Music goes slow and gives a shaky sound

Since monday i have a problem with several songs playing in Itunes. They go slow and are shaky from sound. This songs are all ACC. I allready updated DirectX and looked for an update for soundcard (no update). No plugins are installed in Itunesplugins. Also installed the new version of Itunes. Nothing seems to work, even the songs backed up on external drive sounds the way described.
What can i do more???

OK, that's a shame, I wondered if it would be OK in Vista as my Vista PC does not show high CPU usage on m4p files.
What CPU % do you get in the task manager when you play m4p files?
If you mind about this you probably need to downgrade to the last known good version of iTunes which I think is two versions back.
You can download old versions from FileHippo, but the mods don't like us to give the URL.
You have to uninstall itunes in order to install an old version and you also need to rebuild your lirbary using the method here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Or if you can find the correct version in your previous Itunes library folder you can use that. This will be a library file with a date corresponding to your upgrade from the version your are installing. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967?viewlocale=en_US
Don't forget to report this as a bug using the feedback option on the iTunes help menu.

BSC WIZARD GOES SLOW AND THEN WRONG PAGE THEME OR CSS (CS_WIZARD)

Hello,
We are trying to use the BSC Web Wizard (/sap/bc/bsp/sap/cs_wizard), but when we all it it always goes to slow (very very slow), and it gives us a web page without any theme or css schema.
When we see the other web pages (SEM_BSC, SEM_MC, SEM_VDT) the web pages asks us a user and password of the BI Intance. But in the case of the Wizard, it doesn't ask us nothing at all.
Can someone help me please????
Thank you in advance...

Droid 2, R2D2 - Going Slow and Freezing whatever I'm doing

So in the last 3-4 days, my phone has been exceedingly slow, through everything. Halfway through typing a sentence my browser/text messaging freezes and stops. I can't even home-button out of it. Hitting home to return brings me to the home page after a few minutes, which is then frozen. I wait for it to unfreeze and it loads my text message inbox...but without the ability to type. This happens for browsing/facebook/texting. Also, whatever other apps I use, are very very sluggish. Most apps will load normally for 15-20 seconds, then slow down, then freeze. Many different apps have come to the "xxxxxx is not responding, send error report?"
I have not downloaded any new apps.
I have not overly used my phone.
I have scanned for viruses.
Today, I deleted task killer, to see if that was it.
To no avail, the phone is still very sluggish, and after 'confusing' it with running a program, it restarts. Repetitively.
Any help would be great!

Mine is doing the same thing. After that mandatory installation, I believe it was the 2.1 update, my phone has gone nuts! It is extremely slow, and everything is freezing. Now I cannot even type out a text message, through Handcent or the stock app, and text are coming through doubled.
I thought maybe I needed to just update Handcent, but that didn't help either. I can pull up the app, click a thread, and begin typing without any problems. As soon as the first word is typed though, it freezes completely, and I can even get back to the home screen for a few minutes. One out of five times or so it will give me the option to force close or wait, but other than that I have to just wait.
I'm tried booting in safe mode, and also deleted task killer, checked for viruses, and haven't downloaded or updated any applications. If anyone finds a solution, please post it here, or email me at {edited for privacy}. After work hours, communication with my boss is though messaging for project details. Go figure my phone would do this when I've got a huge work load, with a short deadline.

IMac going slow ... applications going slow and freezing up.

Are there ways to speed it up? I know there's no defrag to do ...
What slows a computer down? Too many programs running? To much memory being used?
Here are my stats:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
In additions, I have 233.44 GB and 17.61 GB available.
(I have 70 GB in music and 35 GB in iPhoto).
Are these the reasons my comp is slow and is there anything I can do to speed it up?

I noticed in addition to probably being low on memory you have almost filled up your hard disk. It is common for a system to slow down when there is less than 10% HD available. You should begin storing information on an external HD, things like music, videos and photo's are notorious for eating a lot of HD space.
Not a good idea to take your machine into an Apple store for a memory upgrade due to the expense. Memory is extremely easy to replace even for someone not technical. How you determine what type of memory your computer uses is by clicking on the Apple logo in the upper left corner of your screen and then clicking on "About this Mac." Once you know then you can start shopping. A great place to buy memory is at www.owc.com, they have a tool there that will help you choose between what your machine takes and the upgrade options open to you. OWC's memory is very good as is Crucial, Micron, Kingston however don't buy Kingston's budget ram. You can even call OWC for help and someone will be happy to assist. Cost to upgrade ram now is less than $100, if your machine has the ability to upgrade it to 4 GB then most on this board would recommend doing just that.

Panning scrolling is going slow and hand tool ain't working when using lasso tool.

Hello Photoshop users,
A couple weeks ago I bought a new PC with windows 8.1. I installed Photoshop CS 5, and it worked really well.
The only thing that isn't working really well, is the (polygonal) lasso tool. When is use it, the scrolling/panning is very slow and the hand tool is also very slow or isn't working at all. Very annoying.
I already called the Adobe customer service, but they don't support Photoshop CS 5 any more (what is a shame for such a expensive program)
Do more people have this problem? Or does anyone know how I can fix this?
I hope someone can help me.

I just fired up Photoshop CS5 on my Win 8.1 system and the panning is quick and interactive.
Is your new PC a desktop system? If so, what video card do you have in it? Have you checked the web site of the maker of that video card to see if they have an updated display driver?
For what it's worth, I have an ATI Radeon HD 7850 and the newest display driver (Catalyst 14.4), and like I said, Photoshop CS5 (though not the version I use much any more) appears to work just fine here.
Another thing you can try is to go into the Performance preferences, click the [Advanced Settings...] button in the GPU Settings section, and try different Modes. Make sure to fully close and restart Photoshop after making any changes there, so you'll be sure to be testing the new settings.

Adobe premiere elements 12 video is slow and does not match sound

after uploading the clip to edit into premiere elements 12 the video clip is slow, it doesnt match with the sound which is on point, when played back the video is choppy and skips a few clips, how to fix this please? this makes me reconsider actually buying this program, this does not happen with windows movie maker.

lingling1234
Could you please review the following and determine if you have been there and done the following.
At the onset, have you assure that you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premeire Elements 12?
If you go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks, where do you have the categories directed and how much free hard drive space is there?
Assuring project is set so that project preset (project settings) match properties of source media....
Open Premiere Elements 12 to its Expert workspace.
Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, change the project preset to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p@ 29.97
Before you exit that area (in the last dialog that you see - new project dialog), make sure that you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
Back in the Expert workspace,
a. If you attach your camera to the computer with USB, the select Add Media/Videos from Flip or Camera/Video Importer.
In the Video Importer Source: locate your camera. Set the Save In:, put a check mark next to the videos you want imported, select the choice Add to Timeline, then hit Get Media.That should put your video in Project Assets as well as on the Timeline.
b. If you have your files saved to the computer hard drive, then use Add Media/Files and Folders to get you video into Premiere Elements Project Assets from where you drag your video to the Timeline.
Either way, do you see an orange line over the Timeline content (I am not talking about the orange line that runs horizontally through the clip). Hit the Enter key. Does the Timeline content play back in the Edit area monitor or does a Render dialog pop up? What does the playback look like and sound like in either case? Is anything improved at this point from what you were getting before?
If same as same as with the above, there would be series of questions about your computer environment.
We look forward to your results if you get a chance.
Thanks.

Mail going slow and churning

I have six mail accounts. i have mail going back at least five years on the mac so I appreciate I have a lot there. Mail is now very difficult to use when switching from one mailbox to another for example, it is very slow with lots of time spent gazing at the spinning beach ball. I have switched checking mail to every 5 mins instead of every 1 minute and that helped a little. But once it starts to perform all the rule actions and rebuilding of virtual folders the app is unavailable. Any suggestions on how to speed life up?
cheers.

OK. Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

My Macbook Pro Retina 2012 is running very slow and gives me frequent speed problems.

So, I've noticed it happen gradually for about a year now. It started with just minor but not significant delays in opening up programs, but I didn't mind it because the computer was still fast compared to a PC, which is what I used to use before this Macbook. I got this macbook in 2012, and luckily I still have a warranty, but it'll close soon.
Right now, some problems include:
1)
2) Shutting down and turning on the computer is slow (sorry no picture on this one). When I first bought this mac, and until about a year ago, whenever I turn it on/off it would do it instantly. But now, there is a bit of a delay when turning off. The screen seems to just freeze at a certain frame, stays that way for a few seconds (longer when turning it off right after playing a game or two-- don't worry they're compatible with Mac OS), and then shuts off. And when it's frozen at that frame time, you can still see the background materials because they're only faded away. You know what I'm talking about-- Macbook turns out when turning off and then shuts down. So, much of the screen is white, but you can still see the screen prior to the shut down faded.
3) Internet is running extremely slow. When I check my speed at speedtest.net, I get around 47 mbps on bad days and 53-ish on good days (download speed)

Resetting computer to factory conditions doesn't work, time-machine didn't work, and clearing more storage space didn't work either. I would like to get this problem fixed before my warranty runs out. Thanks for reading and any sort of help will be appreciated!

Do you know of any specific tasks or situations that cause it to perform poorly? If so, make a note of those and demonstrate them for Apple. Do NOT, under any circumstances, restart the machine. You want it at its worst when you take it in. If you try to do any of those magic resets, it may just reset things just long enough for Apple to proclaim it healthy. If Apple does that anyway, then there are plenty of opportunities to try those things later after your warranty has expired.
I wish I knew exactly when it does this, but it doesn't always happen. It sometimes does, and sometimes doesn't. I thought about this, too. But the problem is that it's really hard to catch a time or figure out what causes these symptoms to occur. I haven't taken it to Apple because I thought it'll just be a waste of time because they'll probably say that it's healthy so they don't have to put any money/effort to try and fix it...

Music going on and off: Driving me crazy

I'm having a problem with my (2) websites since I started using '09 and that never happened when using iWeb 08'. Most of the pages in my websites have music. What is happening is that, after publishing and seeing my website(s)on the browser, the music disappears from some of the pages. That makes me have to go back activate the music and publish again. This problem started with one of the sites and is now happening in both. When all of this happened first it was on one or two pages and now it's spreading to more of my pages. At first I eliminated the affected page and would build it again but then I realized that it was useless since i had the same problem. By the way I use a different computer for each website with 2 separate MobileMe accounts.Has anyone gone through this? Is there anything that can correct this glitch?

I don't know much about codes but I'll place it here so you can see it. It is one of my poems that was recited by a friend and who wrote the background music. As I stated before, it worked fine until yesterday.

There is something else, one of the websites was made in iWeb 08' but the most recent was created directly in iWeb 09' using a new and different Mac. That one was the one that started acting strangly and about 2 weeks later the other one started to do the same.

Boot Camp Hangs, Disk Utility is very slow and gives an error.

Hello,
I would like to install Windows for some games.
But my problem is that when I try to make the boot camp partition it just freezes/hangs 50% in. I have repaired my Disk and it says it is OK.
Got a tip that I could resize my current partition to a smaller size then, make it bigger. This would help bootcamp, but it did not it just hangs around 50% again... I let it say over night, and when I woke up I got a error saying something like
"partition failed at checking archives".
Now I am lost, and do not know what the next step is, this is very annoying and not as easy as I imagned.
Hope you can guide me.

I assume this was the "slow boat to China" syndrome using TimeMachine over USB.
Sorry 'bout that, #1 before beginnng partitioning and the rest was "backup before beginning with Boot Camp Assistant"
Disk Utilty RESTORE is a clone style backup (or there are other programs but not on OS X DVD so you need to boot from something), and of course a different interface (eSATA wold be nice, so would TB or FW800) which should have cut it down to less than a day to backup.

Firefox does not load a pdf-page shown by a specific link, but goes slow and finally crasches instead. IE10 does work. Link is fro state official side, smhi.se

I have windows7, just installed and no bugs. As said above, when I try Internet Explorer 10, recently installed, I have no problem looking on this pdf - page.
The page is found by logging in to smhi.se, the swedish wheater service. I have no problem with the majority of information shown there, just one specific page.
It can be found by clicking "Väder", then "Is till havs", then down under click "Istjänsten" and then "Senaste iskarta i färg".
This pdf-document is then loaded very slowly and if I try to navigate on the page it crasches.

First, after clicking the Firefox button in the upper corner, there is not popping up the square on your solution above!
I can not select Applications in that menu-line thus.....because I do not have it!
Instead I get a small square with swedish text. Only thing which resembles me of any action is: Settings (Inställningar), so I chose that and another square shows where strangely enough the same line is about Acrobat is repeated twice. No other settings are repeated twice.....
So I go to the line for Acrobat and change both lines to Acrobat reader
Then I save and go out.
I try again to log into the link I am interested in, but no result, same problem as before.
Has your swedish people done something strange???
Best regards // Hans Hällström
