PDFReader Pro slow

I have found that PDFReader Pro is very slow when moving from page to page. Touching the < and > arrows is the same as touching the edge of the page. The problem exists for both of the documents I am trying to read. One is 50 KB and the other is 3 MB.

Try Fast PDF, United Reader, or free Cloudreader. I like FastPDF, seems like the best one so far. Avoid good reader, that app lags when zooming.

Mid 2010 macbook pro slow to sleep. No print queu issues.

Hey everyone! My Mid 2010 macbook pro slow is slow to go to sleep. I have read several community forums and I've checked for old print jobs (which seems to be a common issue) and have found none. I've also reset all printers and jobs. Anyways, it takes 35 to 60 seconds to go sleep (until fan/harddrive turns off/I see blinking white light). This slow sleep occurs even with a complete fresh install of Mavericks, and even after installing a new SSD. I am honestly at a loss.
I did the "pmset -g log" command and I have found two reoccurring things that I think might be the reason (though I don't really understand it fully). I commonly see "TimedOut InternalPreventSleep "com.apple.powermanagement.darkwakelinger" 00:00:15" commonly and "PreventUserIdleSystemSleep "Address Book Source Sync" 00:00:30". I have bolded both of these below:

Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share?

Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share? We use a Windows Server for graphics storage and I can open the share just fine, but when I attempt to open folders within that share it takes sometimes as long at 15 minutes to display the contents of the folders. This happend before and I switched to the other NIC port, but now it is doing it in both. I can open other connections to Windows SMB shares with no problem.

Why is my Macbook Pro slow to wake after sleep?

Why is my Macbook Pro slow to wake after sleep?

I am having the same issue. I hook it up to the charger in the evening and close the lid. When I go to use it the next time it takes a good 30 seconds or so to wake up. The screen shows the log in screen but typing doesn't work and the cursor is frozen. Sometimes it will even give the rainbow wheel for the cursor, so it seem like it is processing whatever to get going. I also notice that my battery won't be fully charged at anywhere from 95%-99% after being charged a full evening. What can I do to change whatever is happening because it is pretty crappy to charge it all night expecting to have a full battery for the next use, plus the issue of having to sit there waiting for it to boot every time.

Why is my MacBook Pro slow? Beach ball

Boy, I was looking at a discussion of this from TODAY, about a half hour ago, and now can't find it.
"Why is my MacBook Pro slow?" brings "screen tearing issue" and other things not related to my problem.
I got and ran Easyfind, and got rid of MacKeeper.
What else do I need to do?
I have the beach ball way too often.
I just made an iMovie, but optimizing it for YouTube is impossible. Boxes keep getting grayed out; complete hangup.
Can easyfind help further?
Thank you.

Hi Tomo 2,
Kim Komando said get Sophos, so I did. I see it found something called Bredo-K on Nov. 22.
It's now scanning my OVER 5 MILLION FILES. Seriously, I don't think I need that many.
Right now about 50% of CPU idle,
about 1.03 GB Ram free.
Sophos is using about 90% of whatever.
This scanning could take all weekend. I need to get rid of some stuff. Hard to know what, though.
Thanks for any more ideas.
Jerry

MacBook Pro Slow Booting and Operating

Hi all, I've been searching around the forum all day reading similar entries and trying some of the proposed fixes, but unfortunately none of them have helped my situation.
Last night I was working on my machine as normal, running a program called Pro Tools for audio work, and it froze up on me. Eventually I had to force the program to quit and was able to restart and run with success. However, this morning when I started up the machine for a session I was taken back by how slowly it booted up. I was even more taken back by how slow the machine was operating once booted. This has never happened. It is even freezing momentarily as I type this with the colored wheel spinning.
So far I've made a backup with Time Machine, put preferences in another folder temporarily, repaired disk permissions, checked SMART status is GOOD, reset SMC, and I'm sure some other things I can't remember.
Activity monitor is good - shows CPU @ 80% idle, and RAM is 5.53GB Free of 8 GB.
Here is a log of my last boot. As I understand it this may help some of you more advanced users in identifying any causes. THANKS in advance for any advice!!!

If you don't use Digidesign Pro Tools often you can dual boot when needed to run the software.
Possible it's the hard drive? If so any recommendations? SSD???
It's possible this is a sign of a failing drive. SSD would give your comuter a big boost. Check out the videos on how to install on this site.
This site is recommended here by many of the posters. You might look at upgrading your RAM if you only have 4GB installed.
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
Upgrade RAM
Open System Profiler > Hardware
Copy the Serial number and model identifier
Under Memory in System Profiler, you'll see how many slots and what is installed. You need matching pairs. Most likely you will have to replace RAM you have installed unless you have 4 slots and are only using 2 slots.
Go to this page:
http://support.apple.com/specs/
Copy the Serial number in the "Search Tech Specs" search box. This will take you to the info on your computer.
(Note: Apple specs often do not show how much you can add to older computers. Macsales has tested and found more RAM can be installed than indicated by Apple. If you are upgrading an older computer, I suggest checking with sales first to see how much more you can add.)
Before you do costly repairs on an old Mac compare it to the cost of a new MacBook Air. Apple recently dropped the prices on the MacBook Airs by $100. Best Buy has been offering additional discounts on the Air. Prices start around $850.
http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-air
If you do purchase a new computer, get 8GB RAM. RAM is soldered in and you can't upgrade later.

Msi Ge60 apache pro slow sometimes

Hi, i have the ge60 now 2 month and did some reinstall because the laptop is at some point very slow.
Games like call of duty are at that moment unplayeble other things like google chrome and internet are slow to.
i did a clean reinstall but then it is good for several days, and then it starts out of nothing.
I cant figure out if the computer is updating someting. nothing runs on background no viruscanner or someting else.
where could i start finding this problem? does anyone reconize this?
its a ge60 apache pro gtx860
also the computer cannot be shut down when this happens.. it goes to the Log in screen.. and then i shut down again and does it again

Are you having the FreeDOS unit? or you have a pre-installed OS?
Mind to share the Resource Monitor page? Check if there is any unusual usage of the CPU, memory or disks.

Installed Yosemite on my macbook pro slow down the RAM

Hi Everyone
few Days ago I Just Installed new Operating System from App Store, Unfortunately My laptop stop working while typing in Word file. After 24 hr of installation my mac book worked perfectly until there was two application of iphoto and iMovine that asked me for update, which I did.
but since then I couldn't access my file or do anything in normal running. the good thing is that I managed to back up all my file through the safe mode.
So far what I did: I deleted All my catch file all the applications that I believed that is taking so much memory, ( Iphoto and Imovie), did the repair permission,
and other suggestion like download application like CleanMyMac 2 to delete all unnecessary file
As I read from other ppl that experienced this I download Etrechck to show you the details of my system configuration:
Could someone tell me what should I do.. I was thinking of replacing my cable to my hard disk ... that might be cause of slow running or should I re-install again ..! any advice will be appreciated

Installing CleanMyMac was just about the worst thing you could do. Get rid of it: Re: cleanmymac2

2 yr old Macbook Pro slow & has frozen 13x past 2 days

I need assistance on figuring out what is causing my MacBook pro to slow down. There are three things that are happening here:
-Every 45 seconds to 2 minutes I will get the spinning color wheel...probably my Macbook thinking, but it was running like a stallion almost 72 hours ago.
-When I boot the Macbook up there is an extra long wait at the grey screen with the apple logo in the middle.
-Often times when viewing youtube, streaming pandora, or playing league of legends the computer will freeze - causing me to hard reboot.
I've tried several things:
-Verified disk (nothing was wrong) still verified it anyways.
-Checked permissions and repaired permissions.
-Started in Safe Mode and rebooted.
I have read other forum discussions and went ahead and deleted non-sense apps that were unnecessary. I have moved my user files to my external hard drive and have an appointment at the genius bar on Wednesday...but I still want to know how to fix the issue. I really dislike having my personal belongings not working as they should be and it's really bothering me.
I appreciate your support and assistance. Also, if you have a solution - please provide me with a reason as to why I am doing it so I can understand it better. I would prefer a little bit of validation...I don't want to make things worse than they already are.

I also used TSM adware removal app and it deleted 'spigot'..that's the only thing i caught. Do you have any more recommendations? I'm going to use Safe mode right now and see if it freezes like that.

Why is my MacBook Pro slowe when I open it off line to view photo images?

I had recently activated iCloud. I have it set not to copy my photos or data, but only settings and a few other categories. I opened it offline in Preview to quickly view photos on memory cards. I found it slow, with a drop down box periodically flashing open from the top of the screen. It appears to be attempting to copy or save my images. I presume this is to iCloud, though I have it specifically unchecked and do not want it saved to iCloud. I have Dropbox, which I quit, so it is not a factor. I never save my photo images there either. In the past, it was never problem to open and view images with Preview. Now it is extremely slow to open and load images for contact sheet view. All this is recent with the addition of Mavericks and iCloud. Also, I attempted to get out of this by quitting, but had to resort to a forced quit, as it continued to do what it was doing.
Is there a way to be sure iCloud is not copying things and slowing down my computer? Is this a glitch caused by Mavericks?
I have done scans with Sophos Antivirus and it does not appear I have any virus. I have lost all the speed of having a Mac. It is now slower than my old dual core Acer PC. I recently added a Caldigit Thunderbolt dock which has worked great to add USB 3.0 to my early 2011 MacBook Pro which had not 3.0 ability, but this
was bypassed, as my card reader is only 2.0. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
<Edited by Host>

I think I have found the source of my problem detailed above. Apparently, there have been problems with Preview running on OS Mavericks, dating back to October 2013, which Apple has yet to acknowledge or address. Many have had similar problems with photo images loading very slowly to the point of making Preview unuseable.
It may also explain problems I have had with flash drives and hard drives that ran on my Mac Book Pro under Lion no longer working since upgrading to Mavericks. I found other postings on these issues.
It is a shame that I have to resort to Google as the best source to identify problems with my Mac and possible solutions. In many cases, it directs me to the source on Apple Support, which is difficult to find when one attempts a search via Apple Support. This could use some improvement.
I am new to using community support sites and Apple does not seem to provide simple, clear directions on how to get started. Jumping in with both feet, not only did I get wet, but I apparently "splashed" someone, as I got a hostile response from another community member on the first issue ever posted. I never did get an answer to the problem, though. I hope some find these comments helpful.
Oh, and wake up, Apple. We all would hope you monitor and glean information from these postings and act promptly to remedy problems with OS Mavericks.

Old MacBook Pro slow and hangs frequently, hard drive problems?

Hi,
I have an old Macbook Pro (one of the originals, from about 4 1/2 years ago). Recently I've been noticing that it runs really slow, especially when its been running for a while and there are multiple programs open. It will take a long time to switch between windows, opening a tab in Safari will usually cause a spinning beach ball for 10-15 seconds and Safari crashes frequently. Other programs have similar problems, but don't normally crash. It's running Snow Leopard and has 1GB of RAM. Obviously I expect it to be slower with lots of stuff open, but my usage patterns haven't changed and its performance certainly has. The harddrive always seems to be being accessed when I have these problems.
The hard drive S.M.A.R.T. status is "verified," and I ran the Apple Hardware Test and it came out fine. But I'm still really worried that something could be going wrong, especially with the hard drive and since I am going away in a few weeks to work on a project and will be away from my backup drive I really want to make sure any problem is taken care of beforehand.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be the the problem or about anything I should try?
Much Thanks.

With lots of concurrent processes and insufficient memory you will experience slow performance and beachballing. This is because the OS is forced to use the hard drive to replace the non-existent physical RAM. See the following:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Also, a small hard drive with too little free space and a system lacking in any regular maintenance can also lead to slow performance. See the following:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
ynchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

This should give you a few things to start sorting things out and getting better performance from your computer within its limitations.
If you have a Core Duo model then 2 GBs is the maximum RAM you can install. If you have a Core 2 Duo model then you can install up to 4 GBs but they system will only make use of 3 GBs. As for the hard drive it can be replaced. Notebook drives in the 250 to 500 GB - 7200 RPM range are relatively inexpensive. Visit OWC for pricing on drives and RAM.

Macbook Pro Slows To A Crawl, Please Help!

Ok so here's the problem. I realize people get this problem all the time but it's usually for various different reasons so I figured I'd throw my story down and see if any of you know what it could be.
About a week ago I dropped my Macbook Pro from my bunkbed at college. I know, I know. I know more than you guys how stupid and terrible of a feeling it was just witnessing it fall to the ground without me being able to do anything about it. Luckily(?) it fell directly on its top. I freaked and frantically opened the thing and to my surprise it worked perfectly fine...
...Except for the fact that now every single time I open up the lid to use it the SuperDrive I believe makes 3 annoying sounds that sounds strikingly similar to a disc being ejected or inserted. I discovered some things to help that but I realized that it wasn't too big of a deal, especially when the laptop decided to hit the ******* today, making my problems much greater.
I was simply putting some music files into iTunes, with my iTouch connected. As they started to download or whatever they do in iTunes, it would always freeze at a certain song, making me restart the laptop. Every time I loaded iTunes back up and it attempted to download the songs I would get an error messages saying that 'my backup may be corrupt and to delete the files'. One time after restarting I went to iTunes to find all my songs gone and only the ones from the Cloud (not mine, my sisters) on there. This is when I decided to get rid of all the cloud songs and re-put all mine (2700ish) back onto iTunes. About 2/3rds of the way through it hit the can and gave me a beachball. I then went to look online for how to do that and before long the entire laptop began to slow. I mean slowwwwwww. Its only gotten worse. Clicking on anything will result in a beachball and a 10-15 minute wait at the minimum, and that's just to click on a icon on the dock. The slowing begins immediately from booting up the MBP. I believe the process of turning it on after a Shut Down is now beginning to take longer.
It's too slow for me to even attempt to do anything with these 'corrupt backups'. I just don't know what caused it, seeing as I was doing something I do all the time. And I surely don't know what could be done to fix it.
Also interesting(uninteresting?) to note is that nothing on the Activity Monitor is out of the norm. When no application is being used (I wouldn't be able to test it out otherwise) the CPU, RAM, and all that good stuff is per usual, like 98% idle, 2% used, etc..
Any help is much appreciated!

Damage was done when your computer fell. Your warranty if you have one and Apple Care do not cover accidental damage. Your only alternative is to take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
NOTE: If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with. They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

Firefox on MacBook Pro Slowed To A Crawl - Anyone Else Had This Problem???

Hey Folks,
I have Mac Book Pro with 2gigs of ram. Firefox has run great on it, until the other day. I had systems crash while using firefox.
After that firefox runs very slow. I tried uninstalling then re-installing firefox. Still the same problem.
I even re-installed the Mac OS software.
Still the same problem????
Anyone have any ideas whats going on and how to fix?
At this point Firefox isn't usable because it has become so slow.

Yes. I've had this problem developing over the past several weeks. I thought it was a bad extension so I removed them one by one. Then I actually removed and re-installed but that didn't solve he problem. I've now removed it and switched back to Safari until I read an acknowledgement and a fix from Mozilla.
I'm not sure this is related but it's sure one heck of a coincidence... My Yahoo Messenger was taking an extremely long time to launch. I'd get the spinning beachball for upward of 30 seconds before I'd see the logon screen. Since removing Firefox that problem seems to be gone as well. Just for reference, I had been using the latest release of Firefox.
