Anybody ?

    Hello. My iphone 4, iOS 6.1.3 gone wild....everything is going in slow motion, every app i open is running in frames...i tried reseting the handset, with back-up, without backup(as a new iPhone) and the result is the same. My battery percentage is going down down down only by looking at my phone, imess is making me crazy, after i write the name for the recipient the keyboard appears after 2 min...and the list is looooong...everything is gone wild ! Why? What can i do ?

    I'm having similar issues just lately. The phone itself is very slow to respond to the touch, just scrolling between home screens is a chore at times. There have been about 2 incidents of random vibration from it. Closing home screen folders takes a couple of attempts. I find that I'm also having delayed keyboard responses when typing messages to my contacts.
    Also, sometimes when I press the sleep/wake button it takes about 30 seconds to register it and actually lock or wake up.
    Have you experienced the backlight failing to light up? Like if I get a message it flashes up then goes black straight after and when you press the sleep/wake or home button it lights up again but very very dimly and you have to press the sleep/wake button as if locking it and then press it again to bring the screen up properly?
    Mine is also on 6.1.3(10B329), model MD245B/A, obviously not Jailbroken, carrier unlocked from Vodafone (but that was months and months ago). Roughly 17gb of storage space left.
    This has only started happening in the last 2 weeks. Haven't tried the reset or anything yet though.

  • My i7 sandy bridge with optibay harddrive is running slow in diablo 3 in low setting. Before I can run ultra settings on Starcraft. It lags now even I run log in sc2!!! It gets slower and slower in game that is like slow motion!!! Computer gets hot.

    Hi everyone, I been noticing my MacBook pro getting very slow in games like diablo 3 and Starcraft. This MacBook pro was bought a year ago. It is running i7 sandy bridge with a 128 Ssd. I did install optibay with a monetux xt hard drive in it.
    It could run ultra setting on Starcraft no problem and is very smooth when I first got it. Lately I got diablo 3, and it gets very slow. I had to change all the graphics setting to low. It is not slow in the beginning, but it gets very slow after a while. It is like slow motion!!! Even when is low, it is still very laggy in game. I tried to repair the disk and clean up the laptop with onyx and still doing the same thing. I even try to reboot when is slow, but same thing after I reboot. I guess the MBP still hot.
    Also I am running in lion!

    If it's a 13" MBP you don't have the more powerful dedicated graphics and there is nothing you can do but be mad at Apple for deceiving you that the 13" MacBook Pro was capable of extreme graphics.
    Only the 15" and 17" have the more powerful dedicated graphics in addition to the CPU graphics.

  • HT204076 Slow motion files not playing in slo-mo after 8.1.1

    I had some slow motion video clips I made of my grandson with iPhone 5S with iOS7. After upgrading to IOS 8.1.1, they will not play in slow motion on the iPhone or in iTunes on my Mac Pro 5.1 (2010). In the 'Master' file I found the clips and the size of the file is much bigger than non slow mo clips of the same time length. Also, when the info tab is selected and I scroll through my photos, the info does list the frames per second as 120 FPS. I cannot find a way to play the clip in slow-mo as I haas before the update. My Mac Pro is running Mountain Lion.

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Slow motion on windows xp pro

    Hello,
    I'm on windows xp pro by boot camp and I have sometimes some slow motion. It's a problem when i'm listening music. I didn't find virus with avast antivirus and my computer used to be clean with Ccleaner and Spybot search and destroy.

  • IPhone 6 Plus IOS v8.1 Slow Motion BROKEN

    Film in either of the two slow motion speeds and plays back ok on phone.  I put the files in the computer (grab the raw file via explorer), on Win 7 Professional, and played with both windows media player AND Quicktime player (up to date players) and the videos play either no slow motion, plays alternating between fast and slow, one time it played slow but had normal voice pitch, other times played slow with low voice pitch.  On youtube, they don't play in slow motion.  One I shot vertically (which I did just as a test) and it was sideways in the computer, however, youtube rotated it so it's vertical but it is not in HD and it does not play back in slow motion.  This same file that was sideways in my computer stopped playing after about 2 seconds in the computer, but played through ok in the phone.  I noticed that as the video plays in the phone, there are blue vertical lines below the left/right scrub/scroll bar for the video.  This can be set to play only a portion in slow motion.  But WHY does it start each video with the ends nudged in so the first 3 sec is regular speed and the last 2 are also reg speed also w/the slo-mo in between?  It defaults to this each time an you have to spread it out to get all slow motion..
    In Win XP, some of the video files don't show up.  It shows .aae files with corresponding numbers to the videos, but most of the videos are not there.
    I think this is a huge software bug that needs to be tested.  I updated the os on my new phone before I put anything into my phone.  Everything else has been perfect till this.  HELP!

    You said, "...plays back ok on phone."  That's where Apple's software stops.  Your problems with Win 7, Win XP, Quicktime, and YouTube need to be addressed on forums for those programs and/or sites.  Presumably the issue has already been resolved by users on those sites, with different solutions for each.

  • How can I flip my iphone videos on my PC? My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion

    My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion and staggers into normal play. The clips are slightly cut as well, the clips do not roll continuously.  I'm taling about videos that are no more than 2 minutes long.  I'm frustrated and I could really use some advice-my kids basketball games is what I'm recording and I'm trying to send them to my family (they are not very tech savvy). Thanks

    Not it's only function but one for which it was most admirably suited, which is why I really hope someone can find a work around. I am hoping my post to the Apple feedback may prompt a useful response from Apple and I live in hope that my post here will elicit a useful response from another user. I did not miss the the text at the top of the feedback form but you presumably missed my initial text, 'someone here can explain' or my subsequent 'work around from another user'
    Just in case anyone reading this has a large collection of music videos, video podcasts or iTunes U then DO NOT upgrade your iPad to iOS 5. If you are considering purchasing the iPad as a useful mobile device to experience these media organised in your iTunes please don't as you will be wasting your money. (unless someone on this forum knows of a way to undo the mess created by those infallible folks at Apple)
    Yes I know it does other things but the purpose I bought it for doesn't work anymore

  • Quicktime plays video in slow motion

    Quicktime plays my video from a Sony NEX-3 camera [H.264 MP4 files] in slow motion. The images plays at a reduced speed, while the sound plays at full speed. One consequence is that image and sound is completely out of sync. The video plays fine in iMovie and MPEG stream clip.
    I tried in two Macs: a Macbook Air (10.6.6) and a Macbook (10.6.5) and on both the video is slow motion, but on the Macbook it is extreme slow motion, while on the Macbook Air it is slight slow motion [mainly noticeable through lack of sync between image and sound].
    Video from iPhone 4 plays without problems in Quicktime.
    Since iMovie plays the Sony video fine, I would assume it is not a Sony video problem, but a bug in Quicktime. How do I get Apple to fix that bug?

  • HT4437 slow motion video to TV

    I have problems transmiting a video with slowe motion from my iphone 5s to my TV through apple tv. I just hear the sound. Do not see image. Any idea???

    Hi. After after trying too upload from the Facebook app, I found out that the video isn´t saved as a finished video. (you can still edit it)
    I used the iMovie  app to save the movie as new finished movie. Open iMovie , those video, select your video, click the share button i down right corner. Push create movie (I guess, mine is in danish) play the movie or not, push the back button, change the name or not, push the share button, save the the movie. Now you have a finished movie, that can be shared as any normal movie.
    Hope this helps
    Maybe there are other ways I don't know

  • Hdv with slow motion does flicker

    I´m editing now some clips at 1080 i and I need to use some slow motion clips. I use speed at 60 % and also active frame blendding and all it´s ok and I haven´t any trouble with the video. But when I do render I can see a big flicker at the picture. I put some deinterlace or flicker filter and all beccomee good but when I do render another time and export the movie I can see the flicker. The trouble is like final cut can´t apply the filters because if I mark frame blending at speed and save it, when I open fcp another time the effects was not in this place.
    Sorry for my English

    Maybe it has something to do with HDV? Can you switch your sequence rendering to ProRes? CMD+0 to enter your sequence settings. Click on the Render Control tab. Under Codec, choose Apple ProRes.

  • MacBook in slow motion...

    Hi, my MacBook is acting funny. When typing the words appear to be in slow motion. They lag way behind. I have restarted it but it still seems very slow. When I am done typing a sentence its usually about 5-6 words behind with each letter slowing appearing. What can it be? Thanks

    I had this same problem. I thought at first it was the wireless disconnecting and reconnectings. Now I have a MacBook Air with the ectronic drives and what I found it would create a swap file with a delay of 5 seconds. I would type and the sytem would just stop.
    I went in the terminal and typed this command
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist
    And its been fast from that point.
