Mac os x leopard is slow
I've had my Mac for over a year now. It's a Mac OS X 10.5.4 leopard. Lately, it has been acting up (freezing and being really slow).I tried deleting a lot of applications that were not necessary. Apparently that didn't work. How do i get my Mac to become faster and not freeze so much?
do you regularly shut it down / do a restart?
--> that free´s up memory (if the virtual memory (SWAP) file is really huge, that slows it down
--> either do regular restarts (costs time), don´t let as many programs run at the same time (costs time) or buy more memory (not really expensive)
for a 10.5 machine you should have at least 1GB, with current prices for RAM, I personally go for at least 2GB (3 or 4 if you´re doing lots of video / 3D / hires-photo stuff)
--> how full is the HD (click on the HD icon once, then command-i (get info) - as a rule of thumb, there shpould be about 20% free space. If you´re below 5%, get a bigger HD (but first throw some more doce and or files away)
--> if all this is not the reason, let cocktail do some maintenance: http://maintain.se/cocktail/download.php
i like it that much, i paid for it
tell me how it goes

Is it true that Mac OS X Leopard is slow on Apple's PowerPC's (800 Mhz)?
Is this only during installation or this at all times?
With 1 gigabyte of ram or with less? (I plan to have 1 GB)
Does this happen even if you erase the hard drive and start from scratch?
Interested in buying it or perhaps waiting to see if "Snow Leopard" will work better if indeed they do release a version for PowerPC's (non-Intel macs).Hi
I also have a PB G4 1.67Mhz with 2GB RAM and 80GB HD. When Tiger (approx 5GB install size) was king of the jungle I noticed a definite speed bump over 10.3. I can't remember fully the complete specifics but a lot more efficent source code was one reason even though Tiger's hardware requirements were greater. From power on to desktop and first application launch took about 30-40 seconds.
I now have Leopard installed on the same PowerBook. It takes a bit longer even though a lot of Leopard is 'designed' for the Intel processor as well as it being approx 15GB in size. In that sense comparing it to Tiger its actually as quick if not quicker all things considered. Of course if I had a MacBook Pro 2.whatever C2D there's no contest. There is no NetInfo in Leopard and launchd (which replaced it) is supposed to be a lot quicker in handling boot services. Neither is there any support for Classic. Ultimately how the OS is constructed plays a big part in the overall performance of a computer. However it still boils down to processor and bus speeds, VRAM and RAM, size/speed of hard drive. Clearly Leopard on a lower rated processor is going to be slower when compared to something much faster.

Mac Pro (Snow Leopard) runs slow even after bootup disk is repaired
My Mac Pro running OS X 10.6.8 continues to run exremely slowly even after the bootup disk was repaired and verified. I did a second safe boot then a regular boot and now I cannot even start any of the applicatsion. E.g., I cannot start either Mail.app or Safari.
This ie s exremely upsetting and I would appreciate any help, advice, ... on what I should do to determine the problem.
VBI have had Time Machine backups and I used to have online backups as well until the provider changed terms on me which made it so much more expensive (but that is another story). I have >600 GB available on my1 TB startup drive and I do have quite of a bit of my media files on an additional 500 GB hard drive.
However, your mentioning power outages and dorps/dips reminded me that such is indeed a problem where we live. My MacPro is wlays on and when I woke up one morning the login window was on so it obviously had restarted. Then just before the Mac acted slower than molasses I do remember my UPS beeping but I admittedly sort of ignored it and forgot all about it since this kind of thing happens relatively frequently.
I just restarted the system now and everything seems back to normal again.
My question: my Mac Pro as well as my monitor are connected to a 350 VA/200 W UPS. What is the advantage of using a 1500 VA UPS?
Thanks. -
Snow Leopard is slow on my mac mini
I think snow leopard is slower than leopard on my mac mini. What is the matter?
(excuse me for my english)I'm finding the same effect on my Mac Mini (just a few months old).
My Mac Book Pro is actually noticeable faster with Snow Leopard, but the Mac Mini is 10 times slower than it was with Leopard - barely usable at all.
My Mac Mini is 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB Ram.
I've checked the activity monitor and othing seems to be hogging the CPU or using up the RAM. I did try to boot into 64 bit kernel, but it didn't seem to work (once I unlocked the firmware).
... Fixed! ...
Now my Mac Mini works blindingly fast again. Not sure how I fixed it, but could be a combination of removing all GPG traces, stopping EyeTV helper from starting up and trying many times to boot into 64 bit kernel (but never succeeded).
(Also removed GeekTool and Secrets preference panes).
Also, since the firmware was unlocked I got a Mac Mini Firmware update (to 1.2), so maybe that helped. -
Is there a way to speed up a Mac (similar to de-fragging on a PC)? Mine has gotten slower and slower over time.
When memory/disc comes close to full would that have an effect on performance? How should I determine what programs/software to remove and free space?Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with visits to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
Troubleshooting Applications
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file. -
OK, so I am a girl & may not know it all- My husband and I have an iMac G4 & an iBook G4 and he just told me that we can get a new computer for the Mac OS X Leopard server. So, a couple of questions for here, to help me out when I talk to him about what I want. Is it best to wait until Leopard comes out to get a new computer? are there any advantages or disadvantages?
I went online to build the iMac I think I want and may I have some "pro" opinions about what I ended up with?
I do a lot of creating word document stuff for my work; I'm always doing searches for my medical profession; I made several dynomite calendars from iPhoto for christmas presents, using old family slides and recent pics; I just got started with iLife and mostly using iMovie & iDVD, and I have an iPod for iTunes.
My first big project is getting close to done-iMovie to iDVD of #950 old family slides and pics with background music and my father's narration. I had to divide the project into 2 parts, each at least 1 hour in length, to burn to 2 DVD's and almost crashed the computer & sat and watched the SBOD for up to 10-15 minutes every time I clicked the mouse. My husband just bought me a WD My Book 250GB premium Edition, Dual Interface, Double Interface which has helped out some so things are not quite as slow, most of the time. I have plans to continue making a lot more DVD's and I want the speed and latest technology to help me out.
So this is what I came up with, and yes, price is an issue (& no, I have not approached my husband with the grand total I came up with). I will appreciate any advice I can get so I can make an informed decision about what will help make my projects fun vs frustrating, and what is just "fluff".

iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) also have a iBook G4 & I do all the photo stuff on the iMac
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) also have a iBook G4 & I do all the photo stuff on the iMacWell, it doesn't look like price is too much a problem with that configuration! I hope your husband let's you get it. With that price range, I'd just get it now and pay the other $129 later. There won't be enough major changes that make it all that necessary to have Leopard, and you might as well wait for all the bugs to be worked out in Leopard and work safely in Tiger. Who knows, something may flare up in Final Cut in the new OS and give you another SBOD.
If you want to save some money, just get the 2.16 GHZ. The speed difference in the processor won't be that noticeable and definitely not enough difference to pay $250 extra. That's twice the price of having Tiger now and upgrading later.
So, there's my opinion. You asked for it Hope it goes well. I was in the same predicament when ordering my new iMac & glad I just went ahead and bought it. I'll wait a few months after Leopard comes out to see reactions then decide when/whether to upgrade. -
My mac seems to be getting slow, what can I do to speed it up?
My iMac seems to be getting slow..I see the "colorful wheel from ****" (as I like to call it) far too often these days. In addition, videos are freezing far more often than they ever did before. It often requires me to restart completely.

I am finding that my iMac 2.8 Extreme core with 2 GB of Ram is too slow, with leopard. it slow from waking up from sleep and switching apps, tiger was a lot more efficient. My guess that the apps, which are cool, may not be worth leopard. Even if I reboot apps still run slow, and no I don't have 100's of app running, just iTunes, mail and safari, and every now and then a Game. This is not the only computer I have running leopard, I also have an iMac 20" 2.0 Core Duo with 2GB Ram and Macbook 1.83 Core Duo with 1 GB Ram, they all run so much slower. I the first time I have upgrade an Apple OS and found that things get slower, Wow it gives me windows upgrade flash backs, and to make think worse I purchased the iMac to run Leopard faster
Ok.. So I know that this isnt a powerhouse MAC but It does what I want it to and its got more than enough power to handle Leopard. Currently I have a Mac Mini Intel Solo 1.5 Ghz Processed and I upgraded it to 2 GB of RAM which should be plenty to run Leopard. Tiger Ran flawlessly on it. Now Since ive upgraded to Leopard Ive noticed that things are a little more sluggish than usual. Bootup seems to lag a little bit. Loading the finder takes longer. And once the finder is loaded and I attempt to open the hard drive or browse folders its contents take a few seconds to show up. and at the time nothing is running but the OS. Ive tried opening the Activity Monitor but that takes some time too. Last night I even tried running a disk check and verify Diks permissions and both attempts failed it seemed to cause the system to hard lock for whatever reason. So I broke down last night and completely wiped my drive and restored Tiger. When I get home from work I will finish the install and then install the leopard upgrade with just a base OS no other apps and see how things run if they dont run much better I may restart all over again and stick with Tiger until apple can come out with an update to solve the slowness issue. Rigth now its making me feel like my computer is an ancient dinosaur and Im trying to pinch pennies by holding onto it instead of buying a new mac when my mac is only a year old

Snow Leopard or "Slow Leopard"?
Since I installed the latest update of Snow Leopard and Safari 5, my Mac Book Air is incredibly slow. 40 minutes to switch users, (I think Apple called it "fast user switching' originally). 5 minutes to save keynote, and so on. Anybody got a solution to this?
I've seen various ways to solve this but it's difficult to suggest solutions without more info.
Launch Activity Monitor before switching to see what is eating resources.
What login items do you have active? Check in Sys Prefs-Accounts-Login items tab.
Try disabling Fast User Switching, then reboot and then enable it again.
Here are some suggestions from Apple when 10.6 is slow.

Do you think that there will be a new mac book with leopard in januarry.
When Mac OS X Leopard comes out in Spring 07 do you think there will be a new macbook. I am now debating over weather to buy my macbook now or later because i am worried that they will do what they did with the core 2 duo and make me able to get like a 2GB macbook for the price i payed for a 512MB macbook.
I know you might say "that you cant put a price on the extra 3 months" but i think that i really would want to wait. What do you recomend?? When Tiger was released was there a new macbook>>>>>?I think the simple answer is "who knows?".
The Original MBP was launched Jan/Feb 2006 and updated to Core 2 Duo in November 2006. It's unlikely that a further upgrade will come within 6 - 9 months IMHO, but as I said at the very start, "who knows?'
If the computer you are considering will satisfy your computing needs now and into the immediate future (say 2 to 3 years), then make your decision based on that.
When I bought my first powerBook G4, it was updated 3 months later with faster processors etc, did I care? Nope. Why? Because the one I had was more gthan capable for my needs. It only slowed up too much a couple of months ago. I suspected a Core2Duo macBook Pro was due to be announced, so waited until it was and bought one to replace my 867Mhz PowerBook.
Frankly I don't care what Apple do with their new models now. I have a Mac Pro, I have a PowerMac G5 Quad and a MacBook Pro, I have no plans on buying any more computers for a couple of years or until the ones I have just don't hack it any more. Then I will be interested in what Apple are offering.
You have to understand that with Intel inside, as I have mentioned in a few threads previously, changes will take place quicker than they did with the PowerPC platform. They've got to since Apple now use the same insides as PC's do. This now makes them directly comparible. If you look at how fast PC's change, it will give you some indication of how quickly Apple will have to update their offerings to either stay ahead of or in line with other computer manufacturers offerings.
Technology always moves on. I buy when something is available that will more than meet my computing needs currently and for the foreseeable future (2 to 3 years on). I don't really care when an upgrade comes along and supercedes the specs on my machine. There's nothing you can do about it. Technology moves on.
Intel have already announced their Quad core technology, so I would guess somewhere down the line Apple will be offering Quad Core CPU machines. However, as the number of cores per chip increases, the Ghz per core drops, so you have to weigh up whether you want a Core 2 Duo running at 2.33Ghz, or a Quad Core running at say 1.6Ghz or less?
If you are worried about buying and then your system becomes outdated, metaphorically, by being upgraded shortly after, why not wait for the launch of the much rumoured Apple Super-Scooper Turbo Charged, time travelling MacBook UltraPro Extreme 332, a 332 core Intel CPU running at 2.0Ghz per core on a 15,000,000Ghz FSB. It will come with 500GB TDDR9 SDRAM (Turbo charged DDR9) and a 50TTB Hard Drive (Turbo charged seek time of -10ms - it accesses before you think about accessing it), graphics are based on holographic technology and no screen is needed, as the graphics are rendered in 3D above the system for true interactivity, also comes with THX certified Dolby 27.1 DTTS (turbo charged DTS with 27 channels). . .
But then that would be updated too of course. Oh well just accept what's on offer now and accept changes will always be made to further enhance and better current offerings. Alternatively just wait forever, eventually there will be a point where computers don't or can't be upgraded or updated to further enhance them. Not in my lifetime though. -

We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac. These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's. When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access. The files that work properly don't have that configuration. I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it. We're all using PC's and they get the Error: Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar. I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions. I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files. Thanks for a solution!!

There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
The issue your having is with the way Keynote takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
If you want to show a wesite or another app on either display, use application switcher:
press the the command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command > tab to return to Keynote. -
Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple.
The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up. Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power. 2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768. Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad.
Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOUThanks for your reply via email/msg. He wrote:
