Microsoft Excel(for Mac) is running extremely slow

I am using Microsoft Excel(for Mac) and it is running extremely slow.  I have a 3 different functions running and about 10,000 lines of data, but to delete 1 line of data or add a column takes about half an hour.  I tried rebooting my computer and that didn't really help too much.  Is there anything else I can do?  I have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro

  • My mac is running extremely slow. More often than not when I try to click something or type something it gives me the "thinking" pointer icon.  I ran the etre check program and got this:

  • A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

    A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

    I second LibreOffice as it's the most recent fork, however NeoOffice and OpenOffice will also work.
    Just say No money to Redmond!
    Also the old Ready Set Go! will be having a Lion version out soon.
    It's a low cost page layout program (like Indesign but without the high price) and can make booklets etc better, import the excel grpahics from LibreOffice.

  • Mac mini running EXTREMELY slow

    I bought the Mac Mini server just 4 months ago and it is running incredibly slow.  I do not use it as a server, just bought this version for the extra disk space.
    The CPU load is very low, and less than 2 GB of 8GB total memory is used by the system.  But the Spotlight seacrh simply does not work (it shows the greay wheel going round and round).
    Your help is appreciated.

    Thanks.  Below is the info you requested.  I repalced my user-name in the log with "USERNAME".  I also deleted many exactly the same error messages for easy readability.
    I moved all the media and picture files out of the home directory.  I see that Spotlight is now indexing.  But in console I now see hundreds of messages like below:

  • Mac Pro running extremely slow

    I can't seem to diagnose this problem. Let's start with the hardware.
    Mac Pro, 4GB, Dual 500GB - Raid 0, 250GB, 300GB and external 500GB.
    My internal Raid setup (1TB) was nearly full a few weeks ago and I cleared off half the drive onto the external 500GB. Thinking my problem was a full boot drive... That however didn't fix the problem and I actually believe it seems worse now then it was before doing this.
    I ordered an additional 4GB Ram yesterday and it should be here sometime mid-week. This is something I needed anyway and wasn't ordered as a fix for this issue, but if I can't solve it, I figure it should go a long way to cutting down the issue.
    I DO NOT want to re-install everything from scratch as it would mean having to setup all my apps again and I really don't want to do that...
    Symptoms:
    Upon boot after everything is loaded, the machine will grind for a minute or two eventually coming to a halt. Further, launching anything (Safari, WoW (heh), Outlook, etc) will cause massive harddrive noise (no loud noises, just excessive grinding) and eventually come up after what feels like forever.
    WoW launches on my first-gen macbook about 3x as fast as my mac pro. (To give some comparison).
    Apps running at launch:
    Parallels (even turned off, speed is roughly the same)
    Outlook
    Text Expander
    Todos
    iStat
    Hardware monitors:
    CPU is next to nothing, almost always flatlined, even when doing excessive loading, obviously CPU is not the issue here.
    Memory reports:
    Free: 2.55GB
    Wired: 606.07MB
    Active: 798.62MB
    Inactive: 31.77MB
    Used: 1.40GB
    VM Size: 75.87GB
    Page Ins: 290.32MB
    Page Outs: 0 Bytes
    Swap Used: 0 Bytes
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I just want the machine to run like it did, as it sits, it's almost impossible to be productive here...

    Wow, I'm proud of your accomplishments. You seem so eager to list them... I'm a software developer who used to do IT and owned a computer store prior to moving exclusively to software development. I know a thing or two as well. But I prefer solutions than waving monikers around.
    Consider the following. I deal with hundreds of thousands of small files while developing software. The primary HD was nearly full before removing the vast majority of said files and moving a large chunk of data to an external drive. It is unlikely that OSX's VM file has been recreated since. This being the case, it is EXTREMELY likely that the VM file is HIGHLY fragmented as evidenced by both the excessive load times (quite audible drive noise denoting loading) and low CPU load. This being the case, my initial reaction was to refresh the VM file, eliminating (or greatly reducing) fragmentation.
    I came here because I was hoping someone could help with that, or offer another possible solution. Instead I've been insulted and told to buy new hardware. This is not a solution, it's a band-aid. All my data IS backed up and I have ZERO hardware/software problems. Excessive load time does not require new hardware when hardware was previously not an issue.

  • My mac is running extremely slow lately how can i clean it

    my mac is too slow lately how can i clean it

    Yes. But what ever you do, don't buy any of the so called "cleanup" software. It is all worthless crapware.
    Try http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html
    or http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/performance.html

  • My mac desktop 09 is running extremely slow

    my Mac is running extremely slow could it be iphoto causing it?  its at 70GB

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the system log for messages that may indicate a hardware fault. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|nspace-h|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    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.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

    my final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months.  I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer.  it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help me.  I have a 13 inch mac book pro 10.6.8 8gb 2.3 gfz intel core i5

    What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
    See if working on the main disk is any faster.
    USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go.  And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too.  FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
    Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Excel - microsoft office for Mac 2008

    Can someone tell me how to delete empty text boxes from an excel spreadsheet (microsoft office for mac 2008).  I must be overlooking something.  Thank you for your reply.

    Hmmmm...I'm guessing somebody else has run into this...is there a better place for me to post my question in the forum?  Or does everybody in the forum see the question regardless of the catagory it is posted under?  I wasn't sure which catagory it should go under.

  • Will Microsoft Office For Mac V.X run on Lion?

    Need to determine if I have to buy the latest version of Microsoft Office For Mac.  Would prefer to use my V.X.  I am upgrading to Lion for iCloud.

    However, Office 2008, which does run in Lion, MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE you upgrade to Lion, because its installation program has Rosetta-required PPC code.
    Another issue is that many people with legacy MS Office data files are experiencing severe problems with translation of the legacy files by MS Office 2008 or 2011. 
    For example, I must access a file once a week that I created in MS Excel 2004 and its graphs are scrambled by Excel 2011.  I continue to access it with Excel 2004 in Snow Leopards installed in Parallels 7 in Lion:
    If you decide to continue to use your Office v.X, full installation instructions for Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) in Parallels 7 in Lion are here:
