My solution for: Slow Installs and poor performance

So up until today, most of anyting on XP or even vista 64 ultimate was taking a very long time to install or copy from one part of the drive to another. Startup would grow longer and game performance was dying and only once ever did reinstalling the OS do anything. No matter what I did, nothing would fix the problem.
I ran multiple utilities (disk utility, disk warrior, tech tool deluxe, etc) but none said that there was a hardware problem. But this issue I was having (and I know some of you do) was definitely related to the computer. From my experience, I determined that there was no way this mac was perfect.
So I scheduled a service and repair at my apple store (under warranty). When it was done a few days later, sure enough, I was told that even though the utilities we users can use on our end to diagnose problems didn't find any problems, the hard drive did not pass apple's detailed inspection and was replaced.
In conclusion, I say that if you are having this problem, run disk utility and if you have the extra protection plan, download the Tech Tool Deluxe that apple provides on the support site. Disk utility may find some permission and disk issues but if Tech Tool doesnt find anything even on the surface scan, take it in to the apple store to have a Genius look at it. If it's not under warranty, it's up to you whether or not you want to spend that money. Overall, my computer both on Leopard and XP now runs just as it should.
Hope that helps.

Solution for Slow Open and Save As Dialogs under 10.4.4

I don't know how many others out there may be experiencing this, but...
I noticed that -- after updating to 10.4.4 -- I started getting really long delays when accessing Open and Save As file dialogs -- I mean, sometimes it would take 5 to 15 seconds for the dialog to appear!
I did a lot of troubleshooting, and finally hit upon the solution a couple of nights ago:
It's the Desktop iDisk!
Going into the .Mac Preference Pane and turning off "iDisk Syncing" has totally eliminated the slowdown.
I think it has something to do with DiskMirrorAgent, since that has frozen on me a couple of times and prevented logoff until I force-quit it.
'Hope this helps.

Hi Matt,
One can always manually mount the iDisk when needed, and it still syncs, albeit in real time, and kind of herky-jerky.
As for the slowdown when multiple items are mounted, I believe I'm describing a different issue, related to DiskMirrorAgent. If and when you get this slowdown (with desktop iDisk syncing enabled), check Activity Monitor, and you'll see DiskMirrrorAgent sucking up most of the CPU time for the time it takes before the dialog appears. My record time was about 25 seconds.
As for slow Open and Save As dialogs when multiple items are mounted: I customarily have several external FireWire drives mounted, and often a couple of CDs and/or DVDs (I produce a radio program, and have several optical drives), and I have had no Open or Save As dialog slowdowns since at least 10.3.x, maybe earlier.
Even when the dialog opens to a directory on a CD that has spun down, the opening time on an Open or Save As dialog is nearly instantaneous for me, suggesting that Mac OS X 10.4.x is doing a good job of caching the data.
But I hear you about the "old days," when it used to take forever to get a dialog to appear, just because a CD was mounted! Maddening!

Safari hangs and poor performance in MBPR (Mid 2012)

Safari hangs and poor performance in MBPR (Mid 2012)? OS X 10.10.2 is up to date

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?

Need a solution for integration BPM and UCM 11.1.1.4?

Hi all,
Currently, I am using BPM & SOA 11.1.1.4.
Could somebody advise me a solution for integration BPM and UCM ?
I heard somebody said that need to wait to BPM 11G patch set 5 (11.1.1.6) version, which have basic BPM and UCM integration and haven't to using external API like RIDC or CIS.
Thanks & Regards.
Ming Nguyen.

Do not use prebuilt binaries, but compile the package from source with the current libudev.
sha256sums=(SKIP)
source=("$pkgname::git+https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit.git#tag=nw-v$pkgver")
to build it in the PKGBUILD, use nw-gyp i guess.

An SAP Solution for capital planning and Budgeting of Capital Assets?

Is there an SAP Solution for the Planning and Budgeting of Capital Assets?
A solution that provides planning, budgeting, and tracking for capital assets through the entire life cycle of each asset, from the initial request through the final disposal.
The solution needs to be able to run scenarios. A scenario contains equipment that may potentially be purchased. Scenario items are used to help determine cost, capacity, and cash flow feasibility.

Hi
What you suggested is the ideal approach...
However, if they say that the budget allocated to capital purposes (70%) applies to both capital projects and expenses and they would like to control it together, but have reports separately, it is not possible with standard SAP...
If they want to have just one IO for both cap and exp, You can suggest them a work around to capture CAPITAL or EXPENSE in a ref field (XREF1 in BSEG) and you can run KOB1 with XREF1 displayed in it....
In standard KOB1, XREF1 is not displayed, you have to use Exit COOMEP01 to include the fields you want... Add XREF1 to the Structure CI_RKPOS and write your code in the include ZXKAEPU01 of EXIT_SAPLKAEP_001
Without an identifier @ the time of booking the transaction in the system (Either by way of IO or a ref field), you wont be able to generate reports later on

Skype crashing and poor performance

Hello!
I have a Lumia625 with WP8.1. My problem is that Skype has a really poor performance on my phone. It crashes 6 times out of 10 on startup, and even if I manage to start it, the whole app is slow and laggy. Sometimes I can't even write a message it's so laggy. Video call is absolutely out of the question. It crashes my whole phone. I have no similar problems with other instant messaging apps nor with high-end games. There is something obviously using way more resource in the Skype app than it's supposed to. It's a simple chat program, why would it need so much resource?
The problem seems to be originating from the lower (512 mb) RAM size of my phone model, because I experienced the same effect with poorly written apps, that don't keep in mind that there are 512 RAM devices, not only 1GB+ ones, and use too much resource.
Please don't try to suggest to restart/reset the phone, and reinstall the app. Those are already behind me, and they did NOT help the problem. I'm not searching for temporary workarounds.
Please find a solution for this problem, because it is super annoying, and I can't use Skype, which will eventually result in me leaving Skype.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When it crashes on startup it goes like:
I tap the skype tile
The black screen with the "Loading....." appears (default WP loading screen). Usually this takes longer than it would normally take on any other app.
For a blink of an eye the Skype gui appears, but it instantly crashes.
If I can successfully start up the app, it just keeps lagging. I sart to write a message to a contact, and sometimes even the letters don't appear as I touch them, but they appear much later altogether. If I tap the send message button the whole gui freezes (seems like it freezes till the contact gets my message). Sometimes the lag get stronger, and sometimes it almost vanishes, but if I keep making inputs when the lag is strong, sometimes it crashes the whole app.
When I first installed the app, everything was fine. But after a while this behavior appeared. I reinstalled the app, and it solved the problem temporarily, but after some time the problem re-appeared. I don't know if it's relevant, but there was a time when I couldn't make myself appear online all the time (when the app was not started). In that time I didn't experience the lags and crashes. Anyways, what I'm sure about is that the lags get worse with time. Idk if it's because of use of the app (caching?), or the updates the phone makes to itself (conflict?).
I will try to reinstall Skype. Probably it will fix it for now. I hope the problem won't appear again.

MBP (mid-2009) freezing, slow installations and file transfer

I bought the latest MacBook Pro model and installed Snow Leopard on a cleanly formatted hard drive. I have tried migrating via ethernet and FireWire from my iMac, but the migrations failed either due to freezing (via FireWire after roughly 24 hours of file transfer) or by an error message (ethernet with Migration Assistant).
Only through a Time Machine backup was I able to transfer my account files to the MBP, which again totaled at over 20 hours of transferring. The system was a mess, clogged constantly by freezing and spinning beach balls of death for durations lasting around 10-20 seconds during which music would clip after 5-10 seconds of everything not responding, this being accentuated especially during installations. I decided to format and try anew.
Now I've formatted the hard drive, installed Snow Leopard and will transfer my files manually onto a clean account. Installations take a long time although SL installation is within 30 minutes, iLife took 1.5 hours to install 5 GB. During the installation Safari stopped responding, as did the entire system, and the spinning beach ball would keep spinning. Watching a 480p trailer in Quicktime made the entire computer freeze up (no video/audio) for 10 seconds halfway. Transferring 136 GB (my Music folder) will take around 15 hours according to the estimate after 10 minutes of transferring.
I've sold my iMac now and all I have are the files on my external hard drive. I want to get them onto my MBP ASAP but the slowness is preventing me from doing what needs to be done and it's very frustrating. When I try to boot into Hardware Testing by holding D down the computer doesn't do it no matter what (Application DVD in or not, plugged into power or not). I've tried resetting PRAM but I get the same inaction.
Any ideas?
Edit: I've done Disk Utility to no avail, it finds nothing wrong.

Installed, still getting freezes with spinning beach balls. Transfer says it would take 1 hour opposed to that 15 hours, but it stops transferring after X amount of gigabytes (from 0.5 to 5), not do anything for a while and then continue, stretching the estimate to over 2 hours after some time. I don't know if this is just with the hard drive.
The freeze-ups are frustrating as **** and make for a very poor experience. Any ideas to get to the bottom of this? I still haven't been able to boot into the Hardware Test no matter how much I try.

Invalid block count and poor performance

Hi - Can anyone help?
Running an early 2011 13' MBP on ML. For a year - 18 months I've noticed poor performance at times, consistently slow boot (sometimes 5 minutes to usable), occasional lockups and spotlight often reindexes itself and slows the system (much more than my previous MBP), I can't see anything that triggers it. I'm also getting recurring errors in Disk Utility of 'Invalid block count', every time I'll repair the disk (booting into recovery), but after a month of use the error will reappear. About three months ago I erased and reinstalled ML, some of my data was moved over in Time Machine but I didn't restore from it. The erase and reinstall hasn't made any difference and I'm still seeing the same issues. Hard disk SMART status appears to be fine.
Can anyone recommend any troubleshooting steps? I'm not sure what else to do, still under Applecare and was thinking maybe the HD isn't working correctly?
Cheers!

Crashing and poor performance during playback of a large project.

Hi,
I've been a regular user of iMovie for about 3 years and have edited several 50GB+ projects of DV quality footage without too many major issues with lag or 'dropped frames'. I currently have a 80GB project that resides on a 95% full 320GB Firewire 400 external drive that has been getting very slow to open and near impossible to work with.
Pair the bursting-at-the-seams external drive, with an overburdened 90% full internal drive - the poor performance wasn't to be unexpected. So I bought a 1TB Firewire 400 drive to free up some space on my Mac. My large iTunes library (150GB) was the main culprit and it was quickly moved onto the new drive.
The iMovie project was then moved onto my Mac's movie folder - I figured that the project needs some "room" to work (not that I really understand how Macs use memory) and that having roughly 80GB free with 1.5GB RAM (which is more than used to have) would make everything just that much smoother.
Wrong.
The project opened in roughly the same amount of time - but when I tried to play back the timeline, it plays like rubbish and then after 10-15 secs the Mac goes into 'sleep' mode. The screen goes off, the fans dies down and the 'heartbeat' light goes on. A click of the mouse 'wakes' the Mac only to find that if i try again, I get the same result.
I've probably got so many variables going on here that it's probably hard to suggest what the problem might be but all I could think of was repairing permissions (which I did and none needed it).
Stuck on this. Anyone have any advice?

I understand completely, having worked with a 100 GB project once. I found that getting a movie bloated up to that size was just more difficult with jerky playback.
I do have a couple of suggestions for you.
You may need more than that 80GB free space for this movie. Is there any reason you cannot move it to the 1TB drive? If you have only your iTunes on it, you should have about 800 GB free.
If you still need to have the project on your computer's drive, set your computer to never sleep.
How close to finishing editing are you with this movie? If you are nearly done except for adding audio clips, you can export (share) it as QuickTime Full Quality movie. The resultant quicktime version of your iMovie will be smaller because it will contain only the clips actually used in the movie, not all the saved whole clips that iMovie keeps as its nondestructive editing feature. The quicktime movie will be one continuous clip, incorporating all your edits and added audio. It CAN be further edited, but you cannot change text of titles already there, or change transitions or remove already added audios.
I actually do this with nearly every iMovie. I create my movies by first importing videos, then adding still photos, then editing with titles, effects and transitions. I add audio last, and if it becomes too distorted in playback, I export the movie and then continue adding audio clips.
My 100+ GB movie slimmed down to only 8 GB with this method. (The large size was due to having so many clips. The movie was from VHS footage of my son's little league all-star game, and the video had so many skipped segments that I had to split it into thousands of clips to remove the dropped ones. Very old VHS tape!).
I haven't upgraded to QT 7.5.5, but I heard that the jerky playback issue is mostly resolved with this new upgrade. I am in mid-project with about 5 iMovies, so I will probably plod along with my work-around method, not wanting to upgrade in the middle of any of them.
Hope this is helpful to you.

Possible solution to wireless/bluetooth/and system performance issues.

I had a TON of issues with Leopard after my Tiger Install, network, bluetooth, video playback, iTunes playback, system performance and freezing just to name a few. I tried everything (reseting PRAM, etc.) to fix the problem and have done a variety if installations half a dozen times. Yesterday I took out my 3rd party memory I had installed (Corsair if anyone cares) and did an erase and install. I've had no problems so far and everything seems to be running great. I'll keep everyone posted on any progress. You may want to try this if you think you may have the same issue.

Hi
I may have the solution to slow performance when using multi core processing. I was testing out realflow 2013 and noticed simulations were talking a long time to finish when using maximum threads 32. I set the threads to 8 and the simumlation was twice as fast which did not make any sense to me. The simulation was taking 1min 24 secs to finish using 32 threads and 45sec using 8 threads. I realized their has to be a problem here. So I went into my BIOS and disabled Hyper Threading. So now instead of having 32 threads I only have 16 threads. When i went back to try the same simulation again this time the 16 threads was only taking 24secs to finish. and the 8 threads was taking 35secs to finish. This made a lot more sence to me.
Anyway so once I realized that turning off Hyper Threading fixed my simulation problem maybe it might be the cause of my slow performance in AE using multi processing. I tried AE and now multi processing is working great very fast now and stable. MP renders start right away now instead of getting stuck on frame 2 or saying initializing background processes and never ever doing anything. Before I had to keep disabling MP and re-enabling it in AE to get it to start working again and still it wasen't very stable
If anybody is having issues with slow performance from their Multi processor systems try disabling Hyper Threading in the BIOS it might just fix your problem.
Hope this helps

Very Slow Broadband and Poor Customer Service

Hi,
Since April we have been having issues with our broadband line dropping the connection and terribly slow speed (around 0.4Mbs). We have had 3 engineer visits changing the master socket, home hub, filter and even work done out in the road. Each one has supposedly 'fixed' the problem, only for it to return to the very slow speeds within a week or so.
Our fourth engineer visit was booked for this morning, and the engineer failed to arrive. I received a phone call to say BT needed to re-arrange the appointment as the reason the engineer hadn't arrived was because BT had decided that it needed to be a 'multi services' engineer not a 'external' engineer.
I didn't even get an apology when I pointed out that I'd taken half a day off work to wait for the engineer when I could have been notified that the visit had been cancelled. Unfortunately we got cut off before I could re arrange the appointment so I called back, only to be told by the next person that in fact the reason the engineer hadn't attended was because of a BT OpenReach outage. After re-arranging the engineer visit I've now been sent 2 confirmation texts one to say they will be coming on Friday, one to say they will be coming on Monday. Hence another 10 minutes of my day calling to confirm when they would actually be attending.
I have also been incorrectly charged the £129.99 Engineer Home Improvement Charge as a result of the 2nd engineer visit due to an ‘admin error’. This was refunded to my account following 3 phone calls (one to ask why the money had been credited to my BT bill when I'd specifically asked for it to be returned to my bank account) but it caused me to go overdrawn in the process incurring bank charges.
I have raised 2 complaints, but no-one has contacted me concerning them (now 2 weeks and counting). When I finally lost it and called to cancel the contract I was told that as I was still in my minimum term I would have to pay £208 for the pleasure. My counter argument that for a total 3 months BT have not been providing the service we’re paying for seemed to fall on deaf ears.
I don't run a business, but I'm pretty sure this is not how to do it...
If anyone has any help/advice it would be greatly appreciated.

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

Solution for slow attachment downloads

I see a fair number of forum posts regarding slow Mail attachment downloads for .Mac accounts after moving to OSX 10.4.x from 10.3.x
I had the same problem and here’s what I did to address it. Your mileage may vary.
In Mail, crate a new account to access your .Mac mail account, but instead of connecting with the IMAP or .Mac settings, use POP.
This change, on my system, allows attachments to download at the speed of my internet connection.
Branwell
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It sure would be great it that were true. I find however its not at least on my workstation. My workstation Processors are only 2ghz. Mixer brushes seem to be multi-threaded for I see at least half the process are active when I use a mixer brush like the round fan stiff thin bristles. I see quite a bit activity on 12 processors.. However if I have two layers. My Canon 1D4 16MP image in 16bit color and an empty layer on top. The document is 4886x3264px. If I use a that brush as large mixer brush zoomed out so I'm working on all the image pixels. The lag is painfully slow. If Photoshop Performance setting are set to 4 cache levels and a tile size of 128k or 1028k. If I zoom in to Actual pixels so I'm only working on a screen size number of pixels the lag is still bad if I use a large tip size like 50 to 60px. If I use a small tip like 10px there is some lag but not painfully slow. Lag is bad when working on a large number of pixels and become painfully slow as brush size increases. On my windows workstation...
I think think the only way Photoshop performance could be improved would be to work on the small image being displayed and processing the image actual pixels in the background. Then syncing the the displayed image with the actual image when the background process become idle. Photoshop was not designed to be a Paint program. If your a painter an artiest I would think there are better paint programs in the market place then Photoshop.

Frequent timeouts and poor performance

Hello,
Starting this morning I'm experiencing a lot of timeouts and performance issues with my SQL Azure DB (located in West US), causing several Azure hosted services to fail. I've checked everything I can think of and it nothing shows a clear problem with our
databases. I'm not seeing anything on the dashboard, but can't help but wonder if there is an issue going on that hasn't been detected.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks,
-Fabio

Hi Fabio,
I work on the Cotega monitoring service for SQL Azure and I can also confirm that we saw a few customer who we notified of performance issues with SQL Azure as well.
Now that I write this, I am wondering if it might be worth adding to the service a page that lets anyone see the historical performance of SQL Azure based on aggregated data from all of the customers databases that we currently monitor. I wonder if
that would be useful for situations like this?
