Mac OSX very Slow after update iLife
Dear all;

any ideas how to solve this problem?
Regards;
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mac mini 2010 very slow after update to Mavericks
My mac mini 2010 (2.4 Ghz, 8GB ram) is running really very slow after updating to Mavericks.
Clearly OneDrive is a pain... but had it running on ML as well, and though it is a memory and CPU hog, it never really slowed down the system.
This is what Etresoft says:

My mac become more slower after update to Mountainlion
My mac become more slower after update to Mountainlion
What shoudl I do? can you guys help me? BTW I have update my RAM to 8G
Thank youWhat is your Mac?
What did you update from? 10.6 or 10.7?
If from 10.6 or your machine was at 10.5 at one time, it might be too old/slow for 10.8, you might want to revert to 10.6 again.
How to revert your Mac to Snow Leopard
What do you notice is slower than before? Like Internet or booting or loading programs or UI feel or what exactly?
If it's the Internet, then check this out

Now a fresh install of OS X usually does wonders, this would mean you will need to take acurate account of your installed programs, passwords, export bookmarks and backup all your data to a external storage drive. Keep the boot drive data below 50% filled ideally, (not much for you apprantly, just reduce 50GB of data)
Most commonly used backup methods
Write down your AppleID and password to reinstall 10.8
When your sure, then hold command r boot into Recovery, use Disk Utility to Erase (middle selection) the Macintosh HD partition and wait, it's going to map off fialing sectors. When done quit and reinstall 10.8 fresh and install programs and files from backup into the same named accounts.

That should make things zippy again. Also a #12 OnyX cache cleaning routine
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Another method is this, it's a defragging/performance speed up step, you won't have to reset everything up again from scracth like a fresh install method does. But it requires paid software and a external drive, but makes a excellent bootable backup in the process that can save your behind one day.

When you run out of real RAM you start writing to free hard disk space. This is paging in/out. This is much slower than using real RAM
Add more RAM Basics
Open System Profiler > Hardware
Copy the Serial number and model identifier
Under Memory in System Profiler, you'll see how many slots and what is installed. You need matching pairs. Most likely you will have to replace RAM you have installed unless you have 4 slots and are only using 2 slots.
Go to this page: http://support.apple.com/specs/
Copy the Serial number in the "Search Tech Specs" search box. This will take you to the info on your computer.
Next using the Identifier and with the knowledge of your exact model and how much RAM you can install, go to this site: (There are several sources for memory. This one has good prices and has the video showing how to install)

My Iphone 5 is miserably slow after updating to IOS 6.1.3. I've tried restoring it and nothing works. What happened? It's even restarting over and over on its own
I guess it of no use...It is with subscription....batteries issues will not be entertain....Lots of reasons. Company will not entertain batteries issues unless is really serious.
Anyway, I will continue to use it with bare Apps...I will not buy any apps, no movies, musics...cause it would last me a day. I will definitely not buy any Apps.
the last verison 6.02 was definitely better at battery management...this version is really bad. Do not know why some users said 6.10 improved the battery....but mind did not.
Forget about buying Apple products again...this is mind first time using a smartphone (as a gift too)...and how disappointed I am. Truely, if company wants users to use their products, they should give decent batteries...the IP5 has the same battery as the 4S and 4S last at least 2 days.
With all the hype and marketing that Apple is making...a decent battery should be provided.... I am not asking for anything more....what is the point of having the most advance IOS or hardware..when batteries cannot give users a decent life (2 - 3 days are good enough) not 1 or less day....By the Way, IP5 isn't cheap. It is were, I would not waste my time posting here....
This is really hopeless and pointless
Disappointed, really disappointed and displease. anyway to get back version 6.02..cos 6.10 really hopeless for me. -
My Mac is very slow, after installing mac OS x snow leopard
Hi
I am quite sad to note that the new Mac OS X Snow leopard software is a big let down. After installing i found my mac has become very slow, its taking a long time to process applications and stuff. It does not shut down completely, i get an error message most of the time saying i should press the power button for 5 seconds in order to shut down or off the computer completely.
Please advise should i just go back to the old version or is there a fix to this
ThanksDid you update your applications as well? Which are slow? How much memory is installed? How full is the hard drive?

All internet activity is VERY slow after updates.
Hi. I'm on a flat-panel iMac running 10.3.9. I've got 1GB ram and 17GB left on an 80GB HD. I've got Qwest DSL with an Actiontec modem. I'm going straight from the wall to the Mac. No wireless or network.
My browsers are running incredibly slow after I added a few recent updates to iSync, iTunes, Security Update, iPod and maybe one or two others. It's the same on Safari, Explorer and Firefox.
I checked my connection speeds on several different sites. I'm getting good times on those (4.5 down and 720 up.) Downloading files is no problem. It's just getting to the actual pages that is a pain in the butt. It's weird.
I called Qwest. All the lines looked great, which doesn't surprise me since the connecion speeds were good.
I've emptied the cache on Safari. I've repaired permissions several times. I've restarted everything. Unplugged, then re-plugged every connection.
Everything was cruising along fine until I installed those updates. I'm not saying they're definitely the culprits, but I do wonder if other people have had this problem.
The machine is basically acting like it has spyware, but I know none really exists for Mac.
Any other ideas about what I could try to do?Not sure if this will help but it fixed a lot of issues on my families iphones. Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. It will wipe any wifi details so you need to have those to hand to set them uback p again.
This fixed various problems with no sound when dialling, no ringer etc. May be a providor issue rather than iphone issue though but it is a good tip to refresh all your settings, without affecting anything else on your devices.

Shuting down is very slow after update to 10.5
Hello everybody,
after update to 10.5.3 the shut down process (Mac Book black) takes several minutes. During the process I just see the the background. As I can't see what happens during the shut down prozess, I can't provide more information. So there are two questions:
1. Where or how I can see what happens during the shut down process. to analyze which process takes so much time?
2. May be this is a known issue and there is already a solution for it. If it's true, where I can get some more information regarding the issue.
Many thanks.
Andrejanli, it wouldn't hurt to try running a cache cleaner and trash your system cache files - something could be corrupted which would slow shutdown as it attempts to write to it. There are several out there, but if you want something free (and who doesn't) try ONYX: http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html
