Mac SLOW performance when backing up

Whenever my mac is backing up over wifi to my Time Capsule the performance is terrible! Everything is just SO slow - switching windows, opening programs, sending email everthing!!!!
So to combat this i click 'Stop Backing Up'. Then everthing is back to normal
But low and behold in a few minutes it attempts another back up!!!! Grrrr
1) Is there a way to combat this performance degradation?
2) OR schedule back ups for evenings or when i want??!
I use my mac all day long for work and it's having a real impact on my productivity. I could just turn the Time Capsule OFF but that would just defeat the object of backing up. I just know i'd forget to turn it on again.
I'm beginning to get really sick of seeing those spinning arrows!! >:(

Nothing improper with backing up manually. I can't understand why users (except in special circumstances) would want to constantly backup. Do a manual backup when you go the sleep. Just turn TM off and select it from the TM icon top file menu.

  • InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text

    InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text.
    Running on 2010 Macpro 2.4GHz. 8GB RAM. Any solutions? I've read through many forums on this and tried several fixes.

    Have exact same issue on  my Windows 7 machine. Resetting preferences is a workaround.
    So I start InDesign whilst holding down these keys.
    Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac)
    Whilst inDesign is usable again with this fix- I have to do it every time so it trashes all my preferences so NOT GOOD long term fix. Otherwise InDesign freezes and can only be stopped by forcing a quit.
    I have manually deleted the preference files and I have created a brand new admin account - but still no luck - will be onto support tomorrow

  • My mac has slow performance when running two or more applications, ran onyx and cleaned cache but my macbook is still running slow. Recommendations?

    I've had my MacBook White running on Mac OSx 10 for about 2 years. My sister has the same type of MacBook and she isn't having any slow performance. I really don't want to install RAM and that can't be the end all be all of solutions. Please help!!

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: 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. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    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 had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard 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. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency 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 commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire 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):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup

  • Ridiculously Slow Performance when Movie Scoring - brand new macbook

    Hello there guys ! Sorry for my bad english, i will try to do my best.
    The title almost says it all. I have a brand new Intel Core Duo Macbook (White, 2ghz, 512 ram, I haven't added any extra ram or anything).
    The machine is blazing fast, I am really loving the experience. But when it comes to using a feature I would love to use everyday, it disappointed me. The movie score feature in Garage Band 3. So, I create a very simple movie in iMovie HD 6, capturing video from my fireware camera.
    It is a very simple video, no soundtracks, just the original sound that came with the camcorder footage. No stills, reverse, slow-motion, effects or anything. Plain video with sound, just the way it came from the camcorder.
    The problem is when creating a movie scoring project with that footage in garageband 3 , the performance is RIDICULOUSLY SLOW. I mean, I press space and the movie strats playing after 1,5 seconds, and the video is halting every other second. It is so laggy that when i press space again to stop the video, the motion continues for another 1,5 seconds until it pauses.
    There's absolutely no way to do any work in conditions like that. And the strange thing is that when using garage band to do other stuff, or when working in iMovie with that same movie there's no lag at all. I have even edited 30 minute long videos with effects and soundtracks in iMovie and it was blazing fast, no lag, no halting.
    But in Garagaband even the simplest of all videos gets this ultra-slow performance, and it makes me wonder why.
    - I have tried desabling recording on the audio track in garageband. I have tried to lock the track. I have done all the steps in the optimizing garage band performance in the help. I don't have firevault activated.
    Any help ? Does anyone have a macbook just like mine that is able of doing moving scoring ? Because EVERYTHING ELSE is ultra fast, including video and audio editing, but when movie scoring it *****.
    Apple Macbook 13inch 2.0ghz Core Duo 512 60GB White SuperDrive   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Ha! It's funny really - you say it all yourself; no extra ram, it doesn't come with enough to run Pro Apps and when you start to use the Scoring feature you are accessing two different functions - playing movies and music tracks - movies are always a stress unless they are very small and the Right Codec - so first up - what format is your movie? Do you have Quicktime Pro? if the answer is No - get it, it's not expensive and it gives your machine many extra abilities - you can then convert your footage to something easy to play.
    How many tracks are you working with?
    Get more RAM - MacIntel or MacPro needs 4-6 gigs to multi-task happily - with only the base load of RAM it can't.
    I have a DP 2 Ghz G5, no where near as fast as yours but I have 4.5 GBs of RAM and a fast graphics card with 512Mbs VRAM - this means Motion and FCP can fly.
    We are about to get a MacPro 2.66 Dual with 6 GBs RAM, essential.
    Hope this helps.

  • Slow Performance when program was once 100% proficient

    I am working on a 2011 Macbook Pro - OS X version 10.9.5
    For over a year I have been working in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on this computer with no issues.  Recently the program began running EXTREMELY slow - for example., taking well over an hour to render video that previously would render in only a minute or two.  Went to Apple - thinking it was my MAC - diagnostics on the MAC show the computer itself is fine.
    Purchased Premiere Elements 13 (liked the new features and offerings) and was naively hoping it would fix my slow performance issue. 
    But program is still running horribly slow.
    Any suggestions or similar issues?

  • Extremely slow speed when backing up onto Airport Extreme disk

    I have a wireless network set up with the Network Extreme basestation. The basestation has a 500 GB iomega drive attached via the USB 2.0 port. The disk comes up just fine, but when I try to use it as a backup disk from my iMac using SuperDuper!, I get an effective peak copy speed of 1.9 MB/s, and it takes multiple hours to perform a ~30 GB backup. The disk is Mac formatted.
    For comparison, if I plug the disk directly into the USB port on my iMac, the peak effective speed is ~15 MB/s and the backup takes 35 min.
    The iMac and the basestation are both running 802.11n, with an effective speed of 130 MB/s.
    On the off chance that it was the disk imaging process that was slowing things down, I have run SuperDuper! with disk imaging back to the iMac's HD rather than the Airport Extreme HD and it runs at ~20 MB/s.
    To review:
    - Trying to backup to the Airport disk runs really, really slowly and takes forever
    - It's not the network speed, the HD speed or the software.
    What's up? Anyone else have this problem? One of the reasons I bought the Airport Extreme was to use it as a network back-up HD. If it going to take a day to copy a full iMac disk, then this is clearly unsatisfactory.

    I would echo Glyn's assessment. One needs to keep in mind that Apple designed this product as a low cost device to meet the typical requirements of a home user (ie streaming of music, sharing of a few files, and backups without time constraints). If one needs the performance levels typical of a network file server, then this is the wrong product to use. Perhaps Apple's marketing information for this device should make that a bit clearer.

  • Is this slow performance when importing CD's into iTunes ?

    Hi,
    My new iMac 20" arrived this weekend. Since then I've been getting acquainted, being new to Macs. I wanted to build up my iTunes library, so I grabbed a box of my CDs and began importing them one by one. I was expecting my new iMac to really fly through them after reading the reviews of how much faster the new Core 2 Duo are over previous iMacs. I remember a table of stats in the MacWorld reviews, and for iTunes test, these machines were clocked at under 2 minutes for whatever it was they ripped in iTunes. YMMV certainly applies, but I was setting my expectation that my iMac could rip a CD in 2 - 3 minutes.
    Umm, my experience is way off that. In fact, I would say my iMac took about as long to rip a CD as my 7 year old Dell PC with 256 MB of mem and a first gen Pent 5.
    I decided to pick a CD and time how long it takes to import on my iMac, then take same CD and time how long it takes to import into iTunes on his new PC.
    CD - Rush, Moving Pictures, 7 songs, 39.8 min, 403.1 MB
    Encoding - AAC, 192 kbps
    My rig - iMac 20", 2 GB RAM, 256 MB VRAM, Core 2 Duo and 250 HB with latest version of OS X
    My son's rig - intel D955xbklkr socket 775 atx mobo, intel pentium D840 3.2 GHz processor, Corsair twinx pc5400 DDR2 667 Mhz mem ( 2 x 1024 mb ), HD - Seagate 250 GB SATA2 7K with 16 MB buffer, Pioneer DVR-111D DVD burner, and XFX 7600GS extreme graphics card, Win XP Pro, SP2 ( we built this beast with gaming in mind, with his own money ) * the CPU and memory are NOT overclocked and no other tweaks. just build it, install it and run it.
    The results:
    iMac - 7 minutes
    PC - 2 minutes
    I ran the import twice on each machine and came up with the same results.
    Neither machine was running anything else at the time.
    Granted there are some differences between the machines that should account for some differences, especially on the hard drive, with SATA2 and a nice 16 MB cache ( it's one sweet HD ) on the PC, but this difference is huge. We're not talking 20, 40 or 60 % faster on the PC. This was > 3x faster, so basically over 300% faster.
    Anyone have an idea ? Without digging into the specs, I'd say the DVD drives should be able to read equally fast, the Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz with 4 MB cache should be equal if not superior to the older, D 820 3.2 GHz, the memory is the same speed, but I'm not sure about system bus speed on the P C ( 800 MHz ? ). Graphics cards don't factor into this equation, but the HD probably plays a big role, and I think the Seagate in my son's PC has the iMac beat hands down.
    What are other iMac C2D owners seeing for average import times ?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Trevor,
    When you say your superdrive rips, the import speeds are typically around 20x, what encoding method and bit rate are you using ?
    I imported another CD and watched for what import speed numbers were displayed. Routinely, they hovered around 8x and sometimes up to 12 or 13x, but never higher. I was told by someone at our local user's group meeting that ripping at AAC 192kbps was a double-pass, I think that was the words they used, and therefore slower. ( Many members thought 7 minutes to rip was typical ) I'm not so sure if that means the drive will only spin at half it's rated max speed ? Anyway, I walked over to my son's PC with the CD and ripped it at AAC 192kbps to his iTunes library. The numbers I saw were from 18x to frequently 23, 24 and sometimes briefly to about 26x. His drive has a max of 40x. By my reasoning, anything that would cause iTunes to rip this CD at a slower speed, whether due to the encoding rate or the CD's surface condition, should affect both computers equally, yes ? Yet the drive on the PC performed on average at twice the rate of the iMac. I think it's safe to say the rip speed is comfortably within the operating margins of both drives.
    I'm not yet fully convinced this is normal for an iMac. My CD are in excellent shape. I'm the only one who uses them and I handle them with about as much care as the old audiofiles used to when they handled their vinyl LPs ( well, at least not as far as wearing cotton gloves and sweeping the dust off ). Most of them have absolutely no visible scratches or oily finger prints on their surfaces. I might experiment and see what rates I get if I use MP3 or a lower bit rate for AAC.

  • Slow performance when moving bunch of vector shapes

    Hi there,
    Photoshop CS6 Beta is soo slow in comparison to Photoshop CS5 when moving lots of vector layers. Check the videoa below please:
    CS6 - http://screencast.com/t/wBOzhTySdSf
    CS5 - http://screencast.com/t/ab7BDbgNxUYe
    - GPU Settings Enabled in both
    - GeForce GTX 560, latest drivers
    - i7 3,4 GHz, 16GB RAM
    Why CS6 is so slow in this situation?
    EDIT:  I found the Problem comes form the Layer Palete. Take a look how changing the tabs form Layers to Channels affect the moving performance : http://screencast.com/t/Gi01o1GzFPzJ
    This have to be fixed, as in more complex files this will be huge problem..
    Regards,
    SK

    Hi,
    Nothing peculiar at all. Normal text laters.
    Each field have subgroups with info - http://screencast.com/t/ykon4QwdBxC Overall lots of layers there, but in CS5 no problem to move them.
    Still can't understand why I can move all of these better when layer palete is not displayed.
    Test file - https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0phn6xiF-cobkc3cUViM0dSV3ktYk5Vbm5Bci1TUQ
    Please test it on CS5 (you will notice how smooth it is) and CS6 on both try to switch between layers palete and channels palete and try to move to see the difference. Move whole group named "Form",
    Please let me know if I can help with something else to define the problem.
    /I'm using Windows 7 x64, Photoshop CS6 beta x64/
    Thank you!

  • Extremely slow performance when external drives are plugged in.

    I've had lots of freezing issues during startup just recently. After a lot of messing around I removed an iOmega Firewire HDD that was constantly plugged in and the freezing issues have gone. Great! But as I tried to plug it back into my machine once everything had loaded up, the machine became unusably slow.
    I've also tried plugging in USB drives, like my iPhone, camera and memory stick and it has the same effect.
    Anyone else had this same problem or any ideas how to fix it?

    HI,
    *"I've also tried plugging in USB drives, like my iPhone, camera and memory stick and it has the same effect."*
    How much free space on the startup disk? Might be an underlying issue ...
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*
    If you need to free up space on the startup disk go here.
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html
    If free space is not an issue, then boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart

  • Slow performance when resizing windows

    Hi I have a macbook pro 2.2ghz with 2gb ram. Certainly capable of resizing windows, however when I resize windows I get very poor performance. I always have to wait for the window to redraw on screen. This is unacceptable. This powerful of a machine can't resize windows in real time? I'm running Tiger 10.4.11. Is this normal behavior? Anyone else experience this? I appreciate any help. Thanks.

    That's not right. What happens when you run your visualizer in iTunes? You should be able to get 60 FPS. Try running your hardware tester once and see if you may have a graphics problem.

  • Slow Performance when using USB HD with Time Capsule

    I have a 500 GB Time Capsule that I primarily use for network storage for 4 computers (3 Windows and a MacBook Pro). There is about 250 GB of data on the TC. After doing my research, I hooked up a 2 TB WD My Book to the TC USB port (after first reformatting the My Book using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). TC recognized the NAS HD just fine, but when I tried moving files from the TC to the My Book, it took FOREVER. 66 hrs to copy all 250 GB; 46 hours to move 60GB). I tried connecting the My Book directly to my MB Pro via USB and files moved quickly (15 minutes for 10GB). With the My Book connected to the MB Pro, I can access TC over Wifi and copy files directly onto the My Book in little time (again about 15 min for 10 GB). Any idea why the USB transfer rate between TC and the NAS is so slow? I have the most current TC firmware.

    That thread is 5 years old
    ???? It's from three days ago. The electronic book it references was updated last year.
    Plus that was talking about a 2002 Airport Extreme base station, whereas I have a 2009 Time Capsule.
    As I mentioned above, the source I quoted is from last year. The thread I cited mentions nothing about
    a particular year of base station. Where do you see that stuff?
    As for my wifi connection, it seems very fast in all respects. As I mentioned, when I connect the external HD to my MacBook Pro and transfer files over my wifi from the Time Capsule, it boogies along. At any rate, I am not sure why the wifi would have an affect on the transfer rate of 2 disks connected by a USB cable.
    My point was that, if that data has to travel over your Wi-Fi connection, the quality of that connection could affect the transfer speed you see. To investigate that possibility, I'd connect your Mac to the AirPort base station via Ethernet, turn your Mac's AirPort circuitry off, and repeat your tests that way.

  • Resource forks -- are they what is slowing CCCloner when backing up?

    I've been testing CCCloner and SilverKeeper as backup utilities. I've used SK for the last 8 years and haven't noticed anything amiss. In my situation, it searches for changes during an incremental backup about 8 times faster than CCC. Mike Bombich, the author of CCC, has responded to my query about why this is the case with a detailed explanation (see http://forums.bombich.com/viewtopic.php?t=15540, last post), part of which reads:
    For the purpose of this conversation, though, the gist is that you have many files that have two data structures -- a data fork and a resource fork. Each of these data structures can change independently of each other. Resource forks, however, do not have modification dates -- the modification date of a file only refers to the data fork. As a result, backup utilities have a choice among three methods for determining whether to backup the resource fork as they scan your filesystem:
    a) copy every resource fork, every time, just to be on the safe side
    b) copy the resource fork of a file whenever the data fork of the file changes, or when the size of the resource fork has changed
    c) compare a checksum of the resource fork on the source and target to determine if the resource fork has actually changed
    According to Mike, SK uses method 2 whereas CCC uses Method 3, explaining why it is so much slower for my backups -- because 36,000 of my 58,000 files have "extended attributes" which are probably resource forks.
    My question arises because I want to make sure the SK is accurately backing up my PS files. Is it possible that a utility using Method 2, could miss some change in a resource fork of a PS file? To put it another way: are there any instances where PS could change a resource fork, but the data fork is unchanged and the size of the resource fork is unchanged, resulting in Method 2 not backing up that particular file?
    I must have backed up in excess of 100,000 PS files over the years, and haven't noticed any problems. But then again, I have rarely had to call on my backups.

    Why not use Time Machine instead of some "third party hack" for your backups?
    CCCloner is worthless garbage IMHO. I tried to restore a system with it after a HD replacement and it wouldn't work because the owner changed user name and/or password on reinstall of the OS. Thus it wouldn't recognize the Library to copy the files. In fact, it wouldn't grant access to the backup, claiming permissions conflicts. I had to run a CHMOD and CHOWN from Single User Mode to be able to get to backed up files, but the Library and Applications were useless.
    From what I know of it, CCC is OK for cloning a brand new hard drive to put in a new machine, but beyond that it's way too complicated in what it does and how.
    As far as PS changing data or resource forks, I was never aware that it did. I could be mistaken.
    This question would be better answered by the developers of SilverKeeper though.

Maybe you are looking for
