My iMac with Comcast is suddenly extremely slow

Suddenly my imac with comcast internet with apple airport is extremly slow.
This sort of came out of the blue.
I have called Comcast and they said everything on their end seems to check out fine.
Going a bit nuts here. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Anything I should test?

Nothing seems to have changed at all Allen.

    While deleting sms in a row one one ios 7 hang up and restart. This is happening in my iphone 4. Ps help. Not happy with update, it is extremely slow. Would request apple to provide an option of restoring it back to ios 6

    I'm having same problem with my iPhone 4.  Even after restoring twice.   Simple tasks casue the phone to lock up and restart, which, thanks to iOS 7 takes much longer than with iOS 6. 
    I love my phone, but it is almost unsuable after update.

  • Help please: extreme card in 17" iMac with graphite base station SUPER slow

    I am at my wits end and hope someone can help me. I have a graphite base station that has worked perfectly with a TiBook for years...I just got a 17" iMac with an Airport Extreme card and it is having big problems. The symptom is difficulty connecting to the base station, and when it does manage to connect, it is really slow...we're talking about 300 KB per MINUTE. The signal strength shows 4 bars, and I confirmed with AP Grapher that the signal is always running 70% or more. The older TiBook meanwhile works great, as it always has. A peer-to-peer wireless network between the two computers (bypassing the base station) also works great. Wired connection to internet also great. So I suspect the problem is the communication between the graphite base and the Extreme card...though this is supposed to work fine. It seems the hardware itself must be OK because the base serves the old TiBook so well, and the peer-to-peer network works great too. I am well and truly stumped and hope someone out there can help.
    G5 Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I am having what I think is a similar problem, although my problem is more related to a complete loss of signal. I am starting to think, from what I am reading in other posts here, that it is something related to 10.4.3, as the problem I am experiencing began after installing the 10.4.3 update. Do you know if the iMac has 10.4.3? Also, are you using something prior to 10.4.3 on the other, unaffected machines? You can read the post about my problems at the following 2 links:

    Please let me know the problem you have is similar to the one I have, and if you have 10.4.3 on the affected machine. In advance, thank you.

  • USB connection suddenly extremely slow

    As I ususally have manny film, series on my external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreeme, I suddenly got a big supprise when the speed suddenly got extremely slow. Not possible to use it for anything. The internet connection is however perfect.
    As it has allways functioned perfectly for me I don´t know what to do. It was about that time I uppdated the Java pack resently submitted by Apple. But I can´t see why this should have aything to do with this.
    Has anyone had any simmilar problems, and what is the remedy. I am all blank....

    Keep in mind that the very first device you connect will determine the default speed for the entire USB bus.  So, if you boot up the MBP, log in, and plug in a USB2 device, then the bus will never operate faster than USB2.  You would then need to reboot the computer, and first connect the USB3 device to ensure the bus steps up to USB3 speeds for USB3 devices.
    Also, make sure you are using a USB3 compatible cable with any USB3 devices to get max. transfer speeds.

  • Sudden EXTREME slowness, crashing

    I was using my Macbook Pro today for just regular stuff, playing some music, when suddenly it slowed down to a really ridiculous speed. I double-clicked on a song in iTunes, it went to the pinwheel and took 15 seconds before the song played. I figured I would restart, so I did and now the computer is literally slower than I could have imagined.
    At first reboot it sat at the Apple logo loading screen for a long time, to the point where I turned it off and let it sit for a moment, then turned it back on. For the next five or so off / on cycles it displayed a blank light-blue screen and nothing else, not responding to any kind of input. Holding down the button to get to the boot menu to choose between Windows and Mac didn't work.
    Finally I left it for quite a long time and it managed to boot up to the login screen after about 30 minutes of loading. I managed to type in my password (which took awhile, it went to pinwheel for about 10 seconds before recognizing keyboard inputs). Another 10 - 15 minutes before it displayed the desktop and dock, then another 5 minutes before it displayed the top menu.
    It continued to run extremely slow, and over the course of the next hour I managed to open up Disk Utility and Activity Monitor. Activity Monitor shows random tasks as "Not Responding", as does Force Quit. Different tasks at different times show up red, including SystemUI, iTunes, and Disk Utility itself.
    I attempted to verify the disk, it worked for a moment, displayed a few errors and then stopped with the message "Underlying task failed", or something to that effect. I tried to Verify Disk permissions and it threw a long list back at me before freezing. Over the next 20 minutes I managed to force quit Disk Utility, and now my computer is apparently entirely frozen.
    The Windows drive also didn't appear on the desktop, and under Disk Utility my windows partition showed up greyed out and d03 or something like that.
    I'm going to try to restart with the install disk and run Disk Repair off of it and see if it will work, but I was hoping someone out there had an idea of what's gone wrong with my MBP before I just wipe the whole thing clean and start over...if I can.
    It's a Macbook Pro, one of the first-iteration Macbook Pros that came out a few years ago.
    Thanks a bunch.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I tried restarting with the install disk, but it failed to repair with the same error. I'm going to have to send it in now anyway because the install disk is now stuck in there. Hopefully (with my luck) it won't spontaneously explode before I can get it to an Apple Store to have them send it back, I guess.
    Thanks.

  • Deleting VM with snapshot/checkpoint is extremely slow in SCVMM 2012 R2

    It appears deleting VM with checkpoint from SCVMM 2012 R2 is extremely slow. 
    There is the configuration: 
    one SCVMM 2012 R2 running on Windows Server 2012 R2
    one Windows Server 2012 R2 as file share server (SMB), stores all VM files. The share is managed by SCVMM . uses local SSD disk. two gigabit ethernet ports connected to a switch.
    two hyper-v hosts running Windows Server 2012 R2, non-clustered, managed by SCVMM, each hosts has three gigabit Ethernet ports connected to the switch.
    Everthing works including live migration. Here is the problem:
    When I deleted a VM with checkpoint, it appeared that SCVMM/Hyper-V merges something, it took a lot of time on reading each AVHDX and write to VHDX, this results two problems:
    1. It took a lot of time and bandwidth. I am about to delete the VM (and all its files). Why SCVMM/Hyper-V wants to merge all files? The deletion took 29 minutes for a 36GB VM.  This VM is just plain standalone VM, no usage of template.
    The expected result is to just delete all VM files and remove VM, don't do merge. (BTW: VMWare doesn't do merge, the deletion is done in a few seconds))
    2. although all data file are on the file share, the hyper-v host still reads each file from file share, then write to another file on the same file share. It consumes significant network bandwidth. Can they offload the work to file server? 
    The expected result is that Hyper-V offload the transfer to file share server. It should not create huge amount of network io. 
    3. The merging operation is incredibility slow. around 24MByte/sec data being copied. 
    The hyper-v has 2xgigabit links, benchmark shows the file share access can easily go 200Mbytes/sec, and the file server side is SSD drive with 200+MByte/sec bandwidth. The expected result is if hyper-v ever merge, the speed is least 100MByte/s and hopefully
    go up to 200MByte/sec.  21MB/s is just painfully slow.
    Did I miss anything? 

    Thanks for the info. Even there may be use cases where merge is necessary, there are plenty of use cases where merging is overkill -- can Hyper-V have a CLI option that deletes VM without doing merging?    
    If such option won't be available soon, can SCVMM do this on deleting a VM:
    1. revert to the latest checkpoint, delete the checkpoint
    2. repeat the step 1 until all checkpoint removed.
    3. delete the VM.
    This workaround avoids the Hyper-V's merging. It is not as clean as VMWare's (they just delete the VM files, no extra merge), but at least it is much faster and less resource consumption than merging. 

  • Adobe premiere cs6 suddenly EXTREMELY slow and CPU intensive

    Hi everyone,
    I'm editing candon 5d mk III footage (h.264 files) on my late 2011 MacBook pro. Here are the specs..
    240 gig SanDisk SSD harddrive (190 gigs free)
    500 Gig (250 gigs free)
    8 gigs ram
    2.4 ghz i5 processor
    Intel HD graphics 3000 graphics card
    I'm a wedding videographer and I am currently closing my last edits of the season. I have edited 20+ 45 minute videos on Adobe Premiere CS6 and have had absolutely no issues at all. I enjoy working on premiere so much that I've been trying to get my videographer friends to give a shot and simplify their workflows.
    Upon starting my second to last edit (same process as the other 18 videos I've done this season, organizing the footage within it's respective folder, loading it into premiere with the couples' choice in music and opening 4-5 new sequences based on the events of the day) I noticed that I was having a lot of trouble importing folders into my media bin. I had to import all of the footage unorganized because loading the folders "Preperation, Ceremony, Photos, Reception" with the footage within them would cause premiere to freeze and become unrepsonsive. So, finding no solution I added all the footage in no particular fashion. Just one large unorganized group. Then, while organizing the files into bins, I noticed even the smallest move would take several minutes to complete. Because I was working directly off of my hard drive I figured these kinds of delays would eventually catch up to me, so I moved all of my files to my HDD and decided to work on them there. The project itself continued to be extremely slow and started crashing regularly (especially when applying audio effects). After a few hours, I stopped being able to play 1080p video at all. It would jam and stutter so often it become unuseable. 720p video was the next to go along with my ability to render anything in less than 30 minutes - 1 hour. At last attempt to use premiere I was getting an "Unable to compile movie - Unknown Error" message when trying to render alpha channel things (lower third titles and things of the nature), my ability to change the resolution of the playback had disappeared (Going from full, 1/2 and 1/4 did nothing, it just remained at full quality) and finally doing anything in premiere caused it to use 300% of my CPU (based off of my Activity Monitors metering).
    Does anybody have any clue as to what could be happening to my machine/program? I have a yearly subscription to adobe's creative cloud service if that helps. Oh and I've tried moving my media cache's from my HDD to my SDD with little or no results. Don't know if that helps.
    Thank you to anyone who helps in advance. What I believe to be clean installs aren't doing anything so I'm hoping somebody can give me a hand.

    Sounds to me like specific media is dragging the Mac to a halt. (300%, really Apple? Isn't that like saying that my car can go up to 90mph, but last night I drove it at 300% speed, 270mph)
    Some things to trouble shoot:
    Do you have any assets in the project that are loaded directly from strange devices, like a SD card or CD audio? Any dynamic link media that may be problematic?
    Is there anything that makes this footage different than footage from successful projects?
    Can you work successfully with an old project?
    Can you successfully start a new project using different or less media?
    Is the 500 GB drive internal or external?
    One time I was sent out at from work to troubleshoot a system that would freeze up like yours. The guy was an idiot and rude client that demanded that someone from our facility help him fix his own project. He said that he had been troubleshooting for a day, and then had convinced his organization's IT guy that he needed a way over spec new pc to run Premiere.
    His system was fine. Within 3 minutes of checking media in his project, I saw that top track of the problem sequence had a video clip that was set to a speed of .01%, and he had the clip stretched for 24hours in the sequence. His project was supposed to be a 2 minute PSA. All his issues went away after removing the idiotic Day Long slow motion clip. He complained to my boss because I had laughed at him.
    I relate that story to illustrate that it could be a weird thing with you media or fx, just as well as a hardware or software issue.
    Good Luck

  • Lightroom 4 suddenly extremely slow after download free trial of Lr5

    Hi I have Lightroom 4 and last night I downloaded Lightroom 5 with a free trial for 30 days, but I couldn't work on that because was very slow, so I uninsalled Lr5,  but now I can't work in my Lr4, it is extremely slow and it was perfect before. I have a MacBook Pro OS x Lion 10.75, 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7, storage of 591GB free out of 749 and I have all my photos in an external drive "my passport" with 737 GB free out of 999 GB. Could you please help me??? I am very upset and desperate, I have been trying to work for 6 hours already, something that will take me only 30 minutes, and I can't even finish it. Please help me!!

  • DNS Server Issues with Comcast and Airport Extreme wifi routers

    I am having significant challenges with 3 Airport Extreme (latest gen) wifi routers and my Comcast Xfinitity service.  It once worked just fine, but now I continually get the blinking amber lights stating "No DNS servers" for each of the Airport Extreme (AE) routers.  My configuration is:
    Coax cable -> Comcast Xfinity cable modem -> ethernet to 16-port gigabit ethernet switch ->->-> ethernet to 3 Airport Extremes around the house direct connected with switch
    I have many wifi devices throughout the house (iPads, MacBooks, home automation devices) as well as direct-connected devices via ethernet (one PC connected to AE router).
    Each Airport Extreme router is set with these settings in the Airport Utility app: 
    Internet tab=  Connect using: DHCP
    Wireless tab=  Network mode: Create a wireless network
    Network tab=   Router mode: Off (Bridge Mode)
    I have attempted to put the Xfinity cable modem in bridge mode, and use the Airport Extreme to serve up the IP addresses, but still lost internet connectivity.
    I have also attempted to set the Network tab=> Router Mode to "DHCP and NAT" but get "Double NAT" error issues as well.
    I have tried using the Comcast DNS server addresses (75.75.75.75;75.75.76.76) setting on the Internet tab for the routers and do end up getting a green light, but NO internet connectivity.
    Lastly, I have tried using the Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4) setting on the Internet tab the routers giving me the No DNS servers amber light error and again, no Internet connectivity for either wifi-connected or even ethernet connected (directly to Airport Extreme router) devices (like my PC) despite getting a green light on the router.
    Any this point, it really seems that these AE routers are NOT compatible with the Xfinity cable modem or service… (and yes, I've tried power-cycling and restarting the modem, and then the AE routers, MANY times to little avail).
    Should I move one of these Airport Extreme wifi routers to before the switch, and have the other 2 in Bridge mode after the switch?  Do I need to setup a specific range of DHCP reservation addresses for each different AE router?
    Appreciate any insight anyone can share with this aggravating DNS server issue between Comcast & multiple Airport Extreme wifi routers.

    I do not see anything wrong with your basic setup.. the issue is indeed the WAN ports of the AE.. AC version are having problems with some network equipment.
    You have listed a stack of things you have tried.. but I want you to move the ethernet patch cable you use on each AE to its LAN port instead of WAN.
    Restart the airport when you do that.. and then see if it becomes stable.
    In bridge mode the airport moves the WAN port to LAN.. but the WAN port setup itself seems more problematic than the LAN ports.
    There are other methods we can try if this does not work.. but in the end.. I would be tempted to take the whole lot back to apple.. they need to start making equipment that works with standard modems and switches.
    BTW what brand is the 16 port switch?? Does it happen to be managed (smart type)?

  • Computer suddenly extremely slow. Now grey screen.

    Macbook Pro, OS X 10.6.8, purchased late 2009
    Almost overnight, the computer became extremely slow when running apps. I tried multiple solutions -- verifying, repairing, etc. Yet as of now, its refusing to boot. Is there a way of restoring the system through time machine on an external HD on Mountain Lion? Does anyone strongly suspect (as I do) that this is the last gasp for the hard drive and a new one is in order? Or is the situation perhaps even more critical given the age of the machine?

    It booted just now after many attempts, but is still extremely slow and unresponsive.
    Once again, please: any help with the matter would be immensely appreciated. Would putting in a new hard drive solve the issue? I read somewhere that moving your computer when it's running can cause the drive to get corrupted. And in fact, that is more-or-less when my problems began.
    Or should i try restoring the computer first through the OS X DVD?

  • BIG PROBLEM with Lenovo A320 wifi - extremly slow

    Hello Lenovo community,
    I have a big problem with my lenovo A320 all in one.
    The wifi connection is extremly slow. I have 3 differen devices at the same place one macbook, one phone and my lenovo a 320 connectet to the same wifi. The macbook and phone get about 50mpbs but my lenovo gets only about 0.3 to 2 mbps. I have tested it wit different networks and differnet routers but is always very very slow.
    When connected via LAN works fast and well but via wifi its useless.
    I have the intel core I3 and Broadcom 802.11n with the newest drviers.
    I have tried everything possible but nowthing helped.
    Can you please help me with any solution ?
    Thank you in forward

    Just a shame, its a great phone
    thanks for all the feedback

  • IMac, sudden extremely slow webpage loading problem

    Hi guys,
       I had this problem all of a sudden, not sure whether it was caused by malware, my own python scripts or the 10.8.2 update. However all the other devices in my wifi network work just fine. And also my iMac is not disconnected from the internet, ping "www.google.com" is fine, and other IM apps are working properly too.
       I tried different browswers (chrome, firefox, safari) since then, and all the other suggested solutions (resetting DNS, using static ip address, clear cache and etc.) None of them actually solved the problem.
      My friend told me to reinstall a clean OS X, which could be a huge pain for me.
      However, I accidently found out some softlinks and permissions are messed up in my superuser directories. So I did a "repair disk permission" , now the browsers are back on the horse. That actually makes sense to me.
      Long story short, verify/repair disk permissions (in Utilities/disk utility) might solve your browser page loading problem! I just wanna to share with you guys if you are struggling on the same issue as I was.
    Regards,
    candyquicksort

    Thanks for the report & sharing!

  • Safari on my new iMac 27" running 10.6.3 suddenly EXTREMELY slow.

    Hi is anyone having a similar problem, suddenly my Safari browser has completely ground to a half. I tried installing Chrome on my Mac to see if it is a Safari problem and Chrome is just as slow.
    I am running a Windows 7 and a Linux machine on my home network as well and they run perfectly via the same Wireless router and ISP.

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Several things to try...
    One, login to another user account, launch Safari. If it lags there then it's a system wide issue, not just isolated to your Home Folder.
    Next, from the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Reset. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Relaunch Safari. See if that speeds things up.
    If that doesn't make a difference, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    If the issue it's third party plugins, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
    If you have anti-virus software installed (for Mac), that could be a factor.
    If you didn't repair disk permissions after the update, do that as soon as you can.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • MBP suddenly extremely slow, checks return fine - anything else?

    Hi there,
    The issue:  MBP had been working fine but all of a sudden it is frustratingly slow to the point it is near unusable.  This literally happened overnight - it was fine, then I woke up to use the laptop and these issues occured. 95% of requests (clicking on something) are followed by a few sections of nothing, then the spinning pinwheel for anywhere from 5-30 seconds, this also happens when scrolling or opening web pages or writing things in word or on the web.  I have just timed my boot up at 3.23mins and I have nothing that opens on boot up. 
    Spec:  I am using an MBP mid 2012 model, 2.5Ghz Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 memory running OS X Lion 10.7.5.  The 500GB hard drive has 323.13GB free space and 2.69GB free memory.
    So far: I have removed any external additions, unplugged anything that was plugged in, disabled my firewall and turned off WI-FI - this didn't help.  I have checked the CPU usage and the computer is having issues even when running at 95% idle.  I just did the AHT which reported no issues and checked the HD in disk utility - it gave me both the brand, model, size of the HD which as far as I know means theres no hard drive issue (correct me if I am wrong).  I also just finished backing up all my files on time machine which took about 2 days.
    I know there have been similar threads which is where I got most of my troubleshooting noted above from.  I am aware that it would also seem logical to take the laptop to get checked out at the apple store, however I am an international student at college in quite a remote area - the nearest apple store is at least 90 minutes away and I am unable to drive cars in the US.  We do have a computer store on campus who have technicians however they charge regardless of if they can help - I am wondering if there is anything else I can do myself to fix the issues, or at least determine what might be causing them, before taking the laptop in to be seen as a last resort.
    Any help at all would be greatly appreicated.
    Thanks.
    P.s, apologies for the length of this, I have tried to be as in-depth as possible to avoid any time wasted asking simple questions etc.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic  test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. It does nothing but produce human-readable data about the state of your computer. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only run the test in safe mode, proceed anyway.
    If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it.
    Launch the built-in 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 ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    clear; shopt -s extglob; Fb='%s\n\t(%s)\n'; Fm='\n%s:\n\n%s\n'; Fs='\n%s: %s\n'; PB="/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print"; Pm () { [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(sed 's/^/   /' <<< "$o") && printf "$Fm" "$1" "$o"; }; Pc () { o=$(egrep -v '^[[:blank:]]*($|#)' "$2"); Pm "$1"; }; Pp () { o=$($PB "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); Pm "$1"; }; Ps () { o="${o##+( )}"; [[ "$o" -ne 0 ]] && printf "$Fs" "$1" "$o"; }; a=$(id | grep -w '80(admin)'); r=1; [[ "$a" ]] && { sudo true; r=$?; }; { [[ "$a" ]] || echo $'No admin access\n'; [[ "$a" && "$r" -ne 0 ]] && echo $'No root access\n'; system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | sed '8!d;s/^ *//'; o=$(system_profiler SPDiagnosticsDataType | sed '5,6!d'); fgrep -q P <<< "$o" && o=; Pm "POST"; o=$(nvram boot-args | awk '{$1=""; print}'); Ps "boot-args"; o=$(df -m / | awk 'NR==2 {print $4}'); [[ $o -lt 5120 ]] && Ps "Free space (MiB)"; o=$(($(vm_stat | awk '/Pageo/{sub("\\.",""); print $2}')/256)); o=$((o>=1024?o:0)); Ps "Pageouts (MiB)"; s=( $(sar -u 1 10 | sed '$!d') ); [[ ${s[4]} -lt 90 ]] && o=$(printf 'User %s%%\t\tSystem %s%%' ${s[1]} ${s[3]}) || o=; Pm "Total CPU usage" && o=$(ps acrx -o comm,ruid,%cpu | sed '2!d'); Pm "Max %CPU by process (name, UID, %)"; o=$(kextstat -kl | grep -v com\\.apple | cut -c53- | cut -d\< -f1); Pm "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); Pm "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); Pm "Inserted libraries"; for f in crontab fstab launchd.conf sysctl.conf; do Pc $f /etc/$f; done; Pc "hosts" <(sed '1,10d' /etc/hosts); Pc "User crontab" <(crontab -l); Pc "User launchd" ~/.launchd; o=$(find {,/u*/lo*}/e*/periodic -type f -mtime -10d); Pm "Modified periodic scripts"; Pp "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginw* Path; Pp "User login items" L*/P*/*loginit* Name; Pp "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) | wc -l); Ps "Restricted user files"; cd; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {/,}L*/{A*d,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do ID=$($PB\ :CFBundleIdentifier "$d/Info.plist") || ID="No bundle ID"; egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|\.hpio|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" <<< $ID && printf "$Fb" "${d%/Contents}" "$ID"; done); Pm "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); Pm "Unsigned shared libraries"; o=$(system_profiler SPFontsDataType | egrep "Valid: N|Duplicate: Y" | wc -l); Ps "Font problems"; for d in {/,}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}*; do o=$(ls -A "$d" | egrep -v '\.DS_Store|^com\.apple'); Pm "$d"; done; o=$(ls /L*/L*/Dia*/*.panic | wc -l); Ps "Panics"; o=$(ls /L*/L*/Dia*/*.c* | tail); Pm "System crash logs"; o=$(ls L*/L*/Dia* | tail); Pm "User crash logs"; [[ "$r" -eq 0 ]] && { o=$(sudo profiles -P); Pm "Profiles"; o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|calendarse|cups|dove|isc|ntp|post[fg]|x)/{print $3}'); Pm "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); Pm "Login hook"; Pc "Root crontab" <(sudo crontab -l);}; o=$(syslog -F bsd -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail -n25 | awk '/:/{$4=""; $5=""; print}'); Pm "Kernel messages"; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; exit
    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). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
    The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
    You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again. If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window.
    When you post the output, you might see in your browser the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the output on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may offer you advice based on the output of the script. They speak only for themselves and I don't necessarily agree with their views.

  • Suddenly extremely slow Time Machine backups on Time Capsule

    My Time Machine backups on Time Capsule have been pretty good in the last few months. In the last week or so I am seeing painfully slow backups. It's not the preparing or the finishing phase, it's the backup itself. Data transfer for other apps is fine. The backup transfers about 50 Kb per second. In more than 3 hours it backed up about 600 Mb. Here's what I get from the Console:

    Any clue? What happened? (I did an Airport-related upgrade recently)
    My set up is a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme.

    Well, this link has a video describing a downgrade:
    http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/airport-extreme-and-time-capsule-firmware-downgrad ing/11537477/
    It has been mentioned in apple discussions here as well, but with no other information than that it has helped some people.
