MBP getting slower and SLOWER

I'm really disturbed at the moment. My MBP (sig) has been working fine for a year, but ever since leopard it has been slowing down. Under tiger, boot times averaged >30 seconds, and now under 10.5.2 it takes well over a minute (1:10ish) to boot. When it does boot and I open safari, I get the beachball a lot for the first few minutes until it is "fully" booted (despite menu bar and dock having already loaded and working). Once the computer has fully booted, speed returns to normal, and everything is just as snappy as it used to be. Although I do get the beach balls more often now, for example on multiple occasions I have gotten the beach ball while opening the dictionary, calculator, scrolling through safari, opening firefox, etc...
I have repaired permissions and reset PRAM to no avail. Is there any way I can speed up this computer and improve boot times?

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 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.6.1 is Leopard compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is 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.
OS X automatically defrags 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.
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 presently AppleJack is not compatible with 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):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

  • MBP getting slow?

    Ok so my computer is about 5 or 6 months old now. Its a mbp intel core duo with 512mb of ram. It has been running like a charm. It is so fast for only 512mb of ram I must say, but lately things I would normally do take allot longer.
    For example: Sometimes iTunes can take up to 6 bounces to open. Normally I could do it in two to 3. Mail can take up to 5 bounces. It doesn't do it every day though. Its odd it seems to have its bad days. Some days it is nice and speedy again So what the heck is going on? Is there an app I can get to test the speed of my ram or anything?

    Here I did the test. I have no Idea how to read this. can somebody read it and tell me what my system is lacking? Thanks. --By the way I noticed initial boot times are getting slower aswell.

  • MBP getting slow and sliuggish.

    Hello
    I hope this is the right forum to post this but I'm new to MAC, having bought my first MBP. I also use Final Cut Express.
    My external drive is a LaCie 500gb usb/Fw400/|FW800/eSata and contains all my video files as well as being the time machine backup (not a good idea! ).
    Anyway I thought I heard we really don't need to "clean-out-the-trash" like we do on PC, ie; defragging deleting temp files and the like. However I am noticing that my MBP seems to be slowing down and getting a bit sluggish. Not the peppy thing it was when I bought it 3 months ago.
    Mainly doing video editing and right now have a project with 11 hours of DV video on the timeline in FCE.
    My question is should I be defragging the drives? What other utilities do I need to find and run regularly or does Leapord take care of these things automatically? if so when? A friend told me I had to leave my MBP on all night because Leapord runs it's maintainence at night.
    I'm a bit confused here. Could someone straighten me out a bit?
    Thanks
    Allen

    Hi
    Thanks. What happened was when I booted with the recovery discs, my main screen came up and the boot disc was in a seperate window. I just did it again. PUt in my MAC OS-x Install disc 1. It's in it's own window and there's no menu bar at the top of the window. A the top ofthe screen is my Finder menu bar. The only choices to click on this window is "Install MAC OS-x and Bundled Software.app", or Install Bundled Sofftware only, Below those icons is 2 grey folders, opeional installs and instructions.
    Again should I somehow have made an emergency boot disk?
    I'm using Disc 1 of the 2 discs that came with the MBP.
    Sorry if I'm not understanding something here.
    Coming from PC's when you use a boot disc you don't get any part of your main window showing up. Maybe thats confusing me.

  • MBP leopard 10.5.8 is getting slower and the spinning wheel is constant

    My 1 year old MBP running OSX has got more sluggish. The little multicolored spinning timer wheel keeps appearing a lot more now, and I hate it! My MBP takes drastically longer to boot when i turn it on as opposed to when I just got it. My web pages take a long time to load. Can anyone help me? WHat can I do to speed up my MBP. I am a novice mac user. this is my first mac. I appreciate the help. Again my mac is getting slower by the day and i dont know how to increase its overall performance. Is there any simple software that can boost overall performance or will I have to reformat my MBP? I have a 200gb HD with 50 gb free and 4 gb of ram. I thought with that ram i would have a super fast MBP but I dont. Please help.
    Thanks in Advance,

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Launch the Activity Monitor utility. Pull down the list near the top and set it to "All Processes". Click on the "CPU" column heading to put the highest CPU consumers at the top. Also click on the "CPU" tab in the lower part of the window to check the value for "% Idle". If that value is much above zero, check the other categories for signs of resource problems. If nothing there points to a possible problem, launch the Console utility and look for messages that might suggest a problem. If you see messages that you have trouble interpreting, post them here and someone should be able to help.

  • My mbp is getting slower ??

    i have a mbp (juli 2009) and at first it was fast and snappy and boot up was fast, but it's getting sluggish and slower ever sinds.
    Is there any one who has an idea why it is getting slower ?? And maybe has an idea about how to fix it.
    my harddisk is 50 % full, i have bootcamp installed. And i am running snow leopard.

    Ok, once it says backup complete under the time machine icon in the upper right corner of the screen, when you click on it, examine the directory*

    explains how.

  • BT Inifinity getting slower and slower

    Please forgive the slightly long post...
    I had BT Infinity installed nearly a year ago and was initially promised (based on line checks) a 28 Mbps connection. This was achieved for a week or two until the speed started dropping and finally stabilised around 19 Mbps. I called BT several times and each time the helpdesk staff would perform some line tests (which came back with no faults) and reset my IP profile, after which speeds would improve for a week or two before dropping again.
    In the midst of this, I was contacted by BT and offered Infinity Option 2 with a promised speed (again, based on line tests) of around 68 Mbps. So I agreed and my account was upgraded.
    As before, the connection started off at around 46 Mbps but, after a few weeks, stabilised at around 35 - 38 Mbps where it remained for several months and I was happy enough (although I would've preferred the promised speed). The improved speed meant I started happily watching TV and movies on services like Netflix and Sky Anytime+.
    A few weeks ago, however, I noticed that I started getting regular pauses and extended buffering when watching streamed content. So I ran the speedtest on www.speedtester.bt.com and it came back with a speed of 16 Mbps. I tried again at different times of the day over the next few days and always got speeds of between 15 Mbps and 19 Mbps. In between tests I tried rebooting both the router and the modem.
    A few nights ago I lost connection completely for an hour or so, but it came back eventually.
    This morning I noticed that my general web browsing was slower and performed another test. This time my download speed was assessed at 9 Mbps and I was presented with a request to change my broadband username and perform an additional test step, which I attempted to do. Unfortunately, although I could see the router had connected correctly with the new username, the tester kept saying that it couldn't perform a test at this time and I should try again later.
    I've been retrying the test over the last couple of hours and I keep getting the same error message. The error persists even if I restart my browser and try the test again from the beginning, either with my existing broadband username or the test one.
    So I'm back on my 9 Mbps connection for now and feeling somewhat hacked off, both at paying for a 68 Mbps service that I'm not receiving and because the testing tools provided by BT seem somewhat unreliable.
    Please could someone suggest what might be wrong with my connection that causes the speed to degrade over time? I've read the threads about BT's systems revising the IP profile down, and realise this might be the cause, but it seems ridiculous to reduce the speed of a connection (that's been happily working at 35 Mbps+ for months) and never try to increase it again, unless I phone them of course.
    I can confirm that the modem is plugged into the master socket, the computer is connected directly to the HomeHub using Cat-5e cable and that I'm not running any other software or using any other Internet connected equipment whilst performing the tests. I've done a quiet line test (as had been suggested by an engineer in the past) and the line sounds almost silent to me. I would like to check the SNR, etc. of the connection but this doesn't show up on the HomeHub 3 as it did when I had a HomeHub 2.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    James

    A very helpful engineer arrived on Friday and did a full test of my line, checked all the joints back to the cabinet, the cabinet itself and the connection to the Exchange and couldn't find any faults. He then noticed that I had an older revision of the VDSL modem which apparently should have been replaced due to known problems. The modem was replaced, my profile reset and my connection was back up to 50 Mbps out of a possible 55 Mbps, where it remained for the rest of the evening. I was very happy.
    Unfortunately, the next morning I awoke to find I had no broadband connection at all. It remained stubbornly unavailable for at least an hour, after which point I had to go out. It was back up when I got home.
    Since then, the connection has been down for varying periods, between ten minutes and an hour or two, once or twice a day (it could be more but I'm out at work) almost every day. Performing my first speed test since the engineer's visit shows that, as of this morning, my profile has already been reduced to 33 Mbps, of which I'm receiving 30 Mbps. I have not disconnected or reset the modem or the router since the engineer's visit.
    Whilst I appreciate that this morning's speed is within standard service parameters, I'm worried that I'm going to continue seeing the speed reduce over the next few weeks (as before) and that it's also nowhere near the speed I was told my line should be able to support. On top of this, the regular interruptions to the service are also extremely annoying.

  • Broadband just getting slower and slower

    Hi.
    Our broadband has been getting slower and slower. (0.8 -0.9 mbps)
    I called BT in India on Thursday, who said that BT had 'upgraded my line but the homehub was too old to cope with it' and sent through a new home hub. The lady also told us that we should expect to see speeds of about 3mbps.
    We set up the new hub today and we're now getting download speeds of 0.35 mbps.
    When we called back BT in India, after a long conversation the person we spoke to came to the conclustion that the homehub they sent us was faulty and we'd receive a new one.
    I'm no engineer and I may be cynical, but I have no confidence that this will solve the issue.
    Apparently we are not entitled to to have an engineer because 'the trouble shooting protocol has not yet been concluded'.
    The lady was not able to tell us how many homehubs we'd have to receive to establish that this was the problem.
    Is there anything else I can do?
    Solved!

  • FIRE FOX IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER LOADING PAGES I GO TO ONLINE. IT LOAD CIRCLE STOP SPINNING AND WILL START BACK BUT IT TAKES IT'S TIME TO DO SO. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON THROUGH THE LAST SEVERAL UPGRADES.

    FIRE FOX USED TO BE A FAST BROWSER BUT IT IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER. THE BLUE-E IS ABOUT TO THE POINT OF BEING FASTER THEM THE FOX. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE THE FOX, JUST WANT TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WITH IT AND THE LONGER I HAVE THE WINDOW OPEN ARE UP THE WORSE IT GETS. I DO A LOT OF GAMING ON FACEBOOK PLAYING MAFIA WARS BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST THERE IT IS ALL THE TIME AND EVERY WHERE. I HAVE TRIED ADD-ON'S THINKING THEY MAY HELP BUT NOTHING HAS DONE ANY GOOD. CHROME IS TWICE IF NOT THREE
    TIMES AS FAST AS THE FOX LATELY ON LOADING PAGES.

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

  • Why is my iPod touch getting slower and slower

    Please can anyone tell me why my iTouch is getting slower and slower?
    also why do we have to do so many updates?
    Can I go back to the original software for my ipod touch?
    sorry for so many questions but they are related

    - All I can say in this Apple forum is that downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    - Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Restoring the iPod also helps

    Hi, the last install dvd that came out for mac's was Snow Leopard,10.6.3. Lion is a download from apple. You cannot just install it over Yosemite. You would have to backup your drive to save files you want and do a clean install. You might want to look into getting more memory. You can run 8 Gig"s of memory on your Macbook Pro.If your Macbook Pro is getting really slow you might want to download EtreCheck  and then post the results here.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck  Check out this article.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19031

  • SQL Worksheet Gets Slower and S.l..o...w....e.....r with Use

    Does anyone else notice the more you use SQL Worksheet, the
    slower it gets? The first time I start it up, it'll run a
    compile on an object super-fast. After running a dozen or more
    compiles and test scripts, I notice it's getting slower.
    Eventually, it's so slow I just kill SQL Worksheet and start it
    right back up. Then it's back to warp speed again!
    I'm on a Win2K machine, running Oracle 8.0.6, with version 1.6.0
    of SQL Worksheet.
    I have 2.1 install disc for Oracle Enterprise Manager, but I'm
    uncertain if I can update what I've got (given the release of
    Oracle I'm on). Any help here would be appreciated, too.

    The box does not reboot itself at 7am every day at the behest of BT that is not normal behaviour.
    I think you really ought to fo  a hard reset and clear everything off your hard drive and see if it solves your problem.
    If it does not then you are I think looking at a slowly dying box which needs to be replaced.
    Factory Reset
    Switch off the Vision+ box at the mains socket
    Hold down the front panel OK and down arrow buttons
    Switch on the power to the Vision+ box
    Allow the box to start up (about 15 seconds)
    Release the OK and down arrow buttons
    The Vision+ box will then contact the servers to get a new copy of its firmware
    This will take around 30 minutes

  • BTV getting slower and s l o w e r and s l o ...

    Hi,
    With every upgrade my Silver BTV is getting slower. I used to occasionally get the "Recorded TV is working. Please try later" every now and again, but now I get it almost every time I set up a recording or delete something. I think my record for this to be on the screen is over 20 seconds but 5 - 10 seconds is quite normal. I have done a soft reboot (and obviously BTV decides to do its own really annoying reboot around 7 am some mornings when I want to be able to rewind live BBC Breakfast to 6 am- WHY DOES IT DO THIS?) . This does not help but it least it fixes the other extremely annoying bug where it thinks it is running out of disk space and starts deleting programs when it really has no need to!!!
    Ta, Andy.
