New T530 very slow

I just bought a new T530 and it is running very slow.  A little background.  I am not too tech savvy and use a T520, T420 (both of which I bought used) and this new T530.  All are i5, 4 GB RAM and because they are work machines I have whole disc encryption, VPN software and some other required software.  All have regular HDD as spped hasn't been an issue for me.  Of the 3 my T420 is by far the fastest.  The T520 is slower but acceptable but the brand new T530 is very slow.  I use Chrome for my personal browser on all machines but for work stuff it is Internet Explorer 8 and Microsoft Outlook for e-mail.  I have searched posts here and deleted some of the Lenovo and Thinkpad preloaded software, performed updates, stiopped some start-up programs in msconfig and made sure it is set to maximum performance.  Even when I have no programs running the processor is running in the background constantly.  It is slow to boot up and slow to open any programs.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I am going to try and use the 530 and 420 side by side to compare what processes and services are running to see what is different.  Any other suggestions would be very helpful.

Are you using software FDE? If so, are they all using accelerated AES-NI?

  • New folder, very slow typing response

    Just bought my 2nd 13" mb pro from the apple store, had them install an addition 2g memory before I took it home and ever since I opened the package a couple weird things are happening.
    1) In entourage, when I goto make a new sub-folder below my INBOX I type in the name of the folder and the type is very very slow, never keeps up and it jumbles the words in the wrong positions. Eg. I type FITNESS on the keyboard, and it comes up NIFITESS and is very slow doing that. Whats the deal? New laptop, original and registered office installed. (almost like it has low memory)
    2) The system sometimes will hang for 5-10 seconds doing normal tasks, always comes back but it acts like it has memory issues
    Any help?

    I am going to take her in tomorrow, since its new there is no reason why I shouldn't. The PRAM reset "seems" to have fixed the issue. Just not sure why I would have to reset that on a brand new machine 2 hours after it was turned on for the first time, makes me think something else is brewing in there.

  • New iMac very slow? why?

    Hi,
    I have recently bought brand new iMac 21,5" 2,7 Ghz i5 with 8GB ram and 1 TB memory. I have transfered all data from Time Machine backup. And my computer is very very slow with apps, expecialy when it wakes up from sleep. I turn on safari, illustrator and photoshop and it takes 10 minutes to became normal. If I open mail it is very very slow. Also, twitter app. I don't know where the problem is. It is brand new computer. It has all the power. I have checked "verify disk" and everything is ok. I have repaired all permissions, and still nothing. iPhoto is extremely slow but its just iPhoto, very bad program.
    But after 5-10 minutes after wakeup iMac starts to behave normal. When Photoshop is turned on (after 5-10 min) it starts to act normal. Sometimes excel doesn't won't to turn on. Mouse icon turns rainbow circle and nothing. I force quit it and start again and after 2-3 minutes it opens.
    Does anybody have an idea what should i do?

    Thank you. Here are info:

  • New Firefox Very Slow Bookmarks all gone restore not working Can I get them back?

    Woke up today to new firefox update installed. Now Firefox VERY slow & all of my Bookmarks are gone as well as Bookmarks Toolbar empty. IE runs fast like usual, but Firefox barely loading.
    Tried Restore from available dates, but all come back unable to process.

    Some of you will want to shoot me; Mozilla may yank this reply. BUT I had the same problem for about a week, struggled in vain, poured over the help section and got 3 replies to my posted question. Nothing, absolutely nothing worked.
    Want to know what solution I finally came up with? '''''CHROME.'''''
    It imported my precious bookmarks from IE and FF. I'm going to uninstall IE now and leave FF as an emergency backup browser which I don't expect to need anymore.

  • Creation of new OracleConnection VERY SLOW in VS2008

    Hi all,
    I've only found one other post regarding this issue with the latest version of the oracle data provider (2.111.6.20) on the Oracle Developer Tools for VS Forum (at: Re: Need help troubleshooting extremely slow ODT speeds in VS 2005. Figured I'd post it here to see if anyone else is experiencing problems.
    I've got VS2008 with the latest release of ODAC/Developer tools for VS installed and when I try to just create a connection object (i.e. OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection()), it is taking upwards of 45 seconds to create. Obviously this is unsuitable. Is this a known bug? If so, do I need to revert back to older version of OracleDataAccess assembly as stated in the aforementioned post?
    I'm really looking for a solution with this version however, as I'm trying to work with some UDTs in Oracle and converting to custom types in .NET and from what I've read, this latest version is the only one that can do so. (correct me if I'm wrong).
    Any information is appreciated!

    Hi Greg. Indeed, it is the constructor, which seemed very strange to me. But, here's my latest developments... Guess I failed to mention what platforms I was running on, which I'm pretty sure probably had something to do with it. I had a development environment on both a Vista 64-bit, and a Windows Server 2008 (both VMWare virtual machines). Each had two oracle clients installed, both 11g (instant) and 10gR2 (full), as I needed the 10g client for Quest Code tester (entirely different issue!). Anyway, I'm fairly certain that neither of those platforms are officially supported, so most likely my fault.
    I didn't run your test, but I had something similar set up as follows:
    using System;
    using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
    using System.Diagnostics;
    namespace oratest
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
    sw.Start();
    OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection();
    sw.Stop();
    TimeSpan ts = sw.Elapsed;
    Console.WriteLine(ts.Seconds.ToString());
    The results printed ranged from 20-45 seconds!!!
    So, I went ahead and created exactly the same setup on a Vista 32-bit virtual machine. Ran the same test and voila, 0 seconds. If your interested, I ran with the ts.Milliseconds.ToString() in the last line and it resulted in 611 milliseconds. So, I've moved my current project development environment to the new Vista 32-bit virtual machine and it seems to be working fine.
    Just as a side bar however, I've also been doing quite a bit of development on a real (non-virtual) 64-bit Vista machine, and the new ODP has been working just fine. But, I have only the 11g client installed on that machine. Could it be confusion between the multiple versions? Platform issues? Both? Don't know myself, but am content enough to work in my new environment.
    Cheers,
    Aaron

  • New iPhoto Very Slow on Mavericks

    Basic specs:
    - iMac (Late 2011, Dual Thunderbolt)
    - 24GB RAM
    - iPhoto Library at 800GB, 110K photos, ~300 albums over 10 years)
    - New photos shot with Canon 6D (RAW + JPEG). Ave file size for RAW ~16MB, JPEG 4MB.
    Symptoms:
    - iPhoto 11 worked incredibly well.  Would shoot a few hundred shots, import, then run through and tag / flag
    - Upgraded to Mavericks.  No issues with old iPhoto.
    - New iPhoto installed, now rendering of iPhoto thumbnails takes 30-60s to resolve when opening album
    - Arrow keying through photos in album takes 20-30 seconds per photo.  Impossibly slow.
    Any clues on what might be happening? 

    Just posting to close this out.  I had left iPhoto up and running on my machine all day (12+ hours).
    Interesting - it's now very fast. The disk access has stopped, and I can browse / edit / tag photos extremely quickly.
    The only two things I did:
    - Last night I opened my iPhoto Library in Aperture, browsed an album to verify the problem was NOT in Aperture / the library.
    - Reopened in iPhoto, left it open
    My best guesses now:
    - There is some background task (updating every thumbnail, updating facial tagging/guessing) that was running through 800GB of photos in the background.  Once complete, the app is responsive.
    - iPhoto knows when you complain about it on apple.com and that puts it on good behavior.
    Not sure, but glad it's working again.

    A "Bench" test on the hole machine gives good a result compared to another smaller G5, but the new Harddrive has a very bad performance, only around 20% of the other machine in the compared test.
    Does the slow start up, got anything to do withe the new hardrive...
    or do I have two problems on my G5??

  • My MacBook Pro is brand new but very slow. So disappointing. Why is it starting very slowly?

    My Macbook Pro 13' is brand new however, it does not serve me well compared to my old compaq laptop. It is so annoying and disppointing. I am also a new user of Mac than Windows. There's something going on especially when I am to start up my Mac, it takes so long. Very embarrasing even. Plus, I thought of adding a mcaffee anti-virus thinking it will solve any problem but it gotten worse. Nothing so disppointing like Macbook PRO! can't even uninstall completely the anti-virus. Can someone please assist a beginner in Mac like me? Thank you.

  • Color printing with new Pixma very slow

    (this was also posted on the general Airport Extreme forum, but I realized later that it's more pertinent to this one)
    I recently replaced a Canon Pixma iP4300 printer with an iP4700. It works fine when it's connected directly to my iMac, but when I connect it to my Airport Extreme (to share it with other computers in the house), the color printing is extremely slow. Regular document printing is fine, but a color graphic or photograph takes a very long time. This never happened with my iP4300.
    I've tried all the suggestions in the Printer Troubleshooting file and all my drivers and software are the latest versions.
    Any other things I should try?

    Hello Andy, Thank you!
    - The computer is a New MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM.
    - Many times, I try with new libraries, even I try Format to zeros, and when import new pictures, the problem appears again. 
    - All the pictures are imported to the main HD.
    - Is a regular spinning type.
    - I had try every option, even change the computer for a new one.
    - Yes, the OS en every case was updated to latest version.
    - No problem by the questions, I apreciate your help.
    Best regards!
    Ps.
         In some users chats, the people says that is a bug of the last version of Aperture, but not in all cases appears. 

  • HT6346 New iMac very slow after upgrading to Yosemite...

    I recently purchased a 21.5 inch iMac and had it specced up. I was very happy with it until last week when I upgraded it to Yosemite. It has slowed down significantly. When switching between programmes and selecting different actions, it appears to stop, then the "thinking wheel" appears, before carrying out the requested command. Sometimes as much as 10 seconds. For example: the simple act of hitting "reply" in mail, it takes as much a s10 seconds to open a reply mail. I videoed it several times. Very disappointed...
    Specs
    iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013)
    3.1 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1024 MB
    just the process of copying and pasting the specs from About this Mac, took ages. Each line "thought" about it for several seconds before allowing me to select it.

    Similar problem here too (quite high spec 2011 iMac 27") ; takes longer to boot up and Safari is slower under Yosemite than Mavericks.I  have just installed Firefox and had a play around with it and it is much faster than safari ~ just couldn't get the appearance the way I liked so uninstalled. This morning I was using a five year old Compaq (averagely specced) and using Chrome it was much much faster than Safari is currently. I like Apple products (and just bought a new iPod classic for spare ) have, iPad etc but these 'upgrades' are like puling teeth for me. IOS 8 was useless on iPad 2 but improved slightly yesterday with IOS 8.1. I have little interest in technology as an end in itself, ( hifi and audio is my thing) just wanting it to work. I still can't send emails since Yosemite was installed last week as 'smtp servers are offline' ~ well, no they're not as email still works on iPad, android phones and compaq using the same servers.  This really irritates. I was so impressed with iPad 2 when I got it ~ it set itself up virtually and I was sold on Apple's ease of use but I don't get back the 3 hours I spent last Friday checking settings, deleting accounts, re-adding email  accounts and ultimately failing to fix it.
    Yesterday I went to a famous dept store here in the UK to get an iPad mini with retina display as our iPad 2 is 3 years old  but I left the store without buying it; just got sidetracked by looking at Samsung and believe it or not, Surface 3 program microsoft. Enough doubt in my mind after IOS7/8 and now Yosemite.
    I still think Apple's products are beautifully designed and aesthetically and ergonomically impressive, but the Yosemite experience is draining; everyone glad handing about how great it is and it patently isn't. The design changes in the mac mini (lower performance than 2012 model ) and iMac (5K screen notwithstanding, much more difficult to make internal changes)) looks like arrogance.
    Sorry for the negative rant but that's almost certainly me done

  • New Customer Very Slow BB Speed

    Hi,
    Im looking for some help with my broadband speed, the technical help in India don't seem to be very knowledgeable.
    When signing to BT I asked what speeds I could hope to achieve, I was told between 5-8 which I was very happy about as iv just moved into a new build house in a small village.
    I work from home from my PC so its vital to me to have a good connection to work from. I arranged the whole move around the date they gave me for the engineers visit to install the new physical line. Which was booked over a month in advance, only to be cancelled by text the day before I moved in @ 6pm on a Sat.
    A month later I finally have a line installed with a pathetic 0.8 connection, more dial up speed than broadband!
    After a lot of phone calls to the tech department im now being told my line should receive 3.5 meg not the 5-8 meg I was told by the sale department.
    If I could get 3.5 right now I would be over the moon, never thought I would say that. Iv left the BT hub on now for ten days and my speeds have gone down from 1.2 to 0.8 and im finding it impossible to work with these speeds.
    Iv tried to test my speeds with the bt speed tester site but it wont let me, I get an error  (Sorry, we can't run the test for your number at the moment. Please go to the download speed check.) So I have been using speedtest.net 
    The test are done with a i7 16gb rig, using ethernet cable to the bt hub, the hub is connect to the master socket with the filter supplied by bt. There's no home phone connected and all other wireless devices are disconnected.
    Iv asked neighbours and other people in the village what speeds they are receiving and im told between 3-7meg so im hoping something can be done to increase my speed??
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Sorry James, didnt see that, heres the full details.

  • New Contract -- Very Slow Speeds--900kbps

    Hi Everyone, i am glad to find a community service like this. 
    I have been a BT Broadband customer since the start, BT has always been a good reliable service.  For approx two years I had the unlimited 8meg service that included a mobile phone.  BT Anywhere.  I phoned BT to cancel the mobile phone, during the call I was told i was paying too much for my service and if i signed up to Option 3 up to 20 meg BB i could save £20 I Did, I was promised no changes to my speed. This new contract started on the 31 Aug. No problems until last week. 
    On my old 8meg contract i could guarantee speeds of 2500-3000kbps during the day and 5000kbps after 12am. The last 5 days all I can get is 900kbps, at any time, trying multiple routers etc .... I am not sure if this change is tied into my contract.  I normally use a Netgear DG router which reports a downstream of 5000+.  To show stats and to test i am using my HomeHub.  Any suggestion/help what has caused the slow speed all of a sudden would be greatly appreciated. 
    I phoned Customer Service...and to be honest i did not get an answer just unplug this ..unplug that ..etc no changes. An engineer was booked for next month, not sure what they will do.
    Thanks

  • New connection very slow - is this normal ?

    Hi
    I just had option 3 broadband installed today but seem to be stuck on an IP profile of 2 Mbps. It was supposed to be 6-8, probably 7 Mbps.
    The line is clean and I tried the quiet line and it was very quiet.
    I understand there's a 10 day bedding in period, but wouldn't it start high and go down from there ?
    How long will I have to wait at 2 Mbps ?
    Cheers

    2mb is the starting point. You need to stay connected 24/7 for next 10 days as that is initial training period. if still 2mb after training then come back to the forum. Bt will not help during training period

  • Re: New Customer Very Slow BB Speed

    I'm afraid I cannot follow all this technical stuff, but I am VERY dissatisfied with my BT Broadband speed. The customer shouldn't have to know and do all that stuff. I was previously with Virgin and it just WORKED !   This is awful.
    When I run BT Speed test it tells me 5.3 mbps.  When I use an independant speedtester it tells me 1.3 mbps.
    Which is correct, and why the difference ?

  • When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

    When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue.

    Hi Jdentremont,
    Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
    the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
    deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
    To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
    1.  Navigate to
     “X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
    You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
    2. Delete all the files in this folder.
    3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
    4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
    5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
    Best regards,
    Eric
