My computer is slower then normal
In 2011 i bought the best macbook pro i could, and i have been very happy with its performance. I upgraded to 8GB ram and when i first got it no matter how many applications i had running it rarely dipped below 4GB ram available.
My computer is noticeably slower now then it was when i bought it, and if i look at the activity monitor even with absolutly no apps running it only shows 3.5GB ram available.
Do i need to defrag my mac? or what els could i do to speed it up and free up some ram?
is it possibly from a virus or something? I used to be a pc guy so i dont know much about macs
any advice will help! thanks a lot:)
This is definitely not caused by any kind of malware!
Note that you should not be obsessing over how much free RAM you have. Free RAM is wasted RAM. Start worrying if you begin to have RAM-related issues, in which case the Page Outs value in Activity Monitor's memory pane will start climbing. If that value gets to within 10% of Page Ins, or more, that's an indication that you're running short on RAM for the tasks you're doing.
You definitely don't need to defrag, or do any of the other kind of "cleaning" that is typical on a Windows PC. See The myth of the dirty Mac.
But all that is telling you what the problem isn't... regarding what the problem is, take a look at my Mac Performance Guide. If it doesn't help you, post back here, with details that resulted from the things you did while working through that guide.

My iPad (1st generation) seems to be slowing down. Taking longer to open and more concerning is that fact that I'm frequently being dumped out of apps
Any ideas?Welcome!
It's not very likely that a virus/malware is slowing you. Although "officially" above the minimum, 320MB RAM is light for Tiger. Of our various G4 Macs running Tiger, the least RAM installed is 768MB. The others range from 1G to 1.75G RAM. A low RAM count plus a hard drive that's filling up can really drag down the performance.
My best recommendation is to review the maintenance articles on this web site:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
There are number of routine cleanup items you can do without a tech looking over your shoulder that will maximize your performance. -
I have an Imac 2.8 GHZ Intel core duo, a month ago during booting instead of the apple picture appears a world picture and takes a lot of time to start, Is this normal?? also I feel the computer much slower since then, does any body know what is this? How can I fix this? Thanks
Gomtomsyetm preferencs and make sure that you HDD is selected as the start up disk. Then start up using your install disc and run disk utility and repair the drive just in case something has gotten corrupt.

Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility 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 Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X 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.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:

Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes. The color wheel comes on and My work stops. I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem. I'll get 20-30 minutes of work done and then a sync or something comes on, the color wheel of death shows up, and my productivity is shot. I have to shut the computer down the hard way! when it comes back up, it is still either frozen or slow. I've checked in at the genius bar and all they say is that there have been some problems that Apple is trying to fix. It effects Mail, Contacts, Safari, Calendar....yeah, pretty much everything. My iPhone and iPad are not effected as much so I end up doing what I can with them. I've seen the blogs out there and understand that many have the same problem. I have been waiting to read about a fix but I have found nothing! Any ideas?
Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
For startup issues... open System Preferences > Users & Groups - Login Items. Delete any apps listed there then restart your mac.
And disable the Lion "resume" feature.
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
And Spotlight may be indexing... you can turn that off > Turning Off Spotlight | Mac Tricks And Tips -
I purchased Dreamweaver CS6, installed ok then registered it on-line. Computer
running slow, malware sorted it out, since I re installed CS6, it asks for
registration, puts up 30 day trial,Flags up errors java.Hi Jon,
Dreamweaver the following errors show up in the JavaScript.Log. I deleted the .dat file but no difference. I am not so confident in how to delete the preference file. I have been following the instructions (see link)
https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs6-cc.html
Windows:
~Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 (folder)
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 (registry entry)
When Dreamweaver launches, it creates new preferences files and folder.
How do I get rid of these errors?

Try renaming the configuration folder that holds the .dat file first, before attempting to restore preferences.
Many times that will take care of it without having to do all the work required after a pref-reset.

My computer is slow and gets hot
Computer is slow and gets hot. What could be the problem?
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Boot into Safe Mode and do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer. Restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -
A recent download of an iTunes update, for some unknown reason, failed on my computer. Since then I get a system error message everytime I log on telling me that the program cannot be opened because 'MSVCR80.d11' is missing from my computer. When I try to open iTunes I get an 'error 7 (Windows error 126)' message and am advised to reinstall iTunes. However, when I attempt to do this, it downloads the programme and gets as far as installation, at which point I get yet another message: this time 'Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start'.
I am at a loss to know what to try next and would appreciate any assistance. I'm also concerned that, in the process of reinstalling iTunes, I am going to lose all the music I have collected over the years.Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

This isn't really a question, but that doesn't matter, right?
First of all, you know how to upgrade, right? Install the new version of iTunes, plug in your iDevice, click on it on the sidebar, and click Update.
PRECAUTION: You should sync first, but it's not required at all, especially if you CAN'T sync because you're updating on a secondary computer. iTunes will create a backup for you during the update process.
If you are updating on a computer that you normally sync with...
Just click Download and Update!
If you AREN'T updating on a computer that you normally sync with...
You'll get a message that says it will erase everything on your iDevice.
Who cares? Just update!
Estimated download times:
Download Time: 30 Minutes
Backup Time: (Around 30 GB of data) 1.5 Hours (DON'T SKIP THIS STEP!)
Update Time: 10 Minutes
After the long wait, and something on your iDevice shows up about setting up a new device, jump right in and answer the 5-10 questions or so!
Then, you'll see your new iOS 5 iDevice for the first time.
WAIT, ALL OF THE APPS, MUSIC, and MORE are gone!
NO NEED TO PANIC!
This is normal, and WILL happen in 90-95 percent of users! There is a way to stop this from happening, but don't go that route... It takes DAYS to do... There are two ways to restore all of your apps, WITH THEIR PROGRESS TOO! (Angry Birds time!) Apple will NOT charge you for redownloading!
1. Just go into the App Store on your device, go into updates, and click the new purchased bar. From there, click the little cloud next to all the apps you need to download. They will redownload with their progress!
2. Or, you can go into iTunes, (Purchased tab), and from there redownload all of your apps.
This WILL happen whether or not you do this update on a computer you normally sync with or not. I did this update on a computer I don't normally sync with and it worked perfectly!
I waited four days researching what will happen if I update on a computer that I don't normally sync with, but with no avail, so I decided to bite the bullet, and this worked perfectly! Time to work on Angry Birds! iOS 5 is worth the 3 hour wait!
Any questions, feel free to ask!This is not working for me. I synced to my computer first, then I did the upgrade on my iphone 4. Once the upgrade completed, my phone got an apple symbol with a line under it, and it is just frozen. I tried to sync back to my computer 3 times, and each time, it stops on step 3/4 for the sync. Under the apps, it says something like 'searching for apps to load.' It freezes there for hours. I waited 7 hours the first time, woke up, did it again and 11 hours later, come home from work, stuck on the same screen again. I restarted itunes, and it will not even let me press the sync button. It is like the sync button is already clicked, and it says - 'loading device.' It has been stuck on that for hours.
I am so disappointed with this 'update.' My phone worked fine yesterday. Can somebody tell me what to do to get my phone to work again? I do not even care if I keep the update or not. I just want a working phone. Just to be clear, I lost EVERYTHING. I lost the ability to even turn my phone on, and apparently, my computer lost the ability to 'read' my phone. I can see all of the info on my computer, but my phone will not power on, and the computer will not sync my phone to the info that is stored. -

After 10.5.2 update, computer very slow
Downloaded/installed update without incident. Microsoft Office programs are now very slow to open and very slow to perform certain tasks, like trashing an email. Emptying trash in the Finder sometimes works/sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't, I get a dialog box saying "You can't open Trash because Trash is being emptyed" or words to that effect. Force quitting hung aps usually does not work. It is sometimes possible to shut down or restart using the commands in the Apple menu but I've had to just power cycle the computer twice today when the commands didn't work. I tried verifying permissions but even that seemed to hang. Verifying the disk worked and it says the disk is ok. Any ideas on how to solve this? It almost feels like I've run out of memory but Activity Monitor says otherwise. Stumped.
I had some of the exact same issues. After I installed the 10.5.2 update and noticed these issues, I ran Software Update again and found a "Leopard Graphics Update 1.0".

Once I installed this graphics update, my computer was back to normal. -
Since I purchased Mountain Lion my computer has slowed considerably - how do i speed it up again?
I purchased Mountain Lion around a month and a half ago. Since then, my computer has slowed considerably--like i could go get a cup of coffee while the page loads like old-school. Does anyone out there have any suggestions how to fix this?
How much RAM? How much available disk space?
Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours. -
How come, ever since I installed Mountain Lion, my computer is slower???
How come, ever since I installed Mountain Lion, my computer is slower???
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
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 page that opens.
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. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. 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.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.
