Mac freezes/pauses every time I do anything

Basically 7 times out of 10 that I go to do any action (opening a new page, changing song, opening a folder) the mac pauses for any where from 1 - 10 seconds and the spinning ball comes up. This has gradually been getting worse over the past month. I've tried updates and the new firmware with no real change.
Its incredibly annoying, any idea what's wrong or how this could be fixed?

You also might consider adding some more RAM in there. 2GB isn't much in today's Macs. Once your memory starts running low and you start paging out, you will slow down considerably. I would suggest a min of 4GB.

I just upgraded to Maverick on my2 year old Macbook Pro and it has slowed down the computer terribly. All I see is that whirling circle every time I do anything. How do I go back to old OS. Terrible upgrade -- forces you to buy a new Mac!!!!

I just upgrade to Maverick on my 2 year old MacBook Pro and it has slowed down the computer terribly. All I see every time I do anything is that crazy circle going round and round. I don't recommend you upgrading. How do I get rid of it. I believe it forces you to buy a new macbook!!!!

It does not. First things first have you tried restarting?

Also open "activity monitor" and look and see what is using a lot of processing power.

Every time I download anything I get an error message stating ...could not open ....dmg because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged." What do I need to do to fix this problem?

For the last month or so, every time I download anything I get an error message stating "........could not open ...... .dmg because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...." I do not know what to do to fix this issue. Any ideas?

SBBOD is appears every time I do anything

About a week ago, quite suddenly, the SBBOD started appearing any time I would do just about anything. It would last for about 10 seconds and then things would return to normal for a short period then it would return again. It appeared 3 time while writing the last sentence.

Every time I donwload anything, I get an unresponsive script.

Since installing Lion OSX, every time I download anything, I get an unresponsive script.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

IBook app in my Mac quits unexpectedly every time I try to open it

The iBook app in my Mac quits unexpectedly every time I try to open it. Although I have updated everything on my Mac the issue continues.
how can I fix this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your support

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

My windows xp pro os freezes up every time I attempt to access itunes store

Hello iworld people, anyone out their having problems trying to access the itunes store, my operating system is Windows XP Pro, I can load and sync music no problem from cd's but I cannot access the itunes store my computer freezes up every time and I have to power down and re-start. Can any one offer any suggestions.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

XP is an older OS. My work PC, just before I re-imaged it to 7, would randomly lock up on "cmd-E" to open a file explorer, forcing a shutdown. XP was better than 2000 and 95, but needs re-build more often than 7.

I can't log on to my I mac Desk top, every time I switch it on all I get is a white screen with the apple log , can anyone help pls?

I can't log on to my I mac Desk top, every time I switch it on all I get is a white screen with the apple log , can anyone help pls?

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there.

Every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

Here is a simple fix I found that worked for me.
1) Clear your download history
2) Go to Options > Options > General Tab: Change your download location to something other than what you currently have it set at. Apply the changes.
3) Go back into the Options and change it back to what it was or whatever you want it to be.
You should be all set from there.

My mid 2010 macbook pro keeps freezing/crashing every time I try and play a game. Any help?

Every time I try and play either WoW or The Sims, my mac goes to black screen, or black screen and repeating last second of noise it was playing. I haven't upgraded to Lion and am still using Snow Leopard(??). I am by no means the most tech savvy girl in the world, but would appreciate any help, as this is driving me insane!! Thanks!!!

I don't know if it would help, but this is all the whoo haa from the last panic report thing. (about 5ish minutes ago)
I don't really know what any of it means, but if someone could help me decipher and tell me if there's anything I can do, I would be super grateful. (before I go into apple, that is)

How can I fix my system preferences so the system preferences window don't freeze up every time I open it?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix a System Prefrences problem? Every time I try to open system prefrences I get that little color wheel over the System Prefrences window, and I am not able to change any system prefrence options or click on any options in the window. It just freezes up. I have iOS Lion 10.7.4 version on a 2012 Macbook Pro i7. Right now my screen saver is just a blank blue color, and I am unable to set any other photo from my photo library to the hpome screen picture even without going throiugh system prefrnces. I have tried Disk Utility>Verify Disk Permissions, and that did not work. I have also tried Disk Utility>Permissions Repair, and that did not work either. Can anyone tell me another option to try because I am unable to open Time Machine to repair to an earlier date because that window freezes up also. Does anyone know any other options? This Macbook Has been doing this sort of thing since I took it out of the box brand new 4 months ago, but it fixted itself before the Macbook help coverage was expired so I never bothered to call Apple about it. Now it just freezes up and never works, I can't change my system time out I cant change any system prefrences on my Macbook Pro. It really ***** bad. Also another symptom my macbook has right before this problem accours is my screen saver on my computer will automatically be swithched to that Galaxy screen saver all the sudden when I turn my computer on then when I go to change the screen save back to a picture I had on my computer the system prefrences just freeze up. Please let me know if you know what I can do. Thanks.
Also I am Unable to open Dock Preferences and i get the frozen screen color wheel Just like on System Preferences.

Launch the Console 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

FCP7 PAUSES EVERY TIME BEFORE PLAYBACK!!!

Hey guys,
My FCP7 just recently started acting a little weird. Almost every time I press play it will pause for a few seconds as it spins the color wheel and then start playing. The weird thing is that it does that not just when I press play but pretty much all the time - for example, if I take a 1 min break and come back into final cut, no matter where I click it gives me the color wheel. If I switch to another application and then back to FCP - I get the color wheel....
It didn't do that before!! I haven't changed anything in my workflow, I'm always using prores files, I have plenty of space on my hard drives. I even tried uninstalling some additional plugins that I thought might be slowing it down but still nothing.
Has anyone ever had that happen to them before? What did you do to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I've experienced this kind of behavior in the past on older systems and it had more to do very long sequences and not enough processing power.
The "take a break" issue makes me wonder whether maybe the OS is struggling as well. You might want to open Activity Monitor and see what's happening as you go back to work.
I'd start with normal "system hygiene" (repair permissions, run Disk Warrior, restart system, maybe get into Single User mode and fsck -fy) in case you've left the system sleeping between sessions.
Good luck!
