Pages on iPad2 is working extremely slow

Hi, I updated my iPad to iOS 8.1 but since then my Pages is working extremely slow, first in updating the new docs from iCloud Drive, then in being able to work in them. It takes about ten minutes just to get into one document. Can anybody give me a good suggestion in to solving this problem?

(Wow, really unethical, Apple took down my last post, so "rewording this more nicely" I guess)
Agreed. I honestly cannot begin to justify how irresponsible Apple has been over this. I have lost a computer tha may have been damaged by Yosemite, and lost some data through iWork and the apps are totally unusable for the most part. Two classes that require a presentation which I teach were impacted. This is threatening peoples' livelyhoods.
From what I have seen, this largely stems from problems with iCloud Drive. iWork apps crash CONSTANTLY and don't even function when there is an online connection, but turning off the functionality gives you a slight chance before he apps freeze, slow down, or become unusble again.
In the meantime, it seems Apple users are just stuck waiting till the next update. I couldn't even type this response without two crashes from Safari.

Mac working extremely slow

I have MacBook Pro from 2011 year with 8 GB RAM.
I changed hard drive to new one, with 7200 rpm and 16 MB cache, and fully reinstalled system from ESD disk (not from any backups). And the system working extremely slow, like running Windows 2000 on 486 computer.
It is difficult to write text, and actually impossible to make so easy things, like web surfing.
Here is activity monitor picture: actually nothing is running, but CPU full.
PS. Some times, I can see, that kernel_task consumes >300% of CPU.
Looking for advises.
Thank you.

There are quite a few reasons a computer will start to feel slow but the two most common are: an overly full hard drive and not enough memory.
If your computer seems nice and peppy when you first boot it up and then seems to slow down as it is used, memory is likely the culprit. Similarly, if you notice it slows down as you start up another program, the problem is too little memory (or too many programs in use). If this is the case adding more RAM is your answer.
Because programs and the operating system use the hard drive for temporary storage I've always recommended that users keep a good chunk of their hard drive empty. Drive sizes vary tremendously making it harder to recommend a specific amount but if less than 5% - 10% of your drive empty you may not be leaving enough room for virtual memory and various important cache files which can cause a computer to slow down. Move some files to another drive and see if that helps (media files are good candidates for removal since they tend to be large).
These aren't the only reasons a computer might be slow but they are the two I start with.

Photoshop working extremely slow

I just downloaded creative cloud yesterday. Now my photoshop cs6 and photoshop cc are both working extremely slow, and sometimes will just stop working. I have an iMac desktop. HELP!!!

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,

Mac mini works extremely slow

Hi
I have Mac mini that works extremely slow,
it starts to load the OS but turns really slow once the login is done, it takes about 30-40 min to load.
i did few tests like permissions verify and fix, then verify and repair disk which said that Macintosh HD is OK.
What should I do next? Its sounds like hardware issue - for my opinion its the HDD but I can't understand why when I use the Restore mode the computer works fast so maybe its OS issue related? Should I reinstall OSX?
what do you recommend for me as a Mac newbie user
thanks a lot

The boot drive is failing, or you have some other hardware fault.
Back up all data immediately, then make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Outlook 2010 (+ Exchange 2013) works extremely slow

We have a user that works with Outlook 2010 (on a RDS Server) that is connected with cache to Exchange 2013. The response of Outlook is extremely slow and we think because this user has a 15Gb mailbox. However, he refuses to delete any mail for various
reasons. Is there any way to speed up Outlook? The rest of the system works fine, it's just the email.

Hi,
By "connected with cache to Exchange 2013", do you mean the user is using Cached Exchange mode? If not, please help the user switch to Cached Exchange mode to check the result. If the user has any shared folders, also cache those folders to check if it helps.
If we try to start Outlook in safe mode, will this issue persists? To open Outlook in safe mode, press Windows key + R to open the Run box, type
outlook.exe /safe and press Enter. If performance improves, check again to make sure that you disabled any Outlook add-ins that may affect performance.
In addition, please click File tab > Info > section Mailbox Cleanup and check your Exchange Quota information. We can also try to close Outlook,
rename the OST file, and then reopen Outlook to re-create the OST file.
For more troubleshooting steps about slow Outlook performance issue, please refer:

Finder/desktop is working extremely slow on macbook

Hi there,
I'va downloaded about 20 pictures with each the size of aproximately 3 mb onto my desktop(i didn't know they were that big..) and now my desktop is working tremendously slow. Internet is working just fine as well as my docks programms. But anything i want to do from out of my desktop/finder works hardly. I'm now deleting the pictures one by one, however for each pictures it takes like 15 min to only drag them to the trashbin... Can anyone tell me how i can get rid of those huge pictures and get my normal working speed back?
Greetz Maja

In Finder, how much disk space do you have left? Windows has this pesky problem where if you have less than a gigabyte or so it runs slow but I have gone to zero space with OS X without a speed problem. Still, I would generally recommend keeping 1 GB free.
You don't have to delete one by one. Use the Command/Apple key to select multiple files in Finder or iPhoto.
You can try going to Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/) and run Verify Disk, Repair Disk, and Repair Disk Permissions. If you still have a problem, use fsck described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417

N72 working extremely slow

Hi.
I'm using an N72.
1. For past few weeks it has become extremely slow. Most of the times it just hangs for some 10-15 seconds before it becomes operational.
2. Also at times it stops reflecting any new dialed, missed, received calls status. I need to restart the phone before it again remembers the same.
I have around 8MB free in the phone memory and about 20MB free in the memory card.
Plz suggest some way as im facing a big problem because of this.

First try a hard reset if it make any difference.
(Backup phone contents before doing that by PC S).
If it still doesnt behave then check if it is having the latest SW installed on it by *#0000#.

Safari works extremely slow or become unresponsive

Hello,
My safari seems to be really slow, at times, unresponsive where i cant force quit and have to do a hard shut down on the keyboard. I thought it was my wifi connection but i have another laptop in the house that connects and surfs the web fine. Everytime i would open it, it would freeze up and the beach all would spin. Other application works fine but i dont have Firefox or chrome. I have a 2010 15" inch MacBook Pro. I tried doing a couple of solutions i found online such as clearing my cache in utilities, i even got the chance to open safari and clear history once, i also repaired disk permissions. Still, nothing worked for me. This problem began to start when i purchased a external hard drive to place all my iTunes music in it. It attempt to back up when i first installed it but i stopped it. Im not sure if that has to do with anything. I know a bit about computers but im no IT expert. Can someone please help find a solution? Much appreciated.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If there's no improvement, continue.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the 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.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Lr4 is working extremally slow

I have Lenovo ideapad Y730 with 32 bit Windows 7 (3GB RAM), an use 22MP RAW files.
I upgraded Lr (from Lr 3 to Lr 4) and I have problems with working (Lr is very slow and I must restart Lr very frequently - especially after exporting a jpg or decreasing a light noises). I am not able to export a book not at all (after 1-2 hour rendering it communicate an error) - I had only 31 pages).
I upgraded RC 2 but it did not resolved an problems.

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

My CPU started and continues lagging horribly less then a week ago. I have purchased Mackeeper and "cleaned" my computer to the best of my ability, but it is still working extremely slow. I have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Same question as posted in the title. Thanks in advance!

After uninstalling MacKeeper, if you still have the problem, proceed as below.
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
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?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

BT keeps cutting out, when working extremely slow ...

BT has been playing up for ages now, with on average <1mbps download speed, and <0.3mbps upload speed
I can't use the official BT tester, but speedtest.net and speedof.me both give me around this. Apparently, I don't have flash installed - completely untrue, but whatever, it's BT...I wasn't expecting it to work;
We've detected that you don't have Flash installed on your browser
You need Flash installed in order to use this speed tester. Please click below to install. Once you have installed Flash, please return to BT.com and restart the speed test.
Install flash on my computer
Anyways, it works incredibly slowly like this for most of the time (my mobile data is faster), and often cuts out - around 5 mins every hour.
I use the TD-W8980, which is more stable than my BTHomeHub 2. I have tried with the BTHomeHub, yet it is the same, except lower Wi-Fi strength. The results above (<1mbps download, <0.3mbps upload) are connected via UTP cat6 cable, to a gigabit ethernet port on the router. The router is connected via ASDL to an outlet right next to the main box. The outlet was installed by a BT engineer. I have tried the quiet line test, no noise except a very quiet deep hum, probably just the cheap Argos corded phone.

InDesign is working extremely slow in one certain document – any suggestions how to solve this?

I just updated and tested the performance in both C6, CC and CC2014, and also tried deleting the SavedData file before starting InDesign, but the performance is still very slow (10-30 seconds between every move I make). It seems that the problem is only occurring in one certain document. Any ideas how to find the bug or "clean" the document?

Thanks for your input Bart and Doc – I tried both deactivating the preflight and saving as IDML without results. I think I found the "bug" though: a vectorized pattern which I had copy-pasted directly from Illustrator. After removing the vector everything seems to run smoothly again

*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Extremely slow working Satellite 1800 after OS reinstallation

I bought a second hand Satellite 1800. I collected all the drivers from the producers website, but when I formatted the HDD and installed WXP (my own copy, not any bundled software) the notebook works extremely slow... before during HDD read/write process you could hear that typical for it sound... now the hard drive is perfectly noiseless during operation as is slow as hell...
I tried to follow up with the web and it turns out that if I reinstalled the OS from Toshiba Recovery CD it should do the thing... too bad I didn't know I should have such CD when I was buying it... so now I don't have it... Is there anything I could do about it?
Plz Help
Q.

Hi
As far as I know this unit is delivered just with W98SE and WME. The recovery CD with WXP operating system for this unit is not created by Toshiba.
You can install WXP and use all drivers from Toshiba download site. I dont know how much RAM has your unit, but if the unit has under 128 MB RAM you can not expect that your unit runs fast.
