My I Mac is very slow or not responding. Mail takes forever to open and pinwheel continues for along time

My I Mac, using 10.8.4 is very slow, mail takes forever to open and the spinning pinwheel starts every time I try to use mail. any suggestions?

What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
How full is your Apple Mail?
How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of "crapware" like so called hard drive "cleaning" apps?

Trying to move files to trash takes forever, and finder windows take forever to load files/apps

after recently installing Mackeeper (yes, I know..) and attempting to uninstall, my macbook pro 13" al. is taking forever to move a file to the trash, and it equally takes forever to open a finder window. running 10.6.8.

MacKeeper is an exception to the rule that system modifications should be uninstalled according to the developer's instructions. Although not generally recognized as such, MacKeeper is in fact a trojan, because the developer distributes an uninstaller that purports to delete it, but leaves behind something that causes popup ads to appear in the user’s web browser. Try following the instructions here:

I can't personally vouch for the accuracy of those instructions, but others seem to have had success with them.

Devices and Printers Menu takes forever to load

Devices and Printers Menu takes forever to load in WIndows 8.1.
For some reason the green bar goes all the way across the top of the screen before the devices and printers
menu will load. It then loads without an issue after waiting for almost two full minutes.
This is a core I7 Win 8.1 PC with 16GB of ram and an SSD so it screams otherwise.
I do have a lot of devices on my home network but my windows 7 PC which is on the same network loads the devices
and printers menu almost instantly. If it were a device hanging up you would think that the Windows 7 PC would also be affected but it isn't. I will say that Windows 8.1 does identify a whole lot more devices that fall into the category of "multimedia
devices" on the network than does windows 7.
I have tried accessing the menu from safe mode both with and without networking and it takes just as long
to load.
I have noticed that most of the devices in Devices and Printers also show up in file explorer under network.
There is however no delay accessing that menu.
I don't really have a good feeling as to how to go about troubleshooting from here?

Hi,
For the issue, it seems one of services related to device stopped.
I suggest you check the services to see if they start.
Please refer to the following link:

We can try testing if the method in Windows 7 can work on Windows 8.1 computer.
If it doesn't work, I suggest you remove all device to test it.
Meanwhile, let us try SFC tool to check the result.

Browser pages take forever to load

Every time I open Safari or Firefox, the pages take forever to load. I keep getting the color wheel and often have to force quit. I don't think it's the internet signal because I've tried it in 2 different locations (home and work) and the results are the same. I can't load videos (like those on Hulu). My computer memory is about half full, so I don't think it's that. This is a recent problem (within the last week). Any suggestions?

You tube and other videos take forever or keep starting and stoping

youtube and other online videos take forever to open or keep starting and stopping

First thing to check is your actual download speed. Services, especially cable internet providers, say their top speed is "up to" some value. Cable internet is a shared resource so, should someone on your node be hosting online games or hosting a file sharing site from their computer, they are robbing you of bandwidth.
Try this speed tester:
http://speedtest.net/
and compare the results to what your ISP says you can get at max. Also try the test at different times of the day.
If the test shows you are consistently getting only a fraction of what the top-rated speed should be, contact your provider. They can see if there is a problem in your area. Old cable, oxidized connectors, and neighbors hogging the resource are things they can address.

Just updated to iOS 6 for iPhone, and now Yahoo takes forever to load.

Help! I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and now my Yahoo mail either takes forever to load, or never loads at all. Both receiving and sending are sketchy and go at a snail's pace.
I've scoured the Internet and tried all the fixes - deleted account and added again (multiple times), restarted phone, added yahoo account as "other", logged in from a computer, turned off iCloud...
It's driving me bonkers... What am I missing? Yahoo mail still works fine on my iPad, which is running the older iOS.
Heeeeeelp!

iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is the thing to do

Opening documents from server takes forever

If I Lion users creates a document on the server in say something like TextEdit then reopens TextEdit later they are greated to a spinning beach ball while TextEdit tries to resume editing that previous document from the server. I dont want to turn off autoresume since they like being able to log out and return to where they left off when they log back in. But man watching that beach ball spin is painful and takes forever.

Anyone else seeing this. If you have a network user just open a TextEdit document from an AFP share and see if it beachballs TextEdit when the document opens.
Originally I thought it was the auto-resume feature so I turned that off but I am still seeing the beachballing with apps like TextEdit, Quicktime, and Preview. So I am led to believe it has something to do with the new auto-save/versioning feature that is having issues with files stored on network sharepoints.

Sounds like you are in recovery mode. Try using RecBoot to kick it out of recovery. If that does not work, you may need to restore.

How to Enable Plugin before File Opened And Load PDF File From memory?

hello everyone,
there have two problems,all i want to do is to show a pdf file encrypted by AES algorithm.
1.one is how to enable plugin before file opened?
i developed another two plugin,and each enabled after one pdf file was opened,and now i want to replace the file open command and can do some word by meself,such as decrypt the pdf ?
2.another is how to load pdf file from memory?
if i can enable plugin before file opened,and than i can read the file and decrypt it,and now i want to do is do load the decrypt file (in memory) into the adobe?
i tried many method,but all in vain.who can help me or give me some advice?
thanks.
merry chrismas to everyone.

The proper way to handle other file formats (even where it is really a PDF that has been "wrapped") is to create an AVConversionHandler.
To load a PDF from a source other than the file system, you need to create a custom AVFileSys.

Facebook won't load properly. Takes forever and then I get a script page with log-in and then that takes forever and gives me further script that won't let me access anything. Other sites load and work OK!

Started after last auto update several days ago. A few other sites are slow to load while many are good but Facebook just won't present it's usual mix of pre-programmed scripts and links but comes up eventually as part HTML script with a log-in box and when you log-in it then takes forever again and just gives HTML type script for "Friends" "messages" etc. but if you click these it goes nowhere!
Also it won't let me clear history at all despite many tries. I removed and reloaded the program last night but no positive effect.

I still haven't resolved this problem. Here is some more information...
youtube is the only website that has started working, but it sometimes stops working again.
There are many other sites that don't work, cnn.com, washingtonpost.com (sometimes), and a lot of others.
I have contacted our internet service provider and they said that they had nothing to do with the problem.
Some websites will not work at all. Safari tells me that it can't find the server. Some that do this are ups.com, computerworld.com, and others.
I think that the problem is that, for some reason, our mac computers can't access certain servers where we are. (We are at a small ski resort (on the mountain) in Canada.) I think this because when a site doesn't load properly there are several errors and they are all "can't find host" errors from a couple of the same sites (ex. example.something.something).
*Also, I ran a test on speedtest.net on the laptop and one of our iMacs and the results were way faster than anything actually loads/downloads or than the activity monitor shows, even when checking the activity monitor at the same time as running the test.

[bdb bug]repeatly open and close db may cause memory leak

my test code is very simple :
char *filename = "xxx.db";
char *dbname = "xxx";
for( ; ;)
DB *dbp;
DB_TXN *txnp;
db_create(&dbp,dbenvp, 0);
dbenvp->txn_begin(dbenvp, NULL, &txnp, 0);
ret = dbp->open(dbp, txnp, filename, dbname, DB_BTREE, DB_CREATE, 0);
if(ret != 0)
printf("failed to open db:%s\n",db_strerror(ret));
return 0;
txnp->commit(txnp, 0);
dbp->close(dbp, DB_NOSYNC);
I try to run my test program for a long time opening and closing db repeatly, then use the PS command and find the RSS is increasing slowly:
ps -va
PID TTY STAT TIME MAJFL TRS DRS RSS %MEM COMMAND
1986 pts/0 S 0:00 466 588 4999 980 0.3 -bash
2615 pts/0 R 0:01 588 2 5141 2500 0.9 ./test
after a few minutes：
ps -va
PID TTY STAT TIME MAJFL TRS DRS RSS %MEM COMMAND
1986 pts/0 S 0:00 473 588 4999 976 0.3 -bash
2615 pts/0 R 30:02 689 2 156561 117892 46.2 ./test
I had read bdb's source code before, so i tried to debug it for about a week and found something like a bug:
If open a db with both filename and dbname, bdb will open a db handle for master db and a db handle for subdb,
both of the two handle will get an fileid by a internal api called __dbreg_get_id, however, just the subdb's id will be
return to bdb's log region by calling __dbreg_pop_id. It leads to a id leak if I tried to open and close the db
repeatly, as a result， __dbreg_add_dbentry will call realloc repeatly to enlarge the dbentry area, this seens to be
the reason for RSS increasing.
Is it not a BUG?
sorry for my pool english :)

I have tested my program using Oracle Berkeley DB release 4.8.26 and 4.7.25 in redhat 9.0 (Kernel 2.4.20-8smp on an i686) and AIX Version 5.
The problem is easy to be reproduced by calling the open method of db handle with both filename and dbname being specified and calling the close method.
My program is very simple:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include "db.h"
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
int ret, count;
DB_ENV *dbenvp;
char * filename = "test.dbf";
char * dbname = "test";
db_env_create(&dbenvp, 0);
dbenvp->open(dbenvp, "/home/bdb/code/test/env",DB_CREATE|DB_INIT_LOCK|DB_INIT_LOG|DB_INIT_TXN|DB_INIT_MPOOL, 0);
for(count = 0 ; count < 10000000 ; count++)
DB *dbp;
DB_TXN *txnp;
db_create(&dbp,dbenvp, 0);
dbenvp->txn_begin(dbenvp, NULL, &txnp, 0);
ret = dbp->open(dbp, txnp, filename, dbname, DB_BTREE, DB_CREATE, 0);
if(ret != 0)
printf("failed to open db:%s\n",db_strerror(ret));
return 0;
txnp->commit(txnp, 0);
dbp->close(dbp, DB_NOSYNC);
dbenvp->close(dbenvp, 0);
return 0;
DB_CONFIG is like below:
set_cachesize 0 20000 0
set_flags db_auto_commit
set_flags db_txn_nosync
set_flags db_log_inmemory
set_lk_detect db_lock_minlocks
