  • HT1338 My mac is becoming too slow. It takes long to open word documents, pdf files or excel documents or even safari. Can anybody suggest something? I have tried to reduce the number of open applications, but does not seem to work.

    Hi ...
    Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
    From the drop down menu click Restart.
    See if that makes a difference ...

  • Golive CS2 too slow on my Mac g5 to get any work done?

    For the past 2 years I have been slowly building a rather large web site (about 2000 hours invested). We will be selling items we import from india (my girlfriend and I spend 3 moths a year in India) and then there is an entire section on India travel tips, photos and travel logs.
    I am pleased with Golive 6.01 and recently converted my site to CS2, just to find it is very slow on my macintosh G5 and many weird bugs And site looks the same as in 6.01 when previewed in various browsers. Also in CS2 when I click on preview button, the page I want to work on closes and the page that brought me to that page pops up.
    I bought a G5 macintosh which should run CS2 more quickly but:
    I have yet to see my site in Explorer 7 for Windows because Microsoft did not make Explorer for Mac after version 5.0.
    My question is:
    Why not complete site in 6.01 and then before it is published convert to CS2. I can't get anything done with CS2 it is just way too slow.
    Thanks Stuart
    (Could installing 2 versions of Golive on one drive be generating the bugs?)

    Hi all:
    Been cleaning up Site (weird files not in my site but on desktop keep showing up as errors) got ride of them. Turned of my internet connection). Things seem to be getting better.......for now. Working on G4....will move to my G5 and see.
    Might pull this one out.
    Why several target files with only one source show as an error is an irratation because help says it's not really an error and can be ignored.
    OH...one quick question do SOURCE files get uploaded to host when one publishes? Or perhaps a better question! Do SOURCE files need to be uploaded to host. I suspect not...but I also suspect It's OK..might just slow things down a bit?
    Thanks to all of you.....this miserable world needs more like you all!

  • I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run on OS 10.6.8. with 2 GB RAM, 4 GB better, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    Looks as if you're just at the minimum specs - http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/. Says 2GB minimum, 4GB recommended. And 2GB of RAM is all the RAM the 1,1 can handle. If I were you I would call Apple's App Store service center - you have the minimum requirements, as I read it, but perhaps you need a faster processor?
    I had a 1,1 but sold it when I bought my late 2011 in March of this year - maybe it's time to look at a new machine?

  • Oi vay! a mac thats too slow to use DVDs, quicktime, imovi,

    OI VAY!!I believe I was sold a mac, by a mac expert nonetheless, that is far too slow and lacking in memory to watch videos in any form, dvd, file, with quicktime, etc.
    And it seems too old for the updates available.
    its a iBook G4
    version 10.4.11
    processor: 800 mhz (slow!)
    memory: 640 mhz (low!)
    Can anyone pls confirm or tell me otherwise please!?
    thank u all or any replies most appreciated!

    The computer should be able to play DVDs, if it has the correct Combo optical drive,
    (and not a CD-RW basic drive) and the RAM can be increased to 1.12GB by adding
    a chip under the keyboard in the upgrade slot there.
    All in that series should have been able to play DVD media and record/play CD media.
    You can find more specifications about portable Mac and others by getting the
    Mactracker download from http://mactracker.ca and note the iBook (G4) info.
    According to this ^ database (free download) the RAM max is over 1024MB.
    Early iBook G4 tech specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP89
    The software updates for Tiger 10.4.11 should appear when you run Software Update
    from the menu which appears when you click on the Blue Apple in left side menubar.
    You could also get the items which appear in there, direct as stand-alone installers
    from Apple Support downloads online (good for later re-installs, if necessary, if saved.)
    Not sure what the problem really is, in regard to the computer. There is a DVD Player
    which should launch automatically on insertion of DVD media; in System Preferences
    you can choose how media discs are handled in the appropriate Preference panel.
    Note, you may have to buy an iLife version suitable for the computer you have, and
    due to technical differences in the older 800MHz iBook G4 vs some latest models,
    the iLife 09 may have specifications unsupported in the hardware of that computer.
    iLife 06 is better suited for older G4 Macs, and that is a retail installer disc. You may
    be able to get one in the second-hand market. Tiger 10.4 retail disc itself does not
    contain an iLife version, as that was a separate disc. Computers that shipped with
    Tiger 10.4.x included extra software and they had an iLife version, plus AppleWorks.
    You can see a DVD without iLife installed, DVD Player should be in Applications folder.
    iLife '09 Support: http://www.apple.com/support/ilife/
    So, perhaps the alleged expert may have omitted something or the other in discussion
    of the computer; ideally, the best iBook G4 would be the last edition 1.33/1.42GHz 12/14".
    Hopefully this helps a bit.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • My mac got too slow within certain minutes

    Hello,
    I've got a huge problem with my iMac: -
    iMac from 2012
    8GB Ram
    3,4 GHz i7 Quadcore
    1 TB hard disk
    AMD HD 6970M 2GB
    - within only minutes, my mac got unbelievable slow. Way too slow.
    Certain examples:
    My mac isn't able to show the clock on the dashboard fluently, that means, the second hand does two steps, and then the mac stops for 10-15 seconds. The again two steps, then it stops again..
    My mac is useless. After every click with the mouse, the colored circle comes up, and I have to wait for 10-15 seconds.
    I didn't change anything when this problem comes up. On the harddisk is more than 25% free space.
    I am absolutely confused and frustrated.
    I should tell you, that my windows partition on the Mac hard disc works without any problems, so actually the problem cannot be any hardware issues... I think..
    Please, Please help me, I need my mac.
    Greetings
    Tim

  • Mac Os 10.7.4 too slow and buggy

    Mac Os 10.7.4 too slow and buggy,
    its random sometimes fine but mostly slow buggy, maybe the mac os needs a scan buit in to show whats responsible for slow speed.
    like will it result answer conflict with 2 apps running or the mac os its self that sort of inbuilt mac os app is due for us users to enjoy and know
    whats the real problem. like a light in the dark we need more tools in the mac os like whats running now in back ground  and foreground and what
    resources performance/strain is incurred. also is slow due to back ground anti virus work load strain on cpu and ram we need a mac app in built that
    informs us who why and what, how and where then recommend the solution. like quit that app or upgrade ram so on.
    or the app conflicts with safari example thus slow performance.
    anyone else agree? anyone else know a mac app that will do ther above?
    Mac Os 10.7.4 need bug fixes in next update of mac os 10.7.5 do we agree?

    like a light in the dark we need more tools in the mac os like whats running now in back ground  and foreground and what
    resources performance/strain is incurred. also is slow due to back ground anti virus work load strain on cpu and ram we need a mac app in built that

    Hello, Ian.  You will find the information requested above in the Mac Utility called "Activity Monitor"  There, you can find what processes you have actively running, how much of your CPU they are taking, and how much RAM they are using.  You can also check to see whether your RAM is sufficient by selecting "system memory" in the Activity Monitor.  If you are getting lots of "page outs," this means that you are using your hard drive for "virtual" memory and should consider adding RAM.
    With regard to antivirus work load strain, I cannot comment on that--I use only the Mac OS and do not have antivirus installed.  However, if you search in Discussions you can find recommendations.
    I hope this helps.  Take care.

  • Mac pro too slow to use, spinning ball, no finder response, only hard power off, installing system stalls at 18 minutes left.

    mac pro too slow to use, spinning ball, no finder response, only hard power off, installing system stalls at 18 minutes left.
    It is taking an hour to power up and mac apple logo appear onscreen. No finder controls or "clicks" are being recognized. Spinning beachball all the time.
    Using hard power off and holding the mouse down, I was able to open the optical drive and then restart with "c" and ask the dvd to reinstall the system, but it has stalled before finishing the installation.
    This happened about 4 days ago, first it started responding slowly, and then it just keeps spinning the beachball. I can't find hardware test. I did run etrecheck, it did not have any error messages, but I can't copy or move the data anywhere.... I am not able to access the mac pro with another machine, and now I am stuck in install freeze, so I can't copy etrecheck by hand onto a piece of paper.
    Without being able to finish a reinstall, what can I try?
    After it got bad, and before it got REALLY bad, I managed to repair permissions, but it took a long time. Most of a day. When I restarted from that, things were only worse.
    Mac Pro 1,1 , 11 GB ram, 7300, 5TB hard drives, OS 10.6.8,  the drive containing the system folder is/was 700 used, 290 free. While I could get commands to respond, I put Activity monitor on the desktop and watched it.  System memory was 3.31 GB used, about 7 free, and some wired. No app was using a huge amount.
    what should I try next? I put a bid on a new/old machine so that I could move the 4 hard drives over.

    Thank you for all your suggestions. Please correct me as I articulate this.
    I have three versions( 5, 6, CC) of the Adobe Master Collection which I keep active for different clients. I have final cut and motion. I have Office 365. I have a collection of graphic apps that are individually not too big but in all, my app folder is 65GB and my bootcamp partition is 61GB. I can't fit all this on 120 ssd and a 256 will be full once I install, correct? drives should be half open?
    Somehow I did not make it clear enough that I was trying to copy onto a 2TB drive I had just initiallized in order to try and save files from my startup drive. I don't use time machine. I take a day or a few days worth of documents and physically move them to another drive at night.  If a series is finished I make two dvd's as well. The second black drive that was failing was the drive I moved my backup documents onto. At no point was I trying to backup onto the failing drives. I was trying to copy off both of them onto the other two drives, a third aux backup that has been there for a while, and a newish 2 TB which I designated as the startup drive when all this trouble started.
    I wondered if there were any good techniques for trying to get the data off the failing drive. Thanks for the suggestion of Data Rescue 3. I don't have it yet, but I will try it as soon as I get it. I was never trying to repair in place.
    I am very interested in getting a pci bracket and an ssd, but I may wait until I can afford the larger one. If I get an older bracket that is compatible with my old mac pro 1,1  ,  I'd like to be able to move it to a mac pro 3,1 if I get one. Will the larger ssd drives be compatible with the sata in a pci bracket that can work in my mac pro 1,1 ? sata 2 versus something else? If 240 or 256 is my size limit, how much more than my 65 and 61 GB partitions can I put on there? How much of a scratch disc can I make if I leave another 39 GB of headroom on my bootcamp partition? I'm filling 165 GB without making any allowance for temp files.
    You have said that 120 is enough for any system. I think I must be misunderstanding something. Are you saying that assuming that most people run office and photoshop and maybe lightroom?
    I have and use 4 HDD in this machine, mostly for document storage in two places.
    I took out all but the group of 2GB ram chips I bought a year and a half ago. The old ram had passed the hardware test the last time I had access to the hardware test. Two black drives failed, one was a year old and one was a year and a half old, and that it may have been exacerbated by the heat wave. I don't know why the video and the monitor were affected save that the startup drive was failing. I am trying to replace the card.
    With all this said, I am also looking at a used mac pro 3,1 with a better video card since a newer machine will likley be compatible through another OS upgrade. If a machine costs only a little more than a new card, it might be a better way to go.
    I don't have any sources that offer an ssd for 100. ( of a size that is useful)
    How large is your application folder?

  • Why my Mac Pro hard drive noise and too slow?

    Why my Mac Pro hard drive noise and too slow? Totally 8 gb speed system but now very slow . Please give some suggestions

    Another thing you can do in Lion (and ML) is click on the "Info" button in Disk Utility to get the SMART status of the drive.It's more detailed now than it used to be and it might tell you if something is wrong.
    A lot can go wrong with a hard drive which is why I tend to point people to the downloads section of the following web site:
    http://scsc-online.com
    They have a free hard drive troublleshooting download book there. I reccommend people download that before asking questionis because there are tons of problems that can act like hard drive problems when there's nothing wrong with the system at all. For example, how full is the drive? How many applications are running? What's the status of Spotlight indexing? How many apps are you running? How much memory do you have?
    I could probably think up 20 or 30 more if needed.

  • Logic 9 "disc too slow"  2 TB drive for recording audio on Mac pro tower, lots of system HD space 6 gigs ram?????

    I purchased a Mac pro tower in 2008 it has a 320 GB system drive with lots of room left I have 2 500 GB drives and just purchased a new 2 TB 7200 RPM drive just to record from Logic onto it. I have 6 GB of Ram. I have been having this problem for years and I'm getting quite sick of it!.. I just set up a new 24 track project and I'm recording into logic via firewire with my Presonus firestudio and 2 digimax FS units at 44.1k and cant even record a few songs without it stopping in the middle of recording. This is sooo frustrating. Imagine when the band comes up with something cool and asks me to play it back and walk up to my $4,000 mac with my $500 worth of Logic to see it say Disc too slow!. I have seen this problem on many forums. Mac needs to fix this!. It makes me want to make a youtube vid of me burning my Mac with lighter fluid in the yard!. I purchased the "best of the best" at the time and Logic wont even work on a brand new Mac pro properly!?.. Cmon Apple help me out here???

    Now that I've had time to stew over your comments. I do appreciate what you are saying however there should be another way to remedy this problem without having to purchase anything (ie in the software or an update, new version from apple). I ran a recording studio for Several years. I also did put a lot of thought and research into purchasing my Setup and had many compliments on the sound quality. What I'm saying is that Logic 9 should have no problem functioning on my computer. I think mac has made a poor product. I bet if I purchased the Pro Tools equivalent to Logic 9 that i could record 24 channels till the cows come home and get no errors. What I need to know is if there is something that I havent tried in my settings or software that can fix this. I think 6 gigs of Ram should be more than enough to work with. Here is what Apple has to say:
    Minimum System Requirements
    2GB of RAM (4GB recommended).
    Display with 1280-by-768 resolution or higher.
    OS X v10.6.8 or later.
    Minimum 3.4GB of disk space. (19GB of optional content available via in-app download).
    So why should I have to purchase any Ram when it's supposed to work on only 3.4 gigs?... That's why your answer frustrated me. I meant no personal insult. I just think there has to be a better answer out there. I do appreciate your input though .

    iTunes will naturally stop playing since it acknowledges that you're not actively using your current account.
