Macpro slowing down cant access FB

my macpro is slowing down.. it loads slower that i cant even access facebook

Clone the system with SuperDuper
Repair the clone
Do a Safe Boot and then a normal restart
System maintenance and backups.
Too often people with laptop think this forum is for them, it is for workstation though.,
It is hard to imagine a workstation with 4 or more cores and even a paltry 2GB RAM being slow unless it isn't maintained.
Reading page outs, free space, free memory.....
Of course everyone expects or doesn't know what to include, what they will be asked, so we play 20 questions to figure out why,. And know what? there are literraly 1000+ threads in OS System Software forums of the same nature, over and over with much the same 'tips' and such. And I'd say laptops are most frequent to have slow systems. Mayhbe not always.

  • MacPro slows down as adding external FW drives ?

    Is it me or my Mac is now slower ? I have one additional 500GB internal drive plus 3 LaCie and one WD external FW Drives and My MAc is sort of "sleepy". I have a feeling that the additional drives are the culprits but what can I do to improve this situation? Thanks.

    I would assume trying w/o the 4 FW units would be first off.
    Issues with both makes get mentioned from time to time.
    Even a bad cable can be problem, or daisy-chaining.
    What are those drives doing? going to sleep? used sporadically? latest firmware from LaCie? LaCie FW/USB/eSATA enclosures also have slower than expected performance.
    I've run with 4 OWC Mercury FW800 drives, along with 8 external SATA drives running on Sonnet controllers.

  • Airport slows down after the latest update !

    I have a ibook running the latest version of the masOs . After doing a automatic software update ( if I recollect it did a MacOs and Airport update - the computer has slowed down and access the wireless networks with great difficulty ! How do we resolve this problem or go back to the earlier version ?

    What kind of difficulty accessing wireless networks?
    I've experienced no such problems.
    Did you quit all running applications before installing the 10.4.6 update? I always quit all running applications before installing any OS, Software or Security updates.
    Before installing a major OS Update such as 10.4.6, I always check my hard drive for any directory problems with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from my Tiger install disc.
    As a first step, I suggest Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption for system troubleshooting procedures and when doing so, follow all steps/instructions in the order provided.
    To revert to an earlier 10.4 x version such as 10.4.5 will require re-installing 10.4 via your 10.4 install package (archive & install selecting preserve user and network settings) and then update to the chosen version only.

  • Slow down when using SHARE function?

    Whenever I use the share feature to wirelessly transfer files from my Mac Air to my Macpro everything on my macpro slows down. the mouse moves slow- windows take forever to respond- or just will not close at all. I tried switching my wireless mouse to a wire and same issue. Shouldn't the transfer be a background task? Why is it effecting the overall performance of the machine?

    Your explanation makes sense; I had not considered the output size because I thought that the application would make all the necessary adjustments to the size I chose.
    I was not able to find the square pixel reference (below is the advanced area) but I did resolve the issue. At first I changed the output to be 400 x 300, and while the bars still existed, they were greatly reduced. So I took a screen capture and in Photoshop measured the height of the remaining top bar at 3 pixels. So, I reduced my height in PrE7 by a total of 6 pixels to 294 and that completely corrected the issue. Thanks for your help on this.

  • My external hard drive goes in to constant access mode and really slows down my computer

    I'm using an external hard drive for time machine.  After working for an hour or so the drive goes into a constant access mode and realy slows down my IMac.  I look at activity monitor and everything looks good, no high CPU usage or memory issues.  The only fix is to use the power button to shut down my IMac.  After restart it works fine for a while.
    If I turn off time machine the problem seems to not happen.  I tried disk utility on the external hard drive and it says the dirve is fine.  I change out external drives and the problem still occures.  Any thoughts?

    I didn't realize my profile stated otherwise.
    Please check near the bottom of your original post above to see OS X (10.7.2).  You might want to update that to avoid confusion and save some time in the future.
    OK, please take a deep breath.
    Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme....likely because it is not reliable. You might want to review this Apple Support document to confirm:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
    So, we are not going to be able to provide you with much assistance on that issue.
    Some users seem to be able to make this work....some have some problems....and some (like me) who have tried this have nothing but problems.
    Sorry, I can't help on this one, but maybe another user who has had better luck will post to provide his secrets.
    The iTunes and iPhoto libraries and files are my only copies now.  I moved everything from my Macbook to the external then deleted the originals.
    Not sure if you have thought about this.
    If you deleted the "originals", then your only copy of your data is on one hard drive. You have no backups if the drive has a problem.
    A minimum backup plan would be to have a copy of important data on two different drives. When....not if...one drive fails, you have the data on the "other" drive.
    You have no "other" drive according to the information that you have provided.
    Further.....Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point....you cannot know when.....Time Machine will pick up the change on your Mac and delete the iTunes and iPhoto data from your Time Machine backups.
    The files might stay there a few months, or even longer. But, I have seen instances where the files were deleted within a week or two.
    So my advice would be to only delete data from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • Iphoto library seems to slow down my new MacPro.

    so far no one at at the Apple store can have a solution why the new MacPro is RATHER  slow.
    some did suggest that the iphoto library MAY BE  too big...
    also, when I work with it ..( it contains over `12000 items) ..it machine works hard and slow.
    who can help ?
    establish another library ?
    safe the pics on an external harddrive ?
    appreciate your ideas and help,
    heinz

    Open the Activity Monitor when iPhoto is slowing down your Mac and see what processes is soaking up all the CPU cycles.  Also check the Console for messages during that time.  It can also give info as to what's slowing things down.
    Do you have any anti virus software installed or have used MacKeeper, CleanMyMac or similar type of software on your Mac?

  • Slow down in database access

    I have completed a project which automates the procesing of stock monitoring and billing ofacocacola stockist in my home town. The processor need in the machine is P4. I used JDK 1.4 with MS-Access (Office 2000) as backend. I have come across a problem which cannot be detected by me and the service engineers of system also. The problem is stated below.
    (i) When i use the billing module of the project i cannot use the billing screen continuously more than 10 times. I am in need of reloading the software to start again.
    (ii) All the modules get slow down when in use the software more than 45 minutes.
    (iii) When the billing screen get slow an exception is thrown. The name of the exceptio is Event despatch thread queue exception.
    I get this proplem when i use the part of the software which are connected to the database.
    If i use the other parts of the software (non database activities)then there is no problem in using the software.
    I used the same processing for a textile industry's stock monitoring system. There is no problem with the software.
    Is there any timeout value set for the access database's connection or for the swing components.
    Please consider my request and give suggestion as soon as possible.

    Hi,
    I think you try to establish many Connections to the Database, but you don`t close them. This can cause memory problems and the other thing is that your database has a limited number of possible open connections. So there are two ways to solve the problem:
    (1) After using the Database, close the connection immediately in a finally block
    (2) Reuse one (or more) open connections. This is also known as connection Pooling. The advantage of this solution is that the performance of your application will be better because the process of establishing a JDBC Connection has high cost !

  • I upgraded to Maverick system really slowed down, All file access 10-15% slower. Solution?

    After I upgraded from Mountian Lion to Maverick (OS10.9) accessing files and directories on external drives slowed down by at least 10 - 15 %. I get the color wheel and a long wait almost 25% of the time. Is there a solution other than downgrading to 10>8?

    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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 and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    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 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.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • "No pool in place - just leaking" Error slowing down MacPro

    Whenever I am running the creative cloud app. I am getting this error message in my console:
    Creative Cloud[4627]: objc[4627]: Object 0x792c53f0 of class __NSCFData autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking - break on objc_autoreleaseNoPool() to debug
    It comes up every half a second, and is slowing down my computer...
    please help! I was on the phone with tech support for over an hour, and no  help at all.
    Thanks,

  • InDesign slowing down (MacPro)

    Hello. In some events, InDesign (6.0.2) slows down when working with text. This happens with various typefaces (e.g. Adobe Pro fonts), on single or few pages, a couple of styles, some text wrap, justified text, nothing fancy, no line art, very few images, typical display performance, newly installed 10.5.7, all other apps running smoothly with the 3G ram I have. Slow means: I try highlight one word by double clicking it with the type tool. Application beachballs me for 25 secs. Then I go cmd-. (increase point size), or opt-cmd-right arrow, beachball 45 secs. Etc.
    This is not exactly repeatable. Restarting the app doesn't necessarily help. Any ideas? Specific tests?
    Thanks a lot.

    Dear Peter,
    just to catch you up on this problem. I did speak to an Adobe person, and his opinion was that the slowdown was related to a corruption in the document file, and not InDesign.
    I'm also sorry to say that the Adobe tech support person couldn't understand my statement that it could have been a corrupted master page.
    He asked me to quit InDesign. He also had me throw away (from Hard Drive—Library—Application Support—Adobe—SING—Mark II, a folder called "datastore") the "datastore" folder, which regenerated itself when I relaunched InDesign.
    I went into my document and changed the master pages for the problematic articles (this was a journal), and all seems to be working ok. It seemed to be a corrupted master page, a problem I've actually had before, but I don't know how that happens. I just lacked the energy to try to get him to understand the master page corruption problem.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I cant slow down a blue loop?

    hey, ive tried to slow down a blue loop (dance beat 053) but when i change the tempo it distorts or leaves out beats or something from the loop! i just want to slow it down a bit! any help?

    I have Club Dance Beat 053. Is that the one? It doesn't seem to lend itself well to tempo changes. I think that can happen with real audio loops.

  • Open quicktime file to play movie and mac hangs and leaves artifacts (screen smear) on screen mac slows down

    I recently completed a clean install of snow leopard and added some RAM to my MAC
    when I open a QuickTime file... my MAC slows down, I get the rainbow pin wheel and screens and menus that I try to access start to "smear"... leave behind artifacts
    ultimately the movies flutter and don't play properly, and I have to restart my MAC to reset my desktop
    I suspect it may be related to my RAM because I've never had this issue previously although it only seems to occur when I use QuickTime
    ... also I installed "flip for mac"
    I purchased the RAM from OWC
    thoughts?

    The codec info should have been listed before the comma that precedes 640x360. Seems to be a bug in the recent versions of QT 7. If you have QT Pro you can still find the codec name by opening Movie Properties and checking the video format that way. Anyway, since Perian cant play it I suspect you are out of luck in MacOS x. Not all avi decompressors have been ported to OS X. It may be that the compressor is one of the old Indeo codecs and those definitely will not work in X. They will work in the Classic environment but a lot of you folks have given up on Classic. Just in case here is a link to the Indeo codecs for Classic: Indeo codecs for Classic
    Have you tried playing it in VLC. If it is not an Indeo file VLC may play it.
    The Mac version of WMP doesn't play avi or mpeg files -- mostly it plays wmv or asf files and not even the most recent versions of those formats.
