OT: 10.4.5 super-sluggish?

I've installed the latest OS upgrade on my iBook that I use on tour and for emails, surfing, etc. On my main system I'm still enjoying the supa-dupa stability of 10.4.3 + LP7.1.1
But...
Is it only in my iBook or the system had become super-slow? Safari looks like downgraded to 1.0... very, very slow in scrolling and many many "beach balls" lasting 5/30 seconds... very annoying.
In the finder, menu scrolling is 50% slower (looks like os9)
Are you guys experiencing the same probs? And what about Logic?

I have actually been experiencing some bits of sluggishness as well on my Dual 2GHz G5....
For example, I will be accessing a menu, and before it folds down, it has to think for 5-10 seconds occasoinally. This doesnt happen very often, but I have noticed it lately with the 10.4.5 upgrade.

My iMac (upgraded to Lion) has been behaving super sluggishly.

My iMac (upgraded to Lion) has been behaving super sluggishly. slow to open my Word docs, Slow to close webtabs,.just so S L O W. Suggestions??
I have already tried restarting... I have very few programs..just the MSOffice App. I did look at a lot of websites (looking for vacation rentals).

Well - all of the above were ultimately caused by one thing, of course the one thing I didn't replace - my 5-port Netgear 1Gb switch. Got a replacement and everything is fine. Lion was simply installed at the time the switch failed.

Premiere super sluggish unless I use other User account

Today Pr started being super sluggish ... timeline zoom in / zoom out took 1-2 seconds per action ... loading clips slow ... etc.
So I tried logging out and logging in as another user, and then it worked fine.
My question is ... I don't want to set up a whole new account ... how do I repair / reset my main account's settings?
The only thing I cannot afford to lose is my keyboard mapping.
Should I just delete the "~/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro" folder? Is that enough?
Then just put back a copy of "~/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/7.0/Profile.../Mac/Adobe Premiere Pro Custom.kys" ?
Mac 10.9.1

That seems like a good plan, but make a copy of that folder just in case. And you may be able to accomplish the same thing by holding down the Shift and Opt keys when you launch Pr. If you hold down those keys when you start Pr from the desktop/dock/application folder, Shift will clear your plugin cache and Opt will reset your preferences. Make sure you have competely exited Pr before trying this.
Cheers,

Dock/Dialog animation super sluggish after upgrade.

I'm on a Mac Pro 2011 modal. After the upgrade the Dock and Dialogs animation gets super sluggish; however, when I put Dock on the side it's smooth (the dialogs are still very sluggish) - any ideas? My MBP doesn't have any issues though

how long ago did you finish upgrading? for the first hour or so it might be sluggish because Spotlight is building its index, once that's done it should be back to normal

After Effects CS6 Interface Super Sluggish in Windows and not in OS X!?

I am switching from an "old" 2007 Mac Pro to a new custom built Win 7 64bit PC. Just starting to do work tests and noticed that the interface in AE CS6 on the new Windows machine is super sluggish. Mainly the Layer window when your scrolling through a heavy comp with tons of layers is super sluggish. Just scrolling up and down not scrubbing. Same project on the old Mac does not have this problem and the scrolling of the layers window is super smooth!? What is causing this? I even have the Hardware Accellerate mode on for the interface. Any help would be greatly appreciated because this will be an awful way to work if this is the state of AE on Windows. Thanks.

I'm having the same problem.
Interface is just pure sluggishness, on a brand new machine that rocks. Rendering is fast, but opening a comp with more than just "some" layers and a lot keyframes gets unusable. Just dragging a box to select keyframes for example is extremely sluggish.
Opened the same comp in CS5.5 and CS5 and it worked totally fine.
Any news on this? I'm more frusted with CS6 than with any other AE version until now.
My cache is set to 60GB on a new 830 series SSD from Samsung.

Super sluggish iMac G4

A few days ago, my iMac became weirdly sluggish. For example, webpages are taking 15-20 seconds to render, programs take a minute or two to open (while the icon is bouncing in the dock), files take a long time to copy to a new folder, etc.
Starting up from the CDs and running Disk Utility showed no problems, although it took a long time to process the hard drive.
I've also tried resetting the pram, which did nothing.
Any sugestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Could you please single click on Macintosh HD and then choose Get Info from the File Menu. Please post back with the Capacity, Available and Used values.
It's my experience that the most common cause of a sudden slowdown where nothing appears to have changed is the lack of free hard disk space.
Any OS needs room to breathe and you should leave about 15% of your total free.

Flash CS3 AS editor = super sluggish?

Just wondering if others have the same problems. The AS
editor is incredibly sluggish for me, to the point of irritation,
and I'm not sure if it's a memory related problem or what. Also,
switching between fla's is much slower than Flash 8.
Currently I'm using Vista with 4Gigs of DDR2 800 Ram (only 3
can be used by Vista at once) and 4 Gigs ReadyBoost. Everything
else seems to run fine, Photoshop, Illustrator & Dreamweaver.
Dreamweaver seems to have the same code editor as flash, so I'm not
sure what would cause the lag for Flash.
Thanks!

Vista scares me - i hear nothing but performance problems
with apps running on Vista. Not to say
this is the issue but felt the need to voice my own personal
agenda here on a public forum :)
Sticking with XP and then someday a Mac as well.

Mail slowly eats more and more Real Memory until it's super sluggish

My Mail had been giving me lots of problems.
Basically it is fine when I open it and starts to become more and more slow and unresponsive the longer I have it open. I ultimately have to quit, and it always has to be a force quite because it just gets jammed.
I started looking at Activity Monitor and have noticed that when I first run it, it uses about 150 megs of Real Memory. (I have 4gigs). Over the course of 2 hours, the Real Memory used creeps upwards and upwards, until it's over a GIG. The performance just gets worse and worse. The MB Pro's fans start whizzing away.
Anyone know why this might be happening and what I can do to stop it?
Thanks so much
Scott

Found a post in another Forum which (so far) seems to have fixed my problem:
"I spent some time on the phone with Apple tech support today. They were very helpful and appeared to have solved the problem. They had me go to iSync in the applications directory, go the Preferences and then click on Reset Sync History. First they had me log out of MobileMe, but not sure that was important. I logged back in to MobileMe. I have now been using my Mac for an hour now with no recurrance of the safarisyncclient".
Here's hoping.

My system is moving slower and slower these days, especially during Time Machine backups, but also at other times, for reasons I can't figure out. Here is what EtreCheck says:

It appears that the Google software may be the culprit. It's know to slow down performance. I'd remove the Google software and only use Google Drive when you need it if you must. Remove it from the User Log in Items. If you don't want to use Safari give Firefox a try. It's much better than Chrome and more secure.
You're not having memory issues as seem with the size of Pageouts you're getting but 3 GB of RAM iis marginal. Your model can utilize up to 6 GB of memory. You can replace the 1 GB module with a 4 GB module from Crucial.com or otherworldcomputing.com and see an increase in performance.
Make sure your Wacom tablet software is up to date.

Super Sluggish Performance

I'm running Compressor 2 on 10.4.4 and currently experiencing horrible performance. When I look at my Activity Monitor I see that 2.5 of my 3GB of RAM are not being used along with 50-60% of my processors. Is there a way that I can force Compressor to take advantage of all of my systems resources?
Any insights would be appreciated.

Why is launchpad so sluggish?

For some reason, I installed 10.7.1 and now Launchpad is super sluggish both appearing/disappearing and when doing animations to the point where it is effectively impossible to use. Does ayone know what could be causing this?

As a bit more information, I've discovered that this seems to be related to having an app set to fullscreen on my external monitor with the lid closed. When I disconnect, the fullscreen app will remain at larger than correct size when I wake my mac back up and the scrolling becomes sluggish then.

Sluggish!! (pics are)

Hey guys, just upgraded to the new safari. Had 3.something before I believe. Well here is the thing, whenever I go to any webpage all images are very, and i mean very slow to load up. This was not happening before at all! I can't go from the lightening quick it was before to the super sluggish now... It is bugging me as it takes forever to view any webpage. It is not my internet connection, and not my computer.... Thanks for the help

Empty the cache used by Safari. In Vista/7 it is under AppData/Local and /Roaming
Better yet, set aside your Apple Safari profile and preferences and start with a new profile (you can import or move back your bookmarks).
I use CCleaner to auto run on login which keeps caches and temp files to a minimum and keeps browsers from bogging down.
The same applies even to Firefox, and anytime you move to a new release-point its a good idea to clean things out and empty temp and cache folder.

How do I revert back to Ios 6. My Iphone 4 cannot support IOS 7. I wish somebody had mentioned this before I upgraded.

Caught up in the frenzy, I updated my Iphone 4 to IOS 7. Didn't realize (nor did I hear from Apple) that my phone is too slow to support features on IOS7. It is now super sluggish and has some annoying features. I am so unhappy. Tried to revert back to IOS6 but it seems the "window" to do that has closed. Is there anything else I can do? I really don't want to buy a new phone - this has been more than adequate for my needs. I feel like Apply is forcing people to upgrade their devices by doing this. Any suggestions?

There is no suported way to do this. Apple never has, and never will, support going back to a previous release of iOS 7.
I can only suggest you go through the supported channels.
First, leave feedback at www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Second, call Apple support and file a problem.
Third, visit a local Apple store and see if they can help you at the Genius bar.
Forth, lesson learned. Never do an upgrade before visiting these discussion forums and getting a sense for how well the new release is being accepted. Keeping in mind of course that there are hundreds of millions of iPhone and IPads out there. I read just earlier that over 200 million iPads and iPhone were sold just last year. So of course we all need to factor in that posts to these forums represent a very small fraction of the total number of iPhone and iPad users.

Will LaCie D2 QUADRA with firewire restore my apps back onto my MacBook Pro if I upgrade to Lion and then restore from the external drive?

I ordered the disk to update to Snow Leopard. Did that so I could get the App Store. Did that so I could download Lion. After I installed Lion my MacBook is super sluggish. Takes like 6 seconds just to open a drop-down menu in Finder.
I have been backing up. Will LaCie D2 QUADRA with firewire restore my apps back onto my MacBook Pro if wipe my drive using the USB Lion OS stick (which I think I'll have to buy even though I downloaded the new OS online)? I have been plugging my laptop into the Lacie drive set on "auto" and it's been working great.
One Genius said yes "you will get everything back" but my Mac buddy says "say goodbye to most of your apps". Then a guy at the university I asked "do you have a disk image". And I said "what the **** is a disk image?".
Is the problem that I installed an OS on top of new OS without wiping the drive? Or, is my MacBook Pro too old? Do I need to buy a new one?

Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Any help?

SA will indeed transfer accounts, files and apps at first start. Can do so even faster if you clone the internal HDD onto the external (just split into a partition large enough to contain it) and then use it as the source. Probably faster than Time Machine too. The safest and quickest way to do a disk image or clone is using CarbonCopyCloner (free), and it will preserve the Lion Recovery Partition too.
Since you'll have to re--download the Lion installer again, note that you can concoct your very own Lion Installer USB Stick with it prior to reinstalling and not have to pay for the Apple-branded version. See Kappy's tutorial: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3786371?tstart=0
As for the sluggishness, I believe that a great part of the cause is that you only have 2GB RAM. Don't know if your Mac can take more but try at least to get to 4GB, if not 8GB. Should attempt this before messing with the reinstall, as this may get you what you want.

Garageband '08 stopped working for one user account

I'm running Garageband '08 (4.1.1) on an early 2008 iMac (8,1) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
I recently tried to open a project I started a couple of months ago and Garageband has become unusable. It will open the project and all of the tracks are visible, however, the entire program is super sluggish and the project will not actually play. You can press "Play" but it will play about 1 beat before it freezes again.
So here's the list of things I've tried..........
Tested the same project(s) using another user account. Garageband behaves normally and the projects all play nicely. "So I've got that goin' for me"
I've also tested other programs that use a lot of system resources like iMovie, Final Cut Express, and some 3D modeling/home design software (Sketchup and Sweet Home 3D). These all work fine. While running Garageband the Activity Monitor shows no major system use (CPU I thinks was less than 20%).
I've tried using Disk Utility to verify and repair Permissions and verify and repair the disk. While doing the disk repair I did get a message stating that there were errors that required the original install disk to repair. I did use the install disk and it did successfully repair the errors.
I've also tried deleting all of the preference files for Garageband. I've actually done this multiple times after trying some of the other fixes above (figured give it a clean start).
I've uninstalled Garageband and re-installed it from the original system discs.
Since I'm posting here now you can assume that all of the above attempts have been unsuccessful.
Any thoughts?
Bonus Question: I also have Garageband running on my iPad but Garageband '08 on my Mac doesn't let you exchange files back and forth. I planned to upgrade to a version that does, but before I did they released the new version that won't run on Snow Leopard. I'm not sure my iMac will run the newer OS well so I'd like to stay on Snow Leopard if possible. Is there a way to find an older version of Garagband that will let me exchange projects with my iPad, but not make me upgrade my iMac OS?
Thanks!
