Macbook slow and hot with skype 7.6 running
Hi, since I upgraded to Skype 7.6 on my macbook last week fan keeps running and cpu at over 100% slowing down computer significantly while using Skype. Has anyone had similar problems and figured out what to do?Thanks
yeah, i my skype raises the cpu to 100% and i cant do anything. there is no real advice on what to do and it really pisses me off because it was running really well. my computer isnt good but previously i could play games like l4d2 on max settings and be in skype and stuff but now i cant even play youtube videos if im in a call. i really need a fix for this. im sorry but i have a windows computer so it isnt really the same but as frustrating!

Mackbook running slow and hot with osx lion
Does anyone else have the same issue with Lion on their macbook or know what to do to sort it?
My macbook takes for ever to start and open apps (sit looking at the beach ball for ages waiting for web browser to open and I've tried the lated versions of Chrome and Firefox - all the same). the same issue with most apps espeacially itunes.
Also the cooling fan seems to run overtime now and a lot harder than when snow leopard was installed (I can't remember hearing the fan running) and can the open apps which were open when the mac is shut down be disabled once and for all or do you have to check the box every time?

After upgrading my iPad 2 is slow and hot, is the a solution?
My Ipad 2 is very slow, and hot never have this....is their a solution?
I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 6 as soon as it was available, and, since the upgrade, I've noticed a significant increase in the rate of battery drain. I charged my iPad overnight last night, and it was 100% charged when I started using it this morning. I made sure that Location Service and Bluetooth radio were off. I used it to web browse, compose an email, and read a PDF document. I used it for about four hours continuously, and the battery was down to 50%. That is draining the battery much faster than before the OS upgrade. Unfortunately, I did not backup the iPad before upgrading. I did the upgrade over WiFi. The PC on which I have iTunes died, and I don't have a replacement machine on which to back it up yet. If I had a good backup, I'd restore it and forget about this upgrade until there's a fix for the battery problem, if there ever is one. I'm glad I waited to upgrade my iPhone 4S. I rely on it more and don't want to deal with rapid battery drain on it. I upgraded to the iPhone 4S from the 3GS. My 3GS was rendered almost useless when I upgraded to iOS 5 when it came out and caused rapid battery drain on the phone, which Apple never fixed. Also the performance of the 3GS with iOS5 was so slow I could hardly stand using it for anything. That experience led to my decision to wait on upgrading my 4S to iOS 6. It's unfortunate that such a great family of products is plagued with this battery drain problem, and with all their resources, Apple cannot or will not fix the problem. As far as I know, they have not even acknowledged a battery drain problem with iOS 6. To me, the battery drain problem is much worse than the problems with the mapping software that Apple is using to replace Google Maps in iOS 6. Rather than apologizing, I would like for Apple to acknowledge the battery drain problem and fix it.

My problem is that after upgrade to IOS 6.1.3 my iphone not sounds! dont have sounds notifications for whatssap, FB, mails and can't listen music and talk with skype without headphones or speakers! only have vibrator and sound for one coming call!! what can i do!???? Thanks a lot for help me!!!!
I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day. -

IMac G5 (w/iSight) running slow and hot on web browsers
Hello-
I've had my iMac for 4+ years and haven't any problems I couldn't fix on my own until now....
Machine is an iMac G5 w/ iSight with all original hardware except an extra 2GB of memory (for a total of 2.5). Over the last couple of months, my web browsers have begun to run slower and slower (mainly Safari, but I also use Firefox). Also the processor fan (I believe) comes on more quickly and frequently. It is now to the point that anytime there are any imbedded graphics, whether it's a youtube video, or a weather radar loop, or my kids are on webkinz, the fan kicks in and the top left corner gets extremely hot to the touch. As soon as I leave the page or close out the browser, the fan dies down. I cannot run any of these sites optimally. I am also getting quite a lot of page loading errors in Safari such as "Safari can't find the server." However, when I hit refresh the page comes right up. There does not seem to be a pattern to these messages. This only seems (so far) to be an issue with the browers. Today I simultaneously played a DVD, played songs on iTunes, and work in MS Word. No fan...
Here's what I've done so far:
Repaired disk permissions
Ran the extended hardware test (passed, no errors)
Ran diagnostics on my network connection (passed)
Reset Safari and Firefox incl. clearing the cache and deleting all cookies
Ran cleaning and maintenance w/ OnyX
Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated!
Thanks...
JDWhich Camino? Do you have the latest, which I think is 2.0.3? It's difficult to pinpoint why all your browsers might be slow to load.
You could try the Servers from OpenDNS which may be faster (and safer, since they are patched for DNS poisoning/redirects) than those of your ISP. Put these numbers in Network> DNS for the interface your are using, eg. Ethernet, Airport:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then check to see if it's working by going to
http://www.opendns.com/welcome/
You can also test your speeds here
http://www.speedtest.net/
Here's something to read on slow browsers (in this case, Safari, but applicable to any browser.)
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10354948-263.html
If the refresh option works quickly, that might indicate that your Internet speed is slow. Once you've been to a page, it's stored in the browser cache, so it doesn't need to reload everything from scratch. I don't notice any difference in speed from refresh loading, so I suppose my Internet speed, though only around 1MBPS, is fast enough not to have to depend on the cache.
I don't know for certain if that indicates a problem, but the CPU spiking temporarily to 100% on loading a page doesn't sound like a big problem. Your processor is by now relatively slow compared to newer machines and web pages are getting more complicated with more elements to load all the time.
Finally, those G5s do run kind of hot; it will only delay the arrival of the hottest temps, but putting a fan at the back does help a little. I use one even on this new iMac.

Firefox slow and unresponsive with facebook and zynga and then locks up for all other tabs open
I finally had to uninstall the beta 4 version as I couldn't take the issues any longer. The browser would become slow and then totally unresponsive mostly when using facebook and zynga. however, all tabs would become slow and unresponsive and would have to be rebooted. It wouldn't be 5 minutes and it would have to be done again. Even without facebook/zynga loaded in a tab, the entire browser is unbelievably slow. I am running mac os x 10.5.8.
I went back to the old version until I hear back as I just don't have time to sit and wait and wait and wait only to have to reboot the program constantly.I found a "work around". I installed Incredible Bookmarks 0.7.3. That allows me to add an additional Bookmarks Toolbar without causing the bouncing problem.
Putting bookmarks in the IB bar was a little tricky. It allows customization, but only to the extent of choosing bookmarks by topic or by a subdirectory of the Bookmarks Menu. What I actually put on the toolbar are such subdirectories (or folders), so I normally could only put one at a time. (This problem doesn't exist with the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar, which allows you to copy subfolders, not just individual bookmarks).
I solved the problem by moving the additional folders I wanted to put in the IB Toolbar into a folder I (cleverly) called "IB Toolbar", then selected that for the actual Toolbar. The result: a row of folders, exactly what I wanted. (Actually, it's a second row of folders, since I still have the original Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar.)
I'd still prefer MultiRow, but that doesn't appear to be working with Firefox 3.6.18 and higher, so until I upgrade to Firefox 5 (and see if the Plus version will work) this will have to do. -
Before with firefox 3 and 4 I could call phone numbers with skype directly off of the web page by clicking the phone number. This feature no longer functions in firefox 5. What do i need to do. When I go to your website I can only download 5. I would like to back up a version if I need to because I use this skype calling numbers function daily. Please help
Firefox 4.0 is no longer available. You can download to the previous secure version which is 3.6.19 from here: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.19]
To ensure a clean installation, please do the following:<br><br>
#Go to "Programs and Features" in Control Panel and remove "Mozilla Firefox" choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
#Then reboot, open Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox".<br><br>
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded earlier.<br>
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
Having said that, make a backup of your bookmarks as a precaution as follows:<br><br>
#Click the orange Firefox button, go to '''Bookmarks''', then '''Show All Bookmarks''' to open the Bookmarks Manager.<br><br>
#Click the link to '''Import and Backup '''and then click '''Export HTML '''and save the file somewhere.
You can use the same Bookmarks Manager to import the file you saved by choosing "Import HTML". -
Why is my macbook Slow and fan always running
I recently upgraded to Mavericks, and since then my computer has been slow and lagging a lot. I see the perpetual spinning beach ball more than I would like. I have done everything I can think of within my knowledge to rectify the problem but it still seems slow to me. I have unistalled apps, cleared caches, run an antivirus, run onyx and cleanmymac applications. I don't know what else I can do. I also find that my fan is running constantly and when I look at the activity monitor nothing is eating my CPU, in fact it is always below 10%. Here is my most recent Etrescheck. PLEASE HELP!! I'm open to all and any suggestions. Thank YOu

"Essential" is defined to specifically exclude CleanMyMac as well as all similarly ill-conceived "cleaning" products that are likely to have similar effects. Never install such junk on a Mac.
Erasing your Mac will have the benefit of eradicating it, the useless Avast garbage, and Internet Plug-Ins as well.
You are likely to need more memory. 2 GB is barely sufficient to run any OS later than Snow Leopard. Your MacBook can address as much as 8 GB and I recommend at least 4 GB. -
IMessage order on MacBook Pro and problems with iPhone iMessage
Hi,
I use my iMessage on my MacBook Pro and on my iPhone. In iMessages on my Mac I have it set to use two addresses, my phone number and my icloud email. I have the same on my phone.
When I receive a message it is ordered correctly on my phone with the most recent being shown last and the oldest I need to scroll to the top. But, on my MacBook when I open messages they seem to be ordered all over the place and I need to scroll up sometimes and I find that the most recent is sandwiched between two others in no real time order. Can anyone help me understand and correct this problem.
Also the other day, my iPhone imessage started playing up and randomly ordered the messages ut it has now reverted to the correct format. Please can someone help?
Thanks
MattBased on information in another answer I tried the following ...
After doing what blueno suggested I did have to reboot. I then had to provide my password lots of times when I logged in. That still didn't work so I logged out of my iCloud account in Message and logged back in, repaired, and it worked!
This is what I did:
1) Open Key Chain Access ( go to Applications>Utilities)
2) Select Login at the top left side under Keychains
3) Select All Items on the lower left side under Category
4) Search for entries of IDS.
5) Highlight and delete all entries that has IDS.
6) Search for entries of FaceTime
7) Highlight and delete all entries of FaceTime
8) Search for entries of Messages (I also found entries containing Message (singular, not plural), but didn't delete these.)
9) Highlight and delete all entries of Messages
10) Reboot!
11) Log back in and when requested log back into iCloud account (I got asked for the password multiple times)
12) Log out of iCloud account in iMessage (Not sure if this is needed)
13) Log back into iCloud account in iMessage.
14) On iPhone in Settings/Messages/Text Message Forwarding turn off forwarding to my iMac.
15) Turn Text Message Forwarding back on for my iMac (re-pairs and I entered the new number)
16) Could send text messages from my iMac!!!!!
But it was short lived. One message was sent using SMS (that should have gone through using iMessage and then back to the same error message. So I am back to square one. -

Dear all,
I got a white MacBook since early 2009.
Since a few months, it became quite slow and noisy.
At the beginning, it started to do so when screensaver was running or when playing videos on on the web. Launching applications is taking up to 30-60 sec (iTunes, for example).
At the moment, it gets very noisy and slow even while doing normal operation, such as visiting no videos/no images pages. Currently it is used only during evening or weekends, but not always extensively.
Any solution? Problem of RAM memory?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
DavideI would open Activity Monitor (Utilities folder) and select the CPU tab....from that window choose 'All Processes' and look for a background process that may be using too much CPU%....
...also download and install this widget...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20364/istat-pro
....it will give some system info....like fan speed....
...if some process is stuck/hung and running up the CPU it would explain the fan and the slowness....
...you might also reset the SMC following these instructions...

In the past several days I've noticed my Mac getting really slow and/or freezing. This primarily happens when Safari is running but it doesn't seem to be any particular website causing the problem. I've checked for malware using BitDefender. Anyone else having problems or know of a solution?
