    It may be running slow because your backup program, MyBusinessWork, is running: running] com.MyBusinessWorks.backup.plist.

  • My iMac suddenly started running extremely slowly.  Any ideas as to what might be causing it?

    My iMac has always run like a champ but it suddenly started running very slowly today.  I haven't done anything different.  I'm not running all kinds of programs.  I've restarted several times and it takes about 20 minutes to start up.  The little color wheel starts spinning every time I start to do anything and each task takes 10-20 minutes to complete.  I can't do much in the way of self-diagnosis as it takes too long to do anything.  I'm writing this from another computer.  Any ideas of things to try before I bring it in for repairs?
    Thanks.

    In general you should always have at least  15 - 20% of your hardd rive Free
    No, this is an urban legend; you don't need 15-20% free. You should try to maintain around 30GB free, no matter what the size of your drive--and that's just a very rough ballpark; you may need much less or more,  depending on how you use your computer. But you won't notice slowdowns of this order until you get really close to the edge, much lower than 30GB.
    There are two possible causes for this. One, your drive is failing and you should be sure you have all your data backed up on an external before it dies completely. To check your drive get the free demo of SMART Utility. (But don't even think about doing this until you have a backup in place. That's much more important.)
    http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php
    The other is you may have exhausted all your available RAM and the the system is writing to the hard disk instead because nothing is left. The drive may be "thrashing" trying to accomplish this. This will make things very slow and eventually may just freeze everything up.
    Open Activity Monitor in Utilities, go to the System Memory tab. How much free memory is showing? What do you see for Page ins, Page outs and Swap used?

  • Java apps have started running very slowly since last update.  Anyone else experiencing any problems.

    There is an java app that I have run for years without any problem  Within the last few days it started running very slowly.  I went to the Apple store and ran the same app and experienced exactly the same problem 
    Yesterday I tried running this app on a Windows based machine and it ran perfectly. 
    I was all set to download the latest java when I saw that Apple supplied the java version on the MAC.
    I have run sotware updates and get results that all software is uptodate.
    Any suggestions?

    There are many people who have posted about persistent  export failures since the update. A search will uncover a number of threads just within the past month. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to these problems – and if there is common fix, I haven't heard about it.
    However, the update hasn't been a problem for me – nor presumably has it been for the majority of users.

  • My Mac Air is running very slowly

    My Mac Air has started running very slowly.  It is running Yosemite 10.10.2

    Hello All,
    Same frustrating problem here with my MBA. It's running slow, fans are running at full throttle from boot to power down, the apparently notorious known  kernel_task process using between 200-400% CPU resources and some 450MB memory.
    I have been reading hundreds of good support community threads, tried all reasonable advises such as resetting SCM, PRAM, upgrading from Maverick to Yosemite 10.3.3, endless chats with Apple support (nice peoples, but no help). I am getting desperate and close to deaf listing to the fans in my MBA.
    Have seen several good supportive posts from Etresoft in various communities and now here again. Took the opportunity to download linked error check software and have inserted result below. I do however not expect this will really help in finding a solution, but you never know.
    ANY advise and feedback appreciated (y)
    Cheers,
    Torben

  • Portege A100 suddenly started going very slowly

    Hi,
    I have a Portege A100 which has suddenly started going very slowly. It takes a good 5 minutes to load completely up when it used to be far faster. I have tried reloading Windows onto it several times but as soon as you start loading other pieces of software onto it the speed deteriorates significantly.
    I have also tried using software to completely wipe the hard drive before putting Windows back on but this doesn't seem to solve the problem either.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hello David
    I have had similar behavior on my old Satellite 1900. At the end I have checked HDD and there are many bad sectors. At the beginning everything was OK but after installation of few different applications Satellite was slower and slower.
    At the end I have exchanged HDD and everything was OK again. I recommend you to check HDD to see if there are some bad sectors. If yes buy new HDD. Sector repair will not help much.

  • The spot removal tool in Lightroom 5 has suddenly started running REALLY slowly, to the point of being unusable.  What should I do?!

    My spot removal tool was working absolutely fine and then suddenly started running really slowly.  I now can't adjust easily as there's a lag of about 5 seconds between moving the mouse and the icon moving on screen. I've tried splitting my catalog (which is not actually that big - less than 3000 photos) but that doesn't work.  Help!  I really need to do some photo editing and I'm running really far behind work-wise!

    This has nothing to do with catalog size. Splitting the catalog won't help.
    This is a common issue with the spot removal tool, if you remove LOTS of spots in a single photo, it will begin to run slowly; the more spots you remove, the slower it will get. If you have a photo which requires huge amounts of spot removal, it would be better to do this in a "desctructive editor" like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. 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 test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. 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 the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. 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.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. 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 test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • HT1338 my mac pro started running very slow not all the time it is only 2 months old

    My new macpro has been running very slow off and on (mostly on) it is only 2 months old I took it into the genius bar and they could not find anything wrong.  I took it home and it ran fine for a short while then started up again. I have watched activity monitor and can see no direct corellation.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Did you install anything new lately?
    Run any programs that purport to "clean", "speed up", or "optimize" your Mac

  • MacBook Pro suddenly started running really slowly.

    I have a:
    MacBook Pro 13", mid 2012
    2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Macintosh HD
    OS X Version 10.9.4
    2 days ago I had about 10 tabs on Chrome, a few word documents and about 5 large PDFs open when suddenly my computer got really slow (I've had similar amounts open before and it's never been an issue).  I shut everything down and restarted but it has been slow ever since.
    I'm not great with computers but from reading online forums I booted into safe mode and ran Disk Repair and Repaired Permissions but doesn't seem to have done much.  I also downloaded and installed OS X Mavericks (which took a full day) but has made little difference.  It seems slightly faster than went it first started but not sure if it is.
    As I say, I'm not great with computers so any help would be good.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    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.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe modeand log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • My mac suddenly starting running slow

    My Mac running OSX 10.6.8 is suddenly running slow.  Freezing up in Safari and Iphoto.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    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.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • My Mac Mini is running very slowly how can I sort this out?

    I have a Mac Mini which is constantly backed up.  I use it a lot for everything and run two email accounts - one gmail and one business.  I appear to have only used 1/4 of the memory.  I have looked at the activity monitor but it does not mean much to me I am afraid.  Can anyone help?

  • Mac Pro started running very slow

    Just recently, my computer started taking a long time to load prgrams, and to quit programs (1 - 2 minutes).  Plus programs have been crashing or not responding when I try to quit.  I don't know what's going on.
    I ran the disc utlility and the hard drive checked out fine.  The drive is less than half full.  Any ideas?  Anyone?

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
    If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. 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.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, 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?
    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.
