MBP slowed down and crashes

Hello, I have MacBook pro Mid 2012. After update to Mavericks, my laptop really slowed down, started crashing, lagging, especially Safari, Launchpad have lags, in general video performace is bad, also Activity Monitor shows that browser takes 100% CPU, temperatures are higher in comparison to Mountain Lion.
Resetting SMC, PRAM and reinstall don't help.

OK, so I booted OS X Recovery and Disk Utility - according to it, everything is fine.

Then, I started in Safe Mode and still there was poor graphic? video? performance, I understand that it shouldn't be perfectly smooth, but there was weird flashing, crashing and stuff. Photo:
You can see some of it (it's from Safari, but for example Launchpad is even worse). It's like that all the time in Safe Mode. I don't know if that's normal.
And I did SMC reset again, but it also didn't help.
Oh and apps often crash when I first start them, but then, I repeat action and they open.
Funny story, Mavericks should improve performance, better video memory and ram, but I'm experiencing completely different story.

    morrisroe,
    were any of the crashes due to GPU panics?
    It looks like something has modified your /etc/hosts file — do you know which of your apps has done that?
    Did you ensure that all of your installed third-party apps are compatible with Mavericks before upgrading to Mavericks?
    Your Silverlight plug-in is out of date; you can download the latest version (5.1.30317.0) from here.

  • Macbook keeps slowing down and crashing

    Hi,
    I started having this problem about 2 weeks ago. Everything was working fine, then out of nowhere, my macbook froze. I waited for about 10 minutes, then I turned it off. When I turned the computer back on, it was EXTREMELY slow. It took 15 minutes just to boot, and after that, even when i just moved the cursor, the rainbow wheel would appear and keep spining for 20 minutes. It was impossible to do anything. So I decided to restore the hard drive from a backup I had. After I did that, it worked fine for a couple hours, then the same thing happened. Then I did some research and concluded that my hard drive was dying, so I got a new one, restored it from my backup and replaced my old hard drive. But after a few hours same thing happened again.
    So I know the problem is not related to the hard drive. Also, I everything seems to work fine when I boot from an external hard drive. Only when I replace and boot from the internal hard drive connection, the slow down occurs and eventually gets to a point where I can't do anything with my computer. Sometimes I can repair it using the disk utility and diskwarrior, but it doesn't last long, eventually it starts slowing down again and then the same thing happens. The operating system doesn't make any difference either. It happens both with Leopard and Snow Leopard.
    I'd appreciate it if anyone knows what would be causing this problem.
    Thank you.

    How much free space on the drive?
    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 15% free disk space.
    I have more than 50% free disk space. I did have some slowing down problems before because of disk space, but this time it's different. It's not a regular kind of slowin down, it slows down so much that it becomes imposible to do anything. Even when I just move the cursor, rainbow wheel appears and doesn't go away for 10 minutes.
    But thank you anyway.

    Your RMI server invokes a JNI method as you mentioned. It seems your system resource is become very low as from the exception from "ZoneInfoMappi"
    (Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service...I would suggest the following
    1- remove the JNI method invocation and replace by a simple method which does nothing special ( counting etc..)
    2- Run the RMI sever and stress test it again
    If you see the RMI server is working well after 12 hours, then your native method is leaking i.e consuming the system resources ( RAM etc..)
    You should profile the running RMI server using jconsole

  • Adobe Reader 8.1 causing slow down and crashes

    Despite safely using 7.0 for years, when I updated to 8.1, my computer slowed to a snail's pace and froze frequently, more than hourly. I have definitely traced the problem to Adobe Reader 8.1 (8.1.2?)because the problems disappeared the several times I uninstalled it. I am now using 7.0 without any problems. Does any one have an idea what the problem is? Can I ever safely upgrade to Version 8?

    There were times when Terminal showed 100% CPU usage. Also during the test I crashed iPhoto as I tried to quit the program.
    If I understand what I am looking at in Terminal I am overwhelming my CPU. Is that correct?
    If so, I see the only fix is to open less programs at one time or buy a newer, bigger, faster MacBook. Is that analysis correct?

  • Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) sudden slow down, and heats up while sleeping

    Hi! I need help with my Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) that suddenly slowed down, and heats up while sleeping. It slowed down 3 days ago. I want to know what checks I can do to find what is wrong with my laptop. Thank You

    Hi! I did reset SMC but it did not work but thank you. Now, my hard drive crashed, bought a new one, but unfortunately my laptop does not detect the new hard drive so that where I'm at. Im not sure if I need to format the hard drive, replace an internal part like the connector of the hard drive to the logic board or the new hard drive is broken.

  • My iMac 8.1 was slowing down and had permissions problems. I backed everything up, and then re-installed. Now all I get is a black screen. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: HDD-1336. Help!

    My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

    Hi
    Thanks for the help. No point in fooling around with it any more. Will I be able to use it as a monitor if I get a mimi mac?
    Cheers. Don
    No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac  or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money.

  • Flash html5 - How can i make an internal movie clip slow down and stop when it get to a certain frame?

    I am creating an automotive braking system using flash and have a wheel turning. I want the wheel to slow down and stop after the brake pedal is pushed at a certain frame. I know I could do this with frame by frame animation but was hoping there was a short cut - javascript?? If not the slowing down portion then is there code for just making the internal movie clip (wheel turning) to stop when it gets to a frame.? Thanks

    you can use the ticker class to create a loop that you use to control the wheel's rotation or frame, TweenJS v0.6.0 API Documentation : Ticker

    why has my hp deskjet 2050  printer and scanner suddenly slowed down and printing one line at a time

    This is usually indicative of a defective print cartridge.  Suspect the black is low in ink or defective.  Please check all cartridges.

  • How do I fix a Safari application that slows down and freezes everything?

    Apple called last fall and said my particular Mac had a hard disk problem and they replaced it at the Apple store in late January 2013.  I backed up the information on an external harddrive and used Time Machine before to transfer all the information to the new drive. Everything worked well and I finally put on Mountain Lion at 10.8.4.  I also have Carbonite as a backup and it apparently was not enabled when I transferred the files until early May.  In early May I had not used my iMac for about a month and when I started it I found about 40 named file folders on the Desktop that were empty.  Some of those had named items in them but when I clicked on them they would dissappear.  The actual files did exist and were not effected when I dumped the apparent alias folders. Safari started and would be ok at first but if I went away for an hour it would slow down.  I took it in to the Genius Bar at Apple and they ran some tests and got rid of MacKeeper which they felt was causing the problem.  I got my Mac back home and it still started slow but worked well at first and then started going slow.  If I opened Word it would also start working at a slower speed.  I needed to force quit Safari and the Word progran in order to quit or restart the Mac.  I got an appointment for the next day and they ran all sorts of tests and the hard drive was working normally. They tried tweeking different areas and sent me home again.  When I started working again it did the same thing, I would start out fine and eventually slow down and needed to be force quit to get out of it. A message came up indicating my MasOSX startup disk had no more space available for applications memory.  I took it in a third time and the Genius went to the Activity Monitor and the Safari PID was 221 and %CPU 107, Threads 21 Real Mem 2.73 GB, Virtual Mem 22.00 Kind, Intel (64).  I had no idea what that meant. I went home again and it still ran slow and couldn't run the programs for any length of time before it ran slow and affected the other programs so they would only quit if I used Force quit.  I took it in for the forth time an they decided to keep it overnight. They ran ASD first to rule out memory.  They noticed during the appointment the computer was slow to perform normal tasks such as showing boot options, booting into user, bootingto external user.  If the ASD passed then they would perform erase and install and only restore users and application files from backup drive.  They did this on Wed and Thur. night and I took it home Friday night, June 14 and it still has the same problem. Typing this message right now means typing and waiting for the words to appear.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • My computer slows down and hangs after installing oracle 10g

    My computer just slows down after installing oracle 10g. I have a pentium 4 3ghz with 512 memory (32 mb used by graphics built in card). It slows down and hanged even if I agjusted the swap memory to 800 mb. I have two swap file/page file - in drive c and drive d. I even cannot shut it down because it takes maybe 30 minutes just to see the "shut-off/log-off" screen.

    Before starting up Oracle, when you go to the task manager, how much RAM does it show actually free? 512 MB is pretty small to run Oracle in the first place-- Windows and Office can use a fair chunk of RAM themselves, depending on which Office apps you are running. You may also be suprised by the amount of RAM that a web browser, email client, and the various other apps that folks generally install can use.

    I have a revision a imac g5 with the same problem with only macbreak podcast. I know leo laporte said that the podcast was done in 1080p and my computer with its built in 64 megabyte graphics card might have trouble with this podcast but your machine must have a better graphics card than mine. 1080p requires at least 128 megabytes of graphics memory built in. My machine played this podcast on quicktime fine until they came out with the update to quicktime last week or two ago. I was going to upgrade my memory until I came accross your story and your machines doing the same thing with much better specs. I think it might be the quicktime update that is causing a problem. Maybe Leo will talk about this problem since he is doing a mac show about macs.
